Generalized Hirshfeld Partitioning with Oriented and Promoted ProatomsSCI北大核心CSCD

In this study, we show how to generalize Hirshfeld partitioning methods to possibly include non-spherical proatom densities. While this generalization is numerically challenging(requiring global optimization of a large number of parameters), it is conceptually appealing because it allows the proatoms to be pre-polarized, or even promoted, to a state that more closely resembles the atom in a molecule. This method is based on first characterizing the convex set of proatom densities associated with the degenerate ground states of isolated atoms and atomic ions. The preferred orientation of the proatoms' densities are then obtained by minimizing the information–theoretic distance between the promolecular and molecular densities. If contributions from excited states(and not just degenerate ground states) are included in the convex set, this method can describe promoted atoms. While the procedure is intractable in general, if one includes only atomic states that have differing electron-numbers and/or spins, the variational principle becomes a simple convex optimization with a single unique solution.     

Three-element doped carbon dots for the detection of p-nitrophenolEI北大核心CSCD

Based on the characteristics that heteroatom doping can improve the luminescence performance of carbon dotsa new type of three-element co-doped carbon dots NSSi-CDswas prepared. The synthesis conditions were optimizedand the morphologystructure and luminescence properties of NSSi-CDs were characterized. NSSi-CDs can emit 450 nm blue fluorescence under excitation at 370 nmand the fluorescence quantum yield reached 11%. The study found that p-nitrophenol PNPhas a strong fluorescence quenching effect on NSSi-CDsand thus a new method for the determination of PNP with NSSi-CDs fluorescent probe was constructed. When the concentration of PNP was in the range of 0.9-60 μµmol/Lit had a good linear relationship with the fluorescence quenching efficiencyF0 /Fand the detection limit was 0.36 μµmol/L. This method was used to determine PNP in actual water samples with good recoveries of 90.6%-95.2%. © 2022, Youke Publishing Co.,Ltd. All rights reserved.

Application of split aptamers-based sensors for the detection of small moleculesEI北大核心CSCD

The split aptamers (SPAs)-based sensors is a novel kind of biosensors, assembled by two or more oligonucleotides in the presence of specific targets. To be successfully assembled, the sensor has to be induced by a specific target, which can aviod false-positive results and thus has a high degree of specificity and sensitivity. SPAs are suitable for the detection of various targets and show great advantages and potential in the development of aptasensors, especially for the detection of small molecules. However, the development and application of SPA-based sensors still remain challenging. Currently, the major difficulty is how to improve the stability of SPA-target complexes. Herein, this review summarizes the SPAs, strategies of splitting aptamers, and their applications in the detection of small molecules, aiming to provide new ideas for the development of novel, sensitive, and specific aptasensors. © 2023, Youke Publishing Co.,Ltd.

Synthesis of a flavonoid fluorescent probe for the detection of sulfur dioxide derivatives and cell imagingEI北大核心CSCD

A novel fluorescent probe HMQC was synthesized for HSOf detection by coupling flavonoid derivatives with 3-quinoline salt. In PBS buffer solution, the probe showed high selectivity, good sensitivity (58 nmol/L) and rapid response (150 s) for the detection of HSO3−. The possible sensing mechanism of the probe was discussed by nuclear magnetic hydrogen spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and theoretical calculation, indicating that the addition reaction between HSO3− and the C=C bond of the probe led to the fluorescence enhancement. The probe HMQC could be used for the detection of HSO3− in living cells, making it to be a promising tool for delecting HSO3−. © 2023, Youke Publishing Co.,Ltd. All rights reserved.     

Pyrolysis Process of Plant Fibers北大核心CSCD

The natural plant fiber has a large molecular weight and complex structure and composition,and its thermal cracking products and the composition distribution are also more complex. The fast pyrolysiscomprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with time-of-flight mass spectrometry（Py-GC×GC-TOF/MS）,thermogravimetry-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy（TG-FT-IR）,and in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy（in situ FT-IR）methods were used to study the thermal pyrolysis process of six different natural fibers. The distribution of thermal pyrolysis products of different fibers under different pyrolysis temperatures was investigated and the product form was fully discussed. The research results show that the products of fiber pyrolysis mainly include alcohols,aldehydes,ketones,acids,esters,hydrocarbons, dehydrated sugars and CO2,etc. The types of pyrolysis products of different natural plant fibers are obviously different,and the main product types obtained are all different. At the same time,the results of in situ infrared spectroscopy and mass spectrometry show that pyrolysis products are closely related to the pyrolysis temperature. The results of in situ infrared experiments show that when the pyrolysis temperature is lower than 100 °C,the adsorbed water on the surface of the fiber structure is desorbed,but the fiber structure does not change significantly. When the pyrolysis temperature range is 100~200 °C,the temperature has little effect toward the pyrolysis process. When the temperature exceeds 300 °C,the fiber pyrolysis reaction intensifies and the surface structure changes significantly,and the main products are aldehydes and ketones. © 2022, Science Press (China).

Advances in chromatographic analysis of ginsenosidesEI北大核心CSCD

Ginsenosides possess pharmacological activities such as anti-aging,cardiovascular protection,and improving immunity. However,the detection and analysis of ginsenosides commonly suffer from the problem of low sensitivity owing to the complex matrix and low content of ginsenosides. Chromatographic technology was often used to detect ginsenosides owing to the advantages of high accuracy,high sensitivity,good reproducibility and low sample consumption,etc. In this review,the application of chromatographic analysis technologies in ginsenosides detection was summarized. First of all,accuracy of test results for the ginsenosides can be effectively improved by using high performance liquid chromatography（HPLC）combined with various detectors. Secondly,the combination of HPLC with mass spectrometry can be utilized for qualitative and quantitative analysis of ginsenosides, as well as other fields, such as metabonomics, pharmacokinetics, intestinal microorganisms and quality control. Moreover,the application of gas chromatography in analysis of ginsenosides was reviewed. Briefly,with the continuous development of chromatographic technology,the degree of accuracy for ginsenosides detection was effectively improved,which is beneficial to realize the effective analysis of ginsenosides. © 2023, Youke Publishing Co., Ltd.

Transition Metals in the Synthesis and Functionalization of Indoles [New Synthesis Methods (72)]

The use of transition-metal complexes as reagents for the synthesis of complex organic compounds has been under development for at least several decades, and many extraordinary organic transformations of profound potential have been realized. However, adoption of this chemistry by the practicing synthetic organic chemist has been inordinately slow, and only now are transition-metal reagents beginning to achieve their rightful place in the arsenal of organic synthesis. Several factors contributed to the initial reluctance of synthetic organic chemists to use organometallic reagents. Lacking education and experience in the ways of elements having d electrons, synthetic chemists viewed organometallic processes as something mysterious and unpredictable, and not to be discussed in polite society. Organometallic chemists did not help matters by advertising their latest advances as useful synthetic methodology, but restricting their studies to very simple organic systems lacking any serious functionality (e.g., the “methyl, ethyl, butyl, futile” syndrome). Happily, things have changed. Organometallic chemists have turned their attention to more complex systems, and more recently trained organic chemists have benefited from exposure to the application of transition metals. This combination has set the stage for major advances in the use of transition metals in the synthesis of complex organic compounds. This review deals with one aspect of this area, the use of transition metals in the synthesis of indoles.     

Charge-Transfer Transitions Govern the Reactivity and Photophysics of Vicinally Diphosphanyl-Substituted Diborapentacenes

2,3-Difluoro-5,14-dihydro-5,14-diborapentacene (DBP) was endowed with two vicinal Ph₂P groups by an S_NAr reaction at both CF sites using Ph₂PSiMe₃. Computations reveal the ambipolar product P to undergo P-to-B charge transfer under ambient light irradiation. Consequently, P is prone to photooxidation by air, yielding the Ph₂P(O) species PO . With S₈ or [Me₃O][BF₄], P furnishes the Ph₂P(S) or Ph₂P(Me)⁺ derivatives PS or [ PMe ][BF₄]₂. Along the series P , PO , PS , and [ PMe ][BF₄]₂, the redox potentials shift anodically from E_1/2=−1.89 V to −1.02 V (CH₂Cl₂). Thus, derivatization of the Ph₂P group allows late-stage modulation of the LUMO-energy level of the DBP. Derivatization also influences the emission properties of the compounds, as PO shows green (521 nm) and [ PMe ][BF₄]₂ red (622 nm) fluorescence in C₆H₆, while P and PS are dark. With CuBr and AgBr, P forms dimeric [M(μ-Br)]₂ complexes [ PCu ]₂ and [ PAg ]₂, which show pronounced metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT), making P a promising ligand for photocatalysts.     

Dramatic Influence of an Anionic Donor on the Oxygen‐Atom Transfer Reactivity of a MnV–Oxo Complex

Addition of an anionic donor to an Mn^V(O) porphyrinoid complex causes a dramatic increase in 2‐electron oxygen‐atom‐transfer (OAT) chemistry. The 6‐coordinate [Mn^V(O)(TBP₈Cz)(CN)]^? was generated from addition of Bu₄N⁺CN^? to the 5‐coordinate Mn^V(O) precursor. The cyanide‐ligated complex was characterized for the first time by Mn K‐edge X‐ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and gives Mn?O=1.53 Å, Mn?CN=2.21 Å. In combination with computational studies these distances were shown to correlate with a singlet ground state. Reaction of the CN^? complex with thioethers results in OAT to give the corresponding sulfoxide and a 2e^?‐reduced Mn^III(CN)^? complex. Kinetic measurements reveal a dramatic rate enhancement for OAT of approximately 24 000‐fold versus the same reaction for the parent 5‐coordinate complex. An Eyring analysis gives ΔH^≠=14 kcal mol^?1, ΔS^≠=?10 cal mol^?1 K^?1. Computational studies fully support the structures, spin states, and relative reactivity of the 5‐ and 6‐coordinate Mn^V(O) complexes.     

Theoretical study of the strong intramolecular hydrogen bond and metal-ligand interactions in group 10 (Ni, Pd, Pt) bis(dimethylglyoximato) complexes

The structural and bonding characteristics of the bis(dimethylglyoximato) complexes of group 10 transition metals ([M(dmg)₂], where M = Ni, Pd and Pt) were investigated by means of quantum chemical computations. The equilibrium geometries, energetic and bonding properties were computed using the B3P86 exchange-correlation density functional in conjunction with a 6-311+(+)G^∗∗ basis set. The computations revealed that the strong O⁻?H-O hydrogen bond exists only in the presence of the metal cations. The free (dmg)₂²⁻ ligand has significantly different geometry in which the O⁻?H-O interaction is replaced by N?O-H bonds. The characteristics of the metal-ligand interactions were determined by natural bond orbital analysis.     

Control of the Electronic Structure of Organic Conductors as Exemplified by [NMP][TCNQ] Charge-Transfer Complexes

Through replacement of cations with neutral molecules of similar shape and polarizability in a highly conducting “metal-like” change-transfer organic conductor, the deliberate control of the electronic structure from a quarter to a half-filled band is possible. This goal has been achieved with the N-methylphenazinium (NMP) salt of the tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) anion by partial replacement of the cation with phenazine. A detailed study of the optical, electrical, and magnetic properties of these conducting molecular solids has lead to the evolution of a broad understanding of the physics of one-dimensional organic conductors and a reinterpretation of the mechanism of electron transport in such solids. Phenomena such as switching from a low coulomb repulsion two-chain conductor to a high coulomb repulsion one-chain conductor as well as soliton-assisted electron transport are observed.     

Development of a General and Selective Nanostructured Cobalt Catalyst for the Hydrogenation of Benzofurans,Indoles and Benzothiophenes

The selective hydrogenation of benzofurans in the presence of a heterogeneous non-noble metal catalyst is reported. The developed optimal catalytic material consists of cobalt-cobalt oxide core–shell nanoparticles supported on silica, which has been prepared by the immobilization and pyrolysis of cobalt-DABCO-citric acid complex on silica under argon at 800 °C. This novel catalyst allows for the selective hydrogenation of simple and functionalized benzofurans to 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans as well as related heterocycles. The versatility of the reported protocol is showcased by the reduction of selected drugs and deuteration of heterocycles. Further, the stability, recycling, and reusability of the Co-nanocatalyst are demonstrated.     

Mechanism of the Ir/Pd catalyzed photocarboxylation of aryl halides

The recent Ir/Pd co-catalyzed photo carboxylation of aromatic halides with CO_2 has shown high efficiency and excellent functional group tolerance for preparing aromatic carboxylic acids and esters.With the aid of density functional theory(DFT) calculations,the carboxylation starts with two parallel steps,i.e.,oxidative addition of aromatic halides on Pd~0 and reductive quenching of the photocatalyst Ir(ppy)_2(dtbpy)~+with amine.Thereafter,a successive oxidation of Pd~Ⅱ with the amine radical(generated by the reaction of cationic radical amine and Cs_2 CO_3) and Ir~Ⅱ species occurs to generate Pd~0,from which the carboxylation occurs easily via a coordination,Pd-C insertion step.The release of the carboxylate product then regenerates the catalyst.     

Experimental studies of charge transfer reactions between argon and the third row metals calcium through copper in the inductively coupled plasma

The effect of charge transfer reactions on analyte excitation and ionization in the inductively coupled plasma was studied by two independent techniques. In one technique, pulsed lasers were used to either deplete the ground state of neutral analyte atoms or enhance the population of selected states of the singly charged ion. In both cases the perturbed species were collision partners with argon in potential charge transfer reactions. The effects of charge transfer collisions could be detected in the form of changes in emission from product species. In the second technique, a simple correlation method was used to detect the link via charge transfer of neutral atom ground states and highly excited ionic levels. In the presence of charge transfer collisions, the populations of such linked levels show strong positive correlations. The two techniques were used to study the effects of charge transfer reactions on the third row elements Ca–Cu. With the exception of Cr and Mn, all of the elements studied showed positive evidence of excitation and ionization by charge transfer collision with argon.     

DFT study on mechanism of the classical Biginelli reaction

The condensation of benzaldehyde, urea, and ethyl acetoacetate according to the procedure described by Biginelli was investigated at the B3LYP/6-31G（d）, B3LYP/6-31 ＋G（d,p）, and B3LYP/6-311＋G（3df,2p）//B3LYP/6-31＋G（d,p） levels to explore the reaction mechanism. According to the mechanism proposed by Kappe, structures of five intermediates were optimized and four transition states were found. The calculation results proved that the mechanism proposed by Kappe is right.
