A method of estimating the noise level in a chaotic time series

An attempt is made in this study to estimate the noise level present in a chaotic time series. This is achieved by employing a linear least-squares method that is based on the correlation integral form obtained by Diks in 1999. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated using five artificial chaotic time series, the Henon map, the Lorenz equation, the Duffing equation, the Rossler equation and the Chua's circuit whose dynamical characteristics are known a priori. Different levels of noise are added to the artificial chaotic time series and the estimated results indicate good performance of the proposed method. Finally, the proposed method is applied to estimate the noise level present in some real world data sets.     

CO2-switchable vesicles-network structure transition and drug release property

A series of amphiphilic triblock polymers based on poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and two symmetrical poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) blocks was synthesized via the Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) method. Conductivity, pH, and viscosity tests demonstrated the CO₂-switchability jointly; Cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (Cryo-TEM), Dynamic light scattering (DLS) revealed the self-assembly morphology transformation from unilamellar vesicle to network structure when bubbling CO₂. These changes were all attributed to the protonation of tertiary amine groups in PDMAEMA blocks and the mechanism was proved by ^?H NMR. The vesicles have a relatively low release rate of drug; once stimulated by CO₂, the release rate will be accelerated. The polymeric vesicle has the possibility to find potential applications in drug delivery and release domains.

Rapid Interception of CnF2n+1(O)SO. Radical with Copper-Based Carbene: A Novel Access to Perfluoroalkanesulfinate Ester

In this communication, an unprecedented interception of C_nF_2n+1(O)SO^. radical with a copper-based carbene has been established. Distinguished by wide substrate scopes and mild reaction conditions, this novel radical–carbene coupling reaction (RCC reaction) provides a fundamentally different and mechanistically interesting strategy for the synthesis of perfluoroalkanesulfinate esters.     

Double dehydrogenation of carbocyclic β-dicarbonyl compounds:Koser's reagent can do what iodine(V) reagents can

Koser's reagent is found to be effective in the oxidative double dehydrogenation of various carbocyclic β-dicarbonyl compounds,which constitutes the first example on dehydrogenation reactivity of hypervalent iodine(Ⅲ) reagents for carbocyclic carbonyl compounds. DFT calculations reveal that the rate-determining step is the electrophilic addition of PhI+OH onto enolate of monodehydrogenated product.     

Unravelling the Enigma of Nonoxidative Conversion of Methane on Iron Single-Atom Catalysts

The direct, nonoxidative conversion of methane on a silica-confined single-atom iron catalyst is a landmark discovery in catalysis, but the proposed gas-phase reaction mechanism is still open to discussion. Here, we report a surface reaction mechanism by computational modeling and simulations. The activation of methane occurs at the single iron site, whereas the dissociated methyl disfavors desorption into gas phase under the reactive conditions. In contrast, the dissociated methyl prefers transferring to adjacent carbon sites of the active center (Fe₁©SiC₂), followed by C−C coupling and hydrogen transfer to produce the main product (ethylene) via a key −CH−CH₂ intermediate. We find a quasi Mars–van Krevelen (quasi-MvK) surface reaction mechanism involving extracting and refilling the surface carbon atoms for the nonoxidative conversion of methane on Fe₁©SiO₂ and this surface process is identified to be more plausible than the alternative gas-phase reaction mechanism.     

Visible-Light-Induced Vicinal Dichlorination of Alkenes through LMCT Excitation of CuCl2

This work demonstrates photoredox vicinal dichlorination of alkenes, based on the homolysis of CuCl₂ in response to irradiation with visible light. This catalysis proceeds via a ligand to metal charge transfer process and provides an exciting opportunity for the synthesis of 1,2-dichloride compounds using an inexpensive, low-molecular-weight chlorine source. This new process exhibits a wide substrate scope, excellent functional group tolerance, extraordinarily mild conditions and does not require external ligands. Mechanistic studies show that the ready formation of chlorine atom radicals is responsible for the facile formation of C−Cl bonds in this synthetic process.
