Copper‐catalyzed asymmetric 1,4‐conjugate addition of dialkylzinc to enones

Asymmetric 1,4‐conjugation addition of dialkylzinc (diethylzinc and dimethylzinc) to cyclic enones, chalcone and nitroalkenes was achieved by a 25 mol% (R)‐6,6′‐Br₂‐BINOL( 1f ), 25 mol% CuSPh and 100 mol% dicyclohexylmethylamin(Cy₂NMe) catalyst system. The Cu(I) catalyst system enables the cyclic enone, chalcone and nitroalkene generality with high enantioselectivity (up to 84% ee) and isolated yield (up to 94%) under mild reaction conditions.

Thermodynamic and kinetic properties of <Emphasis Type="Italic">cis</Emphasis>-diammineglycolatoplatinum in different water solvents

The dissolution behavior of cis-diammineglycolatoplatinum (nedaplatin) in saline, water and glucose were studied by a microcalorimetric method. The integral heats and differential heats of the dissolution were measured to establish the equation for the solute and the heats. The corresponding half-life, kinetic and thermodynamic properties of the nedaplatin solutions were determined. The results show that hydrogen bonds could be generated and the dissolution entropy of nedaplatin in different solvents is negative during the dissolution process, so as to enhance the drug stability, but there is an obvious difference in stability in different solvents.     

Synthesis, characterization and luminescence property of N,N'-di(pyridine N-oxide-2-yl)pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide and corresponding lanthanide (III) complexes

A new ligand, N,N'-di(pyridine N-oxide-2-yl)pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide (LH2) and its several lanthanide (III) complexes (La, Eu, Gd, Tb, Y) were synthesized and characterized in detail based on elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, IR, 1H NMR, MS (FAB) and UV spectra and TG-DTA studies. The results indicated that the composition of these binary complexes is [Ln(LH2)(NO3)2.H2O]NO3.nH2O (n=0-1); while the ligand has a good planar structure with strong hydrogen bonds. The fluorescence spectra exhibits that the Tb (III) complex and the Eu (III) complex display characteristic metal-centered fluorescence in solid state while ligand fluorescence is completely quenched. However, the Tb (III) complex displays more effective luminescence than the Eu (III) complex, which is attributed to especial effectivity in transferring energy from the lowest triplet energy level of the ligands (T) onto the excited state (5D4) of Tb (III) than that (5D1) of Eu (III).     

Anisotropic metal nanoparticles: Synthesis, assembly, and optical applications

This feature article highlights work from the authors' laboratories on the synthesis, assembly, reactivity, and optical applications of metallic nanoparticles of nonspherical shape, especially nanorods. The synthesis is a seed-mediated growth procedure, in which metal salts are reduced initially with a strong reducing agent, in water, to produce approximately 4 nm seed particles. Subsequent reduction of more metal salt with a weak reducing agent, in the presence of structure-directing additives, leads to the controlled formation of nanorods of specified aspect ratio and can also yield other shapes of nanoparticles (stars, tetrapods, blocks, cubes, etc.). Variations in reaction conditions and crystallographic analysis of gold nanorods have led to insight into the growth mechanism of these materials. Assembly of nanorods can be driven by simple evaporation from solution or by rational design with molecular-scale connectors. Short nanorods appear to be more chemically reactive than long nanorods. Finally, optical applications in sensing and imaging, which take advantage of the visible light absorption and scattering properties of the nanorods, are discussed.     

Carnation‐like CuO Hierarchical Nanostructures Assembled by Porous Nanosheets for Nonenzymatic Glucose Sensing

Carnation‐like CuO hierarchical nanostructures assembled by ultrathin porous nanosheets were successfully fabricated via a facile solvothermal route followed with heat treatment. As‐prepared CuO nanostructures exhibited excellent catalytic activity toward glucose oxidation in the absence of any enzymes. Under the optimized conditions, the CuO‐based enzymeless glucose sensor showed high sensitivity of 3.15 mA mM^?1 cm^?2, low limit of detection (98 nM, S/N=3), good reproducibility, excellent selectivity and long‐time stability. The superb nonenzymatic glucose sensing performance of the CuO hierarchical nanostructures was attributed to the highly catalytically active sites at the edges and basal planes of the CuO nanosheets, facile transportation of analytes through the abundant mesopores and macropores, robust and stable hierarchical structure. Moreover, the CuO‐based enzymeless glucose sensor showed high accuracy and reliability in comparison with clinical glucometer for quantitative determination of glucose in human blood serum samples.     

Molecular dynamics simulation and density functional theory insight into the cocrystal explosive of hexaazaisowurtzitane/nitroguanidine

Theoretical methods involving molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and density functional theory were performed to investigate the different molecular ratios, mechanical Properties, structure, trigger bond, and intermolecular interaction of hexaazaisowurtzitane (CL‐20)/nitroguanidine (NQ) cocrystal explosive. Results of MD simulation show that CL‐20 and NQ packed in ratios of 1:1 present the larger binding energy and better mechanical properties than any other molecular ratios, which indicates 1:1 cocrystal can form the stable crystal structure. Shorter length and larger dissociation energy of trigger bond in composite structure than in isolated CL‐20 component suggests that the cocrystal may exhibit less sensitive than CL‐20. Analyses of atoms in molecules, reduced density gradient, and natural bond orbital confirm that intermolecular interactions are mainly derived from a series of weak hydrogen bond and strong vdW forces, involving of NH···O, CH···O, CH···N, O···N, and O···O. Additionally, composite structures of 2 and 3 bringing us more attractive performance will act as a key role in constructing of CL‐20/NQ cocrystal explosive. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Study on the interaction mechanism between aromatic amino acids and quercetin

In this paper, we selected quercetin and aromatic amino acids (tryptophan, tyrosine, phenylalanine) as the research objects to investigate the change rules in the reaction process. The thermodynamic functions (Ka, ΔG, and ΔS) of the interactions between quercetin and aromatic amino acids (tryptophan, tyrosine, phenylalanine) were measured by isothermal titration calorimetry. The values of binding constant (Ka) reached maximum at 25°C; the entropies and Gibbs free energies were both negative at different temperatures. The kinetic parameters of quercetin and amino acids in the interaction process was determined by microcalorimetry. The results inferred that the driving force of the reaction was hydrogen bond or van der Waals force.     

Palladium-catalyzed C–H glycosylation and retro Diels–Alder tandem reaction via structurally modified norbornadienes (smNBDs)

This report describes palladium-catalyzed C–H glycosylation and retro Diels–Alder tandem reaction via structurally modified norbornadienes (smNBDs). smNBDs were proposed to regulate the reactivity of the aryl-norbornadiene-palladacycle (ANP), including its high chemoselectivity and regioselectivity, which were the key to constructing C2 and C3 unsubstituted C4-glycosidic indoles. The scope of this substrate is extensive; the halogenated six-membered and five-membered glycosides were applied to the reaction smoothly, and N-alkyl (primary, secondary and tertiary) C4-glycosidic indoles can also be obtained by this method. In terms of mechanism, the key ANP intermediates characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction and further controlled experiments proved that the migration-insertion of smNBDs with phenylpalladium intermediate endows them with high chemo- and regioselectivity. Finally, density functional theory (DFT) calculation further verified the rationality of the mechanism.
