While giant saturation magnetization has been observed in α″–Fe16N2, its magnetic anisotropy and structural stability leave room for improvement. Several recent studies have investigated the effect of substitution to improve properties and/or stability; among these, Fe with V or Cu shown promise. We thus compare such alloys some more detail using first-principles electronic-structure calculatio...

The crystal structure of one form halofuginone hydrobromide has been solved and refined using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data, optimized density functional theory techniques. Halofuginone crystallizes in space group P2 1 (#4) with a = 8.87398(13), b 14.25711(20), c 15.0153(3) Å, β 91.6867(15)°, V 1898.87(4) Å 3 , Z 4. consists alternating layers (parallel to the ab -plane) planar nonp...

Functionalization of ligated metal nanoclusters with versatile ligands is highly desired for wide applications. Lewis acids have shown promise in multiple realms such as self-assembly and catalysis, which may endow diverse functions. However, acid surface not been reported. Here, the functionalization a bimetallic nanocluster Au8Ag8(CCR)16 triarylborane (TAB) reported, exhibits enhanced acidit...
