A Novel Green Synthesis of Quinolines through Acid-catalyzed Friedlander Reaction in Ionic Liquids

Quinoline derivatives were efficiently prepared through acid-catalyzed Friedlander reaction in ionic liquid ([bmim] [BF4]). It is shown that the proposed method is operationally simple and environmentally benign in that the reaction media and the catalyst can be recovered and be reused effectively for at least four times.     

QSAR Studies on the COX-2 Inhibition by 3,4-Diarylcycloxazolones Based on MEDV Descriptor

Selective inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) might avoid the side effects of current available nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs while retaining their therapeutic efficacy. A novel variable selection and modeling method based on prediction is developed to construct the quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) between the molecular electronegativity distance vector (MEDV) based on 13 atomic types and the biological activities of a set of selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitory molecules, 3,4-diarylcycloxazolones (DAA) plus indomethacin,naproxen, and celecoxib. Using multiple linear regression, a 5-variable linear model is developed with the calibrated correlation coefficient of 0.9271 and root mean square error of 0.17 in modeling stage and the validated correlation coefficient of 0.9030 and root mean square error of 0.20 in leave-one-out validation step, respectively. To further test the predictive ability of the model, 20 DAA compounds are picked up to construct a training set which is used to build a QSAR model and then the model is employed to predict the biological activities of the balance compounds. The predicted correlation coefficient and root mean square error are 0.9332 and 0.19, respectively.     

Synthesis, Characterization and Crystal Structure of （Z）-1-[2-（Triarylstannyl）vinyl]-1-indanols and Their Arylhalostannyl Derivatives

(Z)-1-[2-(Tri-o-tolylstannyl)vinyl]-1-indanol (1) and (Z)-1-[2-(tri-p-tolylstannyl)vinyl]-l-indanol (2) were synthesized by the addition reaction of 1-ethynylindanol with tri-o-tolyltin and tri-p-tolyltin hydride. The aryl groups in compound 1 and 2 were substituted by Br2 or I2 to yield monohalide derivatives (3-6). The compounds 1-6 were characterized by elemental analysis, ^1H NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy. The crystal structures of 1, 2 and 4 have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The Sn atom in 1 and 2 exhibits a tetrahedral geometry distorted towards trigonal bipyramid due to a weak intramolecular interaction between Sn and the hydroxyl O atoms [0.2839(4) nm and 0.2744(5) nm], while the Sn atom in 4 adopts a trigonal bipyramidal geometry with a significant O→Sn(1) interaction [0.2552(5) nm].     

Towards Single-component Molecular Conductor [Ni(dmit)_2] by Charge Disproportionation:2[Ni(dmit)_2]~(-0.5)[Ni(dmit)_2]+[Ni(dmit)_2]~-

It was commonly thought that a molecular conductor or semiconductor should be composed of at least two components to make the conducting component in partially charged state. However, this idea became questionable by the recent report of the single-component molecular conductor [Ni(tmdt)2]1 as well as several reports about single-component molecular semiconductors such as [Ni(ptdt)2]2 and [Ni(C10H10S8)2]3. In fact, as early as 1985, [Ni(dmit)2] as a by-product in synthesizing TTF[Ni(dmit…     

废旧电池中的重金属对人体的危害

讨论了废旧电池对环境的致毒作用和对人体健康的危害，介绍了废旧电池中重金属在生物体中的吸收、转化、分布、作用部位及毒性，指出人类社会的可持续性发展与自然生态循环的协调一致要求从源头上制止污染，而不是在术端治理污染，即从根本上改变人类的物质生活方式，重新回到生态系统的框架之内。     

羧甲基壳聚糖/聚乙烯醇/甘油环氧树脂蛇笼型复合螯合膜的制备及对金属离子的吸附性能

以交联甘油环氧树脂交联的聚乙烯醇(PVA)为笼树脂，羧甲基壳聚糖(CCTS)为蛇树脂制备了具有蛇笼结构的复合螯合膜，研究了其对Cu^2 、Ni^2 、Pb^2 、Fe^3 、Zn^2 ，Hg”^2 、Cd^2 等金属离子的吸附性能，研究表明，该树脂对Cu^2 、Ni^2 、Pb^2 有较好的吸附性能，其中PVA是对Cu^2 的吸附的主要贡献者，而CCTS则是在对Ni^2 的吸附中起主要作用。该树脂可以用于含Cu^2 废水的处理。     

Characterization and separation of Al_(13) species using gel-filtration chromatography

Polyaluminum chloride (PAC) coagulant has been developed and widely used in water and wastewater treatment industry since the 1980s[1]. PAC is normally made by partial hydrolysis of acid aluminum chloride solution using slow alkaline titration method. However, this method would result in many different Al species. Among these Al species, it seems that tridecamer (Al13O4(OH) 724 , often denoted by Al13) is the most effective and stable polymeric Al species for water and wastewater treatme…
