Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films have been successfully deposited on Ti–50.8 at.% Ni alloys using plasma based ion implantation (PBII) technique. The influence of the pulsed negative bias voltage applied to the substrate from 12 eV to 40 eV on the surface characteristics and corrosion resistant property as well as hemocompatibility has been investigated. The results show that the RMS values firs...

A rare homotrinuclear CuII salamo-based complex [Cu3(L)2(?-OAc)2(H2O)2]·2CHCl3·5H2O was prepared through the reaction of a non-symmetric ligand H2L and Cu(OAc)2·H2O, validated by elemental analyses, UV-Visible absorption, fluorescence infrared spectra, molecular simulation single-crystal X-ray analysis techniques. It is shown that three atoms two wholly deprotonated (L)2? moieties form together...

This paper describes structural elucidation of a layered conductive metal-organic framework (MOF) material Cu3(C6O6)2 by microcrystal electron diffraction with sub-angstrom precision. insight enables the first identification an unusual π-stacking interaction in MOF characterized extremely short (2.73 Å) close packing ligand arising from pancake bonding and ordered water clusters within pores. B...
