The gas-phase strengths of the A-Cl(-) bonds in ACl(5)(-), ACl(4)F(-), and A(CH(3))(3)Cl(2)(-) (A = Si, Ge, and Sn) have been determined by measuring thresholds for collision-induced dissociation in a flowing afterglow-tandem mass spectrometer. Bond dissociation energies increase in the order Si < Ge < Sn. Replacement of the three equatorial chlorides with methyl groups weakens the bonds, while replacing one axial chloride with a fluoride strengthens the bonds. Computational results using the B3LYP model with several basis sets parallel the experimental periodic trends, but provide bond dissociation energies lower than experiment by 7-44 kJ mol(-1). MP2 computational results are in better agreement with experiment. The results are consistent with steric hindrance and electrostatic effects playing significant roles in the bonding energetics.

Effect of Cl Radical on Dry Development of Spin-Coated Metal Oxide Resist.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

September 2024

School of Advanced Materials Science and Engineering, Sungkyunkwan University, Suwon 16419, Korea.

In this study, the effects of Cl radicals on dry development of spin-coated metal oxide resist (MOR) and changes in its surface binding states were investigated to verify the mechanism of dry development. Dry development characteristics of tin hydroxide (Tin OH), which is one of the MOR candidates for next generation lithography, were investigated as functions of process time and temperature using a Cl radicals source. Non-UV-exposed Tin OH film showed a linear etch rate (1.

Synthesis of --Cl,CF-Substituted Alkenes by Stereoselective Cross-Metathesis and the Role of Disubstituted Mo Alkylidenes.

J Am Chem Soc

August 2024

Department of Chemistry, Merkert Chemistry Center, Boston College, Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts 02467, United States.

Stereochemically defined organofluorine compounds are central to drug discovery and development. Here, we present a catalytic cross-metathesis method for the synthesis of -trisubstituted olefins that contain a Cl- and a CF-bound carbon terminus. Notably, the process is stereo, which is in contrast to the existing stereoretentive strategies that also involve a trisubstituted olefin as starting material.

For the most precise incorporation of single impurities in silicon, which is utilized to create quantum devices, a monolayer of adatoms on the Si(100) surface and a dopant-containing molecule are used. Here, we studied the interaction of phosphorus tribromide with a chlorine monolayer with mono- and bivacancies using a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) at 77 K. The combination of different halogens in the molecule and the adsorbate layer enabled unambiguous identification of the structures after PBr3 dissociation on Si(100)-Cl.

Quantum calculations provide a systematic assessment of the ability of Group 10 transition metals M = Pd and Pt to act as an electron donor within the context of pnicogen, chalcogen, and halogen bonds. These M atoms are coordinated in a square planar geometry, attached to two N atoms of a modified phenanthrene unit, as well as two ligand atoms Cl, Br, or I. As the Lewis acid, a series of AF molecules were chosen, which could form a pnicogen bond (A = P, As, Sb), chalcogen bond (A = S, Se, Te) or halogen bond (A = Cl, Br, I) with M.

In the marine boundary layer (MBL), chlorine (Cl) and chlorine monoxide (ClO) are powerful oxidants with high concentrations. The gas-liquid interface is also ubiquitous in the MBL as a favorable site for atmospheric reactions. Understanding the role of water in Cl/ClO radical chemistry is essential for predicting their behavior in the atmosphere and developing effective strategies for mitigating their harmful effects.
