We report the synthesis of a series of block copolymers consisting of a rod‐like semiconducting poly(2,5‐di(2′‐ethylhexyloxy)‐1,4‐phenylenevinylene) (DEH‐PPV) block and a flexible poly(lactic acid) (PLA) block that can be selectively degraded under mild conditions. Such selectively degradable block copolymers are designed as self‐assembling templates for bulk heterojunction donor–acceptor layers in organic solar cells. A lamellar microphase‐separated domain structure was identified for block copolymers with PLA volume fractions between 29 and 79% in bulk and thin films using SAXS, TEM, and AFM. Depending on the ratio of the two blocks we find either lamellae oriented parallel or perpendicular to the substrate in thin films.
This paper describes the functionalization of oxidized boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes with N-(3-trimethoxysilylpropyl)pyrrole (TMPP) and the influence of this layer on the electrochemical transfer kinetics as well as on the possibility of forming strongly adhesive polypyrrole films on the BDD interface through electropolymerization. Furthermore, localized polymer formation was achieved on the TMPP-modified BDD interface using the direct mode of a scanning electrochemical microscope (SECM) as well as an electrochemical scanning near-field optical microscope (E-SNOM). Depending on the method used polypyrrole dots with diameters in the range of 1-250 microm are electrogenerated. 相似文献
Employing the over-expressed highly organic solvent tolerant alcohol dehydrogenase ADH-'A' from Rhodococcus ruber DSM 44541, versatile building blocks, which were not accessible by the wild type catalyst, were obtained in > 99% e.e.; furthermore, employing d8-2-propanol as deuterium source, stereoselective biocatalytic deuterium transfer was made feasible to furnish enantiopure deuterium labeled sec-alcohols on a preparative scale employing a single enzyme. 相似文献
We recently demonstrated how the aerobic addition of acetic acid to N,N′-bis(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylidene)-1,2-cyclohexane-diamino CoII, [Co(1)], leads to the formation of an unusual coordinated CoIII-phenoxyl radical. In this work, some of the structural aspects associated with the Schiff-base-derived ligand (1) that are crucial for the acid-mediated formation of the phenoxyl radical are investigated. For comparison with [Co(1)], we therefore studied the influence of acetic acid on two complexes: (1) the N,N′-bis(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylidene)-1,2-ethane-diamino CoII complex, [Co(2)], that lacks the cyclohexyl group of [Co(1)], and (2) the N′-disalicylidene-ethylenediamine CoII salen complex, [Co(3)], that lacks both the tertiary butyl groups and the cyclohexyl groups. It is shown that the cyclohexyl group of [Co(1)] is not involved in the formation or stabilization of the phenoxyl radical, whereas the tertiary butyl groups of [Co(1)] play a crucial role. In addition, the characteristics of the phenoxyl radical, formed after aerobic addition of acetic acid to [Co(2)], are analyzed in detail by pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance, in combination with isotopic labeling. The experimental data are compared to density functional theory computations and to previous data on the acid-mediated phenoxyl radical of [Co(1)]. 相似文献
In this article, we study height four graded Gorenstein ideals I in k[x, y, z, w] such that I2 is of height one and generated by three quadrics. After a suitable linear change of variables, I ∩ k[x, y, z] is either Gorenstein or of type two. The former case was studied by Iarrobino and Srinivasan [8

Understanding the impact of root architecture on plant resource efficiency is important, in particular, in the light of upcoming shortages of mineral fertilizers and changed environmental conditions. In the 1950s, a great number of root systems of European cultivated plants were excavated and studied by L. Kutschera (1960). Her work gave enormous insight into the variety of root system architectures and helped to realize the importance of belowground processes to plant productivity. We analysed the resulting hand drawings by using mathematical modelling and found root system parameters for a newly developed parametric L-System model. In this way we were able to first reproduce the illustrations, second computationally analyse root system traits and finally access the dynamic root architecture development. 相似文献
A series of potentially useful lithium amidinates and guanidinates were prepared and fully characterized. Treatment of N,N′‐diisopropylcarbodiimide with phenyllithium in diethyl ether afforded the lithium amidinate [PhC(NiPr)2Li(OEt2)]2 ( 1 ). Similar treatment of N,N′‐diorganocarbodiimides R′–N=C=N–R′ [R′ = iPr, cyclohexyl (Cy)] with secondary lithium amides LiNR2 [R2 = Et2, iPr2, (CH2)4] followed by crystallization from THF or 1,4‐dioxane gave the lithium guanidinates [R2NC(NR′)2Li(S)]2 [ 2 : R = Et, R′ = iPr, S = THF; 3 : R2 = (CH2)4, R′ = iPr, S = THF; 4 : R = R′ = iPr, S = ½ 1,4‐dioxane; 5 : R2 = (CH2)4, R′ = Cy, S = 1,4‐dioxane] as crystalline solids. Reaction of N‐lithioaziridine with the corresponding carbodiimides afforded solvent‐deficient [{C2H4NC(NiPr2)2}2Li2(THF)]2 ( 6 ), and [C2H4NC(NEt)(NtBu)Li(THF)]2 ( 7 ). Crystal structure determination revealed the presence of common ladder‐type dimeric structures for 1 – 5 . Compound 6 exists as a dimer of two ladder‐type dimers in the crystal, and 7 exhibits an unusual dimeric structure comprising an eight‐membered C2N4Li2 ring. 相似文献
New homoleptic complexes of selected rare‐earth elements containing the unsymmetrically substituted amidinate ligand [MeC(NEt)(NtBu)]– [= (L)–] were synthesized and fully characterized. Treatment of in situ‐prepared Li(L) ( 1 ) with anhydrous lanthanide(III) chlorides, LnCl3 (Ln = Sc, La, Ce, Ho), afforded three different types of amidinate complexes depending on the ionic radius of the central metal atom. The large La3+ formed the octa‐coordinate DME solvate La(L)3(DME) ( 2 ). Using Ce3+, the octa‐coordinate “ate” complex Li(THF)[Ce(L)4] ( 3 ) was formed. Depending on the crystallization conditions, compound 3 could be crystallized in two modifications differing in the coordination environment around Li. In the case of the smaller Sc3+ and Ho3+ ions, six‐coordinate homoleptic Sc(L)3 ( 4 ) and Ho(L)3 ( 5 ) were isolated. The title compounds were fully characterized by spectroscopic and analytical methods as well as single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. With Ln = La and Ce, several by‐products incorporating lithium, chlorine and/or oxygen were also isolated and structurally characterized. 相似文献
