A catalytic system consisting of copper complex and hydrogen peroxide in Emim ionic liquid medium was effective in the epoxidation of olefins and terpenes. The catalyst and the ionic liquid mixture was recycled and reused consistently.
A new coordination compound, chloro(1,10-phenanthroline-N, N′)(triphenylphosphine)copper(I) dichloromethane, incorporated in poly(methyl methacrylate)
exhibits superior nonlinear optical properties in the near-infrared spectral region. Its
nonlinear response time and third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility at 800 nm are ≤ 90 fs and
1.8 × 10 − 10 esu, respectively. Considerable nonlinear absorption is observed with this sample, near
800 and 1250 nm. The contribution of the excited states to the total nonlinear
absorption process is discussed. The results reveal the potential of this newly
designed compound for multi-photon absorption-based photonic applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
