Silver(I)-mediated reaction of trimethylsilylated arylacetylenes with sulfonyl chlorides:Unexpected formation of vinvl sulfones

A novel reaction of trimethylsilylated arylacetylenes with sulfonyl chlorides was performed in the presence of silver nitrate or triflate.Conjugated vinyl sulfones as dramatic products were obtained in moderate yields and with Z-selectivity.A free radical mechanism has been proposed to account for the formation of the products.     

Differential transfer matrix method for photonic band structure of one dimensional non-uniform distribution plasma photonic crystal

An approach of analytical calculation for photonic band gap structure (PBGS) of one-dimensional periodic media, such as non-uniform distribution plasma photonic crystal (PPC), is given on the basis of the recently reported differential transfer matrix method. The dispersion equation of electromagnetic wave propagating in one dimensional non-uniform distribution PPC is derived and the PBGSs for several numerical cases, such as linear distribution, exponential distribution and Epstein distribution, are calculated and discussed.     

REACTION OF SCHIFF BASE OF THIOHYDRAZIDES WITH P(NR2)3

Abstract

Three pathways were observed in the reactions of Schiff bases of Thiohydrazides with P(NR₂)₃. (a) MeS-R₂N exchange: MeS-C([dbnd]S)-NHN[dbnd]CHPh (1) reacted with P(NR₂)₃ led to new Schiff bases, R₂N-C([dbnd]S)-NHN[dbnd]CH = Ph (2). (b) Cleavage of C[dbnd]S bond and the formation of P[dbnd]S bond: H₂N-C([dbnd]S)-NHN[dbnd]CH = Ph (3) reacted with P(NR₂)₃ gave rise to the thiophosphoric amide. (Et₂N)₂P([dbnd]S)-NH-CH = N-N[dbnd]CH-Ph (4). (c) Formation of thiadiazole and triazole: Schiff bases 2a and H₂N(MeS)C = N-N[dbnd]CH-Ph (6) reacted with P(NR₂)₃ respectively and produced 5-dimethylamino-2-phenyl-2,3-(2H)-1,3,4-thiadiazole (5) and 5-methylthio-2-phenyl-2,3-(2H)-1,3,4-triazole (7).     

Thermal and optical properties of highly fluorinated copolymers of methacrylates

Copolymers of pentafluorophenylhexafluoroisopropyl methacrylate (FPPMA) with trifluoroethyl methacrylate (TFEMA) were prepared in THF solution and in bulk using azobisisobutyronitrile as a free radical initiator. The monomer reactivity ratios of TFEMA (M₁) and FPPMA (M₂) were calculated as r₁ = 0.55 and r₂ = 0.07. The refractive indices of poly(TFEMA) and poly(FPPMA) are very similar as 1.435 and 1.430, respectively, at 532 nm, and the copolymer films were transparent. The glass transition temperatures (T_g) of the copolymers were in the range of 80–90°C and showed a negative deviation from the Gordon–Taylor equation. The thermal decomposition temperature (T_d) was increased with the content of FPPMA in copolymers. Low water absorption for 1:1 FPPMA/TFEMA copolymer was detected. Copolymers of FPPMA with hexafluoroisopropyl methacrylate (HFPMA) were also prepared. The monomer reactivity ratios of HFPMA (M₁) and FPPMA (M₂) were calculated as r₁ = 0.43 and r₂ = 0.10. The T_gs of the copolymers were in the range of 88–95°C and showed also a negative deviation from the Gordon–Taylor equation. T_g and T_d of the copolymers were increased with the content of FPPMA. The refractive index of poly(HFPMA) (1.384 at 532 nm) is much lower than that of FPPMA homopolymer, but copolymer films obtained were clear and transparent.

Complex 1 contains one-dimensional double-stranded chains comprising 24-membered Ni 2 (4,4'-oda) 2 macrocycles, each formed by two 4,4'-oda ligands and two octahedral Ni II centers. Complex 2 exhibits two-dimensional non-interpenetrating networks consisting of large 48-membered macrocycles each formed by four 4,4'-oda ligands and four octahedral Co II centers. The crystal structures of 3 and 4 are isomorphous and both contain one-dimensional double-stranded chains comprising 24-membered M 2 (4,4'-oda) 2 macrocycles, which are interlinked by w -1,3-azide groups to generate cationic two-dimensional sheets. These sheets are further connected by hydrogen bonds between the amine groups and nitrate ions to furnish three-dimensional networks.

负载型CuO/TiO2催化剂催化CO2加氢制甲醇

采用浸渍法制备了CuO/TiO₂负载型催化剂,并将其用于CO₂加氢制甲醇反应。重点考察了铜的负载量对催化剂性能的影响,并对其物化性能和催化性能之间的关系进行了讨论。结果发现,随着铜负载量的增加,催化剂中金属铜的比表面先增加后减小,当铜的负载量为10%（质量百分数）时达到最大值。催化剂的表面碱性位数量随铜含量的增加持续减小,中等碱位和强碱位的强度下降。当铜的负载量不高于10%时,CO₂的转化率与铜的比表面积呈线性关系。甲醇选择性与催化剂的表面碱位性质有关,过强的碱性位会降低甲醇选择性。     

三个基于Cu2X2(X-=Cl-、Br-和I-)结构单元双核Cu(Ⅰ)配合物的合成、晶体结构、电子吸收和发射光谱

合成并表征了3个含Cu₂X₂结构单元的双核Cu(Ⅰ)配合物[Cu₂(μ-X)₂(deebq)₂] (其中deebq=2, 2′-联喹啉-4, 4′-二甲酸乙酯;X=Cl (1), Br (2) or I (3))。化合物1~3同构, 其晶体属三斜晶系, 空间群为P1, 具有相似的晶胞参数和晶体堆积结构。Cu₂X₂双核单元具有反演中心对称性, 每个Cu⁺与deebq配体中2个N原子、2个μ₂桥联的卤素X^-阴离子配位, 形成扭曲的四面体配位环境。通过deebq配体中苯环间π…π堆积, 相邻双核分子形成超分子一维链, 超分子链间存在弱范德瓦尔斯引力。在二氯甲烷溶液中, 3个化合物都存在1个宽而不对称的电荷迁移吸收带(500~630 nm区域), 其强度和位置不受桥联X^-配体影响。因此, 电荷迁移带归属为由Cu⁺中心到deebq配体的电荷转移。在二氯甲烷溶液中, 3个化合物发射强荧光, 发射带中心波长位于400 nm处, 该发射带归属为deebq配体内的π-π^*电子跃迁。在固体以及二氯甲烷溶液中, 都没观察到从金属中心到配体的MLCT发射带。
