Doping as one of the popular methods to manipulate the properties of nanomaterials has received extensive application in deriving different types of graphene derivates, while the understanding of the resonance properties of dopant graphene is still lacking in literature. Based on the large-scale molecular dynamics simulation, reactive empirical bond order potential, as well as the tersoff potential, the resonance properties of N-doped graphene were studied. The studied samples were established according to previous experiments with the N atom’s percentage ranging from 0.38%-2.93%, including three types of N dopant locations, i.e., graphitic N, pyrrolic N and pyridinic N. It is found that different percentages of N-dopant exert different influence to the resonance properties of the graphene, while the amount of N-dopant is not the only factor that determines its impact. For all the considered cases, a relative large percentage of N-dopant (2.65% graphitic N-dopant) is observed to introduce significant influence to the profile of the external energy, and thus lead to an extremely low Q-factor comparing with that of the pristine graphene. The most striking finding is that the natural frequency of the defective graphene with N-dopant’s percentage higher than 0.89% appears larger than its pristine counterpart. For the perfect graphene, the N-dopant shows larger influence to its natural frequency. This study will enrich the current understanding of the influence of dopants on graphene, which will eventually shed lights on the design of different molecules-doped graphene sheet.

Atazanavir is one of the most prescribed HIV-1 protease inhibitors approved by the FDA. It was the first protease inhibitor approved for once-a-day dosing to treat AIDS due to good oral bioavailability and favorable pharmacokinetic profile. This research aims to develop a new synthetic cost effective process for biaryl-hydrazine unit {tert-butyl 2-[4-(2-pyridinyl)benzyl]hydrazinecarboxylate} of atazanavir on a large scale. The synthesis involved palladium catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of 2-chloropyridine and (4-cyanophenyl)boronic acid followed by DIBAL-H reduction of cyano group to aldehyde which is then treated with tert-butyl carbazate to furnish hydrazone subsequently in situ reduction with NaBH4. A large scale synthesis of biaryl-hydrazine unit of atazanavir was accomplished in three steps with 71% overall yield. We have developed a short and efficient synthesis of atazanavir key intermediate biaryl-hydrazine unit. The process does not require the usage of Grignard reagent, expensive catalyst, protection/deprotection of aldehyde moiety and catalytic hydrogenation.

Abstract New techniques to manipulate the electronic properties of few layer 2D materials, unveiling new physical phenomena as well as possibilities for new device applications have brought renewed interest to these systems. Therefore, the quest for reproducible methods for the large scale synthesis, as well as the manipulation, characterization and deeper understanding of these structures is a very active field of research. We here report the production of nitrogen doped bilayer graphene in a fast single step (2.5 minutes), at reduced temperatures (760 °C) using microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (MW-PECVD). Raman spectroscopy confirmed that nitrogen-doped bilayer structures were produced by this method. XPS analysis showed that we achieved control of the concentration of nitrogen dopants incorporated into the final samples. We have performed state of the art parameter-free simulations to investigate the cause of an unexpected splitting of the XPS signal as the concentration of nitrogen defects increased. We show that this splitting is due to the formation of interlayer bonds mediated by nitrogen defects on the layers of the material. The occurrence of these bonds may result in very specific electronic and mechanical properties of the bilayer structures.

A convenient, large-scale, and cost-efficient synthesis of 4,5-diarylsubstituted N,N-diarylimidazolium salts is described. A variety of 1,3,4,5-tetraaryl imidazolium salts with increasing electron donation and steric bulk of the N-aryl groups was synthesized in good yields. In the key step, readily available N,N′-diarylthioureas and benzoin/anisoin are coupled to give imidazole-2-thiones, followed by imidazolium salt formation by oxidative desulfurization. In this way, N,N-diarylimidazolium salts with 2-methoxy, 2-methyl, and 2-isopropyl substituents could be obtained; the synthesis of their 2-tert-butyl, 2,6-dimethyl, and 2,6-diisopropyl analogues failed.
