An atomically precise all-tert-butylethynide-protected silver superatom nanocluster, Ag51(tBuCC)32, features a three-shell arrangement, Ag@Ag8/Ag6@Ag36@C24/C8, and exhibits a strong solvatochromic effect.
Cold ring rolling is a much complex physical process with multi-factors. Two forming parameters, the feed rate of mandrel and the rotational speed of main roll, affect the quality of deformed ring significantly and the feed amount per revolution of ring in the form of their ratio. By their ratio, the interactive effects of the two forming parameters on the T-shaped cold ring rolling process are explored through 3D-FEM in Abaqus software. The results show: firstly the study objects (roll force, growth rate of diameter, degree of inhomogeneous deformation, filling capability of groove, average side spread and fishtail coefficient) are almost invariable if the two parameters are increased (or decreased) proportionally; secondly whether the ratio is changed by the feed rate of mandrel or by the rotational speed of main roll, the variation of each study object with the ratio is approximately the same; thirdly the increase of the ratio is beneficial to the growth of diameter and the restrictions of inhomogeneous deformation, average side spread and fishtail coefficient, but it causes the roll force to increase and the filling capability of groove to decrease.
Variation of the reaction conditions with Cu powder, Cu(NO 3 ) 2 , and t BuCCH as starting materials afforded three new Cu(I) alkynyl complexes, namely, [Cu 14 ( t BuCC) 10 (NO 3 ) 4 (MeOH) 2 ]•H 2 O (1), Cu 15 ( t BuC C) 14 (NO 3 ) (2), and [Cu 14 ( t BuCC) 8 (NO 3 ) 2 (CN) 4 ] n (3). Single-crystal X-ray analysis revealed that clusters 1 and 2 consist of Cu 14 and Cu 15 cores costabilized by strong by σand π-bonded tert-butylethynides and nitrates. Complex 3 displays an intriguing three-dimensional cyano-bridged Cu(I) alkynyl cluster-based framework, in which the existence of CN − is assumed to have originated from the Cu(I)-mediated C−C cleavage reaction of acetonitrile under mild solvothermal conditions.
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.
