A new ligand containing long alkyl (octadecyl) chains was used to obtain the mesogenic complex [L2Cu4(mu4-O)(OAc)4].EtOH (1). This complex was thoroughly characterized and had its molecular structure solved by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Mesomorphic properties were demonstrated by means of polarized microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and XRD.

BACKGROUND Previous studies on the use of SO2 and CO2 as impregnating agent for sugar cane bagasse steam treatment showed comparative and promising results concerning the cellulose enzymatic hydrolysis and the low formation of the inhibitors furfural and hydroxymethylfurfural for the use of CO2 at 205°C/15 min or SO2 at 190°C/5 min. In the present study sugar cane bagasse materials pretreated a...

We analyze graphene and some of the carbon allotropes for which graphene sheets form the basis. The real-space and reciprocal crystalline structures are analyzed. Theoretical X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns are obtained from this analysis and compared with experimental results. We show that staggered two-dimensional hexagonal lattices of graphite have XRD patterns that differ significantly fro...

cobalt oxide (co3o4) nanoparticleshave been synthesized by hydrothermal method using mixture of cobalt(ii)chloride, triton x-100 and koh in an autoclave at 180 °c for 6 h followed by heating at 400 ºc for 3 h in air. the product have been characterized by fourier transform infrared (ft-ir), uv-vis spectroscopy, powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and transmission ...

in this paper, we used tetranuclear copper (ii) schiff base complexes, [cu4 (μ-sal2hn) (μ-n3)2(n3)2] (1) and [cu4 (μ-salophen) (μ1, 1-n3)2(n3)2] (2), as new precursor in solid-state thermal decomposition for the synthesis of cuo nanoparticles. the crystallinity, purity and morphology of the cuo nanoparticles were characterized by fourier transform infrared (ft-ir), x-ray diffraction (xrd) and s...
