Pyrrole and Pyrimidine Derivatives as Possible Electron Donors for Colored Charge-Transfer Complexes with a Weakly Electrophilic Energetic Material,FOX-7:A Theoretical Study

A number of electron-rich heterocycles are studied as potential reagents for visual colorimetric detection of FOX-7 due to colored charge-transfer complexes formation.The obtained results suggest that pyrrole and pyrimidine derivatives can form such complexes playing the role of electron donors despite a low electrophilicity of FOX-7.Density functional theory calculations,as well as quantum theory of atoms in molecules analysis,suggest stacking binding mode as the most preferable one with the binding energy of about 21-36 kJ/mol.All the complexes demonstrate a clear single charge-transfer absorption band in the visible region and the expected colors of the complexes are varying from violet and blue to red and orange.The calculations of the crystalline state of the studied complexes indicate high lattice energies,which are higher than that of pure FOX-7 and are close to the recently reported hydrogen-bonded complex of FOX-7 with 1,10-phenanthroline.Additional analysis of the studied charge-transfer complexes using properties based on density difference grids clearly suggests the acceptor role of FOX-7 in the complexes.This analysis can be effectively applied to identify the nature of other possible complexes of FOX-7,in which its role is unclear because of the specific reactivity,namely,both weak electrophilic and nucleophilic properties at the same time.

Highly efficient H-bonding charge-transfer complex for microsupercapacitors under extreme conditions of low temperatures

Owing to sluggish ionic mobility at low temperatures, supercapacitors, as well as other energy-storage devices, always suffer from severe capacity decay and even failure under extreme low-temperature circumstances. Solar-thermal-enabled self-heating promises an attractive approach to overcome this issue.Here, we report a unique H-bonding charge-transfer complex with a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 79.5% at 405 nm based on chloranilic acid and albendazole. Integrated with a microsupercapacitor, the chloranilic acid-albendazole complex(CAC) film prompts an apparent temperature increase of 22.7 °C under 1 sun illumination at-32.6 °C, effectively elevating the working temperature of devices.As a result, the rate capability of the microsupercapacitor has been significantly improved with a 17-fold increase in capacitance at a current density of 60 μA cm^(-2), leading to outstanding low-temperature performances. Importantly, the integrated device is capable of working at a low temperature of-30 °C in the open air, which demonstrates the potential of CAC in practical applications for low-temperature ultracapacitive energy-storage devices.

REACTIVITY RATIOS FOR COPOLYMERIZATION WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF A CHARGE-TRANSFER COMPLEX

The complexation between styrene (St) and N-phenylmaleimide (PMI) was investigated by H-1-NMR spectroscopy, and the existence of a complex was proved. The equilibrium constant of St/PMI in chloroform at 50 degrees C was determined to be 0.27. New elementary propagation reactions were proposed. On the basis of the propagation elementary reactions for copolymerization with the participation of a charge-transfer complex (CTC), a method for measuring the reactivity ratios is presented. Four reactivity ratios and relative reactivities of free monomer and CTC were obtained. They are r(12) = 0.034, r(21) = 0.012, r(1C) = 0.0030, r(2C) = 0.0034, and k(1C)/k(12) = 11.34, k(2C)/k(21) = 3.42.

Sensitive Spectrofluorimetric Method for Determination of Fluoroquinolones through Charge-Transfer Complex Formation

A sensitive spectrofluorimetric method was developed for determination of ciprofloxacin (CPFX), levofloxacin (LEV), gatifloxacin (GAT) and moxifloxacin (MOX) in pure, commercial formulations, human urine and plasma. The method is based on charge-transfer (CT) complex with chloranilic acid. Fluorescence intensity of the complexes was measured at emission wavelength ranging from 445-492 nm with excitation wavelengths from 285-330 nm. At optimum experimental conditions, a linear calibration plot was obtained in the concentration range of 20-1000 ng·mL-1, 60-320 ng·mL-1, 20-800 ng·mL-1 and 20 -00 ng·mL-1 for CPFX, LEV, MOX and GAT, respectively with good correlation coefficient in the range of 0.9929-1.0 in methanolic medium. The limit of detection and limit of quantification were found to be 5 ng·mL-1 and 18 ng·mL-1 for CPFX, 12 ng·mL-1 and 40 ng·mL-1 for LEV, 8 ng·mL-1 and 19 ng·mL-1 for MOX, 6 ng·mL-1 and 19 ng·mL-1 for GAT, respectively. The method was found free of interferences from excipients used as additive in pharmaceutical preparations, some common cations and compounds present in urine and plasma as well as co-administered analgesic, vitamins and other drugs. The method was successfully applied for quantification of selected fluoroquinolones in commercial formulations and also in spiked human urine and plasma samples with percent recoveries of 100.0 ± 1.56 and 100.2 ± 1.29 respectively.

Photochemical graft of γ-cyclodextrin's interior leading to in-situ charge-transfer complexes with unusual regioselectivity and its application in 3D photo-printing

Photoirradiation of anthraquinone(AQ)derivatives withγ-cyclodextrin(γ-CD)in aqueous solution led to aγ-CD derivative with a 9,10-dihydroxylanthracene grafting unprecedentedly at the 5′-position of one glucoside ofγ-CD in high efficiency.Meanwhile,another AQ enters into the remaining space of the 9,10-dihydroxylanthracene-occupiedγ-CD cavity to in-situ form a selfincluded quinhydrone charge transfer(CT)complex.The structure of the supramolecular CT complex was unambiguously demonstrated by 1 D and 2 D NMR(^(1)H NMR,^(13)C NMR,DEPT,^(1)H-^(1)H COSY,HSQC,HMBC,TOCSY,and ROESY)spectroscopies,which revealed a highly stereoselective stacking of the quinhydrone pairs in theγ-CD cavity.The supramolecular CT complex showed an unusually high binding affinity and improved oxidation resistance.Polyacrylamides bearingγ-CD or anthraquinone were respectively synthesized by co-polymerization of acrylamide with the corresponding monomer.Photoirradiation of aqueous mixtures containing these two types of polymers led to gelation,which was applied to 3 D photo-printing of soft materials.

Charge-Transfer and SERS Coupling on TiO2

We report the SERS enhancements of Raman forbidden surface modes of TiO2 in different sized TiO2 crystals. This current study utilizes the relationship between the vibronic coupling and the degree of charge-transfer to explain the differences of Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) enhancements. Our study shows a direct correlation between the degree of charge-transfer and vibronic coupling. This relationship suggests that charge-transfer between the N-719 dye and TiO2 due to vibronic coupling plays a fundamental role in SERS enhancements. Furthermore, this study shows a strong dependence of the enhancements of the N-719 dye molecular modes to that of the surface modes. This indicates that the mechanism that governs the enhancements of the surface modes in TiO2 crystals most likely also dictates the enhancements of the N-719 dyes.

A novel complex-high-order graph convolutional network paradigm:ChyGCN

In recent years,there has been a growing interest in graph convolutional networks(GCN).However,existing GCN and variants are predominantly based on simple graph or hypergraph structures,which restricts their ability to handle complex data correlations in practical applications.These limitations stem from the difficulty in establishing multiple hierarchies and acquiring adaptive weights for each of them.To address this issue,this paper introduces the latest concept of complex hypergraphs and constructs a versatile high-order multi-level data correlation model.This model is realized by establishing a three-tier structure of complexes-hypergraphs-vertices.Specifically,we start by establishing hyperedge clusters on a foundational network,utilizing a second-order hypergraph structure to depict potential correlations.For this second-order structure,truncation methods are used to assess and generate a three-layer composite structure.During the construction of the composite structure,an adaptive learning strategy is implemented to merge correlations across different levels.We evaluate this model on several popular datasets and compare it with recent state-of-the-art methods.The comprehensive assessment results demonstrate that the proposed model surpasses the existing methods,particularly in modeling implicit data correlations(the classification accuracy of nodes on five public datasets Cora,Citeseer,Pubmed,Github Web ML,and Facebook are 86.1±0.33,79.2±0.35,83.1±0.46,83.8±0.23,and 80.1±0.37,respectively).This indicates that our approach possesses advantages in handling datasets with implicit multi-level structures.

Three-dimensional magnetic reconnection in complex multiple X-point configurations in an ancient solar-lunar terrestrial system

Magnetic reconnection processes in three-dimensional(3D)complex field configurations have been investigated in different magneto-plasma systems in space,laboratory,and astrophysical systems.Two-dimensional(2D)features of magnetic reconnection have been well developed and applied successfully to systems with symmetrical property,such as toroidal fusion plasmas and laboratory experiments with an axial symmetry.But in asymmetric systems,the 3D features are inevitably different from those in the 2D case.Magnetic reconnection structures in multiple celestial body systems,particularly star-planet-Moon systems,bring fresh insights to the understanding of the 3D geometry of reconnection.Thus,we take magnetic reconnection in an ancient solar-lunar terrestrial magneto-plasma system as an example by using its crucial parameters approximately estimated already and also some specific applications in pathways for energy and matter transports among Earth,ancient Moon,and the interplanetary magnetic field(IMF).Then,magnetic reconnection of the ancient lunar-terrestrial magnetospheres with the IMF is investigated numerically in this work.In a 3D simulation for the Earth-Moon-IMF system,topological features of complex magnetic reconnection configurations and dynamical characteristics of magnetic reconnection processes are studied.It is found that a coupled lunar-terrestrial magnetosphere is formed,and under various IMF orientations,multiple X-points emerge at distinct locations,showing three typical magnetic reconnection structures in such a geometry,i.e.,the X-line,the triple current sheets,and the A-B null pairs.The results can conduce to further understanding of reconnection physics in 3D for plasmas in complex magnetic configurations,and also a possible mechanism for energy and matters transport in evolutions of similar astrophysical systems.

Channel-Feedback-Free Transmission for Downlink FD-RAN:A Radio Map Based Complex-Valued Precoding Network Approach

As the demand for high-quality services proliferates,an innovative network architecture,the fully-decoupled RAN(FD-RAN),has emerged for more flexible spectrum resource utilization and lower network costs.However,with the decoupling of uplink base stations and downlink base stations in FDRAN,the traditional transmission mechanism,which relies on real-time channel feedback,is not suitable as the receiver is not able to feedback accurate and timely channel state information to the transmitter.This paper proposes a novel transmission scheme without relying on physical layer channel feedback.Specifically,we design a radio map based complex-valued precoding network(RMCPNet)model,which outputs the base station precoding based on user location.RMCPNet comprises multiple subnets,with each subnet responsible for extracting unique modal features from diverse input modalities.Furthermore,the multimodal embeddings derived from these distinct subnets are integrated within the information fusion layer,culminating in a unified representation.We also develop a specific RMCPNet training algorithm that employs the negative spectral efficiency as the loss function.We evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme on the public DeepMIMO dataset and show that RMCPNet can achieve 16%and 76%performance improvements over the conventional real-valued neural network and statistical codebook approach,respectively.

Ecological network analysis reveals complex responses of tree species life stage interactions to stand variables

Tree interactions are essential for the structure,dynamics,and function of forest ecosystems,but variations in the architecture of life-stage interaction networks(LSINs)across forests is unclear.Here,we constructed 16 LSINs in the mountainous forests of northwest Hebei,China based on crown overlap from four mixed forests with two dominant tree species.Our results show that LSINs decrease the complexity of stand densities and basal areas due to the interaction cluster differentiation.In addition,we found that mature trees and saplings play different roles,the first acting as“hub”life stages with high connectivity and the second,as“bridges”controlling information flow with high centrality.Across the forests,life stages with higher importance showed better parameter stability within LSINs.These results reveal that the structure of tree interactions among life stages is highly related to stand variables.Our efforts contribute to the understanding of LSIN complexity and provide a basis for further research on tree interactions in complex forest communities.

Squeeze and Excitation Convolution with Shortcut for Complex Plasma Image Recognition

Complex plasma widely exists in thin film deposition,material surface modification,and waste gas treatment in industrial plasma processes.During complex plasma discharge,the configuration,distribution,and size of particles,as well as the discharge glow,strongly depend on discharge parameters.However,traditional manual diagnosis methods for recognizing discharge parameters from discharge images are complicated to operate with low accuracy,time-consuming and high requirement of instruments.To solve these problems,by combining the two mechanisms of attention mechanism(strengthening the extraction of the channel feature)and shortcut connection(enabling the input information to be directly transmitted to deep networks and avoiding the disappearance or explosion of gradients),the network of squeeze and excitation convolution with shortcut(SECS)for complex plasma image recognition is proposed to effectively improve the model performance.The results show that the accuracy,precision,recall and F1-Score of our model are superior to other models in complex plasma image recognition,and the recognition accuracy reaches 97.38%.Moreover,the recognition accuracy for the Flowers and Chest X-ray publicly available data sets reaches 97.85%and 98.65%,respectively,and our model has robustness.This study shows that the proposed model provides a new method for the diagnosis of complex plasma images and also provides technical support for the application of plasma in industrial production.

Multi-soliton solutions, breather-like and bound-state solitons for complex modified Korteweg–de Vries equation in optical fibers

Under investigation in this paper is a complex modified Korteweg–de Vries(KdV) equation, which describes the propagation of short pulses in optical fibers. Bilinear forms and multi-soliton solutions are obtained through the Hirota method and symbolic computation. Breather-like and bound-state solitons are constructed in which the signs of the imaginary parts of the complex wave numbers and the initial separations of the two parallel solitons are important factors for the interaction patterns. The periodic structures and position-induced phase shift of some solutions are introduced.

Impurity modes in two-dimensional strongly coupled complex plasma crystals

Complex plasma fluctuation processes have been extensively studied in many aspects,especially lattice waves in strongly coupled plasma crystals,which are of great significance for understanding fundamental physical phenomena.A challenge of experimental investigations in two-dimensional strongly coupled complex plasma crystals is to keep the main body and foreign particles of different masses on the same horizontal plane.To solve the problem,we have proposed a potential well formed by two negatively biased grids to bind the negatively charged particles in a two-dimensional(2D)plane,thus achieving a 2D plasma crystal in the microgravity environment.The study of such phenomena in complex plasma crystals under microgravity environment then becomes possible.In this paper,we focus on the continuum spectrum,including both phonon and optic branches of the impurity mode in a 2D system in microgravity environments.The results show the dispersion relation of the longitudinal and transverse impurity oscillation modes and their properties.Considering the macroscopic visibility of complex mesoscopic particle lattices,theoretical and experimental studies on this kind of complex plasma systems will help us further understand the physical nature of a wide range of condensed matters.
