Abstract:
A new metal hydra-cyanurate, K2(C3N3O3H), was synthesized by a slow evaporation method in aqueous solution. It possesses a short ultraviolet cutoff wavelength at 240 nm. First-principles calculations reveal that its birefringence (∼0.35@800nm) is two times larger than that of commercial calcite crystals. Therefore, K2(C3N3O3H) and metal cyanurates, are very promising ultraviolet birefringent materials in future optical devices.

Titration Calculations: Strong Acid - Strong Base
A titration is carried out for 25.00 mL of 0.100 M HCl (strong acid) with 0.100 M of a strong base NaOH. The pH at different volumes of added base solution can be calculated as follows:
(a) Titrant volume = 0 mL. The solution pH is due to the acid ionization of HCl. Because this is a strong acid, the ionization is complete and the hydronium ion molarity is 0.100 M. The pH of the solution is then:

Hydrogen Bonds Control the World!
Because hydrogen has very weak electronegativity when it binds with a strongly electronegative atom, such as oxygen or nitrogen, electrons in the bond are unequally shared....
