Fe2(SO4)3·xH2O-catalyzed per-O-acetylation of sugars compatible with acid-labile protecting groups adopted in carbohydrate chemistry

Fully acetylated saccharides are inexpensive and very useful starting materials for the synthesis of many naturally occurring glycosides, oligosaccharides, and glycoconjugates. Ferric sulfate hydrate (Fe₂(SO₄)₃·xH₂O) was found to be a valuable Lewis acid promoter in the per-O-acetylation reaction of saccharides with acetic anhydride in 100% of conversion rate and 88-99% yields. Interestingly, the procedure is perfectly compatible with the presence of a variety of acid-labile protecting groups, such as isopropylidene, benzylidene, trityl, and TBDMS groups. The reactions were simply performed by stirring the mixture of a sugar with a slight excessive acetic anhydride in the presence of 2.0 mol % of Fe₂(SO₄)₃·xH₂O at rt and the pure products were obtained by a simple dilution of the reaction mixture with dichloromethane and washings with aqueous Na₂CO₃.

Raman scattering investigations on lanthanum-doped Bi4Ti3O12-SrBi4Ti4O15 intergrowth ferroelectrics

The ferroelectric ceramics of Bi₄Ti₃O₁₂, SrBi₄Ti₄O₁₅, and lanthanum-doped Bi₄Ti₃O₁₂-SrBi₄Ti₄O₁₅ were synthesized, and their Raman spectra were investigated. La-doping resulted in the enlargement of remnant polarization of Bi₄Ti₃O₁₂-SrBi₄Ti₄O₁₅. The structure of the Bi₂O₂ layers and TiO₆ octahedra of the intergrowth was found to be different from those of Bi₄Ti₃O₁₂ and SrBi₄Ti₄O₁₅. La³⁺ ions exhibit pronounced selectivity for the occupation of A site as La content is lower than 0.50, and tend to be incorporated into Bi₂O₂ layers when the La content is higher than 0.50. Lanthanum substitution brings about the structural phase transition in Bi₄Ti₃O₁₂-SrBi₄Ti₄O₁₅. The variation of ferroelectric property may be attributed to combined contribution from the decreasing of the oxygen vacancies, the relaxation of the lattice distortion, the destroying of the insulation and the space charge compensation effects of the Bi₂O₂ slabs.

Singlet-triplet energy separations in divalent five-membered cyclic conjugated C5H3X, C4H3SiX, C4H3GeX, C4H3SnX, and C4H3PbX (X = H, F, Cl, and Br)

Singlet-triplet energy gaps in cyclopenta-2,4-dienylidene, as well as its 2- or 3-halogenated derivatives, are compared and contrasted with their sila, germa, stana, and plumba analogues; at HF/6-31G* and B3LYP/ 6-311++G(3df, 2p) levels of theory. Energy gaps (ΔG_t-s), between triplet (t) and singlet (s) states, appear linearly proportional to: (i) the size of the group 14 divalent element (M = C, Si, Ge, Sn and Pb), (ii) the angle ∠C-M-C, and (iii) the ΔG_(LUMO-HOMO) of the singlet state involved. The magnitude of ΔG_t-s, for each 2- and/or 3-substituted species studied, increases with an order of: carbenes < silylenes < germylenes < stanylenes < plumbylenes. This order reverses for the barriers of the ring puckering. The puckering occurs with more ease for every singlet, compared to its corresponding triplet form.Regardless of the group 14 element (M) employed, every 3-halo-substituted species is more stable than the corresponding 2-halo-substituted isomer. For M = Pb, Sn and/or Ge; 3-halo-substituted species have higher ΔG_t-s than their corresponding 2-halo-substituted analogues. For M = Si, similar ΔG_t-s are found for 2- and 3-halogenated isomers. For M = C, 3-halo-substituted species have lower ΔG_t-s than their corresponding 2-halo-substituted analogues.Every cyclic singlet has a larger ∠C-M-C angle, than its corresponding cyclic triplet state, except for 3-halosilacyclopenta-2,4-dienylidenes where triplet has a larger ∠C-M-C angle than its corresponding singlet state.

The mechanism for doping material was also discussed.

Temperature behavior of the protonic conductor K4LiH3(SO4)4

The results of the X-ray structural study for the K₄LiH₃(SO₄)₄ single crystal are presented at a wide temperature range. The thermal expansion of the crystal using the X-ray dilatometry and the capacitance dilatometry from 8 to 500 K was carried out. The crystal structures data collection, solution and refinement at 125, 295, 443 and 480 K were performed. The K₄LiH₃(SO₄)₄ crystal has tetragonal symmetry with the P4₁ space group (Z=4) at room temperature as well as at the considered temperature range. The existence of a low-temperature, para-ferroelastic phase transition at about 120 K is excluded. The layered structure of the crystal reflects a cleavage plane parallel to (001) and an anisotropy of the protonic conductivity. The superionic high-temperature phase transition at T_S=425 K is isostructural. Nevertheless, taking into account an increase of the SO₄ tetrahedra libration above T_S, a mechanism of the Grotthus type could be applied for the proton transport explanation.
