Geometric model of quantum navigation during (anti-)search on a plane

A model of joint random walk of two agents on an infinite plane is considered. The agents possess no means of mutual classical communication, but have access to quantum entanglement resource which is used according to a pre-arranged protocol. Depending on the details of the protocol, an effective force of attraction or repulsion emerges between the two agents. The emergence of this force from quantum entanglement is interpreted in terms of spherical or hyperbolic geometries for attraction or repulsion, respectively.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure

3-Amino-1-(thio­phen-2-yl)-9,10-dihydro­phenanthrene-2,4-dicarbonitrile

In the title compound, C20H13N3S, the partially saturated ring adopts a twisted half-boat conformation with the methyl­ene C atom closest to the amino­benzene ring lying 0.690 (6) Å out of the plane defined by the five remaining atoms. The dihydro­phenanthrene residue has a folded conformation [dihedral angle between the outer benzene rings = 26.27 (18)°]. The thio­phen-2-yl ring forms a dihedral angle of 63.76 (19)° with the benzene ring to which it is attached. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds generate R 2 2(12) loops. The dimers are linked into layers in the bc plane by weak C—H⋯π inter­actions. The thio­phen-2-yl ring is disordered over two essentially coplanar but opposite orientations in a 0.918 (4):0.082 (4) ratio

3-Amino-1-(3,4-dimeth­oxy­phen­yl)-9,10-dihydro­phenanthrene-2,4-dicarbonitrile

In the title compound, C24H19N3O2, the partially saturated ring adopts a distorted half-chair conformation with the methyl­ene-C atom closest to the amino­benzene ring lying 0.664 (3) Å out of the plane defined by the five remaining atoms (r.m.s. deviation = 0.1429 Å. The dihedral angle [32.01 (10)°] between the benzene rings on either side of this ring indicates a significant fold in this part of the mol­ecule. The dimeth­oxy-substituted benzene ring is almost orthogonal to the benzene ring to which it is attached [dihedral angle = 72.03 (9)°]. The mol­ecule has been observed previously as the major component of a 1:19 co-crystal with 2-amino-4-(3,4-dimeth­oxy­phen­yl)-5,6-dihydro­benzo[ha]quinoline-3-carbonitrile [Asiri et al. (2011). Acta Cryst. E67, o2873–o2873]. Supra­molecular chains with base vector [201] are formed in the crystal structure via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the amino H atoms of one mol­ecule inter­acting with the meth­oxy O atoms of a neighbouring mol­ecule. The chains are linked into a three-dimensional architecture by C—H⋯π inter­actions

(2E)-3-(1,3-Diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1-phenyl­prop-2-en-1-one

In the title compound, C24H18N2O, the pyrazole ring is essentially planar [maximum deviation = 0.004 (1) Å] and makes dihedral angles of 18.07 (4), 48.60 (4) and 9.13 (5)° with the phenyl rings. In the crystal, adjacent mol­ecules are connected via inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming dimers. Furthermore, the crystal structure is stabilized by weak C—H⋯π and π–π inter­actions, with centroid–centroid distances of 3.6808 (5) Å

A second monoclinic polymorph for 3-amino-1-(4-meth­oxy­phen­yl)-9,10-dihydro­phenanthrene-2,4-dicarbonitrile

The title compound, C23H17N3O, has been previously described in a monoclinic P21/c polymorph with Z = 4 [Asiri, Al-Youbi, Faidallah, Ng & Tiekink (2011). Acta Cryst. E67, o2449]. In the new monoclinic P21/n form, with Z = 8, there are two independent mol­ecules, A and B, in the asymmetric unit. In both mol­ecules, the cyclo­hexa-1,3-diene ring has a screw-boat conformation, whereas it is a distorted half-chair in the original polymorph. There is a fold in each mol­ecule, as indicated by the dihedral angle between the benzene rings of the 1,2-dihydro­naphthalene and aniline residues of 33.19 (10)° (mol­ecule A) and 30.6 (10)° (mol­ecule B). The meth­oxy­benzene ring is twisted out of the plane of the aniline residue to which it is connected [dihedral angles = 49.22 (10) and 73.27 (10)°, in A and B respectively]. In the crystal, the two independent mol­ecules self-associate via N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, generating a 12-membered {⋯HNC3N}2 synthon. These are connected into a supra­molecular tape in the (-101) plane by N—H⋯O(meth­oxy) inter­actions. In the P21/c polymorph, supra­molecular layers are formed by N—H⋯N and N—H⋯O inter­actions

Electrodeposition of Copper from a Choline Chloride based Ionic Liquid

采用恒电流和恒电位方法，基于含有氯化铜溶液的乙二醇-氯化胆碱或硫脲-氯化胆碱离子液体，室温下在钢阴极上进行了铜的电沉积. 利用扫描电子显微镜和X-射线衍射技术研究了各种实验条件对电沉积的影响以及沉积层的形貌. 结果表明，室温下施加不超过-0.45 V的沉积电位和不超过-4.0 A·m-2的沉积电流密度，可以同时从氯化胆碱基乙二醇和硫脲离子液体中沉积得到非常光滑、有光泽、致密且具有良好结合力、色泽鲜艳的铜金属涂层. 铜的电沉积阴极电流效率约为97%.The electrodeposition of copper from a solution containing copper chloride in either an ethylene glycol (EG)-choline chloride based or a urea-choline chloride based ionic liquid has been carried out onto a steel cathode by constant current and constant potential methods at room temperature. The influences of various experimental conditions on electrodeposition and the morphology of the deposited layers have been investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). It is shown that very smooth, shiny and dense with good adherence and bright metallic coloured copper coatings can be obtained from both EG and urea based ionic liquids at the applied deposition potentials up to -0.45 V and applied deposition current densities up to -4.0 A·m-2 at room temperature. The cathodic current efficiency for the deposition of copper is about 97%.The authors gratefully acknowledge the Ministry of Science and Technology, the People's Republic of Bangladesh for financial support of this work(Grand Reference No. MOSICT/PRC-24/2009-2010/BS-52/172).  The authors gratefully acknowledge the Ministry of Science and Technology, the People's Republic of Bangladesh for financial support of this work(Grand Reference No. MOSICT/PRC-24/2009-2010/BS-52/172).作者联系地址：拉杰沙希大学应用化学和化学工程系，拉杰沙希-6205, 孟加拉国Author's Address: Department of Applied Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, University of Rajshahi, Rajshahi-6205, Bangladesh通讯作者E-mail：[email protected]

(E)-1-(2,4-Dichloro­phen­yl)-3-(1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)prop-2-en-1-one

In the title mol­ecule, C24H16Cl2N2O, the dihedral angles between the pyrazole ring and its N- and C-bonded phenyl rings are 7.06 (10) and 53.15 (10)°, respectively. The dihedral angle between the two pendant rings is 52.32 (10)°. The mol­ecule exists in a trans conformation with respect to the acyclic C=C bond. In the crystal, inversion dimers occur in which each mol­ecule is linked to the other by two C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to the same acceptor O atom. There are also short Cl⋯Cl contacts [3.3492 (9) Å] and C—H⋯π inter­actions
