Article Abstract

We have measured the infrared spectrum of H2O.HO in argon matrices at 11.5 +/- 0.5 K. We have also calculated the vibrational frequencies and intensities of the H2O.HO complex. As a result of these measurements and calculations, we have assigned a previously unassigned absorption band at 3442.1 cm-1 to the OH stretch in the radical complexed to the water molecule. This absorption originates from a complex that is situated in a different site within the argon matrix to those absorptions already assigned to this vibration at 3452.2 and 3428.0 cm-1. We observe a decrease in intensity of the OH radical stretching vibration of the H2O.HO complex upon isotopic substitution of D for H that agrees well with our calculations.

Rapid Removal of Azo Cationic Dyes Using a Cu(II) Hydrogen-Π-Bonded Organic Framework and Its Derived Oxide: A Combined Adsorption and Photocatalysis Study.

Langmuir

Azo dyes, prevalent in various industries, including textile dyeing, food, and cosmetics, pose significant environmental and health risks due to their chemical stability and toxicity. This study introduces the synthesis and application of a copper hydrogen-π-bonded benzoate framework (Cu-HBF) and its derived marigold flower-like copper oxide (MFL-CuO) in a synergetic adsorption-photocatalytic process for efficiently removing cationic azo dyes from water, specifically crystal violet (CV), methylene blue (MB), and rhodamine B (RhB). The Cu-HBF, previously available only in single crystal form, is prepared here as a crystalline powder for the first time, using a low-cost and facile procedure, allowing its application as an adsorbent and also serving as a precursor for synthesizing well-structured copper oxide (MFL-CuO).

This study aimed to measure the absolute and relative differences in the recommended practice of leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) of Brazilian men and women between 2010 and 2019. The sample consisted of 512,968 subjects from ten cross-sectional telephone surveys carried out in the 27 Brazilian capitals. The gap in the prevalence of LTPA practice between genders was calculated by measures of absolute inequality, calculated in percentage points, and relative inequality, calculated by the adjusted prevalence ratio (PR), with a trend analyzed by the Joinpoint regression method, obtaining the annual percentage change (APC).

Imaging Valence Electron Rearrangement in a Chemical Reaction Using Hard X-Ray Scattering.

We have observed the signatures of valence electron rearrangement in photoexcited ammonia using ultrafast hard x-ray scattering. Time-resolved x-ray scattering is a powerful tool for imaging structural dynamics in molecules because of the strong scattering from the core electrons localized near each nucleus. Such core-electron contributions generally dominate the differential scattering signal, masking any signatures of rearrangement in the chemically important valence electrons.
