本文利用原位红外光谱方法对铑基担载液相催化剂(SLPC)在接近于实际反应条件下进行了表征。结果表明,新鲜催化剂上,铑膦络合物主要以二聚物的形式存在,如Rh_2(CO)_2(PPh_3)_4而在合成气或反应气氛中,催化剂铑膦络合物以单核络合物HRh(CO)_2(PPh_3)_2的形式存在。文中还对SLPC在CO,H_2,C_2-H_4,空气和HCl中处理时铑络合物种的变化进行了原位观察。实验结果表明,SLPC上活性铑络合物与对应的均相过程完全一致,进一步证实了SLPC催化在微观上就是一个均相催化过程。

Electrical and optical clock distribution networks for gigascale microprocessors

A summary of electrical and optical approaches to clock distribution within high-performance microprocessors is presented. System-level properties of intrachip electrical clock distribution networks corresponding to three microprocessor families are summarized. It is found that global clock interconnect performance and short-term jitter present the greatest challenges to the continued use of conventional clock distribution methodologies. An extrapolation of trends describing the percentage of clock period consumed by global skew and short-term jitter identifies the 32-nm technology generation of the 2002 International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) as the first technology generation within which alternate methods of clock distribution may be warranted. Research efforts investigating interboard through intrachip optical clock distribution are also summarized. An optical distribution network compatible with high volume manufacturing in conjunction with a suitable means of providing optical-to-electrical signal conversion comprise the two fundamental challenges facing successful implementation of an optical clock distribution network. It is found that a global guided-wave distribution capable of efficient input and output coupling of optical power is required to meet the first challenge. The identification of a suitable means of optical-to-electrical conversion, however, remains an active topic of research.     

Humidity Sustained Wearable Pouch‐Type Triboelectric Nanogenerator for Harvesting Mechanical Energy from Human Activities

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are gaining much research interest recently owing to their facile and cost‐effective device structure. However, the effect of relative humidity (in moisture atmosphere) on the output performance still needs to be resolved. Herein, a pouch‐type TENG is proposed to significantly reduce the effect of relative humidity on its electrical output and a stable performance is also attained in a humid environment. In this regard, a dielectric and dielectric materials‐based TENG (DD‐TENG) is first developed using nanoarchitecture polydimethylsiloxane (NA‐PDMS) and multiwalled carbon nanotube/nylon composite layers as a triboelectric material with the negative and positive tendencies, respectively. The NA‐PDMS and nylon composite layers play a key role in increasing the surface contact area and surface charge density between the dielectric/triboelectric materials as well as the output performance of DD‐TENG. However, the DD‐TENG device exhibits a stable and high output performance with the effective output power density of ≈25.35 W m^?2. Additionally, the performance of the pouch‐type DD‐TENG device is not almost affected even though the relative humidity is increased from 35 to 81%, while it is dramatically decreased for the nonpouch‐type device. Finally, the pouch‐type DD‐TENG is employed as a wearable device to effectively harvest the mechanical energy from daily human activities.     

Indium Trichloride (InCl3) Catalyzed Synthesis of Fused 7‐Azaindole Derivatives Using Domino Knoevenagel‐Michael Reaction

An efficient and high yielding methodology developed for the synthesis of fused 7‐azaindole derivatives via one pot multicomponent assembly process of cyclic 1,3‐dicarbonyls with substituted aldehydes and 5‐amino‐1‐tert‐butyl‐1H‐pyrrole‐3‐carbonitrile. The transformation occurs via domino Knoevenagel‐ Michael reaction followed by intramolecular cyclization in the presence of catalytic amount of InCl₃ (10 mol %). Mild reaction conditions, easy isolation of products, and good to excellent yields in a shorter period of time are the silent features of present methodology. Structures of all the newly prepared compounds have been corroborated by various spectroscopic methods.

Microwave Promoted One‐Pot Synthesis of Some Novel N‐Aryl Isoquinoline Derivatives

Homophthalic anhydride 1 reacts with different aromatic amines to produce N‐substituted homophthalimides 2 under microwave irradiation. A rapid microwave‐assisted chemical synthesis of condensed 4‐substituted furo[2,3‐c]isoquinoline‐1,5(2H,4H)‐diones 3 and 5‐substituted‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐pyrano[2,3‐c]isoquinoline‐1,6(5H)‐diones 4 involving the condensation of a variety of alkanoyl chlorides with 2‐arylisoquinoline‐1,3‐diones 2 in the presence of base and aprotic solvent is described for the first time. By contrast, the facile ring opening reaction of furo[2,3‐c]isoquinoline‐1,5(2H,4H)‐dione 3 with Vilsmeier–Haack reagent under microwave irradiation yielded the α‐β unsaturated carboxyaldehyde 5 . This novel and clean one‐pot methodology, which is characterized by very short reaction time and easy workup procedure, can be exploited to generate some novel condensed isoquinoline derivatives.
