Stabilizing Unusual Oxidation States of Lanthanides in Molecular Complexes: Synthesis, Properties, and Reactivity

The chemistry of divalent lanthanides has generated increasing interest in the past years due to their redox properties and unique reaction pathways. Notably, molecular complexes of low-valent lanthanides have been shown to be suitable one-electron reducta ...

Photo- and thermally-induced electronic and structural dynamics in perovskites and transition metal oxides

Oliviero Cannelli

In this thesis, we exploited optical and X-ray pump-probe methods in a synergistic approach to study the interplay of the electronic, spin and structural degrees of freedom in two class of complex systems relevant for solar energy conversion applications: ...

Promoting Persistent Superionic Conductivity in Sodium Monocarba-closo-dodecaborate NaCB11H12 via Confinement within Nanoporous Silica

Mirjana Dimitrievska

Superionic phases of bulk anhydrous salts based on large cluster-like polyhedral (carba)borate anions are generally stable only well above room temperature, rendering them unsuitable as solid-state electrolytes in energy-storage devices that typically oper ...

Characterization of untransformed ferrite in 10Cr and 12Cr ODS steels

Roland Logé

Two new ferrito-martensitic oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels reinforced with (Y, Ti, O) nanoparticles were elaborated using a high-energy attritor. The milled powder was consolidated by hot extrusion at 1050 degrees C. The two types of ODS steels ...

Identification of a Heteroleptic Pd6L6L′6 Coordination Cage by Screening of a Virtual Combinatorial Library

Kay Severin, Rosario Scopelliti, Sylvain Alexandre Marie Sudan, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Suzanne Maria Jansze, Rujin Li

The design of structurally defined heteroleptic coordination cages is a challenging task, and only few examples are known to date. Here we describe a selection approach that allowed the identification of a novel hexanuclear Pd cage containing two types of ...

Crystal Structures of AlCr2 and MoSi2: Same Structure Type vs. Different Bonding Pattern

Philip Johannes Walter Moll

In a joint effort utilizing modified sample preparation, microscopy, X-ray diffraction and micro-fabrication, it became possible to prepare single crystals of the "hidden" phase AlCr2. High-resolution X-ray diffraction analysis is described in detail for t ...

In-line electronic and structural characterization of reactively sputtered Cu-Co-Mn black spinel oxides

Andreas Schueler, Anna Krammer, Maxime Lagier

Cu-Co-Mn spinel oxide thin films are deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering. The x-ray diffraction (XRD) spectrum suggests a nanocrystalline spinel film when sputtered at approximate to 465 degrees C. In-line scanning tunneling microscopy confirms nano ...

Reduction of PdO/Al2O3 in Liquid Cyclohexane Followed In Situ by ATR-IR, High-Energy XRD, and XAS

Thibault Xavier Florian Fovanna, Oliver Kröcher, Davide Ferri

Supported Pd-based catalysts used in heterogeneously catalyzed liquid phase processes often undergo an activation step through reduction of the oxide phase or of the oxidic passivation layer prior to reaction. An oxidized Pd/Al2O3 catalyst was reduced by u ...

A Strategy to Conjugate Bioactive Fragments to Cytotoxic Diiron Bis(cyclopentadienyl) Complexes

Paul Joseph Dyson, Mouna Hadiji, Silvia Schoch, Sarah Alexandra Pais Pereira

A series of bioactive molecules were synthesized from the condensation of aspirin or chlorambucil with terminal alkynes bearing alcohol or amine substituents. Insertion of the resulting alkynes into the iron-carbyne bond of readily accessible diiron bis(cy ...

Coupled segregation mechanisms of Sc, Zr and Mn at theta ' interfaces enhances the strength and thermal stability of Al-Cu alloys

Baptiste Thomas Jean Rouxel, Lu Jiang

The refinement and thermal stability of intermediate theta-prime (theta') precipitates are critical in the development of new high strength 2xxx series aluminium-copper (Al-Cu) alloys for high temperature applications. In this work, we use trace additions ...

Synthesis, structural characterization, and coordination chemistry of imidazole-based alkylidene ketenes

Kay Severin, Rosario Scopelliti, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Paul Varava, Wolfram Feuerstein

Alkylidene ketenes typically display high intrinsic reactivity, impeding isolation on a preparative scale. Herein, we report the synthesis of alkylidene ketenes by reaction of imidazole-based diazoolefins with carbon monoxide. The good thermal stability of ...

Systematic investigations of uranium carbide composites oxidation from micro- to nano-scale: Application to waste disposal

Nhât-Tân Vuong

The production of radioisotope beams at the ISOLDE (Isotope Separator OnLine DEvice) facility at CERN is achieved by irradiating target materials (e.g. uranium carbides and metal foils) with protons. The materials are usually operated at temperatures above ...
