This paper presents study of a 6.78 MHz RF source with impedance matching network based inductively coupled plasma generator ignition system for an Hion source. Two types of 10 turn RF antenna (solenoid coil) were developed, to couple the RF power to the ignition plasma chamber. The antenna’s electric parameters were measured using Vector Network Analyzer (VNA). A copper conductor of 3 x 4 mm s...

The asymmetric unit of the title salt, [p-FC6H4CH2NH3]+·H2PO4-, contains one 4-fluoro-benzyl-ammonium cation and one di-hydrogen phosphate anion. In the crystal, the H2PO4- anions are linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to build corrugated layers extending parallel to the ab plane. The FC6H4CH2NH3+ cations lie between these anionic layers to maximize the electrostatic inter-actions and are linked to...

Rhodopsin has developed mechanisms to optimize its sensitivity to light by suppressing dark noise and enhancing quantum yield. We propose that an intramolecular hydrogen-bonding network formed by ∼20 water molecules, the hydrophilic residues, and peptide backbones in the transmembrane region is essential to restrain thermal isomerization, the source of dark noise. We studied the thermal stabili...

Histidine 30 in human manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) is located at a site partially exposed to solvent with its side chain participating in a hydrogen-bonded network that includes the active-site residues Tyr(166) and Tyr(34) and extends to the manganese-bound solvent molecule. We have replaced His(30) with a series of amino acids and Tyr(166) with Phe in human MnSOD. The crystal struct...

We investigated structural changes, phase diagram, and vibrational properties of hydrogen hydrate in filled-ice phase C(2) by using first principles molecular dynamics simulation. It was found that the experimentally reported "cubic" structure is unstable at low temperature and/or high pressure: The "cubic" structure reflects the symmetry at high (room) temperature where the hydrogen bond netwo...

In the title compound, [Mn(C(5)H(9)N(2)O(7)P(2))(2)(H(2)O)(2)], the Mn(II) atom (site symmetry ) is coordinated by four phos-pho-n-ate O atoms from a pair of partially deprotonated 1-hydr-oxy-2-(imidazol-3-yl)ethane-1,1-bis-phophonic acid ligands (imhedpH(3) (-)) and two water mol-ecules, resulting in a slightly distorted trans-MnO(6) octa-hedral geometry for the metal ion. In the ligands, the ...

In the crystal of the title mol-ecular salt, C(5)H(8)N(3) (+)·C(8)H(5)O(4) (-), the diamino-pyridine cation and the phthalate anion are linked by a pair of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Within the phthalate anion, an almost symmetrical O-H⋯O hydrogen bond is observed. The ion pairs are linked by further N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating a two-dimensional network lying parallel to (10).

The compound trans-[PtCl2(NH2C6H4CO2H)2] has been prepared from the hydrolysis of a platinum diimine complex, and has been characterised by X-ray crystallography. The crystal structure revealed that the compound forms a two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network in the solid state, with pairs of O–H···O hydrogen bonds between carboxylic acid groups linking the molecules into zigzag tapes, which ar...
