Freezing the polarization of CH3NH3PbI3 and CH3NH3PbI3-xClx perovskite films

Thin films of methylammonium lead halides, CH₃NH₃PbI₃ and CH₃NH₃PbI_3-xCl_x, were deposited onto symmetrical microstructured electrode arrays of gold or platinum on Si/SiO₂ wafers. Polarization studies were carried out on perovskite films under vacuum in the dark. For poling, a constant voltage was applied to the samples while the temperature was cycled between 295 K and 4 K. The measured current densities depending on the temperature showed distinct characteristics relating strongly to the crystal phase and the dielectric properties of the perovskite films. Voltage sweeps were carried out at different scan rates at specific temperature intervals after poling. The polarization of the films due to the migration of iodide vacancies in direction of the blocking perovskite/metal interface was frozen almost up to room temperature. Charge carriers were only able to cross the blocking barrier and contribute to the current where the ions have accumulated during poling. All J-V curves showed hysteresis: inverted and regular hysteresis at room temperature and below, respectively. Inverted hysteresis originates from the slow accumulation of ions at the blocking barrier, while regular hysteresis arises from a distortion in the adjacent crystals which will be discussed.     

Die Perthioborate RbBS3, TIBS3 und TI3B3S10

The Perthioborates RbBS₃, TIBS₃, and Tl₃B₃S₁₀ . RbBS₃ (P2₁/c, a=7.082(2) Å, b=11.863(4) Å, c=5.794(2) Å, β=106.54(2)°) was prepared as colourless, plate-shaped crystals by reaction of stoichiometric amounts of rubidium sulfide, boron, and sulfur at 600°C and subsequent annealing. TlBS₃ (P2₁/c, a=6.874(3) Å, b=11.739(3) Å, c=5.775(2) Å, β=113.08(2)°) which is isotypic with RbBS₃ was synthesized from a sample of the composition Tl₂S · 2 B₂S₃. The glassy product which was obtained after 7 h at 850°C was annealed in a two zone furnace for 400 h at 400→350°C. Yellow crystals of TlBS₃ formed at the warmer side of the furnace. Tl₃B₃S₁₀ (P1 , a=6.828(2) Å, b=7.713(2) Å, c=13.769(5) Å, α=104.32(2)°, β=94.03(3)°, γ=94.69(2)°) was prepared as yellow plates from stoichiometric amounts of thallium sulfide, boron, and sulfur at 850°C and subsequent annealing. All compounds contain tetrahedrally coordinated boron. The crystal structures consist of polymeric anion chains. In the case of RbBS₃ and TlBS₃ nonplanar five-membered B₂S₃ rings are spirocyclically connected via the boron atoms. To obtain the anionic structure of Tl₃B₃S₁₀ every third B₂S₃ ring of the polymeric chains of MBS₃ is to be substituted by a six-membered B(S₂)₂B ring.     

Hydrocarbon species mu3-CCH2-, mu3-CCH3 and mu-CHCH3 supported on Ti3O3

Treatment of the mu3-ethylidyne complex [{TiCp*(mu-O)}3(mu3-CMe)](1), (Cp*=eta5-C5Me5) with alkali metal amides leads to the oxoheterometallocubane derivatives [M(mu3-O)3{(TiCp*)3(mu3-CCH2)}] [M = Li (2), Na (3), K (4), Rb (5), Cs (6)] containing the naked carbanion mu3-CCH2-; the addition of triphenylmethanol and tert-butanol to the compounds 2-6 gives rise to the oxoderivatives [{TiCp*(mu-O)}3(mu-CHMe)(OCR3)][R = Me (7), Ph (8)] which show a mu-ethylidene bridge on the surface model Ti3O3.     

Diagrammes de phases des systemes binaires KNO3-CsNO3 et KNO3-NaNO3

(K?Na)NO₃ and (K?Cs)NO₃ phase diagrams were drawn using a simultaneous thermal analysis technique in the range 373 to 623 K. The first phase diagram shows a minimum freezing equimolar mixture at 494 K, a continuous solid solution in equilibrum with liquid phase and an eutectic mixture (88 molar % of KNO₃) at 380 K. The second one exhibits an invariant at 400 K corresponding to the KNO₃ solid-solid transition, an eutectoid mixture at 10 molar % of KNO₃ and 418 K involving the CsNO₃ solid-solid transition and an eutectic mixture at 60 molar % of KNO₃ and 495 K.     

3, 3, 3-Trifluoropropyl(methyl)cyclosiloxanes

The catalytic rearrangement of the cyclopentasiloxanes Φ_mD_5-m, where Φ represents a 3, 3, 3-trifluoropropyl(methyl)siloxane link and D a dimethylsiloxane link, and m=2–5 has been studied by the method described previously [1]. The rate of rearrangement and the rate of formation of a linear polysiloxane rise with an increase in m from 2 to 4. The equilibrium concentration of the linear polysiloxane formed from Φ_mD_5-m and from Φ_mD_4-m (m=0–4) [1] is inversely proportional to the molar fraction of Φ links in the ring and rises with an increase in the total concentration of siloxane links in solution. Results have been obtained on the kinetics of the formation of the cyclosiloxanes Φ_mD_n (where m=0–5, n=0–5, and m+n=3-6) during the rearrangement of the cyclopentasiloxanes Φ_mD_5-m. It has been established that at equilibrium a mixture of cyclosiloxanes Φ_mD_n containing practically constant ratios of tetramers, pentamers, and hexamers (m+n=4, 5, and 6) is obtained, regardless of the composition and structure of the initial cyclosiloxane and of the conditions of rearrangement (polymerization). The cyclopentasiloxanes Φ_mD_5-m are less active in the process of rearrangement than the cyclotetrasiloxanes Φ_mD_4-m. The activity of the cyclosiloxanes in rearrangement in the presence of a base rises in the sequence D₄?ΦD₃ ≈ Φ₂D₃<Φ₃D₂<Φ₄D < Φ₂D₂ < Φ₃D.     

Verfeinerung der Kristallstrukturen von KN3, RbN3, CsN3 und TIN3

Crystal structure refinements of KN₃, RbN₃, CsN₃, and TIN₃ The crystal structures of the isostructural compounds KN₃, RbN₃, CsN₃ and TIN₃ were refined by the method of least-squares using new X-ray diffraction data. The substances crystallize in a tetragonal variety of the CsCl type (space group I4/mcm) with four formula units per unit cell. The metal ions are surrounded by eight closest N atoms in a distorted quadratic antiprismatic arrangement at distances which correspond to the sum of the ionic radii. The azide ions are strictly linear and symmetrical with N — N bond lengths of 1.16 to 1,18 Å.     

Intermolecular vibrational spectra of C3v CXY3 Molecular Liquids, CHCl3, CHBr3, CFBr3, and CBrCl3

We report the quality anisotropic intermolecular vibrational spectra within the frequency range 0.5-800 cm(-1) of four C(3v) CXY(3) molecular liquids, CHCl(3), CHBr(3), CFBr(3), and CBrCl(3), by means of femtosecond optical-heterodyne-detected Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy. The results show that the first moment of the intermolecular vibrational spectrum is proportional to the square root of the value of the surface tension divided by the liquid density. This implies that the intermolecular vibrational spectrum reflects the bulk properties of the liquids. To understand the molecular-level aspects of the intermolecular vibrational spectra of the liquids, the spectra are compared with the molecular properties such as molecular weight, rotational constants, and bimolecular interaction energy. Overall, the first moment of the spectrum moderately correlates to the inverse square roots of both the molecular weight and the fast rotational constant. Therefore, the molecular properties are responsible for the intermolecular vibrational spectrum. Plots of the first moment of the intermolecular vibrational spectrum vs the square root of the value of the simple bimolecular interaction energy divided by the molecular surface area and the molecular weight show a linear correlation in the case of the oblate symmetric top molecular liquids, CHCl(3), CHBr(3), and CFBr(3). However, CBrCl(3), which is a prolate symmetric top molecular liquid, does not show the same correlation for the oblate molecular liquids.     

Calculation of the H2+ rovibrational energies and spectroscopic constants in the 2pπ, 3dσ, 4dσ, 4fπ, 4fσ, 5gσ, and 6iσ electronic states

Starting with the Hamilton‐Jacobi equation, Campos et al. have applied Hylleraas' method along with the series obtained by Wind‐Jaffe to several molecular ions, among which the H₂⁺ system, to determine their electronic energies in different states. In this work, we have fitted the potential energy curves for the 2pπ, 3dσ, 4dσ, 4fπ, 4fσ, 5gσ, and 6iσ electronic states of the H₂⁺ ion employing the Rydberg generalized function. From these fittings, the spectroscopic constants and the rovibrational energies have been determined by two distinct methods: Dunham's and the discrete variable representation. The theoretically obtained results are in a satisfactory agreement and are expected to provide a comparison source to future works in the experimental field. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Non-Isothermal Kinetics of the Decomposition Reaction of Cluster [Ag3WS3Br]（PPh3）3 and [Cu3WS3Br]（PPh3）3

The thermal behaviors of clusters [Ag3WS3Br](PPh3)3 and [Cu3WS3Br](PPh3)3 (PPh3=triphenyl phosphine) in a nitrogen atmosphere were studied under the non-isothermal conditions by simultaneous TG-DTG-DSC and EDS techniques. The results showed that the evolution of PPh3 generally proceeded before the release of the other moiety in one or two step-mode. The mechanisms, the kinetic and the thermodynamic parameters for decomposition of PPh3 of both clusters were determined and calculated by jointly using several methods, which showed that its evolution was controlled by Avrami-Erofeev equation. The results also showed that there was no new stable phase composed of W-Ag(Cu)-S-Br after release of organic moiety PPh3 and that CVD method was not applicable to their further processing.     

3, 3, 3-Trifluoropropyl(methyl)cyclosiloxanes

The influence of the number of 3, 3, 3-trifluoropropyl(methyl)siloxane links (Φ/Φ) in the cyclotetrasiloxanes Φ_mD_4-m, where D represents the dimethylsiloxane link and m=0–4, on the rearrangement of these compounds in acetone solution under the action of sodium siloxanolate has been studied. The rearrangement takes place with the formation of a linear polysiloxane the degradation of which yields, in addition to the initial ring, cyclosiloxanes with a different structure. The rate of rearrangement of Φ_mD_4-m and of the formation of a linear polysiloxane rises with an increase in m from 0 to 3. The equilibrium concentration of the linear polysiloxane formed from Φ_mD_4-m is inversely proportional to m. Results have been obtained on the kinetics of the formation of the cyclosiloxanes Φ_mD_n, where m=0–5, n=0–5, and m+n=3–6, in the rearrangement of the rings ΦD₃, Φ₂D₂, Φ₃D, and Φ₄. The reactivity of the siloxane links rises in the sequence ～ (CH₃)₂Si-O-Si(CH₃)₂ ～<～ (CF₃CH₂CH₂)-(CH₃) Si-O-Si(CH₃)₂ ～<(CF₃CH₂CH₂) (CH₃)Si-O-Si(CH₃) (CH₂CH₂CF₃) ～. Because of the negative inductive effect transferred through the siloxane links, the 3, 3, 3-trifluoropropyl groups strongly activate the siloxane ring with respect to nucleophiiic reagents.

Association rate constants for reactions between resonance-stabilized radicals: C3H3 + C3H3, C3H3 + C3H5, and C3H5 + C3H5

Reactions between resonance-stabilized radicals play an important role in combustion chemistry. The theoretical prediction of rate coefficients and product distributions for such reactions is complicated by the fact that the initial complex-formation steps and some dissociation steps are barrierless. In this paper direct variable reaction coordinate transition state theory (VRC-TST) is used to predict accurately the association rate constants for the self and cross reactions of propargyl and allyl radicals. For each reaction, a set of multifaceted dividing surfaces is used to account for the multiple possible addition channels. Because of their resonant nature the geometric relaxation of the radicals is important. Here, the effect of this relaxation is explicitly calculated with the UB3LYP/cc-pvdz method for each mutual orientation encountered in the configurational integrals over the transition state dividing surfaces. The final energies are obtained from CASPT2/cc-pvdz calculations with all pi-orbitals in the active space. Evaluations along the minimum energy path suggest that basis set corrections are negligible. The VRC-TST approach was also used to calculate the association rate constant and the corresponding number of states for the C(6)H(5) + H --> C(6)H(6) exit channel of the C(3)H(3) + C(3)H(3) reaction, which is also barrierless. For this reaction, the interaction energies were evaluated with the CASPT2(2e,2o)/cc-pvdz method and a 1-D correction is included on the basis of CAS+1+2+QC/aug-cc-pvtz calculations for the CH(3) + H reference system. For the C(3)H(3) + C(3)H(3) reaction, the VRC-TST results for the energy and angular momentum resolved numbers of states in the entrance channels and in the C(6)H(5) + H exit channel are incorporated in a master equation simulation to determine the temperature and pressure dependence of the phenomenological rate coefficients. The rate constants for the C(3)H(3) + C(3)H(3) and C(3)H(5) + C(3)H(5) self-reactions compare favorably with the available experimental data. To our knowledge there are no experimental rate data for the C(3)H(3) + C(3)H(5) reaction.     

Synthesis of Purine and Pyrimidine 3'-Amino-3'-deoxy- and 3'-Amino-2',3'-dideoxyxylonucleosides

A general procedure to obtain the 3'-aminoxylonucleosides 13a,b and 17a,b is presented. The synthetic scheme is based on the 5' directed intramolecular nucleophilic substitution at the 3'-activated position of the nucleoside. The approach of the incoming group to this position takes place regio- and stereoselectively from the most hindered face of the nucleoside. The methodology presented is applicable to ribonucleosides and 2'-deoxyribonucleosides, regardless of their nitrogenated base.

3, 3, 3-Trifluoropropyl(methyl)cyclosiloxanes

The catalytic rearrangement of the cyclopentasiloxanes _mD_5-m, where represents a 3, 3, 3-trifluoropropyl(methyl)siloxane link and D a dimethylsiloxane link, and m=2–5 has been studied by the method described previously [1]. The rate of rearrangement and the rate of formation of a linear polysiloxane rise with an increase in m from 2 to 4. The equilibrium concentration of the linear polysiloxane formed from _mD_5-m and from _mD_4-m (m=0–4) [1] is inversely proportional to the molar fraction of links in the ring and rises with an increase in the total concentration of siloxane links in solution. Results have been obtained on the kinetics of the formation of the cyclosiloxanes _mD_n (where m=0–5, n=0–5, and m+n=3-6) during the rearrangement of the cyclopentasiloxanes _mD_5-m.

The cyclopentasiloxanes _mD_5-m are less active in the process of rearrangement than the cyclotetrasiloxanes _mD_4-m. The activity of the cyclosiloxanes in rearrangement in the presence of a base rises in the sequence D₄D_{3 2}D₃<₃D₂<₄D < ₂D₂ < ₃D.For part II, see [1].     

Syntheses and characterization of oxygen/sulfur-bridged incomplete cubane-type clusters, [Mo3S4Tp3]+ and [Mo3OS3Tp3]+, and a mixed-metal cubane-type cluster, [Mo3FeS4ClTp3]. X-ray structures of [Mo3S4Tp3]Cl, [Mo3OS3Tp3]PF6, and [Mo3FeS4ClTp3

The reaction of [Mo3S4(H2O)9]4+ (1) with hydrotris(pyrazolyl)borate (Tp) ligands produced [Mo3S4Tp3]Cl x 4 H2O ([3]Cl x 4 H2O) in an excellent yield. An X-ray structure analysis of [3]Cl x 4 H2O revealed that each molybdenum atom bonded to the Tp ligand. We report four salts of 3, [3]Cl x 4 H2O, [3]tof x 2 H2O, [3]PF6 x H2O, and [3]BF4 x 2 H2O in this paper. The solubility and stability of the chloride salt in organic solvents differ completely from those of the other salts. We have also prepared a new compound, [Mo3OS3Tp3]PF6 x H2O ([4]PF6 x H2O), via the reaction of [Mo3OS3(H2O)9]4+ (2) with KTp in the presence of NH4PF6. All the molybdenum atoms bonded to Tp ligand. 1H NMR signals corresponding to nine protons bonded to three pyrazole rings in one Tp were observed in a spectrum (at 253 K) of [3]BF4 x 2 H2O. It shows that cluster 3 has a 3-fold rotation axis in CD2Cl2 solution. Twenty-one 1H NMR signals corresponding to twenty-seven protons bonded to nine pyrazole rings in three Tp ligands were observed in a spectrum (at 233 K) of [4]PF6 x H2O; obviously, 4 has no 3-fold rotation axis, in contrast to 3. The short CH...mu3S distance caused large upfield chemical shifts in the 1H NMR spectra of 3 and 4. The reaction of 3 with metallic iron in CH2Cl2 produced [Mo3FeS4XTp3] (X = Cl (5), Br (6)). X-ray structure analysis of 5 has revealed the existence of a cubane-type core Mo3FeS4. Complex 3 functions as a metal-complex ligand for preparing a novel mixed-metal complex even in nonaqueous solvents. The cyclic voltammogram of 5 shows two reversible one-electron couples (E(1/2) = -1.40 and 0.52 V vs SCE) and two irreversible one-electron oxidation processes (E(pc) = 1.54 and 1.66 V vs SCE).     

Shock tube investigation of CH3 + CH3OCH3

The title reaction has been investigated in a diaphragmless shock tube by laser schlieren densitometry over the temperature range 1163-1629 K and pressures of 60, 120, and 240 Torr. Methyl radicals were produced by dissociation of 2,3-butanedione in the presence of an excess of dimethyl ether. Rate coefficients for CH(3) + CH(3)OCH(3) were obtained from simulations of the experimental data yielding the following expression which is valid over the range 1100-1700 K: k = (10.19 ± 3.0)T(3.78)?exp((-4878/T)) cm(3) mol(-1)s(-1). The experimental results are in good agreement with estimates by Curran and co-workers [Fischer, S. L.; Dryer, F. L.; Curran, H. J. Int. J. Chem. Kinet.2000, 32 (12), 713-740. Curran, H. J.; Fischer, S. L.; Dryer, F. L. Int. J. Chem. Kinet.2000, 32 (12), 741-759] but about a factor of 2.6 lower than those of Zhao et al. [Zhao, Z.; Chaos, M.; Kazakov, A.; Dryer, F. L. Int. J. Chem. Kinet.2008, 40 (1), 1-18].
