A two-dimensional porous framework SHU-1 could undergo solvent-induced structural transformations to SHU-1a in methanol and SHU-1b in water. SHU-1, SHU-1a and SHU-1b showed selective adsorption towards malachite green.

The possible structural transformations during the sample preparations and the sample observations are important issues in electron microscopy. Several publications of High Resolution Electron Microscopy (HREM) have reported that structural transformations and evaporation of the thin parts of a specimen could happen in the microscope. Diffusion and preferential etchings could also occur during the sample preparation.Here we report a structural transformation of a germanium Σ=13 (510) [001] tilt grain boundary that occurred in a medium-voltage electron microscopy (JEOL 400KV).Among the different (001) tilt grain boundaries whose atomic structures were entirely determined by High Resolution Electron Microscopy (Σ = 5(310), Σ = 13 (320), Σ = 13 (510), Σ = 65 (1130), Σ = 25 (710) and Σ = 41 (910), the Σ = 13 (510) interface is the most interesting. It exhibits two kinds of structures. One of them, the M-structure, has tetracoordinated covalent bonds and is periodic (fig. 1). The other, the U-structure, is also tetracoordinated but is not strictly periodic (fig. 2). It is composed of a periodically repeated constant part that separates variable cores where some atoms can have several stable positions. The M-structure has a mirror glide symmetry. At Scherzer defocus, its HREM images have characteristic groups of three big white dots that are distributed on alternatively facing right and left arcs (fig. 1). The (001) projection of the U-structure has an apparent mirror symmetry, the portions of good coincidence zones (“perfect crystal structure”) regularly separate the variable cores regions (fig. 2).

The work of William Sewell and Marshall Sahlins has led to a growing interest in recent years in events as a category of analysis and their role in the transformation of social structures. I argue that tying events solely to instances of significant structural transformation entails problematic theoretical assumptions about stability and change and produces a circumscribed field of events, undercutting the goal of developing an “eventful” account of social life. Social continuity is a state that is achieved just as much as are structural transformations, and events may be constitutive of processes of reproduction as well as change.

ABSTRACTThe advent of graphene created a revolution in materials science. Because of this there is a renewed interest in other carbon-based structures. Graphene is the ultimate (just one atom thick) membrane. It has been proposed that graphene can work as impermeable membrane to standard gases, such argon and helium. Graphene-like porous membranes, but presenting larger porosity and potential selectivity would have many technological applications. Biphenylene carbon (BPC), sometimes called graphenylene, is one of these structures. BPC is a porous two-dimensional (planar) allotrope carbon, with its pores resembling typical sieve cavities and/or some kind of zeolites. In this work, we have investigated the hydrogenation dynamics of BPC membranes under different conditions (hydrogenation plasma density, temperature, etc.). We have carried out an extensive study through fully atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using the reactive force field ReaxFF, as implemented in the well-known Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator (LAMMPS) code. Our results show that the BPC hydrogenation processes exhibit very complex patterns and the formation of correlated domains (hydrogenated islands) observed in the case of graphene hydrogenation was also observed here. MD results also show that under hydrogenation BPC structure undergoes a change in its topology, the pores undergoing structural transformations and extensive hydrogenation can produce significant structural damages, with the formation of large defective areas and large structural holes, leading to structural collapse.
