Scope and regioselectivity of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azides with methyl 2-perfluoroalkynoates for an easy,metal-free route to perfluoroalkylated 1,2,3-triazoles

1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions of methyl 2-perfluoroalkynoates with various azides have been examined, leading to a simple metal-free synthetic protocol for the synthesis of perfluoroalkylated 1,2,3-triazoles. The regiochemical results demonstrated that the cycloaddition was controlled by FMO (the frontier molecular obitals) interaction and steric hindrance in transition states.     

Corrosion inhibition of ammonium molybdate for AA6061 alloy in NaCl solution and its synergistic effect with calcium gluconate

The corrosion inhibition of ammonium heltamolybdate (AH) and calcium gluconate (CG) for AA6061 alloy in 3% NaCl solution was investigated by the electrochemical measurements. It indicates that AH inhibits the corrosion of AA6061 alloy and acts as an anodic inhibitor. Maximum inhibition efficiency reaches 74.3% at the concentration of 1 × 10^?4 mol.l^?1 AH. The results of the electrochemical studies reveal AH is physically adsorbed on the AA6061 alloy surface and the adsorption follows Langmuir isotherm. The combination of AH and CG enhances the inhibition efficiency to 95.9%. The enhanced inhibition is attributed to the promotion of AH adsorption by CG. The mixture of AH and CG is a mixed‐type inhibitor and renders the corrosion potential to more positive values. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Organophosphine/phosphite‐stabilized silver(I) complexes bearing N‐acetylbenzamide ligand: synthesis,characterization and potential application in metal organic chemical vapor deposition

New N‐silver(I) acetylbenzamide complexes of type L_n?AgNC₉H₈O₂ (L = PPh₃; n = 1, 2a; n = 2, 2b; n = 3, 2c; L = P(OEt)₃; n = 1, 2d; n = 2, 2e; n = 3, 2f) were prepared. These complexes were obtained in high yields and characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H NMR, ¹³C{H} NMR, ³¹P{H} NMR and IR spectroscopy, respectively. The molecular structure of 2b has been determined by X‐ray single‐crystal analysis in which the silver atom is in a distorted tetrahedral geometry and crystallizes as cis–trans. New N‐silver(I) acetylbenzamide complexes have a four‐membered ring, which could influence their chemical and physical properties and modulate volatility. Metal organic chemical vapor deposition experiments were carried out successfully at 400°C and 450°C using 2e as precursor for the deposition of silver films, respectively. The high‐purity silver film obtained at 400°C is dense and homogeneous. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Flexural contact in MEMS stiction

Adhesive force between two solid surfaces can lead to stiction failure of the micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) device. The competition between the adhesive force and the beam restoring force determines whether the stiction occurs or not. Previous models assume that the stuck beam deforms either as the arc-shape or the S-shape, which causes significant differences in the measurements of adhesion and disputations among researchers. The contact mechanics model presented in this paper shows that the assumptions of the arc-shape and S-shape on the beam deformation over-simplify the problem; both the arc-shaped deformation and S-shaped deformation significantly deviate from the real ones. The previous theories are shown to be incompatible with the recent experimental results. The model presented in this paper attempts to explain those new experimental results and resolve some disputations on the previous models. The instabilities of jump-in during loading process and jump-off during unloading process are also incorporated in this model.     

Synthesis of tetrasubstituted thiophenes from pyridinium 1,4-zwitterionic thiolates and modified activated alkynes

Pyridinium 1,4-zwitterionic thiolates were applied to a formal [3 + 2] annulation reaction with modified activated alkynes, affording various tetrasubstituted thiophenes with aryl, alkenyl, alkyl or silyl group at the special position. The structural modification of alkyne substrates enabled the synthesis of diverse thiophenes to be achieved using the pyridinium 1,4-zwitterionic thiolates as the sulfur-containing building blocks. This approach is metal-free and catalyst-free.     

The input impedance of the dielectric resonator antenna

Dielectric cylinders of very high permittivity have been used in the past as resonant cavities, but since the structure is not enclosed by metallic walls, electromagnetic fields do exist beyond the geometrical boundaries of the structure and part of the power is radiated. Through the proper choice of geometry and permittivity this radiation can become the dominant feature of the structure and become an efficient antenna for use at millimeter wave frequencies. Both experimental and theoretical investigations of a variety of these dielectric resonator antennas have been undertaken. In particular, the input impedance of a probe-fed cylindrical structure was examined in detail and a comparison of theoretical and experimental results was made.
