Adatom Defect Induced Spin Polarization of Asymmetric Structures

The spin polarization of carbon nanomaterials is crucial to design spintronic devices. In this paper, the first-principles is used to study the electronic properties of two defect asymmetric structures, Cap-(9, 0)-Def [6, 6] and Cap-(9, 0)-Def [5, 6]. We found that the ground state of Cap-(9, 0)-Def [6, 6] is sextet and the ground state of Cap-(9, 0)-Def [5, 6] is quartet, and the former has a lower energy. In addition, compared with Cap-(9, 0) CNTs, the C adatom on C₃₀ causes spin polarization phenomenon and Cap-(9, 0)-Def [6, 6] has more spin electrons than Cap-(9, 0)-Def [5, 6] structure. Moreover, different adsorb defects reveal different electron accumulation. This finding shows that spin polarization of the asymmetric structure can be adjusted by introducing adatom defects.     

Stability evaluation of Tc-99m radiolabeled GRPr antagonist with amino acid chelators

In order to select a chelator with excellent stability, easier radiolabeling process and low cost, GRPr antagonist RM26 with the amino acid based chelator was radiolabeled with technetium-99m. The stability of the radiolabeled peptides in PBS, serum as well as in the presence of excess cysteine was compared.

     

Brønsted acid activation strategy in transition-metal catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of N-unprotected imines, enamines, and N-heteroaromatic compounds

Asymmetric hydrogenation plays an important role in organic synthesis, but that of the challenging substrates such as N‐unprotected imines, enamines, and N‐heteroaromatic compounds (1H‐indoles, 1H‐pyrroles, pyridines, quinolines, and quinoxalines) has only received increased attention in the past three years. Considering the interaction modes of a Brønsted acid with a Lewis base, Brønsted acids may be used as the ideal activators of C?N bonds. This Minireview summarizes the recent advances in transition‐metal‐catalyzed, Brønsted acid activated asymmetric hydrogenation of these challenging substrates, thus offering a promising substrate activation strategy for transformations involving C?N bonds.

Observation of collective atomic recoil motion in a degenerate fermion gas

We demonstrate collective atomic recoil motion with a dilute, ultracold, degenerate fermion gas in a single spin state. By utilizing an adiabatically decompressed magnetic trap with an aspect ratio different from that of the initial trap, a momentum-squeezed fermion cloud is achieved. With a single pump pulse of the proper polarization, we observe, for the first time, multiple wave-mixing processes that result in distinct collective atomic recoil motion modes in a degenerate fermion cloud. Contrary to the case with Bose condensates, no pump-laser detuning asymmetry is present.     

Highly regioselective [3 + 2] annulation of azomethine imines with 1-alkynyl Fischer carbene complexes to functionalized N,N-bicyclic pyrazolidin-3-ones

The highly regioselective [3 + 2] cycloaddition of azomethine imines to 1-alkynyl Fischer carbene complexes has been successfully realized under mild conditions. Oxidative demetalation of the newly formed pyrazolo-pyrazolone carbene complexes with pyridine-N-oxide or ceric ammonium nitrate efficiently afforded pyrazolo-pyrazolone derivatives as well as cycloprop-2-enone and trisubstituted 1H-pyrazoles in some cases, providing a novel route to versatile functionalized N,N-bicyclic pyrazolidin-3-ones.     

Ultrathin CuF2-Rich Solid-Electrolyte Interphase Induced by Cation-Tailored Double Electrical Layer toward Durable Sodium Storage

Solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) seriously affects battery's cycling life, especially for high-capacity anode due to excessive electrolyte decomposition from particle fracture. Herein, we report an ultrathin SEI (3–4 nm) induced by Cu⁺-tailored double electrical layer (EDL) to suppress electrolyte consumption and enhance cycling stability of CuS anode in sodium-ion batteries. Unique EDL with SO₃CF₃-Cu complex absorbing on CuS in NaSO₃CF₃/diglyme electrolyte is demonstrated by in situ surface-enhanced Raman, Cyro-TEM and theoretical calculation, in which SO₃CF₃-Cu could be reduced to CuF₂-rich SEI. Dispersed CuF₂ and F-containing compound can provide good interfacial contact for formation of ultrathin and stable SEI film to minimize electrolyte consumption and reduce activation energy of Na⁺ transport. As a result, the modified CuS delivers high capacity of 402.8 mAh g⁻¹ after 7000 cycles without capacity decay. The insights of SEI construction pave a way for high-stability electrode.
