修饰吡啶衍生物的染料敏化光阳极水氧化性能的研究

染料敏化光电化学电池(DSPECs)是构建人工光合作用体系的潜在方式,其优势在于可通过优化染料结构来拓展可见光吸收范围,从根本上提高太阳能利用效率.染料敏化光阳极在受激发产生电荷分离之后,激发电子注入TiO₂半导体导带,由于其导带位置比传统的可见光半导体,如BiVO4和Fe3O4等相比较负,因此理论上可以在较小的偏压下取得较大的光电转换效率,也更有利于和光阴极相耦合实现无偏压分解水.电荷传输动力学研究表明,注入到TiO₂导带的电子向氧化态光敏剂和催化剂的回传是造成体系能量损失的主要原因,集中体现在光电流密度和效率的降低.目前,已经报道了多种手段来减少DSPECs光阳极表面的电子回传,包括使用带有长烷基链的锚定基团对水氧化催化剂进行修饰,在半导体表面引入电子中介体以及使用核-壳结构的基底等.其中,SnO2/TiO₂基底被广泛应用在染料敏化光阳极中,这种基底可以提高光生电子的注入效率,同时两种金属氧化物之间的异质结有效抑制了电子回传,从而提高了DSPECs的光电活性.然而,核-壳结构基底需要使用原子层沉积技术来制备,所以操作相对复杂.本文基于Ru-bda(bda=2,2'-联吡啶-6,6'-二羧酸)结构的分子水氧化催化剂和带有磷酸修饰基团的三联吡啶钌通过共吸附的方式制备染料敏化光阳极,在不使用核-壳结构基底的情况下,利用吡啶衍生物对TiO₂电极表面的修饰来减少电子回传.本文利用一系列吡啶衍生物作修饰负载在TiO₂光阳极上(TiO₂|RuP,1;RuP=Ru(4,4'-(PO3H2)2-2,2'-联吡啶)(2,2'-联吡啶)2;1=Ru(bda)(L)2,bda=2,2'-联吡啶-6,6'-二羧酸,L=(10-吡啶-4-基氧基)癸基)膦酸.在100 mW/cm2的白光照射下(λ>400 nm),TiO₂|RuP,1,P1(P1=4-羟基吡啶)光阳极在0.4 V(vs.NHE)的外加偏压下获得了1 mA/cm2的光电流密度,其光电流比未修饰吡啶的光阳极增加了42%.同时,其入射光子-电流转化效率在470 nm波长的单色光光照下达到最大,为13.6%.经过吡啶衍生物所修饰的光阳极光电性能和文献中利用核-壳结构基底所制备的类似光阳极性能相当,且光电流密度随吡啶对位取代基供电性能的增强而增大.瞬态吸收光谱和电化学阻抗谱测试表明,吡啶吸附在光阳极上能有效地抑制界面上的电子回传,延长电荷分离寿命,是光电流增加的根本原因,这也表明有机小分子修饰是提高染料敏化光阳极性能的简单、有效的策略.

通过扫描光电化学显微镜研究超分子光敏剂-二氧化钛薄膜系统的光诱导电子转移（英文）

在基于TiO₂的光阳极上枝接电荷转移通道仍然是太阳能到化学转换技术的一个迫切瓶颈。尽管进行了大量的尝试,但TiO₂作为有前途的光阳极材料仍然受到电荷传输动力学迟缓的影响。因此,一种组装策略涉及将金属卟啉基光敏剂分子(MP)轴向配位嫁接到表面改性的TiO₂纳米棒(TiO₂NRs)光阳极上,形成复合MP/TiO₂ NRs光电极。正如预期的那样,与单独的TiO₂NR和MPA/TiO₂NRs光电极相比,所得到的独特的MPB/TiO₂ NRs光电极具有明显提高的光电流密度。采用扫描光电化学显微镜(SPECM)和强度调制光电流光谱(IMPS)系统地评估了MP/TiO₂ NRs光电极的连续光激发电子转移(PET)动力学信息。通过数据拟合发现,在光照条件下,MPB/TiO₂ NRs的光电子转移速率(k_eff)常数比纯TiO₂ NRs高2.6倍...

α-Amino acid derived enaminones and their application in the synthesis of N-protected methyl 5-substituted-4-hydroxypyrrole-3-carboxylates and other heterocycles

A new and simple synthesis of novel N-protected methyl 5-substituted-4-hydroxypyrrole-3-carboxylates, which exist in equilibrium with their 4-oxo tautomers, has been developed in two steps starting from N-protected α-amino acids. The key intermediates are enaminones, which can also be isolated, characterized, and used for the construction of other functionalized heterocycles, before they spontaneously decompose to pyrrole products. 4-Hydroxypyrroles are prone to partial aerial oxidation but can be efficiently alkylated or reduced to stable polysubstituted pyrrolidine derivatives.     

Specific intramolecular aromatic CH insertion of diazosulfonamides

The chemoselectivity in the intramolecular CH insertion of various diazosulfonamides has been experimentally studied. The results reveal that the aliphatic 1,4-, 1,5-, or 1,6-C(sp³)?H insertions of diazosulfonamides are not accessible, while the aromatic 1,5-C(sp²)?H insertion can be realized specifically by adjusting the diazo-adjacent group. In addition, the general chemoselectivities in the intramolecular CH insertions of diazosulfonyl compounds are summarized. Generally, diazosulfones undergo both aromatic 1,5-C(sp²)?H and aliphatic 1,5- and 1,6-C(sp³)?H insertions, while diazosulfonates undergo aliphatic 1,5- and 1,6-C(sp³)?H insertions. However, diazosulfonamides only undergo aromatic 1,5-C(sp²)?H insertion.

A general synthesis of previously unknown semicarbazone-based α-amidoalkylating reagents, 4-(tosylmethyl)semicarbazones, has been developed. The synthesis involved three-component condensation of semicarbazones of aliphatic or aromatic aldehydes with the same or other aldehydes and p-toluenesulfinic acid. The scope and limitations of this reaction were investigated. The compounds obtained were demonstrated to be an efficient α-(4-semicarbazono)alkylating agents.

Among the prepared compounds tested in vitro for antibacterial and antifungal activity, three nitrofuryl-containing semicarbazones exhibited high biological activities with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 8–32 μg/mL.
