Monooxygen transfer potential of the transannular ozonide of 9-tert-butyl-10-methylanthracene

The efficiency of oxygen transfer from the transannular ozonide 1 to several organic substrates was investigated. The efficiency was estimated to be as high as 90% in the case of Ph₃P as the substrate.     

Novel oxy-perfluoroalkylation

(Perfluoroalkyl)phenyliodonium sulfonates underwent novel oxy-perfluoroalkylation with alkenes under oxygen atmosphere in the presence of a base.     

A structure analysis of Ag-adsorbed Si(111) surface by LEED/CMTA

The Ag induced superstructures on the Si(111) surface have been studied by low energy electron diffraction constant momentum transfer averaging (LEED/CMTA) technique. The vertical displacements of the atoms are determined from the analysis of the specularly reflected (00) beam intensities. Unexpected behavior of the Ag atoms is clarified: For the √3 × √3-Ag surface it is verified that the Ag atoms are embedded in the first double layer of Si, leading to a considerable rearrangement of the substrate. In contrast, for the 3 × 1-Ag surface, the Ag atoms are riding on the Si surface and the reconstruction of the substrate is small.     

LEED-AES study of the AuSi(100) system

The system Au/Si(100) has been studied using LEED and AES. Au films grow as Au(111) | Si(100) having six azimuthally rotated orientations at low deposition temperatures below 50°C after the formation of intermediate gold suicide layers. Crystalline gold silicide thin layers are formed on the Au(111) film after heat treatment at 100–400°C. Two types of suicide LEED pattern observed seem to have no correlation with crystallographic data reported on quenched alloy films. Heat treatment over 450°C leads to agglomeration of the film, producing a series of Au-induced superstructures. Heat treatment of the Au film over 1000°C regenerates the clean Si surface accompanied with many etch pits.     

Inelastic effect in low energy ion-surface collisions: He+Au,Ag

Energy distributions of He⁺ ions scattered by Au and Ag surfaces are measured by an ISS system with high energy resolution, at a scattering angle of 90° and at incident ion energies ranging from 277 to 977 eV. It is found that the observed peak energies deviate toward the low energy side by several electron-volts with respect to the calculated elastic single collision energies. Both the deviation Q' and the inelastic loss energy Q are plotted as a function of incident ion energy for the Au surface.     

Stable isobenzofuran endoperoxide and its use for oxidation of olefins ans aromatic compounds

1,3-Di-tert-butylisobenzofuran reacts with singlet oxygen with rate constant of 2.8 x 10⁹ M^?1 sec^?1 to give stable endoperoxide $\text{4}$. Thermolysis of the endopepoxide ($\text{4}$) in the ppesence of norbornene and naphthalene gave the corrpesponding epoxide and naphthols, respectively. Addition of Pd(OAc)₂ improved the yield of naphtols considepably.     

A dual pathway in the solid-state photoreaction of nitrobenzaldehydes with indole

The solid-state photoreaction of the mixed crystals between nitrobenzaldehydes and indole was found to give nitrophenyl-(bis-3-indolyl)methane ( 3 ) and nitrophenyl-(3-indolyl)methanol ( 4 ). The structure of the ortho isomer 4c was established by X-ray crystallographic analysis. A dual pathway from an oxetane intermediate 5 is proposed for the formation of 3 and 4 .
