Synthesis of a digermane-containing tricylic nonadecadienedione incorporating an equivalent of ring-opened THF

The combination of 2 equiv of bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amide]germylene (5) with 2 equiv of 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione (PTAD) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) results in the ring-opening of 1 equiv of THF to form 2,2,8,8-tetrakis(1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyl-disilazan-2-yl)-5,16-diphenyl-7,9,14-trioxa-1,3,5,16,18,19-hexaaza-2,8-digerma-tricyclo[13.2.1.13,6]nonadeca-6(19),15(18)-diene-4,17-dione (6). This fast and nearly quantitative reaction builds a 15-membered ring from five different molecules. The new ring, structurally assigned by X-ray crystallography, contains a flexible methylene chain that moves rapidly on the NMR time scale.

TEXTURE AND CRYSTALLINITY EVOLUTION IN ISOTACTIC POLYPROPYLENE INDUCED BY ROLLING AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES

The orientation and crystallinity evolution of isotactic polypropylene （iPP） induced by rolling were studied using wide angle X-ray scattering with an area detector. The tensile mechanical properties of rolled isotactic polypropylene sheets were also measured in this work. The texture component method was used to analyze the rolling texture. The rolling texture consists mainly of （010）[001], （130）[001] and [001]//RD fiber components in the sample with a rolling true strain of 1.5. The results reveal that crystallinity drastically decreases during rolling. It is suggested that amorphization is a deformation mechanism which takes place as an alternative to crystallographic intralamellar slip depending on the orientation of the lamellae. Both the orientation and crystallinity affect the tensile mechanical properties of rolled polypropylene. Crystallinity influences the elastic modulus on both directions and yield strength on transverse direction at the first stage of deformation. Orientation is the main reason for the changes of mechanical properties, especially at the latter part of deformation. The changes of both tensile strength and elongation percentage on rolling direction are larger than those on transverse direction, which results from the orientation. At last, the anisotropic mechanical properties occur on the rolling and transverse direction： high tensile strength with low elongation percentage on rolling direction and low tensile strength with high elongation percentage on transverse direction.

在(298.15 ±0.01) K下用转动弹热量计测定了离子液体硫酸乙酯-1-甲基-3-乙基咪唑(EMIES)及合成它的原料1-甲基咪唑的恒容燃烧热,通过计算得到它们的标准燃烧焓 分别为(－2671±2) 和(－286.3±0.5) kJ·mol－1;标准生成焓 分别为(－3060±3) kJ·mol－1和(－2145±4) kJ·mol－1.结合文献上硫酸二乙酯的标准生成焓数据,得到了合成离子液体EMIES的反应热(－102.3±1.0) kJ·mol－1,与合成实验中观察到的强烈放热现象是一致的.根据离子液体EMIES的热容数据,计算了不同温度下EMIES的标准生成焓.     

不同嵌段比的PEG-b-PDMAEMA共聚物在水溶液中的自聚集行为

采用氢核磁共振(¹H-NMR)、动态光散射(DLS)及透射电子显微镜(TEM)对聚乙二醇-嵌段-聚甲基丙烯酸N,N-二甲氨基乙酯(PEG-b-PDMAEMA)三种具有不同PEG/PDMAEMA嵌段比的PEG-b-PDMAEMA共聚物在水溶液中的自聚集行为进行了研究. 研究表明, 两嵌段比例是影响聚合物胶束化过程的关键因素: 只有当其中聚乙二醇含量较低(质量分数低于33%)时, 聚合物才具有其pH/温度敏感胶束化特性. 此外, 共聚物溶液随温度胶束化过程与共聚物嵌段比大小密切相关. PEG-b-PDMAEMA这种不同于传统双亲性嵌段共聚物(DHBCs)在选择性溶剂中独特的胶束化行为, 是由聚合物溶液体系中各种基团之间的氢键作用决定的.     

Regioselective syntheses of 7-nitro-7-deazapurine nucleosides and nucleotides for efficient PCR incorporation

Substitution at the C(7) position of purine nucleotides by a potent electron-withdrawing nitro group facilitates the cleavage of glycosidic bonds under alkaline conditions. This property is useful for sequence-specific cleavage of DNA containing these analogues. Here we describe the preparation of 7-deaza-7-NO(2)-dA and 7-deaza-7-NO(2)-dG using two different approaches, starting from 2'-deoxy-adenosine and 6-chloro-7-deaza-guanine, respectively. These modified nucleosides were converted to nucleotide triphosphates, each of which can replace the corresponding, naturally occurring triphosphate to support PCR amplification.

Two New Cyclopeptides from Arenaria oreophila (Caryophyllaceae)

Two new cyclopeptides, named arenariphilin A ( 1 ) and arenariphilin B ( 2 ), were isolated from the whole plants of Arenaria oreophila. Their structures were determined as cyclo‐(Thr‐Gly) ( 1 ) and cyclo‐(Ser₁‐Gly ‐Ser₂‐Ile ‐Phe₁‐Phe₂) ( 2 ) on the basis of spectral data, especially by 2D‐NMR.     

Syntheses and characterization of three hybrid materials based on polymeric copper complexes and saturated Keggin polyoxoanions

Three novel heteropolytungstates, [Cu(phen)₂]₄[α-SiW₁₂O₄₀] (1), [Cu₄(4,4′-bpy)₃(2,2′-bpy)₄][α-SiW₁₂O₄₀] · H₂O (2) and [Cu(4,4′-bpy)(4,4′-Hbpy)_0.5]₂[PW₁₂O₄₀] (3) (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, 4,4′-bpy = 4,4′-bipyridine, 2,2′-bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, TG analyses and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound (1) exhibits interesting chiral layer constructed from interperpendicular helical chains running along a crystallographic 2₁ axis in the c and a directions. Furthermore, the chiral layers are connected by the [α-SiW₁₂O₄₀]⁴⁻ anions via hydrogen bonding interactions to form a 3D superamolecular structure. The [Cu₄(4,4′-bpy)₃(2,2′-bpy)₄]⁴⁺ coordinated complexes in compound (2) are packed together via the aromatic π–π stacking interactions and exhibit an interesting 3D sandglasslike “host” network with 1D channels, in which [α-SiW₁₂O₄₀]⁴⁻ anions “guests” reside. Compound (3) has a unique 2D superamolecular network, which is composed of cationic Cu^I coordination polymer chains and discrete [PW₁₂O₄₀]³⁻ polyoxoanions as linkers. It is noteworthy that the monprotonated 4,4′-bpy ligands of (3) act as arms and connect the adjacent 2D network, generating a 3D interpenetrating superamolecular structure.     

New phosphorescent polynuclear Cu(I) compounds based on linear and star-shaped 2-(2'-pyridyl)benzimidazolyl derivatives: syntheses, structures, luminescence, and electroluminescence

Four dinuclear and trinuclear Cu(I) complexes that contain 2-(2'-pyridyl)benzimidazolyl derivative ligands including 1,4-bis[2-(2'-pyridyl)benzimidazolyl]benzene (1,4-bmb), 1,3-bis[2-(2'-pyridyl)benzimidazolyl]benzene (1,3-bmb), 1,3,5-tris[2-(2'-pyridyl)benzimidazolyl]benzene (tmb), and 4,4'-bis[2-(2'-pyridyl)benzimidazolyl]biphenyl (bmbp) have been synthesized. The formulas of these complexes are [Cu(2)(1,4-bmb)(PPh(3))(4)][BF(4)](2) (1), [Cu(2)(1,3-bmb)(PPh(3))(4)][BF(4)](2) (2), [Cu(3)(tmb)(PPh(3))(6)][BF(4)](3) (3), and [Cu(2)(bmbp)(PPh(3))(4)][BF(4)](2) (4), respectively. The crystal structures of 2-4 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. The Cu(I) ions in the complexes have a distorted tetrahedral geometry. For 3, two structural isomers (syn and anti) resulted from two different orientations of the three 2-(2'-pyridyl)benzimidazolyl chelating units were observed in the crystal lattice. Variable-temperature (1)H NMR experiments established the presence of syn and anti isomers for 1-3 in solution which interconvert at ambient temperature. Complexes 1-4 have a weak MLCT absorption band in the 350-450 nm region and display a yellow-orange emission when irradiated by UV light. One unexpected finding is that the yellow-orange emission of complexes 1-4 has a very long decay lifetime (approximately 200 micros) at 77 K. An electroluminescent (EL) device using 4 as the emitter and PVK as the host was fabricated. However, the long decay lifetime of the copper complexes may limit their applications as phosphorescent emitters in EL devices.
