在激光间接驱动惯性约束聚变(ICF)领域中,获得具有极高空间分辨率(优于5μm)的X射线辐射图像,是研究烧蚀不稳定性、内爆流线等关键物理过程的数据基础。基于掠入射反射式成像原理的Kirkpatrick-Baez(KB)显微成像系统作为一种具有高空间分辨率和集光效率的X射线显微诊断设备,目前已成为国际ICF装置的X射线关键诊断设备。在神光Ⅱ和神光Ⅲ原型装置条件上开展了KB诊断技术及设备的研究,在KB系统的光学设计、光学元件和物镜与系统装调技术等方面取得了许多重要进展,研制了大视场KB、多色KB等高分辨率X射线显微成像系统。这些系统已应用于我国的ICF内爆芯部发光和流线测量、流体不稳定增长测量等实验中,为关键物理量的测量提供了高空间分辨率的清晰图像。     

Adsorption kinetics,isotherms, and thermodynamic studies for the adsorption of Pb<Superscript>2+</Superscript> and Hg<Superscript>2+</Superscript> metal ions from aqueous medium using Ti(IV) iodovanadate cation exchanger

In the current study, Ti(IV) iodovanadate cation exchanger (TIV) was synthesized and applied for the removal of Pb²⁺ and Hg²⁺ metal ions from the aqueous medium. The adsorption studies were performed by the batch techniques and adsorption parameters viz. contact time, pH, initial metal ion concentration, and temperature were also investigated. The optimum adsorption of Pb²⁺ (95 %) and Hg²⁺ (65 %) were observed at pH 6. The pseudo-second order equation represented the adsorption kinetics with high correlation coefficient. Langmuir model showed the best fitting to the isotherm equilibrium data, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 18.8 mg g^?1 for Pb²⁺ and 17.2 mg g^?1 for Hg²⁺. Furthermore, thermodynamic factors, i.e., ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS, indicated that adsorption of Pb²⁺ and Hg²⁺ onto TIV were spontaneous, endothermic, and feasible in the temperature range of 293–323 K.

Enantioselective Palladium‐Catalyzed C?H Functionalization of Indoles Using an Axially Chiral 2,2′‐Bipyridine Ligand

A palladium‐catalyzed enantioselective C H functionalization of indoles was achieved with an axially chiral 2,2′‐bipyridine ligand, thus providing the desired indol‐3‐acetate derivatives with up to 98 % ee. Moreover, the reaction protocol was also effective for asymmetric O H insertion reaction of phenols using α‐aryl‐α‐diazoacetates. This represents the first successful application of bipyridine ligands with axial chirality in palladium‐catalyzed carbene migratory insertion reactions.     

Synthesis and fluorescence properties of a 1,3-disubstituted thiacalix[4]arene crown-5 armed with phenothiazine moieties

A new thiacalix[4]arene phenothiazine derivative(2) based on a thiacalix[4]crown with a 1,3-alternate conformation has been synthesized and characterized. In THF-water mixture, Compound 2 exhibits a strong fluorescence emission, with a large Stokes shift(λex/em = 357 nm/505 nm, Δλ = 148 nm), which helps to avoid interference in excitation and emission. For the metal ions tested, the fluorescence of Compound 2 was quenched only by Fe3+ and Cr3+ ions. Evidence for the hydrolysis reaction promoted by the metal ions is given by X-ray crystallography, mass spectra(MS), infrared(IR) spectra, and fluorescence spectroscopy data.     

Synthesis and Photophysics of BF2‐Rigidified Partially Closed Chain Bromotetrapyrroles: Near Infrared Emitters and Photosensitizers

We report the synthesis, crystallographic, optical, and triplet and singlet oxygen generation properties of a series of BF₂‐rigidified partially closed chain bromotetrapyrroles as near infrared emitters and photosensitizers. These novel dyes were efficiently synthesized from a nucleophilic substitution reaction between pyrroles and the 3,5‐bromo‐substituents on the tetra‐ and hexabromoBODIPYs and absorb in the near‐infrared region (681–754 nm) with high molar extinction coefficients. Their fluorescent emission (708–818 nm) and singlet oxygen generation properties are significantly affected by alkyl substitutions on the two uncoordinated pyrrole units of these dyes and the polarity of solvents. Among them, dyes 4 ca and 4 da show good singlet oxygen generation efficiency and good NIR fluorescence emission (fluorescence quantum yields of 0.14–0.43 in different solvents studied).     

The influence of concentration and supersaturation ratio of CuI·HI on CuI crystal growth by decomplexation method

The fundamental role of solubility and supersaturation of solute for crystal growth from solution has been widely realized. In order to optimize the process of CuI crystal growth by CuI·HI decomplexation in HI acid, the solubility and supersaturation curves of CuI in HI‐H₂O mixed solvent were measured, and then a modified concentration programming scheme was designed, which could grow high quality CuI single crystals of 2.5 mm on edge successfully. In this scheme, the concentration distribution of CuI·HI complex and HI acid in silica gel along their diffused direction were measured with spectrophotometer, and the evolution of CuI·HI complex supersaturation ratio was analysed. It was found that the excess CuI·HI complex concentration would lead to the high supersaturation ratio and the formation CuI dendrites. The condition for regular CuI single crystal growth in silica gel was measured as follow: when the crystal nuclei appears, the CuI·HI complex concentration in HI‐H₂O solvent should be kept in the range of 0.033–0.050 mol/L and its corresponding supersaturation ratio is 1.24–1.45, and then they should be respectively declined to a range of 0.025–0.033 mol/L and 1.14–1.26 at the stage of crystal growth. The results may provide a useful clue for further improvement of the experimental scheme. (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Rapid Eco-Friendly Synthesis and Structure of 3-Hydroxy-3-nitromethyl-1,3-dihydro-indol-2-one

Abstract  

3-Hydroxy-3-nitromethyl-1,3-dihydro-indol-2-one was synthesized from isatin by Henry reaction using an eco-friendly method and characterized by NMR and MS. The crystal structure was determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group, Pbca, with unit cell dimensions a = 10.515 (2) Å, b = 7.3736 (14) Å, and c = 23.261 (4) Å. The two rings are coplanar and the angle between hydroxyl group and nitromethyl group is 109.07(9)°. In the crystal structure, intermolecular N–H···O and O–H···O hydrogen bonds are responsible for the formation of a 3-dimensional network. No intramolecular hydrogen bond exists.
