The effect of Mg morphology on the irregular behavior of the electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance in Mg[N(CF3SO2)2]2/glyme solutions was written by Sagane, Fumihiro;Muramatsu, Akiya. And the article was included in Electrochemistry (Tokyo, Japan) in 2022.Synthetic Route of C8H18O4 This article mentions the following:
Mg plating/stripping reaction in Mg[N(CF3SO2)2]2/glyme based solution is studied by electrochem. quartz crystal microbalance method. During the cyclic voltammetry, the apparent mass decrease is observed in spite of the neg. scan. The irregular response also appears in the Mg plating reaction with low constant c.d. apply. In the cases, Mg plating takes place locally and the size of each plating is relatively large of about 50娓璵. The cross-sectional image of the plated Mg is tree-like structure, i.e., the large Mg crystal connects to the substrate with small contact area. From the results, we conclude that the specific Mg morphol. causes the restoring force to the quartz substrate, resulting in the apparent mass decrease. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2,5,8,11-Tetraoxadodecane (cas: 112-49-2Synthetic Route of C8H18O4).
2,5,8,11-Tetraoxadodecane (cas: 112-49-2) belongs to ethers. Ether is less polar than esters, alcohols or amines because of the oxygen atom that is unable to participate in hydrogen bonding due to the presence of bulky alkyl groups on both sides of the oxygen atom. But ether is more polar than alkenes. Ethers feature bent C閳ユ彊閳ユ弲 linkages. In dimethyl ether, the bond angle is 111鎺?and C閳ユ彊 distances are 141 pm. The barrier to rotation about the C閳ユ彊 bonds is low. The bonding of oxygen in ethers, alcohols, and water is similar. In the language of valence bond theory, the hybridization at oxygen is sp3.Synthetic Route of C8H18O4
