The title samarium coordination polymer, [Sm(3)(C(8)H(7)O(2))(9)](n), was obtained by the hydro-thermal reaction of Sm(NO(3))(3) with 4-methyl-benzoic acid in alkaline aqueous solution. In the asymmetric unit, there are three crystallographically independent Sm(III) ions, two of which are eight-coordinate in a distorted square-anti-prismatic environment, while the third is nine-coordinate in a ...

In commercial point of view, it is of great interest to find colors with high color constancy level. Color constancy as a relatively property of object’s appearance could be affected by different factors. In this article, the color inconstancy index of CMCCON02 and CIELAB color coordinate of 1269 samples of Munsell at CIELchº color system to study any correlations, was calculated. The correspon...

Molecular orbital calculations at the HF/6-31G(d) level were carried out for polyboric acids and polyborate anions up to a pentamer to estimate their B-to-B isotopic reduced partition function ratios (RPFRs) and examine the additivity of logarithms of RPFRs. Approximate RPFR-values calculated by the use of the additivity agreed with exact RPFR-values within a margin of 1% error. This error was ...

We consider a brane generated by a scalar field domain wall configuration in 4+1 dimensions, interpolating, in most cases, between two vacua of the field. We study the cosmology of such a system in the cases where the effective four-dimensional brane metric is de Sitter or anti de Sitter, including a discussion of the bulk coordinate singularities present in the de-Sitter case. We demonstrate t...

The ligand substitution reaction of [Co(an)6]2+ (an = acetonitrile) with 1,1,3,3-tetramethylurea (TMU) in the noncoordinating solvent, nitromethane, was spectrophotometrically investigated by titration. The observed spectral changes were analyzed using a model with the four steps of ligand substitution. The component complexes involved in the substitution were found to be 6-coordinate [Co(an)6]...

In the title compound, [CuBr(2)(C(8)H(22)N(4))], the Cu(II) atom is six-coordinate forming a distorted octa-hedral complex and is bonded to two axial bromide anions and four equatorial nitro-gen donors. The equatorial Cu-N bond distances range from 2.005 (8) to 2.046 (8) Å while the axial Cu-Br distances are 2.8616 (17) and 2.9402 (17) Å, thus the six-coordinate Cu complex shows the usual Jahn-...

We show that the cosmological constant appears as a Lagrange multiplier if nature is described by a canonical noncommutative spacetime. It is thus an arbitrary parameter unrelated to the action and thus to vacuum fluctuations. The noncommutative algebra restricts general coordinate transformations to four-volume preserving non-commutative coordinate transformations. The noncommutative gravitati...

In unified field theories with more than four dimensions, the form of the equations of physics in spacetime depends in general on the choice of coordinates in higher dimensions. The reason is that the group of coordinate transformations in (say) five dimensions is broader than in spacetime. This kind of gauge dependence is illustrated by two examples: a cosmological model in general relativity ...
