The azafullerene Tb2@C79N is found to be a single‐molecule magnet with a high 100‐s blocking temperature of magnetization of 24 K and large coercivity. Tb magnetic moments with an easy‐axis single‐ion magnetic anisotropy are strongly coupled by the unpaired spin of the single‐electron Tb?Tb bond. Relaxation of magnetization in Tb2@C79N below 15 K proceeds via quantum tunneling of magnetization with the characteristic time τQTM=16 462±1230 s. At higher temperature, relaxation follows the Orbach mechanism with a barrier of 757±4 K, corresponding to the excited states, in which one of the Tb spins is flipped. 相似文献
3-Chloroquinoline-2,4-diones react with cyanide ions in dimethyl formamide to give 3-cyanoquinoline-2,4-diones in small yields due to the strong hindrance of the substituent at the C-3 atom. Good yields can be achieved if the substituent at this position is the methyl group. In the methanol solution, the reaction proceeds by an addition mechanism to form 2-oxo-1a,2,3,7b-tetrahydrooxireno[2,3-c]quinoline-7b-carbonitriles, from which 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-4-carbonitriles are subsequently formed by opening of the epoxide ring with methanol. Some minor products of these reactions have also been isolated. The 1H, 13C and 15N NMR spectra of the prepared compounds were measured, and all resonances were assigned using appropriate two-dimensional spectra. 相似文献
David Briggs was a surface analysis pioneer. Starting in 1970 and continuing throughout his career, Dave used his expertise, vision, and ability to quickly master new surface analysis methods and solve important industrial problems. It certainly helped that he was an outstanding fundraiser in both industrial and academic settings, which ensured he always had an impressive array of the latest, most advanced surface analysis instrumentation at his disposal. He insisted on doing surface analysis correctly, and through his publications, databases, and books, he provided the community with the needed guidelines and methods to do so. In the 1970s, Dave's research was largely focused on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS, also known as electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis [ESCA]) characterization of polymers and catalysts. He added secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) to his instrumentation arsenal in the 1980s and provided many of the key, pioneering publications that described how to use this method to characterize polymer surfaces. He also did some of the first surface analysis imaging experiments in the 1980s. In the 1990s, he continued his XPS and SIMS research on polymers and advanced the surface analysis community's ability to properly interpret surface analysis data through databases and advanced data processing methods. Dave continued to publish polymer and catalysis surface analysis papers in the 2000s, but also expanded his surface analysis studies to several other topics. 相似文献

Improving the germination of economically important crops and the condition of young plants is a major challenge currently facing agricultural practice. Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is one of the four most important cultivated legumes, along with groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.), soybean (Glycine max L.) and beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Due to the high protein content (23–33%), there is an interest in growing this crop as a source of protein for humans and animals. In this study, we focused on the effect of Cold Atmospheric Pressure Plasma (CAPP) on the decontamination and germination of pea seeds, on young seedling growth and production parameters, and on increasing their resistance and mechanical strength. We can state that germination increased by 10 to 25% after plasma treatment, and the most significant decontamination effect was detected when using non-thermal plasma generated in the ambient air (A-variants) and in the nitrogen atmosphere (N-variants). The increased in situ activity of peroxidases (POX) in the cell walls of A-variants and N-variants is also closely related to the increase in the mechanical strength of the cell walls and thus contributes to the higher resistance of these seedlings. This is also illustrated by the differences in lignin deposition among the different variants after CAPP treatment. To our knowledge, this is the first study concerning the influence of CAPP on the lignification of root tissues and on increasing the strength and resistance of plants.
