Reactivity of hydroxybenzoic acids in the hydrogen-isotope exchange reaction.

The hydrogen-isotope exchange reaction (T-for-H exchange reaction) between tritiated water vapor (HTO vapor) and 3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzoic acid (and it's analog; 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid) were observed at 50 and 70 degrees C in a gas-solid system to reveal the reactivity of a functional group in an aromatic compound having two substituents in the aromatic ring. Further, it was shown that (a) the reactivity of the compounds used in this work follows the Hammett's rule, and (b) the reactivity of trisubstituted aromatic compound could be analyzed by applying the additive property of the Hammett's rule even if the compound contains a substituent at the ortho-position.

Bistable electrical switching and nonvolatile memory effects by doping different amounts of GO in poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-2,7-diyl)

Poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-2,7-diyl) (PFO) was synthesized under a Suzuki coupling reaction, and its structure was proved by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and hydrogen and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H-NMR and ¹³C-NMR). A nonvolatile organic memristor, based on active layers of PFO and PFO:GO composite, was prepared by spin-coating and the influence of GO concentration on the electrical characteristics of the memristor was investigated. The results showed that the device had two kinds of conductance behavior: electric bistable nonvolatile flash memory behavior and conductor behavior. With an increase in GO concentration, the device has an increased ON/OFF current ratio, increasing from 2.1 × 10¹ to 1.9 × 10³, a lower threshold voltage (V_SET), decreasing from −1.1 V to −0.7 V, and better stability. The current remained stable for 3 hours in both the ON state and OFF state, and the ON and OFF state current of the device did not change substantially after 9000 read cycles.

The device shows different conductive behavior: electric bistable nonvolatile flash memory behavior and conductor behavior.     

Further results on H ∞ control for discrete‐time uncertain singular systems with interval time‐varying delays in state and input

This paper investigates the state feedback robust H _∞ control problem of a class of discrete‐time singular systems with norm‐bounded uncertainties and interval time‐varying delays in state and input. A new bounded real lemma for discrete‐time singular systems with a pair of time‐varying interval state delays is first investigated. Mathematical comparisons of the new bounded real lemma and two existing ones are presented. Then, on the basis of the bounded real lemma proposed here, a sufficient condition in the form of nonlinear matrix inequality, such that the considered state feedback robust H _∞ control problem is solvable, is given. In order to solve the nonlinear matrix inequality, a cone complementarity linearization algorithm is offered. Several numerical examples are presented to show the applicability of the proposed approach. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Robust fault detection filter design for a class of neutral‐type neural networks with time‐varying discrete and unbounded distributed delays

This paper is concerned with the problem of robust fault detection filter design for a class of neutral‐type neural networks with time‐varying discrete and unbounded distributed delays. A Luenberger‐type observer is designed for monitoring fault. By introducing an appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and by using Jensen's inequality techniques to deal with its derivative, a new sufficient condition for the existence of robust fault detection filter is proposed in the form of LMIs with nonlinear constraints. To solve the nonlinear problem, a cone complementarity linearization algorithm is proposed. In addition, several numerical examples are provided to illustrate the applicability of the proposed approach. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Dispersion of arc-discharged single-walled carbon nanotubes using the natural α-amino acid derivative N-dodecanoyl leucinate

The natural α-amino acid derivate N-dodecanoyl leucinate was synthesized via Schotten–Baumann reaction and alkali treatment, and was applied to the dispersion of arc-discharged single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). Optical absorption and Raman scattering spectra as well as AFM observation confirmed the effective individualization and selective dispersion of SWNTs. Moreover, charge transfer from N-dodecanoyl leucinate to SWNTs was evidenced by FT-IR and Raman scattering spectroscopic analyses. We believe that the formation of a charge transfer complex between dispersants and SWNTs is responsible for the effective individualization of SWNTs, and that the charge transfer from dispersants to SWNTs (or from SWNTs to dispersants) is crucial for selective dispersion of semiconducting (or metallic) SWNTs.

The synthesized natural α-amino acid derivative N-dodecanoyl leucinate demonstrates an effective and selective dispersion towards arc-discharged SWNTs.     

DFT investigation of hydrogen atom-abstraction reactions of NHC-boranes by various carbon-centered radicals: barriers and correlation analyses

In this study, we employed a quantum-mechanical computational method to investigate the hydrogen-atom abstraction reactions of two nitrogen heterocyclic carbene boranes (NHC-boranes), NHC-BH₃ and NHC-BH₂CN, by a series of carbon-centered radicals bearing various substituents. We explored the degree of correlation of the activation and free energy barriers to their components. Furthermore, we also investigated the effects of the radical and substituent sizes, nucleophilicity/electrophilicity indices, and the spin density distribution of the radical reactants on the three fundamental barriers and the thermal contribution of the reaction energy to the kinetic barrier. Using the generated data, we assessed the abilities of the various radical reactants to abstract the hydrogen atom from NHC-boranes. Further, we performed a similar analysis after dividing those radical reactants into four groups, which were classified based on the dominant factor affecting their electronic density distribution, which involves the inductive effect, conjugation, hyperconjugation, and the feedback of lone-pair electrons. The results and conclusions of this investigation not only provide insight into the relationships between some of the key kinetic and thermodynamic parameters, which is useful for understanding the dynamics of such hydrogen-abstraction reactions, but also provide information for selecting suitable radical reactants for further experimental investigations.

Correlation analyses were performed for understanding hydrogen-atom abstraction reactions.     

The thermal stability of FAPbBr3 nanocrystals from temperature-dependent photoluminescence and first-principles calculations

The temperature dependence of FAPbBr₃ perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) is investigated experimentally by steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopies. With the temperature increase, photon energies of line width and emission peak become larger due to stronger exciton–phonon coupling. Furthermore, theoretical calculations of first-principles simulations are used to estimate comparatively the thermal stability of typical FAPbBr₃ PNCs. It is found that the PL peaks of PNCs slightly change with increasing temperature below 175 K and then blueshift steeply decreases rapidly till 400 K, which is related to phase transition from orthorhombic to tetragonal and cubic phase. The simulated results show the PL and the crystal structure of FAPbBr₃ are largely dependent on the temperature. With higher temperature, the photon energy of the PL peak becomes larger, and the calculated band gap of FAPbBr₃ is about 2.15 eV at 80 K, which is in good agreement with the experimental results. It is confirmed that temperature-dependent PL is composed of a band-edge exciton state and trapping state emission. The results obtained will be of certain significance to further expand other hybrid organometal perovskite materials.

The thermal properties of FAPbBr₃ perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) is investigated by use of temperature-dependent steady-state/time-resolved photoluminescence and first-principle calculations.
