Abstract: A laminate includes a transparent substrate having a first surface, and a laminated film provided on the first surface of the transparent substrate, wherein the laminated film includes, in a descending order of closeness to the first surface, a first dielectric layer including silicon nitride or zinc oxide or including silicon nitride and zinc oxide, a first layer including titanium oxide and provided on or above the first dielectric layer, a first barrier layer including nickel and chromium and provided on or above the first layer, and a silver-containing metal layer provided directly on the first barrier layer.

Abstract: A laminated body includes a transparent substrate having a laminated film. The laminated film includes a dielectric layer containing silicon nitride, a barrier layer composed of a single film or two or more films, and a metal layer containing silver. The barrier layer has a thickness of from 0.1 nm to 10 nm. Each film of the barrier layer includes a material having a crystal structure of a face-centered cubic structure with a lattice constant of from 3.5 to 4.2, a hexagonal close-packed structure with a lattice constant of from 2.6 to 3.3, a body-centered cubic structure with a lattice constant of from 2.9 to 3.2, or a tetragonal crystal with a lattice constant of from 2.9 to 4.4. The metal layer has a thickness of from 7 nm to 25 nm. An orientation index P of the metal layer falls within a range from 4.5 to 20.

Abstract: A protective film placed on an upper part of a metal film for protecting the metal film placed on a glass substrate. The protective film includes a silica film. The silica film has an extinction coefficient “k” less than or equal to 1×10?4, a refractive index “n” greater than or equal to 1.466 at a wavelength of 632 nm, and a carbon content less than or equal to 3 atomic %.

Abstract: A laminate may include the following layers in order: a transparent substrate, a first dielectric layer, a silver layer, a light-absorbing layer, a first barrier layer, and a second dielectric layer. The first dielectric layer may be in contact with the transparent substrate, and a single silver layer may be present in the laminate between the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer.

Abstract: 3-[2-Cyclopropyl-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-quinolyl]prop-2-enenitrile is prepared by reacting 2-cyclopropyl-4-(4-fluorophenyl)quinoline-3-carbaldehyde with acetonitrile in the presence of a base and then adding a dehydrating to the reaction mixture to conduct dehydration. Under ordinary conditions, novel 3-[2-cyclopropyl-4-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-quinolin-3-yl]-3-hydroxypropionitrile is formed as an intermediate in the above reaction. Incidentally, when the above reaction is conducted in an organic solvent, 3-[2-cyclopropyl-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-quinolyl]-prop-2-enenitrile is directly formed.
