A novel vertical 3D RRAM structure with greatly improved reliability behavior is proposed and experimentally demonstrated through basically compatible process featuring self-localized switching region by sidewall electrode oxidation. Compared with the conventional structure, due to the effective confinement of the switching region, the newly-proposed structure shows about two orders higher endurance (>108 without verification operation) and better retention (>180h@150 °C), as well as high uniformity. Corresponding model is put forward, on the base of which thorough theoretical analysis and calculations are conducted as well, demonstrating that, resulting from the physically-isolated switching from neighboring cells, the proposed structure exhibits dramatically improved reliability due to effective suppression of thermal effects and oxygen vacancies diffusion interference, indicating that this novel structure is very promising for future high density 3D RRAM application.
The first Ru-catalyzed redox-neutral C-H activation reaction via N-N bond cleavage is reported. Pyrazolidin-3-one is demonstrated as an internally oxidative directing group that enables C-H annulation reactions with a broad scope of alkynes, including previously incompetent terminal alkynes. Pharmacologically privileged 3-(1H-indol-1-yl)propanamides were synthesized in high yields.
An anodic oxidation/cyclization of 2-arylbenzoic acids for the synthesis of dibenzopyranones has been developed. The reaction proceeds at room temperature with no oxidant or electrolyte required and exhibits a high atom economy with H being the only byproduct. A series of dibenzopyranones was obtained in good to excellent yields. Urolithins A, B, and C are formally synthesized by adopting this method as a key step to demonstrate its synthetic utility.
We report a set of electrochemically regulated protocols for the divergent synthesis of ketones and β-keto esters from the same β-hydroxycarboxylic acid starting materials. Enabled by electrochemical control, the anodic...
A green and efficient synthesis of azaheterocyclic acetamides has been developed that significantly reduces the consumption of nitrogen-containing reagents from more than 20 equiv in previously reported methods to 1.5 equiv. This reduction decreased both the pollution potential and cost, especially if the nitrogencontaining reagent is expensive and difficult to recycle. Therefore, this strategy is environmentally friendly and sustainable. Moreover, this process uses economical inorganic peroxysulfate as an oxidant to initiate the difunctionalization of alkenes via aminoformyl radicals and aryl C(sp 2 )−H bonds, providing efficient and sustainable access to a broad substrate scope and promising functional group tolerance. Notably, a series of unreported dioxoisoquinolines and oxindole derivatives were synthesized by applying this green method, which highlights its potential utility in medicine-related clinical research.
Polyol-substituted cyclic ethers are fundamental building blocks of biomolecules. The position and stereochemistry of multiple hydroxy substituents of cyclic ethers play a central role in their biological function. Current methods for the synthesis of such structures are limited to "naked" ring products with no or few substituents. Here we describe a general route to medium-sized polyol cyclic ethers using a migratory ether formation strategy. In contrast to the common pathway of direct opening of epoxides, Me Al was found to promote an unprecedented ether addition reaction, opening a neighboring epoxide. The resulting oxonium intermediate triggers a 1,3-methyl shift to yield 2-deoxyribital products. When the hemiacetal auxiliary is a monosaccharide, the sugar ring is expanded by four atoms to give the corresponding 9- to 11-membered analogues. This method provides an entry into the untapped chemical space of medium-sized sugar mimetics.
A Tag-Sec fluorescent probe was designed that could detect both thioredoxin reductase and selenocysteine with high sensitivity, selectivity, broad pH tolerance and good water solubility.
