Micro-emulsion synthesis of monodisperse surface stabilized silicon nanocrystals

Silicon nanocrystals with a uniform size distribution were synthesized in inverse micelles using powerful hydride reducing agents. The silicon nanocrystals surfaces were then stabilized with 1-heptene to produce particles with strong blue photoluminescence.     

Pressure effect on adhesion

Zusammenfassung Unter der Voraussetzung von Verknüpfungen wird die Anfangsgeschwindigkeit der Adhäsion untersucht.Wenn Epoxyharz-Aminsysteme als Klebstoff gebraucht werden, ist die Beziehung zwischen Härtezeit und Anfangs-Bindefestigkeit theoretisch wie folgt gegeben:S(t)/S(t ₀ )=t+1. Dabei sindS(t) undS(t ₀) die Klebefestigkeit nach den Härtezeitent bzw.t ₀ ist ein Maß für das Ansteigen der Verknüpfungen, t=t–t₀.Die Beziehung zwischen Härtungsdruck und Verhältnis der Klebfestigkeiten lautet lnS(p)/S(p ₀ )=ln+·p. Wieder sind die Werte der FestigkeitenS aufp bzw.p ₀ auf die Drucke bezogen. und sind Konstanten.Die experimentellen Ergebnisse für das Kleben von Kupfer mit Epoxyharz-Aminsystemen bestätigen diese theoretischen Voraussagen.

Stable isobenzofuran endoperoxide and its use for oxidation of olefins ans aromatic compounds

1,3-Di-tert-butylisobenzofuran reacts with singlet oxygen with rate constant of 2.8 x 10⁹ M^?1 sec^?1 to give stable endoperoxide $\text{4}$. Thermolysis of the endopepoxide ($\text{4}$) in the ppesence of norbornene and naphthalene gave the corrpesponding epoxide and naphthols, respectively. Addition of Pd(OAc)₂ improved the yield of naphtols considepably.     

Study of traditional Chinese animal drugs using FT-IR and 2D-IR correlation spectroscopy

Using FT-IR and 2D-IR correlation spectroscopy, the intensity changes and their sequence of amide I and II bands of four traditional Chinese animal drugs (Cornu Cervi Pantotrichum, Cornu Saigae Tataricae, Scorpio and Hirud) under thermal perturbation are studied, and component of Ca(3)(PO(4))(2) in the drug of Cornu Cervi Pantotrichum and sulfates components in the drug of scorpion are identified. The drug of Cornu Cervi Pantotrichum contains inorganic salt Ca(3)(PO(4))(2) and the drug of Scorpio contains sulfates. It is assigned that the bands of 604 and 561 cm(-1) belong to the component of Ca(3)(PO(4))(2), and the bands of 637 and 615 cm(-1) belong to sulfates. Organic components of these drugs respond to the thermal perturbation far stronger than that of the inorganic components. The intensities of amide I and II bands in the drugs, except for amide II band in drug Scorpio, change strongly. For the drugs of Cornu Cervi Pantotrichum, Cornu Saigae Tataricae and Hirudo, the intensity changes of amide II band occurs prior to that of amide I band. The C-N bond in the product operator(3)(4) conjugative system converts from double bond to single bond, but the C=O bond remains double bond during the heating process. On the other hand, amide II vibrations, which may involve much more of the hydrogen bonded local structures of amide groups in the system compared to the C=O dominated amide I vibration, may undergo thermally induced changes at a temperature much lower than the other mode. The traditional Chinese animal drugs can be identified rapidly and non-separately by using FT-IR and 2D-IR correlation spectroscopy.     

3+2] cross-coupling reactions of aziridines with isocyanates catalyzed by nickel(II) iodide

[reaction: see text]. Cycloaddition of aziridines with isocyanates proceeded smoothly in the presence of a nickel catalyst, and five iminooxazolidine derivatives were isolated in good yields. The best result was obtained when the reaction was carried out in the presence of NiI2, and a longer reaction time allowed the isomerization of the iminooxazolidine to the corresponding imidazolidinone derivatives.     

A theoretical study of the dielectric solvent effect on vicinal spin coupling constants

The dielectric solvent effect on HCCH, HCNH and HCNC spin coupling constants in ethane, tetrachloroethane and trans N-methylformamide has been calculated by finite perturbation theory based on the INDO and CNDO/2 approximations incorporating solvaton theory. The available experimental data are interpreted using the calculated variations of spin coupling constants. The effect of dielectric constant on the general form of the Karplus relation is included in the finite perturbation calculations.     

On the use of methyl substituted poly(vinylnaphthalene) as a reversible singlet oxygen carrier

Poly(1,4-dimethyl-6-vinylnaphthalene) and poly(1,2,4-trimethyl-6-vinylnaphthalene) react with singlet oxygen to give corresponding endoperoxide polymers which on warming generate singlet oxygen efficiently. Singlet oxygenations by the use of these polymers have been described.     

Preparation of α-trialkylsilyl ketones from α-phenylseleno derivatives via their silyl enol ethers

On treatment with metallic lithium in the presence of dimethylaminonaphthalene, trialkylsilyl enol ethers of α-phenylseleno ketones were converted into the corresponding α-trialkylsilyl ketones in good yields.
