Synthesis and Reaction of the First 1,2‐Oxaphosphetane Complexes

While P^V 1,2‐oxaphosphetanes are well known from the Wittig reaction, their P^III analogues are still unexplored. Herein, the synthesis and reactions of the first 1,2‐oxaphosphetane complexes are presented, which were achieved by reaction of the phosphinidenoid complex [Li(12‐crown‐4)(solv)][(OC)₅W{(Me₃Si)₂HCPCl}] with different epoxides. The title compounds appeared to be stable in toluene up to 100 °C, before unselective decomposition started. Acid‐induced ring expansion with benzonitrile resulted in selective formation of the first complex bearing a 1,3,4‐oxazaphosphacyclohex‐2‐ene ligand.

A comparative study of mid-infrared diffuse reflection (DR) and attenuated total reflection (ATR) spectroscopy for the detection of fungal infection on RWA2-corn

An investigation into the rapid detection of mycotoxin-producing fungi on corn by two mid-infrared spectroscopic techniques was undertaken. Corn samples from a single genotype (RWA2, blanks, and contaminated with Fusarium graminearum) were ground, sieved and, after appropriate sample preparation, subjected to mid-infrared spectroscopy using two different accessories (diffuse reflection and attenuated total reflection). The measured spectra were evaluated with principal component analysis (PCA) and the blank and contaminated samples were classified by cluster analysis. Reference data for fungal metabolites were obtained with conventional methods. After extraction and clean-up, each sample was analyzed for the toxin deoxynivalenol (DON) by gas chromatography with electron capture detection (GC-ECD) and ergosterol (a parameter for the total fungal biomass) by high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD). The concentration ranges for contaminated samples were 880–3600 g/kg for ergosterol and 300–2600 g/kg for DON. Classification efficiency was 100% for ATR spectra. DR spectra did not show as obvious a clustering of contaminated and blank samples. Results and trends were also observed in single spectra plots. Quantification using a PLS1 regression algorithm showed good correlation with DON reference data, but a rather high standard error of prediction (SEP) with 600 g/kg (DR) and 490 g/kg (ATR), respectively, for ergosterol. Comparing measurement procedures and results showed advantages for the ATR technique, mainly owing to its ease of use and the easier interpretation of results that were better with respect to classification and quantification.     

氟利昂F113分子在飞秒激光作用下的多光子电离解离动力学

大气臭氧层因吸收太阳紫外光, 是人类必不可少的保护伞. 氟利昂在太阳光辐射下解离生成破坏臭氧的游离态氯原子, 是破坏大气臭氧层的主要元凶之一. 本文利用飞行时间质谱技术和离子速度成像技术研究了氟利昂F113(三氟三氯乙烷)分子在800 nm 飞秒光作用下的多光子电离解离动力学. 利用飞行时间质谱探测技术, 得到了三氟三氯乙烷在该波长飞秒激光作用下发生多光子电离解离产生的碎片质谱. 通过荷质比对碎片质谱进行了详细的标定和分析. 在质谱上未发现母体离子, 所有观察到的离子都是由于激光脉冲作用下产生的碎片. 三个最主要的碎片离子是CFCl₂⁺, CF₂Cl⁺, C₂F₃Cl₂⁺. 通过飞行时间质谱标定, 发现并归属了多个解离通道. 三个主要的解离机理分别为: 1) C-Cl键断裂直接生产氯自由基的通道C₂F₃Cl₃⁺→C₂F₃Cl₂⁺+Cl; 2) C--C键断裂C₂F₃Cl₃⁺→CFCl₂⁺+CF₂Cl; 3) C--C键断裂C₂F₃Cl₃⁺→CF₂Cl⁺+CFCl₂. 利用离子速度成像技术对这三个主要通道产生的碎片离子进行成像, 得到了C₂F₃Cl₂⁺, CFCl₂⁺和CF₂Cl⁺离子的速度影像. 由C--Cl键断裂产生的碎片离子C₂F₃Cl₂^{+}的速度分布由两个高斯分布曲线拟合, 而由C--C键断裂产生的碎片离子CFCl₂⁺和CF₂Cl⁺可以用一个高斯曲线拟合. 通过影像分析得到了解离碎片的平动能分布和角向分布各向异性参数等详尽的动力学信息. 结合高精度密度泛函理论计算对解离动力学进行了进一步的分析和讨论.深入认识氟利昂的解离动力学可为进一步控制破坏臭氧层提供理论参考和实验依据.     

Ricci flow of negatively curved incomplete surfaces

We show uniqueness of Ricci flows starting at a surface of uniformly negative curvature, with the assumption that the flows become complete instantaneously. Together with the more general existence result proved in [10], this settles the issue of well-posedness in this class.
