Crystal structure diversity in the bis hydrotris-(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate iodouranium(III) complex: from neutral to cationic forms

Marinella Mazzanti

The iodouranium(iii) complex with two hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl) borate ligands is shown to adopt three closely related forms in the solid state. In addition to the previously reported structure for [U(TpMe2) 2I], in which one of the pyrazolyl rings ...

Chemistry of Doped Colloidal Nanocrystals

Raffaella Buonsanti

Review. Synthetic control over inorg. nanocrystals has made dramatic strides so that a great no. of binary and a few ternary or more complex compds. can now be prepd. with good control over size and phys. properties. Recently, chemists have tackled the lon ...

Morphological Computation and Morphological Control: Steps Toward a Formal Theory and Applications

John Richard Walker

Morphological computation can be loosely defined as the exploitation of the shape, material properties, and physical dynamics of a physical system to improve the efficiency of a computation. Morphological control is the application of morphological computi ...

Is Y-2(B12H12)(3) the main intermediate in the decomposition process of Y(BH4)(3)?

Dodecaborates, i.e. the [B12H12]2- containing species, are often observed as main intermediates in the hydrogen sorption cycle of metal borohydrides, hindering rehydrogenation. In the decomposition process of Y(BH4)3, yttrium octahydrotriborate, i.e. Y(B3H ...

A versatile precursor for non-aqueous neptunyl(V) chemistry

Marinella Mazzanti

The polymeric complex [(NpO2Py5)(KI 2Py2)]n is prepared from dry "NpO 2Cl" by anion exchange with potassium iodide in pyridine affording the first convenient starting material for the development of NpO 2+ coordination chemistry in anhydrous organic media. ...

Curling instability induced by swelling

Matthieu Wyart

We study the spontaneous curving observed when a strip of tracing paper is deposited on a water surface. The differential swelling across the ribbon thickness leads to a curling of the sheet, with the curvature increasing to a maximum and then relaxing as ...
