Theoretical assignments of the electronic spectrum of acetylene

Non empirical calculations of energies and properties of some excited states of acetylene are presented. A frozen core approximation is used and excitations to , and MO's are taken into account. Both valence and Rydberg states are considered. Assignments of the UV and electron impact spectra are proposed and some questions are raised.     

基于金属-配体共轭界面键的纳米粒子内电荷离域:金属d电子的影响

Intraparticle charge delocalization occurs when metal nanoparticles are functionalized with organic capping ligands through conjugated metal-ligand interfacial bonds. In this study, metal nanoparticles of 5d metals (Ir, Pt, and Au) and 4d metals (Ru, Rh, and Pd) were prepared and capped with ethynylphenylacetylene and the impacts of the number of metal d electrons on the nanoparticle optoelectronic properties were examined. Both FTIR and photoluminescence measurements indicate that intraparticle charge delocalization was enhanced with the increase of the number of d electrons in the same period with palladium being an exception.     

A One‐Pot Synthesis of 1,2‐Dihydroisoquinoline Derivatives from Isoquinoline via a Four‐Component Reaction

A four‐component reaction for the synthesis of 1,2‐dihydroisoquinoline derivatives is described. The Huisgen 1,4‐dipolar intermediate, which is produced from isoquinoline and an electron‐deficient acetylene compound 1 , reacts with H₂O in the presence of diketene to produce 1,2‐dihydroisoquinoline derivatives 2 (Scheme 1). In addition, reaction of isoquinoline, dibenzoylacetylene (=1,4‐diphenylbut‐2‐yne‐1,4‐dione), and diketene in the presence of H₂O leads to pyrroloisoquinoline derivative 7 . The structures of the compounds 2a – f and 7 were corroborated spectroscopically (IR, ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR, EI‐MS) and by elemental analyses. A plausible mechanism for the reaction is proposed (Schemes 2 and 3).     

Synthesis of 1-vinylpyrrole-2-carbonitriles

A new highly synthetically potent series of bifunctional pyrroles, 1-vinylpyrrole-2-carbonitriles, were synthesized from readily available 1-vinylpyrrole-2-carbaldehyde oximes by two methods: (1) reaction with acetylene (KOH/DMSO, 70 °C, 10 min, yields 58-67%) and (2) reaction with acetic anhydride (90-100 °C, 5 h, yields 83-93%). Starting from 2-phenyl-1-vinylpyrrole, the one-pot synthesis of the corresponding 1-vinyl-2-carbonitrile was accomplished directly by successive treatment with a DMF/(COCl)₂ complex, NH₂OH·HCl/NaOAc, and acetic anhydride (yield 58%).     

SN2-Selective allylic substitution of chiral γ-aryl substituted allylic picolinates with alkynylcopper reagents

Substitution of γ-aryl secondary allylic picolinates with alkynyl copper reagents was studied. The copper reagent, prepared from TMSCCMgBr and CuBr·Me₂S in 2:1, was subjected to substitution of the picolinate derived from (E)-3-phenyl-1-methyl-2-propenyl alcohol at 0 °C for 1 h in THF to produce a mixture of α- and γ-products and the alcohol in 67:20:13, while the reagent in 3 or 4:1 ratio gave the α-product with 90-91% selectivity. On the contrary, reaction in CH₂Cl₂-THF (6-8:1) at 0 °C for 1 h furnished the α-product with 99% regioselectivity. The effect of CH₂Cl₂ was also demonstrated with eight more examples. Furthermore, 99% inversion was determined by transformation to the literature compound and by chiral HPLC.     

Density functional theory study of the near edge X-ray absorption fine structure and infrared spectroscopy of acetylene and benzene on group IV semiconductor surfaces

The near edge X-ray absorption fine structure and infrared spectroscopy of acetylene and benzene adsorbed on C(1 0 0)-2 × 1, Si(1 0 0)-2 × 1 and Ge(1 0 0)-2 × 1 surfaces is studied with density functional theory calculations. Time dependent density functional theory calculations of the near edge X-ray absorption fine structure with a modified exchange-correlation functional agree well with experiment, and show that the spectral features arise from excitation to π^∗, and orbitals, where X represents C, Si or Ge. The excitation energies are dependent on the surface, and for acetylene, the location of the π^∗ band also varies with the surface. Calculations of the vibrational modes show the CH stretching frequencies for carbon atoms bonded directly to the surface vary significantly between the three surfaces, while those for carbon atoms not bonded to the surface do not change significantly.     

High-resolution Absorption Spectra of Acetylene in 142.8-152.3 nm

利用双光子共振四波混频差频技术产生高分辨、可调谐的真空紫外(VUV)激光,在142.8-152.3nm波长范围内测量了超声射流冷却乙炔分子的吸收光谱. 由于射流冷却的效果和VUV激光高分辨的特性,当前的吸收光谱显示出较以往实验光谱更清晰的光谱振动峰结构,其中主要的三个振动谱峰序列对应了乙炔分子C1Ⅱu态的C-C对称伸缩振动激发(v2=0-2). 此外,148.2 nm处的肩峰则被归属为反对称弯曲振动v4的第一泛频激发,同时由于Renner-Teller效应分裂和跃迁选律的限制,当前的吸收光谱中观测到420(μ1Ⅱu)和420(к1Ⅱu)两个组分. 由此获得了各振动子带的带源位置和半高峰宽. 随着振动的激发,各振动峰逐渐加宽,能级寿命减小.     

Line positions and intensities of acetylene in the 2.2-μm region

More than 440 line positions and intensities of 8 bands of acetylene are measured in the 2.2-μm spectral region. A multispectrum fitting procedure has been applied to retrieve line parameters. The average absolute accuracy of the line parameters obtained in this work is estimated to be ±0.0005 cm⁻¹ for the line positions, and ±5% for the line intensities. Vibrational transition dipole moment and Herman-Wallis coefficients are determined for two of the studied bands. An unusual rotational dependence of the vibrational-rotational transition dipole moment of remaining bands has been found. All measured line intensities are treated simultaneously within the framework of the effective operators approach. The sets of effective dipole moment parameters obtained reproduce the observed line intensities within the experimental uncertainty.     

Voltammetric Separation and Determination of Glutathione and L‐tyrosine with Chlorogenic Acid as an Electrocatalytic Mediator

A novel and sensitive voltammetric method was proposed for separation and determination of glutathione (GSH) and L‐tyrosine (Tyr) at acetylene black and chitosan modified glassy carbon electrode (AB‐CS/GCE). By introducing chlorogenic acid (CGA) as a new electrocatalytic mediator, GSH could be detected at much lower potential with symmetric peak shape. Acetylene black and chitosan composite served as current signal amplifier for sensitive detection. The electrochemical behavior of GSH and Tyr in the presence of CGA was studied at AB‐CS/GCE and complete separation of anodic peaks was achieved. Under the optimum conditions, the electrocatalytic oxidation peak current of GSH showed a linear dependence on its concentration in the ranges of 2.0×10⁻⁷‐4.0×10⁻⁵ M with the detection limit of 5.8×10⁻⁸ M (S/N=3), while the oxidation peak current of Tyr was linear to its concentration from 2.5×10⁻⁶ to 4.3×10⁻⁴ M with the detection limit of 9.2×10⁻⁷ M (S/N=3) by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The established method has been applied to the simultaneous determination of GSH and Tyr in human urine with satisfactory results.
