We herein report the tunable self-assembly of simple block copolymers, namely polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (PS-b-PEO) diblock copolymers, into porous cubosomes with inverse or mesophases of controlled unit cell parameters as well as hexasomes with an inverse hexagonal (p6mm) structure, which have been rarely observed in polymer self-assembly. A new morphological phase diagram was constructed for the solution self-assembly of PS-b-PEO based on the volume fraction of the PS block against the initial copolymer concentration. The formation mechanisms of the cubosomes and hexasomes have also been revealed. This study not only affords a simple system for the controllable preparation and fundamental studies of ordered bicontinuous structures, but also opens up a new avenue towards porous architectures with highly ordered pores. 相似文献
The self‐assembly of a rod–coil amphiphilic block copolymer (ABCP) led to Im m and Pn m polymer cubosomes and p6mm polymer hexasomes. This is the first time that these structures are observed in a rod–coil system. By varying the hydrophobic chain length, the initial concentration of the polymer solution, or the solubility parameter of the mixed solvent, head–tail asymmetry is adjusted to control the formation of polymer cubosomes or hexasomes. The formation mechanism of the polymer cubosomes was also studied. This research opens up a new way for further study of the bicontinuous and inverse phases in different ABCP systems. 相似文献
A joint theoretical and experimental study on 32 endohedral silafullerane derivatives [X@Si20Y20]− (X=F-I; Y=F-I, H, Me, Et) and -[Cl@Si20H12Y8]− (Y=F-I) is presented. First, we evaluated the structure-determining template effect of Cl− in a systematic series of concave silapolyquinane model systems. Second, we investigated the X−→Si20 interaction energy ( ) as a function of X− and Y and found the largest values for electron-withdrawing exohedral substituents Y. Given that X− ions can be considered as Lewis bases and empty Si20Y20 clusters as Lewis acids, we classify our inseparable host–guest complexes [X@Si20Y20]− as “confined Lewis pairs”. Third, 35Cl NMR spectroscopy proved to be highly diagnostic for an experimental assessment of the Cl−→Si20 interaction as the paramagnetic shielding and, in turn, (35Cl) of the endohedral Cl− ion correlate inversely with . Finally, we disclose the synthesis of [PPN][Cl@Si20Y20] (Y=Me, Et, Br) and provide a thorough characterization of these new silafulleranes. 相似文献
Complex [PtMe2(PMe2Ar )] ( 1 ), which contains a tethered terphenyl phosphine (Ar =2,6‐(2,6‐i Pr2C6H3)2C6H3), reacts with [H(Et2O)2]BArF (BArF−=B[3,5‐(CF3)2C6H3]4−) to give the solvent (S) complex [PtMe(S)(PMe2Ar )]+ ( 2⋅S ). Although the solvent molecule is easily displaced by a Lewis base (e.g., CO or C2H4) to afford the corresponding adducts, treatment of 2⋅S with C2H2 yielded instead the allyl complex [Pt(η3‐C3H5)(PMe2Ar )]+ ( 6 ) via the alkyne intermediate [PtMe(η2‐C2H2)(PMe2Ar )]+ ( 5 ). Deuteration experiments with C2D2, and kinetic and theoretical investigations demonstrated that the conversion of 5 into 6 involves a PtII‐promoted HC≡CH to :C=CH2 tautomerization in preference over acetylene migratory insertion into the Pt−Me bond. 相似文献
The first rhodium(I)‐catalyzed enantioselective intermolecular C –H activation of various saturated aza‐heterocycles including tetrahydroquinolines, piperidines, piperazines, azetidines, pyrrolidines, and azepanes is presented. The combination of a rhodium(I) precatalyst and a chiral monodentate phosphonite ligand is shown to be a powerful catalytic system to access a variety of important enantio‐enriched heterocycles from simple starting materials. Notably, the C –H activation of tetrahydroquinolines is especially challenging due to the adjacent C −H bond. This redox‐neutral methodology provides a new synthetic route to α‐N‐arylated heterocycles with high chemoselectivity and enantioselectivity up to 97 % ee. 相似文献
Hyperbranched polymer formation during step polymerization of AB2 type monomer with equal reactivity of two B's is investigated theoretically, focusing the attention to the degree of branching (DB) and the mean square radius of gyration for the unperturbed chains, . It is found that the DB‐value at large degree of polymerization (P) limit, = 0.5 is unchanged during the whole course of polymerization. The average value of having the same P is invariant throughout the polymerization. The universal curve between and P agrees perfectly with that for the self‐condensing vinyl polymerization (SCVP), another method to synthesize hyperbranched polymers, when the reactivity ratio for SCVP, rSCVP, is 2.589 that gives = 0.5. The power law, is found for large values of P.
Inorganic macrocycles, based on non‐carbon backbones, present exciting synthetic challenges in the systematic assembly of inorganic molecules, as well as new avenues in host–guest and supramolecular chemistry. Here we demonstrate a new high‐yielding modular approach to a broad range of trimeric and hexameric S‐ and Se‐bridged inorganic macrocycles based on cyclophosphazane frameworks, using the building blocks [S=(H)P(μ‐NR)]2. The method involves the in situ generation of the key intermediate [E (S )P(μ‐NR)]22−(E=S, Se) dianion, which can be reacted with electrophilic [ClP(μ‐NR)]2 to give PIII/PV hexameric rings or reacted with I2 to give trimeric PV variants. Important issues which are highlighted in this work are the competitive bridging ability of S versus Se in these systems and the synthesis of the first air‐stable and chiral inorganic macrocycles. 相似文献

This protocol is characterized by its wide scope, including challenging combinations, thus enabling access to versatile building blocks and orthogonal C−heteroatom bond formations. 相似文献
The one electron systems H, H , and HeH confined by an impenetrable spheroidal cavity are revisited in the frame of the Lagrange‐mesh method. The Born–Oppenheimer approximation where the nuclei are clamped at the foci is considered. Benchmark results of the total energy are obtained as a function of the interfocal distance R and the eccentricity of the cavity . Dipole oscillator strengths are calculated for the molecular ions H and HeH . 相似文献
Energy eigenvalues of nonautoionizing doubly excited states originating from 2pnf ( ) configuration of two‐electron atoms have been calculated by expanding the basis set in explicitly correlated Hylleraas coordinates under the framework of Ritz variational method. A detailed discussion on the evaluation of correlated basis integrals is given. The energy eigenvalues of a number of these doubly excited states are being reported for the first time especially for the high lying states. The effective quantum numbers ( ) for the states mentioned above have been calculated by using the theory of quantum defect. 相似文献
Materials in the family of Prussian blue analogues (C3H5N2)2K[ M (CN)6], where C3H5N2 is the imidazolium ion and M =Fe, Co, undergo two phase transitions with temperature; at low temperatures the imidazolium cations have an ordered configuration (C 2/c ), while in the intermediate‐ and high‐temperature phases (both previously reported as ) they are dynamically disordered. We show from high‐resolution powder neutron diffraction data that the high‐temperature phase has zero area thermal expansion in the ab ‐plane. Supported by Landau theory and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction data, we re‐evaluate the space group symmetry of the intermediate‐temperature phase to . This reveals that the low‐to‐intermediate temperature transition is due to competition between two different tilt patterns of the [ M (CN)6]3− ions. Controlling the relative stabilities of these tilt patterns offers a potential means to tune the exploitable electric behaviour that arises from motion of the imidazolium guest. 相似文献
Linear poly(4‐tert‐butoxystyrene)‐b‐poly(4‐vinylpyridine) (PtBOS‐b‐P4VP) diblock copolymers are synthesized using reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer polymerization. The self‐assembly of four different PtBOS‐b‐P4VP diblock copolymers is studied using small‐angle X‐ray scattering and transmission electron microscopy and a number of interesting observations are made. A tBOS62‐b‐4VP28 diblock copolymer with a weight fraction P4VP of 0.21 shows a disordered morphology of P4VP spheres with liquid‐like short‐range order despite an estimated value of of the order of 50. Increasing the length of the 4VP block to tBOS62‐b‐4VP199 results in a diblock copolymer with a weight fraction P4VP of 0.66. It forms a remarkably well‐ordered lamellar structure. Likewise, a tBOS146‐b‐4VP120 diblock copolymer with a weight fraction P4VP of 0.33 forms an extremely well‐ordered hexagonal structure of P4VP cylinders. Increasing the P4VP block of this block copolymer to tBOS146‐b‐4VP190 with a weight fraction P4VP of 0.44 results in a bicontinuous gyroid morphology despite the estimated strong segregation of . These results are discussed in terms of the architectural dissimilarity of the two monomers, characterized by the presence of the large side group of PtBOS, and the previously reported value of the interaction parameter, , for this polymer pair.
A T‐shaped NiI complex was synthesized using a rigid acridane‐based pincer ligand to prepare a metalloradical center. Structural data displays a nickel ion is embedded in the plane of a PNP ligand. Having a sterically exposed half‐filled orbital, this three‐coordinate NiI species reveals unique open‐shell reactivity including the homolytic cleavage of various σ‐bonds, such as H−H, N−N, and C−C. 相似文献
The time‐lag problem is treated for absorptive penetration across a heterogeneous membrane, where both the diffusivity D (x ) and the partition coefficient K (x ) depend on the coordinate x (0 ≦ x ≦ h ), with 0 and h being the coordinates of the upstream and downstream faces, respectively. A new concept of time‐lag distribution is introduced, and the first (time) moment and the second (time) moment over this distribution are also difined and treated in the Lapalce domain in conjuction with the Green's function G (x ,y ), and eigenvalues associated with the time‐independent diffusion equation subject to the absorbing boundary condition at both ends of the membrane. Our central results include and , where λ i is the i th eigenvalue of the aforementioned diffusion equation. The merits of these new resprentations and comparison with the treatments of Frisch or Eyring are also discussed. 相似文献
