English to Italian: Formation of organoclays by a one step synthesis
Source text - English Abstract
Different lamellar hybrid inorganic–organic materials having as inorganic parent 2:1 (T.O.T.) phyllosilicates such as talc, saponite, pyrophyllite, beidellite and montmorillonite were prepared by a one step synthesis. The solids were characterized by X-ray diffraction, solid state 29Si, 27Al, and 19F nuclear magnetic resonance and transmission electron microscopy. XRD patterns show that solids with inorganic parents having octahedral sheet based on aluminum exhibit a lamellar structure similar to MCM-50, whereas those with magnesium have an organophyllosilicate structure. In the first case, the absence of hexacoordinated aluminium was confirmed by 27Al NMR and an ordered stacking of the layers is observed on TEM micrographs. In opposite, a disorder is observed on the TEM images of organophyllosilicates. The formation of the 2:1 structure was found to be controlled mainly by the insertion of silicic species in the interlamellar space of brucite like layers.

Mediante sintesi monofase, sono stati preparati diversi materiali lamellari ibridi organici-inorganici aventi come padri inorganici fillosilicati 2:1 (T-O-T), quali ad esempio talco, saponite, pirofillite, beidellite e montmorillonite. I solidi ottenuti sono stati caratterizzati tramite diffrattometria a raggi-X (XRD), risonanza magnetica nucleare (NMR) di 29Si, 27Al, e 19F allo stato solido, e microscopia elettronica a trasmissione (TEM). I pattern XRD mostrano che i solidi con padri inorganici aventi lo strato ottaedrico a base di alluminio presentano una struttura lamellare simile a quella degli MCM-50, mentre quelli con lo strato a base di magnesio presentano la tipica struttura dei fillosilicati organici. Nel primo caso, l'assenza di alluminio esacoordinato è stata confermata dalla NMR del 27Al; si è inoltre osservata una sovrapposizione ordinata degli strati nelle micrografie TEM. Per contrasto, si è riscontrata un’anomalia nelle immagini TEM dei fillosilicati organici. Si è visto che la formazione di una struttura 2:1 è controllata principalmente dall’inserimento di gruppi silicici nello spazio interstrato presente fra gli strati di tipo brucitico.

Source text - English Martin Luther knew as well as any man who ever lived that every day with Jesus is not sweeter than the day before. And according to Roland Bainton, he wrote these words in the year of his deepest depression:
And though this world with devils filled
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God has willed
His truth to triumph through us.
The prince of darkness grim,
We tremble not for him—
His rage we can endure,
For lo, his doom is sure:
One little word shall fell him.
Translation - Italian Cosí come qualsiasi uomo mai vissuto, Martin Lutero sapeva benissimo che ogni giorno con Gesú non è piú dolce del giorno prima. E, secondo Roland Bainton, scrisse queste parole nell’anno della sua piú profonda depressione:
E se anche il mondo, di demoni gremito,
La nostra distruzione minaciasse,
Timor non avrem, perché Dio ha stabilito
Che la sua verità con noi trionfasse.
Per il principe del male tenebroso,
Noi non tremiamo, né perdiamo riposo—
Il furor suo è da noi sopportato,
Perché egli ha il destino ormai segnato:
Una sola parola, e il poter suo è eroso.
