Photoactivity of titanium dioxide/carbon felt composites prepared with the assistance of supercritical carbon dioxide: Effects of calcination temperature and supercritical conditions

TiO2-coated carbon felt(TCF)composite catalysts have been prepared via a supercritical treatment of titanium tetraisopropoxide(TTIP)as the precursor.The physical properties of the catalysts were characterized by means of thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis(TG–DTA),X-ray diffraction(XRD),fluorescence spectroscopy,scanning electron microscopy (SEM),and BET surface areas techniques.The photocatalytic activities of the materials were evaluated using the degradation of Congo red(CR)as a probe rea...     

A new alkaloid from Lycoris aurea

A new alkaloid was isolated from the bulbs of Lycoris aurea(L'Herit.) Herb.Its structure was established as 3-o-ethyltazettinol through chemical and spectroscopic studies including 2D NMR.     

Practical synthesis of new functionalized tetraphenylenes

The practical synthesis procedure of substituted tetraphenylene derivatives involving the synthesis of a precursor for 4, 7-dunethoxyisobenzofuran and Diets-Alder addition of 4, 7-dimethoxyisobenzofuran generated in situ to 5, 6, 11,12-te-tradehydrodibenzo[a,e]cyclooctene, followed by a low valent titanium mediated deoxygenation to give 1,4, 11, 14-tetra-methoxy-dibenzo[b, n] tetraphenylene, which can be further demethyiated to the corresponding phenolic compound, which was acetylated to afford 1,4,11,14-tetraacetoxy-dibenzo-[ b, n] tetraphenylene.     

A New ent-Kaurane Diterpenoid from Isodon enanderianus

Isodon enanderianus (Hand. -Mazz.) H. W. Li, has been used in folk medicine as anti-inflammatory and detoxified agent1. The Isodon genus is known to be rich in ent-kaurane diterpenoids, a series of new ent-kaurane diterpenoids have been isolated from the dried leaves of I. enanderianus2-4. In order to find more biologically active substances, we have carefully investigated the chemical constituents of I. enanderianus collected in Shiping county of Yunnan province, and as a result, enanderi…     

Red Electroluminescence and Photoluminescence from Novel Binuclear Europium Complex with Squaric Acid Ligand

Organic electroluminescent devices (OELDs) have attracted much attention for several years because of their potential application in large area, multi-colored flat panel displays1-5. The green organic EL display using Alq3 as emitter was commercialized in 19976. However, red-emitting OELD with excellent properties has not been well developed. In order to realize practical full-color OELDs, it is considered very important to develop red and blue emitting materials with excellent propert…     

STUDY ON THE BLOOD FAT REGULATION OF THE FUCOIDA-GALACTOSAN SULFATE (FGS) FROM LAMINARIA JAPONICA

1. INTRODUCTION Blood fat primarily contains cholesterol, cholesterol ester, phosphatide, triglyceride and free fatty acid in serum of human being and mammalian. Under physiological conditions, the lipids transport in the form of lipoproteins linked with the proteins. Except for the free fatty acid linked with albumin, the other lipids are linked with the globular proteins into high-density lipoproteins (HDL), low density lipoproteins (LDL), very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) and so…     

Synthesis,Structure,and Ring-opening Metathesis Polymerization of η~5-Pentamethylcyclopentadienyl-(η~5-exo-tricyclo [5.2.1.0~(2,6)]deca-2,5,8-trien-6-yl) Iron

η5-Pentamethylcyclopentadienyl-(η5-exo-tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]deca-2,5,8-trien-6-yl) iron(3) was synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS, elemental analysis, IR, UV and X-ray diffraction analysis. Compound 3 was polymerized with ring-opening metathesis polymerization(ROMP) initiator (PCy3)2Cl2Ru=CHPh. 1H NMR and IR spectra revealed the presence of CH=CH units in the polymer and supported the ROMP mechanism. GPC analysis of the polymer showed that the weight-average molecular weights(Mw) was 5967, ...     

Spectral and Mechanistic Studies of the Reactions of Substituted 1,5-Benzothiazepine with Dichloroacetyl Chloride and Triethylamine

A lot of attentions have been paid to the synthesis of benzothiazepines and derivatives1,2 due to their significant physiological activities. It has been reported that b-lactam, a major part of the antibiotic skeleton, can be introduced to a molecule by reaction of an imine moiety with ketene3,4. We introduced a b-lactam skeleton to benzothiazepine and hoped the new compounds may possess certain biological activities. SHNH3ClCHCHCOC2H5OHSNClCla: ortho-Clb: para-Cl+PyridineScheme …     

Two novel fluorescent calix[4]arene derivatives with benzoazole units in 1,3-alternate conformation for selective recognition to Fe~(3+) and Cr~(3+)

Two novel fluorescent calix[4]arene derivatives 1a and 1b with benzoxazole or benzothiazole units in 1,3-alternate conformation have been synthesized and characterized by IR,~1H NMR,~(13)C NMR and MS.Their complexation properties to different heavy and transition metal ions have been studied by UV-vis spectroscopy and fluorescence spectrometer.Compounds 1a and 1b show selective recognition to Fe~(3+) and Cr~(3+).
