Halide abstraction from [(Ph3P)2Rh(μ‐Cl)]2 by the sodium salt of the weakly coordinating [BArf4]? anion [Arf = C6H3(CF3)2‐3,5] in the presence of excess arene offers a convenient, high‐yielding route to the half‐sandwich cations [(arene)Rh(PPh3)2]+[BArf4]? [arene = benzene ( 1 ), toluene ( 2 )]. Crystalline samples of 1 and 2 are isomorphous [a = 13.1270(2), b = 15.3030(2), c = 17.5760(3) Å, α = 74.620(1), β = 81.533(1), γ = 88.540(1)° for 1 ] and feature the arene ligand bound to the rhodium atom in η6 fashion. 相似文献
Kinetic properties of pig heart citrate synthase immobilized on Sepharose were determined. Compared to the free enzyme the Km values for both acetyl-CoA and oxalacetate were increased. The kinetic pattern of the Lineweaver-Burk plots of both substrates for the immobilized enzyme was that of lines intersecting on thex axis. This is the same as that obtained for the free enzyme and indicates that there is no change in the kinetic mechanism of the reaction. The pH response and the Arrhenius plot of both the immobilized and free enzyme were the same. The enzymes show a break in their Arrhenius plots. The immobilized enzyme exhibits greater heat stability than does the free enzyme. 相似文献
In CO2 transformation catalysis, the synthesis of cyclic carbonates using two classes of MOF catalysts viz., zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF) and MOFs with carboxylate-capped SBUs have gained large attention. Herein we propose the strategy of employing a unified multifunctional framework formed in the metal-centered assembly of imidazole and amino-carboxylates for CO2 transformation, such as propylene carbonate (PC) by the cycloaddition of CO2 with propylene oxide. The framework {[Cu(L-asp)(1,4-bix)0.5]·3H2O}n (CuAspBix) comprises of the amino acid building units, L-aspartic acid (L-Asp) and the flexible ligand, 1,4-bis(imidazole-1-yl methyl)benzene [1,4-Bix]. The 1,4-Bix ligand with imidazole terminals renders elongated M-M distances and flexibility in comparison with pristine ZIF materials. The cumbersome synthesis procedure poor phase purity of the bulk catalyst in solvothermal conditions were improved by a microwave-assisted synthesis, preserving the structural and physicochemical properties. Minimal energy input or room temperatures for the catalysis occurred via the synergistic participation of CuAspBix and quaternary ammonium bromide salt, demonstrated by density-functional theory computational studies to propose mechanistic pathway of the reaction. Reaction conditions were optimized by altering the parameters. The heterogeneous catalyst was reused four times without a significant change in activity.
The reactivities of the highly electrophilic boranes ClB(C(6)F(5))(2) (1) and [HB(C(6)F(5))(2)](n) (2) towards a range of organometallic reagents featuring metals from Groups 7-10 have been investigated. Salt elimination chemistry is observed 1 between and the nucleophilic anions eta(5)-C(5)R(5))Fe(CO)(2)](-)(R = H or Me) and [Mn(CO)(5)](-), leading to the generation of the novel boryl complexes (eta(5)-C(5)R(5))Fe(CO)(2)B(C(6)F(5))(2)[R = H (3) or Me (4)] and (OC)(5)MnB(C(6)F(5))(2) (5). Such systems are designed to probe the extent to which the strongly sigma-donor boryl ligand can also act as a pi-acceptor; a variety of spectroscopic, structural and computational probes imply that even with such strongly electron withdrawing boryl substituents, the pi component of the metal-boron linkage is a relatively minor one. Similar reactivity is observed towards the hydridomanganese anion [(eta(5)-C(5)H(4)Me)Mn(CO)(2)H](-), generating a thermally labile product identified spectroscopically as (eta(5)-C(5)H(4)Me)Mn(CO)(2)(H)B(C(6)F(5))(2) (6). Boranes 1 and 2 display different patterns of reactivity towards low-valent platinum and rhodium complexes than those demonstrated previously for less electrophilic reagents. Thus, reaction of 1 with (Ph(3)P)(2)Pt(H(2)C=CH(2)) ultimately generates EtB(C(6)F(5))(2) (10) as the major boron-containing product, together with cis-(Ph(3)P)(2)PtCl(2) and trans-(Ph(3)P)(2)Pt(C(6)F(5))Cl (9). The cationic platinum hydride [(Ph(3)P)(3)PtH](+) is identified as an intermediate in the reaction pathway. Reaction of with [(Ph(3)P)(2)Rh(mu-Cl)](2), in toluene on the other hand, appears to proceed via ligand abstraction with both Ph(3)P.HB(C(6)F(5))(2) (11) and the arene rhodium(I) cation [(Ph(3)P)(2)Rh(eta(6)-C(6)H(5)Me)](+) (14) ultimately being formed. 相似文献
The alkylation reaction of 2-mercapto-1-methylimidazole 1a with iodoethane and chlorobutane produced S-alkylmethimazole halides 2a and 2b which were subjected to anion metathesis with two different metal salts (MA) to afford methimazole-based room-temperature ionic liquids 3a, 3b, and 3c in 82%, 85%, and 87% yields, respectively. S-Alkylation giving 2a and 2b suggests that methimazole reacts through the thione tautomer. 相似文献
Cuprous Oxide (Cu2O) is a photocatalyst with severe photocorrosion issues. Theoretically, it can undergo both self‐oxidation (to form copper oxide (CuO)) and self‐reduction (to form metallic copper (Cu)) upon illumination with the aid of photoexcited charges. There is, however, limited experimental understanding of the “dominant” photocorrosion pathway. Both photocorrosion modes can be regulated by tailoring the conditions of the photocatalytic reactions. Photooxidation of Cu2O (in the form of a suspension system), accompanied by corroded morphology, is kinetically favourable and is the prevailing deactivation pathway. With knowledge of the dominant deactivation mode of Cu2O, suppression of self‐photooxidation together with enhancement in its overall photocatalytic performance can be achieved after a careful selection of sacrificial hole (h+) scavenger. In this way, stable hydrogen (H2) production can be attained without the need for deposition of secondary components. 相似文献
Two salen Schiff base ligands derived from the condensation of ethylendiamine on salicylaldehyde and 5-chlorosalicylaldehyde, namely N,N′-bis(salicylidene)ethylene-diamine (L1) and N,N′-bis(5-chlorosalicylidene)ethylene-diamine (L2) as well as two of their iron(III) and nickel(II) complexes, were prepared and then used as doping agents of two thermotropic liquid crystals (LCs) of cyanobiphenyl type, namely 4-cyano-4′-n-pentyl-biphenyl (5CB) and 4-cyano-4′-n-octyl-biphenyl (8CB). The study of the mesophase of pure and doped LCs was carried out by UV–visible spectroscopy equipped with a heating compartment for precise temperature control, differential scanning calorimetry and polarised optical microscopy. The characteristic nematic/isotropic and smectic-A/nematic transition temperatures of 5CB- and 8CB-based systems were measured and then compared to those of the literature concerning pure 5CB and 8CB. Optical microscopy results revealed the existence of Schlieren and focal conic textures of the nematic and smectic states, respectively, both of pure and doped LCs. The homogeneity of the obtained guest–host systems was proven by the linear evolution of their transition temperatures as function of the solute concentration, with correlation factors close to unity. 相似文献
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) measurements were made on thin film (1000 Å) sol-gel adhesion promoting surface treatments. These silicon/zirconium-containing sol-gel coatings are possible replacement processes for traditional surface preparations that use environmentally undesirable and potentially toxic materials. The sol-gels were waterborne mixtures formulated with tetra-n-propoxyzirconium (TPOZ) and a silane, either 3-glycidoxypropyl-trimethoxysilane (GTMS) or 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APS). Results show that dried sol-gel powders formulated with TPOZ or TPOZ + GTMS have longer Zr—O bond lengths (2.18 Å, CN 7 or 8) than the TPOZ + silane + metal substrate samples (2.10 Å, CN 6). The fraction (+/– 0.10) of Zr in a short bonded 6-fold site is highest (0.80) for TPOZ + (APS or GTMS) on (Ti or Al), at an intermediate value (0.40) for TPOZ on Ti and low (0.10) for the powders. For sol-gels deposited on a metal substrate, there are indications of a chemical bond between the thin film sol-gel and the metal substrate. The TPOZ + APS coatings on Ti data suggest that this Zr—O—Ti bond is present with a Zr—Ti separation of 3.5 Å. Only subtle differences were observed in the near-neighbor bonding due to curing treatment variations from room temperature to 125°C, alloy substrate variations (Ti-6Al-4V/Al 2024), and age of the deposited sol-gel coating (up to 1 year). 相似文献
A high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for the analysis of the appetite suppressant mazindol and its metabolite 2-(2-aminoethyl)-3-(p-chlorophenyl)-3-hydroxyphthalimidine (Met) in mouse brain and plasma. The two compounds were quantified by measuring Met after two different sample pretreatments. For mazindol determination, the treatment involved the hydrolysis of mazindol to Met, by incubating the sample at 80 °C for 15 min at pH 10.6 followed by liquid-liquid extraction procedure while for the determination of Met, the hydrolysis step was omitted. The obtained Met was analyzed by HPLC after its derivatization with the fluorescent reagent 4-(4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)benzoyl chloride (DIB-Cl). The separation was performed on an ODS column with mobile phase consisted of a mixture of acetonitrile-methanol-0.1 M acetic acid (46:4:50, v/v/v) containing tetrahydrofuran (6%). The effluent was monitored at excitation and emission wavelengths of 330 and 445 nm, respectively. Calibration curves of mazindol and Met ranged from 0.1 to 25 ng/ml and from 0.5 to 250 ng/g in spiked mouse plasma and brain tissue, respectively. The method is highly sensitive with the limits of detection for Met on column of 2.8 and 3.5 fmol in plasma and brain, respectively, at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. The intra- and inter-day precisions were less than 4.5 and 9.7%, in plasma and less than 8.8 and 7.2% in brain, respectively. The developed method was applied for the monitoring of mazindol and Met levels in mouse plasma and brain tissue regions after single intraperitoneal administration of mazindol, 0.5 mg/kg. 相似文献
