Magnetostructural J-correlations in complexes with tetrahedro-{Cu4} core
摘要:
A comprehensive analysis of structural and magnetic data for 41 tetrahedro-{Cu-4} complexes reveals that the exchange coupling constants (J(2) and J(4)) correlate with averaged structural parameters of which the most informative are the averaged Cu-O-Cu angles in the bases (beta) and walls (alpha) of the cubane structure. Using contemporary statistical programs, the cluster analysis, the principal component analysis, and the factor analysis bring information about the possible correlations of the magnetic and structural parameters and grouping of the parameters according to their similarity.

The silver(I) and copper(II)-imidazolium carboxylate coordination assemblies were derived from the reaction between corresponding carboxylic acid ligands and metal salts. These new metal derivatives depict a novel structural motif with variable chemical and thermal properties. These metal complexes act as potential catalysts in Ullmann coupling reactions. The imidazolium linker present in these complexes
Three novel amino acids based corrosion inhibitors namely 2-(3-(carboxymethyl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium-1-yl)acetate (AIZ-1), 2-(3-(1-carboxyethyl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium-1-yl)propanoate (AIZ-2) and 2-(3-(1-carboxy-2-phenylethyl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium-1-y1)-3-phenylpropanoate (AIZ-3) were synthesized by condensing glyoxal, formaldehyde and amino acids, and characterized. The corrosion inhibition performance of synthesized inhibitors was studied by electrochemical impedance (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) methods. Among the studied inhibitors, AIZ-3 showed the maximum inhibition efficiency (IE) of 96.08% at a concentration as low as 0.55 mM (200 ppm). The results of potentiodynamic study reveal that AIZ-1 acts as cathodic inhibitor while AIZ-2 and AIZ-3 act as mixed type inhibitors. The results of EIS studies showed that in the presence of inhibitors, polarization resistance increased and C-dI decreased due adsorption of inhibitors at the metal surface. The adsorption of AIZs on the mild steel surface followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The result of scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) supported the formation of inhibitors film on the metal surface. The quantum chemical parameters and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were used to study the reactivity and adsorption behavior of zwitterions. The results of the theoretical investigation and experimental studies well complimented each other. (C) 2017 Published by Elsevier B.V.
