Here, we report such an example and following up by modifying the solvothermal reaction conditions (temperature and time) it is possible to isolate the high mass species in crystalline form. [Zn_(4)L_(4)Cl_(4)] (Zn_(4)L_(4), L = N-methylbenzimidazole-2-methanolate) has a boat-like Zn_(4)O_(4) core but electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) of the solution of its crystals shows higher mass peaks of Zn_(5)L_(5), Zn_(5)L_(6) and Zn_(6)L_(6) species. Thus, both disassembly and reassembly are highly probable processes. Consequently, [Zn(HL)_(2)Cl_(2)] (Zn1, L = N-methylbenzimidazole-2-methanolate), [Zn_(4)L_(6)Cl_(2)] (Zn_(4)L_(6), L = N-methylbenzimidazole-2-methanolate) and [Zn_(6)L_(6)Cl_(4)(CH_(3)O)_(2)] (Zn_(6)L_(6), L = N-methylbenzimidazole-2-methanolate) were prepared. The results of multistage ESI-MS of their dissolved crystals led to a proposed mechanism of their formation in the gas phase as follows: [Zn_(3)L_(4)] through [ZnL] → [ZnL(HL)] → [Zn(HL)_(2)] → [Zn_(2)L] → [Zn_(2)L_(2)] → [Zn_(2)L_(3)]. The mechanism was derived in conjunction with Gibbs free energies calculated using DFT of the fragments observed in the ESI-MS of Zn_(4)L_(4), Zn_(4)L_(6) and Zn_(6)L_(6). This work reveals the complex of chemical reactions, involving fragmentation and unexpected combination, under mass spectrometry condition which allows one to synthesize the observed transients, leading to mechanism of formation by correlation of solid-state/solution structural information.展开更多

Microstructure examination shows that the synthesized alloy has fine microstructure and contains Ni3Al, Al2O3, Ni3B and Cr3Ni2 phases. Moreover, the self-propagation high-temperature synthesis and extrusion lead to great deformation and recrystallization in the alloy, which helps to refine the microstructure and weaken the misorientation. In addition, the subsequent extrusion procedure redistributes the Al2O3 particles and eliminates the γ-Ni phase. Compared with the alloy synthesized without extrusion, the Ni3Al-0.5B-5Cr alloy fabricated by self-propagation high-temperature synthesis and extrusion has better room temperature mechanical properties, which should be ascribed to the microstructure evolution.展开更多

文摘Porous carbon microspheres are widely regarded as a superior CO_(2) adsorbent due to their exceptional efficiency and affordability.However,better adsorption performance is very attractive for porous carbon microspheres.And modification of the pore structure is one of the effective strategies.In this study,multi-cavity mesoporous carbon microspheres were successfully synthesized by the synergistic method of soft and hard templates,during which a phenolic resin with superior thermal stability was employed as the carbon precursor and a mixture of silica sol and F108 as the mesoporous template.Carbon microspheres with multi-cavity mesoporous structures were prepared,and all the samples showed highly even mesopores,with diameters around 12 nm.The diameter of these microspheres decreased from 396.8 nm to about 182.5 nm with the increase of silica sol.After CO_(2) activation,these novel carbon microspheres(APCF0.5-S1.75)demonstrated high specific surface area(983.3 m^(2)/g)and remarkable CO_(2) uptake of 4.93 mmol/g at 0℃ and1 bar.This could be attributed to the unique multi-cavity structure,which offers uniform mesoporous pore channels,minimal CO_(2) transport of and a greater number of active sites for CO_(2) adsorption.
文摘2-substituted-1-amino-o-carboranes 2-R-1-NH_(2)-o-C_(2)B_(10)H_(10)(R=CH_(3),1a;R=Ph,1b)were synthesized and the reactions of these compounds with the yttrium dialkyl complex[Y(L)(CH_(2)SiMe3)_(2)](L=[2-(2,5-Me_(2)C_(4)H_(2)N)C_(6)H4NC(Ph)=NDipp]-,Dipp=2,6-iPr_(2)C_(6)H_(3))were investigated.The 1H NMR spectroscopy indicate that the reaction of ytrrium dialkyl complex with one equivalent of 2-R-1-NH_(2)-o-C_(2)B_(10)H_(10) produce the mixture of ytrrium alkyl-amido complex[Y(L)(2-R-1-NH-o-C_(2)B_(10)H_(10))(CH_(2)SiMe3)](R=CH_(3),2a;R=Ph,2b)and bis(amido)complex[Y(L)(2-R-1-NH-o-C_(2)B_(10)H_(10))_(2)](R=CH_(3),3a;R=Ph,3b).The yttrium bridging imido complex[Y(L)(2-CH_(3)-1-N-o-C_(2)B_(10)H_(10))]_(2)(4a)was obtained by heating the mixture at 55℃for 12 h.Complex 3a was isolated and characterized by treating the yttrium dialkyl complex with two equivalents of 1a.The structures of complexes 3a and 4a were verified by single-crystal Xray diffraction.CCDC:2424136,3a;2424137,4a.
文摘In this paper,an image processing algorithm which is able to synthesize material textures of arbitrary shapes is proposed.The presented approach uses an arbitrary image to construct a structure layer of the material.The resulting structure layer is then used to constrain the material texture synthesis.The field of second-moment matrices is used to represent the structure layer.Many tests with various constraint images are conducted to ensure that the proposed approach accurately reproduces the visual aspects of the input material sample.The results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is able to accurately synthesize arbitrary-shaped material textures while respecting the local characteristics of the exemplar.This paves the way toward the synthesis of 3D material textures of arbitrary shapes from 2D material samples,which has a wide application range in virtual material design and materials characterization.

文摘Quasi one-dimensional polycrystalline samples of Ba_(3)Hf(Se_(1-x)Te_(x))_(5)(x=0-1)are synthesized under hightemperature and high-pressure conditions.Using the powder x-ray diffraction technique and first-principles calculations,Ba_(3)HfSe_(5)is identified as having a hexagonal structure with a space group of P63/mcm(193)and lattice constants of a=9.5756(1)A°,c=6.3802(7)A°.The structure is composed of Hf(Se1)6 chains and Se_(2)linear chains extending along the c-axis.As the doping content of Te increases,the lattice expands and leads to 5.8%and 7.3%increases of the a and c values and a 20.1%increase of the unit cell volume of Ba_(3)HfTe_(5)compared to Ba_(3)HfSe_(5).The detailed structural refinements show that the Hf vacancies decrease gradually as Te doping increases in the Ba_(3)Hf(Se_(1-x)Te_(x))_(5)(x=0-1)materials,which leads to a decrease of electronic localization.In addition,the lower electronegativity of Te and the more extended orbitals with respect to Se contribute to orbital overlap between the inter chains.All these dominate the enhanced electron hopping,leading to a reduction of the bandgap from 1.95 eV to 0.23 eV for Ba_(3)Hf(Se_(1-x)Te_(x))_(5)(x=0-1)materials as the Ba_(3)HfSe_(5)evolves to Ba_(3)HfTe_(5).

文摘Electrocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide(CO_(2))offers an effective method of CO_(2)fixation to mitigate global warming and the energy crisis.However,for supported Ni single-atom catalysts(SACs),which are among the most promising candidates for this application,the relationship between Ni coordination structure and catalytic properties is still under strong debate.Here,we fabricated a series of Ni SACs through precise-engineering of anchor sites on nitrogen-doped carbon(NC)followed by Ni atom anchoring using atomic layer deposition.Among them,a Ni_(1)/NC SAC,with a coordination number(CN)of four but less pyridinic nitrogen(N_(pyri)),achieved over 90%faradaic efϐiciency for CO at potentials from-0.7 to-1.0 V and a mass activity of 6.5 A/mgNi at-0.78 V along with high stability,outperforming other Ni SACs with lower CN and more N_(pyri).Theoretical calculations of various three and four-coordinated Ni_(1)-NxCy structures revealed a linear correlation between the reaction Gibbs free energy for the potential-limiting step and the highest occupied molecular orbital(HOMO)position of Ni-3d orbitals,therein the four-coordinated Ni_(1)-N_(1)C_(3)with the highest HOMO position is identified as the active site for the electrocatalytic CO_(2)-to-CO process,in line with the experimental results.

文摘Electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction is one of the very effective ways to achieve carbon neutrality,by converting CO_(2) into fuels and high-value chemicals.Therefore,it is crucial to design efficient CO_(2) reduction electrocatalysts and understand their reaction mechanism.Among various catalysts,dual-atom catalysts(DACs)offer several advantages,including a wide range of reaction types,high stability,customizable design,high re-action selectivity,tunable electronic structure,and strong catalytic activity.It is thus crucial to understand the reaction mechanism of DACs in CO_(2) reduction,especially the regulation of critical intermediates.In this review,we focus on the synthesis,structure-activity relationship,and application of DACs.Finally,some challenges and further prospects are also summarized,especially in terms of stability,product selectivity,and large-scale deployment.With the advancement of new materials and computational tools,DACs are poised to play increasingly important roles in CO_(2) reduction,providing effective solutions for sustainable energy and environ-mental protection.

文摘Revealing the dynamic reconfiguration of catalysts and the evolution of active species during catalysis,elucidating and regulating the reconfiguration mechanism are paramount to the development of highperformance electrochemical nitrate reduction(NO_(3)RR)to ammonia.In-situ characterizations can precisely track reaction process and unveil the origin of activity enhancement.Here,in-situ reconstruction of pre-catalyst Co_(3)O_(4)fabricates a stable heterojunction Co(OH)_(2)/Co_(3)O_(4)to boost NO_(3)RR to ammonia.Insitu generated heterojunction accelerates the transformation of^(*)NO_(3)to^(*)NO_(2),while Co(OH)_(2)promotes the dissociation of water to active*H species for the hydrogenation of^(*)N species,and thereby improving the deoxygenation and hydrogenation ability of NO_(3)RR to NH_(3)and achieving a high Faradaic efficiency(FE)about 96.2%and a high NH_(3)production rate of 218.5μmol h^(-1)mg_(cat)^(-1)at-0.3 V.Density functional theory(DFT)calculations verified that in-situ formed active species Co(OH)_(2)on Co_(3)O_(4)markedly decreased the energy barrier of^(*)NO_(3)→^(*)NO_(2)and accelerated the hydrogenation step of^(*)NH→^(*)NH_(2)→^(*)NH_(3).Co(OH)_(2)/Co_(3)O_(4)heterostructure-based Zn-NO_(3)^(-)cell achieves excellent energy supply(1.22 V),a high ammonia yield rate(48.9μmol h^(-1)cm^(-2)),and a high FE(91%).The establishment of the structure-activity relationship during NO_(3)RR provides guidance for designing advanced electrode materials,and the in-situ evolution of species on the electrode surface unveils the intrinsic nature of improved catalytic performance.
文摘To expand the study on the structures and biological activities of the anthracyclines anticancer drugs and reduce their toxic side effects,the new anthraquinone derivatives,9‑pyridylanthrahydrazone(9‑PAH)and 9,10‑bispyridylanthrahydrazone(9,10‑PAH)were designed and synthesized.Utilizing 9‑PAH and 9,10‑PAH as promising anticancer ligands,their respective copper complexes,namely[Cu(L1)Cl_(2)]Cl(1)and{[Cu_(4)(μ_(2)‑Cl)_(3)Cl_(4)(9,10‑PAH)_(2)(DMSO)_(2)]Cl_(2)}_(n)(2),were subsequently synthesized,where the new ligand L1 is formed by coupling two 9‑PAH ligands in the coordination reaction.The chemical and crystal structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated by IR,MS,elemental analysis,and single‑crystal X‑ray diffraction.Complex 1 forms a mononuclear structure.L1 coordinates with Cu through its three N atoms,together with two Cl atoms,to form a five‑coordinated square pyramidal geometry.Complex 2 constitutes a polymeric structure,wherein each structural unit centrosymmetrically encompasses two five‑coordinated binuclear copper complexes(Cu1,Cu2)of 9,10‑PAH,with similar square pyramidal geometry.A chlorine atom(Cl_(2)),located at the symmetry center,bridges Cu1 and Cu1A to connect the two binuclear copper structures.Meanwhile,the two five‑coordinated Cu2 atoms symmetrically bridge the adjacent structural units via one coordinated Cl atom,respectively,thus forming a 1D chain‑like polymeric structure.In vitro anticancer activity assessments revealed that 1 and 2 showed significant cytotoxicity even higher than cisplatin.Specifically,the IC_(50)values of 2 against HeLa‑229 and SK‑OV‑3 cancer cell lines were determined to be(5.92±0.32)μmol·L^(-1)and(6.48±0.39)μmol·L^(-1),respectively.2 could also block the proliferation of HeLa‑229 cells in S phase and significantly induce cell apoptosis.In addition,fluorescence quenching competition experiments suggested that 2 might interact with DNA by an intercalative binding mode,offering insights into its underlying anticancer mechanism.CCDC:2388918,1;2388919,2.
文摘Single-atom catalysts are promising for H_(2)O_(2) photosynthesis from O_(2) and H_(2)O,but their efficiency is still limited by the ill-defined electronic structure.In this study,Co single-atoms with unique four planar N-coordination and one axial P-coordination(Co-N_(4)P_(1))are decorated on the lateral edges of nanorod-like crystalline g-C_(3)N_(4)(CCN)photocatalysts.Significantly,the electronic structures of central Co as active sites for O_(2) reduction reaction(ORR)and planar N-coordinator as active sites for H_(2)O oxidation reaction(WOR)in Co-N_(4)P_(1) can be well regulated by the synergetic effects of introducing axial P-coordinator,in contrast to the decorated Co single-atoms with only four planar N-coordination(Co-N_(4)).Specifically,directional photoelectron accumulation at central Co active sites,induced by an introduced midgap level in Co-N_(4)P_(1),mediates the ORR active sites from 4e–-ORR-selective terminal–NH_(2) sites to 2e–-ORR-selective Co sites,moreover,an elevated d-band center of Co 3d orbital strengthens ORR intermediate*OOH adsorption,thus jointly facilitating a highly selective and active 2e^(–)-ORR pathway to H_(2)O_(2) photosynthesis.Simultaneously,a downshifted p-band center of N_(2)p orbital in Co-N_(4)P_(1) weakens WOR intermediate*OH adsorption,thus enabling a preferable 2e^(–)-WOR pathway toward H_(2)O_(2) photosynthesis.Subsequently,Co-N_(4)P_(1) exhibits exceptional H_(2)O_(2) photosynthesis efficiency,reaching 295.6μmol g^(-1) h^(-1) with a remarkable solar-to-chemical conversion efficiency of 0.32%,which is 15 times that of Co-N_(4)(19.2μmol g^(-1) h^(-1))and 10 times higher than CCN(27.6μmol g^(-1) h^(-1)).This electronic structure modulation on single-atom catalysts offers a promising strategy for boosting the activity and selectivity of H_(2)O_(2) photosynthesis.

文摘Recent progress in microwave absorption materials stimulates the extensive exploration of rare earth oxide materials.Herein,we report the synthesis of a hollow sphere-based carbon material compounded with rare earth oxides.Hollow N-doped carbon nano-spheres loaded ceria composites(H-NC@CeO_(2))were designed and prepared by the template method,combined with in-situ coating,pyrolysis and chemical etching.By controlling the loading content of H-NC@CeO_(2)and adjusting the impedance matching of the material,the H-NC@CeO_(2)/PS(polystyrene)composite exhibited a minimum reflection loss(RL)of-50.8 dB and an effective absorption band-width(EAB)of 4.64 GHz at a filler ratio of 20wt%and a thickness of 2 mm.In accordance with measured electromagnetic parameters,simulations using the high frequency structure simulator(HFSS)software were conducted to investigate the impact of the honeycomb structure on the electromagnetic wave performance of H-NC@CeO_(2)/PS.By calculating the surface electric field and the material’s bulk loss density,the mechanism of electromagnetic loss for the honeycomb structure was elaborated.A method for structural design and man-ufacturing of broadband absorbing devices was proposed and a broadband absorber with an EAB of 11.9 GHz was prepared.This study presents an innovative approach to designing advanced electromagnetic(EM)wave absorbing materials with broad absorption band-widths.

文摘Minimizing the thermal expansion coefficient(TEC)mismatch between the cathode and electrolyte in solid oxide fuel cells is crucial for achieving stable,durable operation and high performance.Recently,materials with negative thermal expansion(NTE)have at-tracted significant attention as effective additives for tailoring the thermomechanical properties of electrodes and enhancing cell durability.In this work,for the first time,single-phase NTE perovskite Sm_(0.85)Zn_(0.15)MnO_(3−δ)(SZM15)was successfully synthesized via the sol-gel method,eliminating the unwanted ZnO phase typically observed in materials obtained through the conventional solid-state reaction route.The sol-gel approach proved highly advantageous,offering low cost,robustness,excellent chemical homogeneity,precise compositional control,and high phase purity.After optimization of synthesis parameters,a negative TEC of approximately−6.5×10^(−6)K^(−1)was achieved in the 400-850℃range.SZM15 was then incorporated as an additive(10wt%-50wt%)into a SmBa0.5Sr0.5CoCuO_(5+δ)(SBSCCO)cathode to tune the thermomechanical properties with a La_(0.8)Sr_(0.2)Ga_(0.8)Mg_(0.2)O_(3−δ)(LSGM)electrolyte,achieving a minimal TEC mismatch of only 1%.Notably,the SBSCCO+10wt%SZM15 composite cathode exhibited the lowest polarization resistance of 0.019Ω·cm^(2)at 900℃,showing approximately 70%lower than that of the pristine cathode.Excellent long-term stability after 100 h of operation was achieved.In addition,a high peak power density of 680 mW·cm^(−2)was achieved in a Ni-YSZ(yttria-stabilized zirconia)|YSZ|Ce_(0.9)Gd_(0.1)O_(2−δ)(GDC10)|SBSCCO+10wt%SZM15 anode-supported fuel cell at 850℃,highlighting the effectiveness of incorporating NTE materials as a promising strategy for regulating the thermomechanical properties and improving the long-term stability of intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells(IT-SOFCs).
文摘New solid complex of the antimony trichloride and dioxane was obtained th rough a reaction of the dioxane and the absolute methanol solution of the antimony trichloride.The formula of the complex is[SbCl_(3)·{(CH_(2))_(4)O_(2)}_(1.5)].The crystal structure of the comple x belongs to cubic system,space group I-43d,a=17.1417(5)?,Z=16.The trivalent antimony ion not only bonds directly to three chlorine anions,but also is co ordinated by three oxygen atoms of th e dioxane molecules.Two oxygen atoms in a dioxane molecule wi ll coordinate to different antimony ions,respectively.
文摘Two novel lanthanide complexes,[Sm_(2)(BA)_(6)(4-OH-terpy)_(2)]·2H_(2)O·2EtOH(1)and[Pr_(2)(BA)_(6)(4-OH-terpy)_(2)(H_(2)O)_(2)]·HBA·H_(2)O(2),where HBA=benzoic acid,4-OH-terpy=4-hydroxy-2,2'∶6',2″-terpyridine,were successfully synthesized using ultrasonic dissolution and the conventional solution method with two mixed ligands HBA and 4-OH-terpy.During the synthesis,4-OH-terpy was involved in the reaction as a neutral ligand,while HBA,in its deprotonated form(BA-),coordinated with the lanthanide ions as an acidic ligand.The crystal structures of these two complexes were precisely determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.Elemental analysis,infrared and Raman spectroscopy,and powder X-ray diffraction techniques were also employed to further explore the physicochemical properties of the two complexes.The single-crystal X-ray diffraction data indicate that,despite their structural differences,both complexes belong to the triclinic crystal system P1 space group.The central lanthanide ions have the same coordination number but exhibit different coordination environments.To comprehensively evaluate the thermal stability of these two complexes,comprehensive tests including thermogravimetric analysis,differential thermogravimetric analysis,differential scanning calorimetry,Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,and mass spectrometry were conducted.Meanwhile,an in-depth investigation was conducted into the 3D infrared stacked images and mass spectra of the gases emitted from the complexes.In addition,studies of the fluorescence properties of complex1 showed that it exhibited fluorescence emission matching the Sm^(3+)characteristic transition.

文摘In mass spectrometry, fragments with a mass higher than the original molecular ion provide valuable insights into the molecular structure and can guide the assembly and disassembly processes for chemical synthesis. Here, we report such an example and following up by modifying the solvothermal reaction conditions (temperature and time) it is possible to isolate the high mass species in crystalline form. [Zn_(4)L_(4)Cl_(4)] (Zn_(4)L_(4), L = N-methylbenzimidazole-2-methanolate) has a boat-like Zn_(4)O_(4) core but electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) of the solution of its crystals shows higher mass peaks of Zn_(5)L_(5), Zn_(5)L_(6) and Zn_(6)L_(6) species. Thus, both disassembly and reassembly are highly probable processes. Consequently, [Zn(HL)_(2)Cl_(2)] (Zn1, L = N-methylbenzimidazole-2-methanolate), [Zn_(4)L_(6)Cl_(2)] (Zn_(4)L_(6), L = N-methylbenzimidazole-2-methanolate) and [Zn_(6)L_(6)Cl_(4)(CH_(3)O)_(2)] (Zn_(6)L_(6), L = N-methylbenzimidazole-2-methanolate) were prepared. The results of multistage ESI-MS of their dissolved crystals led to a proposed mechanism of their formation in the gas phase as follows: [Zn_(3)L_(4)] through [ZnL] → [ZnL(HL)] → [Zn(HL)_(2)] → [Zn_(2)L] → [Zn_(2)L_(2)] → [Zn_(2)L_(3)]. The mechanism was derived in conjunction with Gibbs free energies calculated using DFT of the fragments observed in the ESI-MS of Zn_(4)L_(4), Zn_(4)L_(6) and Zn_(6)L_(6). This work reveals the complex of chemical reactions, involving fragmentation and unexpected combination, under mass spectrometry condition which allows one to synthesize the observed transients, leading to mechanism of formation by correlation of solid-state/solution structural information.

文摘The well-densified Ni3Al-0.5B-5Cr alloy was fabricated by self-propagation high-temperature synthesis and extrusion technique. Microstructure examination shows that the synthesized alloy has fine microstructure and contains Ni3Al, Al2O3, Ni3B and Cr3Ni2 phases. Moreover, the self-propagation high-temperature synthesis and extrusion lead to great deformation and recrystallization in the alloy, which helps to refine the microstructure and weaken the misorientation. In addition, the subsequent extrusion procedure redistributes the Al2O3 particles and eliminates the γ-Ni phase. Compared with the alloy synthesized without extrusion, the Ni3Al-0.5B-5Cr alloy fabricated by self-propagation high-temperature synthesis and extrusion has better room temperature mechanical properties, which should be ascribed to the microstructure evolution.
文摘A trinuclear copper complex [Cu_(3)(L2)_(2)(SO_(4))_(2)(H_(2)O)_(7)]·8H_(2)O(1)(HL2=1-hydroxy-3-(pyrazin-2-yl)-N-(pyrazin-2-ylmethyl)imidazo[1,5-a]pyrazine-8-carboxamide) with a multi-substituted imidazo[1,5-a]pyrazine scaffold was serendipitously prepared from the reaction of the pro-ligand of H_(2)L1(N,N'-bis(pyrazin-2-ylmethyl)pyrazine-2,3-dicarboxamide) with CuSO_(4)·5H_(2O) in aqueous solution at room temperature.Complex 1 was characterized by IR,single-crystal X-ray analysis,and magnetic susceptibility measurements.Single-crystal X-ray analysis reveals that the complex consists of three Cu(Ⅱ) ions,two in situ transformed L2~-ligands,two coordinated sulfates,seven coordinated water molecules,and eight uncoordinated water molecules.Magnetic susceptibility measurement indicates that there are obvious ferromagnetic coupling interactions between the adjacent Cu(Ⅱ) ions in 1.CCDC:1852713.

文摘Lead chalcohalides(PbYX,X=Cl,Br,I;Y=S,Se)is an extension of the classic Pb chalcogenides(PbY).Constructing the heterogeneous integration with PbYX and PbY material systems makes it possible to achieve significantly improved optoelectronic performance.In this work,we studied the effect of introducing halogen precursors on the structure of classical PbS nanocrystals(NCs)during the synthesis process and realized the preparation of PbS/Pb_(3)S_(2)X_(2) core/shell structure for the first time.The core/shell structure can effectively improve their optical properties.Furthermore,our approach enables the synthesis of Pb_(3)S_(2)Br_(2) that had not yet been reported.Our results not only provide valuable insights into the heterogeneous integration of PbYX and PbY materials to elevate material properties but also provide an effective method for further expanding the preparation of PbYX material systems.
