Two thallium scorpionate complexes: dihydrobis (3-phenyl-4-cyanopyrazolyl) boratothallium(I) (TlBp Ph,4CN), C 20H 14BN 6Tl and dihydrobis(3-tert-butyl-4-cyanopyrazolyl) boratothallium(I) (TlBp t-Bu,4CN), C 16H 22BN 6Tl have been prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction. Both compounds crystallize in monoclinic space groups, TlBp Ph,4CN in P2 1/n with a = 4.2039(3) Å, b = 26.2211(17) Å, c = 16.611(1) Å, β = 90.199(3)°, and TlBp t-Bu,4CN in P2 1/c with a = 13.8578(5) Å, b = 9.6741(4) Å, c = 14.2790(5) Å, β 95.141(2)°. The two complexes show similar structures with elongated metal-ligand bonds and intermolecular interactions between the metal ion and cyano substituents, allowing the potential construction of cyanobridged coordination polymers.

Thesis (MSc (Physics))--University of Stellenbosch, 2007. / In this thesis we present a relativistic formalism for the description of hypernuclei production via the weak interaction. It will be shown that the cross section can be written as the contraction of a leptonic and hadronic tensor if we model the interaction as a quasifree process. The hadronic tensor is written in a model-independent way in terms of thirteen nuclear structure functions. A Born term model is used to describe the underlying elementary hyperon production process. The bound state wave functions of the hyperon and nucleon are calculated within a relativistic mean-field approximation. Together with the relativistic kinematics a fully relativistic framework for experimental predictions is constructed and a specific cross section calculation is discussed.

Thesis (MSc (Physics))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009. / In this thesis a general relativistic formalism for neutrino-induced weak production of strange particles is presented. In our formalism it is shown that the differential cross section is constructed as a contraction between a leptonic tensor and a hadronic tensor. The electroweak theory of Glashow, Salam and Weinberg is used to calculate the leptonic tensor exactly. The hadronic current is determined from the newly derived general form of the weak hadronic current which is expressed in terms of eighteen invariant amplitudes that parametrize the hadron vertex. The Born diagram is used to approximate the unknown hadronic vertex and the numerical calculation is made by evaluating the tree diagrams in terms of standard weak form factors and the strong coupling constants in the framework of the Cabibbo theory and SU(3) symmetry. The investigation is made for charged current reactions in terms of the angular distribution of the differential cross section with respect to the outgoing kaon angle and the results are discussed.

Especificamente, os modelos considerados estão baseados nas simetrias de gauge SU(3)L ⊗ U(1)X eSU(2)L ⊗U(1)Y⊗U(1)B−L. Primeiramente, no contexto do modelo 3-3-1 com um sector escalar mínimo é realizado um estudo detalhado referente à implementção da simetria de Peccei-Quinn (PQ) para resolver o problema CP forte. Para a versão original do modelo, que possui apenas dois tripletos escalares, é mostrado que a Lagrangiana total é invariante sobre uma simetria PQ. No entanto, o áxion não é produzido porque um sub-grupo permanece sem quebrar. Embora, neste caso, o problema CP forte possa ser resolvido, a solução é amplamente desfavorecida porque três quarks não têm massa em todas as ordens da teoria de perturbação. A adição de um terceiro tripleto escalar resolve o problema dos quarks sem massa, mas o áxion que aparece é visível. Para fazer o modelo realístico teremos que modificá-lo. É mostrado que a adição de um singleto escalar junto com uma simetria de gauge discreta ZN é capaz de levar a cabo esta tarefa e proteger o áxion de efeitos da gravidade quântica. Para ter segurançaa que a simetria de gauge discreta que protege o áxion é livre de anomalias, é usada uma versão discreta do mecanismo de Green-Schwarz. A seguir, é considerado um modelo eletrofraco baseado na simetria de gauge SU(2)L ⊗U(1)Y⊗U(1)B−L, no qual temos neutrinos de mão direita com números quânticos exóticos e diferentes. Devido a esta particular caraterística, é possível termos de massa e de Yukawa para os neutrinos, com campos escalares que podem adquirir valores esperados do vácuo (VEVs) pertencendo a escalas de energia... / In this doctoral thesis axions, Majorons and neutrinos are considered into different electro weak extensions of the standar dmodel of the particle physics. Specifically, the two models considered are based on theSU(3)L ⊗U(1)X andSU(2)L⊗U(1)Y⊗ U(1)B−Lgaugesymmetries. Firstly, in the framework of a 3-3-1 model with a minimal scalar sector a detailed study concerning the implementation of the PQ symmetry in order to solve the strong CP problem is made. For the original version of the model, with only two scalar triplets, it is shown that the entire Lagrangian is invariant under a PQ-like symmetry but no axion is produced since aU(1) subgroup remains unbroken. Although in this case the strong CP problem can still be solved, the solution is largely disfavored since three quark states are left massless to all orders in perturbation theory. The addition of a third scalar triplet removes the massless quark states but the resulting axion is visible. In order to become realistic the model must be extended to account for massive quarks and invisible axion. It is shown that the addition of a scalar singlet together with aZN discrete gauge symmetry can successfully accomplish these tasks and protect the axion field against quantum gravitational effects. To make sure that the protecting discrete gauge symmetry is anomaly free, a discrete version of th eGreen-Schwarz mechanism is used. Secondly, an electroweak model based on the gauge symmetrySU(2)L ⊗U(1)Y⊗ U(1)B−L which has right-handed neutrinos with different quantum numbers is considered. Because of this particular feature it is possible to write Yukawa terms, and neutrino mass terms, with scalar fields that can develop VEVs belonging to different energy scales. A detailed study of the scalar and the Yukawa neutrino sectors is made to show that this model is compatible with... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Les réseaux organiques covalents (COFs) sont des réseaux bidimensionnels et tridimensionnels assemblés seulement par des atomes légers, c’est-à-dire de la première et deuxième rangée du tableau périodique. Ceux-ci ont montré des propriétés de porosité pouvant être exploitées dans le stockage, dans la catalyse et dans la séparation moléculaire. La plupart de ces matériaux ont été obtenus par une réaction finale de condensation, ce qui nuit à leurs cristallisations, donc à l’homogénéité et à la caractérisation détaillée de ces matériaux. Les p-xylylènes de Thiele et Tschitschibabin sont des molécules qui ont suscité l’intérêt pour leurs structures et leurs propriétés magnétiques. Subséquemment, Wittig a démontré que le remplacement des fragments diphénylméthylène par des fragments fluorénylidène sur le p-xylylène de Thiele donne des molécules pouvant s’oligomériser pour former un tétramère. Dans notre étude, nous avons examiné l’assemblage de dérivés fluorénylidène dans le but d’obtenir un COF. Tout d’abord, un dérivé linéaire similaire à ce que Wittig a obtenu a été synthétisé afin de vérifier l’assemblage à partir d’un cœur spirobifluorényle. Ces molécules se sont assemblées en tétramère, comme prévu, et en hexamère. Ces deux résultats ont pu être rationalisés par une étude à l’état solide par diffraction des rayons-X. L’empilement tridimensionnel a également été étudié pour ces deux molécules. Subséquemment, des dérivés tétraédriques ont été synthétisés afin d’étudier leurs assemblages. Un premier dérivé est resté sous sa forme quinoïdale et ne s’est pas assemblé, alors qu’un second dérivé a mené à un dimère partiellement assemblé. La structure de ce dernier suggère la formation d’un polymère linéaire pour ce composé dans le cas où il aurait été possible de l’assembler complètement. / Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are ordered two-dimensional and three-dimensional frameworks assembled only from light atoms in the first and second rows of the periodic table. These frameworks have shown properties that make them potentially useful in the storage of molecular guests, in catalysis and in separation. COFs are typically obtained by a final condensation reaction, which makes their crystallization difficult and leads to materials that are inhomogeneous and impossible to characterize in detail. The p-xylylenes of Thiele and Tschitschibabin are molecules that have attracted interest because of their structures and magnetic properties. Subsequently, Wittig demonstrated that replacing diphenylmethylene fragments in these structures by fluorenylidene units allowed their oligomerisation to form tetrameric structures. In our study, we have investigated the assembly of fluorenylidene derivatives to obtain COFs. First, a linear derivative similar to that obtained by Wittig was prepared to verify the feasibility of assembly from a spirobifluorenyl core. These compounds were found to oligomerise to form a tetramer, as expected as well as a hexamer. Both results have been rationalized by a study of the crystal structures by X-ray diffraction. The three-dimensional packing has also been analyzed. Subsequently, tetrahedral derivatives were synthesized to study the possibility of analogous assembly leading to COFs. A first derivative was found to remain in its quinoidal form rather than oligomerise and a second derivative resulted in a partially assembled dimer. The structure of the latter suggests that a linear polymer could be formed by a further reaction.
