Stability and fragmentation of organic silicon functionalizations studied by laser desorption mass spectrometry

A method is introduced to investigate organic functionalizations on silicon by laser-induced thermal desorption (LITD), where well-ordered Si(1 1 1)-(1 × 1):H(D) surfaces are used to determine the desorption temperature as a function of laser fluence. To demonstrate the potential of this technique silicon surfaces with ultrathin oxide layers were functionalized with organic end groups. The species desorbed with focused XeCl laser pulses were monitored at an oblique angle and their time-of-flight (TOF) distributions were measured with a quadrupole mass analyzer after electron impact ionization. By assuming a negligible contribution of the oxide and organic layers to the heating effect, the TOF temperatures measured for Si(1 1 1)-(1 × 1):H(D) could be used to determine the mass of the desorbed species. Detailed results are presented for dimethylsilyl (DMS), bromomethyldimethylsilyl (BMDMS), and chloromethyldimethylsilyl (CMDMS) terminated surfaces which were prepared by silanization with suitable chloro and disilazane compounds. While for the DMS termination dimethylsilanol (76 u) is desorbed as a single species, clearly identifying the terminating group, in the case of BMDMS and CMDMS further fragmentation of the end group occurs at the surface.

采用溶胶凝胶法成功制备了SrTiO3∶Pr3+、SrTiO3∶Pr3+, Mg2+ 及SrTiO3∶Pr3+, Al3+荧光粉.通过XRD、PL谱及第一性原理计算对样品的晶体结构、光谱特性及发光增强机制进行了研究.研究结果表明：共掺杂后,SrTiO3∶Pr3+荧光粉为单一组成的SrTiO3立方相,主发射锋位于617 nm, 对应于Pr3+离子的1D2→3H4跃迁发射.SrTiO3∶Pr3+, Mg2+ 及SrTiO3∶Pr3+, Al3+荧光粉的发光强度分别是SrTiO3∶Pr3+荧光粉发光强度的7倍和2倍,但主要发光机制没有改变.Mulliken布局分析表明,Mg2+、Al3+离子的掺入使SrTiO3∶Pr3+荧光粉中Ti-O及Pr-O键的化学键增强、键长变短,SrTiO3∶Pr3+基质向Pr3+离子发光中心的能量传递效率提高,导致SrTiO3∶Pr3+, Mg2+ 及SrTiO3∶Pr3+, Al3+荧光粉的发光效率提高.

STRUCTURAL ANALYSES OF TWO MIXED CATIONIC LANTHANIDE POTASSIUM HEXACYANOFERRATE(II) TETRAHYDRATES

Abstract

The crystal structural investigations of 1 : 1 (La/Nd)KFe(CN)₆ 4H₂O (I) and 1:1 (Pr/Nd) KFe(CN)⁶·4H₂O (II) have been determined using three-dimensional, single-crystal, X-ray diffraction data and refined by least-squares to yield final reliability (R) factors of 0.0180 and 0.020 based on 358 and 343 unique reflections, respectively. I and II crystallize in the hexagonal space group P6₃/m (No. 176) with a = 7.371(1), c= 13.833(3)Å for I and a = 7.362(1), c= 13.799(3) A for II. For Z = 2, the respective calculated densities are 2.371 and 2.388 mgm^?3 [exp., 2.369(4) and 2.382(4)mgm^?3]. The coordination about the lanthanide central ions in both I and II is nine, and the geometric polyhedra are tricapped trigonal prisms (TTP). Cyanide bridging links the octahedral FeC₆ groups to the nine-coordinated (Ln/Nd)N₆(H₂O)₃ groups. The noncoordinated water molecule and the potassium ion occupy holes in the lattice along the three-fold axis above and below the lanthanide ions. Selected bond distances and angles are presented as well as discussions of the synthesis, TGA, IR, and digital SEM/EDS results, and other peripheral studies of I and II.     

Cross-aldol Condensation of Cycloalkanones and Aromatic Aldehydes in the Presence of Nanoporous Silica-based Sulfonic Acid (SiO2-Pr-SO3H) under Solvent Free Conditions

The aromatic aldehydes underwent cross aldol condensation with cycloalkanones in the presence of a catalytic amount of nanoporous silica-based sulfonic acid (SiO2-Pr-SO3H) under solvent-free conditions to afford the corresponding α,α’-bis(substituted benzylidene)cycloalkanones in excellent yields with short reaction time without any side reactions. This method is very general, simple and environmentally friendly in contrast with other existing methods. SiO2-Pr-SO3H was proved to be an efficient heterogeneous solid acid catalyst, which could be easily handled and removed from the reaction mixture by simple filtration, and also recovered and reused without loss of reactivity.     

Energetics of dioxygen binding into graphene patches with various sizes and shapes

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed to investigate the electronic properties of an H-atom terminated graphene patch (hydrographene) smaller than a rhombic C96H26 structure with zigzag edges. Depending on shapes and sizes of hydrographenes, some hydrographenes have the triplet ground state where unpaired electrons are localized on their zigzag edges. The stability of the triplet spin state is diminished, decreasing the hydrographene sizes. The existence of the localized spin densities allows triplet dioxgen to bind into a hydrographene. According to the DFT calculations, the energetics of the dioxygen bindings is negatively influenced by downsizing hydrographenes, as well as depends on their shapes. The size-and shape-dependences of the dioxygen bindings reflect from the stability of the triplet state of a hydrographene, because its localized unpaired electrons can be utilized to be attached to an unpaired electron of triplet dioxygen.     

CF4 decomposition over solid ternary mixture NaF-Si-MO（MO=La2O3,CeO2,Pr6O-（11）,Nd2O3,Y2O3）

A solid ternary mixture consisting of NaF,silicon and one metal oxide such as La2O3,CeO2,Pr6O11,Nd2O3,and Y2O3 was prepared and usedas de-fluorinated reagent for CF4 decomposition.The results show that 90% conversion of CF4 can be reached initially over NaF-Si-La2O3,NaF-Si-CeO2,NaF-Si-Nd2O3,and NaF-Si-Y2O3 at 850 C.The fresh and used reagents were characterized using XRD and XPS techniques.It was found that the active components of NaF and metal oxides in NaF-Si-CeO2,NaF-Si-Pr6O11,NaF-Si-Nd2O3,and NaF-Si-Y2O3 weretransformed into inert phases of mixed metal fluorides and silicates,respectively,resulting in an ineffective utilization of these de-fluorinatedreagents,whereas no inert phases from NaF and La2O3 can be observed in the used NaF-Si-La2O3,indicating the NaF-Si-La2O3 reagent couldbe utilized more efficiently than the other reagents in CF4 decomposition.
