Crystal Structures and Spectral Investigation of Aroylhydrazones and their Mixed Ligand Metal Chelates

Supra molecular architectures of coordination complexes of liydrazones through non covalent interactions have been explored. Molecular self—assernbly driven by weak interactions such as hydrogen— bonding, K '”T[, C-1-I‘ "TE, van der Waals interactions, and so forth are currently of tremendous research interest in the fields of molecule based materials. The directional properties of the hydrogembonding interaction associate discrete molecules into aggregate structures that are sufficiently stable to be considered as independent chemical species. Chemistry can borrow nature’s strategy to utilize hydrogen-bonding as Well as other noncovalent interactions as found in secondary and tertiary structures of proteins such as the double helix folding of DNA, hydrophobic selflorganization of phospholipids in cell membrane etc. In supramolecular chemistry hydrogen bonding plays an important role in forming a variety of architectures. Thus, the wise modulation and tuning of the complementary sites responsible for hydrogen—bond formation have led to its application in supramolecular electronics, host-guest chemistry, self-assembly of molecular capsules, nanotubes etc. The work presented in this thesis describes the synthesis and characterization of metal complexes derived from some substituted aroylhydrazones. The thesis is divided into seven chapters.

Crystal Structures and Spectral Aspects of Mixed Ligand Transition Metal Chelates Derived from Aldehyde based ONS Donor Thiosemicarbazones

Thiosemicarbazones have emerged as an important class of ligands over a period of time, for a variety of reasons, such as variable donor properties, structural diversity and biological applications. Interesting as the coordination chemistry may be, the driving force for the study of these ligands has undoubtedly been their biological properties and the majority of the 3000 or so publications on thiosemicarbazones since 2000 have alluded to this feature. Thiosemicarbazones with potential donor atoms in their structural skeleton fascinate coordination chemists with their versatile chelating behavior. The thiosemicarbazones of aromatic aldehydes and ketones form stable chelates with transition metal cations by utilizing both their sulfur and azomethine nitrogen as donor atoms. They have been shown to possess a diverse range of biological activities including anticancer, antitumor, antibacterial, antiviral, antimalarial and antifungal properties owing to their ability to diffuse through the semipermeable membrane of the cell lines. The enhanced effect may be attributed to the increased lipophilicity of the metal complexes compared to the ligand alone.

Studies on a syntax based approach for translation between structurally different languages and the development of a prototype for Malayalam to English translation

This thesis summarizes the results on the studies on a syntax based approach for translation between Malayalam, one of Dravidian languages and English and also on the development of the major modules in building a prototype machine translation system from Malayalam to English. The development of the system is a pioneering effort in Malayalam language unattempted by previous researchers. The computational models chosen for the system is first of its kind for Malayalam language. An in depth study has been carried out in the design of the computational models and data structures needed for different modules: morphological analyzer , a parser, a syntactic structure transfer module and target language sentence generator required for the prototype system. The generation of list of part of speech tags, chunk tags and the hierarchical dependencies among the chunks required for the translation process also has been done. In the development process, the major goals are: (a) accuracy of translation (b) speed and (c) space. Accuracy-wise, smart tools for handling transfer grammar and translation standards including equivalent words, expressions, phrases and styles in the target language are to be developed. The grammar should be optimized with a view to obtaining a single correct parse and hence a single translated output. Speed-wise, innovative use of corpus analysis, efficient parsing algorithm, design of efficient Data Structure and run-time frequency-based rearrangement of the grammar which substantially reduces the parsing and generation time are required. The space requirement also has to be minimised

Chemistry of molecular and supramolecular structures of vanadium(IV) and dioxygen-bridged V(V) complexes incorporating tridentate hydrazone ligands

Four hydrazone ligands: 2-benzoylpyridine benzoyl hydrazone (HBPB), di-2-pyridyl ketone nicotinoyl hydrazone (HDKN), quinoline-2-carbaldehyde benzoyl hydrazone (HQCB), and quinoline-2-carbaldehyde nicotinoyl hydrazone (HQCN) and four of their complexes with vanadyl salts have been synthesized and characterized. Single crystals of HBPB and complexes [VO(BPB)(l2-O)]2 (1) and [VO(DKN)(l2-O)]2 ½H2O (2) were isolated and characterized by X-ray crystallography. Each of the complexes exhibits a binuclear structure where two vanadium(V) atoms are bridged by two oxygen atoms to form distorted octahedral structures within cis-N2O4 donor sets. In most complexes, the uninegative anions function as tridentate ligands, coordinating through the pyridyl- and azomethine-nitrogen atoms and enolic oxygen whereas in complex [VO(HQCN)(SO4)]SO4 4H2O (4) the ligand is coordinated in the keto form. Complexes [VO(QCB)( OMe)] 1.5H2O (3) and 4 are found to be EPR active and showed well-resolved axial anisotropy with two sets of eight line pattern

The synthesis of high coercivity cobalt-in-carbon nanotube hybrid structures and their optical limiting properties

Magnetic heterostructures with carbon nanotubes having multiple functionalities are fascinating materials which can be manipulated by means of an external magnetic field. In this paper we report our investigations on the synthesis and optical limiting properties of pristine cobalt nanotubes and high coercivity cobalt-in-carbon nanotubes (a new nanosystem where carbon nanotubes are filled with cobalt nanotubes). A general mobility assisted growth mechanism for the formation of one-dimensional nanostructures inside nanopores is verified in the case of carbon nanotubes. The open-aperture z-scan technique is employed for the optical limiting measurements in which nanosecond laser pulses at 532 nm have been used for optical excitation. Compared to the benchmark pristine carbon nanotubes these materials show an enhanced nonlinear optical absorption, and the nonlinear optical parameters calculated from the data show that these materials are efficient optical limiters. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report where the optical limiting properties of metal nanotubes are compared to those of carbon nanotubes

Photoluminescence Studies Of Microwave Assisted Synthesized Zno Micro Structures

ZnO micro particles in the range 0.4-0.6 μm were synthesized by microwave irradiation method. The XRD analysis reveals that the sample is in the wurtzite phase with orientation along the (101) plane. SAED pattern of the sample reveals the single crystalline nature of the micro grains. TEM images show the formation of cylindrical shaped ZnO micro structures with hexagonal faces. The optical phonon modes were slightly shifted in the Raman spectrum,attributed to the presence of various crystalline defects and laser induced local heating at the grain boundaries. A broad transmission profile was observed in the FTIR spectrum from 1550-3400 cm-1 which falls in the atmospheric transparency window region. PL spectrum centered at 500 nm with a broad band in the region 420-570 nm comprised of different emission peaks attributed to transition between defect levels. Various emission levels in the sample were expliained with a band diagram

Corrosion Health Monitoring System for Steel Ship Structures

Corrosion represents one of the largest through life cost component of ships. Ship owners and operators recognize that combating corrosion significantly impacts the vessels’ reliability, availability and through life costs. Primary objective of this paper is to review various inspections, monitoring systems and life cycle management with respect to corrosion control of ships and to develop the concept of “Corrosion Health” (CH) which would quantify the extent of corrosion at any point of ships’ operational life. A system approach in which the ship structure is considered as a corrosion system and divided into several corrosion zones, with distinct characteristics, is presented. Various corrosion assessment criteria for assessment of corrosion condition are listed. A CH rating system for representation of complex corrosion condition with a numeric number along with recommendations for repair/maintenance action is also discussed

Performance Assessment of Sandwich Structures with Debonds and Dents

A sandwich construction is a special form of the laminated composite consisting of light weight core, sandwiched between two stiff thin face sheets. Due to high stiffness to weight ratio, sandwich construction is widely adopted in aerospace industries. As a process dependent bonded structure, the most severe defects associated with sandwich construction are debond (skin core bond failure) and dent (locally deformed skin associated with core crushing). Reasons for debond may be attributed to initial manufacturing flaws or in service loads and dent can be caused by tool drops or impacts by foreign objects. This paper presents an evaluation on the performance of honeycomb sandwich cantilever beam with the presence of debond or dent, using layered finite element models. Dent is idealized by accounting core crushing in the core thickness along with the eccentricity of the skin. Debond is idealized using multilaminate modeling at debond location with contact element between the laminates. Vibration and buckling behavior of metallic honeycomb sandwich beam with and without damage are carried out. Buckling load factor, natural frequency, mode shape and modal strain energy are evaluated using finite element package ANSYS 13.0. Study shows that debond affect the performance of the structure more severely than dent. Reduction in the fundamental frequencies due to the presence of dent or debond is not significant for the case considered. But the debond reduces the buckling load factor significantly. Dent of size 8-20% of core thickness shows 13% reduction in buckling load capacity of the sandwich column. But debond of the same size reduced the buckling load capacity by about 90%. This underscores the importance of detecting these damages in the initiation level itself to avoid catastrophic failures. Influence of the damages on fundamental frequencies, mode shape and modal strain energy are examined. Effectiveness of these parameters as a damage detection tool for sandwich structure is also assessed

Mn(II) complexes of some acylhydrazones with NNO donor sites: Syntheses, a spectroscopic view on their coordination possibilities and crystal structures

Mn(II) complexes derived from a set of acylhydrazones were synthesised and characterized by elemental analyzes, IR, UV–vis and X-band EPR spectral studies as well as conductivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements. In the reported complexes, the hydrazones exist either in the keto or enolate form, as evidenced by IR spectral data. Crystal structures of two complexes are well established using single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. In both of these complexes two equivalent monoanionic ligands are coordinated in a meridional fashion using cis pyridyl, trans azomethine nitrogen and cis enolate oxygen atoms positioned very nearly perpendicular to each other. EPR spectra in DMF solutions at 77 K show hyperfine sextets and in some of the complexes the low intensity forbidden lines lying between each of the two hyperfine lines are also observed

Syntheses, EPR spectral studies and crystal structures of manganese(II) complexes of neutral N,N donor bidentate Schiff bases and azide/thiocyanate as coligand

Four manganese(II) complexes Mn2(paa)2(N3)4 (1), [Mn(paa)2(NCS)2] 3/2H2O (2), Mn(papea)2(NCS)2 (3), [Mn(dpka)2(NCS)2] 1/2H2O(4) of three neutral N,N donor bidentate Schiff bases were synthesized and physico- chemically characterized by means of partial elemental analyses, electronic, infrared and EPR spectral studies. Compounds 3 and 4 were obtained as single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction. Compound 4 recrystallized as Mn(dpka)2(NCS)2. Both the compounds crystallized in the monoclinic space groups P21 for 3 and C2/c for 4. Manganese(II) is found to be in a distorted octahedral geometry in both the monomeric complexes with thiocyanate anion as a terminal ligand coordinating through the nitrogen atom. EPR spectra in DMF solutions at 77 K show hyperfine sextets with low intensity forbidden lines lying between each of the two main hyperfine lines and the zero field splitting parameters (D and E) were calculated.

Synthesis, Characterization and Applications of Hybrid Nanocomposites of TiO2 With Conducting Polymers

A nanocomposite is a multiphase solid material where one of the phases has one, two or three dimensions of less than 100 nanometers (nm), or structures having nano-scale repeat distances between the different phases that make up the material. In the broadest sense this definition can include porous media, colloids, gels and copolymers, but is more usually taken to mean the solid combination of a bulk matrix and nano-dimensional phase(s) differing in properties due to dissimilarities in structure and chemistry. The mechanical, electrical, thermal, optical, electrochemical, catalytic properties of the nanocomposite will differ markedly from that of the component materials. Size limits for these effects have been proposed, <5 nm for catalytic activity, <20 nm for making a hard magnetic material soft, <50 nm for refractive index changes, and <100 nm for achieving superparamagnetism, mechanical strengthening or restricting matrix dislocation movement. Conducting polymers have attracted much attention due to high electrical conductivity, ease of preparation, good environmental stability and wide variety of applications in light-emitting, biosensor chemical sensor, separation membrane and electronic devices. The most widely studied conducting polymers are polypyrrole, polyaniline, polythiophene etc. Conducting polymers provide tremendous scope for tuning of their electrical conductivity from semiconducting to metallic region by way of doping and are organic electro chromic materials with chemically active surface. But they are chemically very sensitive and have poor mechanical properties and thus possessing a processibility problem. Nanomaterial shows the presence of more sites for surface reactivity, they possess good mechanical properties and good dispersant too. Thus nanocomposites formed by combining conducting polymers and inorganic oxide nanoparticles possess the good properties of both the constituents and thus enhanced their utility. The properties of such type of nanocomposite are strongly depending on concentration of nanomaterials to be added. Conducting polymer composites is some suitable composition of a conducting polymer with one or more inorganic nanoparticles so that their desirable properties are combined successfully. The composites of core shell metal oxide particles-conducting polymer combine the electrical properties of the polymer shell and the magnetic, optical, electrical or catalytic characteristics of the metal oxide core, which could greatly widen their applicability in the fields of catalysis, electronics and optics. Moreover nanocomposite material composed of conducting polymers & oxides have open more field of application such as drug delivery, conductive paints, rechargeable batteries, toners in photocopying, smart windows, etc.The present work is mainly focussed on the synthesis, characterization and various application studies of conducting polymer modified TiO2 nanocomposites. The conclusions of the present work are outlined below, Mesoporous TiO2 was prepared by the cationic surfactant P123 assisted hydrothermal synthesis route and conducting polymer modified TiO2 nanocomposites were also prepared via the same technique. All the prepared systems show XRD pattern corresponding to anatase phase of TiO2, which means that there is no phase change occurring even after conducting polymer modification. Raman spectroscopy gives supporting evidence for the XRD results. It also confirms the incorporation of the polymer. The mesoporous nature and surface area of the prepared samples were analysed by N2 adsorption desorption studies and the mesoporous ordering can be confirmed by low angle XRD measurementThe morphology of the prepared samples was obtained from both SEM & TEM. The elemental analysis of the samples was performed by EDX analysisThe hybrid composite formation is confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopyAll the prepared samples have been used for the photocatalytic degradation of dyes, antibiotic, endocrine disruptors and some other organic pollutants. Photocatalytic antibacterial activity studies were also performed using the prepared systemsAll the prepared samples have been used for the photocatalytic degradation of dyes, antibiotic, endocrine disruptors and some other organic pollutants. Photocatalytic antibacterial activity studies were also performed using the prepared systems Polyaniline modified TiO2 nanocomposite systems were found to have good antibacterial activity. Thermal diffusivity studies of the polyaniline modified systems were carried out using thermal lens technique. It is observed that as the amount of polyaniline in the composite increases the thermal diffusivity also increases. The prepared systems can be used as an excellent coolant in various industrial purposes. Nonlinear optical properties (3rd order nonlinearity) of the polyaniline modified systems were studied using Z scan technique. The prepared materials can be used for optical limiting Applications. Lasing studies of polyaniline modified TiO2 systems were carried out and the studies reveal that TiO2 - Polyaniline composite is a potential dye laser gain medium.

Systematic multi-configuration calculations on structures and properties of complex atoms

Die relativistische Multikonfigurations Dirac-Fock (MCDF) Methode ist gegenwärtig eines der am häufigsten benutzten Verfahren zur Berechnung der elektronischen Struktur und der Eigenschaften freier Atome. In diesem Verfahren werden die Wellenfunktionen ausgewählter atomarer Zustände als eine Linearkombination von sogenannten Konfigurationszuständen (CSF - Configuration State Functions) konstruiert, die in einem Teilraum des N-Elektronen Hilbert-Raumes eine (Vielteilchen-)Basis aufspannen. Die konkrete Konstruktion dieser Basis entscheidet letzlich über die Güte der Wellenfunktionen, die üblicherweise mit Hilfe einer Variation des Erwartungswertes zum no-pair Dirac-Coulomb Hamiltonoperators gewonnen werden. Mit Hilfe von MCDF Wellenfunktionen können die dominanten relativistischen und Korrelationseffekte in freien Atomen allgemein recht gut erfaßt und verstanden werden. Außer der instantanen Coulombabstoßung zwischen allen Elektronenpaaren werden dabei auch die relativistischen Korrekturen zur Elektron-Elektron Wechselwirkung, d.h. die magnetischen und Retardierungsbeiträge in der Wechselwirkung der Elektronen untereinander, die Ankopplung der Elektronen an das Strahlungsfeld sowie der Einfluß eines ausgedehnten Kernmodells erfaßt. Im Vergleich mit früheren MCDF Rechnungen werden in den in dieser Arbeit diskutierten Fallstudien Wellenfunktionsentwicklungen verwendet, die um 1-2 Größenordnungen aufwendiger sind und daher systematische Untersuchungen inzwischen auch an Atomen mit offenen d- und f-Schalen erlauben. Eine spontane Emission oder Absorption von Photonen kann bei freien Atomen theoretisch am einfachsten mit Hilfe von Übergangswahrscheinlichkeiten erfaßt werden. Solche Daten werden heute in vielen Forschungsbereichen benötigt, wobei neben den traditionellen Gebieten der Fusionsforschung und Astrophysik zunehmend auch neue Forschungsrichtungen (z.B. Nanostrukturforschung und Röntgenlithographie) zunehmend ins Blickfeld rücken. Um die Zuverlässigkeit unserer theoretischen Vorhersagen zu erhöhen, wurde in dieser Arbeit insbesondere die Relaxation der gebundenen Elektronendichte, die rechentechnisch einen deutlich größeren Aufwand erfordert, detailliert untersucht. Eine Berücksichtigung dieser Relaxationseffekte führt oftmals auch zu einer deutlich besseren Übereinstimmung mit experimentellen Werten, insbesondere für dn=1 Übergänge sowie für schwache und Interkombinationslinien, die innerhalb einer Hauptschale (dn=0) vorkommen. Unsere in den vergangenen Jahren verbesserten Rechnungen zu den Wellenfunktionen und Übergangswahrscheinlichkeiten zeigen deutlich den Fortschritt bei der Behandlung komplexer Atome. Gleichzeitig kann dieses neue Herangehen künftig aber auch auf (i) kompliziertere Schalensstrukturen, (ii) die Untersuchung von Zwei-Elektronen-ein-Photon (TEOP) Übergängen sowie (iii) auf eine Reihe weiterer atomarer Eigenschaften übertragen werden, die bekanntermaßen empflindlich von der Relaxation der Elektronendichte abhängen. Dies sind bspw. Augerzerfälle, die atomare Photoionisation oder auch strahlende und dielektronische Rekombinationsprozesse, die theoretisch bisher nur selten überhaupt in der Dirac-Fock Näherung betrachtet wurden.

Smart electricity networks based on large integration of renewable sources and distributed generation

Das Grünbuch 2006 der Europäischen Kommission "Eine Europäische Strategie für nachhaltige, wettbewerbsfähige und sichere Energie" unterstreicht, dass Europa in ein neues Energie-Zeitalter eingetreten ist. Die vorrangigen Ziele europäischer Energiepolitik müssen Nachhaltigkeit, Wettbewerbsfähigkeit und Versorgungssicherheit sein, wobei sie eine zusammenhängende und logische Menge von Taktiken und Maßnahmen benötigt, um diese Ziele zu erreichen. Die Strommärkte und Verbundnetze Europas bilden das Kernstück unseres Energiesystems und müssen sich weiterentwickeln, um den neuen Anforderungen zu entsprechen. Die europäischen Stromnetze haben die lebenswichtigen Verbindungen zwischen Stromproduzenten und Verbrauchern mit großem Erfolg seit vielen Jahrzehnten gesichert. Die grundlegende Struktur dieser Netze ist entwickelt worden, um die Bedürfnisse großer, überwiegend auf Kohle aufgebauten Herstellungstechnologien zu befriedigen, die sich entfernt von den Verbraucherzentren befinden. Die Energieprobleme, denen Europa jetzt gegenübersteht, ändern die Stromerzeugungslandschaft in zwei Gesichtspunkten: die Notwendigkeit für saubere Kraftwerkstechnologien verbunden mit erheblich verbesserten Wirkungsgraden auf der Verbraucherseite wird es Kunden ermöglichen, mit den Netzen viel interaktiver zu arbeiten; andererseits müssen die zukünftigen europaweiten Stromnetze allen Verbrauchern eine höchst zuverlässige, preiswerte Energiezufuhr bereitstellen, wobei sowohl die Nutzung von großen zentralisierten Kraftwerken als auch kleineren lokalen Energiequellen überall in Europa ausgeschöpft werden müssen. In diesem Zusammenhang wird darauf hingewiesen, dass die Informationen, die in dieser Arbeit dargestellt werden, auf aktuellen Fragen mit großem Einfluss auf die gegenwärtigen technischen und wirtschaftspolitischen Diskussionen basieren. Der Autor hat während der letzten Jahre viele der hier vorgestellten Schlussfolgerungen und Empfehlungen mit Vertretern der Kraftwerksindustrie, Betreibern von Stromnetzen und Versorgungsbetrieben, Forschungsgremien und den Regulierungsstellen diskutiert. Die folgenden Absätze fassen die Hauptergebnisse zusammen: Diese Arbeit definiert das neue Konzept, das auf mehr verbraucherorientierten Netzen basiert, und untersucht die Notwendigkeiten sowie die Vorteile und die Hindernisse für den Übergang auf ein mögliches neues Modell für Europa: die intelligenten Stromnetze basierend auf starker Integration erneuerbarer Quellen und lokalen Kleinkraftwerken. Das neue Modell wird als eine grundlegende Änderung dargestellt, die sich deutlich auf Netzentwurf und -steuerung auswirken wird. Sie fordert ein europäisches Stromnetz mit den folgenden Merkmalen: – Flexibel: es erfüllt die Bedürfnisse der Kunden, indem es auf Änderungen und neue Forderungen eingehen kann – Zugänglich: es gestattet den Verbindungszugang aller Netzbenutzer besonders für erneuerbare Energiequellen und lokale Stromerzeugung mit hohem Wirkungsgrad sowie ohne oder mit niedrigen Kohlendioxidemissionen – Zuverlässig: es verbessert und garantiert die Sicherheit und Qualität der Versorgung mit den Forderungen des digitalen Zeitalters mit Reaktionsmöglichkeiten gegen Gefahren und Unsicherheiten – Wirtschaftlich: es garantiert höchste Wirtschaftlichkeit durch Innovation, effizientes Energiemanagement und liefert „gleiche Ausgangsbedingungen“ für Wettbewerb und Regulierung. Es beinhaltet die neuesten Technologien, um Erfolg zu gewährleisten, während es die Flexibilität behält, sich an weitere Entwicklungen anzupassen und fordert daher ein zuversichtliches Programm für Forschung, Entwicklung und Demonstration, das einen Kurs im Hinblick auf ein Stromversorgungsnetz entwirft, welches die Bedürfnisse der Zukunft Europas befriedigt: – Netztechnologien, die die Stromübertragung verbessern und Energieverluste verringern, werden die Effizienz der Versorgung erhöhen, während neue Leistungselektronik die Versorgungsqualität verbessern wird. Es wird ein Werkzeugkasten erprobter technischer Lösungen geschaffen werden, der schnell und wirtschaftlich eingesetzt werden kann, so dass bestehende Netze Stromeinleitungen von allen Energieressourcen aufnehmen können. – Fortschritte bei Simulationsprogrammen wird die Einführung innovativer Technologien in die praktische Anwendung zum Vorteil sowohl der Kunden als auch der Versorger stark unterstützen. Sie werden das erfolgreiche Anpassen neuer und alter Ausführungen der Netzkomponenten gewährleisten, um die Funktion von Automatisierungs- und Regelungsanordnungen zu garantieren. – Harmonisierung der ordnungspolitischen und kommerziellen Rahmen in Europa, um grenzüberschreitenden Handel von sowohl Energie als auch Netzdienstleistungen zu erleichtern; damit muss eine Vielzahl von Einsatzsituationen gewährleistet werden. Gemeinsame technische Normen und Protokolle müssen eingeführt werden, um offenen Zugang zu gewährleisten und den Einsatz der Ausrüstung eines jeden Herstellers zu ermöglichen. – Entwicklungen in Nachrichtentechnik, Mess- und Handelssystemen werden auf allen Ebenen neue Möglichkeiten eröffnen, auf Grund von Signalen des Marktes frühzeitig technische und kommerzielle Wirkungsgrade zu verbessern. Es wird Unternehmen ermöglichen, innovative Dienstvereinbarungen zu benutzen, um ihre Effizienz zu verbessern und ihre Angebote an Kunden zu vergrößern. Schließlich muss betont werden, dass für einen erfolgreichen Übergang zu einem zukünftigen nachhaltigen Energiesystem alle relevanten Beteiligten involviert werden müssen.
