Electrode materials with battery-like high capacity and capacitorlike rate performance are highly desirable, since they would signifi cantly advance next-generation energy storage technology. [ 1 ] TiO 2 has received increasing attention as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its good reversible capacity and low volume expansion upon lithiation, as well as its low cost and safe lithiation potential. [ 2 ] The low lithium-ion mobility within the crystalline phase TiO 2 , however, together with its poor electrical conductivity, means that only a thin surface layer of the host material is available for Li intercalation at …


An Investigation Of The Nanomechanical Properties Of 0.5ba(Ti0.8zr0.2)O3-0.5(Ba0.7ca0.3)Tio3 Thin Films, Zhong-Lan Cai, Zeng-Mei Wang, Huan-Huan Wang, Zhenxiang Cheng, Baowen Li, Xin-Li Guo, Hideo Kimura, Akira Kasahara Jan 2015

For practical application, the functional piezoelectric film in microelectromechanical systems should meet the requirement of physical properties, as well as the mechanical properties. In this article, 0.5Ba(Ti0.8Zr0.2)O3-0.5(Ba0.7Ca0.3)TiO3 (0.5BZT-0.5BCT) thin films with varied properties were prepared on (100) Si substrates via a sol-gel technique at different annealing temperatures. The effects of the annealing temperature on the morphology, piezoelectricity, hardness, and elastic modulus were studied. Particular attention was paid to the surface frictional behavior of films, and the changes in the friction force can be radically explained in terms of differences in the hardness/elastic modulus ratio and the residual stress of films. …


Microwave-Assisted Synthesis Of Novel 8-Chloro-[1,2,4]Triazolo[4,3-$A$]Pyridine Derivatives, Linjiong Zhang, Mingyan Yang, Beizhen Hu, Zhaohui Sun, Xinghai Liu, Jianquan Weng, Chengxia Tan Jan 2015

Microwave-Assisted Synthesis Of Novel 8-Chloro-[1,2,4]Triazolo[4,3-$A$]Pyridine Derivatives, Linjiong Zhang, Mingyan Yang, Beizhen Hu, Zhaohui Sun, Xinghai Liu, Jianquan Weng, Chengxia Tan

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A series of novel 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-$a$]pyridine derivatives were synthesized from 2,3-dichloropyridine and hydrazine hydrate as starting materials by multistep reactions under microwave assistance, and their structures were characterized by $^{1}$H NMR, MS, and elemental analysis. This method provides several advantages such as high yields, facile work-up, and environmental friendliness.


Reactivity Of The 2-Aryl-6,8-Dibromo-2,3-Dihydroquinolin-4(1$H)$-Ones In A Palladium Catalyzed Sonogashira Cross-Coupling Reaction, Malose Jack Mphahlele, Felix Adetunji Oyeyiola Jan 2015

Reactivity Of The 2-Aryl-6,8-Dibromo-2,3-Dihydroquinolin-4(1$H)$-Ones In A Palladium Catalyzed Sonogashira Cross-Coupling Reaction, Malose Jack Mphahlele, Felix Adetunji Oyeyiola

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Pd/C-PPh$_{3}$--CuI catalyzed Sonogashira cross-coupling of the 2-aryl-6,8-dibromo-2,3-dihydroquinolin-4(1$H)$-ones with phenyl acetylene or 3-butyn-1-ol afforded the corresponding 8-alkynylated quinolin-4(1$H)$-one derivatives, exclusively. Double carbo-substitution to afford the 6,8-dialkynyl derivatives was observed when PdCl$_{2}$(PPh$_{3})_{2}$ was used as Pd(0) source. The monoalkynylated derivatives were, in turn, subjected to PdCl$_{2}$ in acetonitrile under reflux to afford either the corresponding 2,4-diaryl-8-bromopyrrolo[3,2,1-\textit{ij}]quinolinones or the 8-(4-hydroxybutanoyl)-substituted quinolinone derivatives, exclusively. Suzuki--Miyaura cross-coupling of the 2-aryl-6-bromo-8-(alkynyl)quinolin-4-ones afforded the 2,4,8-trisubstituted pyrrolo[3,2,1-\textit{ij}]quinolin-6-ones.

Synthesis Of Novel 1,2,4-Triazoles And Triazolo-Thiadiazines As Anticancer Agents, Thoraya Abd El-Reheem Farghaly, Magda Ahmad Abdallah, Huda Kamel Mmahmoud

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A new series of 7-arylazo-5$H$-3-(trifluoromethyl)-6-methyl-1,2,4-triazolo-[3,4-$b$]-1,3,4-thiadiazines was prepared by reaction of 4-amino-3-trifluoromethyl-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazoles with $N$-aryl-2-oxo-propane hydrazonoyl chloride in dioxane under reflux in the presence of triethylamine. Furthermore, Schiff bases of 4-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole derivatives were reacted with a variety of hydrazonoyl chlorides and gave the respective hydrazonothioates. In addition, the novel \textit{bis}-(1,2,4-triazole-3-thione) was reacted with the appropriate hydrazonoyl chloride in dioxane under reflux in the presence of triethylamine to give the corresponding \textit{bis}-(1,2,4-triazolethiohydrazonoate). The structures of the new compounds were established based on elemental and spectral data. The mechanism of the studied reaction was also discussed. Moreover, some of the new products were screened …
