Synthesis of Elusive Chloropnictenium Ions

This work describes the synthesis and full characterization of elusive chloropnictenium ion salts of the type [^RAr*N(SiMe)ECl][A] (^RAr*=2,6‐(CHPh₂)‐4‐R‐C₆H₂, R=Me, tBu; E=Sb, Bi; A^?=GaCl₄, Al(OCH(CF₃)₂)₄). In these species the cation is significantly stabilized by weak arene interactions to flanking phenyl groups of the ^RAr* moiety. In this context the bonding situation has been studied by computational means and the reactivity towards the Lewis base 4‐dimethylaminopyridine (dmap) was investigated.     

An analysis of overlapping Schwarz method for a weakly coupled system of singularly perturbed convection-diffusion equations

In this article, we have developed an overlapping Schwarz method for a weakly coupled system of convection-diffusion equations. The method splits the original domain into two overlapping subdomains. A hybrid difference scheme is proposed in which on the boundary layer region, we use the central finite difference scheme on a uniform mesh, whereas on the nonlayer region, we use the mid-point difference scheme on a uniform mesh. It is shown that the numerical approximations converge in the maximum norm to the exact solution. We have proved that, when appropriate subdomains are used, the method produces almost second-order convergence. Furthermore, it is shown that two iterations are sufficient to achieve the expected accuracy. Numerical examples are presented to support the theoretical results. The main advantage of this method used with the proposed scheme is that it reduces iteration counts very much and easily identifies in which iteration the Schwarz iterate terminates.     

Heat conductivity and Dufour effect in the weakly ionized,magnetized, and kappa-distributed plasma

By using the generalized Boltzmann equation of transport and the first-order approximation of Chapman-Enskog expansion on the κ-distribution function, we study the thermal conductivity and Dufour effect in the weakly ionized and magnetized plasma. We show that the thermal conductivity and Dufour coefficient in the κ-distributed plasma are significantly different from those in the Maxwell-distributed plasma, and the transverse thermal conductivity and Dufour coefficient in the κ-distributed plasma are generally greater than those in the Maxwell-distributed plasma, and the Righi-Leduc coefficient and Hall Dufour coefficient in the κ-distributed plasma are also generally greater than those in the Maxwell-distributed plasma.     

Synthesis and Reactivity of the First Isolated Hydrogen‐Bridged Silanol–Silanolate Anions

We report on the first examples of isolated silanol–silanolate anions, obtained by utilizing weakly coordinating phosphazenium counterions. The silanolate anions were synthesized from the recently published phosphazenium hydroxide hydrate salt with siloxanes. The silanol–silanolate anions are postulated intermediates in the hydroxide‐mediated polymerization of aryl and alkyl siloxanes. The silanolate anions are strong nucleophiles because of the weakly coordinating character of the phosphazenium cation, which is perceptible in their activity in polysiloxane depolymerization.     

螺栓松动边界下纤维增强复合薄板的振动测试方法

提出了基于预埋压力传感器的量化测试方法,研究了螺栓松动边界对纤维增强复合薄板振动特性的影响。首先,自主设计并开发了带有预埋压力传感器的螺栓松动边界下复合薄板的振动测试系统,并详细介绍了系统各个部件的组成和功能;然后,归纳出一套合理、规范的松动边界下复合薄板的振动测试流程,并对HF10碳纤维/树脂复合薄板进行了实际测试。结果表明:随着螺栓松动程度的不断增加,复合薄板的固有频率逐渐降低,模态振型的节线位置也发生了不同程度的变化,但其阻尼结果呈现先增大后减小的趋势;而共振和非共振响应呈现先减小后增大的趋势。     

Direct Hydrogenation of Nitroaromatics at Room Temperature Catalyzed by Magnetically Recoverable Cu@Fe2O3 Nanoparticles

Metal embedded in metal oxide nanoparticles are active as catalyst in plethora of industrially important reactions. Herein, embedded Cu@Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles was synthesized via a one step hydrothermal strategy which selectively catalyzes the hydrogenation of diverse nitroaromatics in H₂O at room temperature. The remarkable catalytic performance is due to the successful hybridization of metallic Cu and Fe₂O₃ which in turn allows easy electroflipping between various oxidation states of Cu and Fe. Azo- and azoxy-compounds are not formed during the catalyzed process. This evidently establish that the hydrogenation of nitroaromatics proceeds via direct route with >99% selectivity to the corresponding anilines.

Taming Tin(IV) Polyazides

The first charge‐neutral Lewis base adducts of tin(IV) tetraazide, [Sn(N₃)₄(bpy)], [Sn(N₃)₄(phen)] and [Sn(N₃)₄(py)₂], and the salt bis{bis(triphenylphosphine)iminium} hexa(azido)stannate [(PPN)₂Sn(N₃)₆] (bpy = 2,2′‐bipyridine; phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline; py = pyridine; PPN = N(PPh₃)₂) have been prepared using covalent or ionic azide‐transfer reagents and ligand‐exchange reactions. The azides were isolated on the 0.3 to 1 g scale and characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopies, microanalytical and thermal methods and their molecular structures determined by single‐crystal XRD. All complexes have a distorted octahedral Sn[N]₆ coordination geometry and possess greater thermal stability than their Si and Ge homologues. The nitrogen content of the adducts of up to 44 % exceed any Sn^IV compound known hitherto.
