On page 5, the formula 'β s ≈ε/tan θ' would be replaced by the formula 'β s ≈εtan θ'. The slash symbol between the epsilon (ε) and tan θ would be removed.

Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanostructure doped with manganese (Mn: 5% and 10%) were prepared by the green synthesis method using the leaf extracts of Azadirachta indica. The microstructural investigation of the prepared nanopowders was carried out with the Rietveld refinement of the X-ray diffraction data. The phase analysis of the X-ray diffraction data confirmed that the synthesized nanoparticles have the hexagonal wurtzite structure in all cases. The Williamson Hall method was used to analyze the data obtained after the Rietveld refinement analysis to find some important microstructural parameters such as crystallite size, strain, stress and energy density. The size of the crystallites is almost the same in both cases and the values for strain, stress, and energy density increase with increasing Mn concentration. Functional groups and molecular interactions were identified by the Fourier Transform Infra-Red spectroscopy spectra. UV-visible spectra show that the band gap energy decreases with increasing Mn content. This property can help to fabricate a photodetector that can operate at a wavelength longer than the cut-off wavelength of ZnO. The morphology of the synthesized nanostructure was studied by field emission scanning electron microscope. The energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy data confirm the elemental compositions in the synthesized Mn-doped ZnO, which means that the desired nanostructures were successfully synthesized by the green method.

The reaction of Ru(η2‐RL)(PPh3)2(CO)Cl [η2‐RL is C6H2O‐2‐CHNHC6H4R(p)‐3‐Me‐5 and R=Me, OMe, Cl] with excess sodium p‐chlorothiophenolate (p‐ClC6H4SNa) in dichloromethane–tetrahydrofuran medium afforded the binuclear complexes of the type [Ru(PPh3)(η2‐RL)(CO)(p‐ClC6H4S)]2 [η2‐RL is C6H3O‐2‐CHNC6H4R(p)‐3‐Me‐5] in excellent yield. The binding of the thiolato ligands is attended with the cleavage of the Ru–C(aryl) and Ru–Cl bonds in Ru(η2‐RL)(PPh3)2(CO)Cl and the RL ligands are now coordinated with the metals in [Ru(PPh3)(η2‐RL)(CO)(p‐ClC6H4S)]2 via the imine nitrogen and the phenolato oxygen atoms. The CO ligand in [Ru(PPh3)(η2‐RL)(CO)(p‐ClC6H4S)]2 remains trans to the phenolato function as in Ru(η2‐RL)(PPh3)2(CO)Cl. The spectral (UV‐vis, IR, NMR, mass) and electrochemical data of the complexes are included. In dichloromethane solution the complexes display two successive one‐electron oxidation waves. The comproportionation constants (KC) as calculated by the ▵E1/2 values of the complexes are in the order of 105 indicating that the two metal centers in [Ru(PPh3)(η2‐RL)(CO)(p‐ClC6H4S)]2 are only weakly coupled by the bridging thiolato liagnds. Structure determinations of [Ru(PPh3)(η2‐RL)(CO)(p‐ClC6H4S)]2 (R=Me, OMe) have revealed a distorted octahedral RuCONPS2 coordination sphere with the pairs (P, S), (C, O), and (N, S) defining the three trans directions. The Ru⋅⋅⋅⋅Ru distances in the complexes are clearly outside of the range for a Ru‐Ru single bond. The electronic structures and the absorption spectra of the complexes are also scrutinized by the density functional theory (DFT) and Time‐dependent DFT analysis.
