The ?-polymorph of uranium phosphide selenide.

ABSTRACT: ?-UPSe was synthesized from the reaction of U(2)Se(3), P and Se in a CsCl flux in a fused-silica tube. It crystallizes with four formula units in the tetra-gonal space group I4/mmm in the UGeTe structure type. The asymmetric unit comprises one U (site symmetry 4mm), one Se (4mm), and one P (mmm.) atom. The U atom is coordinated in a monocapped square-anti-prismatic arrangement, where the square face is formed by P atoms and the other five vertices are Se atoms. The P site is disordered about a mirror plane, showing half-ocupancy for each of the two resulting P atoms. The title structure is related to that of ?-UPSe, which crystallizes with two formula units in the tetra-gonal space group P4/nmm in the PbFCl structure type.

Enhanced hydrogen evolution reaction on hybrids of cobalt phosphide and molybdenum phosphide.

Project description:Production of hydrogen from water electrolysis has stimulated the search of sustainable electrocatalysts as possible alternatives. Recently, cobalt phosphide (CoP) and molybdenum phosphide (MoP) received great attention owing to their superior catalytic activity and stability towards the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) which rivals platinum catalysts. In this study, we synthesize and study a series of catalysts based on hybrids of CoP and MoP with different Co/Mo ratio. The HER activity shows a volcano shape and reaches a maximum for Co/Mo = 1. Tafel analysis indicates a change in the dominating step of Volmer-Hyrovský mechanism. Interestingly, X-ray diffraction patterns confirmed a major ternary interstitial hexagonal CoMoP2 crystal phase is formed which enhances the electrochemical activity.

Crystal structure of a trigonal polymorph of aqua-dioxidobis(pentane-2,4-dionato-κ2 O,O')uranium(VI).

Project description:The title compound, [UO2(acac)2(H2O)] consists of a uran-yl(VI) unit ([O=U=O]2+) coordinated to two monoanionic acetyl-acetonate (acac, C5H7O2) ligands and one water mol-ecule. The asymmetric unit includes a one-half of a uranium atom, one oxido ion, one-half of a water mol-ecule and one acac ligand. The coordination about the uranium atom is distorted penta-gonal-bipyramidal. The acac ligands and Ow atom comprise the equatorial plane, while the uranyl O atoms occupy the axial positions. Inter-molecular hydrogen bonding between complexes results in the formation of two-dimensional hexa-gonal void channels along the c-axis direction with a diameter of 6.7 Å. The monoclinic (P21/c space group) polymorph was reported by Alcock & Flanders [(1987). Acta Cryst. C43, 1480-1483].

Phosphide delivery to a cyclotrisilene.

Project description:The reactivity of the 2-phosphaethynolate anion (PCO(-)) towards a cyclic trisilene (cSi3(Tip)4) is reported. The result is the net activation of the P-C and Si-Si multiple bonds of the precursors affording a heteroatomic bicyclo[1.1.1]pentan-2-one analogue ([P(CO)Si3(Tip)4](-); 1). This reaction can be interpreted as the formal addition of a phosphide and a carbonyl across the Si-Si double bond. Photolytic decarbonylation of 1 results in the incorporation of the phosphide vertex into the cyclotrisilene scaffold, yielding a congener of the cyclobutene anion with considerable allylic character.

PROGNOSTIC FACTORS IN ALUMINIUM PHOSPHIDE POISONING.

Project description:A prospective study was done on 12 consecutive cases of aluminium phosphide poisoning admitted to a zonal hospital in Punjab. Patients were in 18-36 years age group and mortality was more in females. The dose of aluminium phosphide was more in non-survivors and fresh tablets were more likely to cause fatality. Early vomitting and prompt initiation of treatment resulted in better outcome. Survivors responded to treatment early, but duration of shock had no predictive value. Shock and cardiac arrhythmias were present in all cases and extracardiac complications occurred more commonly in fatal group. With vigorous treatment of shock and other complications 33 per cent of the cases could be saved.

Efficient water reduction with gallium phosphide nanowires.

Project description:Photoelectrochemical hydrogen production from solar energy and water offers a clean and sustainable fuel option for the future. Planar III/V material systems have shown the highest efficiencies, but are expensive. By moving to the nanowire regime the demand on material quantity is reduced, and new materials can be uncovered, such as wurtzite gallium phosphide, featuring a direct bandgap. This is one of the few materials combining large solar light absorption and (close to) ideal band-edge positions for full water splitting. Here we report the photoelectrochemical reduction of water, on a p-type wurtzite gallium phosphide nanowire photocathode. By modifying geometry to reduce electrical resistance and enhance optical absorption, and modifying the surface with a multistep platinum deposition, high current densities and open circuit potentials were achieved. Our results demonstrate the capabilities of this material, even when used in such low quantities, as in nanowires.

Copper selenide nanocrystals for photothermal therapy.

Project description:Ligand-stabilized copper selenide (Cu(2-x)Se) nanocrystals, approximately 16 nm in diameter, were synthesized by a colloidal hot injection method and coated with amphiphilic polymer. The nanocrystals readily disperse in water and exhibit strong near-infrared (NIR) optical absorption with a high molar extinction coefficient of 7.7 × 10(7) cm(-1) M(-1) at 980 nm. When excited with 800 nm light, the Cu(2-x)Se nanocrystals produce significant photothermal heating with a photothermal transduction efficiency of 22%, comparable to nanorods and nanoshells of gold (Au). In vitro photothermal heating of Cu(2-x)Se nanocrystals in the presence of human colorectal cancer cell (HCT-116) led to cell destruction after 5 min of laser irradiation at 33 W/cm(2), demonstrating the viabilitiy of Cu(2-x)Se nanocrystals for photothermal therapy applications.

Direct band gap wurtzite gallium phosphide nanowires.

Project description:The main challenge for light-emitting diodes is to increase the efficiency in the green part of the spectrum. Gallium phosphide (GaP) with the normal cubic crystal structure has an indirect band gap, which severely limits the green emission efficiency. Band structure calculations have predicted a direct band gap for wurtzite GaP. Here, we report the fabrication of GaP nanowires with pure hexagonal crystal structure and demonstrate the direct nature of the band gap. We observe strong photoluminescence at a wavelength of 594 nm with short lifetime, typical for a direct band gap. Furthermore, by incorporation of aluminum or arsenic in the GaP nanowires, the emitted wavelength is tuned across an important range of the visible light spectrum (555-690 nm). This approach of crystal structure engineering enables new pathways to tailor materials properties enhancing the functionality.

Stable polymorph of morphine.

Project description:In the stable polymorph of the title compound, C17H19NO3 [systematic name: (5?,6?)-7,8-didehydro-4,5-ep-oxy-17-methyl-morphinan-3,6-diol], the mol-ecular conformation is in agreement with the characteristics of previously reported morphine forms. The molecule displays the typical T-shape and its piperidine ring adopts a slightly distorted chair conformation. Inter-molecular O-H?O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into helical chains parallel to the b axis. Intra-molecular O-H?O hydrogen bonds are also observed.
