Surfactant‐assisted specific‐acid catalysis of Diels–Alder reactions in aqueous media

Surfactant‐assisted specific‐acid catalysis (SASAC) for Diels–Alder reactions of dienophiles 1 and 4 with cyclopentadiene 2 in aqueous media at 32 °C was studied. This study showed that acidified anionic surfactants (pH 2) such as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and linear alkylbenzene sulfonic acid (LAS) accelerate Diels—Alder reactions. Conversely, under similar reaction conditions (pH 2) these reactions are inhibited by (acidified) cationic surfactants such as dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB), dodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB), and dodecylmethylammonium bromide (DMAB). A modest rate acceleration resulting from the surfactant hydrogen‐bonding capacity is also recorded for the Diels–Alder reaction of naphthoquinones ( 6 ) with cyclopentadiene ( 2 ) in aqueous media at 32 °C.

Effects of oxygen-containing defect complex on the electronic structures and transport properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes

The electronic structures and transport properties of (10,0)$(10,0)$ single-walled carbon nanotube ((10,0)$(10,0)$ (SWNT)) with oxygen-containing defect complex are investigated using density functional theory in combination with nonequilibrium Green?s function method. The complex delocalizes the local states of (10,0)$(10,0)$ SWNT induced by mono- and di-vacancy but strengthens the localization of the states induced by the Stone–Wales defect. As a result, the complex partially restores the transport properties of (10,0)$(10,0)$ SWNT with vacancies, but reduces the transmission of (10,0)$(10,0)$ SWNT with Stone–Wales defect. However, the oxygen-containing defect complex only slightly influences the transmission gap and threshold voltage of the system.     

Photoinduced decarboxylation of 9‐oxo‐6,9‐dihydro[1,2,5]selenadiazolo[3,4‐f]quinoline‐8‐carboxylic acid

Photoinduced reactions of 9‐oxo‐6,9‐dihydro[1,2,5]selenadiazolo[3,4‐f]quinoline‐8‐carboxylic acid (SeQCA) were investigated in alkaline media (aqueous NaOH solutions) by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, following the in situ formation of paramagnetic species. According to UV–Vis and nuclear magnetic resonance investigations, protonation (pH ≈ 11) and deprotonation (pH ≈ 13) of the imino hydrogen of the 4‐pyridone moiety has to be considered, reflected also in the different EPR spectra observed upon irradiation. Photoinduced generation of radicals was found only for carboxylate substituted SeQCA; other studied selenadiazoloquinolone derivatives, together with those substituted at the C(8) position (R = H, COOCH₂CH₃, COOCH₃, COCH₃ or CN), did not generate paramagnetic species during exposure. Consequently, photodecarboxylation was suggested as the decisive step, accompanied by the decomposition of the selenadiazole ring, resulting in the formation of ortho‐hydroxylate anions. EPR parameters elucidated from experimental EPR spectra obtained at pH ≈ 11 and pH ≈ 13 indicate the formation of oxygen‐centered radicals at the decarboxylated 4‐pyridone ring. EPR spin trapping experiments with nitromethane confirmed a very effective photoinduced electron transfer from all the selenadiazoloquinolones investigated.

Micro‐Raman study of exfoliated Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ single crystals with different thicknesses

Exfoliated Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O_8+δ (Bi‐2212) single crystals were prepared by micromechanical cleavage of bulk Bi‐2212 single crystals on SiO₂/Si substrates. Room temperature micro‐Raman spectra were collected using a 532‐nm laser source. The evolutions of the spectra of A_1g (Bi), A_1g (Sr), and A_1g (O_Bi) Raman modes with different thicknesses of the samples were studied. The refractive index of Bi‐2212 single crystal was obtained by studying the intensity evolutions based on the interference effect. The observed wavenumber shifts of the A_1g (Bi), A_1g (Sr), and A_1g (O_Bi) modes were analyzed. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

采用密度泛函理论B3LYP/6-31G(d)方法优化计算4种2,4-二甲基-7-氨基-1,8-萘啶衍生物分子结构,探讨了其分子结构与前线分子轨道、能量的关系。运用含时密度泛函理论(TD-DFT)计算了它们的气相和溶液相电子光谱,研究了溶剂模型和计算方法对理论光谱的影响。计算结果表明,4种萘啶衍生物均含离域π键,HOMO与LUMO能级差ΔE较小,且大小顺序与它们的最大吸收波长实验值变化趋势一致。理论电子光谱证实,1,8-萘啶衍生物的吸收光谱随共轭性增强逐渐红移, 最大吸收源自于HOMO→LUMO的π→π*电子跃迁。PCM-B3LYP/6-31+G(d)计算结果与实验值相比,最大吸收波长分别相差2.6,10.3,5.3和6.9 nm,能量相差0.03,0.09,0.04和0.08 eV。因此,在考虑溶剂效应条件下,采用B3LYP/6-31(d) 方法优化分子构型和TD-DFT方法获得的电子光谱与实验光谱具有一致性。     

Structural modifications of diamond like carbon films induced by MeV nitrogen ion irradiation

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films were deposited on Si(1 0 0) substrates using plasma deposition technique. The deposited films were irradiated using 2 MeV N⁺ ions at fluences of 1×10¹⁴, 1×10¹⁵ and 5×10¹⁵ ions/cm². Samples have been characterized by using Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Analysis of Raman spectra shows a gradual shift of both D and G band peaks towards higher frequencies along with an increase of the intensity ratio, I(D)/I(G), with increasing ion fluence in irradiation. These results are consistent with an increase of sp² bonding. XPS results also show a monotonic increase of sp²/sp³ hybridization ratio with increasing ion fluence. Plan view TEM images show the formation of clusters in the irradiated DLC films. HRTEM micrographs from the samples irradiated at a fluence of 5×10¹⁵ ions/cm² show the lattice image with an average interplanar spacing of 0.34 nm, revealing that the clusters are graphite clusters. The crystallographic planes in these clusters are somewhat distorted compared to the perfect graphite structure.     

Electronic structure of dysprosium silicide films grown on a Si(1 1 1) surface

The thickness-dependent electronic structures of Dy silicide films grown on a Si(1 1 1) surface have been investigated by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. Two (1×1) periodic bands, both of them cross the Fermi level, have been observed in the silicide films formed by Dy coverages of 1.0 monolayer and below, and more than five () periodic bands have been observed in thicker films. Taking the () periodic structure of Dy atoms in the submonolayer silicide film into account, the periodicity of the two metallic bands indicate that they mainly originate from the orbitals of Si atoms, which form a (1×1) structure. Of the () periodic bands observed in thick films, four of them are well explained by the folding of the (1×1) bands into a () periodicity. Regarding the other band, the three () periodic bands would originate from the electronic states related to the inner Si layers that form a () structure, and the one observed in the 3.0 ML film only might originate from the electron located at the interface between bulk Si and the Dy silicide film.
