Heterogeneous oxidation of pyrimidine and alkyl thioethers in ionic liquids over mesoporous Ti or Ti/Ge catalysts.

2004

Heterogeneous catalytic oxidation of a series of thioethers (2-thiomethylpyrimidine, 2-thiomethyl-4,6-dimethyl-pyrimidine, 2-thiobenzylpyrimidine, 2-thiobenzyl-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine, thioanisole, and n-heptyl methyl sulfide) was performed in ionic liquids by using MCM-41 and UVM-type mesoporous catalysts containing Ti, or Ti and Ge. A range of triflate, tetrafluoroborate, trifluoroacetate, lactate and bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)-imide-based ionic liquids were used. The oxidations were carried out by using anhydrous hydrogen peroxide or the urea-hydrogen peroxide adduct and showed that ionic liquids are very effective solvents, achieving greater reactivity and selectivity than reactions p…

Theoretical characterization of the electronic structure of polymeric systems combining disilanylene and /spl pi/-conjugated units

1994

Summary form only given. Polymeric organosilicon systems are in the forefront of research, due to their intriguing properties (semiconducting behavior, photoconduction, non-linear optical properties, and thermo- and piezochromism). The fundamental skeletons of most of these polymers consist of a /spl sigma/-electron network formed by silicon-silicon bonds. Recently, polymeric organosilicon systems containing a regular alternation of a disilanylene unit and carbon /spl pi/-conjugated moiety as phenylene, ethynylene, or ethenylene have been synthesized. The purpose of this contribution is to perform a detailed study of the electronic structure of polymers containing alternated disilanylene an…

Evidence for the formation of sodium hassate(VIII)

SummaryHassium, element 108, was produced in the fusion reaction between26Mg and248Cm. The hassium recoils were oxidizedin-situto a highly volatile oxide, presumably HsO4, and were transported in a mixture of He and O2to a deposition and detection system. The latter consisted of 16 silicon PIN-photodiodes facing a layer of NaOH, which served, in the presence of a certain partial pressure of water in the transport gas, as reactive surface for the deposition of the volatile tetroxides. Six correlated α-decay chains of Hs were detected in the first 5 detectors centred around detection position 3. In analogy to OsO4, which forms Na2[OsO4(OH)2], an osmate(VIII), with aqueous NaOH, HsO4presumably…

Modification of Materials by MeV Ion Beams

2005

Today's fast developing technological based society places ever accelerating demands for new materials and materials processing methods. Leading edge fields as diverse as biomedical tissue engineering, quantum device, optical and magnetic information storage technology as well as immobilization of actinides, all require nanoscale engineering through controlled materials modification. The evolution of these advances from the research science stage to the industrial applications is a particular challenging task. Amongst the beam processing methods for materials modification MeV ions occupy a unique place. They interact strongly with both the atomic and electronic structures of the target mate…

Defects in oxide glasses

2005

An insight into the present understanding of point defects in the simplest and the most radiation-resistant oxide glass, glassy silicon dioxide (silica) is presented. The defects and their generation processes in glassy and α-quartz forms of silicon dioxide are significantly different. The only defect, confirmed to be similar in both materials, is oxygen vacancy. In silica, additional defects of dangling bond type are generated from precursor sites formed by strained Si-O bonds, and by modifier ions. The optical absorption spectra of silica are dominated by paramagnetic dangling bond type defects: silicon dangling bond (“E′-center”) and oxygen dangling bond (“non-bridging oxygen hole center…
