    Heavy quark potential and the phase transitions in the continuum theory at finite temperature

    Full text link
    Heavy quark potential in the continuum theory at finite temperature is calculated in different phases by using the Polyakov loop as the order parameter. We find the linearly rising potential in the confinement phase, the Debye screened potential in the deconfinement phase and the perturbative r2r^{-2} dependence at very high temperatures. Within the approximation used in this paper we report an evidence of the first order phase transition accompanied by the SU(2)SU(2) symmetry restoration at very high temperatures in the static three dimensional theory.Comment: 10 pages, RevTeX, 2 PostScript figures appende

    Alkali-metal salts of 9,10-dimethyl-9,10-dihydro-9,10-diboraanthrancene (M2[DBA-Me2]; M+ = Li+, Na+, K+) activate the H–B bond of pinacolborane (HBpin) in THF already at room temperature. For M+ = Na+, K+, the addition products M2[4] are formed, which contain one new H–B and one new B–Bpin bond; for M+ = Li+, the H– ion is instantaneously transferred from the DBA-Me2 unit to another equivalent of HBpin to afford Li[5]. Although Li[5] might commonly be considered a [Bpin]– adduct of neutral DBA-Me2, it donates a [Bpin]+ cation to Li[SiPh3], generating the silyl borane Ph3Si–Bpin; Li2[DBA-Me2] with an aromatic central B2C4 ring acts as the leaving group. Furthermore, Li2[DBA-Me2] catalyzes the hydroboration of various unsaturated substrates with HBpin in THF. Quantum-chemical calculations complemented by in situ NMR spectroscopy revealed two different mechanistic scenarios that are governed by the steric demand of the substrate used: In the case of the bulky Ph(H)C=NtBu, the reaction requires elevated temperatures of 100 °C, starts with H–Bpin activation which subsequently generates Li[BH4], so that the mechanism eventually turns into “hidden borohydride catalysis”. Ph(H)C=NPh, Ph2C=O, Ph2C=CH2, and iPrN=C=NiPr undergo hydroboration already at room temperature. Here, the active hydroboration catalyst is the [4+2] cycloadduct between the respective substrate and Li2[DBA-Me2]: In the key step, attack of HBpin on the bridging unit opens the bicyclo[2.2.2]octadiene scaffold and gives the activated HBpin adduct of the Lewis-basic moiety that was previously coordinated to the DBA-B atom
