The hexagonal solid solution La2W1 + xO6 + 3x (x ~ 0.11) and the rhombohedral low-temperature phase β-La2WO6 (La2W1 + xO6 + 3x (x = 0)) are synthesized by the methods of preliminary mechanical activation of oxides followed by high-temperature synthesis at 1400°С, 4 h. In addition, by using the method of crystallization from solution, a single crystal of the La2W1 + xO6 + 3x (x ~ 0.22) composition isostructural to La2W1 + xO6 + 3x (x ~ 0.11) is grown. Both solid solutions and the single crystal are studied by the methods of Raman spectroscopy, thermal analysis, and thermogravimetry. Their conductivity is studied by impedance spectroscopy in dry and humid air. The hexagonal single crystal La2W1 + xO6 + 3x (x ~ 0.22) demonstrates strong luminescence in the IR region, in contrast to the hexagonal ceramics La2W1 + xO6 + 3x (x ~ 0.11) and the β-La2WO6 ceramics with the rhombohedral structure. The polycrystalline La2W1 + xO6+3x (x ~ 0.11) ceramics is found to be more stable under redox conditions as compared with the single crystal. The conductivity of the hexagonal single crystal La2W1 + xO6 + 3x (x ~ 0.22) is of the oxygen-ionic nature and lower than the conductivity of ceramics La2W1 + xO6 + 3x (x ~ 0.11) due to its perfect structure. The contribution of the protonic component of conductivity is absent for both the hexagonal solid solution La2W1 + xO6 + 3x (x~ 0.11) and the single crystal La2W1 + xO6 + 3x (x ~ 0.22), their conductivity being of the purely ionic nature with the close values of activation energy (0.89 and 1.08 eV, respectively). The synthesized β-La2WO6 ceramics demonstrates a small contribution of the protonic conductivity in humid air equal to ~1 × 10–6 S/cm at 600°С, which is close to the conductivity of the earlier studied strontium-doped solid solution La1.96Sr0.04WO6 – δ based on β-La2WO6.

Сyclocondensation of phenyl, ortho-bromophenyl, para-phenylphenyl, para-methoxycarbonylphenyl, para-tolyl and para-methoxyphenyl boronic acid with curcumin in the presence of K3PO4 upon refluxing in 1,4-dioxane for 24 h leads to the formation of curcumin-based 2,2-diaryl-1,3,2-dioxaborines in good yields. The absorption-emission spectra of the synthesized fluorescent conjugates and 1,3,2-dioxaborine with para-biphenyl boronic substituent demonstrated the highest quantum yield. Among the compounds studied, conjugate curcumin with para-methoxycarbonylphenyl boronic substituent ...

Benzenoid hydrocarbons are structurally regular aromatic compounds, which makes them well suited for quantitative structure–property relationship (QSPR) studies. This study presents a QSPR analysis of nineteen benzenoid hydrocarbon species using degree-based topological co-indices. We developed a Python program to compute eleven degree-based topological co-indices from molecular graphs and evaluated their ability to explain variations in ...

In this work, we combine experimental characterization and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to elucidate the molecular mechanisms governing the impregnation of mefenamic acid (MFA) into nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) aerogels. NCC aerogels were impregnated with MFA in scCO2, and low-temperature nitrogen adsorption revealed a concentration-dependent decrease in surface area, pore volume, and pore size, with an ...

We derive the stress tensor of a flexible polymer solution within the Gaussian-chain self-consistent field theory (SCFT) without invoking the ground-state dominance (GSD) approximation. Starting from a covariant formulation of the single-chain partition function in a background metric, we obtain the symmetric stress tensor expressed through the full Edwards propagators. The result contains the local ...

Two new supramolecular halometalate hybrid complexes, (H2bpen){[MCl5](I2)} (M = Sb(III) (1) and Bi(III) (2); bpen – 1,2-Bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene, have been prepared. Despite very close similarity of the nature of cations, they reveal significant structural difference from the (H2bpe){[MCl5](I2)} (bpe – 1,2-bis(4-pyridil)ethane) reported earlier. We discuss these features, along with thermal stability, optical properties as well as Raman spectra ...

Data-driven discovery of sodium-ion cathodes is often limited by small data sets and the poor interpretability of graph neural networks (GNNs). Here, we developed Symbol_ETR, an interpretable framework combining symbolic regression with ensemble learning. By constructing explicit nonlinear descriptors, symbolic regression extra trees regression (Symbol_ETR) achieves a test R2 of 0.90 for average voltage prediction ...

The electric double layer (EDL) at a single-crystal metal surface is controlled not only by the electrolyte composition and the electrode potential, but also by the atomic structure of the surface itself. This makes the Ag(hkl)/NaF interface a stringent test for continuum theories of the EDL. In the third part of our series, we examine ...

A self-consistent statistical-mechanical theory of the Hall effect in electrolyte solutions is developed by extending the self-consistent Debye–Hückel–Onsager (SCDHO) framework to crossed electric and magnetic fields. The theory incorporates non-local ionic charge distributions via Slater-type form factors, regularizing the Coulomb interaction at short range, and accounts for dielectric friction through ion-specific coefficients, employing experimental values ...

We present two models with explicit long-range electrostatics in the form of Coulomb interactions. Both models include point charges depending on their local atomic environments, and the second model also conserves a total charge of an atomic system. We combine the proposed long-range models with the local moment tensor potential (MTP) and demonstrate that they ...

Density functional theory (DFT) is the workhorse of modern reactions and materials modeling. While the exact functional remains unknown, many approximations to it have been constructed either by hand-crafting functional forms to satisfy exact constraints or by machine learning. In this work, we show how both of these approaches can be fused to build both ...
