Abstract: Electrical sensitivity of a boron nitride nanotube (BNNT) was examined toward pyrrole (C5H6N) molecule by using density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G (d) level, and it was found that the adsorption energy (Ead) of pyrrole on the pristine nanotubes is a bout -16.37kcal/mol. But when nanotube have been doped with Si and Al atom...

A series of regioisomers for dithiafulvenyl-substituted phenylacetylene derivatives was synthesized and characterized to show structure-dependent electronic properties and different reactivities in their oxidized states.

A novel access to deuterated and D(3)CO-substituted arenes has been developed using immobilized triazenes as precursors. The linker system and the deuterating cleavage methodology could be shown to be compatible with various functional groups and are therefore suitable for the synthesis of derivatives only hardly available via comparable protocols.

The azaborine motif provides a mimic of aromatic systems through replacement of a C═C bond with a B-N bond. In particular, 2,1-borazaronaphthalenes, accessible through robust methods of synthesis and subsequent functionalization, afford an ideal platform to use for a variety of applications. However, the scope of substructures for this archetype has been limited by the lack of nitrogen-containi...

A series of N-substituted 5-chloro-6-phenylpyridazin-3(2H)-one derivatives were synthesized based on our previous work; all compounds were characterized by spectral data and tested for in vitro insecticidal activity against Plutella xylostella. The results showed that the synthesized pyridazin-3(2H)-one compounds possessed good insecticidal activities, especially the compounds 4b, 4d, and 4h wh...

In this paper, we demonstrated a highly discriminated and reliable molecular switch based on the interaction between the self-duplex of (Py)A-substituted oligodeoxyadenylate and graphene oxide in aqueous solution. This system showed a clear on/off state through the association and dissociation of (Py)A-modified oligodeoxynucleotide with graphene oxide in manipulated pH conditions, high amplitud...

The X-ray crystal structure of 1-(3-methoxy-carbonyl)-propyl-1-thienyl-[6,6]-methanofullerene (ThCBM) was determined and the electron mobility of the single crystal was measured using a TRMC method to reveal high electron mobility (2 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1)) along the long axis (a-axis) and its remarkable anisotropy (7 times).

Tandem deoxygenation-neophyl-type radical rearrangement-electrophile trapping using xanthates from 7-azabenzonorbornadienes gives 3-exo-substituted 2-aza-5,6-benzonorbornenes, which in some cases undergo isomerisation to (aminomethyl)indenes. The starting xanthates are accessible in good yields and high enantiomeric ratios via asymmetric hydroboration of (aryne/pyrrole-derived) 7-azabenzonorbor...
