High-fidelity Recognition of Organotrifluoroborate Anions (R−BF3−) as Designer Guest Molecules

The recognition of boron compounds is well developed as boronic acids but untapped as organotrifluoroborate anions (R−BF₃⁻). We are exploring the development of these and other designer anions as anion-recognition motifs by considering them as substituted versions of the parent inorganic ion. To this end, we demonstrate strong and reliable binding of organic trifluoroborates, R−BF₃⁻, by cyanostar macrocycles that are size-complementary to the inorganic BF₄⁻ progenitors. We find that recognition is modulated by the substituent's sterics and that the affinities are retained using the common K⁺ salts of R−BF₃⁻ anions.

单元教学设计过程中的“教学问题链”设计——以上海科学技术出版社《物理·必修》(第三册)静电场单元为例

根据教育部颁布的《普通高中物理课程标准(2017年版)》,在上海市物理教育教学基地(上海高校“立德树人”人文社会科学重点研究基地)的大力支持下,由上海市教育委员会组织编写的上海高中物理非统编教材进行了正式使用前的试教试用活动,此教材是在上海高中物理“二期课改”教材的基础上全面改写而成的.单元教学设计已成为当前教学设计的焦点问题,以《物理·必修》(第三册)静电场单元为例,详细阐述了“教学问题链”的设计理念,希望与广大一线教师交流试教试用的心得与反思,推动新课改课堂转型.
