We report a comprehensive study on the synthesis, reactivity, mechanism, and computation for the β-alkynyl eliminations of secondary and tertiary propargylic alkoxides of Cu( i ) complexes supported by N-heterocyclic carbenes and diphosphines.
Here, the utility of the sterically bulky terphenylthiolate ligand, (SAr iPr6 ) 1− in expanding uranium reductive chemistry has been explored. Reduction of U(SAr iPr6 ) 2 I forms the U(II) complex, U(SAr iPr6 ) 2 , in which the metal is protected by the flanking arene rings of the ligand, but they move out of the way to accommodate the four electron reduction of PhN=NPh to form the U(VI) bis(imido) product U(SAr iPr6 ) 2 (=NPh) 2 (THF) 2 . Here, the KC 8 reduction of U(SAr iPr6 ) 2 generates a more reduced complex, KU(μ-SAr iPr6 ) 2 , initially identified by a −2.55 V vs. Fc + /Fc electrochemical reduction event in THF.
Epitaxial lattice matching is an important condition for the formation of coherent interfaces with low defect densities. However, lattice-matched substrates with the same crystal structure as the active layer are often not available, suggesting opportunities for utilizing heterostructural interfaces. For example, at high Al contents that are interesting for ultrawide-gap applications in power electronics, Al x Ga 1-x N semiconductor alloys in the (0001) orientation of the wurtzite (wz) structure become lattice-matched to (111)-oriented rocksalt (rs) TaC substrates. To predict the expected interface atomic structures under different synthesis conditions, we perform high-throughput density-functional-theory calculations, using an algorithm for systematic sampling of the possible stacking sequences of the atomic layers on the in-plane hexagonal lattice. The approach considers octahedral, tetrahedral, and prismatic coordination motifs, and is generally applicable for the modeling of commensurate rs/wz heterostructural interfaces. Our results provide guidance for synthesis control of substrate-film bonding and the polarity of ultrawide-gap Al x Ga 1-x N alloys on TaC substrates.

Cyclic furnace oxidation studies were conducted on the cobalt alloy WI-52 clad with Ni-30Cr, Fe-25Cr-4A1, and Ni-20Cr-4A1 foils (0.051 to 0.254 mm thick). Tests as long as 400 hours using 1- and 20-hour cycles showed that the Ni-Cr- and Fe-Cr-A1 claddings were about equally protective at both temperatures. The protective ability of these alloys was influenced by exposure temperature and cladding thickness. At both temperatures, they protected WI-52 about as well as, or better than, a widely used commercial aluminide coating. The Ni-Cr-Al claddings did not protect WI-52 nearly as well. Interdiffusion generally influenced the oxidation behavior of all clad WI-52 systems.
