Theoretical study on tetranuclear boron clusters: B4X4 (X = H, F, Cl, Br, I)

The molecular orbitals for B4H4, B4F4, B4Cl4, B4Br4 and B4I4 have been calculated by using all-electron or effective core potential ab initio method at the self-consistent field level using basis sets with diffuse and polarization functions. The boron-boron and boron-halide (-hydrogen) distances of these cage compounds are optimized with three kinds of basis sets constrained to a tetrahedral symmetry. According to the localization scheme of Boys, four three-centered two-electron (3c2e) B-B-B bonds localized on each of the faces of the B4 tetrahedron are derived for B4X4 clusters. The HOMO-LUMO energy gaps, atomization energies and Mulliken overlap populations of these compounds indicate that the stabilities of the clusters decrease in the sequence of B4F4 > B4Cl4, B4H4 > B4Br4 > B4I4.     

2',3'-二脱氧-2',3'-二去氢鸟嘌呤核苷构象稳定性的理论研究

采用密度泛函方法在B3LYP/6-31＋G**水平上研究了2',3'-二脱氧-2',3'-二去氢鸟嘌呤核苷分子(D4G)的构象. 分别研究在气相中的孤立分子和一水合物异构体的相对稳定性和异构体之间的相互转变过程, 分析了水分子的参与对D4G异构体的相对稳定性和几何结构参数以及自然电荷的影响. 结果表明, 孤立的D4G分子在气相中存在8种稳定构象, 其中构象d4g-2是所有构象中最稳定的, 气相中D4G主要以d4g-2存在. 气相中各构象的相对稳定性为: d4g-2＞d4g-1＞d4g-5＞d4g-3＞d4g-6＞d4g-4＞d4g-8＞d4g-7. 计算得到的各构象键长和键角数据与实验值接近. 一个水分子的加入对D4G分子的构型参数有所影响, 基本不改变D4G分子各构象的稳定性顺序, 但构象转变的能垒有所提高. 氢键在分子构象中发挥了重要作用.

The relationship between Van der Waals volume of 4-substituent of phenol and sulfation in the rat.

The influence of 4-substituent of phenol on the sulfate conjugation was studied in the rat. 4-Substituents used were 4-ethyl, 4-tert-butyl and 4-phenyl. The in vivo and in vitro sulfations decreased in the order of phenol, 4-ethylphenol, 4-tert-butylphenol and 4-phenylphenol. The activity of sulfotransferase was correlated with the van der Waals volume of 4-substituent. The modification of thiol and arginyl residues of cytosol protein showed a similar degree of inactivation of sulfotransferase to all substituents used. Inactivation by the modification of histidyl residue of the protein increased with the increase of the van der Waals volume of 4-substituent. This result suggests that histidyl residue recognized van der Waals volume of 4-substituent.

低成本LaPO4-LnPO4核壳结构荧光颗粒的合成与表征

LnPO4( LnPO4=LaPO4:Ce,Tb)是被广泛应用的绿色荧光材料,由于所用的主要原材料之一Tb4O7的价格较为昂贵,导致其生产成本居高不下.如能有效合理地降低稀土磷酸盐绿色荧光粉的生产成本,则可望为照明工业带来显著的效益.报道了一种新型的核壳结构材料LaPO4-LnPO4,该材料以较为廉价的LaPO4作为内部核层,三聚磷酸盐水解缓慢释放的磷酸根与稀土离子通过均相沉淀异相成核的方法在LaPO4表面结合形成LnPO4壳层.所得核壳结构颗粒的荧光发射光谱与纯LnPO4完全一致.在还原性气氛中灼烧后,其发光强度可与市售LnPO4商业产品相当.本方法可将稀土磷酸盐绿色荧光粉的合成成本降低45％左右,而且操作简单,易于进行大规模工业化生产推广,对发光照明行业具有潜在的重要应用价值.

Self-assembly and redox modulation of the cavity size of an unusual rectangular iron thiolate aryldiisocyanide metallocyclophane

The decarbonylation reaction of ferric carbonyl dicationic [Cp(2)Fe(2)(μ-SEt)(2)(CO)(2)](BF(4))(2) [1(BF(4))(2)] carried out in refluxing acetonitrile affords a binuclear iron-sulfur core complex [Cp(2)Fe(2)(μ-SEt)(2)(CH(3)CN)(2)](BF(4))(2) [2(BF(4))(2)] containing two acetonitrile coordinated ligands. The treatment of 2(BF(4))(2) with 2 equiv of the 1,4-diisocyanobenzene (1,4-CNC(6)H(4)NC) results in the formation of the diisocyanide complex [Cp(2)Fe(2)(μ-SEt)(2)(1,4-CNC(6)H(4)NC)(2)](BF(4))(2) [3(BF(4))(2)]. The rectangular tetranuclear iron thiolate aryldiisocyanide metallocyclophane complex [Cp(4)Fe(4)(μ-SEt)(4)(μ-1,4-CNC(6)H(4)NC)(2)](BF(4))(4) [4(BF(4))(4)] has been synthesized by a self-assembly reaction between equimolar amounts of 2(BF(4))(2) and 1,4-diisocyanobenzene or by a stepwise route involving mixing of a 1:1 molar ratio of complexes 2(BF(4))(2) and 3(BF(4))(2). Chemical reduction of 4(BF(4))(4) by KC(8) was observed to produce the reduction product 4(BF(4))(2). The spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of the iron-sulfur core complexes 1(PF(6))(2), 3(BF(4))(2), 4(BF(4))(4), and 4(BF(4))(2) were determined. Finally, differences between the redox control cavities of rectangular tetranuclear iron thiolate aryldiisocyanide complexes are revealed by a comparison of the X-ray crystallographically determined structures of complexes 4(BF(4))(4) and 4(BF(4))(2).     

Normal coordinate analysis of 4-aminopyridine. Effect of substituent on pyridine ring in metal complexes of 4-substituted pyridines.

The normal coordinate analysis has been performed for 4-aminopyridine (4-apy) assuming C2v molecular symmetry. A Urey-Bradley force field has been used. The force constants are adjusted to fit the observed frequencies for 4-apy and its deuterated species. The vibrational assignment has been made on the basis of the calculated frequencies and potential energy distributions. The calculated frequencies were in good agreement with the observed frequencies. The substituent effect upon the M-nitrogen (ligand) (L = 4-methlypyridine, 4-ethylpyridine, 4-vinylpyridine. 4-aminopyridine and 4-cyanopyridine) and pyridine ring frequencies has also been investigated. The frequency shifts are found to be sensitive to the substituent in the 4-position of the pyridine ring.     

Size discrimination in the coordination chemistry of an isoindoline pincer ligand with CdII and ZnII

The reactions of Cd2+ and Zn2+ with the pyridine-arm isoindoline ligand 4'-MeLH = 1,3-bis[2-(4-methylpyridyl)imino]isoindoline produced the series of octahedrally coordinated complexes M(4'-MeL)2, [M(4'-MeLH)2]2+, and [M(4'-MeL)(4'-MeLH)]+. The complexes M(4'-MeL)2 resulted from reactions of the respective metal perchlorates with deprotonated ligand, whereas the complexes [M(4'-MeLH)2](ClO4)2 resulted from reactions with ligand in the absence of added base. The mixed-ligand complexes [M(4'-MeL)(4'-MeLH)]+ were generated in solution by reactions of equimolar quantities of M(4'-MeL)2 and [M(4'-MeLH)2]2+. Whereas [Cd(4'-MeL)(4'-MeLH)]+ is stable in solution, [Zn(4'-MeL)(4'-MeLH)]+ converts to and establishes equilibrium with the tetrahedrally coordinated, trinuclear complex [Zn3(4'-MeL)4]2+. The complexes Cd(4'-MeL)2 (1), Zn(4'-MeL)2 (2), and [Cd(4'-MeL)(4'-MeLH)]ClO4 (5) were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, with the latter complex being shown to contain 4'-MeLH coordinated as a protonated iminium zwitterionic ligand. The [M(4'-MeLH)2]2+ and [M(4'-MeL)(4'-MeLH)]+ complexes are tautomeric in solution because of the shuttling of the iminium protons between imine N atoms. The rate of prototropic tautomerism in [Cd(4'-MeLH)2]+ was followed by 1H NMR spectroscopy. Over the temperature range 276-312 K, a linear Eyring plot with the activation parameters DeltaG++ = 16.0 +/- 0.1 kcal/mol, DeltaH++ = 2.9 +/- 0.1 kcal/mol, and DeltaS++ = -44.0 +/- 0.3 cal/mol.K was obtained.

The reaction of Pb and Eu with a molten mixture of A(2)Se/P(2)Se(5)/Se produced the quaternary compounds APbPSe(4), A(4)Pb(PSe(4))(2) (A = Rb,Cs), and K(4)Eu(PSe(4))(2). The red crystals of APbPSe(4) are stable in air and water. The orange crystals of A(4)Pb(PSe(4))(2) and K(4)Eu(PSe(4))(2) disintegrate in water and over a long exposure to air. CsPbPSe(4) crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma (No. 62) with a = 18.607(4) ?, b = 7.096(4) ?, c = 6.612(4) ?, and Z = 4. Rb(4)Pb(PSe(4))(2) crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Ibam (No. 72) with a = 19.134(9) ?, b = 9.369(3) ?, c = 10.488(3) ?, and Z = 4. The isomorphous K(4)Eu(PSe(4))(2) has a = 19.020(4) ?, b = 9.131(1) ?, c = 10.198(2) ?, and Z = 4. The APbPSe(4) have a layered structure with [PbPSe(4)](n)()(n)()(-) layers separated by A(+) ions. The coordination geometry around Pb is trigonal prismatic. The layers are composed of chains of edge sharing trigonal prisms running along the b-direction. [PSe(4)](3)(-) tetrahedra link these chains along the c-direction by sharing edges and corners with the trigonal prisms. A(4)M(PSe(4))(2) (M = Pb, Eu) has an one-dimensional structure in which [M(PSe(4))(2)](n)()(n)()(-) chains are separated by A(+) ions. The coordination geometry around M is a distorted dodecahedron. Two [PSe(4)](3)(-) ligands bridge two adjacent metal atoms, using three selenium atoms each, forming in this way a chain along the c-direction. The solid state optical absorption spectra of the compounds are reported. All compounds melt congruently in the 597-620 degrees C region.

The key aldehyde 3 has been synthesized by reacting 2‐(chloromethyl)‐3‐methyl‐4‐(2,2,2‐trifluoroethoxy)pyridine hydrochloride and vanillin. The structures of the new compounds were established on the basis of ¹H‐NMR, mass, IR, and elemental analysis data.

Experimental and computational studies of alkali-metal coinage-metal clusters

Coinage and alkali metal mixed clusters, M4Na- (M = Cu, Au) have been investigated experimentally using photoelectron spectroscopy and computationally at correlated ab initio levels. The related Cu4Li-, Ag4Li-, Ag4Na-, and Au4Li- clusters as well as the neutral Cu4Li2 and Cu4Na2 clusters have also been studied computationally. The calculations show that the two lowest isomers of the negatively charged clusters include a pyramidal C4v structure and a planar C2v species. For Cu4Li- and Cu4Na-, the C4v structure is calculated at correlated ab initio level to be 30.9 and 16.9 kJ/mol below the planar C2v isomer, whereas the planar isomers of Au4Li- and Au4Na- are found to be 29.7 and 49.4 kJ/mol below the pyramidal ones. For Ag4Li- and Ag4Na-, the pyramidal isomers are the lowest ones. Comparison of the calculated and measured photoelectron spectra of Cu4Na- and Au4Na- shows that the pyramidal Cu4Na- cluster of C4v symmetry and the planar Au4Na- of C2v symmetry are detected experimentally. Calculations of the magnetically induced current density in Cu4Li- and Cu4Li2 using the Gauge-Including Magnetically Induced Current (GIMIC) method show that strong ring currents are sustained mainly by the highest-occupied molecular orbital primarily derived from the Cu 4s. The GIMIC calculations thus show that the Cu4(2-) ring is -aromatic and that the d orbitals do not play any significant role for the electron delocalization effects. The present study does not support the notion that the square-planar Cu4(2-) is the first example of d-orbital aromatic molecules.

A database for the determination of orientational ordering of nine classes of liquid crystals using carbon-13 chemical shifts

The orientational ordering of nine classes of liquid crystals, namely 4-n-alkyl-413 cyanobiphenyls (nCB), 4-n-alkoxy-4-cyanobiphenyls (nOCB), 4-n-alkoxybenzilidene-4-nalkylanilines (nO.m), 4-cyanophenyl 4-alkylbenzoates (nCPB), 4-n-alkylphenyl 4-n-alkoxycinnamates (Cin-n-m), esters of alpha-chloro carboxylic acids and 4-n-alkyl-4-hydroxybiphenyls (An, Bn and Cn), 4,4-di-n-alkyldiphenyldiacetylenes (PTTP), 4-n-alkylphenyl 4-n-alkoxybenzoates (nOm), and 4-n-alkoxyphenyl 4-n-alkoxybenzoates (nOm), have been investigated by the use of 13C NMR. The order parameters of the phenyl rings were determined by using a 2D 13C NMR technique known as separated local field (SLF) spectroscopy in combination with variable angle spinning (VAS). The order parameters obtained were then correlated with their corresponding anisotropic 1D C chemical shifts in their nematic and smectic phases to give a linear relationship in each case. The parameters obtained in the linear correlations provide a convenient way to obtain the order parameters from direct measurement of the 13C chemical shifts for other homologous members of these classes of liquid crystal.
