双亲性C60衍生物水相聚集行为

富勒烯C₆₀几乎不溶于水中,从而阻碍了对富勒烯的进一步研究和潜在应用。双亲性C₆₀衍生物在水相中自组装形成聚集体,在水相具有一定的溶解度,其特殊的结构及性能引起了科学家的广泛关注。本文对双亲性C₆₀衍生物在水相中聚集行为的研究现状及研究进展进行了详细系统的介绍。本文第一部分主要阐述了双亲性C₆₀衍生物的结构,根据修饰到C₆₀表面的功能基类型对双亲性C₆₀衍生物进行了分类。第二部分主要阐述了双亲性C₆₀衍生物在水相的聚集行为以及pH值、溶剂极性、浓度、温度和抗衡离子等因素对聚集行为的影响。     

N-甲基-2-(4''-N-乙基咔唑基)-[60]富勒烯吡咯烷及其衍生物的合成, 电荷分离态特征

通过1,3-偶极环加成方法在微波照射下合成了N-甲基-2-(4'-N-乙基咔唑基)-富勒烯吡咯烷(C₆₀-Cz)和N-甲基-2- (4'-N,N-二苯基氨基)-富勒烯吡咯烷(C₆₀-TPA), 用质谱, ¹H NMR, IR等对其结构进行了表征. 用激光光解时间分辨瞬态谱研究了N-甲基-2-(4'-N-乙基咔唑基)-富勒烯吡咯烷的分子内电荷转移过程, 在近红外区观测到了长寿命电荷分离态C₆₀^•--C_Z^•+的存在, 其寿命为0.28 μs. 运用Gaussian 98量子化学程序包, 利用密度泛函的方法对N-甲基-2-(4'-N,N-二苯基氨基)-富勒烯吡咯烷几何构型进行了优化, 并在优化基础上用ZINDO方法计算了化合物C₆₀-TPA的电子光谱, 计算结果表明, 光谱吸收峰在440 nm, 与实验值433 nm基本一致.     

CnBδ(δ=0, ±1; n =1～6)团簇的结构、稳定性和光谱

采用密度泛函理论(DFT)的B3LYP方法,在6-31G*和6-311＋G(3df)水平上对C_nB(n=1～6)团簇及其阴离子和阳离子的几何构型和电子结构进行了优化和振动频率计算.得到了C_nB(n=1～6)团簇的电离能,绝热电子亲合势以及C_nB^δ(δ=0,±1)团簇的能隙.结果表明C_nB^－(n=1～6)团簇的基态构型均为线形,这与等电子的C_n簇合物的结构是一致的; C_nB(n=1～6)团簇的基态构型中,除C₂B为不对称的三角形,C₆B为具有C_2v对称性的环状结构外,其余均为线形结构.阳离子团簇中n=2、3、6的基态结构具有C_2v对称性外,其它几个均为线形结构.从几何参数和振动频率上发现,采用密度泛函B3LYP方法在6-311＋G(3df)和6-31G*两种基组上计算得到的键长参数和振动频率非常接近,说明B3LYP方法在计算C_nB簇合物结构参数上对于基组的选择是不太敏感的.通过对C_nB(n=1～6)的光电子能谱性质的研究发现,C₄B容易获得一个电子形成阴离子团簇,但失去一个电子是很困难的,这与实验上观测到的结果非常吻合.

富勒烯与β淀粉样肽低聚体结合的分子动力学模拟

本文通过分子动力学模拟研究富勒烯在Aβ42 低聚体表面的结合过程. 在结合过程中,C₆₀在Aβ表面经历一系列尝试过程,最终找到某个稳定的结合位点. 根据结合的残基不同,这些结合位点可以分为六类,其中核心疏水区域（CHC）位点（¹⁷LVFFA²¹）及Turn 27-31 位点（²⁷NKGAI³¹）具有最强的结合稳定性. 二者的结合主要通过范德华作用稳定,而溶剂化效应则起相反作用. 在这六类位点中的两个位点,观察到C₆₀会对Aβ二级结构起破坏作用. 其一位于核心疏水区域,C₆₀有挤入多肽β片层中间的趋势;另外一位点位于N端,C₆₀能够破坏外侧Aβ的3-5 号残基的主链氢键,瓦解其末端的β片结构. 这两个过程对理解富勒烯抑制Aβ聚集的微观机制提供了帮助. 此外,在Turn 27-31 位点以及Y10-H14 位点,发现了富勒烯与Aβ纤维样聚集体结合的沟槽滚动机制,即富勒烯能够在淀粉样低聚体表面形成的特定沟槽内滚动. 这一特征有助于预测富勒烯在其它淀粉样多肽表面的结合位点及结合行为.

硬脂酸改性纳米羟基磷灰石表面性能的研究

采用硬脂酸(C₁₇H₃₅COOH)对纳米羟基磷灰石(n-HA)表面进行处理,并研究了n-HA与C₁₇H₃₅COOH的界面作用。透射电子显微镜(TEM)、傅立叶红外光谱(FTIR)以及X光电子能谱(XPS)分析表明,C₁₇H₃₅COOH在n-HA表面黏附,其中羧酸根离子(-COO^-)与钙离子(Ca^2＋)之间形成了稳定的离子键,以羧酸钙形式存在。C₁₇H₃₅COOH改性后的n-HA与聚碳酸酯(PC)复合后,复合材料的力学性能与未改性n-HA相比有明显提高。扫描电子显微镜(SEM)结果显示,经处理后的HA微粒在PC中分散均匀,两者间结合紧密,无明显界面,复合材料的断裂呈明显的韧性断裂,随着n-HA无机粒子含量增加,复合材料的断裂也逐渐向韧性与脆性断裂共存转变。

Preparation and study of hydrides of fullerenes C60 and C70

Fullerene hydrides were prepared by hydrogenation of fullerences C₆₀ and C₇₀ using proton transfer from 9,10-dihydroanthracene to fullerene and were studied by mass spectrometry (electron impact, field desorption), IR, UV, and¹H and¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The main product of the hydrogenation of C₆₀ is C₆₀H₃₆, which is sufficiently stable. Hydrogenation of fullerene C₇₀ gives a series of polyhydrides C₇₀H _n (n=36–46), and the main product is C₇₀H₃₆. The dehydrogenation of C₆₀H₃₆ by 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone is not quantitative and results in the formation of fullerene derivatives along with C₆₀. The comparison of the IR and¹H and¹³C NMR spectral data for solid C₆₀H₃₆ with the theoretical calculations suggests that the fullerene hydride has aT-symmetric structure and contains four isolated benzenoid rings located at tetrahedral positions on the surface of the closed skeleton of the molecule.

Laser flash photolysis of fullerols of C60 and of C70 in aqueous solutions

Fullerols of C₆₀ and of C₇₀ [C₆₀(OH)_n, C₇₀(OH)_m], water-soluble fullerene derivatives, unlike some other fullerene derivatives (such as C₆₀ (C₄H₆O), C₆₀ (C₃H₇N) and C₆₀ [C(COOEt)₂]_x), do not result in excited triplet state but in ionization via monophotonic process in aqueous solutions with 248 nm laser. The quantum yields of formation of hydrated electron (Φ_e ⁻) are determined to be 0.08 and 0.11 for fullerols of C₆₀ and of C₇₀ respectively at room temperature (ca. 15°C) with KI solution used as reference. By laser flash photolysis and oxidation of sulfate radical anion SO₄ ⁻, the fullerol radical cation or neutral radical of C₆₀ is confirmed to be existent and the transient absorption spectra of fullerol radical cation of C₇₀ are observed for the first time.

Electron impact ionization and dissociation of neutral and charged fullerenes

Three different types of electron impact ionization experiments have been performed, involving neutral and charged C₆₀ and C₇₀. 1) We have determined absolute partial ionization cross sections for formation of parent ions C ₆₀ ^z+ and C ₇₀ ^z+ in charge states up to z = 4, and of singly and multiply charged fragments of size n ≥ 44 and n ≥ 50 from C₆₀ and C₇₀ neutral precursors, respectively. 2) Previous appearance energy measurements of C₇₀ have been improved and extended to z = 5; ionization energies are found to depend linearly on the charge state of the precursor, in agreement with theoretical predictions. 3) A beam of mass selected C ₆₀ ²⁺ has been crossed with an intense electron beam; the induced reactions (fragmentation, post- ionization, and dissociative post-ionization) have been analyzed.     

Rydberg electron transfer to C60 and C70

Experimental results are reported for the attachment of Ar* * (nl) Rydberg electrons to C₆₀ and C₇₀ over the range n = 19–270. In agreement with other Rydberg work we find that the rate coefficient for C ₆₀ ^? formation remains large (around 2·10^-8 cm³ s^-1) towards high n and is essentially constant for n > 40, thereby indicating the presence of an s-wave attachment process in contrast to interpretations of free electron attachment data postulating p-wave threshold behaviour. The rate coefficients for C ₇₀ ^? formation show a similar n-dependence as those for C ₆₀ ^? , but they are significantly larger. Possible mechanisms for s-wave attachment including formation of polarization-bound negative ion states are discussed. Regarding the threshold behaviour for the attachment of free electrons to C₆₀ we propose — based on an analysis of available free electron data — the presence of an s-wave (possibly resonance type) contribution near zero energy.     

Investigation of Cycloparaphenylenes (CPPs) and their Noncovalent Ring-in-Ring and Fullerene-in-Ring Complexes by (Matrix-Assisted) Laser Desorption/Ionization and Density Functional Theory

[n]Cycloparaphenylenes ([n]CPPs) with n=5, 8, 10 and 12 and their noncovalent ring-in-ring and [m]fullerene-in-ring complexes with m=60, 70 and 84 have been studied by direct and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization ((MA)LDI) and density-functional theory (DFT). LDI is introduced as a straightforward approach for the sensitive analysis of CPPs, free from unwanted decomposition and without the need of a matrix. The ring-in-ring system of [[10]CPP⊃[5]CPP]^+. was studied in positive-ion MALDI. Fragmentation and DFT indicate that the positive charge is exclusively located on the inner ring, while in [[10]CPP⊃C₆₀]^+. it is located solely on the outer nanohoop. Positive-ion MALDI is introduced as a new sensitive method for analysis of CPP⊃fullerene complexes, enabling the detection of novel complexes [[12]CPP⊃C_{60, 70 and 84}]^+. and [[10]CPP⊃C₈₄]^+.. Selective binding can be observed when mixing one fullerene with two CPPs or vice versa, reflecting ideal size requirements for efficient complex formation. Geometries, binding and fragmentation energies of CPP⊃fullerene complexes from DFT calculations explain the observed fragmentation behavior.     

A Tail Does Not Always Make a Difference: Assembly of cds Nets from Co(NCS)2 and 1,4-bis(n-Alkyloxy)-2,5-bis(3,2′:6′,3″-terpyridin-4′-yl)benzene Ligands

The consistent assembly of a (6⁵.8) cds net is observed in reactions of cobalt(II) thiocyanate with 1,4-bis(n-alkyloxy)-2,5-bis(3,2′:6′,3″-terpyridin-4′-yl)benzene ligands in which the n-alkyloxy substituents are n-propyl (ligand 3), n-butyl (4), n-pentyl (5), n-hexyl (6), n-heptyl (7), and n-octyl (8). Crystals were grown by layering a methanol solution of Co(NCS)₂ over a 1,2-dichlorobenzene solution of each ligand. The choice of crystallization solvents is critical in directing the assembly of the cds net. Single-crystal structures of [Co(NCS)₂(3)]_n^.3.5nC₆H₄Cl₂, [Co(NCS)₂(4)]_n^.5.5nC₆H₄Cl₂, [Co(NCS)₂(5)]_n^.4nC₆H₄Cl₂, [Co(NCS)₂(6)]_n^.3.8nC₆H₄Cl₂, [Co(NCS)₂(7)]_n^.3.1nC₆H₄Cl₂, and [Co(NCS)₂(8)]_n^.1.6nC₆H₄Cl₂^.2nMeOH (C₆H₄Cl₂ = 1,2-dichlorobenzene) are presented and compared. The n-alkyloxy chains exhibit close to extended conformations and are accommodated in cavities in the lattice without perturbation of the coordination framework.     

Photoinduced electron transfer of fullerenes (C60 and C70) studied by transient absorption measurements in near-IR region

Efficiencies and rates of electron transfer from various electron donors to excited fullerenes (C₆₀ and C₇₀) have been determined by observing the transient absorption bands in the near-IR region, where the anion radicals of fullerenes appear. From the rise of the absorption bands of C₆₀ ⁻⁺ and C₇₀ ⁻⁺ in the near-IR region, electron transfer takes place via the triplet states (^TC₆₀ ^* and ^TC₇₀ ^*) under appropriately low concentrations of electron donors. By analysis of the rise curves C₆₀ ⁻⁺ and C₇₀ ⁻⁺, contribution of the excited singlet states (^SC₆₀ ^* and ^SC₇₀ ^*) in addition to the route of the triplet states (^TC₆₀ ^* and ^TC₇₀ ^*) is confirmed. The quantum yield for electron transfer via the triplet states Φ_ct ^T was evaluated by the ratio of [C₆₀ ⁻⁺]/[^TC₆₀ ^*] (or [C₇₀ ⁻⁺/[^TC₇₀ ^*]). The Φ_ct ^T depends upon the donor-ability, donor concentration, and solvent polarity. The back electron-transfer process, which was evaluated by observing C₆₀ ⁻⁺, also depends upon the solvent polarity.     

Structure,Optical, and Magnetic Properties of (PPN+)2(C702−)⋅2 C6H4Cl2, which Contains Dianionic Polymeric (C702−)n Chains

A new salt, (PPN⁺)₂(C₇₀^2?) ? 2 C₆H₄Cl₂ ( 1 ), which contains C₇₀^2? dianions, has been obtained as single crystals (PPN⁺=bis(triphenylphosphine)iminium cation). The C₇₀^2? dianions form polymeric zigzag (C₇₀^2?)_n chains, in which the fullerene units are bonded through single C? C bonds of length 1.581(5)–1.586(6) Å. The distance between the centers of neighboring C₇₀^2? units is 10.441 Å. The optical and magnetic properties of (C₇₀^2?)_n have also been studied. Decreasing the symmetry of C₇₀ in the polymer activate about 20 new IR bands in addition to the 10 IR‐active bands of the starting C₇₀. The polymeric structure shows absorptions in the visible and NIR regions, with three main bands at 890, 1200, and 1550 nm, instead of one band of isolated C₇₀^2? dianions at 1165–1184 nm. We concluded that the (C₇₀^2?)_n polymer was diamagnetic, with a negative molar magnetic susceptibility of ?3.82×10^?4 emu mol^?1 per C₇₀^2? dianion. The polymer is EPR silent and a weak narrow EPR signal in salt 1 is due to impurities, which only constitute 0.84 % of spin S=1/2 of the total amount of fullerene C₇₀.     

Formation of Dianions in Helium Nanodroplets

The formation of dianions in helium nanodroplets is reported for the first time. The fullerene cluster dianions (C₆₀)_n^2? and (C₇₀)_n^2? were observed by mass spectrometry for n≥5 when helium droplets containing the appropriate fullerene were subjected to electron impact at approximately 22 eV. A new mechanism for dianion formation is described, which involves a two‐electron transfer from the metastable He^? ion. As well as the prospect of studying other dianions at low temperature using helium nanodroplets, this work opens up the possibility of a wider investigation of the chemistry of He^?, a new electron‐donating reagent.     

Selective reduction of fullerene C60 by metals in neutral and alkaline media. Interaction of C60 with KOH

The reduction of fullerene C₆₀ by Zn and Mg in DMF was studied both in the presence and absence of KOH. Fullerene C₆₀ was reduced in these systems to form the C₆₀ ^n– (n = 1, 2, and 3) anions. The anions were detected by optical and ESR spectroscopies. It was found that Mg reduced C₆₀ to the monoanion, Mg/KOH and Zn reduced C₆₀ to the dianion, and Zn/KOH reduced C₆₀ to the trianion. Like KCN, potassium hydroxide adds to fullerene upon interaction with C₆₀ in DMF. The reaction of C₆₀ with KOH in benzonitrile was accompanied by the generation of the fullerene monoanion. A possible mechanism of the formation of fullerene monoanions in the presence of KOH is discussed. The degradation of the C₆₀ ^n– anions in air was studied.
