Halide perovskites possess ultra-low thermal conductivity and show high potential for thermoelectric devices. The chemical properties and molecular structure of halide perovskite materials are not completely stable under ambient conditions, which hinders their use in thermoelectric generators. Changes in the properties of bulk halide perovskite thermoelectrics are accompanied by partial phase transitions and surface oxidation processes. In this paper, we conducted a comprehensive study of the transport and structural properties of CsSnI3, which were pristine by vacuum melting followed by spark plasma sintering. The research results on the electrical transport of these materials revealed that exposure to an inert atmosphere does not deteriorate stability and the properties of the materials remain unchanged. However, prolonged exposure to air leads to a significant degradation of the electrical transport properties. Contrary to thin-film samples, the shift to the double perovskite structure from the perovskite one is limited to a specific surface layer. This change significantly influences the electrical transport of the material while maintaining the essential properties of both perovskite types. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

New derivatives of substituted 2‐(ortho‐hydroxyaryl)cyclopenta[b]pyridines were synthesized by pseudo‐five component reaction of cyclopentanone, two molecules of aromatic aldehyde, Kröhnke salt of ortho‐hydroxy substituted aromatic ketone and ammonium acetate. On the basis of the counter four‐component synthesis, the path of this transformation has been established. The fluorescent properties of the obtained structures are considered in chloroform under neutral, acidic conditions (TFA added) and in the solid state. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A simple and efficient method has been developed for the synthesis 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-arylpyridines annulated by C5-C6 cycles with substituted benzylidene group is achieved by multi-component Kröhnke-type reaction with moderate to good yields in PEG-400. The classical version was considered using cross-conjugated dienones as substrates by counter synthesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
