Reversible addition of ethylene to a pincer-based boryl-iridium unit with the formation of a bridging ethylidene

This report examines reactions of a series of Ir complexes supported by the diarylboryl/bis(phosphine) PBP pincer ligand with ethylene: (PBP)IrH₄ (1), (PBP)IrH₂(CO) (2), and (PBP)Ir(CO)₂ (3). The outcomes of these reactions differ from those typical for Ir complexes supported by other pincer ligands and do not give rise to simple ethylene adducts or products of insertion of Ir into the C–H bond of ethylene. Instead, the elements of ethylene are incorporated into the molecules to result in B–C bonds. In the case of 2 and 3, ethylene addition results in the formation of B/Ir bridging ethylidene complexes 5 and 6. For 6, the addition of ethylene (and the analogous addition of 1-hexene) is shown to be partially reversible. Addition of ethylene to 2 and 3 is remarkable because they are saturated at Ir and yet the net outcome is such that ethylene binds without replacing any ligands already present. A mechanistic inquiry suggests that dissociation of CO from 3 or 6 is necessary in order for the addition or loss of ethylene to proceed.

(PBP)Ir pincer complexes containing a boryl-iridium linkage reversibly bind ethylene as an ethylidene bridging B and Ir.     

6-Oxy-(N-succinimidyl acetate)-9-(2'-methoxycarbonyl)fluorescein as a new fluorescent labeling reagent for aliphatic amines in environmental and food samples using high-performance liquid chromatography

6-Oxy-(N-succinimidyl acetate)-9-(2'-methoxycarbonyl)fluorescein (SAMF), a new fluorescein-based amine-reactive fluorescent probe was well designed, synthesized and used as a pre-column derivatizing reagent for the determination of aliphatic amines in HPLC. It exhibited relatively pH-independent fluorescence (pH 4-9) and excellent photostability. The derivatization was performed at room temperature in 6min. On a C18 column, the derivatives of SAMF with eight aliphatic amines were baseline separated in 28 min with a mobile phase of methanol-water (57:43, v/v) containing 10 mmol l(-1) pH 5.0, H3Cit3-NaOH buffer. With fluorescent detection at lambda(ex)/lambda(em) = 484/516 nm, the detection limit could reach 2-320 fmol (signal-to-noise = 3), which was equivalent to or better than the detection limits obtained from other analytical methods of aliphatic amines. The proposed method has been applied to the determination of the aliphatic amines in environmental and food samples such as lake water, red wine, white wine, and cheese with satisfying recoveries varying from 95 to 106%.

用原子吸收法或极谱法测定了对例慢性肾炎病人（A组）和24例慢性肾衰病人(B组)及40名健康人（对照组，C组）全血中的Fe、Zn、Cu、Mn、Se、Pb和Ga含量。结果表明，A组与C组比较．血中Fe的含量A组明显低于C组（P＜0.05），Zn、Mn和Se的含量A组均非常明显低于C组（P＜0.01），Pb含量A组非常明显高于C组（P＜0．01），Cu和Ca含量两组间均无明显差异（P＞0.05）；B组与C组比较，Fe含量B组明显低于C组（P＜0.06），Se含量则B组明显高于C组（P＜0.05）；Zn、Mn、Cu、Ga含量B组均非常明显低于C组（P＜0.01），而Pb含量则B组非常明显高于C组（P＜0．01）。     

Coriatone and corianlactone, two novel sesquiterpenes from Coriaria nepalensis

Both coriatone (1). a novel highly oxygenated picrotoxane-type sesquiterpene, and corianlactone (2). with an unprecedented sesquiterpene basic skeleton, named coriane, were isolated from Coriaria nepalensis Wall. The structures of 1 and 2 were determined by analysis of their two-dimensional NMR data, and the structure of 2 was confirmed by X-ray analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 showed no remarkable inhibitory activity toward K(562) cells. They are cytotoxic with IC(50) > 50 microg/mL (cis-platinim: IC(50) = 0.49 microg/mL).     

Luminescence 3D-ordered porous materials composed of CdSe and CdTe nanocrystals

The luminescence porous materials of CdTe or CdSe nanocrystals (NCs) were prepared by filling the corresponding NCs into the voids of colloidal crystal by co-deposition of polymer beads and NCs. After removing the beads with tetrahydrofuran (THF), the 3D-ordered porous materials of CdTe (or CdSe) NCs were obtained. The wavelength of maximum photoluminescence of the NCs porous material shows obvious red shift compared with their aqueous dispersion. Under the excitation of high-energy electron the porous materials of CdTe and CdSe NCs will emit photons that can be collected to form a cathode luminescence (CL) image.     

Band structure studies on crystalline C60, Ca3C60, and Ca5C60

The three-dimensional EHMO crystal orbital calculations for crystalline C₆₀, Ca₃C₆₀, and Ca₅C₆₀ are reported. The ground states of both undoped solid C₆₀ and partially doped Ca₃C₆₀ are found to be insulating with an indirect energy gap of 1.2 and 0.5 eV, respectively. In contrast, Ca₅C₆₀ forms a metallic conducting phase with a set of three half-filled bands crossing the Fermi level, which is found to be located close to a peak of the density of state. The character of crystal orbitals near the Fermi level for both Ca₃C₆₀ and Ca₅C₆₀ is completely carbonlike. In both cases, the Ca atoms are almost fully ionized and C₆₀ molecules form a stable negative charge state with six to 10 additional electrons. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Synthesis and photoluminescence of single crystals europium ion-doped BaF2 cubic nanorods

In this work, we used the hydrothermal method to synthesize Eu³⁺ ion-doped cubic BaF₂ nanorods, which is a luminescent material. The clubbed structures were well crystallized and exhibited face-centred cubic structures, as indicated by powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, electron diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. The luminescent properties were studied, and local symmetry surrounding Eu³⁺ ions and electronic transition processes included. The results indicated that Eu³⁺ occupied only one C_4ν site in nanorods.     

Phase and orientational ordering of low molecular weight rod molecules in a quenched liquid crystalline polymer matrix with mobile side chains

We study the phase diagram and orientational ordering of guest liquid crystalline (LC) rods immersed in a quenched host made of a liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) matrix with mobile side chains. The LCP matrix lies below the glass transition of the polymer backbone. The side chains are mobile and can align to the guest rod molecules in a plane normal to the local LCP chain contour. A field theoretic formulation for this system is proposed and the effects of the LCP matrix on LC ordering are determined numerically. We obtain simple analytical equations for the nematic/isotropic phase diagram boundaries. Our calculation show a nematic-nematic (N/N) first order transition from a guest stabilized to a guest-host stabilized region and the possibility of a reentrant transition from a guest stabilized nematic region to a host only stabilized regime separated by an isotropic phase. A detailed study of thermodynamic variables and interactions on orientational ordering and phases is carried out and the relevance of our predictions to experiments and computer simulations is presented.
