The Influence of Electronegativity on Linear and Triangular Three-Centre Bonds
The Free Internet Journal Review for Organic Chemistry Archive for Arkivoc 2020, part iv, 12-24 Organic Chemistry The influence of electronegativity on linear and triangular three-centre bonds Christopher A. Ramsden Lennard-Jones Laboratories, School of Chemical and Physical Sciences, Keele University, Keele, Staffordshire ST5 5BG, United Kingdom Email: [email protected] Received 03-24-2020 Accepted 04-19-2020 Published on line 04-30-2020 Abstract Electronegativity differences between bonding atoms have major effects on the strengths of chemical bonds but they affect two-centre and three-centre bonds in different ways and with different consequences. The effect on two-centre bonds was recognised almost 100 years ago but the influence of electronegativity difference on three-centre bonding has received less attention. Molecular orbital models of three-centre bonding are discussed and their application to the understanding of the properties of three-centre bonded species illustrated. -2.5 X -3.0 + Y Y Ea -3.5 -4.0 -4.5 X Binding Energy Binding + -5.0 Y Y -5.5 -6.0 -4 -2 0 2 4 h (b units) Keywords: Three-centre bonding, electronegativity, hypervalent, nonclassical carbocations, 2-norbornyl cation, xenon difluoride DOI: https://doi.org/10.24820/ark.5550190.p011.203 Page 12 ©AUTHOR(S) Arkivoc 2020, iv, 12-24 Ramsden, C.

Quantum Limit in Subnanometre-Gap Tip-Enhanced Nanoimaging of Few
Quantum limit in subnanometre-gap tip-enhanced nanoimaging of few-layer MoS2 Yingchao Zhang1,2*, Dmitri V. Voronine1,3*#, Shangran Qiu1,2, Alexander M. Sinyukov1, Mary Hamilton3, Alexei V. Sokolov1,3, Zhenrong Zhang3 and Marlan O. Scully1,3,4# 1Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843, USA 2Xi’an Jiaotong University, Xi’an, Shaanxi 710049, China 3Baylor University, Waco, TX 76798, USA 4Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey 08544, USA Two-dimensional (2D) materials beyond graphene such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have unique mechanical, optical and electronic properties with promising applications in flexible devices, catalysis and sensing. Optical imaging of TMDs using photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopy can reveal the effects of structure, strain, doping, defects, edge states, grain boundaries and surface functionalization. However, Raman signals are inherently weak and so far have been limited in spatial resolution in TMDs to a few hundred nanometres which is much larger than the intrinsic scale of these effects. Here we overcome the diffraction limit by using resonant tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) of few-layer MoS2, and obtain nanoscale optical images with ~ 20 nm spatial resolution. This becomes possible due to electric field enhancement in an optimized subnanometre-gap resonant tip-substrate configuration. We investigate the limits of signal enhancement by varying the tip-sample gap with sub-Angstrom precision and observe a quantum quenching behavior, as well as a Schottky-Ohmic transition, for subnanometre gaps, which enable surface mapping based on this new contrast mechanism. This quantum regime of plasmonic gap-mode enhancement with a few nanometre thick MoS2 junction may be used for designing new quantum optoelectronic devices and sensors. -
Strong Field Coherent Control
Strong Field Coherent Control A Dissertation Presented by Carlos Alberto Trallero to The Graduate School in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Physics Stony Brook University August 2007 Stony Brook University The Graduate School Carlos Alberto Trallero We, the dissertation committee for the above candidate for the Doctor of Philosophy degree, hereby recommend acceptance of this dissertation. Thomas Weinacht Professor, Department of Physics and Astronomy Harold Metcalf Professor, Department of Physics and Astronomy Philip B. Allen Professor, Department of Physics and Astronomy George N. Gibson Professor, University of Connecticut This dissertation is accepted by the Graduate School. Lawrence Martin Dean of the Graduate School ii Abstract of the Dissertation Strong Field Coherent Control by Carlos Alberto Trallero Doctor of Philosophy in Physics Stony Brook University 2007 The work presented in this thesis is geared towards the understand- ing of coherent control in molecules and atoms in strong fields. The analysis is done by studying multiphoton transitions. We present a theoretical model that describes multiphoton transitions under strong fields. We show that in order to achieve population inver- sion a phase-matching condition between the laser and the atom needs to be satisfied. This phase matching condition shows that fields need to be tailored taking into account the presence of the dynamic stark shift (DSS) effect and compensating for it. These findings are corroborated by experimental results and simulations. Experimentally, we used a genetic algorithm (GA) to find pulse shapes that can efficiently excite atomic Na to the 4s state by means of a two photon absorption. -
Bun)Mo(Pme3)(Η -C2H4) (6) Through Etmgbr Reduction of (Arn)( Bun)Mocl2(DME) in the Presence of Pme3
Synthesis, Catalysis and Stoichiometric Reactivity of Mo Imido Complexes Nicolas A. McLeod BSc. in Chemistry Chemistry Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies In the partial fulfillment of the requirements For the MSc. degree in chemistry Chemistry Department Faculty of Mathematics and Science Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario © Nicolas A. McLeod, 2014 Abstract The current thesis describes the syntheses, catalytic reactivity and mechanistic investigations of novel Mo(IV) and Mo(VI) imido systems. Attempts at preparing mixed bis(imido) Mo(IV) complexes of the type (RN)(R′N)Mo(PMe3)n (n = 2 or 3) derived from the t mono(imido) complexes (RN)Mo(PMe3)3(X)2 (R = Bu (1) or Ar (2); X = Cl2 or HCl, Ar=2,6- i Pr2C6H3) are also described. The addition of lithiated silylamides to 1 or 2 results in the 2 unexpected formation of the C-H activated cyclometallated complexes (RN)Mo(PMe3)2(η - t CH2PMe2)(X) (R = Ar, X = H (3); R = Bu, X = Cl (4)). Complexes 3 and 4 were used in the activation of R′E-H bonds (E = Si, B, C, O, P; R′ = alkyl or aryl), which typically give products of addition across the M-C bond of the type (RN)Mo(PMe3)3(ER′)(X) (4). In the case of 2,6- dimethylphenol, subsequent heating of 4 (R = Ar, R′ = 2,6-Me2C6H3, E = O) to 50 °C results in 2 C-H activation to give the cyclometallated complex (ArN)Mo(PMe3)3(κ -O,C-OPh(Me)CH2) (5). An alternative approach was developed in synthesizing the mixed imido complex t 2 t (ArN)( BuN)Mo(PMe3)(η -C2H4) (6) through EtMgBr reduction of (ArN)( BuN)MoCl2(DME) in the presence of PMe3. -
Curved-Mechanical Characteristic Measurements of Transparent Conductive Film-Coated Polymer Substrates Using Common-Path Optical Interferometry
coatings Article Curved-Mechanical Characteristic Measurements of Transparent Conductive Film-Coated Polymer Substrates Using Common-Path Optical Interferometry Bor-Jiunn Wen * and Jui-Jen Hsu Department of Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering, National Taiwan Ocean University, Keelung 20224, Taiwan; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: This study proposes a method for measuring curved-mechanical characteristics based on a whole-folding test for transparent conductive film-coated polymer substrates using common- path optical interferometry. Accordingly, 80-, 160-, and 230-nm indium tin oxide films coated on 40 × 40 mm 125-µm-thick polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates, and monolayer graphene films coated on 40 × 40 mm 250-µm-thick PET substrates are inspected and analyzed under the curving conditions of 50-, 30-, 20-, and 10-mm radii before and after an 11,000 whole-folding cycle test based on a 10-mm folding radius. This study utilizes the changes in the phase retardations of transparent conductive film-coated polymer substrates under different curving conditions before and after 11,000 whole-folding cycles to analyze the substrates’ residual stress characteristics that were the direct result of manufacturing process parameters. The results from this study of curved-mechanical characteristic measurements of flexible transparent conductive substrates can provide designers Citation: Wen, B.-J.; Hsu, J.-J. Curved-Mechanical Characteristic with improved product development and can assist manufacturers in improving the manufacturing Measurements of Transparent design of enhanced coating processes.

Ultrafast Laser Control of Electron Dynamics in Atoms, Molecules and Solids Matthias Wollenhaupt and Thomas Baumert*
PAPER www.rsc.org/faraday_d | Faraday Discussions Ultrafast laser control of electron dynamics in atoms, molecules and solids Matthias Wollenhaupt and Thomas Baumert* Received 5th September 2011, Accepted 19th September 2011 DOI: 10.1039/c1fd00109d Exploiting coherence properties of laser light together with quantum mechanical matter interferences in order to steer a chemical reaction into a pre-defined target channel is the basis of coherent control. The increasing availability of laser sources operating on the time scale of molecular dynamics, i.e. the femtosecond regime, and the increasing capabilities of shaping light in terms of amplitude, phase and polarization also on the time scale of molecular dynamics brought the temporal aspect of this field to the fore. Since the last Faraday Discussion (Faraday Discussion 113, Stereochemistry and control in molecular reaction dynamics) devoted to this topic more than a decade ago a tremendous cross- fertilization to neighbouring ‘‘quantum technology disciplines’’ in terms of experimental techniques and theoretical developments has occurred. Examples are NMR, quantum information, ultracold molecules, nonlinear spectroscopy and microscopy and extreme nonlinear optics including attosecond-science. As pointed out by the organizers, this meeting brings us back to chemistry and aims to assess recent progress in our general understanding of coherence and control in chemistry and to define new avenues for the future. To that end we will in the Introductory lecture first shortly review some aspects of coherent control. This will not be fully comprehensive and is mainly meant to give some background to current experimental efforts of our research group in controlling (coherent) electronic excitations with tailored light fields.
