In the title compound, [Zr(C(5)H(5))(C(13)H(9))(2)Cl]·C(7)H(8), the Zr(IV) atom is coordinated by a Cl atom, a cyclo-penta-dienyl (Cp) ligand [Zr-centroid (Cp) = 2.199 (3) Å] and two fluorenyl ligands (Fl) [Zr-centroid (Fl) = 2.273 (2) Å and Zr-CH from fluorenyl = 2.355 (2) Å] in a distorted tetra-gonal geometry. The dihedral angles between the mean planes of the fluorenyl ring systems and the ...

The effect of gold presence on carbon monoxide oxidation and ethanol steam reforming catalytic behavior of two Ce-Zr-Co mixed oxides catalysts with a constant Co charge and different Ce/Zr ratios was investigated. The Ce-Zr-Co mixed oxides were obtained by the pseudo sol-gel like method, based on metallic propionates polymerization and thermal decomposition, whereas the gold-supported Ce-Zr-Co ...

The interaction between active element Zr and W damages the W fibers and the interface and decreases the mechanical properties, especially the tensile strength of the W fibers reinforced Zr-based bulk metallic glass composites (BMGCs). From the viewpoint of atomic interaction, the W-Zr interaction can be restrained by adding minor elements that have stronger interaction with W into the alloy. T...

The structure of the title compound, [Zr(C(5)H(5))(2)(C(9)H(11)Te)(2)], consists of a zirconium(IV) centre bonded to two η(5)-coord-inated cyclo-penta-dienyl groups and two mesityltellurolate ligands; the discrete mol-ecule has crystallographic twofold rotation symmetry. The structural parameters compared with those in [(η(5)-Me(5)Cp)(2)Zr(TePh)(2)] [Howard, Trnka & Parkin (1995 ▶). Inorg. Chem...

A new metal borohydride ammoniate (MBA), Zr(BH4)4·8NH3, was synthesized via ammoniation of the Zr(BH4)4 crystal. Zr(BH4)4·8NH3 has a distinctive structure and the highest coordination number of NH3 groups among all the known MBAs. This compound could quickly dehydrogenate at 130 °C, enabling it a potential hydrogen storage material.

Introduction: It is well known that shergottites have a large variation of rare earth elements (REEs) abundance patterns and isotopic compositions. Jones [1] and Borg and Draper [2] suggest that light REEs (LREEs)-enriched shergottites resulted from mixing of a LREEs-enriched component with their parental magma. The LREEsenriched component is thought to be either Martian crust [1] or a KREEP-li...

PURPOSE HSP90 chaperones have key client proteins that are involved in all hallmarks of breast cancer growth and progression. The primary aim of this clinical trial was to evaluate the feasibility of using (89)Zr-trastuzumab PET (for HER2-positive breast cancer) or (89)Zr-bevacizumab PET [for estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer] to determine in vivo degradation of client proteins caus...

Zr/N co-doped TiO2 nanostructures were successfully synthesized using nanotubular titanic acid (NTA) as precursors by a facile wet chemical route and subsequent calcination. These Zr/N-doped TiO2 nanostructures made by NTA precursors show significantly enhanced visible light absorption and much higher photocatalytic performance than the Zr/N-doped P25 TiO2 nanoparticles. Impacts of Zr/N co-dopi...

A new series of titanium(IV) and zirconium(IV) amides have been prepared from the reaction between M(NMe(2))(4) (M = Ti, Zr) and chiral ligands, (R)-2,2'-bis(p-toluenesulfonylamino)-1,1'-binaphthyl (1H(2)), (R)-2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphinoylamino)-1,1'-binaphthyl (2H(2)), (R)-2,2'-bis(mesitoylamino)-1,1'-binaphthyl (3H(2)), (R)-5,5',6,6',7,7',8,8'-octahydro-2,2'-bis(pyrrol-2-ylmethyleneamino)-1,1...

X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) depends on stereochemical features of coordination polyhedra around probe atoms. K-edge XANES of Y and Zr segregated in alumina grain boundaries has been obtained and analyzed using metallic Y and Zr, Y2O3, YAG, and monoclinic ZrO2 as standards. Grain-boundary-segregated Y and Zr show a positive chemical shift, and the magnitude of the shift, as comp...
