Electrochemically regenerative visible light-induced reactivity of α-Fe2O3 films with Ag(core)–AgCl(shell) microcrystal composites

Ag(core)–AgCl(shell) microcrystal composites (Ag@AgCl) have been formed on an α-Fe₂O₃ film-coated SnO₂ electrode by a 2 step method consisting of the electrochemical reduction of Ag⁺ ions and the subsequent electrochemical oxidation. The synergy of α-Fe₂O₃ and Ag@AgCl gave rise to a high visible light-induced reactivity (λ_ex > 420 nm) for the oxidation of 2-naphthol (2-NAP) used as a model water pollutant in the presence and absence of oxygen. These findings were attributable to the function of Ag@AgCl composites as an excellent charge-separation promoter and built-in acceptor.

ATR mode of surface magnon polaritons on YIG

The first discussion on ATR mode of surface magnon polaritons on semi- infinite YIG is presented for the Otto configuration (polyethylene-air-YIG geometry). Damping and the effect of retardation are included in the analysis. The thickness of the air layer appropriate for ATR measurements is determined.     

Synthesis and characterization of beta-haloalkenyl-lambda3-bromanes: stereoselective Markovnikov addition of difluoro(aryl)-lambda3-bromane to terminal acetylenes

Reported here for the first time are the synthesis, isolation, and characterization of hypervalent beta-haloalkenyl-lambda3-bromanes. Exposure of terminal alkynes to p-trifluoromethylphenyl(difluoro)-lambda3-bromane activated by BF3-i-Pr2O resulted in fluoro-lambda3-bromanation of the triple bonds in a Markovnikov fashion, yielding (E)-beta-fluoroalkenyl-lambda3-bromanes stereoselectively in good yields. 5-Chloro-1-pentynes undergo domino lambda3-bromanation-chlorine shift-fluorination or lambda3-bromanation-chlorine shift-alkyl shift-fluorination reaction, depending on the substituents and afford (E)-beta-chloroalkenyl-lambda3-bromanes stereoselectively in high yields. The beta-chloroalkenyl-lambda3-bromanes contain three kinds of halogen atoms, F, Cl, and Br, in the molecule.     

Domino Michael addition-carbene rearrangement-cyclization reaction of 1-alkynyl(aryl)-lambda3-bromanes with 2-mercapto-1,3-benzazoles

Exposure of 1-alkynyl[p-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl](tetrafluoroborato)-lambda3-bromanes to 2-mercaptobenzimidazole or benzothiazole in dichloromethane at 0 degrees C under argon resulted in a domino Michael addition-carbene rearrangement-cyclization reaction to produce directly tricyclic heterocycles in high yields, whereas the reaction with 2-mercaptobenzoxazole afforded 1-alkynyl sulfides.     

Surfactant-promoted novel reductive synthesis of supported metallic Cu nanoclusters and their catalytic performances for selective dehydrogenation of methanol

We have found a surfactant-promoted novel reductive synthesis of metallic Cu nanoclusters on metal oxides under hydrothermal synthesis conditions, which are active for the selective dehydrogenation of methanol.     

Photoluminescence studies of localized excitons in GaSe1−xSx solid solutions

We have measured the photoluminescence spectra of indirect excitons localized by alloy fluctuation in GaSe_1?xS_x solid solutions. The presence of the mobility edge for the localized exciton states is essential for explaining the observed luminescence spectra.
