Two entangled 2D square COFs have been synthesized from 4,4',4'',4'''-(9,9'-spirobi[fluorene]-2,2',7,7'-tetrayl)-tetrabenzaldehhyde (SFTB) and p-phenylenediamine (PPA) and benzidine (BZD) to form COF-38, [(SFTB)(PPA)2]imine and its isoreticular form COF-39, [(SFTB)(BZD)2]imine. We also report the single crystal electron diffraction structure of COF-39 and find that it is composed of mutually entangled 2D square nets (sql). These COFs represent the first examples of entangled 2D COF structures, which as we illustrate were made possible by our strategy of using the distorted tetrahedral SFTB building unit. SFTB overcomes the propencity of 2D COFs to stack through π-π stacking and allows for entanglements to form. This work adds significantly to the design principles of COFs.

AbstractA range of authigenic sedimentary chlorites from sandstones has been studied by analytical transmission electron microscopy. Selected area (single crystal) electron diffraction patterns are of the Ib (β = 90°) polytype confirming the earlier observations of Hayes (1970).TEM analyses show all samples to be relatively rich in both Al and Fe. In the general formula (Mg,Fe,Al)n [Si8−xAlxO20](OH)16, x varies between 1.5 and 2.6; Fe/(Fe + Mg) between 0.47 and 0.83 and n between 10.80 and 11.54. Octahedral Al is close to 3 in this formulation and Fe2+ predominates over Fe3+. Swelling chlorites have significantly different compositions which are consistent with smectite/chlorite interstratifications.The Ib (β = 90°) polytype appears to be stable under conditions of moderate to deep burial. It replaces berthierine and swelling chlorites formed at lower temperatures. As commonly seen in grain coatings, however, it precipitates from porewater; solutes probably being contributed from several mineral decomposition reactions.

SummaryElectron micrographs of scarbroite show thin platy crystals of about 1 μ size, having rhombic outlines with angles 66° ± 1° and 113° ± 1°. Single-crystal electron-diffraction patterns show rectangular net patterns, with d100 = 9·90 Å., d010 = 14·67 Å., γ* = 90° ± 0·05°. Strong hk0 reflections show a pseudohexagonal arrangement, but true symmetry is probably orthorhombic or monoclinic. Faces outlining rhombic forms are of type {11l}, .

The high temperature crept tests of T91 steel have been conducted under two different stresses and temperatures. The single crystal electron diffraction is used to identify the precipitated phase structure. The quantity and size of carbides located in boundaries and intragranular area have been obtained by quantitative metallography, respectively. The results showed that the main precipitated carbides in T91 steel are M23C6(M=Fe,Cr) and V4C3,which is located in the grain and at the boundary of prior austenite respectively. In comparison with the carbides at boundary, the average size of intragranular carbides was smaller while the quantity is higher. The distribution of the carbides size crept with different stresses and temperatures is in accordance with a typical Boltzmann distribution.
