Vibrational Spectroscopy of Stretching and Bending Modes of Nickel Tetraphenyl Porphyrin： an Algebraic Approach

We calculate the vibrational frequencies of nickel tetraphenyl porphyrin for 36 vibrational bands by using the U（2） algebraic approach. The algebraic parameters in the calculations are accurate with the experimental data.     

Enantioselective synthesis of substituted pyrans via amine-catalyzed Michael addition and subsequent enolization/cyclisation

An organocatalytic construction of optically enriched substituted pyran derivatives via amine-catalyzed Michael addition and subsequent enolization/cyclisation has been described starting from electronically poor alkenes. Functionalized pyrans were obtained in high enantioselectivities (up to 96%) and good yields (up to 90%) having three contiguous chiral centers.     

Stereoselective synthesis of o-bromo (or iodo)aryl P-chirogenic phosphines based on aryne chemistry

The efficient synthesis of chiral or achiral tertiary phosphines bearing an o-bromo (or iodo)aryl substituent is described. The key step of this synthesis is based on the reaction of a secondary phosphine borane with the 1,2-dibromo (or diiodo)arene, owing to the formation in situ of an aryne species in the presence of n-butyllithium. When P-chirogenic secondary phosphine boranes were used, the corresponding o-halogeno-arylphosphine boranes were obtained without racemization in moderate to good yields and with ee up to 99%. The stereochemistry of the reaction, with complete retention of the configuration at the P atom, has been established by X-ray structures of P-chirogenic o-halogenophenyl phosphine borane complexes. The decomplexation of the borane was easily achieved without racemization using DABCO to obtain the free o-halogeno-arylphosphines in high yields.     

Photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate using a combination of rhodamine 6G and benzoyl peroxide as photoinitiator in nonaqueous media

Photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) in visible light was studied at 40°C using Rhodamine 6G—Benzoyl peroxide combination as photoinitiator. The photopolymerization proceeds by a free radical mechanism and the radical generation process occurs by an initial complexation reaction between the initiator components. Kinetic data indicated a lower-order dependence of R_p on initiator concentrations (initiator exponent < 0.5). Initiator-dependent chain termination was significant along with the bimolecular mode of chain termination.     

Effect of annealing on structural and optical properties of diamond-like nanocomposite thin films

The annealing effect on structural and optical properties of the Diamond-like Nanocomposite (DLN) thin film deposited on glass substrate by Plasma Assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition (PACVD) method has been investigated. The films were annealed at temperature ranging from 300 to 600 °C, with 100 °C interval for 9 minutes by rapid thermal process (RTP) under vacuum. The structural changes of the annealed films have been studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and optical parameters have been determined using transmittance and reflectance spectra in UV-UIS-NIR range. The result shows that the refractive index increases gradually from 1.79 to 2.84 with annealing temperature due to out-diffusion of H by breaking Si–H and C–H bond leads to Si–C bond, i.e. more cross linking structure. In higher temperature range, graphitization also enhanced the refractive index. However, the optical band gap at up to 400 °C initially increases from 3.05 to 3.20 eV and then decreases due to graphitization. The film has a great potential to be used as anti-reflection coating (ARC) on silicon-based solar cell.     

Neutrino masses in supersymmetry: R-parity and leptogenesis

In the supersymmetric standard model of particle interactions, R-parity nonconservation is often invoked to obtain nonzero neutrino masses. We point out here that such interactions of the supersymmetric particles would erase any pre-existing lepton or baryon asymmetry of the universe before the electroweak phase transition through the B+L violating sphaleron processes. We also point out that all models of radiative generation of neutrino masses suffer from the same problem. We then show how neutrino masses may be obtained in supersymmetry (assuming R-parity conservation) together with successful leptogenesis and predict the possible existence of new observable particles.     

High Resolution Scanning Tunneling Microscopy of a 1D Coordination Polymer with Imidazole‐Based N,N,O Ligands on HOPG

Novel κ³‐N,N,O ligands tend to form 1D coordination polymer strands. Deposition of 1D structures on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) was achieved from diluted solutions and polymer strands have been studied on HOPG by AFM/STM. Single strands were mapped by STM and their electronic properties were subsequently characterized by current imaging tunneling spectroscopy (CITS). Periodic density functional calculations simulating a polymer strand deposited on a HOPG surface are in agreement with the zig‐zag structure indicated by experimental findings. Both the observed periodicity and the Zn–Zn distances can be reproduced in the simulations. Van der Waals interactions were found to play a major role for the geometry of the isolated polymer strand, for the adsorption geometry on HOPG, as well as for the adsorption energy.     

Kinetics and mechanism of the reaction betweencis-dichlorobisbipyridineruthenium(II) and nitric acid in water-methanol solutions

Summary The kinetics of the reaction betweencis-dichlorobisbipyridineruthenium(II) and nitric acid have been investigated spectrophotometrically in the 25°–40° range in the presence of 0.03 to 0.2 mol dm^–3 HNO₃. The reaction proceeds with the stepwise formation of monoaqua and diaqua products. Only the formation of the monoaqua intermediate was followed as this species could not be obtained in a pure state. Aquation proceeds through a dissociative process. The second order rate constants are 11.8 (25°), 17.5 (30°); 30.0 (35°) l mol^–1 s^–1. Activation parameters are H 52±3 kJ mol^–1; S–108±8 JK^–1 mol^–1.
