N‐Methylbenzoazacrown ethers with the nitrogen atom conjugated with the benzene ring: the improved synthesis and the reasons for the high stability of complexes with metal and ammonium cations

An improved method for the synthesis of formyl derivatives of N‐methylbenzoazacrown ethers is proposed. They are prepared in up to 68% yields over fewer steps and with a much shorter time required for the last step. The stability constants of complexes formed by N‐methylbenzoazacrown ethers and their structural analogs with alkali metal, alkaline‐earth metal and ammonium cations were determined by ¹H NMR titration in CD₃CN. High stability of complexes of N‐methyl derivatives of benzoazacrown ethers is demonstrated, comparable with or even exceeding the stability of benzocrown‐ether complexes and markedly exceeding the stability of complexes of phenylazacrown ethers with the same macrocycle size. The structures of azacrown ethers and their complexes with Ba(ClO₄)₂ were studied by X‐ray diffraction. A high degree of pre‐organization of N‐methylbenzoazacrown ethers toward the formation of complexes with metal and ammonium cations was noted, which is due to the clear‐cut pyramidal geometry of the nitrogen atom and the orientation of the lone electron pairs (LEPs) of most heteroatoms towards the centre of the macroheterocycle.

Control of device performances of phosphorescent white organic light-emitting diodes by managing charge transport properties of host materials

Interlayer-free phosphorescent white organic light-emitting diodes (PHWOLEDs) with a mixed-host emitting structure in red emitting layer were developed and device performances were investigated according to the host composition in the red emitting layer. Device performances could be effectively managed by a simple change of host materials in the red emitting layer. A high quantum efficiency was obtained in PHWOLEDs with electron transport-type host in the red emitting layer and red emission was strong in PHWOLEDs with mixed-host in the red emitting layer. In addition, stable color performances were obtained in electron transport-type host rich devices.     

Chaos synchronization of unified chaotic systems via LMI

This Letter focuses on the master-slave synchronization problem of the unified chaotic systems. Based on Lyapunov stability theory and linear matrix inequality (LMI) formulation, a simple linear feedback control law is obtained to make the state of two identical unified chaotic systems asymptotically synchronized. Simulation results have illustrated the effectiveness of the proposed chaos synchronization solution.     

Combined effects of pressure and temperature on enzyme stability

Abstract

The effect of high temperature and high hydrostatic pressure on the residual hydrolytic activity of a commercial Rhizomucor miehei lipase has been studied. Inactivation at high temperature and/or high pressure was carried out. Under non-denaturing pressure conditions, results showed that pressurisation protects enzymes against thermal deactivation. This is in accordance with previous results obtained with enzymes from mesophilic sources, such as invertase and galactosidases.     

Thermal stability and crystallization kinetics of Ge–Se–Cd glasses

The effect is reported of varying cadmium concentration on the glass transition, thermal stability and crystallization kinetics of Ge₂₀Se_{80? x} Cd _x (x = 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 at. %) glasses. Differential scanning calorimetry results under non-isothermal conditions for the studied glasses are reported and discussed. The values of the glass transition temperature (T_g ) and the peak temperature of crystallization (T_p ) were found to be dependent on heating rate and Cd content. From the heating rate dependence of T_g and T_p , the values of the activation energy for glass transition (E_g ) and the activation energy for crystallization (E_c ) were evaluated and their composition dependence discussed. The thermal stability of the glasses was evaluated using various thermal stability criteria such as ΔT, H_g and S. The stability calculations emphasize that the thermal stability decreases with increasing Cd content.     

Air stability of PTCDI‐C13‐based n‐OFETs on polymer interfacial layers

This Letter reports the novel use of poly(9‐vinylcarbazole) (PVK) as a dielectric interfacial layer for n‐type organic field‐effect transistors (n‐OFETs). With PVK, both the air stability and electron mobility of N,N′‐ditridecylperylene‐3,4,9,10‐tetracarboxylic diimide (PTCDI‐C13)‐based OFETs were improved. Among the PVKs with different weight‐average molecular weight (M_w), PVK with high M_w showed good performance. The high glass transition temperature of PVK enabled thermal post annealing of the active layer, which resulted in a high electron mobility of 0.61 cm²/Vs. This mobility was maintained at 90% and 59% after 4 days and 105 days in air, respectively. The PVK interfacial layer reduced the trapped charges in the PTCDI‐C13‐based n‐OFET for air‐exposure and caused a decrease in the threshold voltage shift.

     

Multistability and multiperiodicity of delayed Cohen-Grossberg neural networks with a general class of activation functions

In this paper, by using analysis approach and decomposition of state space, the multistability and multiperiodicity issues are discussed for Cohen-Grossberg neural networks (CGNNs) with time-varying delays and a general class of activation functions, where the general class of activation functions consist of nondecreasing functions with saturation’s including piecewise linear functions with two corner points and standard activation functions as its special case. Based on the Cauchy convergence principle, some sufficient conditions are obtained for checking the existence and uniqueness of equilibrium points of the n-neuron CGNNs. It is shown that the n-neuron CGNNs can have 2ⁿ locally exponentially stable equilibrium points located in saturation regions. Also, some conditions are derived for ascertaining equilibrium points to be locally exponentially stable or globally exponentially attractive and to be located in any designated region. As an extension of multistability, some similar results are presented for ascertaining multiple periodic orbits when external inputs of the n-neuron CGNNs are periodic. Finally, three examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.
