    Treating [Cp V(mu-Cl)(2)](3) (Cp = C5Me5) and [(2,6-i-Pr2C6H3N)(2)MoMe2], respectively, with Me3SnF afforded the title compounds [Cp V(mu-F)(2)](4) (1) and [(2,6-i-Pr2C6H3N)(2)MoF2] THF (2). 1 has a tetrameric structure, in which four V atoms can be regarded as being arranged at the vertices of a distorted tetrahedron, with four long edges bridged by one F atom and each of the other two short edges bridged by two F atoms with a mean V-F bond length of 2.00 Angstrom. A hydrolyzed product of 2, [(2,6-i-Pr2C6H3N)(6)Mo-4(mu(3)-F)(2)Me-2(mu-O)(4)] (3) was characterized by elemental analyses and X-ray single crystal study. The X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that 3 has a unique tetranuclear structure, containing two five and two six coordinated Mo atoms connecting each other by four mu-O and two mu(3)-F atoms. The geometries around the two Mo atoms can be described having distorted trigonal bipyramidal and distorted octahedral coordination spheres. respectively. The Mo-(mu-O) bond lengths are 1.813 Angstrom (average) for Eve coordinated Mo atoms and 2.030 Angstrom (average) for those of six coordinated, respectively, indicating an additional pi bonding between five coordinated Mo atoms and the mu-O atoms. The MO-(mu(3)-F) distances range from 2.291 to 2.352 Angstrom

    Anthranil: An Aminating Reagent Leading to Bifunctionality for Both C(sp(3))-H and C(sp(2))-H under Rhodium(III) Catalysis

    No full text
    Previous direct C-H nitrogenation suffered from simple amidation/amination with limited atom-economy and is mostly limited to C(sp(2))-H substrates. In this work, anthranil was designed as a novel bifunctional aminating reagent for both C(sp(2)) H and C(sp(3)) H bonds under rhodium(III) catalysis, thus affording a nucleophilic aniline tethered to an electrophilic carbonyl. A tridendate rhodium(III) complex has been isolated as the resting state of the catalyst, and DFT studies established the intermediacy of a nitrene species

    Transition-Metal-Promoted Direct C-H Cyanoalkylation and Cyanoalkoxylation of Internal Alkenes via Radical C-C Bond Cleavage of Cycloketone Oxime Esters

    No full text
    Transition-metal-catalyzed alkyl-Heck-type cross-coupling of olefinic C-H bonds has been a challenge in the C-H activation area. Herein, we report FeCl3-promoted efficient direct C-H cyanoalkylation of internal alkenes, that is, ketene dithioacetals, with cycloketone oxime esters via radical C-C bond cleavage under the redox-neutral conditions. With CuCl2 as the catalyst under a dioxygen atmosphere direct C-H cyanoalkoxylation of the same internal alkenes was achieved. The cyanoalkylated tetrasubstituted alkene products could be diversely transformed to cyanoalkyl-funtionalized N- and S-heterocyclic compounds. The mechanistic studies have revealed that these C-H cyanoalkylation and cyanoalkoxylation reactions proceed through a radical pathway

    δ-C(sp3)H Activation of Free Alcohols Enabled by Rationally Designed H-Bond-Acceptor Ligands

    No full text
    The ability to employ a wide range of native substrates is essential for the broad application of transition-metal-catalyzed C–H activation. Recent advances have made native carboxylic acids, ketones, and amines amenable to C(sp3)–H activation, but alcohols, perhaps the most common functionality in organic chemistry, have remained intractable due to their low affinity for late-transition-metal catalysts. Herein we describe the rational development of ligands to overcome this challenge and enable alcohol-directed -C(sp3)–H arylation reactions. Our ligand design strategy employs charge balance and a secondary-coordination-sphere H-bonding interaction—evidenced by SAR studies, computational modelling, and crystallographic data—to stabilize L-type hydroxyl coordination to palladium, thereby facilitating the assembly of the key C–H cleavage transition state. In contrast to prior studies in C–H activation, where secondary interactions were used to control selectivity in the context of established reactivity, this report demonstrates the feasibility of employing secondary interactions to enable challenging novel reactivity by enhancing substrate-catalyst affinity

    Textbook of neonatal medicine : a Chinese perspective

    No full text
    This authoritative and comprehensive text is written by an internationally renowned group of medical experts of Chinese ethnic origin from the mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong and six other countries. As a scientific and clinically practical review of current knowledge on medical care of normal and high-risk infants, this book covers the essentials of modern neonatal medicine. Conditions which are common or life-threatening have been selected for detailed description, while sufficient information is provided on uncommon or less serious problems to help gain an understanding of how they are best managed. A special emphasis has been put on describing experiences which are unique to Chinese infants. The 91 chapters reflect the personal interest and experience of the 77 contributors whose contemporary view and practical approach should prove useful for postgraduate trainees and specialists wishing to keep themselves up to date in neonatal medicinepublished_or_final_versionEditorsContributorsForewordsPrefaceIndex p8971 Organisation of Perinatal Care / Shoo K.

    Improved measurement of the branching fraction of h c → γη′/η and search for h c → γπ 0

    No full text
    Abstract The processes h c → γP (P = η′, η, π 0) are studied with a sample of (27.12 ± 0.14) × 108 ψ(3686) events collected by the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. The decay h c → γη is observed for the first time with the significance of 9.0 σ, and the branching fraction is determined to be (3.77 ± 0.55 ± 0.13 ± 0.26) × 10 −4, while B B \mathcal{B} (h c → γη′) is measured to be (1.40 ± 0.11 ± 0.04 ± 0.10) × 10 −3, where the first uncertainties are statistical, the second systematic, and the third from the branching fraction of ψ(3686) → π 0 h c . The combination of these results allows for a precise determination of R h c = B h c → γη B h c → γ η ′ , Rhc=B(hcπ0γη)B(hcπ0γη), {R}_{h_c}=\frac{\mathcal{B}\left({h}_c\to {\pi}^0\gamma \eta \right)}{\mathcal{B}\left({h}_c\to {\pi}^0\gamma {\eta}^{\prime}\right)}, which is calculated to be (27.0 ± 4.4 ± 1.0)%. The results are valuable for gaining a deeper understanding of η − η′ mixing, and its manifestation within quantum chromodynamics. No significant signal is found for the decay h c → γπ 0, and an upper limit is placed on its branching fraction of B B \mathcal{B} (h c → γπ 0) < 5.0 × 10 −5, at the 90% confidence level

    A 13-bit Temperature Sensor with a ±1.45°C (3σ) Inaccuracy from -55°C to 125°C

    No full text
    This paper introduces a bipolar junction transistor (BJT)-based CMOS temperature-to-digital converter (TDC) that demonstrates an accuracy of ±1.45°C (3σ) within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, achieved without the need for calibration. This result is attributed to the implementation of a second-order curvature compensation technique, which utilizes a switched capacitor integral circuit within the bandgap reference circuit. This approach effectively mitigates higher-order reference voltage errors, enhancing overall precision. Additionally, the paper incorporates dynamic element matching (DEM) and auto-zeroing techniques, applied in successive amplification stages, to minimize errors originating from current mirror mismatches and operational amplifier offset voltages, respectively. The described BJT-based sensor features a 13-bit successive-approximationregister analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC), comprising a 5-bit capacitive array and an 8-bit resistor-capacitor hybrid array, designed to monitor and digitally record temperature data. The proposed design operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V and is realized using a 0.6 μm BJT process, ultimately achieving a resolution of 29.7 mK

    Abstract A search for the hadronic decays of the h c meson to the final states p p ¯ pp p\overline{p} π + π − π 0, p p ¯ η ppη p\overline{p}\eta , and p p ¯ pp p\overline{p} π 0 via the process ψ(3686) → π 0 h c is performed using (4.48 ± 0.03) × 108 ψ(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector. The decay channel h c → p p ¯ η ppη p\overline{p}\eta is observed for the first time with a significance greater than 5σ and a branching fraction of (6.41 ± 1.74 ± 0.53 ± 1.00) × 10 −4, where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic, and that from the branching fraction of ψ(3686) → π 0 h c . Strong evidence for the decay h c → p p ¯ pp p\overline{p} π + π − π 0 is found with a significance of 4.9σ and a branching fraction of (3.84 ± 0.83 ± 0.69 ± 0.58) × 10 −3. The significances include systematic uncertainties. No clear signal of the decay h c → p p ¯ pp p\overline{p} π 0 is found, and an upper limit of 6.59 × 10 −4 on its branching fraction is set at the 90% confidence level
