Pyramidal amide nitrogen in N-acyloxy-N-alkoxyureas and N-acyloxy-N-alkoxycarbamates

The XRD studies of N-acyloxy-N-alkoxyamides 1, 2 have revealed a highly pyramidal configuration of amide nitrogen in the O–N–O group

N,N-Dimethoxy-N-tert-alkylamines: new synthesis methods and the crystal structure of the precursor

Under the methanolysis of N-methoxy-N-(1-pyridinium)amines salts 1a–c, nucleophilic substitution occurs at the nitrogen atom to form N,N-dimethoxyamines 2a,b; the crystal structure of precursor 1c has been studied

N-Chloro-N-alkoxyureas: synthesis, structure and properties

The XRD studies of N-chloro-N-alkoxyureas 1, 2 have revealed the high pyramidality of the amide nitrogen in the O–N–Cl group caused by nO–s*N–Cl anomeric effect, the other sequence of this effect is anionic lability of the chlorine atom; nucleophilic substitution at the nitrogen depends on the N'-substitutent nature: chlorine atoms in ureas 1 and 5 are replaced by outer nucleophile whereas, under the same conditions, ureas 2–4 undergo cyclization into 1-alkoxybenzimidazolin-2-ones 10–12

Controlled dynamic screening of excitonic complexes in 2D semiconductors

We report a combined theoretical/experimental study of dynamic screening of excitons in media with frequency-dependent dielectric functions. We develop an analytical model showing that interparticle interactions in an exciton are screened in the range of frequencies from zero to the characteristic binding energy depending on the symmetries and transition energies of that exciton. The problem of the dynamic screening is then reduced to simply solving the Schrodinger equation with an effectively frequency-independent potential. Quantitative predictions of the model are experimentally verified using a test system: neutral, charged and defect-bound excitons in two-dimensional monolayer WS2, screened by metallic, liquid, and semiconducting environments. The screening-induced shifts of the excitonic peaks in photoluminescence spectra are in good agreement with our model

Hardware implementation of quantum stabilizers in superconducting circuits

Stabilizer operations are at the heart of quantum error correction and are typically implemented in software-controlled entangling gates and measurements of groups of qubits. Alternatively, qubits can be designed so that the Hamiltonian corresponds directly to a stabilizer for protecting quantum information. We demonstrate such a hardware implementation of stabilizers in a superconducting circuit composed of chains of $\pi$-periodic Josephson elements. With local on-chip flux- and charge-biasing, we observe a softening of the energy band dispersion with respect to flux that is exponential in the number of frustrated plaquette elements, in close agreement with our numerical modeling.Comment: 6+30 pages, 4+18 figures, 0+6 tables, published versio

Synthesis and structure of new N-alkoxy-N-(1-pyridinium)urea chlorides

New N-[1-(4-amino)pyridinium]-N-methoxyurea chloride, N-[1-(2-amino)pyridinium]-N-methoxyurea chloride and their analogs were synthesized by N-alkoxy-N-chloroureas reaction with the proper pyridines in acetonitrile or ether solution by improved procedure. XRD study of N-[1-(4-amino)pyridinium]-N-methoxyurea and N-[1-(2 amino)pyridinium]-N-methoxyurea revealed the elongation of N-N+ bonds and some shortening of MeO-N bonds, qunonoid deformation of pyridine rings compare to it unsubstituted analog. The substantial pyramidality of central nitrogen atom in O-N-N+ moiety and N-C carbamoyl bonds difference were established too. The structure summary of N-alkoxy-N-(1-pyridinium)ureas salts and other derivatives of 1-(N-alkoxyamino)pyridinium salts has been done
