The crystal is of monoclinic system, space group P21/c with a = 13.765(2), b = 17.044(3), c = 10.9044(16), β= 97.112(2)°, V = 2538.5(6)3, Z = 4, C22H24BrClCuN6O5, Mr = 631.37, Dc = 1.652 g/cm3, F(000) = 1276 and μ= 2.585 mm-1. In the crystal, DPP functions as a tridentate ligand and CuII ions assume a distorted square pyramidal geometry with Br atom lying on the apex, and at the same time, there is π-π stacking between adjacent complexes, which deals with two 1,10-phenanthroline plane rings. In addition to the π-π stacking, there are C-H···Br non-classic hydrogen bonds between adjacent complexes. The theoretical calculations reveal that the π-π stacking and C-H···Br non-classic hydrogen bond result in a weak anti-ferromagnetic interaction with 2J = -5.34 cm-1 and a weak ferromagnetic 2J = 5.92 cm-1, respectively. The magnetic coupling sign from the π-π stacking could be explained with McConnell I spin-polarization mechanism.展开更多

If a reasonably large basis set is used to calculate the stacking interaction energies for a cluster (dimer, trimer etc.) of aromatic molecules then the electron-electron correlation energy may be properly calculated. Moreover, ab initio calculations for aromatic π-systems show that the calculated stacking interaction energies highly depend on the basis set used and the electron correlation energy. In this investigation, the electron correlation of the stacked hydrated phenol systems has been accounted at MP2 level of calculations. We have calculated the π-π stacking interaction energies of the hydrated phenolic systems with different conformations.展开更多

On the other hand, substituents and conformational change in the stacked dimmers of aromatic system may also change the stability of different stacked dimers. In this current study, stacked phenolic dimmers (both phenol and diphenol) have been taken for investigation of the stacking π-π interaction. But, the stacking interactions are also greatly affected by the conformational change with internal rotation (i.e. dihedral angle, φ) between the stacked dimers. It is generally accepted that larger basis sets are required for the highly accurate calculation of interaction energies for any stacked aromatic models. But, it has recently been reported that M062X/6-311++G(d,p) basis set is effectively better than that of B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) for determining the interaction energies for any kind of long range interaction in aromatic systems. Therefore, all the calculations were carried out by using M062X/6-311++G(d,p) basis set. However, in most of the cases the calculated π-π stacking interaction energies show almost same result for both DFT and ab initio methods.展开更多

The stacking mode of the ligand changes from the offset conformation to a perfect face-to-face alignment with the coordination to the zinc centers. The structure features are correlated with their solid-state luminescence properties. With excitation at 360 nm, free TPT ligand gives a strong fluorescent emission at 455 nm and the ligand-centered emission of the metal-ligand complex occurs at the same wavelength with lower emission intensity. The distance between the aromatic rings responds to the difference of luminescence characters.展开更多

The structure exhibits two types of π-π stacking interactions between the nitroformate anions, i e, the parallel-displaced and T-shaped confgurafions. Furthermore, the thermal decomposition mechanism was investigated by DSC, TG-DTG and FTIR techniques. The kinetic parameters of the thermal decomposition were also calculated by using Kissinger's and Ozawa-Doyle's methods. The results show that NaNF has a good thermal stability, which is attributed to the π-π stacking interactions.展开更多

Timely, accurate and spatially explicit information on forest disturbance and recovery history is required for assessing the effectiveness of existing forest management. The major objectives of our research focused on testing the mapping efficacy of the vegetation change tracker (VCT) model over a forested area in China. We used a new version of VCT algorithm built upon the Landsat time series stacks (LTSS). The LTSS consisted of yearly image acquisitions to map forest disturbance history from 1987 to 2011 over the Ning-Zhen Mountains, Jiangsu Province of east China. The LTSS consisted of TM and ETM+ scenes with different projec- tions due to distinct data sources (Beijing remote sensing ground station and the USGS EROS Center). The valida- tion results of the disturbance year maps showed that most spatial agreement measures ranged from 70 to 86 %, comparable with the VCT accuracies reported for many places in USA. Very low accuracies were identified in 1995 (38.3 %) and 1992 (56.2 %) in the current analysis. These resulted from the insensitivity of the VCT algorithm to detect low intensity disturbances and also from the mis- registration errors of the image pairs. Major forest distur- bance types existing in our study area were identified as agricultural expansion (39.8 %), urbanization (24.9 %), forest management practice (19.3 %), and mining (12.8 %). In general, there was a gradual decreasing trend in forest cover throughout this region, caused principally by China's economic, demographic, environmental and political policies and decisions, as well as some weather events. While VCT has largely been used to assess long term changes and trends in the USA, it has great potential for assessing landscape level change elsewhere throughout the world.展开更多

文摘Unconsolidated sandstone reservoirs are most susceptible to sand production that leads to a dramatic oil production decline.In this study,the poly(4-vinyl pyridine)(P_(4)VP)incorporated with self-aggregating behavior was proposed for sand migration control.The P_(4)VP could aggregate sand grains spontaneously throughπ-πstacking interactions to withstand the drag forces sufficiently.The influential factors on the self-aggregating behavior of the P_(4)VP were evaluated by adhesion force test.The adsorption as well as desorption behavior of P_(4)VP on sand grains was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and adhesion force test at different pH conditions.The result indicated that the pH altered the forms of surface silanol groups on sand grains,which in turn affected the adsorption process of P_(4)VP.The spontaneous dimerization of P_(4)VP molecules resulting from theπ-πstacking interaction was demonstrated by reduced density gradient analysis,which contributed to the self-aggregating behavior and the thermally reversible characteristic of the P_(4)VP.Dynamic sand stabilization test revealed that the P_(4)VP showed wide pH and temperature ranges of application.The production of sands can be mitigated effectively at 20-130℃ within the pH range of 4-8.

文摘A new mono-nuclear Mn(Ⅱ) complex [Mn(MPT)2(NCS)(HOCH3)]ClO4(MPT = 2-methoxyl-1,10-phenanthroline) has been synthesized with 2-methoxyl-1,10-phenanthroline and thiocyanate anion as ligands,and its crystal structure was determined by X-ray crystallography.The crystal data:monoclinic system,space group P21/c with a = 12.8849(17),b = 15.684(2),c = 14.2703(19) ,β = 92.126(2)°,V = 2881.9(7) 3,Z = 4,C28H24ClMnN5O7S,Mr = 664.97,Dc = 1.533 g/cm3,F(000) = 1364 and μ = 0.679 mm-1.In the crystal,MPT functions as a bidentate ligand and Mn(Ⅱ) ion assumes a distorted octahedral geometry.In the crystal there are two types of π-π stacking interactions among the adjacent complexes,which involves 1,10-phenanthroline rings.The theoretical calculations reveal that the two types of π-π stacking resulted in a weak anti-ferromagnetic coupling with 2J =-14.68 cm-1 and a weak ferromagnetic coupling with 2J = 0.70 cm-1,respectively.The theoretical calculations also reveal that there are both spin polarization and spin delocalization in the two π-π stacking systems,and the magnetic coupling signs are unable to explain with McConnell I spin-polarization mechanism.

文摘Room temperature sputtered inorganic nickel oxide(NiO_(x))is one of the most promising hole transport layers(HTL)for perovskite-sillion 2-terminal tandem solar cells with the aid of ultrathin and compact organic layers to passivate the surface defects.In this study,the aromatic solvent with different substituent groups was used to regulate the conformation of poly[bis(4-phenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)am ine](PTAA)layer.As a result,the single-junction perovskite solar cell(PSC)gained a power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 20.63%,contributing to a 27.21%efficiency for monolithic perovskite/silicon(double-side polished)2-terminal tandem solar cell,by applying the alkyl aromatic solvent to enhance theπ-πstacking of PTAA molecular chains.The tandem solar cell can maintain 95%initial efficiency after aging over 1000 h.This study provides a universal approach for improving the photovoltaic performance of NiO_(x)/polymer-based perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells and other single junction inverted PSCs.
文摘Non covalent interactions are quite common in all kinds of π-systems, such as π-π interactions, long range/short range van der waal force of interactions, ion-π interactions etc. Ab initio calculations are well established and account well for the experimental long range interaction energies for small clusters of aromatic molecules and most of the calculations were carried out using the MPn methods. If a reasonably large basis set is used to calculate the stacking interaction energies for a cluster (dimer, trimer etc.) of aromatic molecules then the electron-electron correlation energy may be properly calculated. Moreover, ab initio calculations for aromatic π-systems show that the calculated stacking interaction energies highly depend on the basis set used and the electron correlation energy. In this investigation, the electron correlation of the stacked hydrated phenol systems has been accounted at MP2 level of calculations. We have calculated the π-π stacking interaction energies of the hydrated phenolic systems with different conformations.
文摘Aromatic systems like phenol, diphenol, cyano benzene, chloro benzene, aniline etc shows effective π-π stacking interactions, long range van der Waals forces;ion-π interactions etc. and these forces of interactions play an crucial role in the stability of stacked π-dimeric system. On the other hand, substituents and conformational change in the stacked dimmers of aromatic system may also change the stability of different stacked dimers. In this current study, stacked phenolic dimmers (both phenol and diphenol) have been taken for investigation of the stacking π-π interaction. But, the stacking interactions are also greatly affected by the conformational change with internal rotation (i.e. dihedral angle, φ) between the stacked dimers. It is generally accepted that larger basis sets are required for the highly accurate calculation of interaction energies for any stacked aromatic models. But, it has recently been reported that M062X/6-311++G(d,p) basis set is effectively better than that of B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) for determining the interaction energies for any kind of long range interaction in aromatic systems. Therefore, all the calculations were carried out by using M062X/6-311++G(d,p) basis set. However, in most of the cases the calculated π-π stacking interaction energies show almost same result for both DFT and ab initio methods.

文摘π-π Stacking in the 2,4,6-tris(4-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine aromatic nitrogen-containing ligand and its metal-ligand complex Zn(TPT)2(H2O)4(OH)2 1 has been investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. The stacking mode of the ligand changes from the offset conformation to a perfect face-to-face alignment with the coordination to the zinc centers. The structure features are correlated with their solid-state luminescence properties. With excitation at 360 nm, free TPT ligand gives a strong fluorescent emission at 455 nm and the ligand-centered emission of the metal-ligand complex occurs at the same wavelength with lower emission intensity. The distance between the aromatic rings responds to the difference of luminescence characters.

文摘An energetic salt, sodium nitroformate (NaNF), was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and UV spectra, and its crystal structure was first determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure exhibits two types of π-π stacking interactions between the nitroformate anions, i e, the parallel-displaced and T-shaped confgurafions. Furthermore, the thermal decomposition mechanism was investigated by DSC, TG-DTG and FTIR techniques. The kinetic parameters of the thermal decomposition were also calculated by using Kissinger's and Ozawa-Doyle's methods. The results show that NaNF has a good thermal stability, which is attributed to the π-π stacking interactions.

文摘The interfacial interaction between HMX molecules and coating materials is the key to the safety performance of explosives and has received extensive attention.However,screening suitable coating agents to enhance the interfacial effect to obtain high-energy and low-sensitivity explosives has long been a major challenge.In this work,HMX-PEI/rGO/g-C_(3)N_(4)(HPrGC)composites were innovatively prepared by a multi-level coating strategy of two-dimensional graphite rGO and g-C_(3)N_(4).The g-C_(3)N_(4) used for desensitization has a richπ-conjugated system and shows outstanding ability in reducing friction sensitivity.The hierarchical structure of HPrGC formed by electrostatic self-assembly andπ-πstacking can effectively dissipate energy accumulation under heat and mechanical stimulation through structural evolution,thus exhibiting a prominent synergistic desensitization effect on HMX.The results show that rGO/gC_(3)N_(4) coating has no effect on the crystal structure and chemical structure of HMX.More importantly,the perfect combination of g-C_(3)N_(4) and rGO endows HPrGC with enhanced thermal stability and ideal mechanical sensitivity(IS:21 J,FS:216 N).Obviously,the new fabrication of HPrGC enriches the variety of desensitizer materials and helps to deepen the understanding of the interaction between explosives and coatings.

文摘Theπ-πstacking is a well-recognized intermolecular interaction that is responsible for the construction of electron hopping channels in numerous conducting frameworks/aggregates.However,the exact role ofπ-to-πchannels within typical single crystalline organic semiconductors remains unclear as the orientations of these molecules are diverse,and their control usually requires additional side chain groups that misrepresent the intrinsic properties of the original semiconducting molecules.Therefore,the construction of conduction channels with intrinsicπ-πstacking in the molecule-based device is crucial for the utilization of their unique transport characteristics and understanding of the transport mechanism.To this end,we present a molecular intercalation strategy that integrates two-dimensional layered materials with functional organic semiconductor molecules for functional molecule-based electronics.Various organic semiconductor molecules can be effectively intercalated into the van der Waals gaps of semi-metallic TaS_(2) withπ-πstacking configuration and controlled intercalant content.Our results show that the vertical charge transport in the stacking direction shows a tunneling-dominated mechanism that strongly depends on the molecular structures.Furthermore,we demonstrated a new type of molecule-based vertical transistor in which TaS_(2) andπ-πstacked organic molecules function as the electrical contact and the active channel,respectively.On/off ratios as high as 447 are achieved under electrostatic modulation in ionic liquid,comparable to the current state-of-the-art molecular transistors.Our study provides an ideal platform for probing intrinsic charge transport acrossπ-πstacked conjugated molecules and also a feasible approach for the construction of high-performance molecule-based electronic devices.

文摘Planar cations or anions can form stacks in crystals or solutions,where the surrounding or environment plays a decisive role as demonstrated in previous studies.However,it remains unclear whether these counterintuitive interactions possess any inherent stability or are thoroughly repulsive if the constraint of environment is removed.In this work,we explored the inherent stability ofπ-πstacking between closed-shell ions of like charges with prototypes derived from experimental studies.The inherent metastability was identified by the characteristic local minima and the transition states preventing their dissociation and verified by ab initio molecular dynamics(AIMD)simulations.The nature of involved interactions was deciphered with the energy decomposition approach based on the block-localized wavefunction method(BLW-ED).Like the conventional neutralπ-πstacking interactions,electron correlation is the most attractive energy component.But it is overturned by the Coulombic repulsion between net charges for all modes of dimerization,resulting in the overall repulsive inter-cation or anion in-teractions.Contributions from van der Waals interactions were also observed in the reduced density gradient analysis.The origin of the metastability was elucidated by examining the contributions of individual physical factors to the well-depths.The inherent metastability originates from the electron correlation,which dramatically increases due to the enhanced overlap between ions from a transition state to its corresponding minimum.

文摘Forest losses or gains have long been recognized as critical processes modulating the carbon flux between the biosphere and the atmosphere. Timely, accurate and spatially explicit information on forest disturbance and recovery history is required for assessing the effectiveness of existing forest management. The major objectives of our research focused on testing the mapping efficacy of the vegetation change tracker (VCT) model over a forested area in China. We used a new version of VCT algorithm built upon the Landsat time series stacks (LTSS). The LTSS consisted of yearly image acquisitions to map forest disturbance history from 1987 to 2011 over the Ning-Zhen Mountains, Jiangsu Province of east China. The LTSS consisted of TM and ETM+ scenes with different projec- tions due to distinct data sources (Beijing remote sensing ground station and the USGS EROS Center). The valida- tion results of the disturbance year maps showed that most spatial agreement measures ranged from 70 to 86 %, comparable with the VCT accuracies reported for many places in USA. Very low accuracies were identified in 1995 (38.3 %) and 1992 (56.2 %) in the current analysis. These resulted from the insensitivity of the VCT algorithm to detect low intensity disturbances and also from the mis- registration errors of the image pairs. Major forest distur- bance types existing in our study area were identified as agricultural expansion (39.8 %), urbanization (24.9 %), forest management practice (19.3 %), and mining (12.8 %). In general, there was a gradual decreasing trend in forest cover throughout this region, caused principally by China's economic, demographic, environmental and political policies and decisions, as well as some weather events. While VCT has largely been used to assess long term changes and trends in the USA, it has great potential for assessing landscape level change elsewhere throughout the world.
