Multifractal analysis for Cu/Ti bilayer thin films

Two bilayer thin films with different stacking sequences, Cu/Ti/Si and Ti/Cu/Si, were deposited by DC magnetron sputtering technique. X‐ray diffraction technique was used to measure the crystallization structures, and scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy were used to measured surface morphology. The multifractal spectra f(α)‐α was used to characterize the surface morphology. The result of |q|_max ≤ 53 is obtained by multifractal analysis. The shape of the multifractal spectra f(α) ? α is hook‐like for Cu/Ti/Si and bell jar‐like for Ti/Cu/Si. The spectrum width Δα = α_max ? α_min and Δf(=f(α_min) ? f(α_max)) of the multifractal spectra is able to quantitatively analyze the growth and surface roughness of the Cu/Ti bilayer thin films. The surface of Ti/Cu/Si thin film is more uniform and smoother than the film of Cu/Ti/Si. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Studies of cluster anions C n X− (X=N,P, As,Sb, Bi) produced by laser ablation

A series of cluster anions C _n X^? are produced from laser ablation of appropriate samples, where X is selected as a group-VB element. The recorded mass spectra of these cluster anions display a drastic even/odd alternation on ion intensities: For C _n N^?, only anions with oddn can be observed; For C _n P^? and C _n As^?, cluster anions with evenn are produced but with lower signal intensities; For C _n Sb^?, the signal intensity of clusters does not show even/odd alternation; Finally, for C _n Bi^?, the intensities of cluster anions with evenn are higher than those with oddn. This parity effect can be attributed to the linear structure of the cluster anions, and the parity reversal of C _n X^? from C _n N^? to C _n Bi^? can be explained from the electronegativity decreasing of the heteroatom X as it descends in the group. The Hückel model was applied to account the structural feature of these clusters.     

Efficient domino strategy for synthesis of 3-substituted 1,5-dihydro-4H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridin-4-one derivatives

A series of 1,5-dihydro-4H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridin-4-one derivatives with 3-(4-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-pyran-3-yl) groups were synthesized via a one-pot three-component reaction of 4-aminopyridin-2(1H)-ones, 2,2-dihydroxy-1-arylethan-1-ones, and 4-hydroxy-2H-pyran-2-ones in water. This strategy not only provides a valuable tool in the design and synthesis of new hydrogenated pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridines but also has the advantages of inexpensive starting materials, atom and step economy, environmental friendliness, good to excellent yields, and operational simplicity. A total of 14 examples were examined to show a broad substrate scope and high yields.     

Homopolyimides containing both benzimidazole and benzoxazole with high Tg and low coefficient of thermal expansion

A pair of isomer diamines containing both benzimidazole and benzoxazole and derived homopolyimides were synthesized for the first time. Due to rich rigid and linear benzoazole units, as well as the strong intermolecular interactions from the hydrogen bonding and the charge transfer complexation (CTC), the obtained polyimides (PIs) exhibited outstanding thermal properties, including high thermal weight loss temperature (T_d5% = 540–561°C), high glass transition temperature (T_g = 392–421°C), and low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE = 1.3–20.9 ppm/°C). In addition, the obtained PIs also showed ideal mechanical properties (T_S = 189–240 MPa, T_M = 4.1–5.0 GPa and E_B = 2.9%–4.7%). These potential novel PI films with high T_g and low CTE were expected to be applied to next generation of flexible display substrate material.

Selective Oxidation of Methane to Methanol Using Molecular Oxygen on MoOx／（LaCoO3＋Co3O4） Catalysts

Comparatively high CH3OH selectivity (60.0%) and yield (6.7%) were obtained on MoOx/(LaCoO3 Co3O4) catalysts in selective oxidation of methane to methanol using molecular oxygen as oxidant. The interaction between MoOx and La-Co-oxide modified the molecular structure of molybdenum oxide and the ratio of O^-/O^2- on the catalyst surface, which controlled the catalytic performance of MoOx/(LaCoO3 Co3O4) catalysts.     

Towards Single-component Molecular Conductor [Ni(dmit)_2] by Charge Disproportionation:2[Ni(dmit)_2]~(-0.5)[Ni(dmit)_2]+[Ni(dmit)_2]~-

It was commonly thought that a molecular conductor or semiconductor should be composed of at least two components to make the conducting component in partially charged state. However, this idea became questionable by the recent report of the single-component molecular conductor [Ni(tmdt)2]1 as well as several reports about single-component molecular semiconductors such as [Ni(ptdt)2]2 and [Ni(C10H10S8)2]3. In fact, as early as 1985, [Ni(dmit)2] as a by-product in synthesizing TTF[Ni(dmit…     

Electrochemical study on the keto-enol tautomerization of p-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid in aqueous solution

The keto-enol tautomerization of p-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid (pHPP) in aqueous solutions and the complexation reaction between enolic pHPP and boric acid have been studied by electrochemical techniques including linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), pulse voltammetry, and cyclic voltammetry (CV), combining with UV spectrometry. Electrochemical techniques reveal that in aqueous solution, there are two tautomers of pHPP: enolic form and ketonic form; the former exists mainly in freshly prepared pHPP solution, and the latter exists mainly in equilibrium solution. Both enolic and ketonic pHPP are electroactive. The electrochemical oxidation of enolic pHPP gives rise to two anodic waves, I(a) and II(a), while the electrochemical oxidation of ketonic pHPP only results in the observation of the second wave II(a). The oxidation process I(a) is revealed to be associated with the quasi-reversible, two-electron two-proton oxidation of "C=C"group at the side chain of enolic pHPP, and the oxidation process II(a) is proposed to result from the irreversible oxidation of phenolic hydroxyl group. It is observed that in aqueous solution, enolic pHPP can quickly complex with boric acid to yield enol-borate complex that can also oxidize at a glassy carbon electrode to yield an anodic wave.
