Synthesis of new aminophosphine complexes and their catalytic activities in C-C coupling reactions

Rosario Scopelliti, Zhaofu Fei, Wee Han Ang

Two new aminophosphines, benzyl-N(Ph2P)(2) and 2-picolyl-N(Ph2P)(2), have been synthesized. Oxidation of the aminophosphines with either hydrogen peroxide, elemental sulfur and selenium gave the corresponding oxides, sulfides and selenides benzyl-N(Ph2P=E) ...

A New Sensitive Detection Scheme for Helium Nanodroplet Isolation Spectroscopy: Application to Benzene

Marcel Drabbels, Evgeniy Loginov, Andreas Braun

A new method is presented for recording excitation spectra of molecules embedded in helium nanodroplets. The method relies on the complete evaporation of the droplets following excitation of an dissolved molecule and the subsequent detection of the remaini ...

Structure and performance of a novel TiO2-phosphonate composite photocatalyst

Juan Kiwi

An innovative SiO2-PO43--TiO2 photocatalyst is presented which is able to bond TiO2 to Raschig rings (RR). Evidence for the formation on the catalyst surface of P = O stretching bands near 1200-1250 cm(-1) is presented by FTIR spectroscopy. The TiO2 Deguss ...

Tunable resonant cavity enhanced detectors using vertically actuated MEMS mirrors

Niels Quack

Highly sensitive photodetectors for the mid-infrared have recently been obtained by placing a photodiode inside a Fabry-Pérot cavity (Arnold et al 2005 Appl. Phys. Lett. 87 141103). These resonant cavity enhanced detectors (RCED) are sensitive at the res ...

Thermal stress relaxation in magnesium matrix composites studied by mechanical spectroscopy

Daniele Mari, Robert Schaller, Abu Salek Md. Fahim Chowdhury

Thermal stress relaxtion at the interfaces in magnesium matrix composite has been studied by mechanical spectroscopy. Two specimens were processed by a gas pressure infiltration method. In one sample, the metallic matrix was unidirectionally oriented with ...

Proton T-2 relaxation time of J-coupled cerebral metabolites in rat brain at 9.4T

Rolf Gruetter, Lijing Xin, Giulio Gambarota

Knowledge of proton T-2 relaxation time of metabolites is essential for proper quantitation of metabolite concentrations in localized proton spectroscopy, especially at moderate to long TEs. Although the T-2 relaxation time of singlets, such as that of cre ...

Autofluorescence detection of tumors in the human lung - spectroscopical measurements in situ, in an in vivo model and in vitro

Georges Wagnières, Tanja Gabrecht

To detect bronchial carcinoma by autofluorescence, we measured the spectra of tumor and normal tissue in situ, in an in vivo model and in vitro by fiber optic spectrometer and two-dimensional resolved microspectroscopy. The in situ measurements were perfor ...

Tempering effects on three martensitic carbon steels studied by mechanical spectroscopy

Daniele Mari, Robert Schaller

Tempering effects have been studied in three martensitic carbon steels by mechanical spectroscopy. The mechanical-loss spectra present a relaxation peak similar to the Snoek-Koster peak in ferrite. The peak amplitude decreases upon tempering, indicating a ...

Aerucyclamides A and B: Isolation and Synthesis of Toxic Ribosomal Heterocyclic Peptides from the Cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa PCC 7806

Cyril Portmann, Karl Gademann

Two new modified hexacyclopeptides, aerucyclamides A and B, were isolated from the toxic freshwater cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa PCC 7806. The constitution was assigned by spectroscopic methods, and the configuration determined by chemical degrada ...

High temperature mechanical loss spectrum of 3Y-TZP zirconia reinforced with carbon nanotubes or silicon carbide whiskers

Robert Schaller, Claudia Ionascu

High temperature plasticity of fine-grained ceramics (ZrO2, Al2O3, etc) is usually associated with a grain boundary sliding process. The aim of the present research is then to improve the high-temperature mechanical strength of polycrystalline zirconia (3Y ...
