Highly Efficient C?H Oxidative Activation by a Porous MnIII–Porphyrin Metal–Organic Framework under Mild Conditions

A simple strategy to rationally immobilize metalloporphyrin sites into porous mixed‐metal–organic framework (M′MOF) materials by a metalloligand approach has been developed to mimic cytochrome P450 monooxygenases in a biological system. The synthesized porous M′MOF of [Zn₂(MnOH–TCPP)(DPNI)] ? 0.5 DMF ? EtOH ? 5.5 H₂O ( CZJ‐1 ; CZJ=Chemistry Department of Zhejiang University; TCPP=tetrakis(4‐carboxyphenyl)porphyrin); DPNI=N,N′‐di(4‐pyridyl)‐1,4,5,8‐naphthalenetetracarboxydiimide) has the type of doubly interpenetrated cubic α‐Po topology in which the basic Zn₂(COO)₄ paddle‐wheel clusters are bridged by metalloporphyrin to form two‐dimensional sheets that are further bridged by the organic pillar linker DPNI to form a three‐dimensional porous structure. The porosity of CZJ‐1 has been established by both crystallographic studies and gas‐sorption isotherms. CZJ‐1 exhibits significantly high catalytic oxidation of cyclohexane with conversion of 94 % to the mixture of cyclohexanone (K) and cyclohexanol (A) (so‐called K–A oil) at room temperature. We also provided solid experimental evidence to verify the catalytic reaction that occurred in the pores of the M′MOF catalyst.     

New Entangled Coordination Networks Based on Charge‐Tunable Keggin‐Type Polyoxometalates

Investigation into a hydrothermal reaction system with transition‐metal (TM) ions, 1,4‐bis(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐lmethyl)benzene (BBTZ) and various charge‐tunable Keggin‐type polyoxometalates (POMs) led to the preparation of four new entangled coordination networks, [Co^II(HBBTZ)(BBTZ)_2.5][PMo₁₂O₄₀] ( 1 ), [Cu^I(BBTZ)]₅[BW₁₂O₄₀] ? H₂O ( 2 ), [Cu^II(BBTZ)]₃[AsW^V₃W^VI₉O₄₀] ? 10 H₂O ( 3 ), and [Cu^II₅(BBTZ)₇(H₂O)₆][P₂W₂₂Cu₂O₇₇(OH)₂] ? 6 H₂O ( 4 ). All compounds were characterized by using elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, powder X‐ray diffraction, and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The mixed valence of W centers in compound 3 was further confirmed by using XPS spectroscopy and bond‐valence sum calculations. In the structural analysis, the entangled networks of 1 – 4 demonstrate zipper‐closing packing, 3D polythreading, 3D polycatenation, and 3D self‐penetration, respectively. Moreover, with the enhancement of POM negative charges and the use of different TM types, the number of nodes in the coordination networks of 1 – 4 increased and the basic metal–organic building motifs changed from a 1D zipper‐type chain (in 1 ) to a 2D pseudorotaxane layer (in 2 ) to a 3D diamond‐like framework (in 3 ) and finally to a 3D self‐penetrating framework (in 4 ). The photocatalytic properties of compounds 1 – 4 for the degradation of methylene blue under UV light were also investigated; all compounds showed good catalytic activity and the photocatalytic activity order of Keggin‐type species was initially found to be {XMo₁₂O₄₀}>{XW₁₂O₄₀}>{XW_12?nTM_nO₄₀}.     

Transition from π Radicals to σ Radicals: Substituent‐Tuned Cyclization of Hydrazonyl Radicals

Hydrazonyl radicals are known for their π‐electronic structures; however, their σ‐electronic structures have not been reported as yet. Herein, we show that readily accessible β,γ‐ and γ,δ‐unsaturated N‐trichloroacetyl and N‐trifluoroacetyl hydrazones can be conveniently converted into hydrazonyl σ radicals, which subsequently undergo 5‐exo‐trig radical cyclization at the N¹ or N² atom to form pyrazolines and azomethine imines, respectively.     

Tailoring 3,3′‐Dihydroxyisorenieratene to Hydroxystilbene: Finding a Resveratrol Analogue with Increased Antiproliferation Activity and Cell Selectivity

Four novel compounds were designed by “tailoring” 3,3′‐dihydroxyisorenieratene (a natural carotenoid) based on an isoprene unit retention truncation strategy. Among them, the smallest molecule 1 (2,3,6,2′,3′,6′‐hexamethyl‐4,4′‐dihydroxy‐trans‐stilbene) was concisely synthesized in a one‐pot Stille–Heck tandem sequence, and surfaced as a promising lead molecule in terms of its selective antiproliferative activity mediated by blocking the NCI‐H460 cell cycle in G1 phase. Additionally, theoretical calculations and cell uptake experiments indicate that the unique polymethylation pattern of compound 1 significantly induces a conformational change shift out of planarity and increases its cell uptake and metabolic stability. The observation should be helpful to rationally design resveratrol‐inspired antiproliferative agents.     

Enantioselective Iron‐Catalyzed Intramolecular Cyclopropanation Reactions

An iron‐catalyzed asymmetric intramolecular cyclopropanation was realized in high yields and excellent enantioselectivity (up to 97 % ee) by using the iron complexes of chiral spiro‐bisoxazoline ligands as catalysts. The superiority of iron catalysts exhibited in this reaction demonstrated the potential abilities of this sustainable metal in asymmetric carbenoid transformation reactions.

Synthesis of star-shaped polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) fluorinated acrylates for hydrophobic honeycomb porous film application

Two different eight-arm star-shaped polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) fluorinated acrylates were synthesized through atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and applied for hydrophobic honeycomb-patterned porous films through the breath figure (BF) method. The structure of polymers was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and surface analysis was featured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Depending on the influences of polymer architectures, solvents utilized, and solution concentrations, honeycomb-patterned porous films were obtained. It could be found that the introduction of fluorine components was a favorable condition for BF formation and chloroform (CHCl₃) utilized as solvent with an appropriate concentration of 30 mg/mL was the best condition for these hydrophobic honeycomb-patterned porous films. Meanwhile, the obtained honeycomb films could be retained after long-time preservation in an acid-base condition, which shows a great potential in filtration, cell culture, tissue engineering, and marine antifouling applications.

高效液相色谱法结合一测多评法对隔山消发酵前后3种苯乙酮类化合物含量变化的分析

采用高效液相色谱法结合一测多评法测定了隔山消发酵前后2,4-二羟基苯乙酮、2,5-二羟基苯乙酮和白首乌二苯酮等3种苯乙酮类化合物的含量。分别制备发酵前后的隔山消样品溶液,色谱分析中采用Thermo C18色谱柱作为固定相,用不同比例的水(A)、乙腈(B)和甲醇(C)的混合液作为流动相进行梯度洗脱,达到上述3种组分的良好分离。采用二极管阵列检测器在相同的检测波长(265nm处)分别测定3种组分的峰面积。分别用一测多评法(QAMS)和外标法计算所测定组分的含量,结果表明两种计算方法所得结果相似性极高,据此认为在隔山消发酵前后的样品溶液中各组分的质量评价中采用QAMS是可行的。按上述方法分析了同一批隔山消样品12份,取其中6份经发酵处理,对所得结果的平均值进行了比较,未经发酵的样品溶液中2,4-二羟基苯乙酮的质量分数为0.208mg·g^-1、2,5-二羟基苯乙酮的质量分数为0.152mg·g^-1,与经发酵的样品溶液中的质量分数(2,4-二羟基苯乙酮的质量分数为0.235mg·g^-1、2,5-二羟基苯乙酮的质量分数为0.180mg·g^-1)相比呈升高趋势,而白首乌二苯酮的质量分数由未经发酵样品溶液中的0.678mg·g^-1下降为发酵样品溶液中的0.543mg·g^-1。此外,研究结果还表明,不同含量的2,5-二羟基苯乙酮和白首乌二苯酮相对于2,4-二羟基苯乙酮(参照物)的相对校正因子和相对保留时间基本相同。
