Polymerization reactions can benefit from continuous‐flow microprocess in terms of kinetics control, reactants mixing or simply efficiency when high‐throughput screening experiments are carried out. In this work, we perform for the first time the synthesis of branched macromolecular architecture through a controlled/‘living' polymerization technique, in tubular microreactor. Just by tuning process parameters, such as flow rates of the reactants, we manage to generate a library of polymers with various macromolecular characteristics. Compared to conventional batch process, polymerization kinetics shows a faster initiation step and more interestingly an improved branching efficiency. Due to reduced diffusion pathway, a characteristic of microsystems, it is thus possible to reach branched polymers exhibiting a denser architecture, and potentially a higher functionality for later applications. 相似文献
We report the synthesis of a series of block copolymers consisting of a rod‐like semiconducting poly(2,5‐di(2′‐ethylhexyloxy)‐1,4‐phenylenevinylene) (DEH‐PPV) block and a flexible poly(lactic acid) (PLA) block that can be selectively degraded under mild conditions. Such selectively degradable block copolymers are designed as self‐assembling templates for bulk heterojunction donor–acceptor layers in organic solar cells. A lamellar microphase‐separated domain structure was identified for block copolymers with PLA volume fractions between 29 and 79% in bulk and thin films using SAXS, TEM, and AFM. Depending on the ratio of the two blocks we find either lamellae oriented parallel or perpendicular to the substrate in thin films.
The low-temperature adsorption of N(2) on Rh/SiO(2) samples of various particle-size distributions was followed by FTIR. The addition of O(2) pulses on Rh(0) surfaces saturated with chemisorbed N(2) allowed us to reassign stretching frequencies attributed originally to N(2)-Rh(0) to N(2)-Rh(delta+). The formation of the latter oxidized Rh species is assumed to be induced by an electron withdrawal from adsorbed oxygen species on Rh surface centers neighboring those onto which N(2) species are chemisorbed. The present work, thus, enables us to delimit ranges of frequencies for which the adsorption of N(2) can be considered to occur on either Rh(0) or Rh(delta+) centers for nu(N2) lower or higher than 2243 cm(-1), respectively. The N(2)-FTIR experiments performed on the studied catalysts also suggest a lattice plane selectivity for N(2) adsorption on metallic Rh planes of different natures which, to our knowledge, has not been reported yet for Rh. 相似文献
[reaction: see text] A palladium-catalyzed/norbornene-mediated sequential coupling reaction involving an aromatic sp(2) C-H functionalization as the key step is described, in which an alkyl-aryl bond and an aryl-heteroaryl bond are formed in one pot. A variety of highly substituted six- and seven-membered annulated pyrroles and pyrazoles were synthesized in a one-step process in good yields from readily accessible N-bromoalkyl pyrroles or pyrazoles and aryl iodides. 相似文献
This paper is concerned with a result of homogenization of a non-local first order Hamilton–Jacobi equation describing the dislocations dynamics. Our model for the interaction between dislocations involves both an integro-differential operator and a (local) Hamiltonian depending periodicly on u/ε. The first two authors studied in a previous work homogenization problems involving such local Hamiltonians. Two main ideas of this previous work are used: on the one hand, we prove an ergodicity property of this equation by constructing approximate correctors which are necessarily non periodic in space in general; on the other hand, the proof of the convergence of the solution uses here a twisted perturbed test function for a higher dimensional problem. The limit equation is a nonlinear diffusion equation involving a first order Lévy operator; the nonlinearity keeps memory of the short range interaction, while the Lévy operator keeps memory of long ones. The homogenized equation is a kind of effective plastic law for densities of dislocations moving in a single slip plane. 相似文献
The de Haas-van Alphen effect was observed in the underdoped cuprate YBa2Cu3O6.5 via a torque technique in pulsed magnetic fields up to 59 T. Above a field of approximately 30 T the magnetization exhibits clear quantum oscillations with a single frequency of 540 T and a cyclotron mass of 1.76 times the free electron mass, in excellent agreement with previously observed Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations. The oscillations obey the standard Lifshitz-Kosevich formula of Fermi-liquid theory. This thermodynamic observation of quantum oscillations confirms the existence of a well-defined, closed, and coherent, Fermi surface in the pseudogap phase of cuprates. 相似文献
We review the continuous monitoring of a qubit through its spontaneous emission, at an introductory level. Contemporary experiments have been able to collect the fluorescence of an artificial atom in a cavity and transmission line, and then make measurements of that emission to obtain diffusive quantum trajectories in the qubit's state. We give a straightforward theoretical overview of such scenarios, using a framework based on Kraus operators derived from a Bayesian update concept; we apply this flexible framework across common types of measurements including photodetection, homodyne, and heterodyne monitoring and illustrate its equivalence to the stochastic master equation formalism throughout. Special emphasis is given to homodyne (phase-sensitive) monitoring of fluorescence. The examples we develop are used to illustrate basic methods in quantum trajectories, but also to introduce some more advanced topics of contemporary interest, including the arrow of time in quantum measurement, and trajectories following optimal measurement records derived from a variational principle. The derivations we perform lead directly from the development of a simple model to an understanding of recent experimental results. 相似文献
Elaboration of enantioenriched complex acyclic stereotriads represents a challenge for modern synthesis even more when fluorinated tetrasubstituted stereocenters are targeted. We have been able to develop a simple strategy in a sequence of two unprecedented steps combining a diastereoselective aldol-Tishchenko reaction and an enantioselective organocatalyzed kinetic resolution. The aldol-Tishchenko reaction directly generates a large panel of acyclic 1,3-diols possessing a fluorinated tetrasubstituted stereocenter by condensation of fluorinated ketones with aldehydes under very mild basic conditions. The anti 1,3-diols featuring three contiguous stereogenic centers are generated with excellent diastereocontrol (typically >99 : 1 dr). Depending upon the precursors both diastereomers of stereotriads are accessible through this flexible reaction. Furthermore, from the obtained racemic scaffolds, development of an organocatalyzed kinetic resolution enabled to generate the desired enantioenriched stereotriads with excellent selectivity (typically er >95 : 5). 相似文献
