Daphlongeramine A, novel Daphniphyllum alkaloid from Daphniphyllum longeracemosum

A novel Daphyniphyllum alkaloid, Daphlongeramine A (1) with a unique fused octacyclic skeleton, together with a quite recently reported alkaloid Paxdaphnine A (2), were isolated from the fruits of Daphniphyllum longeracemosum. The structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data.     

Synthesis of MoSe2/Reduced graphene oxide composites with improved tribological properties for oil‐based additives

In this work, we developed a facile and effective hydrothermal method synthesis of MoSe₂ nanoflowers on reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sheets. The as‐prepared MoSe₂/reduced graphene oxide (MoSe₂/RGO) composites are characterized by X‐ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results indicated that MoSe₂ nanoflowers were successfully deposited on RGO nanosheets to form a well interconnected hybrid structure. The tribological properties of MoSe₂/RGO composites as lubricating oil additive were investigated by a UMT‐2 ball‐on‐plate friction and wear tester. By the addition of MoSe₂/RGO composites in paraffin oil, the antiwear ability was improved and the friction coefficient was decreased. The based oil with MoSe₂/RGO composites showed better tribological properties than the oil with MoSe₂ and pure oil. The good friction and wear properties of MoSe₂/RGO composites as additives were attributed to the formation of a thin physical tribofilm on the substrate.     

A better ferrimagnetic half-metal LuCu3Mn4O12: Predicted from first-principles investigation

Electronic structure calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and GGA+U for manganite cuprate compound LuCu₃Mn₄O₁₂ have been performed, using the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method. The calculated results indicate that LuCu₃Mn₄O₁₂ is ferrimagnetic and half-metallic in both GGA and GGA+U calculations. The minority-spin band gap is 0.7 eV within GGA, which is larger than that of LaCu₃Mn₄O₁₂ (0.3 eV), indicating its better half-metallicity. Further, the minority-spin gap enlarges from 0.7 to 2.8 eV with U taken into account, and simultaneously the Fermi level being shifted to the middle of the gap, making the half-metallic energy gap to be 1.21 eV. These results demonstrate that electronic correlation effect enhances the stability of half-metallic property. These facts make this system interesting candidates for applications in spintronic devices.

Hydration of methane intercalated in Na-smectites with distinct layer charge: insights from molecular simulations

Molecular dynamic simulations have been carried out to investigate the behavior of methane hydration in Na-smectite interlayers with different layer-charge distributions and water contents under certain pressure-temperature (P-T) conditions, which is analogous to the methane hydrate-bearing marine sediments. It was found that sufficient interlayer water is necessary for coordinating with methane and forming hydrate-like structures. Methane molecules are solvated by nearly 12-13 water molecules and coordinated with six oxygen atoms from the clay surface in the interlayer of nontronite as well as in montmorillonite. The mobility of the interlayer water of smectite, which is determined by the layer-charge amount and distribution of smectite, also influences the stability of hydrate methane complexes. The tetrahedral negative charge site is closer to the surface than the octahedral charge site and is more effective in confining water than methane water molecules.     

离子的极化和形变

离子的极化和形变是无机化学教学中的一对重要概念,这对概念可以用于解释化合物的结构及许多物理和化学性质。然而一些教科书在介绍这对概念时,大都把极化作用限于阳离子,把形变作用限于阴离子,而忽略了阴离子的极化作用和阳离子的形变作用。同时,在应用这对概念解释化合物结构和性质时,条理上也不十分清晰,甚至还出现自相矛盾的情况,使得学生在学习这对概念时感到困惑。本文介绍了离子的极化和形变这对概念的基本含义,讨论了影响极化能力和形变程度的因素,分析了一些化合物的结构以及溶解度、颜色和热稳定性等物理和化学性质。特别是对一些教学中有争议的问题给出了合理解释。在分析小分子结构时,极化和形变概念的运用可以弥补杂化轨道理论和价层电子对互斥理论的不足。     

离子液体的制备及其在酶催化反应中的应用

离子液体,尤其是非水溶性离子液体可以作为一种溶剂或酶的载体用于非水相酶促反应中,也可以用于双相体系中的酶促反应。本文概括性介绍了常见离子液体的制备,总结和讨论了离子液体中酶的活性、稳定性、反应选择性以及各类酶在离子液体中的催化反应行为。离子液体的物性及其与酶的相容性对酶本身及酶促反应都有很大的影响。在非水相酶促反应中,离子液体的极性作用不遵从通常用来判别大多数有机物溶剂行为的规则,比如lgP规则。
