Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations have been carried out in order to unravel the governing reaction mechanism in copper-catalyzed cross-coupling Ullmann type reactions between iodobenzene (1, PhI) and aniline (2-NH, PhNH2), phenol (2-O, PhOH) and thiophenol (2-S, PhSH) with phenanthroline (phen) as the ancillary ligand. Four different pathways for the mechanism were considered namely ...

the influence of surface roughness magnitude and direction on dry static friction coefficient between two similar steel samples has been studied through an experiment. a testing apparatus has been designed and fabricated to measure the friction coefficient for a few forms of surface asperity. according to the results of the experiments, dry friction coefficient is affected by both magnitude and...

nowadays cmm machines are widely used in surface measurement and inspection. as inspection results from cmm machine are obtained by the means of measuring surfaces with direct contact, they are more precise than non-contact method (like optical measurement). however, cmm machines give more reliable and accurate results rather than non-contact methods but also these results come with error when ...

Reductive elimination of [R3PPR3]2+, [11(R)]2+, from the highly electrophilic SbIII centres in [(R3P)3Sb]3+, [8(R)]3+, gives SbI containing cations [(R3P)Sb]1+, [9(R)]1+, which assemble into frameworks identified as cyclo-tetra(stibinophosphonium) tetracations, [(R3P)4Sb4]4+, [10(R)]4+. A phosphine catalyzed mechanism is proposed for conversion of fluoroantimony complexes [(R3P)2SbF]2+, [7(R)]2...
