To improve the electromagnetic characteristics of conductive nano fillers, carbon nanofibers (CNFs) with nickel-phosphorous (Ni-P) and nickeliron (Ni-Fe) have been fabricated by the electroless plating process. Observations by the electron microscopy (SEM/TEM) and element analyzer (EDS/ELLS) showed the uniform Ni-P and Ni-Fe coated CNFs. The compositions of the plating layers were about Ni-6wt%...

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Ni(C(6)H(6)N(4)S(2))(H(2)O)(4)][Ni(C(7)H(3)NO(4))(2)]·3H(2)O, consists of Ni(II) complex cations, Ni(II) complex anions and lattice water mol-ecules. The Ni(II) ions in both the complex cation and anion assume a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. O-H⋯O, N-H⋯O and C-H⋯S hydrogen bonds occur in the crystal structure.

We have demonstrated an extremely facile procedure for the preparation of 1D porous Ni@C nanostructures by pyrolysis of Ni-based coordination polymer nanorods. The highly aligned Ni-based polymer nanorods were prepared using nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) as a chelating agent by a one-step solvothermal approach. The obtained precursors are demonstrated to have a well-designed 1D nanostructure and ...

The nature of surface complexes formed on Ni uptake onto montmorillonite (a dioctahedral smectite) has been investigated over an extended time period by polarized extended X-ray absorption fine structure (P-EXAFS) spectroscopy. Self-supporting films of Ni-sorbed montmorillonite were prepared by contacting Ni and montmorillonite at pH 7.2, high ionic strength (0.3 M NaClO4), and low Ni concentra...

Two new end-to-end (EE) cyanate bridged 1D coordination polymers of Ni(II) are isolated which contain linear (180°) Ni-N-C and Ni-O-C angles in Ni-NCO-Ni bridges and show ferromagnetic (F) coupling in agreement with the reported theoretical model for linear EE bridges.

is called a covering system if every integer satisfies at least one of the congruences (1) . An old conjecture of P . Erdös states that for every integer a there is a covering system with n l = c. Selfridge and others settled this question for c < 8 . The general case is still unsettled and seems difficult . A system (1) is called disjoint if every integer satisfies at most one of the congruenc...

Au-Ge alloys are promising materials for high-power and high-frequency packaging, and Ni is frequently used as diffusion barriers. This study investigates interfacial reactions in Au-12Ge/Ni joints at 300 °C and 400 °C. For the reactions at 300 °C, typical interfacial morphology was observed and the diffusion path was (Au) + (Ge)/NiGe/Ni5Ge3/Ni. However, an interesting phenomenon--the formation...

The deprotonated Schiff base ligand in the title compound, [Ni(C(8)H(8)N(3)O(2)S)(C(18)H(15)P)]Cl, functions as an N,O,S-chelating anion to the phosphine-coordinated Ni atom, which exists in a distorted square-planar geometry. The hy-droxy group forms an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond. The two amino groups of the cation are hydrogen-bond donors to the chloride anion; the hydrogen bonds gen...
