Abstract The N,O,S‐donor Schiff base ligand 2‐[( E )‐(2‐mercaptophenylimino)methyl]‐4,6‐di‐ tert ‐butylphenolate(2–) (H 2 L) was deprotonated with triethylamine (2 equiv.) and treated with equimolar amounts of Cu(OAc) 2 · H 2 O, PtCl 2 , Pd(OAc) 2 , and CoCl 2 , respectively. The versatility of L 2– is realized in the…

A simple monatomic system in two dimensions with a double-well interaction potential is investigated in a wide range of temperatures by molecular-dynamics simulation. The system is melted and equilibrated well above the melting temperature, and then it is quenched to a temperature 88% below the melting temperature at…

Vibrational spectra of vapor-phase ethanethiol and tert-butylthiol have been recorded in the 1000 to 12,000 cm(-1) region. Both the gauche and trans conformers of ethanethiol are observed. The intensities of SH-stretching vibrations are found to be significantly weaker than the equivalent CH-stretching vibrations and…

We study the low volume fraction and electric field phase behavior of a Brownian colloidal suspension. On the application of a uniform ac field, we find a novel phase where chains of particles aggregate to form a well defined cellular network, consisting of particle-free "voids" surrounded by a percolating network of…

Magnetoelectric phase diagrams of the perovskite manganites, Eu1-xYxMnO3 and Gd1-xTbxMnO3, are theoretically studied. We first construct a microscopic model, and then analyze the model using the Monte-Carlo method. We reproduce the diagrams, which contain two different multiferroic states, i.e., the ab-plane spin cycl…

The structural and mechanical properties of γ-B28 are investigated using first-principles density functional calculations. The single-crystal elastic constants calculations show that γ-B28 is mechanically stable under ambient conditions. The predicted bulk and shear moduli of γ-B28 are comparable to those of boron sub…

Oxygen vacancies on ZnO(0001) have been proposed to be the catalytically active sites for methanol synthesis on pure ZnO. The charge state and thus the chemical reactivity of such vacancies on this polar O-terminated basal plane of ZnO is expected to be intimately connected to the degree of its hydroxylation in view o…

Synthetic haggite V(4)O(6)(OH)(4) has been successfully obtained for the first time after a delay of more than 50 years. Our careful analysis clarifies the formula of haggite as V(4)O(6)(OH)(4), rather than the long-standing known V(4)O(4)(OH)(6). The semiconductor of haggite shows a rapid increase of resistance by >1…
