不对称Fe-Fe双金属化合物[Cp*Fe(dppe)(C≡CFc))[PF6]n(n=0，1)的合成、结构及光谱性质的研究(英)

A biased bimetallic Fe-Fe complex Cp^*Fe(dppe)(C≡CFc) (1) was synthesized from FcC≡CH (Fc=C₅H₄FeC₅H₅) and Cp^*Fe(dppe)Cl (Cp^*=C₅Me₅). Its one-electron oxidation species [Cp^*Fe(dppe)(C≡CFc)][PF₆] (1a) was also prepared and the spectroscopic properties of 1a was studied. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of 1 shows that ferrocenylacetylene is bonded at the terminal carbon to the iron center in the Cp^*Fe(dppe) part. Crystallographic data for 1: monoclinic, space group C2/c, with a=4.067 65(14) nm, b=1.260 74(4) nm, c=1.649 89(5) nm, β=104.387(10)°, V=8.195 7(5) nm³, Z=8, D_c=1.354 g·cm^-3, F(000)=3512, μ=0.822 mm^-1. The structure was refined to R₁=0.038 4, wR₂=0.100 0. CCDC: 234893.     

4‐(2‐Hydroxyphenyl)‐2‐phenyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐1,5‐benzodiazepine and the 2‐(2,3‐dimethoxyphenyl)‐, 2‐(3,4‐dimethoxyphenyl)‐ and 2‐(2,5‐dimethoxyphenyl)‐substituted derivatives

The 1,5‐benzodiazepine ring system exhibits a puckered boat‐like conformation for all four title compounds [4‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2‐phenyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐1,5‐benzodiazepine, C₂₁H₁₈N₂O, (I), 2‐(2,3‐dimethoxyphenyl)‐4‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐1,5‐benzodiazepine, C₂₃H₂₂N₂O₃, (II), 2‐(3,4‐dimethoxyphenyl)‐4‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐1,5‐benzodiazepine, C₂₃H₂₂N₂O₃, (III), and 2‐(2,5‐dimethoxyphenyl)‐4‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐1,5‐benzodiazepine, C₂₃H₂₂N₂O₃, (IV)]. The stereochemical correlation of the two C₆ aromatic groups with respect to the benzodiazepine ring system is pseudo‐equatorial–equatorial for compounds (I) (the phenyl group), (II) (the 2,3‐dimethoxyphenyl group) and (III) (the 3,4‐dimethoxyphenyl group), while for (IV) (the 2,5‐dimethoxyphenyl group) the system is pseudo‐axial–equatorial. An intramolecular hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl OH group and a benzodiazepine N atom is present for all four compounds and defines a six‐membered ring, whose geometry is constant across the series. Although the molecular structures are similar, the supramolecular packing is different; compounds (I) and (IV) form chains, while (II) forms dimeric units and (III) displays a layered structure. The packing seems to depend on at least two factors: (i) the nature of the atoms defining the hydrogen bond and (ii) the number of intermolecular interactions of the types O—H...O, N—H...O, N—H...π(arene) or C—H...π(arene).     

The melting temperature of the most common models of water

The melting temperature of ice I(h) for several commonly used models of water (SPC, SPC/E,TIP3P,TIP4P, TIP4P/Ew, and TIP5P) is obtained from computer simulations at p = 1 bar. Since the melting temperature of ice I(h) for the TIP4P model is now known [E. Sanz, C. Vega, J. L. F. Abascal, and L. G. MacDowell, Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 255701 (2004)], it is possible to use the Gibbs-Duhem methodology [D. Kofke, J. Chem. Phys. 98, 4149 (1993)] to evaluate the melting temperature of ice I(h) for other potential models of water. We have found that the melting temperatures of ice I(h) for SPC, SPC/E, TIP3P, TIP4P, TIP4P/Ew, and TIP5P models are T = 190 K, 215 K, 146 K, 232 K, 245 K, and 274 K, respectively. The relative stability of ice I(h) with respect to ice II for these models has also been considered. It turns out that for SPC, SPC/E, TIP3P, and TIP5P the stable phase at the normal melting point is ice II (so that ice I(h) is not a thermodynamically stable phase for these models). For TIP4P and TIP4P/Ew, ice I(h) is the stable solid phase at the standard melting point. The location of the negative charge along the H-O-H bisector appears as a critical factor in the determination of the relative stability between the I(h) and II ice forms. The methodology proposed in this paper can be used to investigate the effect upon a coexistence line due to a change in the potential parameters.     

Methane production from synthesis gas using a mixed culture ofR. rubrum M. barkeri,and M. formicicum

The components of synthesis gas, CO, H₂, and CO₂, may be converted into CH₄ biologically through either acetate or H₂/CO₂ as intermediates. Of these two routes, conversion through H₂/CO₂ is preferred. This paper presents results of mixed-culture studies employing the photosynthetic bacteriumR. rubrum for converting CO to CO₂ and H₂ by the water gas shift reaction and two methanogens,M. formicicum andM. barkeri, for converting CO₂ and H₂ into CH₄. Results are presented for triculture operation in two types of reactors, the packed bubble column and the trickle-bed reactor.     

Derivatives of benzo[5,6]cyclohepta[1,2-b]thiophene. Synthesis of 2,3,7,8-tetrahydro-3-oxothieno[1,2-b]cyclohepta[5,6,7-de]isoquinoline and 1,2,3,7,8,11b-hexahydro-3-oxothieno[1,2-b]cyclohepta[5,6,7-de]isoquinoline

The synthesis of the title compounds was carried out by cyclization via isocyanate of (E)-4,5-dihydro-10H-benzo[5,6]cyclohepta[1,2-b]-thiophene-10-ylideneacetic acid and 4,5-dihydro-10H-benzo[5,6]cyclohepta[1,2-b]-thiophene-10-ylacetic acid respectively, which were obtained by the Wadsworth-Emmons modification of the Wittig reaction of 4,5-dihydro-10H-10-oxobenzo[5,6]cyclohepta[1,2-b]thiophene and triethyl phosphonacetate. The structures of these new compounds are described.     

Crystal engineering: Supramolecular structures by cocrystallization ofMeso-1,2-diphenyl-1,2-ethanediol and bisimines,simple cases of molecular recognition

The crystal structures of molecular complexes betweenmeso- 1,2-diphenyl-1,2-ethanediol and two bisimines (N,N-(dibenzylidene)-ethylenediamine and glyoxylidene-bis(2,4-dimethyl-3-pentyl-amine) are reported at different temperatures. The structure-determining motif of the cocrystalline arrangement is one single O-H . N hydrogen bond resulting in infinite ladderlike polymers. The supramolecular structure is formed by recognition of fitting species: Thed- orl-isomers do not arrange in such structures.¹H NMR experiments show that no prearrangements take place by forming complexes in solution.     

Production of exocellular polysaccharide by azotobacter chroococcwn

Environmental conditions affect the production of extracellular polysaccharide by Azotobacter chroococcum ATCC 4412. Production of exocellular polymer from a variety of carbon sources depended on the air flow rate. A high sucrose concentration in medium (8%) markedly favored expopolysaccharide production, which reached 14 g/L in about 72 h. In cell suspensions incubated in the presence of 8% sucrose in a nitrogen-free medium, biopolymer final concentration of 9 g/L corresponds to 68 g/g biomass. Maximum efficiency of sucrose conversion into exopolysaccharide peaked at 70% for initial disaccharide concentration of 6%. High performance liquid chromatography and gas liquid chromatography of acid hydrolysates of the exopolymer revealed the presence of mannuronosyl, guluronosyl, and acetyl residues, but not neutral sugars. The infrared spectrum corroborated the presence of carboxylate anions and O-acetyl groups in the exopolymer. Though the presence of more than one kind of polysaccharide cannot be ruled out, these data suggest that, under the experimental conditions used in this work, only a type of alginate-like exopolysaccharide is produced by A. chroococcum ATCC 4412.     

The Forwarding Indices of Random Graphs

A routing R of a graph G is a set of n(n ? 1) elementary paths R(u, v) specified for all ordered pairs (u, v) of vertices of G. The vertex-forwarding index ξ(G) of G, is defined by Where ξ(G, R) is the maximum number of paths of the routing R passing through any vertex of G and the minimum is taken over all the routings of G. Let G_p denote the random graph on n vertices with edge probability p and let m = np. It is proved among other things that, under natural growth conditions on the function p = p(n), the ratio Tends to 1 in probability as n tends to infinity.
