基于环蕃类分子的铁氰化钾电化学存储和释放

通过利用合成的环蕃类化合物1与单壁碳纳米管(SWNTs)间的π-π共轭相互作用,将化合物1固定在SWNTs的表面,制备了1-SWNT修饰电极.利用化合物1氧化态和还原态与铁氰化钾分子之间不同强度的主客体相互作用,实现了铁氰化钾分子在1-SWNT修饰电极表面的电化学可控吸附和解吸.循环伏安和XPS实验结果表明,在本研究采用的实验条件下,铁氰化钾分子在电极表面20s内即可达到吸附平衡;当电极在0.70V下极化1000s后,大多数吸附的铁氰化钾可从电极表面解吸.基于此,制备了铁氰化钾的可控存储和释放的电化学器件,该器件不但可以重复进行铁氰化钾分子的存储和释放,而且多次重复操作表现出较好的稳定性和重现性.本研究在发展具有特殊用途的电化学纳米器件,例如分子搬运器、电化学开关等研究中具有重要意义.

高温煅烧Mo改性的Fe／MgO催化剂用于制备管径分布均一的单壁碳纳米管

研究了在以甲烷化学气相沉积法制备单壁碳纳米管的过程中高温煅烧预处理(900℃煅烧10h)对Mo改性Fe/MgO催化剂的作用.发现这种预处理有利于Fe在催化剂中的稳定和分散,从而制备出管径均一的单壁碳纳米管.采用能谱元素分析、高分辨透射电镜、X射线衍射、比表面积测量、拉曼光谱和热重分析对样品进行了表征.结果表明,在碳纳米管生长的过程中,铁元素在催化剂表面富集,单壁碳纳米管生长于富集铁的纳米颗粒上,并存在碳管直径与铁颗粒尺寸的依赖关系.Mo存在时可煅烧形成FeMoO4复合氧化物,后者比MgFe2O4相更加稳定.Mo/Fe比例对提高单壁碳纳米管的生长密度、纯度与管径均一性等均有明显影响.上述研究对进一步精确控制制备单壁碳纳米管有重要意义.     

FeCo/MgO催化生长体相单壁碳纳米管的直径调控

单壁碳纳米管的直径可控生长是碳纳米管生长与应用领域的重要问题。直径在0.9–1.2 nm范围内的碳纳米管非常适合应用于近红外荧光生物成像领域和量子器件单光子光源之中。本文使用FeCo/MgO催化剂生长出了直径在这一范围内的体相单壁碳纳米管,并研究了催化剂制备和CVD生长条件对碳纳米管直径的影响。催化剂前驱体的制备是获得小尺寸催化剂颗粒的关键步骤。在浸渍过程中,使用难水解的金属硫酸盐作为前驱体、降低浸渍pH以及加入络合剂分子都会抑制溶液干燥过程中金属盐的水解,从而控制催化剂的尺寸,使其适合于生长出直径可控的单壁碳纳米管。在CVD生长过程中,使用乙醇作为碳源、使用较低的碳氢比例也有利于小直径碳纳米管的生长。     

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.

Iodine-mediated oxidative Pictet-Spengler reaction using terminal alkyne as the 2-oxoaldehyde surrogate for the synthesis of 1-aroyl-β-carbolines and fused-nitrogen heterocycles

An efficient iodine-mediated oxidative Pictet-Spengler reaction in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) using terminal alkynes as the 2-oxoaldehyde surrogate for the synthesis of aryl (9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-1-yl)methanones is described. The scope of the protocol includes the total synthesis of Fascaplysin, Eudistomins Y₁ and Y₂. The methodology is extended for preparing pyrrolo[1,2-a]-quinoxaline and indolo[1,5-a]quinoxaline derivatives. The utility of 1-aroyl-β-carbolines was demonstrated by performing palladium-catalyzed β-carboline directed ortho-C(sp2)-H functionalization of the phenyl ring with thiomethyl (SMe) group using DMSO as source and for accessing 4-aryl-canthin-6-ones.     

Facile synthesis of bicyclic 1-arylpyrazol-5-ones

In this Letter, we described a facile method for constructing fused bicyclic 1-arylpyrazol-5-one ring system. We employed various methylene-containing carboxylic acids as the substrates and proved that the pyrazolone ring closure requires activated methylene group in intermediate II. Accordingly, a series of structurally diversified, fused bicyclic 1-arylpyrazol-5-ones was prepared in moderate to high yields using the requisite substrates.

Due to the presence of fluorescence, we report their prime application metal sensor as off/on switching in ferric ions.

Introduction of electron releasing alkyl groups in substrates 4a–b was found to be instrumental for the success of the reaction.     

Understanding the Diels-Alder reactivity of 1,2-azaborine analogues

The Diels-Alder reactivity of 1,2-heteroborines (H₄C₄B(H)X, X?=?NH, PH, AsH; O, S, Se) has been computationally explored by means of Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. The influence of the HB?=?X fragment on the reactivity of the system has been quantitatively analyzed in detail by means of the so-called Activation Strain Model (ASM) of reactivity. It is found that the interaction between these species and the dienophile is significantly stronger than that computed for their all-carbon isoelectronic counterpart, benzene. In addition, the strain energy plays a key role in the observed reactivity trends. The role of the aromaticity strength of these heteroarenes on the reactivity is also assessed.
