The syntheses, structural and spectroscopic characterization, fluoride abstraction reactions, and photochemical reactivity of cationic uranyl(VI) phosphine oxide complexes are described. [UO2(OPPh3)4][X]2 (1a, X = OTf; 1b, X = BF4) and [UO2(dppmo)2(OPPh3)][X]2 (2a, X = OTf; 2b, X = BF(4)) are prepared from the corresponding uranyl(VI) chloride precursor and 2 equiv each of AgX and phosphine oxide. The BF4- compounds 1b and 2b are prone to fluoride abstraction reactions in methanol, leading to dinuclear fluoride-bridged uranyl(VI) complexes. Fluoride abstraction of 2b in methanol generates two structural isomers of the fluoride-bridged uranyl(VI) dimer [(UO2(dppmo)2)2(mu-F)][BF4]3 (4), both of which have been structurally characterized. In the major isomer 4C, the four dppmo ligands are all chelating, while in the minor isomer 4B, two of the dppmo ligands bridge adjacent uranyl(VI) centers. Photolysis of 2b in methanol proceeds through 4 to form the uranium(IV) fluoride complex [UO2F2(dppmo)3][BF4]2 (5), involving another fluoride abstraction step. X-ray crystallography shows 5 to be a rare example of a structurally characterized uranium(IV) complex possessing terminal U-F bonds. Complex 5 reverts to 4 in solution upon exposure to air. 相似文献
Ethyl 2-diazo-4,4,4-trifluoro-3-oxobutanoate is a highly versatile intermediate for the synthesis of a wide range of trifluoromethyl heterocycles. With the use of rhodium(II) or copper(II) catalyzed carbene X-H insertion reactions as key steps, a diverse set of trifluoromethyl-oxazoles, -thiazoles, -imidazoles, -1,2,4-triazines, and -pyridines are available from the diazoketoester, either directly in a single step or with just one additional step. 相似文献
A new procedure to isolate carrier-free isotopes of Nb and Ta after a 12-MeV proton bombardment of a natural Hf foil has been considered. The cross section of the corresponding natHf(p,x)179Ta reaction has been estimated for the first time as 5.4?±?0.5 mb. The isotopes that were produced were subsequently used for development of procedures for the chemical characterization of element 105 (Db). HF/HNO3 and HNO3/H2O2 media have been chosen and the parameters of the experiments have been optimized. Based on the results obtained in this work, off-line experimental procedures have been proposed for the evaluation of the chemical behavior of Db. 相似文献
Because of its ease of implementation and insensitivity to indenter drift, dynamic indentation techniques have been frequently used to measure mechanical properties of bulk and thin film materials as a function of indenter displacement. However, the actual effect of the oscillating tip on the material response has not been examined. Recently, it has been shown that the oscillation used with dynamic indentation techniques alters the measured hardness value of ductile metallic materials, especially at depths less than 200 nm. The alteration in the hardness is due to the added energy associated with the oscillation which assists dislocation nucleation. Atomistic simulations on nickel thin films agree with experiments that more dislocations are nucleated during dynamic indents than with quasi-static indents. Through the analysis of quasi-static and dynamic indents made into nickel single crystals and thin films, a theory to describe this phenomenon is presented. This is coined the Nano-Jackhammer effect, a combination of dislocation nucleation and strain rate sensitivity caused by indentation with a superimposed dynamic oscillation. 相似文献
The Nigerian Niger-Delta crude oil exploration often results in spills that affect indigenous medicinal plant biodiversity, likely changing the phytochemical profile of surviving species, their bioactivity or toxicity. In crude oil-rich Kokori and crude oil-free Abraka, classic examples of indigenous plants occupying the medicine-food interface include Vernonia amygdalina (VAL) and Ocimum gratissimum leaves (OGL). These plants are frequently utilised during pregnancy and in anaemia. To date, no scientific investigation has been reported on the potential changes to the phytochemical or bioactivity of the study plants. To discuss the similarities and dissimilarities in antisickling bioactivity and phytochemicals in VAL and OGL collected from Kokori (VAL-KK and OGL-KK) and Abraka (VAL-AB and OGL-AB), in silico, in vitro and comparative UPLC-QTOF-MS analysis was performed. Nine unique compounds were identified in OGL-KK, which have never been reported in the literature, while differences in antisickling potentials were observed in VAL-KK, OGL-KK and, VAL-AB, OGL-AB. Our findings show that VAL-AB and OGL-AB are richer and more diverse in phytochemicals and displayed a slightly higher antisickling activity than VAL-KK and OGL-KK. Ligand-based pharmacophore modelling was performed to understand the potential compounds better; this study may provide a basis for explaining the effect of crude oil spills on secondary metabolites and a reference for further research. 相似文献
