2,5-Bis[2-(2-methoxy­ethoxy)phen­yl]-1,3,4-oxadiazole

In the title compound, C20H22N2O5, the central 1,3,4-oxadiazole ring is essentially planar [r.m.s. deviation from the best plane of 0.0011 Å] and makes dihedral angles of 4.10 (3) and 13.32 (4)° with the two benzene rings. In the crystal structure, the packing is stabilized by weak non-classical inter­molecular C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, which link the mol­ecules into an extended network

Analysis on the Risk and Supervision of P2P Online Financing Platforms in China

Microcredit is a vital breakthrough to solve the financial problems of low-income groups and small and medium-sized enterprises, while traditional microfinance providers can only meet a small proportion of their capital needs. By using internet technology, P2P online financing extends the innovative development of microcredit with the aim of solving traditional micro-credit problems. This paper mainly explores the existing online financing operation model of P2P in China, and summarizes the relevant problems, such as low entry barriers for P2P online financing enterprises and lack of supervision, Lack of verification on the qualification of borrowers and poor management of the platform, imperfect information revealed or providing false information by platform, etc. Finally, the article put forward some suggestions concerning the healthy development for the P2P online financing platform, including the establishing entry audit system and strengthening the supervision of the P2P platform, strengthening the management of borrowers and improving the credit collection system, and strengthening the disclosure of information by platform

Host-guest interaction of cucurbit[8]uril with n-(3-aminopropyl)cyclohexylamine: Cyclohexyl encapsulation triggered ternary complex

2018 by the authors. The host-guest interaction of a series of cyclohexyl-appended guests with cucurbit[8]uril (Q[8] ) was studied by 1 H NMR spectroscopy, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), and X-ray crystallography. The X-ray structure revealed that two cycloalkane moieties can be simultaneously encapsulated in the hydrophobic cavity of the Q[8] host to form a ternary complex for the first time

Crustal evolution of a continental magmatic arc from subduction to collision: a case study in the Gangdese arc, southern Tibetan Plateau

Magmatic arcs are the main environment where continental crust is created on the post-Archean Earth; however, how juvenile arc crust evolves into mature continental crust is still controversial. In this study, we report new bulk-rock major and trace elements, Sr-Nd isotopes, and zircon U-Pb ages and Hf isotopes from a large suite of granites collected from the eastern segment of the Gangdese arc, southern Tibetan Plateau, which record a complete history of arc crust evolution from Mesozoic subduction to Cenozoic collision. These new data show that Gangdese crust-derived granites generated during the subduction to collisional stages record significant geochemical changes with age, indicating that the bulk composition, lithological makeup, and thicknesses of the arc crust evolved over time. Here, we propose that the Gangdese arc had a thick juvenile crust with a small volume of ancient crustal components during late-stage subduction of the Neo-Tethys Ocean, a thin juvenile crust with heterogeneously distributed ancient crustal materials during early collision, and a thick juvenile crust with minor proportions of ancient rocks during late collision. This implies that the arc experienced episodes of crustal thickening during the Late Cretaceous and Eocene, interspersed by periods of thinning during the Paleocene and Miocene, and several discrete episodes of partial melting in the lower arc crust, and cycling or recycling of juvenile and ancient crustal materials within the arc crust and between the crust and mantle. We suggest that shallow subduction of the Neo-Tethys during the Late Cretaceous promoted tectonic thickening of the arc crust, partial melting of lower crust, and formation of high Sr/Y granites. After the onset of the Indo-Asian collision, breakoff of the subducted Neo-Tethyan oceanic slab during the Paleocene/early Eocene allowed thinning of the overlying arc crust and generation of granites derived from juvenile and ancient crustal sources. Continued underthrusting of the Indian continental crust and subsequent delamination of thickened lithospheric mantle led to thickening and thinning of the arc crust, respectively, and partial melting of thickened lower crust and generation of high Sr/Y granites during the Oligocene and Miocene. Using the Gangdese as an analogue for post-Archean continental margins, we suggest that the repeated thickening and thinning of arc crust, and associated multistage remelting of the lower arc crust, and material cycling or recycling within the crust and between the crust and mantle from subduction to collision are common processes that drive maturation of juvenile arc crust
