[Ag14]异构引发的纺锤形Ag58团簇的形成

原子精确的纳米硫银团簇由于其迷人的结构特征和潜在的应用价值而受到研究者的广泛关注.本工作通过溶液自组装的方法合成了两个新型核壳结构的硫银团簇[Ag₅₆S₁₂（^tBuS）₂₀（CF₃CO₂）₁₂]·6CH₃CN·8H₂O（Ag₅₆）和[Ag₅₈S₁₂-（^tBuS）₂₀（CF₃CO₂）₁₄（CH₃CN）₆]·6CH₃CN（Ag₅₈）.单晶XRD结构表征表明两个硫银团簇的内部均包裹着Ag₁₄单元：Ag₅₆中Ag₁₄内核单元为常见菱形十二面体结构,而Ag₅₈中Ag₁₄内核单元为罕见的纺锤形结构.Ag₁₄内核单元的异构引起了两个硫银团簇外壳结构和形貌的变化,相比于Ag₅₆中12个Ag₆环形结构单元相互连接形成的球状外壳,Ag₅₈的外层银原子按照“Ag₄-Ag₈-Ag₁₀-Ag₁₀-Ag₈-Ag₄”层状分布的方式形成了纺锤形外壳.紫外-可见吸收光谱和荧光光谱研究表明,硫银团簇Ag₅₆和Ag₅₈结构的差异对其能级以及荧光性质都会产生影响.本工作中两个新型硫银团簇的成功分离丰富了硫银团簇的研究体系和结构类型,并为进一步探究硫银团簇的形成过程和性质提供了新的思路.

PANI-SnP复合膜电极在镍镉废水中电控离子交换性能

采用滴涂法在铂基底制备了电活性聚苯胺-磷酸锡(PANI-SnP)复合膜电极,考察了该电极在Ni²⁺、Cd²⁺溶液的电控离子交换性能. 用傅立叶变换红外光谱和扫描电镜分析观察复合膜的组成及表面形貌;在0.1 mol·L^-1 Ni(NO₃)₂、Cd(NO₃)₂溶液,通过循环伏安法比较了PANI膜、SnP膜及PANI-SnP复合膜电极的电化学性能,并结合电化学石英晶体微天平技术重点考察了PANI-SnP复合膜的离子交换机制;同时,通过循环伏安法调控复合膜电极的氧化还原电位,结合X射线能谱和X射线光电子能谱分别测定了其氧化和还原状态的元素组成. 结果表明,PANI-SnP复合膜电极在Ni²⁺、Cd²⁺溶液均有良好的氧化还原电活性和可逆离子交换性能,其Cd²⁺离子选择性优于Ni²⁺离子,通过电控离子交换可使Cd²⁺离子从镍镉废水高效分离.     

高催化活性M-BHT(M=Co， Cu)电催化还原CO2为CH4的密度泛函理论研究

具有独特电子结构和丰富催化位点的二维金属有机框架材料是具有高活性的CO₂还原反应的电催化剂. 本文基于密度泛函理论(DFT)计算, 发现单层Co-BHT(BHT=benzenehexathiol, 苯六硫醇)将CO₂还原为CH₄时具有很高的催化活性. 吉布斯自由能变化计算结果表明, 在Co-BHT上将CO₂还原成CH₄的最佳反应路径为CO₂→^*COOH→^*CO→^*CHO→^*CHOH→^*CH→^*CH₂→^*CH₃→CH₄; 整个反应的速度控制步骤为^*CO→^*CHO; 速度控制步骤的吉布斯自由能变化(ΔG_L)为0.66 eV, 比在二维Cu-C₃N₄(ΔG_L=0.75 eV)和传统的Cu(211) 表面(ΔG_L=0.74 eV) 将CO₂还原为CH₄的吉布斯自由能变化都小. 而在单层Cu-BHT表面的反应路径和速度控制步骤 (CO₂→^*COOH)与Co-BHT均不同, 且ΔG_L为0.76 eV. 与Cu-BHT相比, Co-BHT将CO₂还原为CH₄的ΔG_L更低, 这可能归因于Co-BHT的d能带中心高于Cu-BHT, 导致Co-BHT与中间体的相互作用更强.

具有不同电荷和手性的Co(Ⅲ)配合物跨人红细胞膜的动力学研究

研究了4种不同电荷的Co(Ⅲ)金属配合物跨人红细胞膜的动力学,并测定了它们跨人红细胞膜的一级反应动力学速率常数,发现[Co(C₂O₄)₃]^3-的跨膜速率明显高于[Co(en)₃]³⁺,[Co(en)₂(C₂O₄)]⁺和[Co(en)(C₂O₄)₂]^-,后3种配合物的跨膜速率常数随正电荷的减少略有增加,跨膜机制为简单扩散.[Co(C₂O₄)₃]^3-的跨膜速率受阴离子通道抑制剂DIDS明显抑制,抑制率为51.95%,推测其跨膜机制为部分经阴离子通道协同简单扩散过膜.人红细胞摄入L-[Co(C₂O₄)₃]^3-的速率明显大于D-[Co(C₂O₄)₃]^3-,显示了一定的手性选择性.     

探索利用无机结合肽PT2 (DRTSTWR)制备纳米铂晶体

实验中首先利用固定化于PET(聚对苯二甲酸己二醇酯)膜上无机结合肽PT2 (DRTSTWR)制备出铂微晶体. 然后用游离的PT2与PtCl₄在室温和pH中性环境中反应24 h, 所得产物用TEM观察, 其多数为1～2 nm呈方形和球形晶体, 经EDX分析显示晶体的元素组成中Pt远大于Cl的含量, 显然晶体不可能是PtCl₄或PtCl₂; 样品的XPS谱图中出现了结合能值为71.0 eV峰(Pt_4f标准值71.1 eV), 确认晶体为铂纳晶, 由此推断无机结合肽PT2在无细胞状态下能够作为模板仿生合成铂晶体. 继而在反应体系中加入不同浓度的壳聚糖和聚丙烯酸钠, 观察到纳米粒子的粒径和形貌随表面活性剂的加入发生了改变. 加入5倍的壳聚糖制备的铂晶体的直径在12～15.5 nm之间, 晶体排布似乎有成线状的趋势. 加入5倍的聚丙烯酸钠制备的铂晶体, 形貌更加规整, 以球形颗粒为主, 粒子直径在6～8 nm之间.     

Three New Silver Alkylenediphosphonates with Pillar-like Open-frameworks

1 INTRODUCTION From 1970s many research interests have focused on metal organophosphonates due to their structural diversities, including layers[1, 2], zeolite-like[3], inor- ganic channel with organic shell[4], cage-like[5], homo- chiral framework[6] and ring-[7] or sphere-like[8] clus- ters, as well as their potential or practical applica- tions as Langmuir-Blodgett Film (LB)[9], meso/mi- cro-porous materials[10, 11], ion-exchangers [12], small molecular sensors[13], adsorptions/desorp…     

Ag4L2 nanocage as a building unit toward the construction of silver metal strings

Self-assembly of AgNO 3 with the semirigid tetratopic ligands 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(benzoimidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene (TBim) and 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(5,6-dimethylbenzimidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene (TDMBim) afforded compounds [Ag 4(mu 4-TBim) 2(mu 2-eta (2)-NO 3) 2](NO 3) 2. (1)/ 2CH 2Cl 2.2CH 3OH ( 1mu (1)/ 2CH 2Cl 2.2CH 3OH) and [(NO 3 (-)) subset{Ag 4(mu 4-TDMBim) 2}][Ag(NO 3) 2](NO 3) 2.CH 2Cl 2.CH 3OH.4H 2O ( 2.CH 2Cl 2.CH 3OH.4H 2O), respectively. The structures of 1 and 2 were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Both compounds adopt a M 4L 2-type tetragonal metalloprismatic cage structure, [Ag 4(mu 4-L) 2] (4+), with strong intramolecular silver-silver contacts. Compound 1 is a discrete species, while compound 2 is a novel infinite chainlike supramolecular array involving silver metal strings assembled from a [Ag 4(mu 4-L) 2] (4+) nanocage and silver linkages. Thermogravimetric analyses of 1. (1)/ 2CH 2Cl 2.2CH 3OH and 2.CH 3OH.4H 2O indicate that the Ag 4L 2-cage structures of 1 and 2 both are thermally stable up to 330 degrees C. Results from an in situ (1)H NMR study of AgNO 3 and TDMBim in different molar ratios unambiguously revealed the successive self-organization process, in which self-organization of the molecular cage takes place initially followed by crystallization of the corresponding supramolecular arrays with silver metal strings.     

Argentophilicity and solvent-induced structural diversity in double salts of silver acetylide with silver perfluoroalkyl carboxylates

A series of novel double salts of silver(I) were isolated by dissolving Ag(2)C(2) in a concentrated aqueous solution of R(F)CO(2)Ag (R(F) = CF(3), C(2)F(5)) and AgBF(4). Different ancillary solvento ligands such as H(2)O, CH(3)CN, and C(2)H(5)CN were found to affect the crystallization process that led to the assembly of various silver(I) cages with embedded C(2)(2-) ions. 2Ag(2)C(2) x 12CF(3)CO(2)Ag x 5H(2)O (1) consists of two independent C(2)@Ag(7) cages, each having the shape of a basket with a square base. Ag(2)C(2) x 6CF(3)CO(2)Ag x 3CH(3)CN (2) contains a zigzag chain of edge-sharing triangulated dodecahedra, and 4Ag(2)C(2) x 23CF(3)CO(2)Ag x 7C(2)H(5)CN x 2.5H(2)O (3) features an unusual double-walled silver column constructed from the fusion of four different kinds of irregular polyhedra. Ag(2)C(2) x 10C(2)F(5)CO(2)Ag x 9.5H(2)O (4), Ag(2)C(2) x 9C(2)F(5)CO(2)Ag x 3CH(3)CN x H(2)O (5), and Ag(2)C(2) x 6C(2)F(5)CO(2)Ag x 2C(2)H(5)CN (6) all contain an edge-sharing double cage with each single cage in the shape of a square antiprism, a capped square antiprism, and a triangulated dodecahedron, respectively.     

Highly luminescent gold(I)-silver(I) and gold(I)-copper(I) chalcogenide clusters

The reactions of [AuClL] with Ag(2)O, where L represents the heterofunctional ligands PPh(2)py and PPh(2)CH(2)CH(2)py, give the trigoldoxonium complexes [O(AuL)(3)]BF(4). Treatment of these compounds with thio- or selenourea affords the triply bridging sulfide or selenide derivatives [E(AuL)(3)]BF(4) (E=S, Se). These trinuclear species react with Ag(OTf) or [Cu(NCMe)(4)]PF(6) to give different results, depending on the phosphine and the metal. The reactions of [E(AuPPh(2)py)(3)]BF(4) with silver or copper salts give [E(AuPPh(2)py)(3)M](2+) (E=O, S, Se; M=Ag, Cu) clusters that are highly luminescent. The silver complexes consist of tetrahedral Au(3)Ag clusters further bonded to another unit through aurophilic interactions, whereas in the copper species two coordination isomers with different metallophilic interactions were found. The first is analogous to the silver complexes and in the second, two [S(AuPPh(2)py)(3)](+) units bridge two copper atoms through one pyridine group in each unit. The reactions of [E(AuPPh(2)CH(2)CH(2)py)(3)]BF(4) with silver and copper salts give complexes with [E(AuPPh(2)CH(2)CH(2)py)(3)M](2+) stoichiometry (E=O, S, Se; M=Ag, Cu) with the metal bonded to the three nitrogen atoms in the absence of AuM interactions. The luminescence of these clusters has been studied by varying the chalcogenide, the heterofunctional ligand, and the metal.     

Silver-109 NMR spectroscopy of inorganic solids

In this study the (109)Ag NMR spectra of the following solid inorganic silver-containing compounds were investigated: AgNO(3), AgNO(2), Ag(2)SO(4), Ag(2)SO(3), AgCO(3), Ag(3)PO(4), AgCl, AgBr, AgI, AgSO(3)CH(3), silver p-toluenesulfonate, NaAg(CN)(2), KAg(CN)(2), K(3)Ag(CN)(4), Me(4)NAgCl(2), silver diethylthiocarbamate, silver lactate, silver acetate, silver citrate, and bis[(N,N(1)-di-tert-butylformamidinato)silver(I)]. The magic angle spinning (MAS) spectra of all compounds were obtained. In some cases, when protons were available, the (1)H to (109)Ag cross-polarization (CP) technique was used to enhance the signal and shorten the experimental relaxation delay. It was possible to obtain slow MAS (or CP/MAS) or nonspinning spectra for 10 samples, allowing the determination of the principal components of the (109)Ag chemical shift (CS) tensors. The isotropic chemical shifts and the CS tensors are discussed in light of the available crystal structures. The need for an accepted standard for referencing (109)Ag chemical shifts and the use of AgSO(3)CH(3) as a CP setup sample are also discussed.     

Gold and silver complexes with the ferrocenyl phosphine FcCH2PPh2

Linear gold(I) and silver(I) complexes with the ferrocenyl phosphine FcCH2PPh2 [Fc = (eta5-C5H5)Fe(eta5-C5H4)] of the types [AuR(PPh2CH2Fc)], [M(PPh3)(PPh2CH2Fc)]OTf, and [M(PPh2CH2Fc)2]OTf (M = Au, Ag) have been obtained. Three-coordinate gold(I) and silver(I) derivatives of the types [AuCl(PPh2CH2Fc)2] and [M(PPh2CH2Fc)3]X (M = Au, X = ClO4; M = Ag, X = OTf) have been obtained from the corresponding gold and silver precursors in the appropriate molar ratio, although some of them are involved in equilibria in solution. The crystal structures of [AuR(PPh2CH2Fc)] (R = Cl, C6F5), [AuL(PPh2CH2Fc)]OTf (L = PPh3, FcCH2PPh2), [Au(C6F5)3(PPh2CH2Fc)], and [Ag(PPh2CH2Fc)3]OTf have been determined by X-ray diffraction studies.     

Tris(phosphino)borato silver(I) complexes as precursors for metallic silver aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition

A series of light- and air-stable tris(phosphino)borato silver(I) complexes has been synthesized, structurally and spectroscopically characterized, and implemented in the growth of low resistivity metallic silver thin films by aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition (AACVD). Of the four complexes in the series, [RB(CH2PR'2) 3]AgPEt3 (R = Ph (1, 3), (n)Bu (2, 4); R' = Ph (1, 2), (i)Pr (3, 4), complexes 1 and 2 have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 2 represents a significant improvement over previously available nonfluorinated Ag precursors, owing to ease of handling and efficient film deposition characteristics. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) shows that the thermolytic properties of these complexes can be significantly modified by altering the ligand structure. Polycrystalline cubic-phase Ag thin films were grown on glass, MgO(100), and 52100 steel substrates. Ag films of thicknesses 3 microm, grown at rates of 14-18 nm/min, exhibit low levels of extraneous element contamination by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicate that film growth proceeds primarily via an island growth (Volmer-Weber) mechanism.     

Silver(I) complexes with oxazoline-containing tripodal ligands: structure variation via counter anions and reaction conditions

Seven new silver(I) complexes of the formula [Ag2(L)2(CF3SO3)2] (1), [Ag2(L)2(CH3SO3)2] (2) [Ag2(L)2](BF4)2 (3), [Ag3(L)2(NO3)2]NO3.5H2O (4), [Ag2(L)(NO3)2].CH3OH (5), [Ag2(L)2](ClO4)2 (6) and [Ag3(L)2(CH3CN)3](ClO4)3 (7) have been synthesized by reactions of 1,3,5-tris(2-oxazolinyl)benzene (L) with varied silver(I) salts under different conditions. The influences of counter anions and reaction conditions on the structure of the complexes are discussed. Three complexes , 1, 2 and 3 with two kinds of different 1D chain structures were obtained under the same synthetic conditions by using different silver(I) salts, and the ligand L was found to adopt bis-monodentate (1 and 2) and tris-monodentate (3) coordination modes respectively. On the other hand, by using the same silver(I) nitrate or silver(I) perchlorate but different reaction solvents, 4 and 5 or 6 and 7 were isolated respectively. Complexes 4and 5 have different 1D chain structures, and 6 is isostructural with . However, 7 is a tri-nuclear, propeller-shaped M3L2 supramolecular capsule in which L adopts a cis,cis,cis-conformation, while the ligand L in 3-6 has cis,trans,trans-conformation. The results revealed that the nature of the counter anions, such as their size, coordination ability and coordination mode, and the reaction conditions all have great impact on the structure of the complexes. The complexes were also characterized by electrospray mass spectrometry. Furthermore, complex 7 exhibited modest second-harmonic-generation (SHG) efficiency.     

Silver(I) pyrophosphonates: structural, photoluminescent and thermal expansion studies

The solvothermal reactions of silver(I) salts with mono-organophosphonic acids, i.e. 3-thienylphosphonic acid (3-TPA), phenylphosphonic acid (PPA), α-naphthylphosphonic acid (α-NPA) and cyclohexylphosphonic acid (CPA), yield four new silver(I) pyrophosphonates, namely: [Ag(2)(ptp)] (1), [Ag(2)(ppp)] (2), [Ag(3)(CH(3)CN)(pnp)(pnpH)] (3), and [Ag(3)(pcp)(pcpH)] (4) [ptp(2-) = pyro-3-thienylphosphonate, ppp(2-) = pyrophenylphosphonate, pnp(2-) = pyro-α-naphthylphosphonate, pcp(2-) = pyrocyclohexylphosphoante]. In all cases, the pyrophosphonate ligands are generated in situ from their relative mono-organophosphonic acids, mediated by silver(I) ions. Single crystal structural determinations reveal that compounds 1 and 2 display two-dimensional layer architectures, while 3 and 4 show one-dimensional chain structures. Structure 1 can be best described as a layer made up of Ag(4)O(P)(6) clusters linked by O-P-O units and AgAg contacts, with the organic groups grafted on the two sides of the inorganic layer. A similar layer structure is found in 2 except that the AgAg interactions are absent. Compound 3 shows a chain structure where the silver ions are bridged by the phosphonate oxygen atoms forming an infinite Ag-O(P) chain which is decorated by the pyrophosphonate ligand and CH(3)CN. Compound 4 has another type of chain structure made up of Ag-O(P) with extensive Ag···Ag argentophilic interactions. Solid state photoluminescent properties and thermal expansion behaviors are also investigated.
