The molecule of the title compound, C18H24N2O2, resides on a crystallographic inversion centre. The molecule adopts a transoid conformation with respect to the central C—C single bond and is in the meso form. A polarimetric study of the compound did not show any optical activity, indicating that the compound is a racemic mixture entirely consistent with the centrosymmetric space group. In the molecule, there is one intramolecular N—H⋯O interaction, resulting in the formation of a five‐membered ring. In the crystal structure, intermolecular O—H⋯N and C—H⋯O interactions are also observed. These interactions form an R22(9) ring and one‐dimensional linear chains of edge‐fused rings running parallel to the [010] direction, which stabilize the crystal packing. 相似文献

Highly conductive nanoparticles were proposed to be dispersed into phase change materials (PCMs) such as paraffin wax for heat transfer enhancement. The mixture, often referred to as nanoparticle-enhanced phase change material (NePCM), has been studied extensively for latent heat energy storage but with conflicting results. This study attempts to understand this problem by investigating the stability of NePCMs under multiple thermal (melting–solidification) cycles, which has not been well explained in previous studies. We believe that stability of a NePCM is prerequisite for any experimental investigation of its thermal properties or application. In this study, paraffin wax was chosen as the base material. Three different types of nanoparticles were tested, i.e., multi-walled carbon nanotubes, graphene nanoplatelets, and aluminum oxide nanoparticles (Al2O3). The nanoparticles were dispersed into paraffin wax at varying mass fractions using mechanical dispersion methods (sonication, stirring) with and without different surfactants. Stability of different mixtures was investigated after consecutive thermal cycles performed in an environmental chamber. Significant coagulation and deposition of nanoparticles were found after a few thermal cycles regardless of the nanoparticle type, concentration, or dispersion method. Different boundary conditions in heating were also examined for their effects. None of these methods led to long-term stable NePCMs. The “negative” results from this study indicate that long-term stability of NePCM (at least for the paraffin wax and nanoparticles tested) remains a major challenge and requires further research with a multidisciplinary approach.
The new mono-nuclear 4-5 and ball-type homo-dinuclear 6 phthalocyanines have been synthesized from the corresponding phthalodinitrile derivative 3. The synthesized compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis, UV-vis, IR,(1)H-NMR and MALDI-TOF-mass spectroscopies. The redox behaviours of the complexes were identified by cyclic voltammetry and square wave voltammetry. The temperature dependence of the electronic properties of compounds and adsorption of SO(2) on thin film of 6 were investigated by conductivity measurements using an interdigital transducer structure on glass substrate. Dc conductivity, measured between 300-475 K, is thermally activated with the activation energy ranging between 0.67 and 0.90 eV. The ac conductivity is found to vary with frequency, ω, as ω(s) in which the frequency exponent s decreases with temperature suggesting a hopping conduction mechanism for all compounds. The SO(2) sensing result showed that the spin coated film of 6 exhibits very good SO(2) sensing properties, fast response and recovery rate, high sensitivity and good repeatability. 相似文献
The fluorescence cross-sections (σKi) and the intensity ratios Kβ/Kα for pure Fe, Se, Te elements and FeSe, FeTe, TeSe complexes have been investigated. The samples were excited by 59.5 keV γ-rays from 241Am annular radioactive source and emitted X-rays. They were counted by an Ultra-LEGe detector with resolution of 150 eV at 5.9 keV. For pure elements results have been compared with the theoretical calculated values. According to our results band length and mutual interaction of atoms affected the results. We claimed that these effects would help researchers who study on superconductors, especially determining which compound can be show the superconductor properties. 相似文献
In this paper we present a method to optimize the configuration and operation of emergency medical systems on highways. Different from the approaches studied in the previous papers, the present method can support two combined configuration decisions: the location of ambulance bases along the highway and the districting of the response segments. For example, this method can be used to make decisions regarding the optimal location and coverage areas of ambulances in order to minimize mean user response time or remedy an imbalance in ambulance workloads within the system. The approach is based on embedding a well-known spatially distributed queueing model (hypercube model) into a hybrid genetic algorithm to optimize the decisions involved. To illustrate the application of the proposed method, we utilize two case studies on Brazilian highways and validate the findings via a discrete event simulation model. 相似文献
Synthesis of N‐(1H‐imidazoline‐2‐yl)‐1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐amine was carried out under microwave irradiation (MWI) conditions. Dynamic 1H NMR investigation of N‐(1H‐imidazoline‐2‐yl)‐1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐amine compound was reported at temperature range of 223–333 K in DMF‐d7. Some physical parameters, such as coalescence temperature (Tc), the free energy of activation (ΔG??) and rate constant (k) values were calculated from its 1H NMR spectra at various temperatures. Electrochemical feature of this compound was investigated by cyclic (CV) and square wave voltammetry (SWV). 相似文献
A new ligand, 4-chloromethyl-2-(2-hydroxybenzilidenehydrazino) thiazole, has been synthesized from dicholoroacetone and 2-hydroxybenzylidenethiosemicarbazon. Metal complexes of the ligand were prepared from acetate salts of Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II) and chloride of Cr(III) in dry acetone. Characterization of the ligand and its complexes was made by microanalyses, FT-IR, 13C, 1H NMR and UV-vis spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility and thermogravimetric analysis. In the light of these results, it was suggested that two ligands coordinate to each metal atom by hydroxyl oxygen, imino nitrogen and thiazole ring nitrogen to form high spin octahedral complexes with Cr(III), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II). 相似文献
Emergency Medical Service (EMS) systems operate under the pressure of knowing that human lives might be directly at stake. In the public eye there is a natural expectation of efficient response. There is abundant literature on the topic of efficient planning of EMS systems (maximizing expected coverage or minimizing response time). Other objectives have been considered but the literature available is very sparse compared to efficiency-based works. Furthermore, while real size EMS systems have been studied, the use of exact models is usually hindered by the amount of computational time required to obtain solutions. We approach the planning of large-scale EMS systems including fairness considerations using a Tabu Search-based heuristic with an embedded approximation procedure for the queuing submodel. This allows for the analysis of large-scale real systems, extending the approach in which strategic decisions (location) and operative decisions (dispatching) are combined to balance efficiency and fairness. 相似文献
