Radical Heteroarylalkylation of Alkenes via Three‐Component Docking‐Migration Thioetherification Cascade

A novel, rational‐designed approach to access various heteroaryl‐substituted alkyl thioethers was developed via docking‐migration cascade process. By utilizing three components involving alkene, dual‐function reagent, and thioetherificating reagent, radical heteroarylalkylation of alkenes followed by thiolation of the alkyl radical intermediates proceeded smoothly, manifesting well compatibility of substrates and cascade transformations. Furthermore, this protocol also features mild conditions, broad substrate scope, and wide product diversity.     

Study on the Interaction and Properties of Cucurbit[8]uril with Oroxin B

The interaction between cucurbit[8]uril(Q[8]) and oroxin B(ORB) was investigated by UV-visible(UV-Vis) spectroscopy, isothermal titration calorimetry(ITC), mass spectrum(MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) spectroscopy. The results showed that ORB formed a 2:1 inclusion complex with Q[8] with a binding constant of 8.266×10⁵ L²·mol^-2. ORB had good scavenging ability for 2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonate)(ABTS) free radicals(IC₅₀=5.74 μmol/L) and the addition of Q[8] did not significantly affect the antioxidant activity of ORB(IC₅₀=5.76 μmol/L). A phase solubility experiment revealed a 1.86-fold increase in the solubility of ORB when c(Q[8])=100 μmol/L. In vitro drug release experiments showed that the release rate for ORB@Q[8] complex was lower than that of ORB in artificial intestinal juice, and higher than that of ORB in artificial gastric juice.

FeCoCrCuNi高熵合金裂纹及孔洞结构力学与微观构象演化机理的分子动力学模拟研究

本文采用分子动力学方法研究了FeCoCrCuNi高熵合金裂纹及孔洞模型结构在不同轴向拉伸应变速率下的力学与微观结构演化机理. 结果表明：应变速率越高FeCoCrCuNi裂纹结构对应更高的过冲应变和过冲应力，其主要原因是高拉伸速率会导致高强度的BCC结构及孪晶结构的生成，而BCC结构及孪晶结构的产生进而会抑制应力的下降，通过应力-应变曲线，可知FeCoCrCuNi裂纹模型在轴向应力作用下表现为塑性形变. 对于不同尺寸的孔洞FeCoCrCuNi裂纹模型的应力模拟与结构分析，可以得出：孔洞尺寸越大, FeCoCrCuNi裂纹结构对应的过冲应变和过冲应力越小，其主要原因是大尺寸的孔洞造成孔洞之间产生裂纹的，进而会影响这个材料的屈服应变和屈服强度.     

Solidifying framework nucleic acids

正Living organisms have developed their unique strategies during the natural evolution for building hard tissues with minerals, including silica, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, and ferric oxide [1]. Such biomineralized materials generally have complex hierarchical structures with excellent mechanical properties. Although bioinspired approaches have led to the creation of well-defined synthetic structural materials ranging from micro to macro scales, the rational design of discrete biomimetic structures at the nanoscale remains a grand challenge.     

Effects of multiple delays on dynamics of a five-neuron network model

A five-neuron network model with multiple delays is proposed. This paper presents the combined effect of different delays on the dynamics of the proposed network. Pitchfork bifurcation is discussed in detail with the variation of the value of coupled weight or attenuation rate of internal neurons. By analyzing the corresponding characteristic equation, some stable criteria on delay-dependence and delay-independence are derived including multiple delays and coupled weights and the periodic oscillation arises bifurcated from the trivial equilibrium after the network loses its stability. Stable regions on delay-dependence are displayed in the two delayed parameter plane. It is shown that multiple delays can produce stability switching between resting state and periodic activity. Finally, theoretical results are justified by providing two illustrative examples.     

Infinitely many reducts of homogeneous structures

It is shown that the countably infinite dimensional pointed vector space (the vector space equipped with a constant) over a finite field has infinitely many first order definable reducts. This implies that the countable homogeneous Boolean-algebra has infinitely many reducts.
