Eliashberg theory for disordered superconductors. II. Tunneling into disordered two-dimensional Pb films

A series ofc-axis oriented YBa₂Cu₃O _x -films with different oxygen content were prepared by laser deposition. The oxygen contentx was determined by X-ray diffraction and by resonant Rutherford-back-scattering (RRBS) measurements. Thec-axis length in these films of YBa₂Cu₃O _x is about 0.5% larger compared to bulk values. We describe transport measurements in magnetic fields up to 7 Tesla between room temperature andT _c in samples with an oxygen content between the orthorhombic-to-tetragonal transition (x6.4) and full oxygenation (x7). The ratio /R _H was investigated with respect to the two-dimensional Luttinger liquid theory and the model of the two-dimensional ionic metal. We report on deviations from the expected quadratic temperature behaviour of /R _H , especially in films with high oxygen content.     

The relative influences of acidity and polarity on responsiveness of small organic molecules to analysis with negative ion electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS)

The purpose of the work presented here was to evaluate the influence of solution composition and analyte characteristics on responsiveness to analysis with negative ion electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. The responses of a series of structurally diverse acidic molecules were compared in various solvents. Response was generally observed to be higher in methanol than acetonitrile and response for all analytes was poorer when water was mixed with the organic solvent. A positive correlation between negative ion ESI-MS response and log P was observed when either acetonitrile or methanol was used as the electrospray solvent. This result was expected because analytes with significant nonpolar character should be particularly responsive to ESI-MS analysis due to their higher affinity for electrospray droplet surfaces. It was also predicted that highly acidic analytes would be most responsive to analysis with negative ion ESI-MS due to their tendency to form negative ions. However, for the analytes studied here, acidity was found not to have a consistent influence on ESI-MS response. Many of the highly acidic molecules were quite polar and, consequently, were poorly responsive. Furthermore, the deprotonated molecular ion was detected for a number of molecules with very high pKa values, which would not be expected to form negative ions in the bulk solution. Ultimately, these results indicate that acidity is not a conclusive parameter for prediction of the relative magnitudes of negative ion ESI-MS response among a diverse series of analytes. Analyte polarity does; however, appear to be useful for this purpose.     

A femtosecond study of the infrared-driven cis-trans isomerization of nitrous acid (HONO)

We investigate the dynamics and mechanism of the IR-driven cis-trans isomerization of nitrous acid (HONO) in a low-temperature krypton matrix applying ultrafast time resolved IR spectroscopy. After excitation of the OH-stretching mode the trans HONO state decays biexponentially on a 8 and 260 ps time scale. The initially excited cis HONO state decays on a 20 ps time scale. Cis HONO isomerizes with 10% quantum yield on a 20 ps time scale to trans HONO. The quantum yield we observe is significantly smaller than the previously reported 100%, which could imply that additional, much slower reaction channels exist. We furthermore developed a four-dimensional model of the system, which includes the three proton intramolecular degrees of freedom of HONO fully quantum mechanically and one intermolecular translational degree of freedom of the molecule in the crystal cage. We find that cis-trans isomerization necessarily is accompanied by a translation of the molecule as a whole in the crystal cage. The translational degree of freedom tunes the intramolecular proton states of HONO with respect to each other. When resonances occur, the proton states might couple and transfer population. We suggest a possible reaction pathway, where the cis OH-stretch excited state first couples to a high cis torsional mode, which then may transfer almost instantaneously to the trans side. The model qualitatively explains all experimental observations.     

DiastereoselectiveandEnantioselectiveSynthesisof(1S,2S)-2-Ethyl-1-aminocyclopropaneCarboxylicAcid

During the last decade, 1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid and its derivatives (ACCS) have attracted increasing attention of organic and bioorganic chemists due to their outstanding biological properties, ranging from antimicrobial, insecticidal, plant growth and fruit ripening controls, etc.1. Moreover, the three-membered carbocycle provides building blocks of unprecedented synthetic potential because it undergoes selective ring opening, ring enlargement or cycloaddition reactions2.

Theoretical Study on the Structures and Stability of Isomers and Complex of[Si,C,O,O] Sytem

A detailed singlet potential energy surface(PES) of [Si,C,O,O] system including a van der Waals (vdW) comples SiO……CO2,eight isomers,and twelve transiton states is investigated by MP2 and QCISD(T) (single-point)methods.At the final QCISD(T)/6-311 G(2df)//MP2/6-311G(d) level with zero-point energy included,the complex SiO……CO is found to be thermodynamically and kinetically the most stable species.Although eight ismoers are located as local energy minima,they are rather unstable toward isomerization to the dissociation fragments or comples.For the reaction of silocon atoms with carbon dioxide,two competitive reaction channels are found,and the primary pathway,which leads to the products of SiO and CO fragments,is the direct oxygen-abstraction process from carbon dioxide by silicon atom with a41.16 kJ/mol reaction barrier height.Our predications are in good agreement with previous experimental and theoretical studies.
