	abstract = {A high-yielding synthetic route is disclosed for yttrium bis- and mono(amidate) complexes using the reaction of amide proligand and Y(N(SiMe3)(2))(3) starting materials. The structure, bonding, and solution phase characterization data for this new class of complexes are presented. The modular nature of the amidate ligand allows for easy addition of electron-withdrawing CF3 groups in the ligand backbone to tune electronic properties of the resulting precatalysts. The amidate ligands in the bis(amidate) complexes were found to be highly fluxional on the NMR time scale, while the mono(amidate) yttrium complex required heating to 110 degrees C before ligand redistribution was observed. Three bis(amidate) complexes with differing electronic properties and one mono(amidate) complex have been used as precatalysts for hydroamination using a wide range of aminoalkene substrates. Bis(amidate) complexes bearing the more electron-withdrawing amidate ligands were found to be the most active precatalysts for intramolecular alkene hydroamination.},

	abstract = {<p>A new implementation of density functional theory (DFT), namely orbital-corrected orbital-free (OO) DFT, has been developed. With at most two non-self-consistent iterations, OO-DFT accomplishes the accuracy comparable to fully self-consistent Kohn-Sham DFT as demonstrated by its application on the cubic-diamond Si and the face-centered-cubic Ag systems. Our work provides a new impetus to further improve orbital-free DFT method and presents a robust means to significantly lower the cost associated with general applications of linear-scaling Kohn-Sham DFT methods on large systems of thousands of atoms within different chemical bonding environment.</p>},

	abstract = {Dilute chromic acid and the organosilane bis-1,2-(triethoxysilyl)ethane (BTSE) were compared by their abilities to act as post-treatment rinses for samples of 2024-T3 aluminum alloy, which had previously been coated by zinc phosphate. The first approach is conventionally used to improve corrosion protection, but alternatives are needed because of environmental concerns with Cr(VI). Variations in conditions for application of the final rinse, especially through changes in solution concentration, were compared by measuring polarization curves, which provide an indication of corrosion stability. These comparisons were related to coating morphology, which was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and to studies of chemical composition with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. Immersion tests in NaCl solution were applied to post-treated zinc phosphate coatings that had been formed on mirror-polished alloy surfaces. Overall, the post-treatment in 4\% BTSE at 25 degreesC appears to provide a comparable corrosion resistance to that found when the final rinse is done in a conventional CrO3 Solution (concentration 0.5 g/l) at 70 degreesC. At the microstructural level, initial observations were also made for comparing the effects of the post-treatments at protecting alloy matrix areas adjacent to Al-Cu-Mg second-pbase particles.

	abstract = {The adhesion performance of bis-1,2-(triethoxysilyl)ethane (BTSE) coatings on high-purity aluminum surfaces, which have been subjected to a Forest Products Laboratory (FPL) pre-treatment for different times, has been assessed with secondary-ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). After coating, SIMS measurement of the ratio of peak intensities at 71 to 70 amu is used to identify the direct Al-O-Si bonding. The overall strength of the silane adhesion is assessed by comparing measurements of the Si 2p signals before and after application of an ultrasonic rinse to the coated sample. For the shorter FPL pre-treatment times (<10 min), substantial BTSE adsorption occurs on less-firmly anchored parts of the oxide which can be removed by the sonication test. The optimal adhesive bonding is indicated by these more microscopic studies to occur with the pre-treatments in the 10-25 min range, and this is in close correspondence with the normal FPL recipe that has been identified by performance in macroscopic tests. Pre-treatments longer than 25 min modify the surface topography further and give less direct Al-O-Si bonding, although the total BTSE adsorption is essentially constant and the adhesion remains strong enough to survive the sonication test.

In MeOH and in acetone, loss of amine and/or H-2 can occur. Traces of 1 and 2 are present after a Rh-catalyzed H-2-hydrogenation of PhCH=NCH2Ph in MeOH, where the amine is generated by hydrolysis of the imine substrate through adventitious water. The findings are relevant to catalyst poisoning in the catalytic process.},

The thickness and coverage of the BTSE film formed on a mechanically polished sample was found to be strongly affected by the distribution of second-phase particles on the alloy surface. Specifically, although the adsorption occurs on the alloy matrix away from the particles, and on the particles themselves, the regions immediately surrounding the particles had less BTSE. The amounts of this adsorption on an air-oxidized sample is increased on average, although the coating is non-uniform with regions (similar to100 mum) of higher and lower coverages. There appears to be a competition between the silane deposition and etching of the underlying oxide film for the initially oxidized sample. The adsorption of gamma-APS is different with films of relatively even thickness formed over large areas of the polished sample; hydrogen bonding through the amino groups probably helps the distribution in this case.
