分子结构设计是开发新化合物和通过原子尺度操纵优化晶体结构的一种引人注目的策略. 在这个工作中, 利用分子工程的思想, 基于SBBO结构, 成功设计并合成两个新型氟碳酸盐KMgLi₂(CO₃)₂F和RbMgLi₂(CO₃)₂F. 在两个结构中, a-b平面是由CO₃和LiO₃F阴离子基团组成的无限[Li₃C₃O₆F₃]_∞层, 进一步相邻的层通过F原子连接形成一个独特的[Li₆C₆O₁₂F₃]_∞双层. 这种结构特征对改善晶体的层状生长习性和消除晶体的多晶性有很大的帮助. 光学测试表明, 该系列晶体具有大的双折射和短的紫外截止边, 是深紫外双折射晶体良好的候选材料.     

Reversible and Stepwise Single-Crystal-to-Single-Crystal Transformation of a Platinum(II) Complex with Vapochromic Luminescence

The vapochromic single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) transformation of a highly luminescent Pt^II complex bearing an N-heterocyclic carbene [Pt(CN)₂(tBu-impy)] (tBu-impyH⁺=1-tert-butyl-3-(2-pyridyl)-1H-imidazolium) is reported. The trihydrate form of the complex, which exhibits blue ³MMLCT emission owing to weak Pt⋅⋅⋅Pt interactions, changed its luminescence color from blue to yellowish-green upon the desorption of water molecules while keeping the high emission quantum yield of more than 0.45. Variable-temperature and continuous in-situ tracking of single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurements revealed that the SCSC transformation proceeds reversibly by the release and reabsorption of water molecules, thereby changing the stacked structure slightly. As a result, the dynamics of vapor-induced SCSC transformation were elucidated: that the anhydrous form returned to the original trihydrate form in a two-step process under a water vapor atmosphere. In addition, the Pt^II complex exhibited a similar SCSC response accompanied by a luminescence color change in the presence of methanol vapor, while being inactive toward ethanol vapor.     

Synthesis and crystal structures of novel glycoluril carboxylic acids conglomerates

The two novel conglomerates were obtained by crystallization of racemic (2'S,3aS,6aR)/(2'R,3aR,6aS) (glycoluril-1-yl)-3-methylbutanoic acid and (2'R,3aR,6aR)/(2'S,3aS,6aS) (4,6-dimethylglycoluril-1-yl)pentanoic acid synthesized by highly diastereoselective condensation of 4,5-dihydroxy- imidazolidin-2-ones with racemic ureido acids. The differences in the molecular geometry of synthesized racemates were studied by X-ray diffraction that showed them to crystallize as conglomerates in non-centrosymmetric space groups Pna2₁ and P2₁2₁2₁, respectively     

Hybrid cyclotriphosphazene–polysiloxane–nano-SiO2 composites with improved mechanical properties

Starting from the functional cyclotriphosphazene, polysiloxane and nano-SiO₂ precursors, three new hybrid nanocomposites with reinforced mechanical properties were prepared. Young’s modulus values for all the composite samples are similar in the range of 7–11 MPa, stress at fracture increases with the nano-SiO₂ content increase in the material and reaches a maximum value of 36 MPa for the composite with 20% nano-SiO₂. The nanocomposites investigated are elastic and demonstrate the ability to be deformed without failure up to 54% strain.     

On the metabolites produced by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides a fungus proposed for the Ambrosia artemisiifolia biocontrol; spectroscopic data and absolute configuration assignment of colletochlorin A

Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. is responsible for serious allergies induced on humans. Different approaches for its control were proposed during the COST Action FA1203 “Sustainable management of Ambrosia artemisiifolia in Europe” (SMARTER). Fungal secondary metabolites often show potential herbicidal activity. Three phytotoxins were purified from the fungal culture filtrates of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, isolated from infected leaves of A. artemisiifolia. They were identified by spectroscopic and chemical methods as colletochlorin A, orcinol and tyrosol (1, 2 and 3). The absolute configuration 6’R to colletochlorin A was assigned for the first time applying the advanced Mosher’s method. When assayed by leaf-puncture on A. artemisiifolia only 1 caused the appearance of large necrosis. The same symptoms were also induced by 1 on ambrosia plantlets associated with plant wilting. On Lemna minor, colletochlorin A caused a clear fronds browning, with a total reduction in chlorophyll content.     

二维CdO的低晶格热导率研究

寻求具有较小晶格热导率k_lat的高热电性能的二维材料具有重要意义。基于从头计算和声子玻耳兹曼输运理论,该研究首先对二维CdO结构进行优化,并通过计算声子谱验证了单层CdO的动力学稳定性。在此基础上详细研究了单层CdO的声子输运性质。计算表明在室温下单层CdO的晶格热导率k_lat约为5.7 W/(m·K),低于单层石墨烯、磷烯、黑磷和MoS₂等二维材料的晶格热导率。其中,Z方向声学模式(Z-direction acoustic, ZA),横声学支(transverse acoustic,TA),纵声学支(longitudinal acoustic, LA),Z方向光学模式(Z-direction optical, ZO),横光学支(transverse optical, TO),纵光学支(longitudinal optical, LO)对k_lat的百分比贡献分别为73.7％、13.9％、3.7％、2.8％、4.7％和1.2％。研究发现,ZA、TA、LA声学支和光学支之间的强散射是导致单层CdO低热导率的原因。本文计算结果可用于指导基于CdO的低维热电器件的设计。

Study of nucleon-nucleon and alphanucleon elastic scattering by the Manning-Rosen potential

Although often used in molecular dynamics, in this work the Manning–Rosen potential is parameterized to compute the scattering phase shifts for the nucleon–nucleon and the alpha-nucleon systems by exploiting the standard phase function method. We obtain excellent agreement in phase shifts with the more sophisticated calculations up to partial waves ${\ell }=2.$
