Anion-dependent assembly of four sensitized near-infrared luminescent heteronuclear Zn(II)-Yb(III) Schiff base complexes from a trinuclear Zn(II) complex.

Four anion-dependent 0D Zn(II)-Yb(III) heterometallic Schiff base complexes, [YbZn2L2(OAc)4]·ClO4 (2), YbZnL2(NO3)3 (3), [(YbL)2(H2O)Cl(OAc)]2·[ZnCl4]2 (4), and YbZnL(OAc)4 (5), were assembled through central metal substitution or reconstruction from homotrinuclear Zn(II) complex {[(Zn(OAc)(H2O)L]2Zn}(ClO4)2·4H2O [1; HL = 2-ethoxy-6-[(pyridin-2-ylmethylimino)methyl]phenol] with different Yb(III)X3 salts [X = ClO4 (2), NO3 (3), Cl (4), and OAc (5)], in which the Zn(II)-sensitized near-infrared luminescent performances in the four complexes 2-5 are closely related to their structural models.

[Development of ultrasonic power meter].

This article describes the design and development of an ultrasonic power meter which is consist of an electronic balance, a practice target, an acoustic enclosures and a blocking. The electronic balance mounted on the blocking is linked with the practice target by connecting rod. By adjusting the blocking makes the practice target suspended above ultrasound probe, and then the ultrasonic power can be measured. After initial tests, the ultrasonic power meter performanced with good stability and high precision.
