In this work, we obtained polycalciumphenylsiloxane (PCPS) by the interaction of calcium bis (acetylacetonate) with polyphenylsiloxane. The first method consisted in boiling starting reagents toluene for several hours; second was as follows: mixture preliminarily treated mechanically a ball mill, followed hours. Two fractions, soluble and insoluble, were isolated both syntheses. They investigat...

Reaction of Dy(hfac)(3)·2H(2)O (hfac = hexafluoroacetyl acetonate) with 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)nitronyl nitroxide (NITPhOH) and 2-(5-bromo-2-hydroxyphenyl)nitronyl nitroxide (NIT5BrPhOH) yielded [Dy(2)(hfac)(4)(NITPhO)(2)] 1 and [Dy(2)(hfac)(4)(NIT5BrPhO)(2)] 2, respectively. These compounds are phenoxo-O bridged binuclear complexes with the radical unit of a ligand coordinated to a single Dy. The ...

A manganese(II) acetylacetonate complex has been immobilized to the metal-organic framework IRMOF-3 through a one-step post-synthetic route for the first time, providing an effective and recyclable heterogeneous catalyst for epoxidation of alkenes.

Monodispersed FePt nanoparticles are synthesized by reduction of iron(II) acetylacetonate and platinum(II) acetylacetonate with 1,2-hexadecanediol as the reducing reagent in the polyol process. As-prepared FePt nanoparticles are chemically disordered with fcc phase. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images show a self-assembled particle array with an average particle size of 3 nm and a sta...

FePt/iron oxide core/shell nanoparticles are synthesized by a two step polyol process with 1,2hexadecanediol as the reducing reagent. Monodispersed 2.6-nm FePt nanoparticles are first obtained by reduction of iron(III) acetylacetonate and platinum(II) acetylacetonate. These preformed FePt nanoparticles are then used as seeds and an iron oxide shell is formed in the second synthesis step. The ro...

Upon mixing of oxovanadium(IV) acetylacetonate, this complex caused an increase in the chemiluminescence (CL) of luminol in a reverse micellar medium of cetyltrimethylammonium chloride in chloroform-cyclohexane (6:5 vlv)-water (buffered with NaOH-Na2C03, pH 12.5) even in the absence of an oxidizing reagent such as hydrogen peroxide. In this CL process, the reaction of Luminol with the oxovanadi...

The structure of beryllium acetylacetonate, Be(acac)(2), was fully optimized at the B3LYP (using the 6-31G*, 6-311G*, and 6-311++G(3df,2p) basis sets), Hartree-Fock, and the Möller-Plesset (using the 6-31G* basis set) levels. The frequency and intensity of the vibrational bands of Be(acac)(2) and its 1,3,5-(13)C; 2,4-(13)C; 3-(2)H; 3-(2)H-2,4-(18)O derivatives were obtained at the B3LYP level u...
