Mixtures of a copper complex and copper fine particles as copper-based metal-organic decomposition (MOD) dispersions have been demonstrated to be effective for low-temperature sintering of conductive copper film. However, the copper particle size effect on decomposition process of the dispersion during heating and the effect of organic residues on the resistivity have not been studied. In this ...

In the presence of catalytic amount of copper salt, an efficient and flexible synthetic method towards the synthesis of a structurally new type of spirocyclic lactams was developed.

The title compound, C(9)H(10)N(4)O(2)S, was prepared by the reaction of 1-(4-nitro-phen-yl)ethanone and thio-semicarbazide in ethanol at 367 K. There are weak inter-molecular N-H⋯S and N-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions in the crystal structure involving the amine and nitrile groups, respectively, as donors.

A novel pathway for the homocoupling reaction has been achieved using a similar protocol as the cross-coupling reaction. Ethyl bromoacetate is chosen to initiate the coupling reaction through oxidative addition to a Pd(0) species, and an PdBr(enolate) intermediate is formed. This intermediate can undergo double transmetalation with an alkynyl copper reagent, and reductive elimination produces a...

We present a facile and straightforward method to synthesize uniform poly(vinyl amine) hydrogel shells with excellent loading capability for active materials and controllable responsiveness to applied stimuli, providing tunable releasing properties.

N,N'-Dibenzyl diketiminate copper isopropanolate, (nacnac(Bn)CuOiPr)(2), polymerizes rac- and S,S-lactide in the presence or absence of isopropanol as a chain-transfer reagent with very high activity (k(2) = 32 M(-1) s(-1)), narrow polydispersities and without evidence of side reactions such as transesterification, epimerization or catalyst decomposition.

A new building block containing an imidazolium salt was synthesized and used for the construction of supramolecular networks with metal ions. We discovered the concomitant formation of the N-heterocyclic carbene-copper complex (CN = 2) in the self-assembly of imidazolium dicarboxylates and copper nitrates in N,N-dimethylformamide under heating. The proton in the 2 position of the imidazolium sa...

The title compound, C(15)H(17)NO(2)S, exhibits intra-molecular hydrogen bonding between the amine H atom and a sulfonyl O atom. The conformation of the mol-ecule is described by the four PhCH(2)-NH-CH(2)-CH(2)-SO(2)Ph torsion angles of 79.6 (2), -166.21 (14), -70.29 (17) and -58.93 (13)°.

Codeposition of two molecular species [copper phtalocyanine (CuPc, donor) and perfluoropentacene (PFP, acceptor)] on noble metal (111) surfaces leads to the self-assembly of an ordered mixed layer with a maximized donor-acceptor contact area. The main driving force behind this arrangement is assumed to be the intermolecular C-H ⋯ F hydrogen-bond interactions. Such interactions would be maximize...

In the title compound, [Ni(C(15)H(12)N(4))(2)](ClO(4))(2), the Ni(II) atom lies on an inversion center and is octa-hedrally coordinated by the N atoms of two tridentate tri-2-pyridyl-amine ligands. The two perchlorate anions are disordered over two sites with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.528 (19):0.472 (19).
