We report the global minima structures of Li8Si8, Li10Si9, and Li12Si10 systems, in which silicon moieties maintain structural and chemical bonding characteristics similar to those of their building blocks: the aromatic clusters Td−Li4Si4 and C2v−Li6Si5. Electron counting rules, chemical bonding analysis, and magnetic response properties verify the silicon unit‘s aromaticity persistence. This study demonstrates the feasibility of assembling silicon-based nanostructures from aromatics clusters as building blocks. 相似文献

Herein, we report the first 1,4-diphosphinine-1,4-diide compound [(ADCPh)P]2 ( 5-Ph ) (ADCPh=PhC{(NDipp)C}2; Dipp=2,6-iPr2C6H3) derived from an anionic dicarbene (ADCPh) as a red crystalline solid. Compound 5-Ph containing a 16π-electron planar fused-tricyclic ring system was obtained by the 4e reduction of [(ADCPh)PCl2]2 ( 4-Ph ) with Mg (or KC8) in a quantitative yield. Experimental and computational results imply that the central 8π-electrons C4P2 ring of 5-Ph , which is fused between two 6π-electrons C3N2 aromatic rings, is antiaromatic. Thus, each of the phosphorus atoms of 5-Ph has two electron-lone-pairs, one in a p-type orbital is in conjugation with the C=C bonds of the C4P2 ring, while the second resides in a σ-symmetric orbital. This can be shown with the gold complex [(ADCPh)P(AuCl)2]2 ( 6-Ph ) obtained by reacting 5-Ph with (Me2S)AuCl. A mixture of 5-Ph and 4-Ph undergoes comproportionation in the presence of MgCl2 to form the intermediate oxidation state compound [(ADCAr)P]2(MgCl4) ( 7-Ph ), which is an aromatic species. 相似文献
Concerning the increased market for bio-based materials and environmentally safe practices, cellulose-based beads are one of the more attractive alternatives. Thus, this work focuses on the generation of functional cellulose-based beads with a relatively simple and direct method of blending a pre-modified chitosan bearing the targeted functional groups and cellulose, prior to the formation of the beads, as a mean to have functional groups in the formed structure. To this end, chitosan was chemically modified with propargyl bromide in homogenous reaction conditions and then combined with cellulose in sodium hydroxide/urea solution and coagulated in nitric acid to produce spherical shaped beads. The successful chemical modification of chitosan was assessed by elemental analysis, as well as by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The alkynyl moieties from the chitosan derivative, served as reactive functional groups for click-chemistry as demonstrated by the tagging of the commercial fluorophore Azide-Fluor 488 via CuI-catalysed alkyne-azide cycloaddition reaction, in aqueous media. This work demonstrates the one-step processing of multiple polysaccharides for functional spherical beads as a template for bio-based scaffolds such as enzyme immobilization for stimuli-response applications and bioconjugations.
We designed, synthesized, and characterized a new Zr‐based metal–organic framework material, NU‐1100 , with a pore volume of 1.53 ccg?1 and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area of 4020 m2g?1; to our knowledge, currently the highest published for Zr‐based MOFs. CH4/CO2/H2 adsorption isotherms were obtained over a broad range of pressures and temperatures and are in excellent agreement with the computational predictions. The total hydrogen adsorption at 65 bar and 77 K is 0.092 g g?1, which corresponds to 43 g L?1. The volumetric and gravimetric methane‐storage capacities at 65 bar and 298 K are approximately 180 vSTP/v and 0.27 g g?1, respectively. 相似文献
