Single-crystalline and monodisperse LaF3 triangular nanoplates from a single-source precursor

Single-crystalline and monodisperse LaF3 triangular nanoplates (2.0 x 16.0 nm) in trigonal tysonite structure were synthesized by the thermolysis of a single-source precursor (SSP), La(CF3COO)3, in a hot oleic acid/octadecene solution. The combined use of SSP and coordinating and noncoordinating solvents was demonstrated to have played key roles in the formation of such high-quality nanoplates, which could spontaneously organize into two types of superlattices (edge-to-edge and face-to-face) on a large area. This SSP approach has advantages of one-step, mass production, and easy operation, and may represent a rather general route toward metal fluoride nanocrystals.     

活性炭和石墨混合载体的Pt催化剂（Pt/CG）对乙醇氧化电催化活性的影响

用化学沉积法制备炭载Pt(Pt/C)和以活性炭与石墨作混合载体的Pt(Pt/CG)催化剂。实验结果表明，活性炭与石墨质量比影响Pt/CG催化剂对乙醇氧化的电催化活性。当活性炭与石墨的质量比为15∶1时，制得的Pt/CG催化剂对乙醇氧化的电催化活性最高。     

Pt-SnO2 / C催化剂对乙醇和吸附态CO的电催化氧化

由于乙醇最有可能成为直接甲醇燃料电池（DMFC）的替代燃料，因此近年来。对乙醇的电化学氧化及直接乙醇燃料电池的研究已引起人们的很大兴趣。甲醇毒性较大并且易透过Nafion膜进入阴极造成阴极的混合电位而影响DMFC的阴极性能．这是制约DMFC走向实用化的主要问题之一。因此人们在致力于研究直接甲醇燃料电池的同时．也寻求其它的小分子醇作为甲醇的替代燃料。乙醇是除甲醇以外最简单的醇．它来源广泛．无毒，是可再生和环保型能源．并且也有较高的能量密度和反应活性。但是乙醇在电极上的完全氧化因涉及到C-C键的断裂要比甲醇困难．阳极反应动力学过程也比较缓慢。到目前为止铂基催化剂仍然是乙醇氧化最好的催化剂．虽然也有使用非铂催化剂研究乙醇的电氧化，但催化活性远不如铂基催化剂高。     

Binding Ensembles of p53-MDM2 Peptide Inhibitors by Combining Bayesian Inference and Atomistic Simulations

Designing peptide inhibitors of the p53-MDM2 interaction against cancer is of wide interest. Computational modeling and virtual screening are a well established step in the rational design of small molecules. But they face challenges for binding flexible peptide molecules that fold upon binding. We look at the ability of five different peptides, three of which are intrinsically disordered, to bind to MDM2 with a new Bayesian inference approach (MELD × MD). The method is able to capture the folding upon binding mechanism and differentiate binding preferences between the five peptides. Processing the ensembles with statistical mechanics tools depicts the most likely bound conformations and hints at differences in the binding mechanism. Finally, the study shows the importance of capturing two driving forces to binding in this system: the ability of peptides to adopt bound conformations (ΔGconformation) and the interaction between interface residues (ΔGinteraction).     

Rate-equilibrium relationships in hydride transfer reactions: the role of intrinsic barriers

A literature survey on the kinetics of hydride abstractions from CH-groups by carbocations reveals a general phenomenon: Variation of the hydride acceptor affects the rates of hydride transfer to a considerably greater extent than an equal change of the thermodynamic driving force caused by variation of the hydride donor. The origin of this relationship was investigated by quantum chemical calculations on various levels of ab initio and DFT theory for the transfer of an allylic hydrogen from 1-mono- and 1,1-disubstituted propenes (XYC=CH-CH(3)) to the 3-position of 1-mono- and 1,1-disubstituted allyl cations (XYC=CH-CH(2)(+)). The discussion is based on the results of the MP2/6-31+G(d,p)//RHF/6-31+G(d,p) calculations. Electron-releasing substituents X and Y in the hydride donors increase the exothermicity of the reaction, while electron-releasing substituents in the hydride acceptors decrease exothermicity. In line with Hammond's postulate, increasing exothermicity shifts the transition states on the reaction coordinate toward reactants, as revealed by the geometry parameters and the charge distribution in the activated complexes. Independent of the location of the transition state on the reaction coordinate, a value of 0.72 is found for Hammond-Leffler's alpha = deltaDeltaG/deltaDelta(r)G degrees when the hydride acceptor is varied, while alpha = 0.28 when the hydride donor is varied. The value of alpha thus cannot be related with the position of the transition state. Investigation of the degenerate reactions XYC=CH-CH(3) + XYC=CH-CH(2)(+) indicates that the migrating hydrogen carries a partial positive charge in the transition state and that the intrinsic barriers increase with increasing electron-releasing abilities of X and Y. Substituent variation in the donor thus influences reaction enthalpy and intrinsic barriers in the opposite sense, while substituent variation in the acceptor affects both terms in the same sense, in accord with the experimental findings. Marcus theory is employed to treat these effects quantitatively.     

Studies on solid state reactions of coordination compounds. LXIII. Solid state synthesis of a series of tetranuclear Mo(W)—Ag mixed-metal clusters. Crystal structures of [(n-Bu)4N]3[MoOS3Ag3Br4] and [(n-Bu)4N]3[WS4Ag3Cl4]

A series of tetranuclear Mo(W)-Ag mixed-metal clusters have been synthesized by making use of the solid state reactions of [NH₄]₂[MYS₃](M= Mo, W; Y= O, S), AgX(X= Cl, Br, I) and (n-Bu)₄NX' (X' =Cl, Br), two of which [(n-Bu)₄N]₃[MoOS₃Ag₃Br₄] (1) and [(n-Bu)₄N]₃[WS₄Ag₃Cl₄] ( 2 ) have been structurally characterized by X-ray analysis. The crystal data: 1 , cubic, P4 3m, αequals;12.093(4) Å, Z=1, R =0.076; 2 , cubic, P4 3m, αequals;12.059(2) Å, Z =1, R =0.075. The cluster anion core [Ag₃MS₃X'] of the two compounds can be viewed as a cube in which the four metal atoms and the four non-metal atoms are statistically distributed, respectively. Substitution reaction with PPh₃ ligand is also discussed for this type of tetranuclear clusters.

Solid state synthesis of copper(I) thiotungstate cluster compounds at low heating temperatures. Crystal structures of [(n-Bu)4N]3-[WS4Cu3Cl3Br] and [Et4N]4[WS4Cu4I6]

Summary Reaction of [NH₄]₂[WS₄] with CuX (X = Cl or I) and R₄NX (R = Et or n-Bu) in the solid state gave two new bimetallic compounds with W:Cu compositions from 1:3 to 1:4. Compound (1), [(n-Bu)₄N]₃[WS₄Cu₃Cl₃Br], crystallizes in the hexagonal space group R3c with a = 17.051(5), c = 38.372(5) Å, V = 9661.8 ų, Z = 6. The cluster anion of (1) comprises a cubane-like cluster core [WS₃Cu₃Br] of C₃ symmetry with a Cl atom attached to each of the three Cu atoms and one terminal sulphido ligand attached to the W atom. Compound (2), [Et₄N]₄[WS₄Cu₄I₆], crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/m with a = 29.702(6), b = 12.7887(5), c = 15.327(3)Å, = 99.69(2), V = 5738.1 ų, Z = 4. In the cluster anion of (2), four edges of the WS₄ core are coordinated by four Cu atoms, giving a WS₄Cu₄ aggregate of approximate C_2V symmetry.     

烟酸对酸性硫酸盐体系铜电沉积的影响

对溶液A: 0.8 mol•L－1硫酸铜,0.6 mol•L－1硫酸,5.0×10－5 mol•L－1氯离子,1.0×10－4 mol•L－1聚乙二醇的溶液,溶液B:在溶液A中加入2.0×10－2 mol•L－1烟酸,pH为0.5,运用循环伏安和计时安培法研究玻碳电极上铜的电沉积行为.结果表明,铜的电沉积过程经历了晶核形成过程,其电结晶按瞬时成核和三维生长方式进行.烟酸的加入对铜的电沉积具有阻化作用,但不改变铜的电结晶机理.沉积层的X射线衍射表明Cu为面心立方结构,在烟酸存在下沉积层出现(220)高择优取向,这可能是烟酸在Cu(220)晶面上发生强烈吸附作用的结果.
