Sympathetic cooling in a mixture of diamagnetic and paramagnetic atoms

We have experimentally realized a hybrid trap for ultracold paramagnetic rubidium and diamagnetic ytterbium atoms by combining a bichromatic optical dipole trap for ytterbium with a Ioffe-Pritchard-type magnetic trap for rubidium. In this hybrid trap, sympathetic cooling of five different ytterbium isotopes through elastic collisions with rubidium was achieved. A strong dependence of the interspecies collisional cross section on the mass of the ytterbium isotope was observed.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

Production of ultracold heteronuclear YbRb* molecules by photoassociation

We have produced ultracold heteronuclear YbRb$^*$ molecules in a combined magneto-optical trap by photoassociation. The formation of electronically excited molecules close to the dissociation limit was observed by trap loss spectroscopy in mixtures of $^{87}$Rb with $^{174}$Yb and $^{176}$Yb. The molecules could be prepared in a series of vibrational levels with resolved rotational structure, allowing for an experimental determination of the long-range potential in the electronically excited state

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Spectral Characteristics of N-(tert-Butyl) aminomethanesulfonic Acid

A new method of the synthesis of N-(tert-butyl)aminomethanesulfonic acid in the system SO2–(CH3)3CNH2–CH2O–H2O was developed. The target compound [(CH3)3С]NHCH2SO3H was characterized by means of X-ray diffraction analysis, IR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry

Cs2Bi(PO4)(WO4)

Dicaesium bis­muth(III) phosphate(V) tungstate(VI), Cs2Bi(PO4)(WO4), has been synthesized during complex investigation in a molten pseudo-quaternary Cs2O–Bi2O3–P2O5–WO3 system. It is isotypic with K2Bi(PO4)(WO4). The three-dimensional framework is built up from [Bi(PO4)(WO4)] nets, which are organized by adhesion of [BiPO4] layers and [WO4] tetra­hedra above and below of those layers. The inter­stitial space is occupied by Cs atoms. Bi, W and P atoms lie on crystallographic twofold axes

The possibility of mild SO2 oxidation in sulfur(IV) oxide–alkylamine–water–oxygen systems is demonstrated to yield onium sulfates

Synthesis and Structure of Aminoguanidinium Sulfite Monohydrate

Abstract—The reaction between sulfur(IV) oxide and an aqueous suspension of aminoguanidinium hydro carbonate yields (CN4H7)2SO3 ⋅ H2O, an “onium” sulfite, which has been characterized by Xray diffraction and IR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The structure of the salt is stabilized by numerous Hbonds, such as NH⋅⋅⋅O, OH⋅⋅⋅O, and NH⋅⋅⋅N. The incorporation of pyramidal ions into the network of Hbonds is accompanied by the lowering of their symmetry in comparison with C3v, thus complicating the IR spectra of the salt in the region where the vibrations of the anion appear

Interaction Products in the System Sulfur Dioxide–2,2′-Bipyridine–Water. Van der Waals Clathrates

Crystallization of 2,2′-bipyridine from aqueous solution containing sulfur(IV) oxide afforded clathrates with the composition (bipy)k·(SO2)m·(H2O)n. X-Ray amorphous guest SO2 molecules occupy voids in the crystal lattice of 2,2′-bipyridine without distortion of its structure. The isolated compounds were characterized by elemental analyses, X-ray diffraction data, and IR, NMR, and mass spectra
