Reaction of Thiocarbonyl Fluoride Generated from Difluorocarbene with Amines

The reaction of thiocarbonyl fluoride, generated from difluorocarbene, with various amines under mild conditions is described. Secondary amines, primary amines, and o ‐phenylenediamines are converted to thiocarbamoyl fluorides, isothiocyanates, and difluoromethylthiolated heterocycles, respectively. Thiocarbamoyl fluorides were further transformed into trifluoromethylated amines by using a one‐pot process. Thiocarbonyl fluoride is generated in situ and is rapidly fully converted in one pot under mild conditions; therefore, no special safety precautions are needed.

氟化吡唑啉蓝色电致发光器件的制备

自从Tang等[1]首次报道了多层有机电致发光器件以来, 人们研究了大量的新型材料[2,3], 其中较吸引人的方法是将高量子产率的荧光染料掺杂于传输层中制备电致发光器件[4～9]. 三芳基吡唑啉化合物具有较高的荧光产率和蓝色发射特性. 这些化合物具有分子内电荷传输性能, 在激发状态下分子可发生扭曲形成电子给体-受体结构[10], 因此在EL器件制备过程中既可以作为载流子传输材料, 又可以作为发光材料来应用. 虽然吡唑啉类化合物在固态下具有空穴传输特性[11], 也有较高的荧光产率, 但它们的玻璃转化转变温度较低, 在制备EL器件时, 如单独作为传输层或发射层时, 该类材料易于结晶, 从而使得器件的性能快速衰减. 如果将它们分散于聚合物等主体中, 就会避免重结晶问题. 我们在三苯基吡唑啉中引入强吸电子基团CF3, 导致分子的刚性增强和荧光强度增加, 熔点升高. 将氟化三苯基吡唑啉(FTPP)作为发光中心制作了两类EL器件, 均获得蓝光发射.

Functional Systems Derived from Nucleobase Self-assembly

Dynamic and reversible non-covalent interactions endow synthetic systems and materials with smart adaptive functions that allow them to response to diverse stimuli, interact with external agents, or repair structural defects. Inspired by the outstanding performance and selectivity of DNA in living systems, scientists are increasingly employing Watson−Crick nucleobase pairing to control the structure and properties of self-assembled materials. Two sets of complementary purine-pyrimidine pairs (guanine:cytosine and adenine:thymine(uracil)) are available that provide selective and directional H-bonding interactions, present multiple metal-coordination sites, and exhibit rich redox chemistry. In this review, we highlight several recent examples that profit from these features and employ nucleobase interactions in functional systems and materials, covering the fields of energy/electron transfer, charge transport, adaptive nanoparticles, porous materials, macromolecule self-assembly, or polymeric materials with adhesive or self-healing ability.     

Coordination of Ligands That Contain Thiocarbonyl,Carbonyl, or Thiolate Functionalities to Complex Fragments of Palladium in Various Oxidation States

Two phosphine ligands of [Pd(PPh₃)₄] were substituted by π(C?S) coordination of 4‐bromodithiobenzoic acid methyl ester resulting in complex 1 . The same ester, after alkylation, afforded the dicationic complex bis(μ‐methanethiolato)tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)dipalladium(2+) bis(tetrafluoroborate) ( 2 ) from the same palladium source. A related thiolato‐bridged complex, bis(μ‐methanethiolato)bis(1‐methylpyridin‐2(1H)‐ylidene)bis(triphenylphosphine)dipalladium(2+) bis(tetrafluoroborate) ( 4 ) and the trinuclear cluster tris(μ‐methanethiolato)tris(triphenylphosphine)tripalladium(+)(3Pd? Pd) ( 5 ) resulted from treatment of a known cationic pyridinylidene complex with MeSLi. The double oxidative substitution reaction of [Pd(PPh₃)₄] with 1,5‐dichloro‐9,10‐anthraquinone afforded trans‐dichloro[μ‐(9,10‐dihydro‐9,10‐dioxoanthracene‐1,5‐diyl)]tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)dipalladium ( 6 ). Some of these complexes could be fully characterized by ¹H‐, ¹³C‐, and ³¹P‐NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. The crystal and molecular structures of all of them, and of trans‐bis(1,3‐dihydro‐1,3‐dimethyl‐2H‐imidazol‐2‐ylidene)diiodopalladium ( 3 ), were determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction.     

Fluoride removal from water by chitosan derivatives and composites: A review

Fluoride is an essential element, indispensable for maintenance of dental health. Nevertheless, fluoride concentrations in drinking water above 1.5 mg L⁻¹ may be detrimental to human health. Many methods have been developed for removing excessive fluoride from drinking water, adsorption seems to be an effective, environmentally friendly and economical one. Since the sorption capacity of fluoride below 2 mg L⁻¹ on most conventional adsorbents is not satisfactory, much effort has been devoted to develop new and cost-effective fluoride adsorbents. This review reports the recent developments in the F⁻ removal in water treatment, using chitosan derivatives and composites in order to provide useful information about the different technologies. When possibly the adsorption capacity of chitosan derivatives and composites under different experimental conditions is reported to help to compare the efficacy of the fluoride removal process. A comparison with the adsorption capacity of other low cost adsorbents is also tabled.     

Synthesis and Photophysical Properties of 1,1,4,4-Tetracyanobutadienes Derived from Ynamides Bearing Fluorophores**

1,1,4,4-Tetracyanobutadienes (TCBDs) bearing a large diversity of fluorophores were prepared following a multi-step synthesis. In a crucial last step, all compounds were obtained from the corresponding ynamides, which were particularly suitable for the formation of the TCBDs in the presence of tetracyanoethylene via a [2+2] cycloaddition/retroelectrocyclization step (CA-RE). Several fluorenyl derivatives in addition to phenanthrenyl and terphenyl ones provided ynamide-based TCBDs affording remarkable emission properties covering a large range of wavelengths. Those compounds emit both in solid state and in solution from the visible region to the NIR range, depending on the molecular structures. Quantum yields in cyclohexane reached unforeseen values for such derivatives, up to 7.8 %. A huge sensitivity to the environment of the TCBDs has also been unraveled for most of the compounds since we observed a dramatic fall of the quantum yields when changing the solvent from cyclohexane to toluene, while they are almost non-emissive in dichloromethane.     

Practical Synthesis of Dendritic Hyperbranched Polyacrylates and Their Topological Block Polymers by Organotellurium-Mediated Emulsion Polymerization in Water**

The practical synthesis of structurally controlled hyperbranched polymers (HBPs) by organotellurium-mediated radical polymerization (TERP) in water under emulsion conditions is reported. Copolymerization of vinyltelluride named evolmer, which induces controlled branch structure, and acrylates with TERP chain transfer agent (CTA) in water afforded HBPs having dendron structure. The molecular weight, dispersity, branch number, and branch length of the HBPs were controlled by changing the amount of CTA, evolmer, and acrylate monomers. HB-poly(butyl acrylate)s (HBPBAs) with up to the 8^th generation having an average of 255 branches were successfully synthesized. As the monomer conversion reached nearly quantitative and the obtained polymer particles were well dispersed in water, the method is highly suitable for synthesizing topological block polymers, block polymers consisting of different topologies. Thus, linear-block-HB, HB-block-linear, and HB-block-HB-PBAs with the controlled structure were successfully synthesized by adding the second monomer(s) to the macro-CTA. The intrinsic viscosity of the resulting homo- and topological block PBAs was systematically controlled by the degree of the branch, the branch length, and the topology. Therefore, the method opens the possibility of obtaining various HBPs with diverse branch structures and tuning the polymer properties by the polymer topology.     

Indol-2-ylidene (IdY): Ambiphilic N-Heterocyclic Carbene Derived from Indole**

The synthesis of ambiphilic N-heterocyclic carbene ligand, indol-2-ylidene (IdY, A ), is described. A series of indolenium precursors ( 2 a – f ) were prepared on a gram scale in good yields. Trapping experiments with elemental selenium, [RhCl(cod)]₂ and CuCl provided the expected carbene adducts. Further computational and spectroscopic studies supported the ambiphilicity of IdY, which lies between cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbenes (CAAC-5) and cyclic (amino)(aryl)carbene (CAArC). The copper complexes ( 6 ) show high percent buried volume (% V_bur = 58.1) and allow for carboboration of terminal alkynes within 30 minutes in a demonstration of synthetic utility with good yields and high regioselectivity.     

A Journey towards Salivary Fluoride Level Detection by Suitable Low Cost Chemosensor: From Molecule to Product

Fluoride is a ubiquitous anion and essential for us owing to its ability to protect human body from several health related issues. The safe limit of Fluoride ion for human body is 1.5 ppm, above it the ion becomes toxic and can cause dental‐skeletal fluorosis or urolithiasis. Several countries are facing such health hazard owing to the naturally abundant excess fluoride in ground water. As a consequence, habitants of such fluoride enriched zone needs to monitor the concentration of fluoride in their body by periodic analysis. In this regard, development of a chemosensor which can detect fluoride from human body fluid at easy‐instant‐economic way is an obvious mandate. For the first time, our group has developed a sensor kit and sensor station device as a deliverable product for individual and batch scale detection of salivary fluoride level by colorimetric method. The sensor station is the first device made by interfacing chemical output with electronics and the encrypted signal in digital version could be used as a level of fluoride in saliva. Our journey towards the development of suitable chemosensor for recognition of fluoride from human body fluid is summarized in this account.     

Comprehensive Study of the Enhanced Reactivity of Turbo-Grignard Reagents**

Since its introduction in 2004, Knochel's so called Turbo-Grignard reagents revolutionized the usage of Grignard reagents. Through the simple addition of LiCl to a magnesium alkyl an outstanding increase in reactivity can be achieved. Though the exact composition of the reactive species remained mysterious, the reactive mixture itself is readily used not only in synthesis but also found its way into more distant fields like material science. To unravel this mystery, we combined single-crystal X-ray diffraction with in-solution NMR-spectroscopy and closed our investigations with quantum chemical calculations. Using such a variety of methods, we have gained insight into and an explanation for the extraordinary reactivity of this extremely convenient reagent by determining the structure of the first bimetallic reactive species [t-Bu₂Mg ⋅ LiCl ⋅ 4 thf] with two tert-butyl anions at the magnesium center and incorporated lithium chloride.     

Fluoride adsorption enhancement of Calcined-Kaolin/Hydroxyapatite composite

The use of waste or natural resources is an interesting approach to preparing adsorbent materials. Most adsorption materials are powder-based, making them impractical for a variety of applications. In this work, the natural kaolin clay and hydroxyapatite synthesized from biogenic waste were studied as defluoridation materials. The point of zero charge (pH_PZC), the fluoride adsorption capability and the adsorption isotherm of calcined kaolin and mixed calcined kaolin/hydroxyapatite in both powdered and moulded forms were investigated. The hardness of the moulded (post-formed) samples was tested before and after in immersion in a fluoride solution. The maximum hardness was 15.8 kilo-pounds for the post-formed calcined kaolin sample. Sample hardness values slightly decreased after immersion in a fluoride solution due to the formation of micro-cracks. Most samples presented high pH_PZC values, implying that these materials are suitable for the capture of fluoride anions. The adsorption properties varied with the ratio of calcined kaolin to hydroxyapatite. These properties for post-formed samples were different from those in powdered form. Post-formed samples showed higher fluoride adsorption. The maximum fluoride adsorption capacity and efficiency of the post-formed samples (calcined kaolin) at pH 3 were 1.74 F^? mg/g and 87%, respectively. The sorption of fluoride of hydroxyapatite and mixed calcined kaolin/hydroxyapatite powders was found to have the form of the Langmuir isotherm, which indicates a monolayer adsorption on the adsorbent surface. Isotherms of calcined kaolin powder, post-formed calcined kaolin and mixed calcined kaolin/hydroxyapatite samples followed the Freundlich isotherm, which indicates multilayer adsorption on a heterogenous adsorbent surface.     

Performance and Mechanisms of Fluoride Removal from Groundwater by Lanthanum-aluminum-loaded Hydrothermal Palygorskite Composite

Lanthanum-aluminum loaded hydrothermal palygorskite(La-Al-HP) composite was prepared and selected as adsorbent for the fluoride removal from simulated groundwater. The adsorbent was characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM), Brunauer-Emmet-Teller(BET) analysis, X-ray diffraction(XRD) analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). SEM visualization shows that the dense surface structure of raw HP appeared loose and presented micro canals after modification. The BET analysis also proved the specific surface area of La-Al-HP composite(95.58 m²/g) was higher than that of the raw HP(34.31 m²/g). Subsequently, the adsorption capacity of La-Al-HP composite was demonstrated in adsorption experiments. The kinetics of fluoride ion adsorption into La-Al-HP composite followed the pseudo-second order with a correlation coefficient of 0.997. The isotherm data was well fitted with the Langmuir model. The monolayer adsorption capacity of La-Al-HP composite was 1.30 mg/g. The XRD and XPS results reveal that the La³⁺ and Al³⁺ ions were loaded on the surface of modified HP and the fluoride ion was adsorbed onto the La-Al-HP composite. A large amount of La-Al-O composite oxide existing on the surface of La-Al-HP composite might be the immanent cause for the excellent adsorption capacity of fluoride ions.     

Generation of “Naked” Fluoride Ions in Unprecedentedly High Concentrations from a Fluoropalladium Complex
