Project description:This paper compares methods for measuring selected morphological features on the surface of thin metallic layers applied to flexible textile substrates. The methods were tested on a silver layer with a thickness of several hundred nanometers, which was applied to a textile composite with the trade name Cordura. Measurements were carried out at the micro scale using both optical coherent tomography (OCT) and the traditional contact method of using a profilometer. Measurements at the micro-scale proved the superiority of the OCT method over the contact method. The method of contactless measurement employs a dedicated algorithm for three-dimensional surface image analysis and does not affect the delicate surface structure of the measured layer in any way. Assessment of the surface profile of textile substrates and the thin films created on them, is important when estimating the contact angle, wetting behavior, or mechanical durability of the created metallic structure that can be used as the electrodes or elements of wearable electronics or textronics systems.

Project description:A concept for stabilizing highly sensitive and explosive copper(II) azide with 1-N-substituted tetrazoles is described. It was possible to stabilize the system by the use of highly endothermic, nitrogen-rich ligands. The sensitivities of the resulting energetic copper coordination compounds can be tuned further by variation of the alkyl chain of the ligands and by phlegmatization of the complexes with classical additives during the synthesis. It is demonstrated, using the compound based on 1-methyl-5H-tetrazole ([Cu(N3 )2 (MTZ)], 1) that this class of complexes can be applied as a potential replacement for both lead azide (LA) and lead styphnate (LS). The complex was extensively investigated according to its chemical (elemental analysis, single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy) and physico-chemical properties (differential thermal analysis, sensitivities towards impact, friction, and electrostatic discharge) compared to pure copper(II) azide.

Project description:The difficulty of processing two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) materials into working devices with any scalability is one of the largest impediments to capitalizing on their industrial promise. Here, we describe a versatile, simple, and scalable technique to directly grow self-contacted thin-film materials over a range of TMDs (MoS2, MoSe2, WS2, and WSe2), where predeposited bulk metallic contacts serve as the nucleation site for the TMD material to grow, forming naturally contacted device structures in a single step. The conditions for growth as well as optical and physical properties are reported. Because the material grows controllably around the lithographically defined patterns, wafer scale circuits and complex device geometries can be envisioned, including lateral heterostructures of different TMD materials.

Project description:Insight into copper-oxygen species proposed as intermediates in oxidation catalysis is provided by the identification of a Cu(II)-superoxide complex supported by a sterically hindered, pyridinedicarboxamide ligand. A tetragonal, end-on superoxide structure is proposed based on DFT calculations and UV-vis, NMR, EPR, and resonance Raman spectroscopy. The complex yields a trans-1,2-peroxodicopper(II) species upon reaction with [(tmpa)Cu(CH(3)CN)]OTf and, unlike other known Cu(II)-superoxide complexes, acts as a base rather than an electrophilic (H-atom abstracting) reagent in reactions with phenols.

Project description:Alloys of gallium with transition metals have recently received considerable attention for their applications in microelectronics and catalysis. Here, we investigated the initial stages of the Ga-Cu alloy formation on Cu(111) and Cu(001) surfaces using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and low energy electron diffraction (LEED). The results show that Ga atoms deposited using physical vapor deposition readily intermix with the Cu surface, leading to a random distribution of the Ga and Cu atoms within the surface layer, on both terraces and monolayer-thick islands formed thereon. However, as the Ga coverage increases, several ordered structures are formed. The (√3×√3)R30° structure is found to be thermodynamically most stable on Cu(111). This structure remains after vacuum annealing at 600 K, independent of the initial Ga coverage (varied between 0.5 and 3 monolayers), indicating a self-limited growth of the Ga-Cu alloy layer, with the rest of the Ga atoms migrating into the Cu crystal. For Ga deposited on Cu(001), we observed a (1 × 5)-reconstructed surface, which has never been observed for surface alloys on Cu(001). The experimental findings were rationalized on the basis of density functional theory (DFT) calculations, which provided structural models for the most stable surface Ga-Cu alloys on Cu(111) and Cu(001). The study sheds light on the complex interaction of Ga with transition metal surfaces and the interfaces formed thereon that will aid in a better understanding of surface alloying and chemical reactions on the Ga-based alloys.

Project description:The dimeric title copper(II) complex, diaqua-1kappaO,2kappaO-bis[3,9-dimethyl-6-(2-pyridylmethyl)-4,8-diazaundeca-3,8-diene-2,10-dione dioximato(1-)]-1k(4)N(2),N(4),N(8),N(10);1:2kappa(5)O(2):N(2),N(4),N(8),N(10)-dicopper(II) diperchlorate, [Cu(2)(C(17)H(24)N(5)O(2))(2)](ClO(4))(2), crystallizes with one Cu atom in a square-pyramidal environment and the other Cu atom displaying a distorted octahedral coordination. In each case, the four N atoms in the core of the ligand (two imine and two oxime N atoms) form the base of the pyramid, with a water molecule at an apex. The two parts of the dimer are linked by an interaction [2.869 (2) A] between one of the Cu atoms and one of the oxime O atoms coordinated to the second Cu atom, and also by a hydrogen bond between the apical water molecule on the second Cu atom and the pyridyl N atom from the coordination sphere of the first Cu atom. The pyridyl N atoms of the lariat arms are not coordinated to either of the Cu atoms. Thus, this potentially pentadentate ligand is only tetradentate when coordinated to Cu(II).

Project description:In the title compound, di-aqua-bis-(ethyl-enedi-amine-κ2 N,N')copper(II) bis-(2-nitro-benzoate), [Cu(C2H8N2)2(H2O)2](C7H4NO4)2, two di-aqua-bis-(ethyl-enedi-amine)-copper(II) cations and four nitro-benzoate anions are present in the asymmetric unit. All four anions are 'whole-mol-ecule' disordered over two sets of sites. The major components have refined occupancies of 0.572 (13), 0.591 (9), 0.601 (9) and 0.794 (10). The CuII ions exhibit slightly distorted octa-hedral geometries. In the crystal, cations and anions are connected to each other via N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to (200). The inter-molecular contacts in the crystal were further analysed using Hirshfeld surface analysis, which indicates that the most significant contacts are O⋯H/H⋯O (42.9%), followed by H⋯H (35.7%), C⋯H/H⋯C (14.2%), C⋯C (2.9%), C⋯O/O⋯C (2.2%), N⋯H/H⋯N (0.9%) and N⋯O/O⋯N (0.3%).

Project description:Copper oxidative addition into organohalides is a challenging two-electron process. In contrast, formal oxidative addition of copper to Csp2 carbon-bromine bonds can be accomplished by employing latent silyl radicals under photoredox conditions. This novel paradigm for copper oxidative addition has now been applied to a Cu-catalyzed cross-coupling of Csp3-bromides. Specifically, a copper/photoredox dual catalytic system for the coupling of alkyl bromides with trifluoromethyl groups is presented. This operationally simple and robust protocol successfully converts a variety of alkyl, allyl, benzyl, and heterobenzyl bromides into the corresponding alkyl trifluoromethanes.

Project description:The reaction of copper(II) sulfatepentahydrate with 2-nitro-benzoic acid and N,N,N',N'-tetra-methyl-ethylenedi-amine (TMEDA) in basic solution produces the complex bis-(2-nitro-benzoato-κO)(N,N,N',N'-tetra-methyl-ethylenedi-amine-κ2 N,N')copper(II), [Cu(C7H4NO4)2(C6H16N2)] or [Cu(2-nitro-benzoate)2(tmeda)]. Each carboxyl-ate group of the 2-nitro-benzoate ligand is coordinated by CuII atom in a monodentate fashion and two TMEDA ligand nitro-gen atoms are coordinate by the metal center, giving rise to a distorted square-planar coordination environment. In the crystal, metal complexes are linked by centrosymmetric C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming ribbons via a R 2 2(10) ring motif. These ribbons are linked by further C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, leading to two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded arrays parallel to the bc plane. Weak π-π stacking inter-actions provide additional stabilization of the crystal structure. Hirshfeld surface analysis, dnorm and two-dimensional fingerprint plots were examined to verify the contributions of the different inter-molecular contacts within the supra-molecular structure. The major inter-actions of the complex are O⋯H/H⋯O (44.9%), H⋯H (34%) and C⋯H (14.5%).

Project description:The title compounds, ?-oxalato-?(4) O (1),O (2):O (1'),O (2')-bis-[[4-(2-amino-eth-yl)-1H-imid-azole-?(2) N (3),N (4)](azido-?N (1))copper(II)], [Cu2(C2O4)(N3)2(C5H9N3)2], (I), and ?-ox-al-ato-?(4) O (1),O (2):O (1'),O (2')-bis-[[4-(2-amino-eth-yl)-1H-imidazole-?(2) N (3),N (4)](dicyanamido-?N (1))copper(II)], [Cu2(C2O4)(C2N3)2(C5H9N3)2], (II), are two oxalate-bridged dinuclear copper complexes. Each Cu(II) ion adopts a five-coordinate square-pyramidal coordination sphere where the basal N2O2 plane is formed by two O atoms of the oxalate ligand and two N atoms of a bidentate chelating histamine mol-ecule. The apical coordination site in compound (I) is occupied by a monodentate azide anion through one of its terminal N atoms. The apical coordination site in compound (II) is occupied by a monodentate dicyanamide anion through one of its terminal N atoms. The mol-ecules in both structures are centrosymmetric. In the crystals of compounds (I) and (II), the dinuclear complexes are linked through N-H?X and C-H?X (X = N, O) hydrogen bonds where the donors are provided by the histamine ligand and the acceptor atoms are provided by the azide, dicyanamide, and oxalate ligands. In compound (I), the coordinatively unsaturated copper ions inter-act with the histamine ligand via a C-H?Cu inter-action. The coordinatively unsaturated copper ions in compound (II) inter-act via a weak N?Cu inter-action with the dicyanamide ligand of a neighboring mol-ecule. The side chain of the histamine ligand is disordered over three sets of sites in (II).
