ABSTRACTThe adsorption of formic acid (HCOOH), acrylic acid (CH2= CHCO2H), propiolic acid (HC=CCO2H), and the corresponding alcohols on the Si(111)(7×7) surface have been investigated by NEXAFS. In each case, well-defined dipole transitions to σ* and π* molecular orbital s were observed above the C and 0 K-edges and used to probe the orientation and chemistry of these molecules on this silicon surface. Monolayer coverages of these molecules on silicon, bond strongly to the silicon surface via the carboxylic acid or alcohol group. In contrast, the C-C double and triple bonds of these molecules do not react initially with the silicon surface. Upon heating, however, the C-C double and triple bonds which are held in proximity to the surface by the carboxylic acid or alcohol group, are lost either by polymerization on the surface or reaction with the silicon substrate. These results illustrate the capabilities of NEXAFS to investigate molecular orientations on surfaces and the electronic structure of polyatomic adsorbates.

The cis–trans-isomerism of the propiolic acid monomer (HCC–COOH) is examined with linear Raman jet spectroscopy, yielding the first environment-free vibrational band centres of a higher-energy cis-rotamer beyond formic acid (HCOOH) in addition to all fundamentals and a large number of hot and combination/overtone bands of the trans-conformer.

The orientation of cyclization of the reaction of methyl aroylacrylate (1) and aroylacrylic acid (8) with ethyl acetoacetate and/or thiourea leading to the formation of 4-aroylmethylcyclopentane-1,3-dione (2) 5-aryl-3-oxocyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid (9), 2-imino-5-aroylmethylthiazolidin-4-one (11) and 6-aryl-2-sulfonylpyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid (14) depends on the medium employed; some compounds show moderate antiviral activities against tobacco necrosis virus.

The paper deals with obtaining of textured silicon surfaces by chemical etching. As a result of experiments based on the modification and optimization of obtaining a textured silicon, several methods of chemical texturing of the crystalline silicon surface were developed. It was shown that modified isotropic and anisotropic etching methods are applicable to create a microrelief on the surface of silicon substrate. These methods in addition to their high conversion efficiency can be used for both mono- and multicrystalline silicon which would ensure their industrial use.

α-Cyano-β-arylacrylic acids have been prepared by condensing the following aldehydes with sodium cyanoacetate: 1-naphthaldehyde, 2,3-dimethoxybenzaldehyde, 3,4-diethoxybenzaldehyde, 6-chloropiperonal, 4-isopropylbenzaldehyde, 2-acetoxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde, 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde. The last-named gave α-cyano-β (2-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl) acrylic acid, which was readily converted to 8-methoxycoumarin-3-carboxylic acid.

ABSTRACTThe porous silicon (PS) surface is derivatized with ethanol, triethylsilanol and formic acid as well as oxidized with water. The two reactions used to prepare these surfaces are discussed, and FTIR spectra of the products are presented. Surface-modified PS retains 10-40% of its original photoluminescence. PS-derivatives display reversible luminescence quenching by gas phase water, ethanol, acetonitrile and benzene. The extent of quenching varies with different PS-derivatives depending on the interaction of the chemical vapor with the modified PS surfaces.

AbstractThis paper describes the growth mechanism of silicon whisker on a silicon substrate using hot filament CVD reactor. Only hydrogen is used as source gas. The particle layer could be obtained at high filament current condition under hydrogen ambient. XPS analysis result suggests that the particle is composed of tungsten silicide. The deposition condition of the particle layer is much depended on the substrate size, surface condition and the distance between the substrate and the filament. The experimental results suggest that the silicon hydride, which generated at the silicon surface by hydrogen radical etching, react with the tungsten filament material around the filament, depositing on the silicon substrate. The silicon surface is etched by hydrogen radical and its resultant surface morphology is much depended on the particle deposition pattern. Many silicon whiskers, which diameter is varied from 10 to 50 nm, are observed on the textured silicon surface when the residence time of the source gas in the reactor is long. Each whisker has a silicon particle on their tip. The silicon hydride generated by the hydrogen radical etching is much absorbed to the silicide particle when the source gas residence time is long, enabling the silicon whisker growth from the particle. The results suggest that nm size whisker structure is much stable compare to the bulk silicon against etching reaction.
