Infrared photodissociation spectroscopy of electrosprayed ions in a Fourier transform mass spectrometer

Previous gas-phase methods for infrared photodissociation spectroscopy (IRPD) require sample volatility. Our method instead uses electrospray ionization to introduce even large nonvolatile molecules into a Fourier transform mass spectrometer, where extended (>15 s) ion storage makes possible high sensitivity spectral measurements with an OPO laser over a range of 3050-3800 cm(-1). The spectra of 22 gaseous proton-bound amino acid complexes are generally correlated with the H-stretching frequencies established for O-H and N-H functional groups in solution. For theoretical structure predictions of the Gly2H+ and N-acylated Asp2H+ dimers, IRPD spectra clearly differentiate between the predicted lowest energy conformers. In contrast to solution, in the gas phase the glycine zwitterion is approximately 20 kcal/mol less stable than the neutral; however, glycine is clearly zwitterionic in the gaseous GlyLysH+ dimer. The level of theory is inadequate for the larger Lys2H+ dimer, as all low energy predicted structures have free carboxyl O-H groups, in contrast to the IR spectrum. IRPD appears to be a promising new technique for providing unique information on a broad range of biomolecular and other gaseous ions, especially on noncovalent bonding involving O-H and N-H groups.     

希土冠醚类配合物的研究 ⅩⅣ.希土碘化物与15—冠—5配合物的合成及性质

希土冠醚配合物是近年来引起人们广泛兴趣的研究领域。到目前为止,已研究了包括硝酸根、溴离子、异硫氰酸根、高氯酸根、六氟磷酸根、三氟醋酸根等作为抗衡阴离子的希土冠醚配合物。由于碘离子易被氧化,REI_3不稳定,因此相应的配合物也容易分解,至今文献中尚未见到有关碘离子作为抗衡阴离子的希土冠醚配合物的报道。我们合成了希土碘化     

NO和O2在Pt(110)面上吸附的TDS和PEEM研究

采用热脱附和光电子发射普微镜研究了Ｏ２和ＮＯ在Ｐｔ（１１０）面上的吸附和共吸附。结果表明，室温条件下，ＮＯ在Ｐｔ（１１０）面上有端式和桥式两种不同的吸附方式。Ｐｔ（１１０）表面预吸附的原子态氧占据了ＮＯ进入了桥式吸附的活性粒，从而阻遏了ＮＯ在Ｐｔ表面发生解离反应必须经过的桥式吸附中间态的形式，进而降低了ＮＯ在Ｐｔ表面直接分散的能力。

Design of Photoactive Covalent Organic Frameworks as Heterogeneous Catalyst for Preparation of Thiophosphinates from Phosphine Oxides and Thiols

Two new covalent organic frameworks (COFs) were synthesized from 4,4′,4′′,4′′′-(pyrene-1,3,6,8-tetrayl)tetraaniline and 2,5-dimethoxyterephthalaldehyde (Py-DMTA-COF) or 2′,5′-dimethoxy-[1,1′:4′,1′′-terphenyl]-4,4′′-dicarbaldehyde (Py-DMTPDA-COF) under solvothermal conditions. These two COFs were further facilely developed as efficient photocatalytic platforms for the synthesis of thiophosphinates. Py-DMTA-COF exhibited better photocatalytic activity, broad substrate applicability, and excellent recycling capacity for the preparation of thiophosphinates from P(O)H compounds and thiols compared to Py-DMTPDA-COF. This methodology was further extended to the seamless gram-scale production of target phosphorothioate derivatives. The results demonstrate that COFs can provide a robust platform for developing metal-free, base-free, highly efficient, and reusable heterogeneous photocatalysts for organic transformations.
