A series of substituted phosphinines, 1-phosphabarrelenes and 5-phosphasemibullvalenes were synthesized and evaluated for their potential application as ligands in homogeneous catalytic reactions. While their buried volume (%Vbur) was calculated to get insight into the steric properties, [LNi(CO)3] complexes were prepared in order to determine the corresponding Tolman electronic parameter. ETS-NOCV (extended-transition-state natural orbital for chemical valence) calculations on [LAuCl] complexes further allowed an estimation of the σ- and π-contributions to the L− M interaction. AuI coordination compounds of selected examples were prepared and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Finally, the three classes of PIII compounds were successfully used in the AuI-catalyzed cycloisomerization of N-2-propyn-1-ylbenzamide, showing very good activities and selectivities, which are comparable with the reported data of cationic phosphorus-based gold catalysts. 相似文献
A high-precision exact-matching quadruple isotope dilution method (ID4MS) was employed for the quantitation of nitrate in an air-dried spinach powder Certified Reference Material (CRM). The analyte was extracted in hot water following addition of 15NO\({}_{3}^{-}\) internal standard. The blend was then treated with sulfamic acid to remove nitrite and with triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate to promote aqueous conversion of nitrate into volatile EtONO2. The derivative was analyzed by headspace GC–MS with 3-min elution time. The method performance was validated with a series of tests which demonstrated adequate selectivity and ruggedness. This method supported the development of novel SPIN-1 CRM giving a modest contribution to its uncertainty (uchar = 0.85%). With respect to previous attempts, the SPIN-1 was proven stable, homogeneous (uhom = 0.44%), and suitable for spinach monitoring under EU regulations. On dried basis, the nitrate content of SPIN-1 was found to be 22.53 ± 0.43 mg/g (Uc = 1.9%, k = 2). The material was also used in an inter-laboratory study where four laboratories employed a total of ten measurement methods.
The development of efficient and mild methods for the synthesis of organofluorine compounds is of foremost interest in various fields of chemistry. A direct pyrimidine-based selective meta-C−H perfluoroalkenylation of arenes involving several commercially available perfluoroolefins is described. The synthetic versatility of the protocol is demonstrated by an extensive substrate scope including different benzylsulfonyl, alkylarene and phenylacetic acid scaffolds. The generality of this methodology including the meta-C−H perfluoroalkenylation of Ibuprofen, the facile cleavage of the directing group and gram-scale reactions are presented. 相似文献
The electrochemistry, photophysics, and electrochemically generated chemiluminescence (ECL) of a family of polysulfurated dendrimers with a pyrene core have been thoroughly investigated and complemented by theoretical calculations. The redox and luminescence properties of dendrimers are dependent on the generation number. From low to higher generation it is both easier to reduce and oxidize them and the emission efficiency increases along the family, with respect to the polysulfurated pyrene core. The analysis of such data evidences that the formation of the singlet excited state by cation–anion annihilation is an energy‐deficient process and, thus, the ECL has been justified through the triplet–triplet annihilation pathway. The study of the dynamics of the ECL emission was achieved both experimentally and theoretically by molecular mechanics and quantum chemical calculations. It has allowed rationalization of a possible mechanism and the experimental dependence of the transient ECL on the dendrimer generation. The theoretically calculated Marcus electron‐transfer rate constant compares very well with that obtained by the finite element simulation of the whole ECL mechanism. This highlights the role played by the thioether dendrons in modulating the redox and photophysical properties, responsible for the occurrence and dynamics of the electron transfer involved in the ECL. Thus, the combination of experimental and computational results allows understanding of the dendrimer size dependence of the ECL transient signal as a result of factors affecting the annihilation electron transfer. 相似文献
Emulsion polymerization of the three-monomer system butyl acrylate–styrene–methacrylic acid was performed in batch using a commercial maltodextrin derived from starch degradation as stabilizer. Stable latexes with narrow particle size distributions were obtained in all examined cases. A method was developed to analyze and quantify the partitioning of the maltodextrin between the continuous phase (supernatant) and the particle phase. Significant differences between the polysaccharides adsorbed onto particles with or without emulsion polymerization reaction were observed. The possible reactions of maltodextrin in presence of a radical initiator were studied in aqueous phase, thus confirming maltodextrin degradation. The formation of copolymers involving the original monomers and the stabilizer according to two different reactive pathways was also confirmed. In terms of adsorbed maltodextrin, two different contributions were observed: maltodextrin physically adsorbed and maltodextrin chemically grafted and/or physically incorporated into the polymer. 相似文献
The direct position analysis of parallel manipulators (PMs) brings to determine a finite number of platform poses compatible with an assigned set of actuated-joint variables’ values. Therefore, when, during functioning, the need to check the actual platform pose arises, the sensors usually located on the actuators are not sufficient and the additional pieces of information coming from ad-hoc-devised extra sensors are necessary. Here, for the first time, the actual implementation of extra sensors in underactuated parallel wrists (PWs) which contain a nonholonomic constraint is addressed. Differently from “ordinary” (i.e., non-underactuated) PWs, these PWs requires a continuous monitoring of the actual platform orientation to compensate the possible sliding in the nonholonomic constraint. Thus, in this case, the algorithms that interpret the pieces of information coming from the sensors must work in real time and must be integrated in the control software that manages the motion of the machine. All these special requirements are satisfied by the proposed algorithm. Moreover, the proposed hardware can also be implemented in some ordinary PWs with a cheap add-on kit. 相似文献
Industrially manufactured titanium dioxide nanoparticles have been successfully radiolabelled with 48V by irradiation with a cyclotron-generated proton beam. Centrifugation tests showed that the 48V radiolabels were stably bound within the nanoparticle structure in an aqueous medium, while X-ray diffraction indicated
that no major structural modifications to the nanoparticles resulted from the proton irradiation. In vitro tests of the uptake
of cold and radiolabelled nanoparticles using the human cell line Calu-3 showed no significant difference in the uptake between
both batches of nanoparticles. The uptake was quantified by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry and high resolution
γ-ray spectrometry for cold and radiolabelled nanoparticles, respectively. These preliminary results indicate that alterations
to the nanoparticles’ properties introduced by proton bombardment can be controlled to a sufficient extent that their further
use as radiotracers for biological investigations can be envisaged and elaborated. 相似文献
