Neste trabalho foi desenvolvido uma metodologia sintética para a obtenção de adutos de Knoevenagel empregando a radiação de micro-ondas. Os adutos foram usados como precursores sintéticos para a obtenção de compostos tetrazólicos, reações de acoplamento de Suzuki-Miyaura, adutos cromenos e em bio-hidrogenação. A primeira etapa realizada foi a reação e a otimização da condensação de Knoevenagel usando derivados de aldeído aromático, malononitrila e água em um reator de micro-ondas por 30 min, 20 W fornecendo rendimentos de 80-99 %. Também foi observado que para o trans-metil-cinamaldeído ocorreu a formação do produto de condensação de Knoevenagel e posteriormente a formação de um produto dimérico com rendimento de 96 % por uma reação de ciclo adição [2+2] via fotoquímica. Adicionalmente foi realizada a síntese de adutos de Knoevenagel com aldeídos aromáticos e cianoacetamida fornecendo produtos diaestereoisoméricos com configuração E e rendimentos entre 90-99 %. Na segunda etapa foi realizada a obtenção de compostos tetrazólicos via one-pot entre aldeídos aromáticos, malononitrila e azida de sódio empregando água como solvente em um reator de micro-ondas por 4 h, 60 W fornecendo rendimentos de 85-99 %. Foi realizado o uso de aditivos de caráter ácido-básico na síntese do tetrazóis, observando que para o sistema N(Et)3-CuSO4 forneceu um rendimento de 90 % em um tempo de 2 h para (E)-3-fenil-2-(1H-tetrazol-5-il)acrilonitrila. Na terceira parte foram desenvolvidas reações de acoplamento de Suzuki-Miyaura a partir dos adutos de Knoevenagel com grupos halogênios (F, Cl e Br) em um reator de micro-ondas por 30 min, 60W fornecendo rendimentos de 80-97 %. Também foi realizada a reação de Knoevenagel-Suzuki-Miyaura one-pot empregando a radiação de micro-ondas fornecendo rendimentos de 82-98 %. Na quarta parte do trabalho foram sintetizados cromenos a partir de adutos de Knoevenagel com 5,5-dimetil-1,3-ciclo-hexanodiona em um reator de micro-ondas por 25 min, 60 W fornecendo rendimentos de 94-99 %. Também foram obtidos cromenos com os compostos tetrazólicos derivados de adutos de Knoevenagel por radiação micro-ondas fornecendo rendimentos de 85-98 %. Por último os adutos de Knoevenagel foram bio-hidrogenados pelo fungo marinho Penicillum citrinum CBMAI 1186 obtendo rendimentos de reação entre 12-99 %. Observou-se para a 2-(4-nitrobenzilideno)malononitrila uma reação de retro-Knoevenagel causada por efeitos eletrônicos eletroatratores. Também observou-se a presença de várias enzimas no meio de cultura de fungo P. citrinum CBMAI 1186 como: enoato redutase, nitro redutase, ceto redutase e nitrila hidratase. Também realizaram-se estudos dos tempos de reação da síntese de Knoevenagel por micro-ondas, para o qual foram empregados aditivos como: SiO4, CuSO4, imidazol, fibroína, fibra da paina e fibroína-CuSO4. Este último aditivo forneceu um rendimento de 74 % em 10 min para a 2-benzilidenomalononitrila. Em geral o estudo desenvolvido na otimização da reação de condensação de Knoevenagel e o desenvolvimento da metodologia para a obtenção de compostos tetrazólicos, adutos de acoplamento de Suzuki-Miyaura, cromenos foram bastante satisfatórios, assim como, as reações de bio-hidrogenação de sistemas α,β-insaturados. / The present work describes a synthetic methodology to obtain Knoevenagel adducts by microwave radiation.

Curvas termogravimétricas e térmicas diferenciais simultâneas (TG/ATD) em conjunto com medidas de difração de raios X (DRX) mostraram que o tratamento HMO contribuiu para uma maior cristalização da fase hidróxido de níquel. A retração linear dos compactos durante o processo de sinterização foi observada por análise termomecânica (ATM) e os resultados obtidos indicaram uma maior sinterabilidade para as amostras submetidas ao tratamento HMO. Compactos cerâmicos foram sinterizados em forno convencional resistivo e micro-ondas. Estes compactos tiveram suas microestruturas analisadas por microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV) e propriedades elétricas investigadas por espectroscopia de impedância (EI). As imagens de MEV apresentaram homogeneidade das fases presentes e grãos com tamanho submicrométrico. As medidas de EI mostraram que as amostras tratadas em sistema hidrotermal assistido por micro-ondas, apresentaram aumento de condutividade elétrica para temperaturas acima de 500 ºC, independentemente do tipo de sinterização. / Dissertação (Mestrado) / IPEN/D / Instituto de Pesquisas Energeticas e Nucleares - IPEN-CNEN/SP

Spin resonance of a two-dimensional electron system confined in a GaN/AlGaN heterostructure grown by molecular beam epitaxy was resistively detected over a wide range of magnetic field and microwave frequency. Although the spin-orbit interaction is strong in this type of heterostructure at zero magnetic field, surprisingly the width of the detected spin resonance line was very narrow—down to 6.5 mT at 13.3 T. The spin depolarization time extracted from the resonance linewidth was estimated to be 2 ns. The electron g-factor was measured with high accuracy, resembling a value close to the free-electron value and its dependence on the magnetic field was studied.

We are reporting on a study of the near-field sensitivity and resolution of a metal-dielectric probe (MDP). The propagation of the electromagnetic field across the probe was studied experimentally by means of time-domain terahertz spectroscopy and numerically simulated by CST MicroWave Studio 2008. Several localised areas at the probe end facet were distinguished and showed to be sensitive to the local dielectric properties and local anisotropy of the sample. Contrast and sensitivity measurements were conducted in several configurations of a MDP; the results were confirmed by simulations. The acquired data were analysed by using singular value decomposition that enabled separating independent physical phenomena in the measured datasets and filtering external disturbances out of the signal. Independent components corresponding to the changes in the output terahertz pulse upon varying the probe-sample distance and reflecting the local anisotropy in a ferroelectric barium titanate (BaTiO3) crystal were extracted and identified. The domain structure with characteristic dimensions of about 5 um was resolved during imaging experiments on the ferroelectric BaTiO3 sample, i.e. the resolved structures were ten times smaller than the characteristic dimensions of the end facet of the probe and forty times smaller than...

The effect of microwave radiation on the prepared 0.5Fe/ZSM-5 catalysts as a post-synthesis modification step was studied in the methanol-to-hydrocarbons process using the temperature-programmed surface reaction (TPSR) technique. This was achieved by preparing a series of 0.5Fe/ZSM-5 based catalysts under varying microwave power levels (0–700 W) and over a 10 s period, after iron impregnating the HZSM-5 zeolite (Si/Al = 30 and 80). Physicochemical properties were determined by XRD, SEM, BET, FT-IR, C3H9N-TPSR, and TGA techniques. It was found that microwave radiation induced few changes in the bulk properties of the 0.5Fe/ZSM-5 catalysts, but their surface and catalytic behavior were distinctly changed. Microwave radiation enhanced crystallinity and mesoporous growth, decreased coke and methane formation, decreased the concentration of Brønsted acidic sites, and decreased surface area and micropore volume as the microwave power level was increased from 0 to 700 W. From the TPSR profiles, it was observed that microwave radiation affects the peak intensities of the produced hydrocarbons. Application of microwave radiation shifted the desorption temperatures of the MTH process products over the HZSM-5(30) and HZSM-5(80) based catalysts to lower and higher values respectively. The MeOH-TPSR profiles showed that methanol was converted to DME and subsequently converted to aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. It is reasonable to suggest that microwave radiation would be an essential post-synthesis modification step to mitigate coke formation and methane formation and increase catalyst activity and selectivity. / Chemical Engineering / M.

This thesis deals with interaction of microwave radiation with wet in porous material. It examines the distribution of the temperature field, the efficiency of the method and the financial demands of the method. The most important part of this thesis was an experiment, from which all important values ??were based. The first part deals with the necessary theory and the second part is the experiment itself. The experiment was carried out for three levels of material wet. Eight samples were used for this experiment, which remained unchanged throughout the experiment. The thesis draws on previous researches that were carried out on this or similar topic.
