PROBABILITY CORRELATION OF ∑_1 RELATION-SHIPS AND THEIR TABLES OF 230 SPACE GROUPS

In the present paper, using the structure factor algebra method, we discuss the correla-tion and the distinction between thte conventionally used ∑_1 relationships and the probabilityvalue of P_ (h_1) on the basis of the P_ (h_1) of Hauptman's ana Karle's ∑_1 relationship. Theintroduction of conception on equivalent point weight ω of h_1 and degeneracy ω_2 of h_2 makesthe probability P_ (h_1) expressed by ∑_1 relationships become more strict. There are a lot ofinterrelated ∑_1 relationships in all four high symmetry crystal systems. According to theresults of this paper, what we need is noly to retain a few independent ∑_1 relationships. Usingthe principle of linearization, we have completed the tables of the ∑_1 relationships for 156space groups which belong to tetragonal, trigonal, hexagonal and cubic crystal systems.Now, we present the concise and perfect tables of 230 space groups of which 74 wereaccomplished by Hasek.     

THEORETICAL AND COMPUTATIONAL INVESTIGATIONS OF NONLINEAR WAVE PROPAGATIONS IN ARTERIES (Ⅰ)——A THEORETICAL MODEL OF NONLINEAR PULSE WAVE PROPAGATIONS

In this paper, a new theoretical model of nonlinear wave propagations in arteries with surrounding tissues was put forward. The equations of motion for the blood vessels and their peripheral tissues as a system have been derived. These equations were expressed in terms of the stresses of the vessel wall and fluid, and the geometry of the blood vessel. They can be used to solve numerically the problems for the propagations of nonlinear pulse waves in arteries together with the momentum and continuity equations of incompressible-viscous flow, as well as the constitutive equations of fluid and vessel wall. The numerical solutions can involve pressure, velocities and flowrate of the blood flow, as well as displacements, velocities and stresses of the vessel wall. These physical variables of propagations of pulse waves in arteries are all of significance physiologically and clinically.     

Design and Synthesis of 1-Benzyl-3-(a-hydroxy-(un)substituted benzylidene)pyrrolidine-2,4-diones as Potential Herbicides

The inhibitors of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD, EC 1.13.11.27) are an new kind of herbicides.[1]Generally, in structure, potent herbicides of this kind must possess: (1) a tricarbonyl methane structure and one of the three carbonyl groups must be a subustituted benzoyl group; (2) the compound must be able to enolise so that the enolate is capable of inhibiting HPPD enzyme by competitive combination with Fe2+, the reaction center of HPPD enzyme.[2]Recently, we noticed that the 3-acyltetramic acids form an expanding group of antibiotics and pigments from micro-organisms,[3] they display a range of biological activities[4] and all of this kind compounds possess all of the characters mentioned above. Tests of their antimicrobial activities indicated that the structure of the acyl substituent at the 3-position was important to many typical antibiotics.[4～6] These characters stimulated us to study this kind of compounds so as to discover new herbicides. In this report, we synthesized a series of compounds 3 and tested their herbicidal activities to investigate their structure-activity relationships.     

New Methods and Synthetic Applications of Asymmetric Nitrogen Transfer

Structure/reactivity relationships of N-alkoxycarbonyl- and N-carboxamidooxaziridines are explored, and conditions are discovered for the efficient amination of sulfides and primary amines. Reactions of these oxaziridines with alkenes are also examined, and lead to interesting new heteroatom transfer reaction products. Finally, the aminative rearrangement of 2-alkoxydihydropyrans leads to a useful stereocontrolled synthesis of pyrrolidines which can undergo synthetic manipulations to give [2.2.1]- and [3.2.1]-azabicycles.     

Investigation of Quantitative Relationship between Adsorbed Amount of Solute and Solvent Concentration at Relatively High Solute Con－centration by Frontal Analysis in RPLC

In previous paper a new adsorption isotherm which relates the amount of solute absorbed to the solvent concentration is pro-posed and simplified, and it only can be used at lower solute concentration. In this article the scope of the new adsorption isotherm is extended and the expressions with three and four parameters are obtained. The equations with multi-parameters are valid when the adsorbed mounts are larger and show non-linear logarithmic relationships. Tests with a homologue of are-matic alcohols by frontal analysis in reversed phase liquid chro-matography demonstrate that the experimental results fit those equations well. In addition, the predicted values by the multi-parameters were found to fit the experimental values well also. The parameters have physical meaning only for the two-param-eter equation for the aromatic alcohols.     

Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Glass Transition Behavior of Polyimide Ensemble

The prediction of glass transition temperature from chemical structure has a great significance to select and design new high-properties materials. However, for the estimation and correlation methods, the deficiency of parameters for newer groups will lead to invalidity of Tg prediction or greater deviation from experiment. In the present work, we predicted Tg for a polyimide (PI) ensemble with rigid moieties, and analyzed structural factor that regards to the rotation barrier of the bridging…     

An Electrostatic Bond Energy Model for Enthalpies of Formation of Chloroalkanes in Gaseous States

An electrostatic bond energy model is formulated to fit the enthalpies of formation and dipole moments of the alkanes and chloroalkanes. In this model, the charge distributions are calculated by an electrostatic approach similar to the "MSE" method, and the enthalpy of formation of a molecule is the sum of the bond energy terms plus the electrostatic energy of the interactions between the charges on all atoms. All parameters of this model are obtained by parameterization. The calculated dipole moments for 13 chloroalkanes and enthalpies of formation for 19 alkanes and non-geminal chloroalkanes agree with the determined values very well. To calculate the enthalpies of formation of geminal chloroalkanes, a correction mainly attributed to the van der Waals interactions in the geminal substituted group, about 24 kJ/mol per pair of geminal chlorine atoms, is introduced.     

Solubilities, Densities and Refractive Indices of Rubidium Chloride or Cesium Chloride in Ethanol Aqueous Solutions at Different Temperatures

The data of solubilities, densities and refractive indices of rubidium chloride or cesium chloride in the system CEHsOH-H2O were measured by using a simple accurate analytical method at different temperatures, with mass fractions of ethanol in the range of 0 to 1.0. In all cases, the presence of ethanol significantly reduced the solubility of rubidium chloride and cesium chloride in aqueous solution. The solubilities of the saturated solutions were fitted via polynomial equations as a function of the mass fraction of ethanol. The CsC1-C2H5OH-H2O ternary system appeared in two liquid phases： alcoholic phase and water phase, when the mass fractions of ethanol were in the range of 10.37% to 49.59% at 35 ℃. Density and refractive index were also determined for the same ternary systems with varied unsaturated salt concentrations. Values for both experiment and theory were correlated with the salt concentrations and proportions of alcohol in the solutions. The equations proposed could also account for the saturated solutions.

Synthesis of P-Stereogenic Diarylphosphinamides as Novel Inhibitors of Melanoma

In this paper, the evaluation on the biological activity of an array of P-stereogenic diaryphosphinamides as novel inhibitors of malignant melanoma was presented. Among 20 derivatives being screened, several of them displayed high inhibition rate up to 90% against the B16 melanoma cells at 100 μg/mL. Moreover, one of them displayed high inhibition activity with IC50 value of 5.8 μg/mL. In contrast, a comparative assay showed that all the compounds were almost inactive or showed only very weak inhibition ability against an array of cell lines including HL7702, Bel7402, HT1080, A549 and McF7 cells. The results suggested that the P-stereogenic diaryiphosphinamides may serve as a class of novel lead molecules for further development of new inhibitors for selective inhibition of melanoma.     

Equilibrium Phase Behavior of Ethylene Glycol/Glycerin＋RbNO3/CsNO3＋H2O at 288.15 and 298.15 K

The solubilities, densities and refractive indices for the four ternary systems ethylene glycol/glycerin＋ RbNOJCsNO3＋H20 were measured with mass fractions of ethylene glycol or glycerin in a range of 0 to 1.0 at 288.15 and 298.15 K. In all the cases, the presence of either ethylene glycol or glycerin significantly reduces the solubilities of the rubidium nitrate and cesium nitrate in aqueous solution, but the refractive indices increase with the increase of mass fraction of either ethylene glycol or glycerin. The density, refractive index and solubility of the saturated ternary systems were correlated with each other via polynomial equations. In addition, the refractive indices and densities of unsaturated solutions were also determined for the four ternary systems with different salt concentrations, which were correlated with the salt concentration and proportion of ethylene glycol or glycerin in the solution.     

Two-dimensional MgSiP_2 with anisotropic electronic properties and good performances for Na-ion batteries

Using the global particle-swarm optimization method and density functional theory,we predict a new stable two-dimensional layered material:MgSiP_2 with a low-buckled honeycomb lattice.Our HSE06 calculation shows that MgSiP_2 is an indirect-gap semiconductor with a band-gap of 1.20 eV,closed to that of bulk silicon.More remarkably,MgSiP2 exhibits worthwhile anisotropy along with electron and hole carrier mobility.A ultrahigh electron mobility is even up to 1.29 × 104 cm~2 V ~1 s ~1.while the hole mobility is nearly zero along the a direction.The large difference of the mobility between electron and hole together with the suitable band-gap suggest that MgSiP_2 may be a good candidate for solar cell or photochemical catalysis material.Furthermore,we explore MgSiP2 as an anode for sodium-ion batte ries.Upon Na adsorption,the semiconducting MgSiP2 transforms to a metallic state,ensuring good electrical conductivity.A maximum theoretical capacity of 1406 mAh/g,a small volume change(within 9.5%),a small diffusion barrier(～0.16 eV) and low average open-circuit voltages(～0.15 V) were found fo r MgSiP2 as an anode for sodium-ion batteries.These results are helpful to deepen the understanding of MgSiP2 as a nanoelectronic device and a potential anode for Na-ion batteries.     

Structure and Stability of C20H3 Radical

Density functional theory B3LYP with 6-31G* basis set has been used to investigate the geometries, rotational constants, dipole moments, energy gaps and vibrational frequencies of nine series of isomers of C20H3 radical. The result shows that the bowl-like structure with C1 symmetry is the most stable structure, in which the three hydrogen atoms locate on the edge carbon atoms, and the two hydrogen atoms are neighbouring and the other one has a two- carbon atom interval to the neighbouring hydrogen. In addition, the relationship between the energy and the position of one hydrogen atom from end to middle on the linear structures of C20H3 radical with two hydrogens atoms located on two ends was obtained, which shows the energy increase monotonously. Furthermore, hydrogenation can relax the strain and make the isomer of C20 more stable.     

Influence of Cl substitution on the electronic structure and catalytic activity of ceria

Cl-containing cerium dioxide(Ce O2) catalysts have been found to exhibit unique catalytic activities. In the present work, using density functional theory calculations with the inclusion of on-site Coulomb correction, we systematically studied the effect of Cl on the physicochemical properties of Ce O2 surfaces by substituting one subsurface O with Cl. The calculated results show that substituting an O atom with a Cl atom results in structural distortion and the reduction of one surface Ce4+ cation to Ce3+. The protruding Ce3+ cation greatly improves the adsorption energy of O2 to produce an active O2- species, and maintains the catalytic oxidation cycle of CO on Ce O2(110). These results may help us obtain a better understanding of Cl-ceria interacting systems and provide some guidance for the design of effective Ce O2-based catalysts.     

LINEAR THEORY OF Σ RELATIONSHIP

Some general formulae for relationships including those of high order are presented using a method of structure factor algebra on the basis of Hauptman-Karle's relationship theory. It is indicated that the key to solving relationship problems is the evaluation of moments. We gave the method of the linearization calculation of moments which are involved by various relationships, thus solving the problem of the dependence of each relationship on space group. It opens up an effective way for the practical application of the various relationships, especially the high order ones. A general program was compiled for the computation of using the general formula of . When applied to the crystal structure calculation of EuP_5O_(14), a better result has been obtained.     

Substituent Effects on the Low-Frequency Vibrational Modes of Benzoic Acid and Related Compounds

Well-resolved absorption spectra of benzoic acid and its derivatives with one hydrogen atom replaced by a substituent group CH3, OH, NH2 or NO2 were reported in the frequency region between 6 and 67 cm^-1 at room temperature with terahertz time-domain spectroscopy （THz-TDS）. These substances can be distinguished easily based on the terahertz absorption spectra. The measurements suggested that even minor changes in the molecular configuration and chemical composition lead to distinct differences in THz spectrum. Density functional theory （DFT） method was used to assist the analysis and assignment of the individual THz absorption spectra of benzoic acid and its methyl derivatives. Observed THz responses of samples can be assigned to the collective vibrations associated with intermolecular hydrogen bonds.     

A new building block with intramolecular D-A character for conjugated polymers: ladder structure based on B←N unit

The general strategy to construct D-A type conjugated polymers is alternating copolymerization of electron-donating(D)monomer and electron-accepting(A) monomer. In this article, we report a new strategy to develop D-A type conjugated polymers, i.e. first fuse the D and A units into a polycyclic structure to produce a building block and then polymerize the building block with another unit. We develop a new building block with ladder structure based on B←N unit, B←N bridged dipyridylbenzene(BNDPB). In the skeleton of BNDPB, one diamine-substituted phenylene ring(D unit) and two B←N-linked pyridyl rings(A unit) are fused together to produce the polycyclic structure. Owning to the presence of intramolecular D-A character, the building block itself exhibits narrow bandgap of 1.74 eV. The conjugated polymers based on BNDPB show unique electronic structures, i.e. localized HOMOs and delocalized LUMOs, which are rarely observed for conventional D-A conjugated polymers. The polymers exhibit smaller bandgap than that of the building block BNDPB and display near-infrared(NIR)light absorption(λabs=ca. 700 nm). This study thus provides not only a new strategy to design D-A conjugated polymers but also a new kind of building block with narrow bandgap.     

室温离子液体BMIGaCl4热力学性质研究

An ionic liquid （IL） BMIGaCh was prepared by directly mixing GaCl3 and 1-methyl-3-butylimidazolium chloride with molar ratio of 1/1 under argon atmosphere. The densities and surface tensions of this pure ionic liquid were determined in the temperature range of 268.15 to （338.15±0.1） K. A new theoretical model of ionic liquids, an interstice model, was applied to calculate the thermal expansion coefficient of IL BMIGaCh, a, and the magnitude order of its value calculated by the theory was the same as experimental one. Both Raman scattering and ab initio calculations indicate that GaCl4^- is the only species containing Ga in the ionic liquid BMIGaCl4.     

Novel Base-Promoted Syntheses ofβ-Indolylketones via a Three- Component Condensation under Ultrasound Irradiation

In recent years, a wide variety of organic compounds bearing indole fragment have been attracted much attention due to the fact that many of them are pharmacologically and biologically active compounds.[1] Among them β-indolylketones are one of the most significant intermediates for the preparation of natural products such as hapalindole D 1.[2] In recent years, the utilization of multicomponent condensations (MCCs) to generate novel, drug-like scaffolds are replete in current organic reactions due to the fact that products can be prepared directly in a single step and the diversity can be achieved simply by varying the reaction substrates. In continuation of our work to synthesize new β-indolylketones,[3] herein, we report a novel base-induced syntheses of new β-indolylketones via a three-component condensation. Deoxybenzoin as carbonyl compound is introduced into the reaction (Scheme 1), and all the reactions were operated under ultrasound irradiation since the utilization of which can accelerate the progress of many reactions and shorten the reaction time.
