The following reagents were obtained commerceally and used as received: Scandium triflate [Sc(OTf)3], decamethylferrocene (Fc*), 1,1′-dimethylferrocene (Me2Fc), ferrocene (Fc), perchloric acid (70%), trifluoroacetic acid, hydrogen peroxide (30%) and NaI (Wako Pure Chemical Industries). Following literature procedures,28 (link) acetone was dried and distilled under Ar. The compounds [(tmpa)CuII(CH3CN)](ClO4)2 (1)29 (link) and bis(2-quinolinylmethyl)benzylamine (BzQ)30 were prepared as described.
[(BzQ)CuII(H2O)2](ClO4)2; (2) A 50 mL flask with BzQ (389 mg, 1.0 mmol) and Cu(ClO4)2 ·6H2O (370 mg, 1.0 mmol), as prepared and 20 mL MeOH was then added; the solution became blue and with stirring over 1 h, it yielded a precipitate consisting of blue microcrystals. The solid product 2 was collected employing a vacuum filtration procedure and then and washed with 15mL MeOH, and dried under vacuum. (599 mg, 0.86 mmol, 86% yield) Anal. Calcd (C28H29Cl2CuO10N3): C, 47.14; H, 3.96; N, 6.11. Found: C, 47.15; H, 3.87; N, 6.06. X-ray quality crystals were obtained by allowing pentane to slowly diffuse into a saturated acetone solution of 2.

Flexible Carbon-Based Film Synthesis

The free-standing flexible carbon-based films used in this study were prepared using sub-millimeter-long FWCNTs (6 to 10 nm diameter, 400 μm length, triple-walled on average). Detailed experimental information on the FWCNT synthesis was presented in our previous reports [18 (link)]; accordingly, only brief explanations are provided here. The FWCNTs were grown by the novel semi-continuous fluidized-bed chemical vapor deposition process in a quartz-tube thermal furnace with an Fe/Al2O3 catalyst deposited onto Al2O3 beads by feeding metalorganic vapors of aluminum-isopropoxide (95%, Wako, Osaka, Japan) and ferrocene (98%, Wako, Osaka, Japan) sequentially, using a carrier gas of O2/Ar balance [18 (link)]. Subsequently, the catalyst was reduced by flowing an H2/H2O/Ar balance for 10 min, following which the FWCNTs were synthesized on the Al2O3 beads with a C2H2/H2/H2O/Ar atmosphere for 10 min [19 (link)]. The MPCFs (Dialead, K223HE, 11 μm diameter, 200 μm and 6 mm length) were purchased from Mitsubishi Plastic Inc. (Tokyo, Japan). The organic Ag (5% organic Ag methanol dispersion, amine-based silver chelate mixture) was purchased from Ditto Technology Co. Ltd (Gunpo-si, Gyeonggi-do, Korea).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
