In the title dinuclear salen-type complex, [CuEu(C(22)H(24)N(2)O(4))(NO(3))(3)(CH(3)OH)], the Cu(II) ion is five-coordinated to two imine N atoms and two phenolate O atoms and one O from the bridging nitrate group. The Eu(III) ion is ligated to three nitrate groups, four O atoms from the salen-type ligand and one methanol mol-ecule, leading to a distorted tenfold coordination for the rare earth...

The title compound, K(2)Sm(MoO(4))(PO(4)), has been prepared under atmospheric conditions using a high temperature solution growth (HTSG) method. The structure of K(2)Sm(MoO(4))(PO(4)) is isotypic with other A(2)M(MoO(4))(PO(4)) compounds, where A = Na or K, and M = trivalent rare earth cation. It can be described as being built up from two-dimensional anionic layers with composition [Sm(MoO(4)...

The synthesis and spectroscopic investigation of aza-crown ethers with anthraquinoneand 1-aminoanthraquinone-functionalized side chains are described. Cation-induced shifts in the UV/VIS absorption spectra of the ligands dissolved in propylene carbonate are observed only for Li+ among the alkali metal ions and for Mg2+ among the alkaline earth metal ions as well as for Ag+ and T1+. Only hypsoch...

Single crystals of α-Ba(2)P(2)O(7), dibarium diphosphate, were obtained under hydro-thermal conditions. The structure belongs to the diphosphate A(2)P(2)O(7) series with A being an alkaline earth cation. α-Ba(2)P(2)O(7) crystallizes isotypically with α-Sr(2)P(2)O(7). All atomic sites have site symmetry m with the exception of two O atoms which reside on general positions. Both Ba(2+) cations ar...

We investigate the dopant distribution and its influence on the oxygen ion conductivity of ceria doped with rare earth oxides by combining density functional theory and Monte Carlo simulations. We calculate the association energies of dopant pairs, oxygen vacancy pairs and between dopant ions and oxygen vacancies by means of DFT + U including finite size corrections. The cation coordination num...

The structure of the title compound, (C(3)N(2)H(5))(3)[Dy(C(7)H(3)NO(4))(3)]·3H(2)O, contains a mononuclear Dy(III) complex with the rare earth metal cation in a distorted tricapped trigonal-prismatic environment. The Dy(III) ion is in each case O,N,O'-chelated by three tridentate pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl-ate anions. Three protonated imidazole mol-ecules act as counter-cations and three lattice ...

The acid property of alkali and alkali earth cation exchanged clinoptiolites were observed by micro-calorimetry of NH(3) adsorption at 200 degrees C. The reaction rates on decomposition of tert-butyl acetate (TBA) over clinoptilolites was proportional to the acid strength. 1,4-Dihydropyridines were oxidized to corresponding Pyridines in high yields at room temperature by H(2)O(2) aqueous soluti...

Selective alkaline and earth metal ion encapsulation by two different Lehn-type cryptands, noted as [3.2.1] [4.1.1], was predicted between them compared on the DFT (B3LYP/LANL2DZp) basis set. Since these cryptands are isomers to well-known [2.2.2] cryptand, cation selectivity of all three cages were compared. The ability host adjust their structure successfully accommodate ions, based energy ge...

INTRODUCTION In 1975, Small and coworkers first introduced the concept of ion chromatography (IC) that allowed the sensitive detection of ions using suppressed conductivity detection. A significant portion of this work was dedicated to cation analysis. The original components described by Small et al. for the separation of cations included a low-capacity, sulfonated polystyrene/ divinylbenzene ...
