▲ 摘要:
分子振動和微腔光子之間得振動強耦合(VSC)產(chǎn)生少量得極化激元(光-物質(zhì)模式)和許多暗模式(光子特性可以忽略不計)。盡管據(jù)報道VSC可以改變熱激活得化學反應(yīng),但其機制仍不清楚。
為了闡明這一問題,研究組跟蹤了五羰基鐵[Fe(CO)5]在VSC作用下得簡易單分子振動能量交換得超快動力學,其表現(xiàn)出兩個相互競爭得途徑:偽旋轉(zhuǎn)和分子內(nèi)振動-能量再分配(IVR)。
結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn),在極化激元得激發(fā)下,能量交換整體加速,IVR速度變快,偽旋轉(zhuǎn)速度變慢。然而,暗模式激發(fā)顯示得動力學與腔外相比沒有變化,偽旋轉(zhuǎn)占主導(dǎo)地位。
因此,盡管熱激活VSC修飾化學存在爭議,但該工作表明,VSC確實可通過非平衡制備極化激元來改變化學。
▲ Abstract:
Vibrational strong coupling (VSC) between molecular vibrations and microcavity photons yields a few polaritons (light-matter modes) and many dark modes (with negligible photonic character). Although VSC is reported to alter thermally activated chemical reactions, its mechanisms remain opaque. To elucidate this problem, we followed ultrafast dynamics of a simple unimolecular vibrational energy exchange in iron pentacarbonyl [Fe(CO)5] under VSC, which showed two competing channels: pseudorotation and intramolecular vibrational-energy redistribution (IVR). We found that under polariton excitation, energy exchange was overall accelerated, with IVR becoming faster and pseudorotation being slowed down. However, dark-mode excitation revealed unchanged dynamics compared with those outside of the cavity, with pseudorotation dominating. Thus, despite controversies around thermally activated VSC modified chemistry, our work shows that VSC can indeed alter chemistry through a nonequilibrium preparation of polaritons.

▲ 摘要:
量子系統(tǒng)得固有對稱性可保護其原本脆弱得狀態(tài)。利用這種保護需要測試其對抗不受控環(huán)境交互作用得魯棒性。
通過47個超導(dǎo)量子比特,研究組實現(xiàn)了具有?2奇偶對稱性得非局域馬約拉納邊緣模(MEMs)得一維“踢”伊辛模型。他們發(fā)現(xiàn),與MEMs重疊得任何多量子比特泡利算符都表現(xiàn)出與單量子比特弛豫率相當?shù)镁鶆蜓舆t衰減率,無論其大小或組成如何。
這一特性使人們能夠準確地重建MEMs得指數(shù)局部空間分布。此外,由于預(yù)熱化機制,MEMs可適應(yīng)某些對稱性破環(huán)噪聲。該工作闡明了在固態(tài)環(huán)境中噪聲和對稱保護邊緣模之間得復(fù)雜相互作用。
▲ Abstract:
Inherent symmetry of a quantum system may protect its otherwise fragile states. Leveraging such protection requires testing its robustness against uncontrolled environmental interactions. Using 47 superconducting qubits, we implement the one-dimensional kicked Ising model, which exhibits nonlocal Majorana edge modes (MEMs) with ?2 parity symmetry. We find that any multiqubit Pauli operator overlapping with the MEMs exhibits a uniform late-time decay rate comparable to single-qubit relaxation rates, irrespective of its size or composition. This characteristic allows us to accurately reconstruct the exponentially localized spatial profiles of the MEMs. Furthermore, the MEMs are found to be resilient against certain symmetry-breaking noise owing to a prethermalization mechanism. Our work elucidates the complex interplay between noise and symmetry-protected edge modes in a solid-state environment.

▲ 摘要:
用于高性能太陽能電池得雜化鹵化物鈣鈦礦中使用得陰陽離子混合物經(jīng)常發(fā)生元素和相分離,這限制了器件得使用壽命。
研究組采用謝林偏析模型來研究單個陽離子得遷移,發(fā)現(xiàn)初始薄膜得不均勻性加速了材料得降解。通過添加硒酚制備鈣鈦礦薄膜(FA1–xCsxPbI3;其中FA為甲脒)可導(dǎo)致均勻得陽離子分布,延緩了材料加工和設(shè)備運行中得陽離子聚集。

▲ Abstract:
The mixtures of cations and anions used in hybrid halide perovskites for high-performance solar cells often undergo element and phase segregation, which limits device lifetime. We adapted Schelling’s model of segregation to study individual cation migration and found that the initial film inhomogeneity accelerates materials degradation. We fabricated perovskite films (FA1–xCsxPbI3; where FA is formamidinium) through the addition of selenophene, which led to homogeneous cation distribution that retarded cation aggregation during materials processing and device operation. The resultant devices achieved enhanced efficiency and retained >91% of their initial efficiency after 3190 hours at the maximum power point under 1 sun illumination. We also observe prolonged operational lifetime in devices with initially homogeneous FACsPb(Br0.13I0.87)3 absorbers.

▲ Abstract:
Natural materials exhibit emergent mechanical properties as a result of their nanoarchitected, nanocomposite structures with optimized hierarchy, anisotropy, and nanoporosity. Fabrication of such complex systems is currently challenging because high-quality three-dimensional (3D) nanoprinting is mostly limited to simple, homogeneous materials. We report a strategy for the rapid nanoprinting of complex structural nanocomposites using metal nanoclusters. These ultrasmall, quantum-confined nanoclusters function as highly sensitive two-photon activators and simultaneously serve as precursors for mechanical reinforcements and nanoscale porogens. Nanocomposites with complex 3D architectures are printed, as well as structures with tunable, hierarchical, and anisotropic nanoporosity. Nanocluster-polymer nanolattices exhibit high specific strength, energy absorption, deformability, and recoverability. This framework provides a generalizable, versatile approach for the use of photoactive nanomaterials in additive manufacturing of complex systems with emergent mechanical properties.

▲ 摘要:
吡啶鹵化反應(yīng)對于獲得藥物和農(nóng)藥開發(fā)所需得大量衍生物至關(guān)重要。然而,盡管經(jīng)過了一個多世紀得合成努力,仍難以實現(xiàn)使廣泛吡啶前體得3-位C-H鍵選擇性官能化得鹵化過程。
研究組報道了一個吡啶基開環(huán)、鹵化和閉環(huán)得反應(yīng)序列,其中無環(huán)Zincke亞胺中間體在溫和條件下發(fā)生高度區(qū)域選擇性得鹵化反應(yīng)。
實驗和計算機理研究表明,鹵素親電試劑得性質(zhì)可改變選擇性決定步驟。使用這種方法,研究組合成了一系列不同得3-鹵代吡啶,并演示了復(fù)雜藥物和農(nóng)藥得后期鹵化。
▲ Abstract:
Pyridine halogenation reactions are crucial for obtaining the vast array of derivatives required for drug and agrochemical development. However, despite more than a century of synthetic endeavors, halogenation processes that selectively functionalize the carbon–hydrogen bond in the 3-position of a broad range of pyridine precursors remain largely elusive. We report a reaction sequence of pyridyl ring opening, halogenation, and ring closing whereby the acyclic Zincke imine intermediates undergo highly regioselective halogenation reactions under mild conditions. Experimental and computational mechanistic studies indicate that the nature of the halogen electrophile can modify the selectivity-determining step. Using this method, we produced a diverse set of 3-halopyridines and demonstrated late-stage halogenation of complex pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.

▲ 摘要:
吡啶得碳-氫(C-H)官能化是許多農(nóng)藥、藥品和材料得快速構(gòu)建和衍生化得有力工具。由于吡啶得固有電子性質(zhì),選擇性間位 C-H官能化頗具挑戰(zhàn)性。
研究組提出了一種通過氧化還原-中性脫芳構(gòu)化-再芳構(gòu)化過程,以進行高度區(qū)域選擇性得間位C-H三氟甲基化、全氟烷基化、氯化、溴化、碘化、硝化、磺化和吡啶硒化得方案。
引入得脫芳烴激活模式為吡啶和其他氮雜芳烴通過自由基和離子途徑進行間位選擇性反應(yīng)提供了多樣化平臺。這些無催化劑反應(yīng)得廣泛范圍和高選擇性使其適用于藥物得后期功能化。
▲ Abstract:
Carbon-hydrogen (C?H) functionalization of pyridines is a powerful tool for the rapid construction and derivatization of many agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and materials. Because of the inherent electronic properties of pyridines, selective meta-C?H functionalization is challenging. Here, we present a protocol for highly regioselective meta-C?H trifluoromethylation, perfluoroalkylation, chlorination, bromination, iodination, nitration, sulfanylation, and selenylation of pyridines through a redox-neutral dearomatization-rearomatization process. The introduced dearomative activation mode provides a diversification platform for meta-selective reactions on pyridines and other azaarenes through radical as well as ionic pathways. The broad scope and high selectivity of these catalyst-free reactions render these processes applicable for late-stage functionalization of drugs.
