Supramolecular optical sensor arrays for on-site analytical devices

Supramolecular optical chemosensors are useful tools in analytical chemistry for the visualization of molecular recognition information. One advantage is that they can be utilized for array systems to detect multiple analytes. However, chemosensor arrays have been evaluated mainly in the solution phase, which limits a wide range of practical applications. Thus, appropriate solid support materials such as polymer gels and papers are required to broaden the scope of the application of chemosensors as on-site analytical tools. In this review, we summarize the actual approaches for the fabrication of solid-state chemosensor arrays combined with powerful data processing techniques and portable digital recorders for real-world applications.     

苯/二联苯为桥的噻吩-吡咯-噻吩结构:分子构型及电致变色性质

A series of multi-branched dithienylpyrrole (SNS) monomers with rigid phenyl (PhSNS) and biphenyl rings (BPhSNS) as bridges were designed and synthesized, and were fabricated to form cross-linked polymers (pPhSNS, pBPhSNS) by electrochemical polymerization. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) results showed that PhSNS and BPhSNS exhibited similar oxidative properties except for one new higher-potential oxidative peak appearing in the curves of PhSNS. Theoretical calculations indicated that it should be attributed to the different steric configuration between the two dithienylpyrrole (SNS) units in PhSNS. One SNS unit possessed a larger twist angle (40.2°) between thiophene and pyrrole rings than the other one (21.2°), which indicated that PhSNS possessed a relatively larger energy gap (~0.4 eV) between HOMO-1 and HOMO than BPhSNS, for which HOMO and HOMO-1 levels were of almost the same energy. However, both PhSNS and BPhSNS showed similar onset oxidation potentials. The CV curves of pPhSNS and pBPhSNS showed that they presented similar oxidative properties, which enabled their corresponding electrochemical polymers to exhibit similar electrochromic properties. The UV-vis spectra of the corresponding polymers showed that both pPhSNS and pBPhSNS possessed similar optical absorption and similar multicolor switching between yellow (-0.8 V), greyish-green (0.9 V) and gray (1.1 V) colors. Besides, pPhSNS and pBPhSNS showed fast switching times of 0.57 s and 0.93 s at 1100 nm, respectively and reasonable contrasts of 46% and 31% at 1100 nm, respectively. These investigations may help understand the relationship between structural configuration and the electrochemistry/electrochromic properties for polymer electrochromic (PEC) materials research.

A series of C₂-symmetric and asymmetric chiral thiourea derivatives were synthesized from commercial L-phenylalanine.All of the new compounds have been fully characterized by IR,¹H NMR,¹³C NMR,MS spectra and elemental analyses.The chiral thioureas were used as chiral ligands in the catalytic enantioselective ethylation of aldehydes with diethylzinc,the corresponding sec-alcohols were gained with excellent enantioselectivities（up to 87.1%ee） and high yields（up to 76.7%） after the conditions were optimized.     

High selectively oxidative bromination of toluene derivatives by the H_2O_2-HBr system

An aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide and hydrogen bromide illuminated by a 60 W incandescent light bulb serves as a source of bromine radicals.Various substituted toluenes（NO₂,Cl,Br,H,CH₃） were high selectively brominated at the benzyl position for monobromination in CH₂C1₂ at ice water with catalyst free.This simple but effective bromination of toluene derivatives with an aqueous H₂O₂-HBr system is characterized with the use of inexpensive reagents and a lower impact on the environment, which make it a good alternative to the existing bromination methods.

用于选择性合成清洁液体燃料的钴基F-T合成催化剂*

在传统F-T合成（Fischer-Tropsch synthesis）中,烃类产物受到Anderson-Schulz-Flory (ASF)方程的控制,这使得烃类产物分布宽,不具有选择性。因此,如何突破ASF产物分布控制,实现以合成气为原料,高选择性合成特定碳数范围内的烃类产品是F-T合成研究领域中的前沿和热点之一。本文以钴基负载型催化剂的活性中心和载体孔结构与F-T合成产物分布之间的关联为探讨重点,综述了这一领域的最新研究成果。

Selective hydrogenation of o-chloronitrobenzene (o-CNB) over supported Pt and Pd catalysts obtained by laser vaporization deposition of bulk metals

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), γ-alumina (γ-Al₂O₃) and silica (SiO₂) supported Pt and Pd catalysts were produced by laser vaporization deposition of respective bulk metals. The catalysts were characterized by inductive coupled plasma emission spectrometer (ICP), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The catalytic properties of the catalysts were investigated in the liquid phase hydrogenation of o-chloronitrobenzene (o-CNB) to o-chloroaniline (o-CAN) under 333 K and 1.0 MPa hydrogen pressure. The results show that the catalytic properties are greatly affected by the supports. Pt/CNTs catalyst exhibits the best catalytic performance among the Pt-based catalysts, producing o-CAN with 99.6% selectivity at complete conversion. Pd/CNTs catalyst exhibits the best catalytic performance among the Pd-based catalysts, giving o-CAN with 95.2% selectivity at complete conversion. For Pt-based catalysts, geometric effect and the textures and properties of the supports play important roles on catalytic properties. On the other hand, geometric effect, electronic effect and the textures and properties of the supports simultaneously influence the catalytic properties of the Pd-based catalysts. In addition, hydrogenolysis of the C–Cl bond can be well inhibited over all catalysts prepared by laser vaporization deposition.
