The effect of carbonyl complexation on highly exothermic vanadium oxidation reactions

The Ionization Potential of Si2N and Si2O

“…as opposed to, for example, an N−NO bond energy of 4.93 eV. Thus N 2 O much more easily gives up a nitrogen for the formation of Si 2 N and, in fact, the intensities observed for Si 2 N in this study considerably exceed those reported by Brugh. , The mass selected spectroscopy done in this study also ensures that both Si 2 N and Si 2 O product formation is monitored as the system is also sensitive to complex formation with these two molecules via the observation of metastable peaks in the TOF spectrum …”

“…A comparison of the mass spectra obtained under nonresonant ArF multiphoton excitation both with a helium-only expansion and with N 2 O (Figure ) reveals that AlO, SiO, and Si 2 N all increase when N 2 O is added to the system. AlO is formed due to the laser vaporization of aluminum from the walls of the expansion nozzle channel . This result suggests that N 2 O dissociates in the laser vaporization plasma, with the resulting components reacting with aluminum or silicon-based constituents in the system.…”

Tunable Three-Dimensional Magnetic Coordination Polymers

“…[2] Replacing V 2+ with later transition metal ions such as Mn 2+ or Fe 2+ may overcome this limitation, however, such substituted compounds have been found to be non-magnetic at room temperature. [3] Therefore, discovering a replacement for TCNE has become desirable for synthesizing useful, room temperature molecule-based magnets. The goal of this study was to find an acceptor starting material, which when paired with one of these later transition metals, would yield an air-stable, room temperature magnet.…”
