胆甾-4α-甲基-8-烯-3β，7α-二醇二乙酸酯的结构与性质研究

Lophenol, cholest-4α-methyl-7-en-3β-ol (1), obtained from Dracaena cochinchinensis (Lour.) S. C. Chen, was structurally modified. It was acetylated to protect 3β-hydroxyl group, and then oxidised by selenium dioxide in acetic acid to give cholest-4a-methyl-8-en-3β, Ta-diol diacetate (3). This compound 3 is unstable in chloroform solution or when heated and easily converted to a diene compound, cholest-4a-methyl-7,14-dien-3β-ol acetate (4). The structures of 3 and 4 were elucidated by means of IR, ^1H NMR, ^13C NMR and MS, and the absolute configuration of 3 was established by X-ray crystallography. The property of 3 was also discussed in this paper. Both 3 and 4 are new compounds and were reported for the first time.     

X-H (X = C, N, O, Si, P, S) 键离解能计算的密度泛函方法研究

使用了不同密度泛函方法计算X-H (X = C, N, O, Si, P, S) 键离解能，并分析不同密度泛函方法的计算精度。研究发现大多数密度泛函方法包括B3LYP, B3P86, B3PW91, G96LYP, PBE1PBE，和BH&HLYP都明显低估键离解能13-25 kJ/mol。该现象与是否使用无限基组无关，因为即使使用无限基组键离解能仍然被低估。因此密度泛函方法不适合用于键离解能的估算。其中B3P86方法的偏差最小。进一步分析表明，使用限制性开壳层计算并无任何优势，在大多数情况下非限制性开壳层计算实际上比限制性开壳层计算要好。最后，我们发现了密度泛函方法对键离解能的低估是系统的，因此建议利用校准后的UDFT/6-311++G(d, p)方法计算化学键离解能。     

Fast Multi‐residue Screening for 84 Pesticides in Tea by Gas Chromatography with Dual‐tower Auto‐sampler,Dual‐column and Dual Detectors

A fast multi‐residue screening method for determining pesticides in tea is described. Pesticides are extracted from tea with acetone and methylene chloride, then enriched and cleaned up with solid phase extraction (SPE) prior to gas chromatographic determination. The fast screening is achieved by a gas chromatograph system equipped with dual‐column, dual‐tower auto‐sampler and both electron capture detector (ECD) and flame photometric detector (FPD). Optimal conditions are investigated for the prospective pesticides including column selection, detection mode, the retention behaviors, quantitative calibration, as well as the recoveries and repeatability of pesticides from tea samples. Under the optimal conditions, with the FPD‐P detector accompanied CP‐SIL 13CB column, 48 pesticides can be separated well and detected within 38 min; and with a DB‐5 column, 35 ECD‐detectable pesticides can be separated and detected within 46 min. The recoveries of 84 pesticides in tea samples are 65–120% with 0.34–16% RSD for spiking 0.02–3.0 mg/kg standard species. Because of the thermal instability of most pesticides, direct cold extraction of pesticides from a tea sample is recommended. The proposed method provided a very fast and efficient procedure to screen 84 pesticides from a complicated tea sample matrix.     

Über Münzmetall‐Quecksilber‐Chalkogenidhalogenide. IV1) Hydrothermalsynthese und Kristallstruktur von CuHgSI und CuHg2S2I

On Coinage Metal Mercury Chalcogenide Halides. IV Hydrothermal Synthesis and Crystal Structure of CuHgSI and CuHg₂S₂I The hydrothermal reaction of CuI with α‐HgS in diluted aqueous HI‐solution as solvent at 180 °C yields dark red crystals of CuHgSI. The compound crystallizes orthorhombic in the space group Pna2₁ with a = 718.3(1) pm, b = 834.3(2) pm and c = 698.9(1) pm and Z = 4. CuHg₂S₂I was obtained by the hydrothermal reaction of CuI with α‐HgS in diluted HI‐solution at 300 °C as black crystals. The compound crystallizes orthorhombic in the space group Cmc2₁ with a = 1261.8(3) pm, b = 722.4(1) pm and c = 693.7(1) pm and Z = 4. Both crystal structures could be explained as distorted version of the Wurtzite structure type in which two different types of anion‐lattices are built up.     

The Counterion Effect on the Assembly of Coordination Networks of Cationic (η3‐Allyl)palladium Complexes Containing 3,5‐Dimethyl‐4‐nitro‐1H‐pyrazole

Two new (η³‐allyl)palladium complexes containing the ligand 3,5‐dimethyl‐4‐nitro‐1H‐pyrazole (Hdmnpz) were synthesized and characterized as [Pd(η³‐C₃H₅)(Hdmnpz)₂]BF₄ ( 1 ) and [Pd(η³‐C₃H₅)(Hdmnpz)₂]NO₃ ( 2 ). The structures of these compounds were determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction to evaluate the intermolecular assembly. Each complex exhibits similar coordination behavior consistent with cationic entities comprised of two pyrazole ligands coordinated with the [Pd(η³‐C₃H₅)]⁺ fragment in an almost square‐planar coordination geometry. In 1 , the cationic entities are propagated through strong intermolecular H‐bonds formed between the pyrazole NH groups and BF ions in one‐dimensional polymer chains along the a axis. These chains are extended into two‐dimensional sheet networks via bifurcated H‐bonds. New intermolecular interactions established between NO₂ and Me substituents at the pyrazole ligand of neighboring sheets give rise to a three‐dimensional network. By contrast, compound 2 presents molecular cyclic dimers formed through N? H???O H‐bonds between two NO counterions and the pyrazole NH groups of two cationic entities. The dimers are also connected to each other through C? H???O H‐bonds between the remaining O‐atom of each NO ion and the allyl CH₂ H‐atom. Those interactions expand in a layer which lies parallel to the face (101).

A concept for bifocal contact‐ or intraocular lenses: liquid single crystal hydrogels (“LSCH”)

The synthesis of liquid single crystal hydrogels (“LSCH”) in suitable molds offers an innovative concept to realize bifocal contact‐ or intraocular‐lenses. LSCH combine the properties required for applications as bifocal ophthalmic lenses: the soft and water‐containing hydrogel enables oxygen permeation and exhibits high birefringence due to the liquid crystalline phase structure built up by rigid rod‐like amphiphiles. Via a photo‐initiated crosslinking reaction of aqueous solutions of monomeric lyotropic liquid crystalline amphiphiles in the macroscopically ordered liquid crystalline state, we obtain optically uniaxially ordered and transparent LSCH. The orientation process and the phase structure of the anisotropic hydrogel is analyzed by deuterium NMR‐spectroscopy. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
