Siliciumfunktionelle Schwefel(IV)diimide

New functional silylated sulfur(IV) diimides are prepared from N,N′-bis-(trimethylsilyl) sulfur(IV) diimide and polyfunctional halosilanes by transsilylation. The products are relatively unstable and in some cases their isolation was not possible. Some chemical and physical properties of the new compounds are described.     

Image-potential states on stepped Cu (001) surfaces

Image-potential states on Cu (117) and Cu (119) surfaces were studied by means of two-photon photoelectron spectroscopy. The regular array of steps generates a lateral potential on the vicinal surfaces, which modifies the surface-electronic structure. Compared to Cu (001), the band bottom of the n=1 image-potential states shifts by 40 meV to lower binding energy. The periodicity of the step-induced superlattice manifests itself as back-folding of the n=1 and 2 dispersion bands. At the surface Brillouin zone boundary a mini-gap opens with a width of 135 meV for the first image-potential state on Cu (117). On the vicinal surfaces the lifetime of the image-potential states is reduced by a factor of three as compared to Cu (001). This is attributed to a narrowing of the surface-projected bulk-band gap when projected along the [11n] direction. While the dephasing rate of the first image-potential state is close to the decay rate, higher members of the Rydberg-like series show negligible dephasing.

Darstellung und eigenschaften germaniumfunktioneller phosphinimine

A series of germanium-functional phosphine imines has been prepared by the reaction of N-trimethylsilyl, N-trimethylgermyl, or N-trimethylstannylphosphine imines with halogermanes. The resulting products are not in every case stable covalently bonded monomers. In secondary reactions many of these compounds dimerize to form covalent or ionic four-membered ring systems. The factors which determine the final structure are discussed. From N-trimethylsilylphosphine imines and diiododimethylgermane only simple adducts could be obtained.     

Effects of Adsorbed Polyaniline on Redox Processes on As(2)O(3) Surfaces

Polyaniline deposited on As(2)O(3) surface resulted in a new material, which was characterized by infrared spectoscopy, thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and cyclic voltammetry. The mass percentage of polymer deposited on oxide surface is approximately 13%. The scanning electron microscopy images as well as the X-ray diffraction patterns provided conclusive evidence that the oxide surface is coated by the polymer. The cyclic voltammograms of the polyaniline adsorbed on As(2)O(3) surface showed that the adsorbate exerts remarkable effects on redox processes on this oxide. The pure oxide exhibited two oxidation/reduction peaks at 0.25/-0.06 and 0.47/-0.25 V attributed tentatively to the processes As(2)O(3)(s)+6H(+)+6e(-)=2As(s)+3H(2)O and As(s)+3H(+)+3e(-)=AsH(3)(g), respectively. The polyaniline-coated sample exhibited a better-defined voltammogram in which the first oxidation peak of the oxide had its intensity increased about four times. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.     

Spin-orbit hybridization points in the face-centered-cubic cobalt band structure

Linear magnetic dichroism is observed in spin-, time-, and energy-resolved two-photon photoemission from valence bands of epitaxial fcc cobalt on Cu(001). With image-potential states as spectator states we identify initial bulk and surface states with minority spin character as the source for dichroic intensities and apparent dichroic lifetimes. Excellent agreement with ab initio fully relativistic calculations of the cobalt fcc band structure allows us to precisely determine spin-orbit hybridization points close to the Fermi level. These spin hot spots enhance spin-flip scattering by several orders of magnitude and are therefore assumed to be crucial in ultrafast demagnetization.     

End‐group composition of poly(3‐hexylthiophene)s prepared by in situ quenching of the grignard metathesis polymerization: Influence of additives and reaction conditions

The ability to prepare well‐defined semiconducting polymers is essential for understanding the link between structure and function in organic photovoltaic devices. A general, one‐pot method for altering the degree of functionality of end‐functionalized poly(3‐hexylthiophene)s (P3HT) prepared by Grignard metathesis (GRIM) polymerization has been developed. In the absence of additives, the degree of functionality of end‐functional P3HTs prepared by quenching of the GRIM polymerization with a Grignard reagent is dependent on the Grignard reagent utilized. In this study, additives such as styrene and 1‐pentene are shown to alter the end‐group composition of tolyl‐functionalized P3HTs as determined by Matrix‐assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time‐of‐flight Mass Spectrometry. In particular, when quenching the GRIM polymerization with tolylmagnesium bromide, a modest decrease in the difunctional product is observed, and the yield of the monofunctional product increases significantly. Temperature and lithium chloride (LiCl) addition also play impactful roles. Monofunctional P3HT is found to be the major product (72% abundance) when the functionalization is done in the presence of LiCl and styrene at 0 °C, whereas in the absence of additives the monofunctional product is present at only 11% abundance. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
