Reaction of a zinc/zirconium heterobimetallic complex with 1,5-cyclooctadiene (1,5-COD) results in slow isomerization to 1,3-cyclooctadiene (1,3-COD), along with the formation of a new complex that includes a cyclooctyne ligand bridging two metal centers. While analogous magnesium/zirconium and aluminum/zirconium heterobimetallic complexes are competent for the catalytic isomerization of 1,5-CO...

Treatment of tetrakis(diethylamido)zirconium(IV); [Zr(NEt2)4] with a series of β-ketoimines ({[RHN]C(CH3)=C(H)C(CH3)=O} where R is a functionalized side-chain; 4-(2-methoxyethylamino)pent-3-en-2-one, Hmeap; 4-(3-methoxypropylamino)pent-3-en-2-one, Hmpap; 4-(2-(dimethylamino)ethylamino)pent-3-en-2-one, Hdeap; 4-(3-(dimethylamino)propylamino)pent-3-en-2-one, Hdpap) leads to an amine substitution ...

Background: Some Particular areas contain natural radionuclide at levels much higher than those usually present in earth's crust. The radiological impact of the use of zirconium ore in zirconium industry is due to internal exposure of the lung by alpha particles and external exposure of the body by the gamma rays. The result of gamma spectrometry measurement of the concentrations of th...

The purpose of this paper is to explain the thermodynamical and shape memory behaviour in comparison with structural parameters for Zr-based intermetallics a new class of potential shape memory alloys (SMA) for high-temperature applications [I]. Electrical resistivity, structural, shape memory and calorimetric measurements were carried out for the Zr2CuNi Zr,CuCo quasibinary cross-section. It w...

The purpose of this study was to compare the fracture resistance and fracture mode of single implant-zirconium coping combinations using zirconium and titanium abutments and to analyze the stress distribution pattern using three-dimensional finite elements analysis. Twenty implants with titanium and zirconium abutments were randomly divided into two groups (n = 10) and into resin blocks. Zircon...

Aim: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate imaging artifacts induced by Titanium, Zirconium, Titanium-Zirconium abutments in CT, MRI and CBCT imaging modalities.Methods: A 4×8mm titanium fixture was inserted in a dry human mandible. Titanium, Zirconium and Titanium–Zirconium abutments measuring 10.5 mm in height are located on the fixture, one by one. Each abutment was scan...

The structure of solid zirconium tetrachloride is known from X-ray studies[l] to consist of extended chains of distorted octahedra with two bridging chlorine atoms between adjacent zirconium atoms. Although the unit cell possesses a center of symmetry, the two pairs of bridging chlorine atoms attached to a given zirconium atom are not trans to each other. The factor group symmetry thus is C2h w...

Cerium oxide cluster cations (Ce(m)O(n)(+), m = 2-16; n = 2m, 2m +/- 1 and 2m +/- 2) are prepared by laser ablation and reacted with carbon monoxide (CO) and small hydrocarbon molecules (CH(4), C(2)H(4), and C(2)H(6)) in a fast flow reactor. A time of flight mass spectrometer is used to detect the cluster distribution before and after the reactions. The observation of oxygen reduction and hydro...
