Heterostructured Tin oxide-pillared tetratitanate with enhanced photocatalytic activity.

An effective active heterostructured photocatalyst of porous SnO(2)-pillared tetratitanate nanocomposite is synthesized by assembling tetratitanate nanosheets with SnO(2) nanoparticles via an exfoliation-restacking route. The nanocomposite was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscope, thermogravimetric analysis, UV-vis DRS, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and N(2) adsorption-desorption measurements. It was found that the pillared nanaocomposite is mesoporous with a gallery height of about 2 nm and a specific surface area of 154 m(2)/g.

Fe-doped and ZnO-pillared titanates as visible-light-driven photocatalysts.

Fe-doped cesium titanate was obtained by a solid state reaction with a mixture of Cs(2)CO(3), TiO(2), and Fe(2)O(3). ZnO-pillared doped titanate nanocomposite was successfully fabricated by exfoliating doped titanate and restacking its nanosheets with ZnO nanoparticles. The resulting nanocomposite was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, N(2) adsorption-desorption measurement, thermogravimetric analysis and UV-vis spectroscopy.

Preparation and electrical conductivity of polypyrrole/WS2 layered nanocomposites.

Lithium intercalated tungsten disulfide Li(x)WS(2) with x>1 was solvothermally obtained. It was revealed that Li(x)WS(2) can remain mostly unchanged under vacuum (about 4 kPa) for 5 days. The pH dependences of surface zeta potential for single molecular layers of WS(2) were determined, illustrating that its isoeletric point is approximately at pH 3.

Poly[propane-1,3-diammonium [tetra-micro3-oxo-hexaoxotrimolybdenum(VI)] dihydrate].

The crystal structure of the title compound, [(C(3)H(12)N(2))[Mo(3)O(10)].2H(2)O](n), is composed of [Mo(3)O(10)](2-) anionic chains, propane-1,3-diammonium cations and solvent water molecules. The [Mo(3)O(10)](2-) chain is constructed from edge-sharing MoO(6) octahedra.

Tris(ethylenediamine)zinc(II) molybdate(VI), [Zn(en)3][MoO4].

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Zn(C2H8N2)3][MoO4], is composed of [MoO4]2- anions and [Zn(en)3]2+ complex cations (en is ethylenediamine), both with symmetry 2, which are held together in a three-dimensional network via hydrogen-bonding interactions. The [Zn(en)3]2+ cations in the crystal structure exhibit two configurations, viz. Lambda(deltadeltadelta) and Delta(lambdalambdalambda), as a pair of enantiomers.

Synthesis, structure, and magnetism of a ferric 24-azametallacrown-8 complex.

A new pentadentate N-isobutyrylsalicylhydrazidate ligand (H(3)ibushz, C(11)H(14)N(2)O(3)) and a self-assembly synthesis of the first 24-azametallacrown-8, [Fe(8)(C(11)H(11)N(2)O(3))(8)(CH(3)OH)(8)].0.5CH(2)Cl(2).

Tetraaquacobalt(II) bis[vanadyl(IV) phosphate], [Co(H(2)O)(4)][VO(PO(4))](2).

The structure of [Co(H(2)O)(4)][VO(PO(4))](2) is composed of [VO(PO(4))] layers and interlayer tetrahydrated Co(2+) ions. Alternating VO(5) square pyramids and PO(4) tetrahedra share O-atom vertices, thus forming the vanadyl phosphate layers. Two vanadyl oxo groups from neighbouring layers are coordinated to each Co atom in a trans fashion, with Co-O distances of 2.

Layered (ethylenediamine-kappa2N,N')cobalt(II) molybdate(VI).

The structure of poly[[(ethylenediamine-kappa2N,N')cobalt(II)]-mu-tetraoxomolybdato(VI)], [Co(C(2)H(8)N(2))MoO(4)](n) or [CoMoO(4)(C(2)H(8)N(2))](n), is composed of puckered layers constructed from MoO(4) tetrahedra and CoN(2)O(4) octahedra, with the ethylenediamine ligand coordinated to the Co atom in a cis fashion. Each pair of cobalt sites forms a binuclear edge-sharing unit through a (Co(2)O(2)) interaction. The binuclear octahedral units are interconnected through the bridging MoO(4) tetrahedra into a layer structure.
