Gold‐Catalyzed Fluorination–Hydration: Synthesis of α‐Fluorobenzofuranones from 2‐Alkynylphenol Derivatives

The Au^I‐catalyzed fluorination–hydration of 2‐alkynylphenol derivatives in the presence of Selectfluor [1‐chloromethyl‐4‐fluoro‐1,4‐diazoniabicyclo‐[2.2.2]octane bis(tetrafluoroborate)] has been developed. This method provides straightforward access to α‐fluorobenzofuranones with the construction of C?O, C=O, and C?F bonds in a single step on the basis of an Au^I/Au^III redox catalytic cycle. Several control experiments, including the asymmetric variant of this reaction, were also conducted to gain insight into the reaction mechanism.     

Two 2D Metal‐organic Networks Based on a Rigid Imidazolate/Sulfonate Functionalized Ligand – Effect of the Coordination Modes of the Ligand on Crystal Structures

A rigid imidazolate/sulfonate functionalized ligand, 6‐(4‐sulfonatopheny)imidazo[4, 5‐f]isoindole‐5, 7‐dione (SPID) was designed and used for assembling reactions with Mn²⁺ and Cu²⁺ ions. Two 2D frameworks compounds, [Mn(H_‐1SPID)₂(DMAC)₂] ( 1 ) and [Cu(H_‐2SPID)(H₂O)₂] · 0.7DMAC · 0.3H₂O ( 2 ) (DMAC = N,N‐dimethylacetamide) were obtained. Single crystal X‐ray analyses show that 1 has a 2D (4, 4)‐net based on 4‐connected Mn²⁺ nodes and μ₂‐coordinated H_‐1SPID spacers, whereas compound 2 has a 2D (6, 3)‐net built of 3‐connected Cu²⁺ nodes and μ₃‐coordinated H_‐2SPID spacers. Additionally, the thermal behavior of 1 and 2 is presented.

Three Octacyanometallate‐Based LnIII–MV (Ln = La,Ce; M = Mo,W) Bimetallic Assemblies with a One‐Dimensional Rope‐Ladder Chain Structure

Three octacyanometallate‐based hetero‐bimetallic complexes, [Ln(H₂O)₄(CH₃CN)₂][M(CN)₈] · CH₃CN [Ln = La, M = Mo( 1 ), W( 2 ); Ln = Ce, M = W( 3 )], were synthesized and characterized structurally. Single‐crystal X‐ray analysis reveals that 1 – 3 are isomorphous and consist of infinite one‐dimensional (1D) 3,3 rope‐ladder chains, in which the 12‐membered puckered square Ln₂M₂(CN)₄ is the basic building unit. The 1D chains are further linked through interchain hydrogen bonds, resulting in a three‐dimensional (3D) supramolecular network.

Enhanced Catalytic Activity in Liquid‐Exfoliated FeOCl Nanosheets as a Fenton‐Like Catalyst

A facile liquid‐phase exfoliation method to prepare few‐layer FeOCl nanosheets in acetonitrile by ultrasonication is reported. The detailed exfoliation mechanism and generated products were investigated by combining first‐principle calculations and experimental approaches. The similar cleavage energies of FeOCl (340 mJ m^?2) and graphite (320 mJ m^?2) confirm the experimental exfoliation feasibility. As a Fenton reagent, FeOCl nanosheets showed outstanding properties in the catalytic degradation of phenol in water at room temperature, under neutral pH conditions, and with sunlight irradiation. Apart from the increased surface area of the nanosheets, the surface state change of the nanosheets also plays a key role in improving the catalytic performance. The changes of charge density, density of states (DOS), and valence state of Fe atoms in the exfoliated FeOCl nanosheets versus plates illustrated that surface atomistic relationships made the few‐layer nanosheets higher activity, indicating the exfoliation process of the FeOCl nanosheets also brought about surface state changes.     

Fast Gaussian wavepacket transforms and Gaussian beams for the Schrödinger equation

This paper introduces a wavepacket-transform-based Gaussian beam method for solving the Schrödinger equation. We focus on addressing two computational issues of the Gaussian beam method: how to generate a Gaussian beam representation for general initial conditions and how to perform long time propagation for any finite period of time. To address the first question, we introduce fast Gaussian wavepacket transforms and develop on top of them an efficient initialization algorithm for general initial conditions. Based on this new initialization algorithm, we address the second question by reinitializing the beam representation when the beams become too wide. Numerical examples in one, two, and three dimensions demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed algorithms. The methodology can be readily generalized to deal with other semi-classical quantum mechanical problems.
