Theory of third-harmonic generation using double half-Gaussian hollow beams and self-phase-matching

We first (to best of out knowledge) use the slowly varying envelope approximation (SVEA) to obtain the equation of third harmonic (TH) generated by focusing the double half-Gaussian hollow beams into an atomic medium. The two-dimension intensity distribution is achieved by simulating, and it is similar to that generated by the 0th order Bessel beams. In addition to the similarities between the experimental setups, we demonstrate the accuracy of the equation. Compared with that generated by the Bessel beams, the pattern of the TH intensity generated by the double half-Gaussian hollow beams has salient features.

Time‐resolved spectroscopy study of donor–acceptor‐type copolymers in a monodisperse system: The effect of ratio between the acceptor and the donor

The photoexcitation processes of two donor–acceptor‐type copolymers PCFBT with different ratios between the donor and the acceptor ( PCFBT_0.5 and PCFBT_0.1 ) in the solution system are systematically studied. If the number of the donor is equal to that of the acceptor in one repeat unit (such as PCFBT_0.5 ), intrachain charge transfer (ICT) can occur and participate in the relaxation of the excited state after photoexcitation. When the number of donors is much larger than that of acceptors (such as PCFBT_0.1 ) in one repeat unit, the ICT character can disappear, and the localized exciton decay process is dominant in the relaxation of the copolymer, which also involves an excitation intensity‐independent vibrational thermal relaxation process at the initial time. The results further the understanding of the basic structure‐property relationship. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part B: Polym. Phys. 2013 , 51, 992–996     

Study on valence adjustment of Pu in 1?bp solution of CIAE-APOR process with N2O4

Oxidation of Pu(III) in 1 bp solution to Pu(IV) was studied using the salt-free oxidant N₂O₄. It was proved that the reductants N,N-dimethylhydroxylamine (DMHAN) and monomethyl-hydrazine (MMH) present in 1 bp solution of CIAE-APOR process can be oxidized and removed from the solutions also by N₂O₄ before the oxidation of Pu(III). The effects of the acidity, the temperature and the amount of N₂O₄ added on the oxidation of DMHAN and MMH were studied.     

A New Dimeric Alkaloid from the Leaf of Psychotria calocarpa

Psychotriasine was isolated from the leaves of Psychotria calocarpa (Rubiaceae). The structure was established by spectroscopic methods including 2D‐NMR analysis. To the best of our knowledge, psychotriasine is the first example of a dimeric tryptamine‐related alkaloid that contains a free N^α‐methyltryptamine unit in the molecule.     

New Sesquiterpenes from the Flowers of Chrysanthemum indicum L.

Two new guaianolides (=guaianolactones), chrysanthguaianolactone A and B ( 1 and 2 , resp.), and one new eudesmane sesquiterpene, chrysanthemdiol A ( 6 ), together with seven known sesquiterpenes were isolated from the flowers of Chrysanthemum indicum L. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic evidence.     

Neolignans and Caffeoyl Derivatives from Selaginella moellendorffii

Ten new phenolic compounds including the six neolignans 1 – 3 and 6 – 8 and four caffeoyl derivatives, i.e., myo‐inositol 1‐caffeate ( 9 ), myo‐inositol 6‐caffeate ( 10 ), myo‐inositol 5‐caffeate ( 11 ), and paucine 3′‐β‐D ‐glucopyranoside ( 12 ) were isolated from the whole plants of Selaginella moellendorffii (caffeic acid=3‐(3,4‐dihydroxyphenyl)prop‐2‐enoic acid). Their structures were established by spectroscopic and chemical methods.     

Two Novel Sesquiterpenoids from the Roots of Ferula ferulaeoides (Steud.) Korov.

Two new sesquiterpenoids, ferulactones A and B ( 1 and 2 , resp.), have been isolated from the roots of Ferula ferulaeoides (Steud.) Korov . Their structures and relative configurations were established by analysis of spectroscopic data. Their absolute configuration was assigned by application of the CD technique.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Thiazole Orange Derivative

Abstract  

The title compound of Thiazole Orange derivative was synthesized by the reaction of benzothiazolium and 4-methyl quinoline salts, which was determined by 1HNMR and MS. A crystalline hydrate of thiazole orange derivative was obtained when the crystal formed and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to the Triclinic system, and the cell parameters of space group P-1 were a = 10.162(2) ?, b = 10.501(2) ?, c = 11.040(2) ?, α = 92.17(3)^o, β = 117.10(3)^o, γ = 92.28(3)^o, V = 1045.9(4) ?³, Z = 2, Dc = 1.380 mg/m⁻³, μ = 0.2 mm⁻¹, F(000) = 460, and the final R = 0.0625 and wR = 0.1862 for 3658 observed reflections (I > 2σ(I)). The two aromatic rings linked by the methylene bridged chain are a coplanar structure.
