Zeolite nanoparticles (H-ZSM5) as a highly efficient,green, and reusable heterogeneous catalyst for selective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides under mild conditions

H-ZSM5 is applied as an efficient, highly reusable, and heterogeneous catalyst for the oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides using 30% H₂O₂ under solvent-free conditions at room temperature. A variety of aromatic and aliphatic sulfides with different functional groups were successfully oxidized with good to excellent yields in short reaction times. The catalyst can be easily recovered by simple filtration and recycled for several consecutive runs without any significant loss of its catalytic activity.     

Statistically disordered short hydrogen bonds in (pipzH2)(cdoH)2 and a comparison with (pipzH2)(cdo)·H2O (pipz is piperazine and cdoH2 is chelidonic acid)

Two related proton‐transfer compounds, namely piperazine‐1,4‐diium 4‐oxo‐4H‐pyran‐2,6‐dicarboxylate monohydrate, C₄H₁₂N₂²⁺·C₇H₂O₆²⁻·H₂O or (pipzH₂)(cdo)·H₂O, (I), and piperazine‐1,4‐diium bis(6‐carboxy‐4‐oxo‐4H‐pyran‐2‐carboxylate), C₄H₁₂N₂²⁺·2C₇H₃O₆⁻ or (pipzH₂)(cdoH)₂, (II), were obtained by the reaction of 4‐oxo‐4H‐pyran‐2,6‐dicarboxylic acid (chelidonic acid, cdoH₂) and piperazine (pipz). In (I), both carboxyl H atoms of chelidonic acid have been transferred to piperazine to form the piperazine‐1,4‐diium ion. The structure is a monohydrate. All potential N—H donors are involved in N—H...O hydrogen bonds. The water molecule spans two anions via the 4‐oxo group of the pyranose ring and a carboxylate O atom. The hydrogen‐bonding motif is essentially two‐dimensional. The structure is a pseudomerohedral twin. In the asymmetric unit of (II), the anion consists of monodeprotonated chelidonic acid, while the piperazine‐1,4‐diium cation is located on an inversion centre. The single carboxyl H atom is disordered in two respects. Firstly, the disordered H atom is shared equally by both carboxylic acid groups. Secondly, the H atom is statistically disordered between two positions on either side of a centre of symmetry and is engaged in a very short hydrogen‐bonding interaction; the relevant O...O distances are 2.4549 (11) and 2.4395 (11) Å, and the O—H...O angles are 177 (6) and 177 (5)°, respectively. Further hydrogen bonding of the type N—H...O places the (pipzH₂)²⁺ cations in pockets formed by the chains of (cdoH)⁻ anions. In contrast with (I), the (pipzH₂)²⁺ cations form hydrogen‐bonding arrays that are perpendicular to the anions, yielding a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonding motif. The structures of both (I) and (II) also feature π–π stacking interactions between aromatic rings.     

Layer optimization in wight organic light emitting diodes (WOLEDs) to reduce the portion of guided waves in ITO/Glass interface

In this paper, our main attempt was to reduce Total Internal Reflection (TIR) happening at Indium Tin Oxide (ITO, n_ito = 1.8 + 0.01i) and Glass (n_glass = 1.51) interface, which is due to ITO's higher index in comparison with Glass's, that makes light guided in ITO layer, 50% of generated light in Wight Organic Light Emitting Diodes (WOLED) are trapped in ITO layer; here we tried to reduce this portion of trapped light by implying 12-fold quasi-photonic crystal to the mentioned interface. With some gentle changes in 12-fold's structure we could reduce TIR in this interface to less than 9%. Also, far field results before and after adding the structure to WOLED were studied, which represents suitability of using this structure for lighting applications.

ALANINE/CHLOROCHROMIC ACID/SILICA GEL: AN EFFICIENT AND SELECTIVE REAGENT FOR THE OXIDATION OF ORGANIC FUNCTIONAL GROUPS

Alanine/chlorochromic acid/silica gel is a new and selective reagent for the efficient oxidation of sulfides, thiols, oximes, and alcohols. Oxidation of sulfides is solvent dependent. In chloroform at room temperature sulfoxides are formed as the major products, while in carbon tetrachloride or under solvent-free conditions solfones are produced in good-to-excellent yields.
