As an important organic intermediate, cis-5-norbornene-exo-2,3-dicarboxylic anhydride (exo-NDA), is widely used in the synthesis of medicine and pesticide. For instance, cis-5-norbornene-exo-2,3-diimide synthesized by the one-step conversion of exo-NDA is the essential intermediate for the synthesis of a series of antipsychotics including lurasidone hydrochloride [1], [2], [3], [4], tandospirone citrate [5], [6] etc.

Abstract The hexatic phase is an intermediate stage in the melting process of a 2D crystal due to topological defects. Recently, this exotic phase was experimentally identified in the vortex lattice of 2D weakly disordered superconducting MoGe by scanning tunneling microscopic measurements. Here, we study this vortex state by the Nernst effect, which is an effective and sensitive tool to detect vortex motion, especially in the superconducting fluctuation regime.
