A new route for the preparation of liquid crystalline polyorganosiloxanes containing laterally linked mesogenic units on the main chains

A new route for the preparation of liquid crystalline polyorganosiloxanes containing laterally linked mesogenic units on the main chains (LLM-POS) is described. First, a novel polyorganosiloxane containing hydroquinone units on the main chains (HQ-POS) was synthesized by hydrosilylation polymerization. To avoid the oxygen silylation side reaction of phenolic groups, tetrahydropyranyl (THP) protective groups were used on the phenols taking part in the hydrosilylation reaction, the results indicating that THP groups are very stable and effective in hydrosilylation reactions. Then HQ-POS was further modified by a grafting reaction with 4- n -octyloxybenzoyl chloride, giving the desired LLM-POS, which has an increased molecular mass in comparison with similar polymers prepared by commonly used approaches. The titled LLM-POS was characterized by DSC, POM and XRD and shown to give smectic textures.

Potassium ion-selective electrode based on a cobalt(II)-hexacyanoferrate film-modified electrode

A potassium ion-selective electrode based on a cobalt(II)-hexacyanoferrate(III) (CHCF) film-modified glassy carbon electrode is proposed. The electroactive film is introduced onto the glassy carbon electrode surface by electrodeposition of cobalt, which forms a thin CHCF film on subsequent anodic scanning in KClHCl solution (pH 5.0–5.5) containing K₃Fe(CN)₆. The thickness of the film on the electrode surface can be controlled by changing the electrodeposition time and the concentrations of cobalt(II) and Fe(CN)^3?₆ ions. The modified electrode exhibits a linear response in the concentration range 1 × 10^?1 ?3 × 10^?5 M potassium ion activity, with a near-Nernstian slope (48–54 mV per decade) at 25 ± 1°C. The detection limit is 1 × 10^?5 M. The stability, response time and selectivity were investigated. The electrode exhibits good selectivity for potassium ion with the twelve cations investigated. The relative standard deviation is 1.5% (n=10). The effects of the thickness of the electroactive film and the pH of the solution on the electrode response were also investigated.     

Ligand-free nickel-catalyzed Kumada couplings of aryl bromides with tert-butyl Grignard reagents

A ligand-free nickel-catalyzed Kumada cross-coupling of aryl bromides and tert-butyl Grignard reagents led to the formation of a series of tert-butyl aryls in moderate to good yields, excellent tBu/iBu ratios, and good functional group compatibility. A radical coupling process is indicated and a mechanism with a Ni(I)-Ni(III) catalytic cycle is proposed.     

Integrating Photoluminescence and Ferromagnetism in Carbon Quantum Dot/ZnO by Interfacial Orbital Hybridization for Multifunctional Bioprobes

Integrating ferromagnetism (FM) and photoluminescence (PL) into one particular nanostructure as biological probe plays an irreplaceable role in accurate clinical diagnosis combining magnetic resonance and photoluminescence imaging technology. However, magnetic emergence generally needs a spin polarization at Fermi level to display a half-metallic electronic feature, which is not beneficial for preserving radiation recombination ability of photo-excited electron-hole carriers. To overcome this intrinsic difficulty, we propose a feasible atomic-hybridization strategy to anchor carbon quantum dots (CQDs) onto ZnO microsphere surface via breakage of C=O bonds at CQDs and subsequent Zn-3d and C-2p orbital hybridization, which not only ensures the carrier recombination but also leads to a room-temperature magnetism. Herein, the photoluminescence and magnetism coexist in this multifunctional heterojunction with outstanding biocompatibility. This work suggests that integration of magnetism and photoluminescence could be accomplished by particular interfacial orbital hybridization.     

NHC‐Pd complex based on 1,3‐bis (4‐ethoxycarbonylphenyl) imidazolium chloride: synthesis,structure and catalytic activity in the synthesis of axially chiral benzophenone hydrazone

A novel NHC–Pd complex of 1,3‐bis (4‐ethoxycarbonylphenyl) imidazolium chloride has been synthesized and characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, IR and X‐ray single‐crystal diffraction studies. TG analysis shows that the NHC‐Pd complex is stable under 208 °C. The catalytic activities have been explored for the synthesis of axially chiral N‐(2′‐methoxy‐1,1′‐binaphthalen‐2‐yl) benzophenone hydrazone. The result indicates that the novel NHC‐Pd complex can achieve better catalytic activity than the Pd‐phosphine catalysts in the synthesis of axially chiral N‐(2′‐methoxy‐1,1′‐binaphthalen‐2‐yl) benzophenone hydrazone.     

Discrete multi-projection methods for eigen-problems of compact integral operators

In this paper, a discrete multi-projection method is developed for solving the eigenvalue problem of a compact integral operator with a smooth kernel. We propose a theoretical framework for analysis of the convergence of these methods. The theory is then applied to establish super-convergence results of the corresponding discrete Galerkin method, collocation method and their iterated solutions. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the theoretical estimates for the error of these methods.     

Influence of Curing Frequency on the Morphology and the Electro-Optical Property of Polymer-Stabilized Cholesteric Textures

The effect of curing frequency on the morphology of polymer networks and the electro-optical property of normal-mode polymer-stabilized cholesteric textures (PSCTs) has been investigated. The scanning electron microscopy indicates that the shape of polymer networks transforms from honeycomb-like to fiber-like due to the increased solubility of the monomer at higher curing frequencies. The PSCTs cured at lower frequencies with sufficiently large network voids show a two-stage reorientation process that correlates with two kinds of cholesteric liquid crystal (LC) under different environments. The threshold voltage decreases as the curing frequency increases from 1 Hz to 10,000 Hz, while the field-off response time increases.
