Two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal boron-nitride oxide (h-BNO) is a structural analogue of graphene oxide. Motivated by recent experimental studies of graphene oxide, we have investigated the chemical oxidation of 2D h-BN sheet and the associated electronic properties of h-BNO. Particular emphasis has been placed on the most favorable site(s) for chemisorption of atomic oxygen, and on the migration...

Novel 4-acyl-5-pyrazolones having aza-15-crown-5 (HPMP-A15C5) and aza-18-crown-6 (HPMP-A18C6) moieties as an intramolecular synergist have been synthesized by simple coupling reactions between 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-chloroacetyl-5-pyrazolone and the corresponding azacrown ethers. The solvent extraction of the divalent metal ions (Mn(2+), Co(2+), Ni(2+), Cu(2+), Zn(2+), Cd(2+) and Pb(2+)) were exam...

in the present research, nonlinear vibration in a coupled system of boron-nitride nano-tube reinforced composite (bnntrc) oil pipes is studied. single-walled boron-nitride nano-tubes (swbnnts) are arranged in a longitudinal direction inside poly-vinylidene fluoride (pvdf) matrix. damping and shearing effects of surrounded medium are taken into account by visco-pasternak model. based on piezoele...

Making one out of two: Dimeric boraza-crown ethers bridge the gap between metallacrowns and aza-crown with a strikingly simple synthesis. Dioxazaborocanes react alkoxides to form corresponding anionic boronates, which combine dimers upon ring-opening reactions. The presence was proven in solid state solution by X-ray crystallography NMR spectroscopy, respectively. influence counterion on stabil...

Wafers with 1 μm LPCVD silicon-rich nitride layers have been successfully direct bonded to silicon-rich nitride and boron-doped silicon surfaces. A chemical–mechanical polishing treatment was necessary to reduce the surface roughness of the nitride before bonding. The measured surface energies of the room-temperature bond were comparable to values found for Si–Si hydrophilic bonding. A mechanis...

To probe the influence of structural variation within dibenzo-16crown-5-oxyacetic acids upon the selectivity of alkali metal cation separations by solvent extraction and liquid membrane transport processes, studies have now been conducted in homogeneous solution by NMR spectroscopy and titration calorimetry and in the solid state. Condensation polymerization of such proton-ionizable lariat ethe...

The doping reaction of truncated boron nitride and carbon nanotubes with aluminium atom wastheoretically investigated. The AM1, PM3, and PM6 semiempirical methods have been used toevaluate the thermochemistry of doping reactions of single walled boron nitride nanotubes andcarbon nanotubes. The enthalpy changes, Gibbs free energy changes, and entropy changes of studieddoping reactions were evalu...
