ABSTRACT:A ternary, scandium-phenylene-yttrium hybrid copolymer was synthesized by initially reacting 1,4-hydroquinone with scandium isopropoxide below À45 C followed by a second reaction with yttrium isopropoxide at room temperature. ESR spectral examinations and ab-initio calculations indicate that an electron transfer takes place initially from the phenylene group to the yttrium atom at a lower energy-level and then to the scandium atom at a higher energy-level, i.e. via two-step electron transportation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
