Cobalt-Catalyzed Regio- and Stereoselective Hydroboration of Allenes

An efficient pincer-ligand-based cobalt-complex-catalyzed allene hydroboration affording Z-allylic boronates is described. The reaction demonstrates an excellent regio- as well as Z-stereoselectivity and a wide substrate scope that tolerates many functional groups. Based on solvent-assisted electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (SAESI-MS) studies, a rationale for the cobalt-catalyzed hydroboration involving the highly selective insertion of an allene into the Co−H bond to form Z-allylic cobalt intermediates is proposed.     

Local discontinuous Galerkin method for a nonlocal viscous conservation laws

The purpose of this article is to investigate high‐order numerical approximations of scalar conservation laws with nonlocal viscous term. The viscous term is given in the form of convolution in space variable. With the help of the characteristic of viscous term, we design a semidiscrete local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method to solve the nonlocal model. We prove stability and convergence of semidiscrete LDG method in L² norm. The theoretical analysis reveals that the present numerical scheme is stable with optimal convergence order for the linear case, and it is stable with sub‐optimal convergence order for nonlinear case. To demonstrate the validity and accuracy of our scheme, we test the Burgers equation with two typical nonlocal fractional viscous terms. The numerical results show the convergence order accuracy in space for both linear and nonlinear cases. Some numerical simulations are provided to show the robustness and effectiveness of the present numerical scheme.     

TADF激基复合物主体材料提升溶液法制备蓝色荧光有机发光二极管的效率

为了提升溶液法制备的蓝色荧光有机发光二极管(OLEDs)的效率,采用了基于热激活延迟发光(TADF)的激基复合物作为主体材料。TADF激基复合物主体可以利用反向系间窜跃上转换形成单线态激子并将能量传递到客体,从而可以同时利用发光层中的三线态激子和单线态激子,以提升蓝色荧光器件的效率。选择蓝色荧光材料1-4-Di-[4-(N,N-diphenyl)amino]styryl-benzene(DSA-ph)作为客体发光材料,4,4′,4″-T-ris(carbazol-9-yl)triphenylamine(TCTA)掺杂1,3,5-Tri(1-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)phenyl)(TPBi)作为热激活延迟荧光激基复合物主体,通过溶液法制备了蓝色荧光OLEDs。通过测试TCTA,TPBi以及TCTA掺杂TPBi的光致发光光谱发现,与TCTA和TPBi相比,TCTA掺杂TPBi的光致发光谱(PL)发生了明显的红移(峰值波长变为437 nm),而且光谱变宽,证明了TCTA∶TPBi激基复合物的形成。通过对于DSA-ph掺杂激基复合物主体的薄膜与DSA-ph掺杂poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA)的薄膜进行PL测试发现,两者发光峰相同,都是来自DSA-ph的发光,说明激基复合物主体将能量传递到了DSA-ph;DSA-ph的吸收光谱与激基复合物主体的PL光谱存在很大重叠,说明激基复合物主体与DSA-ph的能量传递非常有效;通过对激基复合物主体掺杂不同浓度客体的薄膜进行瞬态PL衰减测试发现,与纯DSA-ph的寿命相比,DSA-ph掺杂激基复合物主体之后其寿命会延长,纯DSA-ph的寿命只有1.19 ns,DSA-ph掺杂激基复合物主体的荧光衰减曲线与激基复合物主体的荧光衰减曲线相似,这进一步证明了激基复合物主体将能量传递到了DSA-ph。研究了主体引入以及DSA-ph掺杂浓度对器件性能的影响。对于器件的亮度、电流密度、电压、电流效率、电致发光光谱等参数进行了测试,与不采用激基复合物主体的器件相比,采用激基复合物主体的器件性能明显改善,在DSA-ph掺杂浓度为10%时,器件亮度从2133.6 cd·m^-2提升到了3597.6 cd·m^-2,器件效率从1.44 cd·A-1提升到了3.15 cd·A-1,发光峰只有来自DSA-ph的发光。采用TADF激基复合物主体的方法有潜力实现溶液法制备的高效蓝色荧光OLEDs。

Surface Engineering of Conjugated Polybenzothiadiazoles and Integration with Cobalt Oxides for Photocatalytic Water Oxidation

Conjugated polymers feature promising structure and properties for photocatalytic water splitting. Herein, a hydrolysis strategy was demonstrated to rationally modulate the surface hydrophilicity and band structures of conjugated poly-benzothiadiazoles. High hydrophilicity not only enhances the dispersions of polymeric solids in an aqueous solution but also reduces the absorption energy of water molecules. Besides, both theoretical and experimental results reveal that a more positive valence band potential is generated, which contributes to enhancing the photocatalytic water oxidation performance. Accordingly, the surface-modified conjugated polymers show largely promoted photocatalytic water oxidation activities by deposition of cobalt oxides as cocatalysts.

磁光平面波导的单向传播特性

表面磁等离子体(surfacemagnetoplasmons,SMPs)是一种在电介质和偏置磁场作用下磁光材料界面处传播的近场电磁波.其独特的非互易传播特性引起了大量科研工作的关注,但在具体的波导结构设计上仍存在很多问题.本文研究了一种银-硅-磁光材料的3层平面波导结构,SMPs在磁光材料和硅的界面处传播,发现在特定的频率范围内,SMPs的基模及高阶模式均具有正向或反向的单向传播特性.分别计算了旋磁与旋电材料平面波导的色散方程,研究了硅层厚度与外加磁场对能带结构及SMPs单向传播区域的影响,发现无论是旋磁或旋电材料的结构,硅层厚度的增加使高阶模式使高阶模式出现在更低的频率位置,使单向传输带宽变小甚至消失,外加磁场的变大使磁光材料的能带结构频率增大的同时带隙中也引入了高阶模式.计算了2种磁光材料平面波导的正向和反向的单向传播带宽宽度,发现旋磁材料YIG的单向SMPs模式出现在GHz波段,最大单向带宽可达到2.45 GHz;旋电材料InSb的单向SMPs模式出现在THz波段,最大单向带宽达到3.9 THz.
