The title compound, [Tl(C(2)H(6)OS)(6)](NO(3))(3), consists of six dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) mol-ecules coordinated to a Tl(III) atom, which lies on a axis, and three nitrate anions (3. symmetry) to neutralize the charge. The coordination polyhedron around the Tl(III) atom is octa-hedral, defined by six O atoms of the DMSO mol-ecules. In the crystal structure, C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed....

A new tetrakis(pyrazolyl)borate ligand bearing triphenylphosphine oxide moieties appended to the 3-position of the pyrazolyl rings is reported and shown to display varied coordination chemistry from tridentate N(2)O coordination with thallium to hexadentate N(3)O(3) coordination with europium.

Metal oxide gas sensors are predominant solid-state gas detecting devices for domestic, commercial and industrial applications, which have many advantages such as low cost, easy production, and compact size. However, the performance of such sensors is significantly influenced by the morphology and structure of sensing materials, resulting in a great obstacle for gas sensors based on bulk materi...

The valence state of thallium determines its toxicity, distribution and mobility. Tl(I) can be oxidized to Tl(III) under photoirradiation of the high-pressure mercury arc lamp and solar light. A photooxidation experiment of thallium showed that the photooxidation rate could be affected by the pH of the solution, and the intensity and wavelength of the light source. Lowering the pH and increasin...

Copper oxide nanostructures have been successfully synthesized via one-step solid-state thermolysis of two metal-organic frameworks, [Cu3(btc)2] (1) and [Cu(tpa).(dmf)] (2), (btc = benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate, tpa = therephtalic acid = 1,4-benzendicarboxylic acid and dmf = dimethyl formamide) under air atmosphere at 400,  500, and 600°C. It has also been found that the reaction temperature pla...

In this paper, we report on a simple, low-cost process to grow GaAs nanostructures of a few nm diameter and ∼50 nm height in Pyrex glass wafers. These nanostructures were grown by sequential plasma activation of GaAs and Pyrex glass surfaces using a low-temperature hybrid plasma bonding technology in air. Raman analyses of the activated surfaces show gallium oxide and arsenic oxide, as well as ...

in this work, for the first time, the rheological properties of nanofluids of lanthania nanoparticles (nps) in ethylene glycol (eg) as functions of shear rate, volume fraction, and temperature were measured. the results showed that both eg and the nanofluids behave as non-newtonian fluids at lower shear rates and transform to newtonian fluids at higher shear rates. the values of viscosity for b...

The indan skeleton is present in a variety of molecules with important biological activity, including the wellknown Indinavir and Aricept. Our research group has investigated approaches to obtain indans from 1,2dihydronaphthalenes, using a thallium(III)-promoted ring contraction reaction. During these studies, we found that a side chain at the double bond has a strong influence in the reaction ...
