Coordination disk-type nano-Saturn complexes

Two coordination disk-type nano-Saturn complexes were assembled. The highest number of 30 C–H⋯π interactions induces the formation of the nano-Saturns. Different photoinduced charge/energy transfer mechanisms quench the luminescence of the disk.

Revealing excited states dynamics in cross-linked covalent hybrids of graphene and diketopyrrolopyrrole oligomers via ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy

We report on ultrafast dynamics in cross-linked covalent hybrids of graphene and diketopyrrolopyrrole (TDPP) oligomers. Comparisons between non-polymerizing (EXG-TDPP) and polymerizing (c-EXG-TDPP) hybrids show that charge/energy transfer occurs faster than 50 ps in EXGTDPP, while the c-EXG-TDPP system shows quenching within 18 ps. The transient response of c-EXGTDPP is completely quenched (>99%), while in EXG-TDPP full quenching occurs after 1.39 ns. Photocurrent studies of c-EXG-TDPP films show IPCE > 2%, indicating ultrafast charge transfer between TDPP and graphene.

Features of schemes of the explosive loosening, with big slowdowns

The task of the article is to determine the influence of the blasting charge power on the intensity of preliminary destruction of the blasting block mass at long delays. Increase of the destruction radius r from the blasthole charges action at diagonal pattern of hole-by-hole blasting, caused by change of explosive charge energy or rock properties, decreases the number of stress waves passing in the vicinity of specific blast holes. They cause the rock disturbance in the pre-destruction area due to increasing of explosion energy absorption in the area of blasthole charges destruction. However, at the same time, the value of the predestruction factor increases. The calculation shows that 3.5 times increase of the blasthole charge destruction radius, reduces in 1.36 times the number of stress waves passing through the vicinity of specific blasthole charges, but the factor of pre-destruction intensity increases tenfold and the total impact of these factors – by a factor of 8.
