Polymerization of Acrolein by Imidazole

Polymerization of acrolein(AL) in the presence of imidazole(Im) has been investigated in tetrahydrofuran or methanol below room temperature. The polymers obtained, white or pale yellow powders, were found to be composed of vinyl polymer with one Im group attached and having an aldehyde side chain, of which 70–80 mole % of the aldehyde revealed bridge structure. The number-average molecular weight (M _n) of these polymers was determined to be in the range of 317 to 691. The rate of polmerization R_p was expressed by the equation, R + k[Im] [AL]².

The addition of water or dimethyl sulfoxide accelerated the polymerization reaction, while the presence of benzaldehyde or N,N'-dimethylformamide decreased R_p. The structure of addition products in the initial polymerization step was confirmed by IR and NMR spectra, and the observations of polymerization system was carried out by UV and NMR spectra. The polymerization mechanisms were discussed on the basis of these results.     

Cubic phases of binary systems of 4′-n-tetradecyloxy-3′-nitrobiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid (ANBC-14)-n-alkane

The phase behaviour of the binary systems 4′- ⁿ -tetradecyloxy-3′-nitrobiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid (ANBC-14)- ⁿ -alkane ( ⁿ -tetradecane or ⁿ -hexadecane) was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The phase behaviour was a function of temperature ( ^T ) and the effective carbon number of the system ( ^n*), where ^n* involves carbon atoms both from the alkoxy group of ANBC-14 and from the ⁿ -alkane added. ANBC-14 shows no cubic phase, but the addition of ⁿ -alkane induced cubic phases when ^n*≧c. 15. An interesting point is that the type of cubic phase is ^Ia 3 ^d for 15^≦n*≦17, while an ^Im 3 ^m type is formed for 18^≦n*≦20. Furthermore, for ^n* = 22, two types of cubic phase, one with ^Im 3 ^m symmetry in the low temperature region and the other with ^Ia 3 ^d in the high temperature region, were observed both on heating and cooling. The phase diagram with respect to ^T and ^n* is very similar to that of pure one-component ANBC- ⁿ , which is a function of ^T and the number of carbon atoms in the alkoxy group ⁿ .     

Synthesis of monodispersed silica nanoparticles with high concentration by the Stöber process

Silica nanoparticles with high concentration were prepared by the sol–gel process based on the Stöber method using tetraethoxysilane as a starting material. It was found that silica sol with about 4 wt% in concentration and with a diameter of about 10 nm was obtained by controlling the reaction conditions in the Stöber process. By removing the solvent under a reduced pressure, the particle concentration was increased up to 15 wt% without aggregation.     

Amine‐Responsive Adaptable Nanospaces: Fluorescent Porous Coordination Polymer for Molecular Recognition

Flexible and dynamic porous coordination polymers (PCPs) with well‐defined nanospaces composed of chromophoric organic linkers provide a scaffold for encapsulation of versatile guest molecules through noncovalent interactions. PCPs thus provide a potential platform for molecular recognition. Herein, we report a flexible 3D supramolecular framework {[Zn(ndc)(o‐phen)]?DMF}_n (o‐phen=1,10‐phenanthroline, ndc=2,6‐napthalenedicarboxylate) with confined nanospaces that can accommodate different electron‐donating aromatic amine guests with selective turn‐on emission signaling. This system serves as a molecular recognition platform through an emission‐readout process. Such unprecedented tunable emission with different amines is attributed to its emissive charge‐transfer (CT) complexation with o‐phen linkers. In certain cases this CT emission is further amplified by energy transfer from the chromophoric linker unit ndc, as evidenced by single‐crystal X‐ray structural characterization.     

146号初等元胞自动机的演化语言的复杂性

Symbolic dynamics of cellular automata is introduced by coarse-graining the temporal evolution orbits. Evolution languages are defined. By using the theory of formal languages and automata, the complexity of evolution languages of the elementary cellular automaton of rule 146 is studied and it is proved that its width 1-evolution language is regular, but for every n ≥ 2 its width n-evolution language is not context-free but context-sensitive. Also, the same results hold for the equivalent （under conjugation） elementary cellular automaton of rule 182.     

Microstructure of metallic copper nanoparticles/metallic disc interface in metal–metal bonding using them

This paper describes a metal–metal bonding technique using metallic Cu nanoparticles prepared in aqueous solution. A colloid solution of metallic Cu particles with a size of 54 ± 15 nm was prepared by reducing Cu²⁺ (0.01 M (CH₃COO)₂Cu) with hydrazine (0.6 M) in the presence of stabilizers (5 × 10^?4 M citric acid and 5 × 10^?3 M cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) in water at room temperature in air. Discs made of metallic materials (Cu, Ni/Cu, or Ag/Ni/Cu) were successfully bonded under annealing at 400 °C and pressurizing at 1.2 MPa for 5 min in H₂ gas with help of the metallic Cu particle powder. Shear strength required for separating the bonded discs was 27.9 ± 3.9 for Cu discs, 28.1 ± 4.1 for Ni/Cu discs, and 13.8 ± 2.6 MPa for Ag/Ni/Cu discs. Epitaxial crystal growth promotes on the discs with a good matching for the lattice constants between metallic nanoparticles and metallic disc surfaces, which leads to strong bonding.

Spin-crossover phenomenon of the assembled iron complexes with 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane as bridging ligand studied by Mössbauer spectroscopy

The transition temperatures between high- and low-spin states of the assembled spin-crossover complexes, Fe(NCX)₂(bpa)₂(guest) (X = S, Se, BH₃; bpa = 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane; guest = biphenyl, 2-nitrobiphenyl, diphenylmethane, or 1,4-dichlorobenzene), were compared with the Mössbauer parameters. The transition temperature increases when the QS value of Fe^II high-spin state becomes small. The transition temperature also increases by changing the anion from NCS to NCSe and then to NCBH₃.
