The title mol-ecule, C(16)H(18)Se(2), features a diselenide bridge between two 4-methyl-benzyl units, in which the central C-Se-Se-C torsion angle is 88.1 (3)°, while the two Se-Se-C-C fragments assume gauche conformations, with torsion angles of -51.8 (5) and 59.1 (4)°. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 78.9 (2)°.

The title compound, NpCuSe(2), is the first ternary neptunium transition-metal chalcogenide. It was synthesized from the elements at 873 K in an evacuated fused-silica tube. Single crystals were grown by vapor transport with I(2). NpCuSe(2) crystallizes in the LaCuS(2) structure type and can be viewed as a stacking of layers of CuSe(4) tetra-hedra and of double layers of NpSe(7) monocapped trig...

Measurements of titanium diselenide differentiate between the material's optical phonons and charge-density-wave excitations, showing use tabletop extreme ultraviolet spectroscopy to probe dynamics.

Nanostructuring allows altering of the electronic and photonic properties two-dimensional (2D) materials. The efficiency, flexibility, convenience top-down lithography processes are however compromised by nm-scale edge roughness resolution variability issues, which especially affects performance 2D Here we study how dry anisotropic etching multilayer materials with sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) may...

The influence of Molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) as an interfacial layer between Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) absorber and (Mo) back contact in a conventional CIGS thin-film solar cell was investigated numerically using SCAPS-1D (a Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator). Using graded bandgap profile the that consist both grading (BG) front (FG), which is defined double (DG), attribution to variation Ga content...

In the title compound, C(14)H(12)Br(2)Se(2), the Se-Se bond length [2.3034 (9) Å] is similar to those in diphenyl diselenide [2.3066 (7) and 2.3073 (10) Å] and shorter than that in 1,8-diselenona-phthalene [2.0879 (8)Å]. The mol-ecule adopts a classical gauche conformation.

A chitosan resin functionalized with 3-nitro-4-amino benzoic acid moiety (CCTS-NABA resin) was newly synthesized for the collection/concentration of trace molybdenum by using cross-linked chitosan (CCTS) as base material. The carboxyl group of the moiety was chemically attached to amino group of cross-linked chitosan through amide bond formation. The adsorption behavior of molybdenum as well as...

The objectives of this study were to determine physiologic adaptations that occur when humans are exposed to a wide range of molybdenum intake levels and to identify the pathways that are influenced by dietary intake. Four males consumed each of 5 daily molybdenum intakes of 22, 72, 121, 467, and 1490 microg/d (0.23, 0.75, 1.3, 4.9, and 15.5 micromol/d) for 24 d each. During each treatment peri...

Bacteria with the ability to tolerate, remove, and/or degrade several xenobiotics simultaneously are urgently needed for remediation of polluted sites. A previously isolated bacterium with sodium dodecyl sulfate- (SDS-) degrading capacity was found to be able to reduce molybdenum to the nontoxic molybdenum blue. The optimal pH, carbon source, molybdate concentration, and temperature supporting ...
