Intramolecular Alkyne Coupling in the Reaction of 1,8-bis(phenylethynyl)naphthalene with Pt2Ru4(CO)18

The reaction of Pt₂Ru₄(CO)₁₈, 1 with 1,8-bis(phenylethynyl)naphthalene, 2 has yielded two metal carbonyl cluster complexes: Ru₂(CO)₆[- ²-C₁₀H₆C₄Ph₂], 3 (60% yield) and Ru₂Pt(CO)₆[- ²-C₁₀H₆C₄Ph₂]₂, 4 (8% yield). Both compounds were characterized by a single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Both products were formed as a result of fragmentation of the Pt₂Ru₄ cluster of 1. Compound 3 contains two ruthenium atoms. They are bridged by a tricyclic C₁₀H₆C₄Ph₂ ligand formed by the coupling of the two -carbon atoms of the alkyne groups. The -carbon atoms of the alkynes are -bonded to one of the ruthenium atoms to form a metallacycle and this entire group is -bonded to the second ruthenium atom. Compound 4 contains two ruthenium atoms with a platinum atom between them. This molecule contains two tricyclic C₁₀H₆C₄Ph₂ ligands similar to that in 3, and two metallacycles formed by coordination of the -carbon atoms of both ligands to the platinum atom. One ligand is -bonded to each of the ruthenium atoms.     

Stereoselective Synthesis of (Z)-α,β-Unsaturated Ketones via Hydromagnesiation of Alkynylsilanes

α,β-Unsaturated ketones are important synthetic intermediates because of their versatile reactivities and many syn-thetic applications of them have been reported in the literature.[1] However, only a few methods for the synthesis of (Z)-α,β-unsaturated ketones are available. The palladium catalyzed coupling reactions of alkenyl copper reagents with acid chlorides afforded (Z)-α,β-unsaturated ketones.[2] The phase transfer catalyzed hydroacylation of allenes with carbon monoxide, decacarbonyldimanganese and methyl iodide gave (Z)-α,β-unsaturated ketones in a stereospecific process.     

PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ION EXCHANGE MEMBRANES BASED ON POLYVINYLIDENE FLUORIDE

 A new ion exchange membrane based on polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and sulfonated poly(styrene- divinylbenzene) was prepared by in-situ polymerization. The incorporation of sulfonic groups into the polyvinylidene fluoride composite membrane was confirmed by infrared spectroscopy (IR), ion exchange capacity (IEC) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX). Area resistance, IEC and water uptake of the treated membrane were evaluated. When 20% of the crosslinked membrane was sulfonated at 80°C for 22 h, the PVDF ion exchange membrane can attain 0.8 Ω·cm²area resistance in NaCl aqueous solution at 25℃, IEC is as high as 2.43 millimoles per gram of the wet membrane. The hydrophilicity of PVDF membrane is also significantly improved after treatment. When 60% of crosslinked membrane was sulfonated at 80 ℃ for 6 h, water uptake of the treated membrane can attain 64.7%.

Fast reduction of a copper center in laccase by nitric oxide and formation of a peroxide intermediate

The rapid reduction of one of the copper atoms (type 2) of tree laccase by nitric oxide (NO) has been detected. Addition of NO to native laccase in the presence of oxygen leads to EPR changes consistent with fast reduction and slow reoxidation of this metal center. These events are paralleled by optical changes that are reminiscent of formation and decay of the peroxide intermediate in a fraction of the enzyme population. Formation of this species is only possible if the trinuclear copper cluster (type 2 plus type 3) is fully reduced. This condition can only be met if, as suggested previously, a fraction of the enzyme contains both type 3 coppers already reduced before addition of NO. Our data are consistent with this assumption. We have suggested recently that fast reduction of copper is the mechanism by which NO interacts with the oxidized dinuclear center in cytochrome c oxidase. The present experiments using laccase strongly support this view and suggest this reaction as a general mechanism by which copper proteins interact with NO. In addition, this provides an unexploited way to produce a stable peroxide intermediate in copper oxidases in which the full complement of copper atoms is present. This enables the O-O scission step in the catalytic cycle to be studied by electron addition to the peroxide derivative through the native electron entry site, type 1 copper.     

Self－assembly of Novel Hetero[3]rotaxane, [2]Rotaxanes and [2]Catenane

One linear template 13 and one cyclophane template 15, both incorporating two electron rich 1,4‐dialkoxybenzene units and one diamide unit, have been synthesized. By utilizing donor‐acceptor interaction and/or intermolecular hydrogen bonding assembling principles, one novel hetero[3]rotazane 22·4Cl, possessing one neutral and one tetracationic ring components, has been synthesized from 13, through neutral [2]rotaxane 21 as intermediate. With 15 as template, tetracationic [2]catenane 23·4PF₆ was assembled by using donor‐acceptor interaction, but no neutral [2]rotaxane could be obtained under the typical conditions of hydrogen bonding assembling principle. The interlocked supramolecular compounds have been characterized and their spectral properties are investigated.     

Crystal Structure and Ethylene Oligomerization Catalytic Activity of {2-Carbethoxy-6-[1-[（2,6-diethylphenyl）imino]ethyl]pyridine}CoCl2

The unsymmetric precursor ethyl 6-acetylpyridine-2-carboxylate （4） was synthesized from 2,6-dimethylpyridine （1）. On the basis of this precursor, a new mono（imino）pyridine ligand （5） and the corresponding Co（Ⅱ） complex {2-carbethoxy-6-[1-[（2,6-diethylphenyl）imino]ethyl]pyridine}CoCl2 （6） were prepared. The crystal structure of complex indicates that the 2-carbethoxy-6-iminopyridine is coordinated to the cobalt as a tridentate ligand using [N, N, O] atoms, and the coordination geometry of the central cobalt is a distorted trigonal bipyramid, with the pyridyl nitrogen atom and the two chlorine atoms forming the equatorial plane. Being applied to the ethylene oligomedzation, this cobalt complex shows catalytic activity of 1.820× 10^4 g/mol-Cooh at 101325 Pa of ethylene at 15.5℃ for 1 h, when 1000 equiv, of methylaluminoxane （MAO） is employed as the cocatalyst.

Influence of demulsifiers of different structures on interfacial dilational properties of an oil-water interface containing surface-active fractions from crude oil

The influences of two commercial demulsifiers that have a straight chain and branch chain, respectively, on the dilational viscoelasticity of an oil-water interfacial film containing surface-active fractions from crude oil were investigated. The branch-chain demulsifier AE-121 could efficiently substitute surface-active fractions of different average molecular weights from the oil-water interface, while straight-chain SP-169 could only efficiently substitute those of large average molecular weight. It was apt to form a mix-adsorption layer with surface-active fractions of small average molecular weight. The results showed that the molecular size (or represented by average molecular weights) of the surface-active fractions was an important factor influencing the reciprocity of demulsifiers and surface-active fractions at the oil-water interface. This effect could be well explained by the difference between sizes of surface-active fraction molecules and vacancies between demulsifier molecules at the interface. The results of SDBS also proved this explanation.
