Reported herein is the synthesis of the previously unknown [Ir(1,5-COD)(mu-H)](4) (where 1,5-COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene), from commercially available [Ir(1,5-COD)Cl](2) and LiBEt3H in the presence of excess 1,5-COD in 78% initial, and 55% recrystallized, yield plus its unequivocal characterization via single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy, electrospray/atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), and UV-vis, IR, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopies. The resultant product parallels-but the successful synthesis is different from, vide infra-that of the known and valuable Rh congener precatalyst and synthon, [Rh(1,5-COD)(mu-H)](4). Extensive characterization reveals that a black crystal of [Ir(1,5-COD)(mu-H)](4) is composed of a distorted tetrahedral, D-2d symmetry Ir-4 core with two long [2.90728(17) and 2.91138(17) angstrom] and four short Ir-Ir [2.78680 (12)-2.78798(12) angstrom] bond distances. One 1,5-COD and two edge-bridging hydrides are bound to each Ir atom; the Ir-H-Ir span the shorter Ir-Ir bond distances. XAFS provides excellent agreement with the XRD-obtained Ir-4-core structure, results which provide both considerable confidence in the XAFS methodology and set the stage for future XAFS in applications employing this Ir4H4 and related tetranuclear clusters. The [Ir(1,5-COD)(mu-H)](4) complex is of interest for at least five reasons, as detailed in the Conclusions section.

Synthesis and characterization of Na2GdOPO4 and Na2LaOPO4 Gonen, ZS; Kizilyalli, M; Pamuk, HO (2000-05-24) A new orthorhombic phase of previously reported orthorhombic Na2GdOPO4, sodium gadolinium oxyphosphate, was synthesized by solid state reactions starting with four different sets of chemicals at 1000 degrees C. The unit cell dimensions were calculated using its powder X-ray diffraction data and were found to be a = 14.709(6), b = 10.661(4) and c = 13.081(6) Angstrom and the space group is probably Pmm2 (No: 25). its monoclinic form was also obtained by further heating the orthorhombic phase at 1000 degrees ...
Synthesis, characterization and electrochromic properties of copolymer of 3-{[4-(thien-3-yl-methoxy)phenoxy]methyl} thiophene with thiophene Erden, Ayca; Sahin, Elif; Gullu, Mustafa; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Elsevier BV, 2006-08-01) (3- {[4-(Thien-3-yl-methoxy)phenoxy]methyl} thiophene) (TMPMT) was synthesized via the reaction of 3-bromomethyl-thiophene with hydroquinone and characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Electrochemical copolymerization of TMPMT with thiophene in acetonitrile/boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (AN/BFEE) solvent mixture was achieved using tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate (TBAFB) as the supporting electrolyte. Resulting copolymer was characterize...
Synthesis and polymerization of 2-and 3-substituted thiophene derivatives linked by polyether bridges Tirkeş, Süha; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar (Elsevier BV, 2004-11-15) New compounds consisting of 2- and 3-thienyl units linked by polyether bridges have been synthesized and their electrochemical polymerization was performed via constant potential electrolysis (CPE) in an electrolytic solution containing 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (TBAPF(6)) dissolved in CH3CN. 2-Thienyl monomers (I and II), but not 3-thienyl monomers (III and IV), were also polymerized via chemical oxidation, which yielded broken pi-conjugated polymer products. The polymers were characteri...
Synthesis of a regular polymer containing pseudo-polyether cages Cihaner, A; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar (Elsevier BV, 2005-04-20) A new compound consisting of 2-thienyl units linked by polyether bridge has been synthesized and its electrochemical polymerization was performed via constant potential electrolysis (CPE) in an electrolytic solution containing 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (TBAPF(6)) dissolved in CH3CN. Chemical polymerization was carried out using FeCl3 as oxidizing agent. It is found that both methods gave the same polymer product without any cleavage of the polyether bridge between thiophene (Th) rings. Al...
Preparation and thermal characterization of poly(2-vinylpyridine) copolymers coordinated to Cr nanoparticles Öztürk, Yurdagül; Kayran, Ceyhan; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2015-06-01) In this study, polystyrene-block-poly(2-vinylpyridine), PS-b-P2VP, polyisoprene-block-poly(2-vinylpyridne), PI-b-P2VP and poly(methyl metacrylate)-block-poly(2-vinylpyridine), PMMA-b-P2VP, coordinated to Cr metal were synthesized and characterized by Fourier transform infrared, transmission electron microscopy and direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry techniques. Both thermal degradation mechanism and thermal stability of P2VP blocks were affected by the coordination of Cr nanoparticles to nitrogen of pyridine...
