苯并三氮唑对变压器绕组硫腐蚀抑制机理的分子模拟研究

硫腐蚀现象对变压器绝缘性能的破坏不容忽视,其中腐蚀性硫化物与铜绕组作用产生的硫化亚铜是导致绝缘性能降低的一个重要原因.在变压器内部无氧和有氧的情况下,硫化亚铜的生成主要是因为腐蚀性硫化物与铜或者与氧化亚铜发生了一系列反应.为深入研究铜缓蚀剂苯并三氮唑(BTA)对铜绕组的缓蚀机理,采用分子模拟技术分析了BTA分子与铜晶体的电荷密度分布和态密度分布;同时利用过渡态搜索、红外光谱研究了BTA分子与氧化亚铜的反应过程.结果表明:加入BTA分子前后的铜表面态密度分布发生了变化,并且利用电荷密度分布图说明BTA分子与铜晶体形成了配位键;同时分析了BTA与氧化亚铜反应前后红外光谱的差异,发现BTA分子的结构已发生改变,与氧化亚铜形成了共价键.以上模拟结果说明BTA分子对铜和氧化亚铜有保护作用,能够抑制腐蚀性硫化物对铜绕组的腐蚀.     

Nucleophilic Activation of Sulfur Hexafluoride by N-Heterocyclic Carbenes and N-Heterocyclic Olefins: A Computational Study

Sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆) is considered as a potent greenhouse gas, whose effective degradation is challenging. Here we report a computational study on the nucleophilic activation of sulfur hexafluoride by N-heterocyclic carbenes and N-heterocyclic olefins. The result shows that the activation of SF₆ is both thermodynamically and kinetically favorable at mild condition using NHOs with fluoro-substituted azolium and sulfur pentafluoride anion being formed. The Gibbs free energy barrier during the activation of SF₆ has a linear relationship with the energy of HOMO of substrates, which could be a guideline for applying those compounds that feature higher energy in HOMO to activate SF₆ in high efficiency.

Influence of Potassium Metal-Support Interactions on Dendrite Growth

Combined synchrotron X-ray nanotomography imaging, cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and modeling elucidate how potassium (K) metal-support energetics influence electrodeposit microstructure. Three model supports are employed: O-functionalized carbon cloth (potassiophilic, fully-wetted), non-functionalized cloth and Cu foil (potassiophobic, nonwetted). Nanotomography and focused ion beam (cryo-FIB) cross-sections yield complementary three-dimensional (3D) maps of cycled electrodeposits. Electrodeposit on potassiophobic support is a triphasic sponge, with fibrous dendrites covered by solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) and interspersed with nanopores (sub-10 nm to 100 nm scale). Lage cracks and voids are also a key feature. On potassiophilic support, the deposit is dense and pore-free, with uniform surface and SEI morphology. Mesoscale modeling captures the critical role of substrate-metal interaction on K metal film nucleation and growth, as well as the associated stress state.     

Synthesis of Multifluoromethylated γ-Sultines by a Photoinduced Radical Addition–Polar Cyclization

Despite the significance of sultines in synthesis, medicine, and materials science, the chemistry of sultines has remained unexplored due to their inaccessibility. Herein, we demonstrate the development of a photoredox-catalyzed multifluoromethyl radical addition/SO₂ incorporation/polar cyclization cascade approach to multifluoromethylated γ-sultines. The reactions proceed by single electron transfer induced multifluoromethyl radical addition to an alkene followed by SO₂ incorporation, and single-electron reduction for polar 5-exo-tet cyclization. Key to the success of the protocol is the use of easily oxidizable multifluoroalkanesulfinates as bifunctional reagents. The reactions proceed with excellent functional-group tolerance to deliver γ-sultines in moderate to excellent yields.     

Regio- and Z-Selective Alkyne Hydroamination and Hydrophenoxylation using Tetrafluoro-λ6-Sulfanyl Alkynes under Superbasic,Naked Anion Conditions

Alkyne hydroamination is an effective approach for the production of enamines and enamine-containing N-heterocycles. However, stereoselectivity control is a considerable challenge in this reaction because of the electronic repulsion between an incoming nitrogen lone pair and the alkyne π-system. Herein, we propose a methodology involving β-regio- and Z-selective alkyne hydroamination by using tetrafluoro-λ⁶-sulfanyl (SF₄) alkynes under superbasic, naked anion conditions. The reaction is compatible with a wide variety of N-heterocycles, including indoles, carbazoles, pyrazoles, and imidazoles, and selectively furnishes SF₄-linked Z-vinyl enamines with β-regioselectively. Moreover, the method can be extended to the β- and Z-controlled, base-mediated alkyne hydrophenoxylation with phenols to provide SF₄-linked Z-vinyl ethers in high yields. As the SF₄ unit has attracted attention as a bioisostere for alkynes, p-benzenes, bicyclo[1.1.1]pentyl (BCP) groups, and cubanes in medicinal chemistry, this chemistry represents an effective approach to creating novel drug candidates incorporating SF₄-containing molecules.     

Dual recognition strategy for ultra-sensitive fluorescent detection of Hg2+ at femto-molar level based on aptamer functionalized sulfur quantum dots

In the present study, a dual recognition strategy for ultrasensitive detection of Hg²⁺ was successfully developed for the first time based on aptamer functionalized sulfur quantum dots (Apt-SQDs). The developed Apt-SQDs not only retained the good fluorescence properties of quantum dots but also overcame the problem of poor selectivity of SQDs for heavy metal ions. This system used the dual recognition strategy, including the combination of S_x^2? and Hg²⁺ and T-Hg²⁺-T structures to excellently identify and capture Hg²⁺, and an ultrahigh sensitivity fluorescent aptasensor was fabricated. The fluorescent aptasensor had a good response to Hg²⁺ at concentrations ranging of 10^?15 to 10^?7 M with an ultralow limit of detection of 0.3 fM, and the response to other metal ions was far less than that to Hg²⁺. It was successfully applied to detect Hg²⁺ in nearby environmental water samples (tap water, lake water and river water) with a good recovery rate. Moreover, portable test papers that would be useful for Hg²⁺ monitoring in environmental water were designed. The dual recognition strategy not only achieves ultrasensitive fluorescent detection of Hg²⁺ but also provides a new insight into the further expansion of the application of SQDs.     

Surface domain potential difference-mediated efficient charge separation on a defective ZnIn2S4 microsphere photocatalyst

Low-efficiency charge separation in metal sulfides is a major obstacle to realizing high photocatalytic performance. Herein, we propose the concept of a similar surface domain potential difference between adjacent microdomains with and without surface S vacancies on ZnIn₂S₄ to mediate charge separation. Defective ZnIn₂S₄ microspheres (DZISNPs) are prepared through a solvothermal method combined with a low-temperature hydrogenation surface engineering strategy. The as-prepared DZISNPs with a narrowed bandgap of 2.38 eV possess a large specific surface area of 178.5 m² g^?1, a pore size of 6.89 nm, and a pore volume of 0.36 cm³ g^?1, which further improves the visible light absorption. The resultant DZISNPs exhibit excellent visible light activity (2.15 mmol h^?1 g^?1), which is ～two-fold higher than that of the original DZISNP. The experimental results and DFT calculations reveal that the enhanced property can be a result of the surface S vacancy-induced surface domain potential difference, promoting the spatial separation of electrons and holes. Furthermore, the long-term stability of the DZISNPs indicates that the formation of surface S vacancies can inhibit the photocorrosion of ZnIn₂S₄. This strategy provides new insights for fabricating highly efficient and stable sulfide photocatalysts.     

Recent progress in the synthesis of sulfonyl fluorides for SuFEx click chemistry

Since the sulfur(VI) fluoride exchange reaction (SuFEx) was introduced by Sharpless and co-workers in 2014, this new-generation click chemistry has emerged as an efficient and reliable tool for creating modular intermolecular connections. Sulfonyl fluorides, one of the most important sulfur(VI) fluoride species, have attracted enormous attention in diverse fields, ranging from organic synthesis and material science, to chemical biology and drug discovery. This review aims to introduce seminal and recent progresses on the synthetic methods of sulfonyl fluorides, which include aromatic, aliphatic, alkenyl, and alkynyl sulfonyl fluorides. While not meant to be exhaustive, the purpose is to give a timely overview and insight in this field, and stimulate the development of more efficient synthetic methods of sulfonyl fluorides.
