A two-dimensional nanolayered polyoxomolybdate, [4,4´-H2bipy] [Mo7O22].H2O (1), where 4,4´-bipy = 4,4´-bipyridine, was prepared and characterized by FT-IR and atomic absorption spectroscopies, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray single crystal and powder diffraction (XRD), and thermogravimetric analysis. The catalytic performance of 1 was assessed in the epoxidation of some olefins em...

Heating a mixture of Nd(NO₃)₃·6H₂O, KCl, Q[10] and Q[5] in HCl for 10 min affords the inclusion complex {NdQ[5]K@Q[10](H₂O)₄}·4NO₃·20H₂O. The structure of the inclusion complex has been investigated by single crystal X-ray diffraction and by X-ray Photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

One new three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular longer-spanning azelaic acid (H2aze) complex: Ni(aze)(4,4′– bipy)(H2O) (4,4′-bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine) has been synthesized using hydrothermal conditions and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, UV spectrum, powder X-ray diffraction, TG analysis and single crystal X–ray diffraction. Structural analysis reveals that the title complex i...

A new tris-chelate Cd(II) complex, [Cd(DADMBTZ)3](ClO3)2 has been successfully synthesized and characterized by IR, 1H, 13C NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and single crystal X-ray determination. The thermal behavior, UV-Vis and fluorescence spectra of compound were studied. In reaction with DADMBTZ, Cadmium (II) forms a tris-chelate complex with nearly C3 symmetry for coordination polyhed...

Heating a mixture of Nd(NO3)3·6H2O, KCl, Q[10] and Q[5] in HCl for 10 min affords the inclusion complex {NdQ[5]K@Q[10](H2O)4}·4NO3·20H2O. The structure of the inclusion complex has been investigated by single crystal X-ray diffraction and by X-ray Photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

A nonlinear optical single crystal of L-histidinium 2-nitrobenzoate has been grown by slow evaporation method. The grown crystal was subjected to single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis to confirm that the crystal belongs to the monoclinic system. Dielectric studies reveal that both dielectric constant and dielectric loss decreases with increase in frequency at different temperatures. Some fu...

The large majority of three-dimensional structures of biological macromolecules have been determined by X-ray diffraction of crystalline samples. High-resolution structure determination crucially depends on the homogeneity of the protein crystal. Overall 'rocking' motion of molecules in the crystal is expected to influence diffraction quality, and such motion may therefore affect the process of...

In this paper, we report on the synthesis of Cu nanoparticles through a single-precursor route by controlling the growth temperature. Selective adsorption of oleylamine on various crystal planes may play an important role in the growth process. The understanding of this self-assembling process will help us develop reliable and reproducible methods to synthesis other three dimensional nanostruct...

The copper(II) complex [Cu(pic)2]·2H2O was synthesized with 2-picolinic acid (Hpic) and copper acetate as reactants by room temperature solid-solid reaction. The composition and structure of the complex was characterized by elemental analyses, single crystal X-ray diffraction, X-ray powder diffraction, FT-IR spectroscopy and thermogravimetry-differential scanning calor...
