Abstract
We present a time-resolved absorption study on the light-induced generation of reversible linkage NO isomers in single crystals of Na(2)[Fe(CN)(5)NO] x 2 H(2)O using laser pulses of 160 fs width. Using the pump wavelength lambda = 500 nm the singlet-singlet (1)A(1)-->(1)E excitation induces the NO r...

We report the synthesis of BiFeO(3) nanorods using a sonochemical technique. The nanorods had a diameter of 20-50 nm, a length of 100-500 nm and exhibit aspect ratios in the range of 5-10. However, after doping, the TEM images of Bi(0.9)Ba(0.1)Fe(0.9)Mn(0.1)O(3) and Bi(0.9)Ca(0.1)Fe(0.9)Cr(0.1)O(3)...

We investigated local structures of Sb species in synthetic Sb(V)-coprecipitated and -adsorbed ferrihydrite and goethite, which are common iron(III) oxyhydroxides in environment, at various Sb/Fe molar ratios by extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analyses. The EXAFS analyses showed tha...

It is demonstrated that this zeolite site for FeO(2+) indeed obeys the design principles for high reactivity of the FeO(2+) moiety proposed earlier: a ligand environment consisting of...
