Demonstrating Vibrational Current Generation With a Self‐Assembled Bioelectret
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Vacuum‐deposited films of the plant‐derived molecule, Baicalein, form a self‐assembled bioelectret exhibiting spontaneous orientation polarization and a giant surface potential. The films induce alternating current during the vibration of a movable electrode without charging treatments. Hydrocarbon protection enhances the air stability of the Baicalein

Reactions of Phenolic Mannich Bases with Phenols
The Journal of the Society of Chemical Industry, Japan, 1958 1)フェノールマンニッヒ塩基とフェノール類との反応は,フェノール性OH基の酸性度が大きいほど分解反応大でまたフェノール類添加により促進されるが,アニソールのようにOH基を有しないと促進しない。2)ニトロフェノール,アニリン等の添加により分解反応が促進される。また,これがオルトマンニッヒ塩基と,パラ,マンニッヒ塩基とにより大きく差を生じ,オルトマンニッヒ塩基において効果大で,パラマンニッヒ塩基であまり効果を認めなかった。3)オルトマンニッヒ塩基で,2,4-二置換フェノールを用いたものと相手フェノールを2,4-ジメチルフェノールとの,反応で, 発生ジメチルアミンの追跡により, 初期反応を2 次反応速度として取扱うことができる。マンニッヒ塩基の置換基RがCH3では活性化熱13.6kcal/mol ...
