چکیده

Very high-frequency (50–715 GHz) electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies of the tetranuclear Co complex [Co(hmp)(dmb)Cl]4 (1), where dmb is 3,3-dimethyl-1-butanol and hmp is the monoanion of 2-hydroxy-methylpyridine, reveal the presence of significant zero-field-splitting (ZFS) within the ground state spin multiplet. Meanwhile, low-temperature hysteresis measurements of 1 (and related Co 4 complexes) provide evidence for slow magnetization relaxation, suggesting that it could be a single-molecule magnet (SMM). However, EPR studies of a Zn analog of 1, doped with a small quantity of Co, show the ground state of the Co ions to be an effective spin S0 = 1/2 Kramers doublet with a highly anisotropic g-tensor. The question then arises as to the origin of the ZFS within the ground state spin multiplet of 1, as well as the slow magnetization relaxation. Here, we consider the effect of anisotropic exchange interactions between the effective spin S0 = 1/2 Kramers ions within the tetranuclear complex. Such exchange anisotropy arises naturally when one treats the ground state of high-spin Co as a Kramers doublet. Our model provides an explanation for the ZFS in the ground state observed via EPR, and can also account for qualitative features observed through magnetic measurements. 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

Improving seismic image in complex structures by new solving strategies in the CO-CRS and the CO-CDS methods

Conventional seismic imaging possesses problem in exposing structural detail in complex geological media. Nevertheless, some recently introduced methods reduce this ambiguity to some extent, by using data based imaging operator or emancipation from the macro-velocity model. The zero offset common reflection surface (ZO-CRS) stack method is a velocity independent imaging technique which is frequ...

On the Reaction of C(PPh3)2 with [Co2(CO)8]: Formation and Structure of an Unusual Tetranuclear Cluster

The reaction of the carbodiphosphorane C(PPh3)2 (1) with [Co2(CO)8] results in the formation of the salt-like complex (HC{PPh3}2)[Co(CO)4] (2) in high yield if THF is used as the solvent. The proton of the cation stems from THF degradation. When the reaction is carried out in toluene, the tetranuclear cluster [Co4(CO)10(PPh3)(μ4-CCPPh3)] (3) is formed in low yield as the only complex which coul...

Efficient Dehydrogenation of Amines and Carbonyl Compounds Catalyzed by a Tetranuclear Ruthenium-mu-Oxo-mu-Hydroxo-Hydride Complex.

The tetranuclear ruthenium-mu-oxo-mu-hydroxo-hydride complex {[(PCy(3))(CO)RuH](4)(mu(4)-O)(mu(3)-OH)(mu(2)-OH)} (1) was found to be a highly effective catalyst for the transfer dehydrogenation of amines and carbonyl compounds. For example, the initial turnover rate of the dehydrogenation of 2-methylindoline was measured to be 1.9 s(-1) with the TON of 7950 after 1 h at 200 degrees C. The exten...
