NaLiMO(CO) (M = W and Mo): An Alternative Electrolyte for High-Temperature Electrochemical Cells.

Two new acentric oxycarbonates NaLiMO(CO) (M = W and Mo) were synthesized via a conventional solid-state route. Their structure was determined from X-ray diffraction data on single crystals. NaLiMO(CO) (M = W and Mo) crystallizes in the acentric cubic -43 space group ( ≈ 7.

On the High Sensitivity of Corrosion Resistance of NiTi Stents with Respect to Inclusions: An Experimental Evidence.

In this study, the electrochemical breakdown potentials ( ) of NiTi stents were assessed in correlation to their nonmetallic inclusion fractions in the extra low inclusion (ELI) range (inclu.% < 1% in area fraction, average size <39 μm). Quantitative investigations were performed to study the role of nonmetallic inclusions during pitting corrosion.

Use of Ni electrodes chronoamperometry for improved diagnostics of diabetes and cardiac diseases.

Low DC active current through Nickel electrodes applied on skin in places like hands, forehead and feet provides a novel non invasive diagnostic tool using reverse iontophoresis. This work describes the electrochemistry reactions involved and some medical applications, such as diagnostics of neuropathy, diabetes and cardiac diseases. Finally we provide evidence for the utility of this method through large clinical studies.

Triarylpyridinium-functionalized terpyridyl ligand for photosensitized supramolecular architectures: intercomponent coupling and photoinduced processes.

The electronic (absorption spectra) and electrochemical properties of a novel series of triphenylpyridinium (H(3)TP(+)=A) electron-acceptor-based polyad species have been correlated with their steady-state (emission spectra) and time-resolved (ns and ps laser flash photolysis) photophysical behavior (at both 293 and 77 K). These d(6) transition metal complexes (M=Ru(II), Os(II)) of 2,2':6',2"-terpyridines (tpy) are denoted as P0 and P1, depending on whether they incorporate H(3)TP(+)-tpy or H(3)TP(+)-ptpy ligands (ptpy=4'-phenyl-substituted tpy), respectively. For the P0/Ru-based compounds, the luminescence quantum yield and excited-state lifetime of the "[Ru(tpy)(2)](2+)" chromophore have been found to be considerably enhanced at 293 K (e.
