Habit modification of calcium carbonate in the presence of malic acid

The ability of malic acid to control calcium carbonate morphology has been investigated by aging calcium chloride solution in the presence of urea in a 90 °C bath. Malic acid favors the formation of calcite. A transition from single block to aggregate with special morphology occurs upon increasing malic acid concentration. The morphological development of CaCO₃ crystal obviously depends on the starting pH. CaCO₃ crystal grows from spindle seed to dumbbell in the pH regime from 7 to 11; while it evolves from spindle seed, through peanut, to sphere at pH=11.5. Both dumbbell and sphere consist of rods that are elongated along c-axis and capped with three smooth, well-defined rhombic {1 0 4} faces. A tentative growth mechanism is proposed based on the fractal model suggested by R. Kniep and S. Busch [Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 35 (1996) 2624].     

Total synthesis of methyl protodioscin: a potent agent with antitumor activity

Methyl protodioscin (1), otherwise known as 3-O-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->4)]-beta-d-glucopyranosyl]-26-O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl]-22-methoxy-25(R)-furost-5-ene-3 beta,26-diol, has been synthesized for the first time from diosgenin through nine steps in an overall yield of 7.8%.     

Particle-rod hybrids: growth of arachidic acid molecular rods from capped cadmium selenide nanoparticles

This communication describes a spin-coating method to nucleate organic molecular rods of uniform size from an inorganic nanoparticle at a solid surface. The particle-rod hybrid structure spontaneously forms when a film is spin coated from a mixed 2-propanol solution of arachidic acid (AA) and nanoparticles of cadmium selenide capped by mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA-CdSe) on graphite. AFM images show that MUA-CdSe nanoparticles nucleate single crystalline rods of AA with a cross section of a single unit cell of the C-form. The solution-based process potentially allows the precise tuning of the wetting profile of the solution on the surface-attached nanoparticle, which provides the reservoir for the growth of the single crystalline rods. The results suggest that nanoparticles can be regarded as nanoseeds for the nucleation of guest crystals. It should be possible to further functionalize the AA rods by electrostatic complexation with metal or organic ions.     

固体炭对一氧化氮低温催化解离还原反应的影响——Ⅱ.复合催化剂中铁在载体炭上化学形态的研究

用~(57)Fe穆斯堡尔谱研究了炭载型复合催化剂中铁化学形态随温度的变化,及各活性组分、助剂对铁化学形态的影响;并通过ESR谱考察了复合催化剂中不同活性组分对铁在载体炭表面电子特性的影响。研究结果表明,复合催化剂中各活性组分、助剂和载体炭与铁之间存在着强相互作用。在350～650℃,载体炭可将铁从Fe_2O_3还原到Fe_3O_4、FeO、α-Fe和生成炭化铁。活性组分Cu和助剂K可改变催化剂中铁周围的电子密度,促进铁在载体炭上从高价态向低价态还原。同时还发现催化剂中Na和Cr对铁有很强的助分散作用。

AlCl_3／SbCl_3复合体系引发α－蒎烯／苯乙烯阳离子共聚合

比较了ＡｌＣｌ_３和ＡｌＣｌ_３／ＳｂＣｌ_３复合体系的α－蒎烯／苯乙烯阳离子共聚反应及产物的摩尔质量分布。结果表明，由于用ＡｌＣｌ_３体系两种单体活性差大而难以共聚，用ＡｌＣｌ_３／ＳｂＣｌ_３复合体系，苯乙烯聚合速率相对减小，而α－蒎烯聚合速率增大，加之苯乙烯的共催化剂作用，加速α－蒎烯聚合，可使α－蒎烯与苯乙烯进行有效共聚。考察了［Ｓｂ］／［Ａｌ］比、催化剂浓度、单体投料比等对共聚体系α－蒎烯、苯乙烯转化速率及产物Ｍ_ｎ的影响。
