    Treatment of 3,4-(ClC(O))2-cC4H2S (1) with [FcCH2OLi] (2-Li) (Fc = Fe(η5-C5H5)(η5-C5H4)) in a 1:2 ratio gave 3,4-(FcCH2OC(O))2-cC4H2S (3). Compound 3 decomposes in solution during crystallization to produce FcCH2OH (2) along with 3,4-thiophenedicarboxylic anhydride (4). The cyclic voltammogram of 3 exhibits a reversible ferrocene-related redox couple (E1/2 = 108 mV, vs. Cp2Fe/Cp2Fe+) using [NnBu4] [B(C6F5)4] as the supporting electrolyte. DFT calculations reveal that the energy values of the LUMO orbitals of 3 (3,4-thiophene core) show 1 eV higher energies than that one of 2,5-(FcCH2OC(O))2-cC4H2S (5), both compounds’ HOMO orbitals are close to each other. Compound 4 was characterized by single X-ray structure analysis. It forms a band-type structure based on intermolecular O1···S1 interactions being parallel to (110) and (1–10) in the solid state, while electrostatic C···O interactions between the C=O functionalities of adjacent molecules connect both 3D-networks. Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to gain more insight into the intermolecular interactions in 4, the enrichment ratios (E) suggest that O···H, S···S, and O···C are the most favored intermolecular interactions, as shown by E values above 1.20. The relevance of the weak O···H, O···O, and O···C contacts in stabilizing the molecular structure of 4 was highlighted by the interaction energies between molecular pairs

    Beryllium Dimer: A Bond Based on Non-Dynamical Correlation

    No full text
    The bond nature in beryllium dimer has been theoretically investigated using high-level <i>ab initio</i> methods. A series of ANO basis sets of increasing quality, going from sp to spdf ghi contractions, has been employed, combined with HF, CAS-SCF, CISD, and MRCI calculations with several different active spaces. The quality of these calculations has been checked by comparing the results with valence Full-CI calculations, performed with the same basis sets. It is shown that two quasi-degenerated partly occupied orbitals play a crucial role to give a qualitatively correct description of the bond. Their nature is similar to that of the edge orbitals that give rise to the quasi-degenerated singlet–triplet states in longer beryllium chains

    A Novel Approach by Needles in the Payzone of Heterogeneous Tight Carbonate: A Case Study for Offshore Marginal Field

    No full text
    The new Fish-bones Completion &amp; Stimulation approach by needles in the pay stack aims at addressing heterogeneous tight carbonate by increasing flow area in the lower permeable streaks, which is efficient as hundreds of tunnels drain connecting the borewell to the body of the reservoir to increase well productivity and oil recovery. The initial plan includes selecting the best ones from Stair step horizontal well, Dual Lateral well, five lateral fish-bone drilling, and horizontal drilling along with hydraulic fracture. Considering the lessons of failure to clean internal tubes, the modified 4-1/2” Liner is installed in the lower two sub-layer by jetting subs combing with production subs for matrix acidizing in the upper one sub-layer as per modified Fish-bones Completion Design. In addition, special acid-releasing float shoes and new fishing baskets are applied to avoid those previous problems with this well technique. The candidate well shows good oil test and production, which improved by three times at 2000bbl/d with respect to the initial plan in the B field. This paper describes the technology background and characteristics, design factors, modified design, execution, well test, and lessons learned during implementation
