Structures and Absolute Configurations of Three 7,8‐Secolabdane Diterpenes from the Chinese Liverwort Pallavicinia ambigua

The known 7,8‐secolabdane type diterpenoids neopallavicinin ( 1 ), pallavicinin ( 2 ), and 18‐hydroxypallavicinin ( 3 ) were isolated from Pallavicinia ambigua, and their structures were determined. The X‐ray crystal structure of 1 was solved, and, in combination with CD and NMR studies, the absolute configurations of 1 – 3 were established. A possible biogenetic pathway for 1 and 2 from a single labdane precursor is proposed.     

两性聚氨酯纳米水分散液的制备和性质

制备出了分子链上同时带有酸、碱基团的两性聚氨酯（APU），该两性聚氨酯在酸碱介质中均能形成稳定的纳米水分散液。同时还测定了APU的等电点和水分散液中APU分子链上可离子化基团的含量；实验结果还表明：中和剂浓度对两性聚氨酯纳米水分散液的粒径及稳定性有很大的影响。     

Si doping effect on self-organized InAs/GaAs quantum dots

In situ ultra high vacuum scanning probe microscopy (SPM) and low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) studies have been performed on Si-doped self-organized InAs/GaAs quantum dots samples to investigate the Si doping effects. Remarkably, when Si is doped in the sample, according to the SPM images, more small dots are formed when compared with images from undoped samples. On the PL spectra, high-energy band tail which correspond to the small dots appear, with increasing doping concentration, the integral intensity of the high-energy band tail account for the whole peak increase too. We relate this phenomenon to a model that takes the Si atom as the nucleation center for QDs formation.     

First Total Synthesis of 5_α-Hydroxy-isopterocarpolone

Sesquiterpenic compounds of the Eudesmane family have attracted considerable attention due to their intriguing biological properties1,2, particularly significant antifeedant activity, cell growth inhibitory and plant growth regulating activities.In 1996, J. Hu and co-workers3 had isolated eudesmane sesquiterpene 5?-hydroxy-isopterocarpolone 1 from the aerial parts of chinese folk medicine Artemisia eriopoda and elucidated its structure by spectropic methods. Herein, we reported the first tota…     

1,1′‐[(Ethane‐1,2‐diyldioxy)di‐o‐phenylene]bis(indoline‐2,3‐dione) (L) and a novel [Ag2L2]2+ metallocycle based on coordination‐driven Ag—O and Ag—π bonds

1,1′‐[(Ethane‐1,2‐diyldioxy)di‐o‐phenylene]bis(indoline‐2,3‐dione), C₃₂H₂₄N₂O₆, L or (I), adopts a trans conformation with the two terminal indoline‐2,3‐dione groups located on opposite sides of the central ether bridge, as required by a centre of inversion located at the mid‐point of the ethane C—C bond. However, in the discrete binuclear Ag^I metallocycle complex salt bis{μ‐1,1′‐[(ethane‐1,2‐diyldioxy)di‐o‐phenylene]bis(indoline‐2,3‐dione)}disilver(I) bis(hexafluoridoantimonate), [Ag₂(C₃₂H₂₄N₂O₆)₂][SbF₆]₂, (II), synthesized by combination of L with AgSbF₆, L adopts a gauche conformation to bind Ag^Ivia the two indolinedione O atoms and two C atoms from the phenoxy ring. One dione O atom from the opposite side of the ether bridge completes the irregular coordination environment of each Ag^I atom. The complex is on a centre of inversion located between the Ag^I atoms. In the solid state, these binuclear [Ag₂L₂]²⁺ metallocycles stack together via intermolecular π–π interactions to generate a one‐dimensional chain motif, with the [SbF₆]⁻ counter‐ions, which are disordered, located between the chains.
