Ruthenium(III) complexes of amine-bis(phenolate) ligands as catalysts for transfer hydrogenation of ketones

Twelve ruthenium(III) complexes bearing amine-bis(phenolate) tripodal ligands of general formula [Ru(L¹–L³)(X)(EPh₃)₂] (where L¹–L³ are dianionic tridentate chelator) have been synthesized by the reaction of ruthenium(III) precursors [RuX₃(EPh₃)₃] (where E = P, X = Cl; E = As, X = Cl or Br) and [RuBr₃(PPh₃)₂(CH₃OH)] with the tripodal tridentate ligands H₂L¹, H₂L² and H₂L³ in benzene in 1:1 molar ratio. The newly synthesized complexes have been characterized by analytical (elemental and magnetic susceptibility) and spectral methods. The complexes are one electron paramagnetic (low-spin, d⁵) in nature. The EPR spectra of the powdered samples at RT and the liquid samples at LNT shows the presence of three different ‘g’ values (g_x ≠ g_y ≠ g_z) indicate a rhombic distortion around the ruthenium ion. The redox potentials indicate that all the complexes undergo one electron transfer process. The catalytic activity of one of the complexes [Ru(pcr-chx)Br(AsPh₃)₂] was examined in the transfer hydrogenation of ketones and was found to be efficient with conversion up to 99% in the presence of isopropanol/KOH.     

Cu-Mn-Zn/Y直接合成二甲醚催化剂中锌和锰的协同调节作用

通过对Y型分子筛负载Cu-Mn、Cu-Zn和Cu-Mn-Zn催化剂的结构、表面性质及其直接合成二甲醚反应活性的对比,发现Mn和Zn对催化剂还原性能的影响作用相反,对催化剂吸附H₂和CO的影响也不同。Mn和Zn的单独添加或共同添加引起催化剂结构和组分之间相互作用程度的改变,是造成催化剂活性和选择性变化的主要原因。两者的协同作用,能调整催化剂的还原性能和吸附性能达到适合的状态,从而使得催化剂具有高的二甲醚合成活性。

A Novel Approach to the Partial Information Decomposition

We consider the “partial information decomposition” (PID) problem, which aims to decompose the information that a set of source random variables provide about a target random variable into separate redundant, synergistic, union, and unique components. In the first part of this paper, we propose a general framework for constructing a multivariate PID. Our framework is defined in terms of a formal analogy with intersection and union from set theory, along with an ordering relation which specifies when one information source is more informative than another. Our definitions are algebraically and axiomatically motivated, and can be generalized to domains beyond Shannon information theory (such as algorithmic information theory and quantum information theory). In the second part of this paper, we use our general framework to define a PID in terms of the well-known Blackwell order, which has a fundamental operational interpretation. We demonstrate our approach on numerous examples and show that it overcomes many drawbacks associated with previous proposals.

圆柱腔低频声场的球谐函数分解及声场再现

针对圆柱腔低频声场的球谐函数分解,提出了基于移动式球形传声器阵列(简称球阵)测量的空间域直接求解法。利用空间域测量数据,在压缩感知(Compressive Sensing,CS)理论框架下通过一次线性方程组求解,获得整体坐标系下的声场展开系数。首先讨论了感知矩阵的列相关性,比较不同球阵形式及球面采样点数目,不同球谐函数截断阶数以及空间测量位置等的影响。随后在飞机舱室模型内利用文中提出的方法求解声场展开系数,再现腔内水平面的声压分布,并与传统球坐标变换方法做比较。实验结果表明,利用空间域直接求解法,通过球面随机挑选10个采样点的刚性球阵在声腔3个位置进行声场测量,不仅能够有效求解声场展开系数,而且声场再现精度更高,同时计算效率也显著提高。     

New numerical simulation for fractional Benney–Lin equation arising in falling film problems using two novel techniques

The pivotal aim of the present work is to find the numerical solution for fractional Benney–Lin equation by using two efficient methods, called q ‐homotopy analysis transform method and fractional natural decomposition method. The considered equation exemplifies the long waves on the liquid films. Projected methods are distinct with solution procedure and they are modified with different transform algorithms. To illustrate the reliability and applicability of the considered solution procedures we consider eight special cases with different initial conditions. The fractional operator is considered in Caputo sense. The achieved results are drowned through two and three‐dimensional plots for different Brownian motions and classical order. The numerical simulations are presented to ensure the efficiency of considered techniques. The behavior of the obtained results for distinct fractional order is captured in the present framework. The outcomes of the present investigation show that, the considered schemes are efficient and powerful to solve nonlinear differential equations arise in science and technology.
