In-situ SiN combined with etch-stop barrier structure for high-frequency AlGaN/GaN HEMT

The etch-stop structure including the in-situ SiN and AlGaN/GaN barrier is proposed for high frequency applications.The etch-stop process is realized by placing an in-situ SiN layer on the top of the thin AlGaN barrier.F-based etching can be self-terminated after removing SiN,leaving the AlGaN barrier in the gate region.With this in-situ SiN and thin barrier etch-stop structure,the short channel effect can be suppressed,meanwhile achieving highly precisely controlled and low damage etching process.The device shows a maximum drain current of 1022 mA/mm,a peak transconductance of 459 mS/mm,and a maximum oscillation frequency(fmax)of 248 GHz.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of 5,6,7-trimethoxy- 1- benzylidene-3,4-dihydro-naphthalen-2-one as tubulinpolymerization inhibitors

A series of new combretastatin-A4 analogs were synthesized, in which a six-membered ring connects the linking bridge and A ring, and their tumor cell growth and tubulin-polymerization inhibitory activity were evaluated. These compounds appear to be potential tubulin-polymerization inhibitors. Compounds 1b with amino substituted on position 3 of B ring conferred optimal bioactivity, higher than that of the lead compound 22b and equivalent to that of CA-4. The binding modes of these compounds to tubulin were obtained by molecular docking, which can explain the structure-activity relationship. The studies presented here provide a new structural type for the development of novel antitumor agents.

Synthesis of Lewis a and Lewis X Pentasaccharides Based on N-Trichloroethoxycarbonyl Protection 1

Abstract

Thexyldimethylsilyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-2-deoxy-2-trichloroethoxycarbonylamino-β-D- glucopyranoside (4), having the 3-hydroxy group unprotected, is a versatile starting material for the synthesis of glucosamine containing oligosaccharides. Thus, reaction with galactosyl donor 5 or fucosyl donor 6 afforded the desired β(1-3)- and α(1-3)-linked disaccharides 7 and 8, respectively, in high yields. Reductive opening of the benzylidene moieties in 7 and 8 gave access to the 4-hydroxy groups in 9 and 10. Ensuing fucosylation of 9 or galactosylation of 10 led to Lewis A (Le^a) and Lewis X (Le^x) trisaccharide building blocks 13 and 14, respectively. Their transformation into glycosyl donors 19 and 20 and subsequent reaction with 3b-O-unprotected lactose derivative 23 as acceptor furnished the Le^a? and Le^x pentasaccharide precursors 24 and 25. Exchange of the N-trichloroethoxycarbonyl group for an N-acetyl group and removal of the O-benzyl and O-acetyl protective groups afforded the desired Le^a? and Le^x? pentasaccharides 1 and 2.

     

Effect of yttrium on the formation of nanostructured mesoporous CeO<Subscript>2</Subscript>

Mesoporous CeO₂ and yttrium doped CeO₂ (YDC) were prepared by a sol–gel process and characterized by a variety of techniques. XRD patterns showed that the undoped and doped samples had a cubic fluorite structure. The grain size decreased from 24.8 to 6.1 nm at 500 °C for pure CeO₂ and YDC, respectively. N₂ adsorption–desorption isotherms showed that the samples possessed typical mesopore characteristics. The BET specific surface area of the samples increased from 23.04 to 151.49 m²/g for 300 °C calcination after mesoporous CeO₂ was doped with Y. It is found that the introduction of Y can inhibit the grain growth, and the presence of the pores also can be related to this obstacle to grain growth. These results are of great significance for the control of porous microstructure, crystallinity, and applications for the development of nanostructured mesoporous materials.     

Two types of rare earth–organic frameworks constructed by racemic tartaric acid

Hydrothermal reactions of rare earth oxides with racemic tartaric acid (H₂tar) yielded 7 rare earth(III) MOFs with general formulas [R₂(tar)₃(H₂O)₂]_n (R=Y (1), Sm (4), Eu (5), Tb (6), Dy (7)) and [R₂(tar)₂(C₂O₄)(H₂O)₂]_n·4nH₂O (R=La (2), Nd (3)). X-ray powder diffraction analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveal that they present two different structural types. MOFs 1, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are isostructural and crystallize in the orthorhombic non-centrosymmetric space group Iba2, and feature unusual fsc-3,4-Iba2 topology. MOFs 2 and 3 are isostructural and crystallize in monoclinic P2₁/c space group and display rare fsx-4,5-P2₁/c topology containing hydrophilic channels bounded by triple helical chains along a axis. MOFs 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 exhibit intense lanthanide characteristic photoluminescence at room temperature.     

Easy Chemo-Enzymatic Synthesis of Human Milk Trisaccharides from a Common Selectively Protected Lactose Building Block

ABSTRACT

Three glycosyllactosides, contained in the neutral fraction of human milk oligosaccharides, were synthesised in a simple and straightforward manner through a sequence based on a chemo-enzymatic approach. Lipase catalysed regioselective 6'-O-acylation of benzyl β-lactoside, followed by the introduction of an isopropylidene group and acetylation afforded, depending on the reaction conditions, compounds 4a and 4b, which allow selective access to positions 3, 3' and 6'. Glycosylation with proper donors gave trisaccharides 6, 9 and 12.
