Self-focusing in two-color collinear optical Kerr measurements

We performed the femtosecond two-color collinear optical Kerr shutter (OKS) measurements in a thick Kerr medium. The time-resolved OKS signals showed a multi-peak structure and a large broadening with respect to that for non-collinear. By measuring the time-resolved OKS signals in the sample at different powers, we demonstrated that the abnormal profile of the OKS signals was mainly attributed to self-focusing and re-focusing of the pump beam in the Kerr medium and the group velocity difference between the pump and the probe beams.     

Corrigendum to “Highly effective and enantioselective phospho-Aldol reaction of diphenyl phosphite with N-alkylated isatins catalyzed by quinine” [Tetrahedron Lett. 52 (2011) 1157-1160]

In our recent published Letter entitled ‘Highly effective and enantioselective Phospho-Aldol reaction of diphenyl phosphite with N-alkylated isatins catalyzed by quinine’, there was an inaccurate structural determination of the final product. We report here the correction of the structure via X-ray diffraction of the single crystal. The product should be α-oxindole-phosphonate, which was derived from the subsequent phospha-Brook rearrangement of the normal phospho-Aldol product.     

Synthesis and fluorescence properties of dysprosium‐coordinated with high‐Tg polyaryletherketones containing carboxyl side groups

A series of novel dysprosium coordination polymers were synthesized using new high‐T_g carboxyl‐containing polyaryletherketones (PEKs) as macromolecular ligands and a small molecule, 1,10‐phenanthroline, as co‐ligand. The FTIR, WAXD, and UV–Vis results indicated that the dysprosium ions were coordinated simultaneously with carboxyl group of PEKs and 1,10‐phenanthroline, and homogeneously distributed along the polymer backbone. These obtained dysprosium coordination polymers showed excellent film‐formation properties. Moreover, all the dysprosium coordination polymers could exhibit the intense characteristic emission of dysprosium ions under UV excitation. Meanwhile, the emission intensity increased with increasing dysprosium ion content, and no obvious fluorescence quenching happened at the Dy³⁺ ion content up to 10.71 wt%, which was attributed to the very rigid structure of PEK and synergistic coordination effect of PEK and 1,10‐phenanthroline.

Crystal Structure of 2-[(P,P-Diphenoxy)phosphono(p-methyl)benzyl]-1, 2-benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one

The crystal structure of the title compound 2-[(P, P-Diphenoxy)phosphono(p-methyl)benzyl]-1, 2-benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one, C27H22NO4PSe, was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P(No. 2) with Mr=534.41, a=9.761(2), b=10.304(2), c=13.396(3), α=110.97(3), β=107.70(3). γ=90.02(3)°, V=1190(1) 3, Z=2, Dx=1.492 g/cm3, λ=0.71073, μ=1.6596 mm-1 and F(000)=544. The structure was solved by direct methods. The final R factor is 0.068 and Rw is 0.074 for 2500 unique observed reflections [I≥3σ(I)]. The results presented herein indicate that the selenium-containing bicyclic moiety is a coplanar structure and that two adjacent molecules are symmetrically linked to each other forming a dimer through the Se(1c)...O=P(1) bonding interaction with an intermolecular Se(1c)...O distance of 2.797 .

Criteria for Feller transition functions

This paper presents some conditions for the minimal Q-function to be a Feller transition function, for a given q-matrix Q. We derive a sufficient condition that is stated explicitly in terms of the transition rates. Furthermore, some necessary and sufficient conditions are derived of a more implicit nature, namely in terms of properties of a system of equations (or inequalities) and in terms of the operator induced by the q-matrix. The criteria lead to some perturbation results. These results are applied to birth-death processes with killing, yielding some sufficient and some necessary conditions for the Feller property directly in terms of the rates. An essential step in the analysis is the idea of associating the Feller property with individual states.     

Efficient Electrocatalytic Reduction of CO2 by Nitrogen-Doped Nanoporous Carbon/Carbon Nanotube Membranes: A Step Towards the Electrochemical CO2 Refinery

Herein we introduce a straightforward, low cost, scalable, and technologically relevant method to manufacture an all-carbon, electroactive, nitrogen-doped nanoporous-carbon/carbon-nanotube composite membrane, dubbed “HNCM/CNT”. The membrane is demonstrated to function as a binder-free, high-performance gas diffusion electrode for the electrocatalytic reduction of CO₂ to formate. The Faradaic efficiency (FE) for the production of formate is 81 %. Furthermore, the robust structural and electrochemical properties of the membrane endow it with excellent long-term stability.     

Studies on PNPP Hydrolysis Catalyzed by Divalent Metal Ion Macrocyclic Schiff Base Complexes in Micellar Solution

Two transitional metal ion macrocyclic Schiff base complexes, NiL and CuL were synthesized and characterized, and the metallomicelles made up of the nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes and surfactants(LSS, Brij35, CTAB), as mimic hydrolytic metalloenzyme, were used in catalytic hydrolysis of carboxylic ester (PNPP). The analysis of specific absorption spectrums of the hydrolytic reaction systems indicates that key intermediates, made up of PNPP and Ni(II) or Cu(II) complexes, have formed in the reaction processes of the PNPP catalytic hydrolysis. In this, based on the analytic result of specific absorption spectrum, the mechanism of PNPP catalytic hydrolysis has been proposed; a kinetic mathematical model, applied to the calculation of the kinetic parameter of PNPP catalytic hydrolysis has been established on the foundation of the mechanism proposed; the acid effect of reaction system, structure effect of the complexes, effect of temperature and effects of micelle on the rate of PNPP hydrolysis catalyzed by the complexes also have been discussed.
