Water bridges are essential to neonicotinoids: Insights from synthesis,bioassay and molecular modelling studies

To identify the detailed roles of water bridges in neonicotinoids recognition, twenty-four neonicotinoids compounds were designed, synthesized, bioassayed and modelled. Of all nine fragments mimicking water bridges, cyano group was the optimal one. The insecticidal activities indicated that the water bridge might be stable in the active site and was not suitable to be replaced by other groups, which highlighted the significance of water bridges for neonicotinoids.     

Synthesis, Structure and Secondorder Nonlinear Optical Activities of a New Tungsten（0） Compound with Pyridine-2-thiolato Ligand, [Et4N][W（pyS）（CO）4] （pys = C5H4NS^-）

The reaction of W(CO)6 with pyOSNa (C5-H4NOSNa) and Et4NCl in MeCN affords a new tungsten(0) complex [Et4N][W(pyS)(CO)4] 1 (Mr.= 536.29).The crystal and molecular structures have been determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction.Complex 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic system,space group P212121 with a = 8.2429(5),b = 9.1045(4),c =26.8851(14) (A),β = 90.00°,V= 2017.66(18) (A)3,Z = 4,Dc.= 1.765 g/cm3,μ = 58.51 cm-1,F(000) =1048,the final R = 0.0204 and wR = 0.0400 for 4432 observed reflections with I ＞ 2σ(I).X-ray structure analysis revealed that the molecule is acentric and has large first-order hyperpolarizability (7.2 × 10-30 esu),so it could be an IR second-order nonlinear optical candidate material.     

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Electrochemical Properties of One-dimensional Chain Coordination Polymer [Co(Ⅱ)(C6H5CH=CHCOOH)2(4,4''-bipy)(H2O)5]n

A one-dimensional chain coordination polymer [Co(Ⅱ)(C6H5CH=CHCOOH)2(4,4'-bipy)(H2O)5]n has been synthesized with cinnamylic acid, 4,4'-bipy and cobaltous chloride as raw materials. Crystal data for this complex: monoclinic, space group P21/c, a - 1.1481(3), b =1.1230(2), c = 1.1759(3) nm, β = 97.054(4)°, V = 1.5046(6) nm3, Mr= 617.50, Dc = 1.363 g/cm3, Z= 2, μ(MoKα) = 0.627 mm-1, F(000) = 646, S = 1.062, R 0.0443 and wR = 0.1178. The crystal structure shows that two neighboring cobalt(Ⅱ) ions are linked together by one 4,4'-bipy, and the whole complex molecule adopts a one-dimensional chain structure. Each cobalt(Ⅱ) ion is coordinated with two nitrogen atoms from two 4,4'-bipy molecules and four oxygen atoms from four water molecules, giving a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The electrochemical properties were analyzed by combining with the crystal structure.

N-Amino Derivatives of Condensed Imidazole Systems

The previously unknown 1-amino- and 3-aminonaphtho[1,2-d]imidazoles, 1-aminonaphtho[2,3-d]imidazole, 1-aminophenanthro[9,10-d]imidazole and the N-amino-N'-methylimidazolium picrates corresponding to them have been obtained by direct amination of a series of condensed imidazoles with O-picrylhydroxylamine. An X-ray structural investigation of 1-amino-3-methylnaphtho[1,2-d]imidazolium picrate showed that, in difference to 1-aminobenzimidazolium salts, a conformation exists in it in which the hydrogen atoms of the N-NH₂ group are directed to the side of the meso carbon atom.

Production of submicron-size monodisperse polymer particles having aldehyde groups by seeded aldol condensation polymerization

Submicron-size monodisperse polystyrene/polyglutaraldehyde composite particles having aldehyde groups at the surfaces were produced by seeded aldol condensation polymerization of glutaraldehyde in the presence of polystyrene particles prepared by emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization. This technique is expected to be useful for the production of size-controlled polymer particles having aldehyde groups.Part CXXXVI of the series Studies on Suspension and Emulsion

The single crystal and crystallized powder of triphosphate CeP3O9 have been synthesized, and the space group of CeP3O9 has been determined to be C2221 with the cell parameters ofa = 8.6059, b = 11.2437, c = 7.3518 (A), V= 711.4(3) (A)3, Z= 4, Dc = 3.520 g/cm3, F(000) = 700,R = 0.0377 and wR = 0.0930. The absorption and emission spectra have been measured, for which the strongest absorption and emission peaks are located at 280 and 320 nm, respectively. The density of state (DOS) and dielectric function have been calculated by the DFT method. The crystal is transparent provided the wavelength is larger than 341 nm, and the observed ultraviolet cut-off edge is at about 350 nm for a polycrystalline power sample. It is possible that the triphosphate CeP3O9 will become an ultraviolet emission material.
