Two hydrated 5-azotetrazolyl salicylic acid (H3ASA) of [(H3ASA)·H2O] (1) and [(H3ASA)·4H2O] (2) and five H3ASA based dinuclear Ln(3+) complexes of {[Ln2(H1.5ASA)4(H2O)8]·6H2O} [Ln = Dy (3), Tb(4)], {[Gd2(H1.5ASA)4 (H2O)8]·5H2O} (5), {[Sm2(H1.5ASA)4(H2O)8]·6H2O} (6) and {[Eu4(H1.5ASA)8(H2O)18]·10H2O} (7) have been synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. In 1 and 2, the neutral H3ASA molecules show a trans-enol-E isomer but display two different dihedral angles. Complexes 3-7 exhibit three types of dinuclear structures in which the anionic ligands show two trans-enol-E/Z isomers. The photochromic and photoluminescent properties of 1, 3-7 and the magnetic properties for 3-7 were investigated.

X-ray diffraction method has been employed to calibrate the stress of 6082 aluminum alloy which has been widely used among modern industrial products. Based on elastic tensile conditions, by designing rod sample of uniform intensity calibration (RSUIC), the stress measurement by X-ray diffraction method has been verificated by using elastic tensile theory calculation method and electrometric method. The results show that the stress measured by the tensile stress theoretical calculation, electrometric method and X-ray diffraction method was in good accordance with each other. And the matching relation between the surface stress measured by X-ray diffraction and the internal stress is investigated. The research will lay a foundation for the application of iXRD stress instrument for nondestructive measuring the welding residual stress of aluminum alloy.
