A cyclopropyl ring-opening/nitrilium ion ring-closing tandem reaction has been conveniently used in an expeditious synthetic approach to light-driven Z/E molecular switches featuring an imine function conjugated to olefin groups that mimics natural protonated Schiff bases. 相似文献
The decomposition of NiO single crystal was investigated under dissociative conditions in the temperature interval between 330 and 850 °C in the absence of reducing gas species. An unusually fast and constant decomposition rate was measured at the lowest temperatures, coupled with an unusual largely porous microstructure of the metallic product layer. This anomalous high reaction rate was interpreted on the basis of a decomposition mechanism implying the dissociative vaporization of the oxide followed by the condensation of the metal. The proposed mechanism is supported by the microstructure of the product and of the reacting interface. The complex dependence of reaction rate from temperature was shown to be related to a collapse of the porous product to form a compact metal layer at higher temperatures due to sintering. 相似文献
Ring‐opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of norbornene catalyzed by niobium(V) N,N‐dialkylcarbamates Nb(O2CNR2)5, R = Et ( 1 ), Me ( 2 ) was studied in the presence of methylaluminoxane (MAO) as a cocatalyst. These novel catalytic systems resulted very active in chlorobenzene: 1 in the presence of methylaluminoxane catalyzes the ROMP of norbornene with the highest activity (29 000 kg of polymer/mol of catalyst × hour) never reported up to now for niobium catalysts. The high productivity appears particularly attractive considering that these precursors are rather cheap and easy to synthesize and to handle. Polynorbornenes were characterized by FT‐IR and NMR spectroscopies and by DSC calorimetry. A new FT‐IR method for the swift determination of the cis/trans content of the polymer is presented.
We show that the entropy functional exhibits a quasi-factorization property with respect to a pair of weakly dependent σ-algebras.
As an application we give a simple proof that the Dobrushin and Shlosmans complete analyticity condition, for a Gibbs specification
with finite range summable interaction, implies uniform logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. This result has been previously
proven using several different techniques. The advantage of our approach is that it relies almost entirely on a general property
of the entropy, while very little is assumed on the Dirichlet form. No topology is introduced on the single spin space, thus
discrete and continuous spins can be treated in the same way.

Direct palladium‐catalysed cross‐couplings between organolithium reagents and (hetero)aryl halides (Br, Cl) proceed fast, cleanly and selectively at room temperature in air, with water as the only reaction medium and in the presence of NaCl as a cheap additive. Under optimised reaction conditions, a water‐accelerated catalysis is responsible for furnishing C(sp3)–C(sp2), C(sp2)–C(sp2), and C(sp)–C(sp2) cross‐coupled products, in competition with protonolysis, within a reaction time of 20 s, in yields of up to 99 %, and in the absence of undesired dehalogenated/homocoupling side products even when challenging secondary organolithiums serve as the starting material. It is worth noting that the proposed protocol is scalable and the catalyst and water can easily and successfully be recycled up to 10 times, with an E‐factor as low as 7.35. 相似文献
Tuning morphologies of self‐assembled structures in water is a major challenge. Herein we present a salen‐based amphiphile which, using complexation with distinct transition metal ions, allows to control effectively the self‐assembly morphology in water, as observed by Cryo‐TEM and confirmed by DLS measurements. Applying this strategy with various metal ions gives a broad spectrum of self‐assembled structures starting from the same amphiphilic ligand (from cubic structures to vesicles and micelles). Thermogravimetric analysis and electric conductivity measurements reveal a key role for water coordination apparently being responsible for the distinct assembly behavior. 相似文献
The dispersive coupling between a qubit and a cavity mode is widely used for performing non-destructive readout of the qubit state. In this approach, it is typically required that the dispersive strong coupling regime is achieved. Here we show that the use of an auxiliary cavity mode reduces by orders of magnitude the required value of the dispersive coupling, for a given decay rate of the cavity mode. The analysis is performed within the input-output formalism, in terms of the photon scattering matrix elements and of the signal-to-noise ratio. We derive simple analytical expressions for the optimal parameters and recover the standard single-mode result as a limiting case. The present results can also be applied to the qubit readout based on longitudinal cavity-qubit interactions, and to any sensing scheme where the cavity frequency is used as a probe to estimate some physical parameter of interest. 相似文献
