A reverberation chamber can create very high field strength with moderate input power. Existing chambers are making use of a paddle wheel to change the resonant modes in the chamber. A transportable reverberation chamber with vibrating walls will be presented. Inside this Vibrating Intrinsic Reverberation Chamber (VIRC) a diffuse, statistically uniform electromagnetic field is created, without ...

A series of metal-organic frameworks representing a non-interpenetrated framework analogue of MOF-14 have been synthesized by using two different linkers, 4,4',4''-benzene-1,3,5-triyl-benzoic acid (H(3)BTB) and 4,4'-bipyridine (Bpy). Interestingly, the transition metal ions in the paddle-wheel metal clusters could be exchanged by other transition metal ions via a direct single-crystal to single...

The title compound, [Ni(2)(C(7)H(5)O(2))(4)(C(7)H(6)O(2))(2)], is composed of two Ni(II) ions, four bridging benzoate anions and two η(1)-benzoic acid mol-ecules. The [Ni(2)(PhCOO)(4)] unit adopts a typical paddle-wheel conformation. The center between the two Ni(II) atoms represents a crystallographic center of inversion. In addition, each Ni(II) ion also coordinates to one O atom from a benzo...

A metal-organic truncated octahedron (termed MOP-28) has been constructed from six rigid square-shaped Cu2(CO2)4 paddle-wheel building units and twelve 2,2':5',2' '-terthiophene-5,5' '-dicarboxylate (TTDC) linkers. TTDC linker in the cis,cis conformation provides the critical 90 degrees linkage for this unique construction. The porous structure of MOP-28 is maintained even after the removal of ...

The title complex, [Cd(2)(C(8)H(7)O(3))(4)(C(20)H(22)N(4)O)(2)], forms a dimer of the paddle-wheel type, located on a crystallographic inversion centre. The Cd(II) ion is hexa-coordinated by four carboxylate O atoms [Cd⋯O = 2.280 (2)-2.404 (2) Å] from two chelating 4-methoxy-benzoate anions, and two N atoms [Cd⋯N = 2.313 (2) and 2.332 (2) Å] from one chelating 2,2'-dimethyl-3,3'-(oxydiethyl-ene...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cu(2)(C(12)H(9)O(2))(4)(C(3)H(7)NO)(2)], contains two independent centrosymmetric dinuclear copper(II) complexes. The central paddle-wheel units are formed by four bridging bidentate naphthalene-1-acetate ligands with two dimethyl-formamide ligands in the axial positions. The unique Cu(II) ions have slightly distorted square-pyramidal coordination geo...

In the binuclear copper(II) title complex, [Cu2(C9H7O4)4(C2H3N)2], an inversion centre is situtated at the mid-point of the Cu-Cu bond. The Cu(II) atom together with its four coordinated O atoms are in a distorted planar square arrangement while the nitro-gen and the other Cu(II) atom are located in apical positions. The whole mol-ecule looks like a paddle-wheel. In the crystal, chains are asse...

A highly porous metal-organic framework (Cu-TDPAT), constructed from a paddle-wheel type dinuclear copper cluster and 2,4,6-tris(3,5-dicarboxylphenylamino)-1,3,5-triazine (H₆TDPAT), has been tested in Ullmann and Goldberg type C-N coupling reactions of a wide range of primary and secondary amines with halobenzenes, affording the corresponding N-arylation compounds in moderate to excellent yield...
