Mg-catalyzed one-pot preparation of benzimidazoles and spirooxindoles by an immobilized chlorophyll b on magnetic nanoparticles

Chlorophyll b was extracted from Heliotropium europaeum plant, then immobilized on magnetic nanoparticles (Fe₃O₄@SiO₂@Chl-Mg) and found as an efficient and green catalyst for the preparation of a variety of benzimidazoles and spirooxindoles in mild conditions. The catalyst was fully characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), thermogravimetric (TGA), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and dynamic light scattering (DLS) analyses. To prove the catalytic influence of Mg over the reactions, the catalytic activity of the demetalated chlorophyll b as well as some other control experiments was investigated. High to excellent yields were achieved for all entries, whether benzimidazole or spirooxindole derivatives at short reaction times. The catalyst could be recovered and reused for several consecutive runs by a simple external magnetic field without any considerable reactivity loss. The properties of the recovered catalyst were investigated by various analyses. Finally, the reasonable mechanisms were proposed for the reactions based on the literature.     

Synthesis and characterization of molybdenum (VI) complex immobilized on polymeric Schiff base-coated magnetic nanoparticles as an efficient and retrievable nanocatalyst in olefin epoxidation reactions

In this study, a new polymeric functionalized magnetic nanocatalyst containing a molybdenum Schiff base complex was prepared using a few consecutive steps. Poly (methylacrylate)-coated magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized via radical polymerization of methyl acrylate onto modified magnetic nanoparticles followed by the amidation of the methyl ester groups with hydrazine. Polymeric functionalization efficiently provides the advantage that more catalytic units can be grafted on the surface of magnetic nanoparticles. The functionalization process was continued with salicylaldehyde which introduced Schiff base groups on to the surface of the polymeric support. In the final step, the desired catalytic system was prepared via complexation of the Schiff base groups with MoO₂(acac)₂. The resulting nanoparticles were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, elemental analysis, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry, vibrating sample magnetometry and thermogravimetric analysis. This heterogenized catalytic system was also found to be highly active, sustainable and recyclable nanocatalyst in alkene epoxidation. Eventually, the attractive features of the synthesized catalyst such as simple work-up, good stability, magnetic separation, high TOF and high surface area; make it appropriate for oxidation reactions.     

Gorenstein平坦模与Frobenius扩张

设R■A是环的Frobenius扩张,其中A是右凝聚环,M是任意左A-模.首先证明了_AM是Gorenstein平坦模当且仅当M作为左R-模也是Gorenstein平坦模.其次,证明了Nakayama和Tsuzuku关于平坦维数沿着Frobenius扩张的传递性定理的"Gorenstein版本":若_AM具有有限Gorenstein平坦维数,则Gfd_A(M)=Gfd_R(M).此外,证明了若R■S是可分Frobenius扩张,则任意A-模(不一定具有有限Gorenstein平坦维数),其Gorenstein平坦维数沿着该环扩张是不变的.     

Interplay of Hückel and Möbius Aromaticity in Metal-Metal Quintuple Bonded Complexes of Cr,Mo, and W with Amidinate Ligand: Ab initio DFT and Multireference Analysis**

The aromaticity of metal-metal quintuple bonded complexes of the type M₂L₂ (M=Cr, Mo, and W; L=amidinate) are studied employing gauge including magnetically induced ring current (GIMIC) analysis and electron density of delocalized bonds (EDDB). It is found that the complexes possess two types of aromaticity: i) Hückel aromaticity through delocalization of ligand π electrons with metal-metal δ-bond-forming 6 conjugated electrons (4π and 2δ) ring; ii) Craig-Möbius aromaticity through delocalization of π electrons of both the ligands with metal d-orbitals in Craig type orientation forming 10π electrons ring with a double twist. Extended transition state natural orbital chemical valence (ETS-NOCV) and canonical molecular orbital natural chemical shielding (CMO-NCS) analysis confirm the Craig-Möbius type arrangement of the orbitals. Furthermore, the unprecedented Hückel and Möbius type aromaticity is confirmed from the plot of the current pathways using 3D line integral convolution (3D-LIC) plots. The metal-metal bond order also increases down the group as justified from the complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) analysis. Due to an increase in the π and δ electron conjugation, both the Hückel and Möbius aromaticity increase down the group.

A note on monolithic scattered compacta

For a Banach space E, it is well-known that a necessary condition for E to have the controlled separable complementation property (CSCP  , for short) is that the dual unit ball _BE?$B_{E^{?}}$ be monolithic in the weak-star topology. We prove here that when X is a scattered first countable locally compact space, then monolithicity of X   turns out to be sufficient for _C0(X)$C_0(X)$ to enjoy the CSCP.     

Fe3O4 – Glutathione stabilized Ag nanoparticles: A new magnetically separable robust and facile catalyst for aqueous phase reduction of nitroarenes

The heterostructured Ag nanoparticles decorated Fe₃O₄ Glutathione (Fe₃O₄‐Glu‐Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by sonicating glutathione (Glu) with magnetite and further surface immobilization of silver NPs on it. The ensuing magnetic nano catalyst is well characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), powder X‐ray diffraction (PXRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The prepared Fe₃O₄‐Glu‐Ag nanoparticles have proved to be an efficient and recyclable nanocatalyst with low catalyst loading for the reduction of nitroarenes and heteronitroarenes to respective amines in the presence of NaBH₄ using water as a green solvent which could be easily separated at the end of a reaction using an external magnet and can be recycled up to 5 runs without any significant loss in catalytic activity. Gram scale study for the reduction of 4‐NP has also being carried out successfully and it has been observed that this method can serve as an efficient protocol for reduction of nitroarenes on industrial level.
