Phosphenium cation acts as an electrophilic reagent and accepts σ electrons of formaldehyde to form a complex in the first addition step. The greater the positive charge on phosphorus atom in phosphenium cation, the more stable the formed complex is. Introduction of substituents will decrease positive charge on phosphorus atom in phosphenium cation. The order of positive charge on phosphorus atom is HP+–F > HP+–OH > HP+–NH2, which is consistent with their Lewis acidities. The complex transforms to a three-membered ring product via a transition state in the second cyclization step. The product is less stable than the complex due to its tension of small ring.","PeriodicalId":18027,"journal":{"name":"Main Group Chemistry","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78421655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The corrosion behavior of Ni-WC composite coatings was studied by the potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods in two corrosion media (0.1 M HCl) and (3.5% NaCl). EDS analysis affirms that WC is the incorporated particles and nickel is the blinder metal. The incorporation of WC particles in the nickel matrix forms heterogeneous deposits that contain deep and narrow pores. XRD pattern indicates good crystal structure with (110), (111), (200) and (311) preferred growth orientations. The reinforcement of Ni matrix by nan-sized WC particles refines the grains size of the coatings. Microhardness and roughness of the deposits increase with the increase of WC concentration in the electrolyte bath. Based on the lowest corrosion density and the highest charge transfer resistance value, corrosion tests show that the samples 4 g/L and 1 g/L immersed in the corrosive media of 3.5% NaCl and 0.1 M HCl are the optimum conditions, respectively.","PeriodicalId":18027,"journal":{"name":"Main Group Chemistry","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85348269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The composite material was compared with the bare and Al2O3-coated active materials by electrochemical tests to evaluate its performance in the lithium-ion battery. The resistance values of the solid-electrolyte interphase layer and charge transfer were investigated during cycling by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The composite material provided the lowest resistance values with high stability during cycling. The capacity retention of the composite material was 27.7% more in comparison to the bare material during 50 cycles of charge/discharge at a 0.5C rate. Remarkably, the rate capability was improved by using the composite material, with a specific capacity of over 130.9 mAh g–1 at a 3C rate, which means delivering 62.9 mAh g–1 more capacity than the bare NCA.

Different concentrations of silicon and vermicompost with and without drought stress were considered for growing the plant and the extracted essential oils were extracted to examine their antimicrobial effects against different bacterial agents. Using vermicompost and silicon and 50% moisture discharge yielded significant increase in the mean diameter of growth inhibition zone and significant decrease in the minimum inhibitory concentration of tested bacteria (P < 0.05). The highest diameters of the inhibition zones of S. aureus, S. saprophyticus, P. aeruginosa, S. dysenteriae, and S. typhi were found for C. scolymus essential oil treated with 8 mmol silicon and conventional irrigation (14.92 mm), 4 mmol silicon and 50% moisture discharge (15.28 mm), 50% vermicompost and 50% moisture discharge (15.71 mm), 8 mmol silicon and conventional irrigation (17.34 mm) and 25% vermicompost, and 50% moisture discharge (15.48 mm), respectively. Antimicrobial effects of some treatments of C. scolymus were higher than some kinds of referenced antibiotics such as erythromycin.

This study synthesizes and uses the cross-linked hydrogel sodium polyacrylate-decorated gold or silver nanoparticles (HSP/AuNPs or AgNPs) as immobilized support for peroxidase and FTIR characterizes it. The novel supports immobilized system properties enhanced biocompatibility. They have attained a greater immobilization yield (91% with HSP/AuNPs and 84% with HSP/AgNPs).
