采用密度泛函理论研究二甲基胺-二苯甲酮的分子内电荷转移激发态氢键

利用(含时)密度泛函理论研究了二甲基胺-二苯甲酮(DMABP)及其氢键二聚物DMABP-MeOH的光物理性质和弛豫动力学过程. 结果表明,在非极性和非质子性溶剂中,DMABP分子的第一和第二激发态跃迁同时具有局域激发和分子内电荷转移的特征;在极性质子性溶剂中,分子间氢键C=O…H-O的形成增加了这两个最低激发态之间的能量差,使DMABP-MeOH的第一激发态具有较强极性的分子内电荷转移特性. 通过计算DMABP和DMABP-MeOH分子的激发态构型弛豫势能曲线研究了激发态动力学弛豫过程. 结果表明,通过扭     

Quantum tautomerization in porphycene and its isotopomers: Path-integral molecular dynamics simulations

Path-integral molecular dynamics simulations have been performed for porphycene and its isotopic variants in order to understand the effect of isotopic substitution of inner protons on the double proton transfer mechanism. We have used an on-the-fly direct dynamics technique at the semiempirical PM6 level combined with specific reaction parameterization. Our quantum simulations show that double proton transfer of the unsubstituted porphycene at T = 300 K mainly occurs via a so-called concerted mechanism through the D_2h second-order saddle point. In addition, we found that both isotopic substitution and temperature significantly affect the double proton transfer mechanism. For example, the contribution of the stepwise mechanism increases with a temperature increase. We have also carried out hypothetical simulations with the porphycene configurations being completely planar. It has been found that out-of-plane vibrational motions significantly decrease the contribution of the concerted proton transfer mechanism.     

Preparation,characterization, and properties of a Ag(I) coordination polymer {[Ag(H3bptc)(bpe)] · 2H2O} n

A new coordination polymer, {[Ag(H₃bptc)(bpe)]?·?2H₂O} _n (1) (H₄bptc?=?3,3′,4,4′-benzophenonetetracarboxylic acid, bpe?=?1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethene), has been synthesized through a hydrothermal technique and structurally characterized. The crystal structure of 1 exhibits a 2-D hydrogen-bonding sheet between H₃bptc^? and two free water molecules.

二氟尼柳/水滑石插层组装结构、氢键及水合特性的分子动力学模拟

采用分子动力学方法模拟二氟尼柳插层水滑石(DIF/LDHs)的超分子结构, 研究复合材料主客体间形成的氢键以及水合膨胀特性.结果表明, 当水分子总数与DIF分子总数之比Nw≤3时, 层间距dc保持基本恒定, 约1.80 nm; 当Nw≥4时, 层间距逐渐增大, 且符合dc=1.2611Nw+13.63线性方程. 随着水分子个数增加, 水合能驻UH逐渐增大. 当Nw≤16时, 由于⊿UH<-41.84 kJ·mol-1, LDHs-DIF可以持续吸收水, 从而使材料层间距不断膨胀. 但当Nw≥24时, ⊿UH>-41.84 kJ·mol-1, 此时LDHs-DIF层间不能再进一步水合, 因此LDHs-DIF在水环境中膨胀具有一定的限度. 水滑石层间存在复杂的氢键网络. DIF/LDHs水合过程中, 水分子首先同步与层板和阴离子构成氢键; 当阴离子趋于饱和后, 水分子继续与层板形成氢键, 并逐步发生L-W型氢键取代L-A型氢键, 驱使阴离子向层间中央移动, 与层板发生隔离; 最后水分子在水滑石羟基表面形成有序结构化水层.     

3-Hydroxybenzo[g]quinolones: dyes with red-shifted absorption and highly resolved dual emission

New derivatives of 3-hydroxyquinolone (3HQ) with a fused benzene ring (3-hydroxybenzo[g]quinolones) have been synthesized. They display a remarkable red shift of their absorption spectrum in comparison with other 3HQ analogs allowing their excitation by common He/Cd and Ar-ion lasers. As a result of their irreversible excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) reaction, they display a dual fluorescence in a series of solvents of varying polarities, starting from toluene to methanol. The dual emission of these dyes correlates well with solvent H-bond basicity, which is connected with the effect of this solvent property on the kinetics of the ESIPT reaction. In addition to their red-shifted absorption and fluorescence, these new derivatives show a larger separation of their two emission bands and a more appropriate range of their intensity ratio than the previously synthesized 3HQs. These properties allow an improved ratiometric evaluation of the local H-bond basicity of unknown environments, which will favor future applications of the new dyes in polymer and biological sciences.     

Amide based receptors for anions

This review article illustrates the contribution of amide based receptors to the development of anion complexing agents. Amides are incorporated into a wide variety of systems that can be divided into two broad categories; organic and inorganic. The first section is separated into cyclic and acyclic systems built on a solely organic framework. The second section is comprised of metal containing systems such as metallocenes, [Ru(bipy)₃]²⁺ based complexes, porphyrins and other metallo-based receptors. Where appropriate, the results of solution binding studies and sensing outputs are summarized.

1,2-O-(1-Ethylpropylidene)-α-d-glucofuranose, a low molecular mass organogelator: benzene gel formation and their thermal stabilities

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy has demonstrated that hydrogen bonds are responsible for the aggregation of 1,2-O-(1-ethylpropylidene)-α-d-glucofuranose molecules in solid and benzene gels. The thermal stability of the studied gel is described by its melting temperature T_GS and thermal parameters. The deduced value of the gel-sol transition enthalpy is 50 kJ/mol. Viscosity is the major factor which influences the dynamics of the benzene molecules in the gels, as proved by the relaxation measurements.
