Copper(II) complexes of tetradentate thioether-oxime ligands
Two dinuclear copper(II) thioether-oxime complexes ([Cu(DtdoH)]2(ClO4)2 and [Cu(DtudH)]2(ClO4)2 Æ 2CH3OH) have been synthesized. [Cu(DtdoH)]2(ClO4)2 reacted with excess BF3 Æ OEt2 to yield [Cu(Thyclops)]ClO4, a BF2 þ-macrocyclized di-oxime. [Cu(DtdoH)]2(ClO4)2 and [Cu(DtudH)]2(ClO4)2 Æ 2CH3OH are the first representatives of copper(II) thioether oximes which exhibit the classical out-of-plane o...
متن کاملModelling spiral growth at dislocations and determination of critical step lengths from pyramid geometries on calcite {} surfaces
To visualise the morphologic changes of a growing spiral pyramid, a mathematical model was developed and implemented in an algorithm that can loop through the sequential time-frames in a growth sequence. The algorithm simulates growth of spiral pyramids with geometries reflecting variation in the step velocity ratio and critical lengths of inequivalent steps. We have developed a new mathematica...
متن کاملPlasmonic Solar Cells, a New Way to Enhance Energy Conversion Efficiency: Analysis and Modeling of Effect of Metal Geometry
In this article, the effect of plasmonic properties of metal nanoparticles with different shapes, and moreover, their plasmonic-photonic interaction, on solar cell performance were investigated and simulated. Because of low conversion efficiency and then high cost of solar cells, it is difficult to commercialize and replace them with conventional energy resources. But in recent years, the plasm...
متن کاملMeasuring Velocity Changes along a Solar Chimney
The increasing consumption of energy from fossil fuels on the one hand and the pollution created by it on the other hand has always raised the concern of replacing clean and renewable energy with fossil fuels in the human mind. Generating electricity through clean energy can be a good solution to reduce pollutants and prevent global warming. One of the most available types of renewable energy i...
متن کاملSolar Sail Science Mission Applications and Advancement
Solar sailing has long been envisaged as an enabling or disruptive technology. The promise of openended missions allows consideration of radically new trajectories and the delivery of spacecraft to previously unreachable or unsustainable observation outposts. A mission catalogue is presented of an extensive range of potential solar sail applications, allowing identification of the key features ...
