The reaction of [Cp(Bn) Fe(η(5) -P5 )] (1) (Cp(Bn) =η(5) -C5 (CH2 Ph)5 ) with CuI selectively yields a novel spherical supramolecule (CH2 Cl2 )3.4 @[(Cp(Bn) FeP5 )12 {CuI}54 (MeCN)1.46 ] (2) showing a linkage of the scaffold atoms which is beyond the Fullerene topology. Its extended CuI framework reveals an outer diameter of 3.7 nm-a size that has not been reached before using five-fold symmetr...

In this work, we present a facile, low-cost, and effective approach to fabricate the UV photodetector with a CuI/ZnO double-shell nanostructure which was grown on common copper microwire. The enhanced performances of Cu/CuI/ZnO core/double-shell microwire photodetector resulted from the formation of heterojunction. Benefiting from the piezo-phototronic effect, the presentation of piezocharges c...

A new cyclometalated ruthenium complex, [Ru(6'-phenyl-4'-thiophen-2-yl-[2,2']bipyridinyl-4-carboxylic acid)(4,4',4''-tricarboxy- 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine)]Cl, for Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) is proposed. We have investigated the use of cuprous iodide (CuI) as an electrolyte additive, which in turn has shown photocurrent enhancements of more than 25% in our dye based cells. Using an ionic ...

Bacteria possess cytosolic proteins (Csp3s) capable of binding large quantities of copper and preventing toxicity. Crystal structures of a Csp3 plus increasing amounts of CuI provide atomic-level information about how a storage protein loads with metal ions. Many more sites are occupied than CuI equiv added, with binding by twelve central sites dominating. These can form [Cu4 (S-Cys)4 ] interme...

We describe the performance of UtahPOET on SemEval 2015 Task 14. UtahPOET is a cognitively inspired system designed to extract semantic content from general clinical texts. We find that our system performs much better on the context slot-filling aspects of Tasks 2A and 2B than the disorder CUI mapping of Tasks 1 and 2B or the body location CUI mapping of Task 2B. Our problems with CUI mapping s...

The Cu3O4 layer in Sr2Cu3O4Cl2 is a variant of the square CuO2 lattice of the high-temperature superconductors, in which the center of every second plaquette contains an extra Cu2+ ion. The ions that make up the conventional CuO2 network, called CuI, have CuI-CuI exchange energy ≈130meV, and order antiferromagnetically at about 380 K; the CuII-CuII exchange is only ≈10meV, and the CuII’s order ...

Layers of ethylene carbonate (EC) modified CuI/PVA polymer composites were prepared by growth of CuI nano-particles in an aqueous solution of PVA followed by casting at room temperature. The structural, thermal, optical, electrical and di-electrical characterization of polymer composites was investigated using different techniques. These investigations confirm the growth of CuI nano-particles a...

The electronic structures of dinuclear copper complexes of the general formula [GFA(CuX2)2], where X = Br or Cl and GFA denotes a redox-active bridging Guanidino-Functionalized Aromatic ligand, were analysed and compared. The diamagnetic complexes [GFA(CuBr2)2] can all be described as dinuclear CuI complexes with bridging GFA2+ dicationic ligand units exhibiting a [CuI-GFA2+-CuI] electronic str...
