Treatment of titanium tetrachloride (2 equiv) with dimethyl diselenide or diethyl diselenide (1 equiv) in hexane at 0 degrees C, followed by crystallization at -20 degrees C, afforded (TiCl(4))(2)(Se(2)(CH(3))(2)) (78%) and (TiCl(4))(2)(Se(2)(CH(2)CH(3))(2)) (63%), respectively, as red and orange crystalline solids. (TiCl(4))(2)(Se(2)(CH(2)CH(3))(2)) is stable in solution and in the solid state at 23 degrees C, but (TiCl(4))(2)(Se(2)(CH(3))(2)) decomposes to TiCl(4)(Se(CH(3))(2))(2), gray selenium, and other products upon standing in hexane solution, in the solid state, or upon sublimation at 250 degrees C. Treatment of titanium tetrachloride with 2 equiv of dimethyl selenide or diethyl selenide in hexane at ambient temperature afforded a spectroscopically pure brick red solid of TiCl(4)(Se(CH(3))(2))(2) (96%) or TiCl(4)(Se(CH(2)CH(3))(2))(2) (96%), respectively. X-ray crystal structures of (TiCl(4))(2)(Se(2)(CH(2)CH(3))(2)), TiCl(4)(Se(CH(3))(2))(2), and TiCl(4)(Se(CH(2)CH(3))(2))(2) were determined to establish solid state nuclearities. (TiCl(4))(2)(Se(2)(CH(2)CH(3))(2)) crystallizes in the hexagonal space group P3(1)21 with a = 12.106(1) Å, c = 10.786(1) Å, V = 1368.8(4) Å(3), and Z = 3. TiCl(4)(Se(CH(3))(2))(2) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n with a = 8.175(1) Å, b = 13.051(1) Å, c = 16.871(3) Å, beta = 102.675(8) degrees, V = 1756.3(2) Å(3), and Z = 4. TiCl(4)(Se(CH(2)CH(3))(2))(2) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n with a = 6.404(4) Å, b = 16.376(7) Å, c = 13.058(8) Å, beta = 101.45(4) degrees, V = 1342(1) Å(3), and Z = 4. TiCl(4)(Se(CH(3))(2))(2) and TiCl(4)(Se(CH(2)CH(3))(2))(2) were evaluated as precursors to titanium diselenide films. TiCl(4)(Se(CH(3))(2))(2) was not a good precursor, but TiCl(4)(Se(CH(2)CH(3))(2))(2) afforded rose-bronze colored titanium diselenide films at substrate temperatures of 500-600 degrees C. The films were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Surprisingly, titanium diselenide films prepared from TiCl(4)(Se(CH(2)CH(3))(2))(2) are moisture sensitive and are apparently hydrolyzed by ambient moisture to titanium dioxide and hydrogen selenide. The relevance of the coordination chemistry to the development of precursors to titanium diselenide films is discussed.

Superconductivity often emerges as a dome around a quantum critical point (QCP) where long-range order is suppressed to zero temperature, mostly in magnetically ordered materials. However, the emergence of superconductivity at charge-order QCPs remains shrouded in mystery, despite its relevance to high-temperature superconductors and other exotic phases of matter. Here, we present resistance measurements proving that a dome of superconductivity surrounds the putative charge-density-wave QCP in pristine samples of titanium diselenide tuned with hydrostatic pressure.

Bacterial infection and delayed osseointegration are two major challenges for titanium-based orthopedic implants. In the present study, we developed a functionalized titanium implant Ti-M@A by immobilizing antimicrobial peptide (AMP) HHC36-loaded diselenide-bridged mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) on the surface, which showed good long-term and mechanical stability. The functionalized implants can realize the sustained release of AMP over 30 days and exhibit over 95.

Background: Pancreatic cancer remains among the most prevalent and aggressive forms of cancer. While immunotherapeutic treatment strategies have shown some promise in affected patients, the benefits of these interventions have been limited by insufficient tumor infiltration by activated T cells.
Results: Here, Titanium diselenide (TiSe) nanosheets were synthesized with good stability.

Two-dimensional (2D) ternary transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are of great research interest because their superior layer-dependent optical modulation properties. In this work, three different kinds of TMDC nanosheets, including hafnium diselenide (HfSe), titanium diselenide (TiSe) and zirconium diselenide (ZrSe), are prepared by liquid phase exfoliation (LPE) technique. The high-quality material properties of these TMDC nanosheets are confirmed by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis.

The photoelectrochemical biosensor based on double redox cycle amplification technology coupled with Tungsten diselenide and MXene-modified electrode was developed. Signal amplification technology is a commonly used method to improve the sensitivity. In this article, in the double redox cycle amplification method, p-aminophenol is used as the signal molecule, and squaric acid acts as a redox indicator.
