Treatment of (NH4)(2)WS4 with CuCl in the presence of PPh(3) in boiling pyridine produces W(mu-S)(4)Cu-2(PPh(3))(3) (VI), which can further react with excess PPh(3) to give W(mu-S)(4)Cu-2(PPh(3))(4) . py (VII).

DETERMINATION OF INITIATION VALUE OF MODE-I INTERLAMINAR FRACTURE-TOUGHNESS OF UNIDIRECTIONAL POLYMER COMPOSITES

The use of interlaminar fracture tests to measure the delamination resistance of unidirectional composite laminates is now widespread. However, because of the frequent occurrence of fiber bridging and multiple cracking during the tests, it leads to artificially high values of delamination resistance, which will not represent the behavior of the laminates. Initiation fracture from the crack starter, on the other hand, does not involve bridging, and should be more representative of the delamination resistance of the composite laminates. Since there is some uncertainty involved in determining the initiation value of delamination resistance in mode I tests in the literature, a power law of the form G(IC) = A.DELTA alpha(b) (where G(IC) is mode I interlaminar fracture toughness and DELTA alpha is delamination growth) is presented in this paper to determine initiation value of mode I interlaminar fracture toughness. It is found that initiation values of the mode I interlaminar fracture toughness, G(IC)(ini), can be defined as the G(IC) value at which 1 mm of delamination from the crack starter has occurred. Examples of initiation values determined by this method are given for both carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers.

MOSSBAUER-EFFECT STUDIES OF THE DIMER OF A BIMETALLIC EU-AL COMPLEX

Mossbauer spectra of the dimer of a bimetallic Eu-Al complex, [(CF3COO)3EuHAl(C2H5)2 . 2 THF]2 are measured at different temperatures (81 to 166 K) and some Mossbauer parameters, such as isomer shift, electric quadrupole splitting and asymmetric parameter, are derived from the experimental spectra. The Debye temperature of the compound determined by a Debye model is 128 K. The results indicate that europium in the organo-europium compound is trivalent and that a bridging hydrogen atom between two europium atoms exists in the dimer. The low Debye temperature implies that the weaker binding force between the europium atom and the lattice may be related to the structure and the chemical bonding in the organometallic compound of europium.

One of the three BTC ligands bridges neighbouring clusters into one-dimensional chains, which are further connected through a complex hydrogen-bonding scheme, forming a three-dimensional suprastructure. The title complex is isomorphous with the previously reported Co-II complex.

NCMAS系统熔体结构和动力学性质压力效应的分子动力学研究

Molecular dynamics simulations were used to study the pressure dependence of the structure and the dynamic properties of forsterite melt (Mg_2SiO_4), diopside melt (CaMgSi_2O_6), anorthite melt (CaAl_2Si_2O_8), jadite melt (NaAlSi_2O_6) and albite melt (NaAlSi3O8) from 0 GPa to 25 GPa at about 2000 K and the following conclusions have been reached. Firstly, the ratio of NBO to T (NBO and T denote the content of non-bridging oxygen and the total content of Si~(4+) and Al~(3+) respectively) is closely related to the pressure and the composition of the melts. It decreases monotonously in forsterite, diopside and anorthite melts while increases at the initial stage and then decreases in jadite and albite melts with increasing pressure. At a fixed pressure, the shear viscosity of the melts decreases with increasing NBO/T and the variation rate is almost 150 times higher in fully polymerized melts than that in de-polymerized melts in comparison with anorthite melts. Secondly, it is generally accepted that the formation of the Si and A1 will promote the diffusion of the network-forming ions. The hypothesis is frequently employed to explain the emergence of the maximum self-diffusion coefficient of the network-forming ions in fully polymerized melts. However, I detected that the pressure corresponding to the peak of the self-diffusion coefficient of the network-forming ions is lower than that corresponding to the maximum content of Si and A1, and that there exists an approximately linear relationship between the self-diffusion coefficient of the ions and the breaking frequency of the bonds under a given pressure, which is different from the present understanding about the mechanism of self-diffusion. Thirdly, the relationship between the self-diffusion coefficient of Si~(4+), Al~(3+) and O~(2-) and the shear viscosity of the melts evolves from the Stokes-Einstein equation and Sutherland-Einstein equation to the Eyring equation with increasing pressure. And the key to obtain self-diffusion coefficient from shear viscosity under difference pressures is to determine A. in the Eyring equation. For Si~(4+) and O~(2-), this could be done using the linear relationship between A, and NBO% in anorthite melts. However, this method is inapplicable in other kinds of melts.
