Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of nucleation and growth in electrodeposition

Nucleation and growth during bulk electrodeposition is studied using kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations. Ion transport in solution is modeled using Brownian dynamics, and the kinetics of nucleation and growth are dependent on the probabilities of metal-on-substrate and metal-on-metal deposition. Using this approach, we make no assumptions about the nucleation rate, island density, or island distribution. The influence of the attachment probabilities and concentration on the time-dependent island density and current transients is reported. Various models have been assessed by recovering the nucleation rate and island density from the current-time transients.

Pseudolarolides O ( 1 ) and P ( 2 ), two novel triterpenoids with a cycloartane‐type framework, were isolated from the seeds of Pseudolarix kaempferi Gord. (Pinaceae). Their structures were elucidated as (16R,23S,25R)‐16,23‐epoxy‐3,4 : 9,10‐disecocycloartan‐1(10),9(11)‐diene‐3(4),26(23)‐diolide ( 1 ), and (9S,16R,23S,25R)‐1,9 : 16,23‐diepoxy‐8,9 : 9,10‐disecocycloartan‐1(29),5(6),10(19)‐triene‐3(4),26(23)‐diolide ( 2 ), respectively, on the basis of spectroscopic techniques and X‐ray‐diffraction studies.

The reactions of CpRu(dppf)Cl (1) with the sulfur-containing ligands, thiophenol HSPh, 2-mercaptopyridine C₅H₄N(SH), thiourea SC(NH₂)₂, vinylene trithiocarbonate SCS(CH)₂S and ethylene trithiocarbonate SCS(CH₂)₂S, yielded chloro-substituted derivatives, viz. the mono-ruthenium(II) complexes CpRu(dppf)(SPh) (2), [CpRu(dppf)(SC₅H₄NH)]BPh₄ (3)BPh₄, [CpRu(dppf)(SC(NH₂)₂]PF₆ (4)PF₆, [CpRu(dppf)(SCS(CH)₂S)]Cl (5)Cl and [CpRu(dppf)(SCS(CH₂)₂S)]Cl (6)Cl, respectively. Treatment of 1 with AuCl(SMe₂) in the presence of NH₄PF₆ gave [(CpRu(dppf)(SMe₂)]PF₆ (7)PF₆. The reaction of 1 or 6 with SnCl₂ resulted in cleavage of chloro and dithiocarbonate ligands, respectively, to give CpRu(dppf)SnCl₃ (8). All complexes were spectroscopically characterized and the structures of 2 and cationic complexes 4-7 were determined by single-crystal diffraction analyses.

一氧化氮选择还原锡锆固溶体催化剂的结构特性

采用双股并流共沉淀方法制备了SnO2含量从10％至90％的锡锆体系DeNOx催化剂,用XRD、微区电子衍射、FT-Raman及FT-IR等技术深入研究了锡锆体系氧化物的结构及其随组成的变化规律.结果表明，由于Sn4＋与Zr4＋离子半径接近,SnO2与ZrO2易于形成固溶体,并随组成变化表现出不同的结构特征.纯ZrO2为单斜相,当少量Sn4＋（SnO2 ≤ 20％）进入ZrO2晶格时形成四方相富锆固溶体,Sn4＋起到稳定ZrO2四方相的作用;随着SnO2含量的增大,结构从无定形或微晶态的富锆固溶体(含SnO2 30～50％)经富锆固溶体与金红石结构的富锡固溶体在55％ SnO2含量的共存状态变化到具有金红石结构的富锡固溶体（SnO2 ≥ 60％）.FT-Raman和FT-IR光谱测试证明,Zr进入SnO2晶格使得Sn－O键的结合减弱,Sn离子上的有效正电荷减小,降低了SnO2对丙烯的燃烧能力,从而提高了对NO的还原活性.     

Structural effects in electron transfer reactions: comparative interfacial electrochemical kinetics for cis- versus trans-dioxorhenium(V)(bi)pyridine oxidation

The comparative interfacial oxidation kinetics of the approximate structural isomers trans-(O)₂Re^V(py)⁺₄ and cis-(O)₂Re^V(bpy)(py)⁺₂ (py, pyridine; bpy, 2,2′-bipyridine) have been assessed in aqueous solution via conventional cyclic voltammetry at a highly ordered pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) electrode. HOPG was employed because of its known propensity to diminish interfacial electron transfer (ET) rates (by ca. three to four orders of magnitude) and because of a probable lack of importance of kinetic work terms (diffuse double-layer corrections). Measured rates for the trans complex exceed those for the cis by about a factor of 3. Expressed as an effective activation Gibbs energy difference ΔG^*, this corresponds to a cis-trans difference of ca. 3 kJ mol⁻¹. The actual vibrational barriers to ET have determined from a combination of published X-ray structural results (trans complex) and new resonance Raman results (cis complex). The values are 0.6 kJ mol ⁻¹ for the trans oxidation and 4.4 kJ mol⁻¹ for the cis oxidation (i.e. close to the barrier difference inferred from rate measurements). Further analysis shows that most of the barrier difference is associated with displacement of a (predominantly) Re-N(bpy) stretching mode found only in the cis system. Differences in metal-oxo displacements (cis > trans) are also implicated.     

2]Catenane assembly from calix[4]arene crown ethers [In Process Citation

A variety of novel calix[4]arene-incorporating crown ethers with or without intramolecular hydrogen bonding have been prepared by two efficient methods and utilized as donor rings to assemble calix[4]arene [2]catenanes based on pi-stacking interaction between hydroquinone and bipyridinium units. Treatment of calix[4]arene crown ethers 4, 10a, or 10b, whose cone conformation was fixed by intramolecular hydrogen bonding within the calix[4]arene moiety, with dicationic salt 15 x 2PF6 and dibromide 16 afforded the corresponding [2]catenanes 17a x 4PF6, 17b x 4PF6, and 17c x 4PF6 in 20%, 53%, and 55% yields, respectively, whereas from the reactions of 15 x 2PF6 and dibromide 16 in the presence of conformationally flexible 11 or 12 with a cone conformation kept by two propyl groups, [2]catenanes 18 x 4PF6 and 19 x 4PF6 were obtained in 12% and 6% yields. [2]Catenanes 21a x 4Cl, 21b x 4Cl, and 21c x 4Cl, incorporating calix[4]arene in both the donor and acceptor rings, were also successfully assembled from 10a or 10b, 16, and dicationic salts 20a x 2PF6 or 20b x 2PF6. The dynamic 1H NMR and absorption spectra of the [2]catenanes have been investigated, which revealed a strongest donor-acceptor interaction in 17a x 4PF6 and that the cone [2]catenanes 17a-c x 4PF6 can isomerize to the partial cone isomer at high temperature. The difference of the dynamic properties of these catenanes was discussed. The results demonstrate that catenation is one new general method to change the conformational distributions of calix[4]arenes.
