Gallium(III)-catalyzed tandem cycloisomerization/Friedel–Crafts alkylation: a facile synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted furans

A tandem cycloisomerization/Friedel–Crafts alkylation of indoles has been achieved in a one-pot process to produce 2,5-disubstituted furans using gallium-catalyzed sequential nucleophilic addition onto metal-activated 1-alkynyl-2,3-epoxy acetates. The reaction proceeds efficiently under mild conditions with complete regioselectivity to afford the substituted furan derivatives in good yields with high diversity.     

Growth of single crystals of copper and their thermal profile estimation

Copper crystals have been grown by Czochralski technique in a 6-bar argon gas environment. X-ray analysis shows that these are single crystals and are strain-free. A slight pressure environment that is truly hydrostatic seems to improve the quality of the crystals. Thermal profile estimation results show that the values of temperature which decrease upto the neck region are same in magnitude as those measured during the experiments and that necking improves the thermal profile and, consequently, the crystal quality. No facet formation has been observed in these crystals.     

2.0μm附近模拟呼吸气体中~(13)CO_2/~(12)CO_2同位素丰度的高精度实时在线测量

采用可调谐二极管激光吸收光谱技术,结合一新型多通池搭建了一套模拟呼吸气体中CO_2同位素丰度的测量装置.气体的压强、温度和流速被很好地控制且均能保持长期的稳定性;采用三次多项式拟合光谱基线,对光谱进行归一化,很好地消除了功率变化对测量结果的影响;利用移窗-回归技术消除频率漂移对同位素丰度测量的影响.实验结果表明:移窗-回归法的引入不仅延长了系统的稳定时间,还提高了系统的测量精度;小波去噪的应用获得了比多光谱平均法高2倍的信噪比;系统的稳定时间为100 s;Kalman滤波后系统测量精度为0.067‰.     

K α L 1 satellite multiplet structure of photon-excited chlorine atoms

Summary An attempt is made to study theK _α L ¹ satellite multiplet structure of chlorine atoms in different compounds by photon excitation. A comparison of the averageK _α L ¹ group energy shift from the diagram line with those based on Dirac-Fock evaluations with different number ofM-shell electrons shows a reasonable agreement. The intensity ratios are found to be higher than those studied in Mg compounds in general.     

K X-ray fluorescence cross-sections for some light elements excited by keV photons

K and K X-ray fluorescence cross-sections have been experimentally determined for the elements Cu, Se, Y, and Mo at excitation energies 23.62, 24.68, 36.82, 43.95, 48.60, and 50.20keV using an X-ray tube with a secondary exciter system as the excitation source. The X-ray tube with a secondary target arrangement was used to obtain high intensity with high degree of monochromatization. Experimental values were compared with the theoretical values using tabulated I ratios based on Hartree-Fock and Hartree-Slater theories calculated by Scofield. The experimental values for all the elements at various excitation energies are in good agreement with the theoretical values.
