Water and fluorinated alcohol mediated/promoted tandem insertion/aerobic oxidation/bisindolylation under metal-free conditions: Easy access to bis(indolyl)methanes

A green tandem reaction, including insertion/aerobic oxidation/bisindolylation, starting from indoles and diazo compounds has been developed. The combination of water and fluorinated alcohol plays dual roles as solvent and promoter in this chemical transformation. Molecular oxygen in the air acts as an oxidant. 3,3′-Bis(indolyl)methanes with quaternary carbon were produced under metal-free conditions. No any catalyst and additive were required. N₂ and water were released as sole by-products. Absence of water and fluorinated alcohol resulted in Wolff rearrangement product.

Electrochemical Tri- and Difluoromethylation-Triggered Cyclization Accompanied by the Oxidative Cleavage of Indole Derivatives

Considering their unique roles in organic synthesis, and pharmaceutical and agrochemical applications, the development of fluoroalkylation, cyclization, and indole oxidative cleavage are important topics. Herein, an unprecedented electrochemical tri- and difluoromethylation/cyclization/indole oxidative cleavage process occurring in an undivided cell is presented. The protocol employs a readily prepared Langlois reagent as the fluoroalkyl source, affording a series of tri- or difluoromethylated 2-(2-acetylphenyl)isoquinoline-1,3-diones in good yields with excellent stereoselectivity. It is worth noting that this new methodology merges the fluoroalkylation/cyclization of N-substituted acrylamide alkenes with the oxidative cleavage of an indole C(2)=C(3) bond under external oxidant-free conditions.     

Double-Network Heparin Dynamic Hydrogels: Dynagels as Anti-bacterial 3D Cell Culture Scaffolds

Double cross-linked dynamic hydrogels, dynagels, have been prepared through reversible imine bonds and supramolecular interactions, which showed good pH responsiveness, injectability, self-healing property and biocompatibility. With the further encapsulation of heparin, the obtained hydrogels exhibited good anti-bacterial activity and promotion effects for 3D cell culture.     

Mechanically strong and stiff supramolecular polymers enabled by fiber reinforced long-chain alkane matrix

Fiber-reinforced-concrete (FRC) mechanism refers short discrete fibers that are uniformly distributed and randomly oriented, which offers an effective way to improve the mechanical performance of concrete. In the design of supramolecular polymers, an analogous concept of FRC appears to have been considered very rarely-although fibrous structure has been frequently observed/generated during the supramolecular polymerization. In this work, we apply the alkane thermosets, octadecane (C₁₈H₃₈) and tetracosane (C₂₄H₅₀), taking the role of “concrete”, and the low-molecular-weight monomer with long alkyl chains as the essential “fiber” component, to fabricate the “fiber reinforced supramolecular polymer”. Very much like FRC mechanism in material science, the resulting fiber reinforced supramolecular polymer thus exhibit unusually high mechanical strength and stiffness, which is unprecedented in the conventional supramolecular strategy.

A High-Efficiency Hematite Photoanode with Enhanced Bonding Energy Around Fe Atoms

Hematite nanoarrays are important photoanode materials. However, they suffer from serious problems of charge transfer and surface states; in particular, the surface states hinder the increase in photocurrent. A previous strategy to suppress the surface state is the deposition of an Fe-free metal oxide overlayer. Herein, from the viewpoint of atomic bonding energy, it is found that the strength of bonding around Fe atoms in the hematite is the key to suppressing the surface states. By treating the surface of hematite with Se and NaBH₄, the Fe₂O₃ transforms to a double-layer nanostructure. In the outer layer, the Fe−O bonding is reinforced and the Fe−Se bonding is even stronger. Therefore, the surface states are inhibited and the increase in the photocurrent density becomes much faster. Besides, the treatment constructs a nanoscale p–n junction to promote the charge transfer. Improvements are achieved in onset potential (0.25 V shift) and in photocurrent density (5.8 times). This work pinpoints the key to suppressing the surface states and preparing a high-efficiency hematite nanoarray, and deepens our understanding of hematite photoanodes.     

温度对NH3气体紫外吸收截面影响研究

为了研究NH3气体在紫外203～220 nm内吸收截面随温度的变化规律,采用高分辨率光栅单色仪、氘灯光源、闭式气样室和配气装置,测量NH3气体温度由308 K升高至397 K的吸收截面.NH3气体吸收截面由离散吸收和连续吸收两部分组成.结果表明,随着温度的升高,基态剩余量子旋转、振动迁移到激发态的概率减少,最终导致离散吸收截面峰值的降低.随着温度由308 K升高至397 K,在特征波长212.5 nm处,离散吸收截面峰值的最大相对减幅为46%.NH3气体在这个波段的吸收截面存在明显的等波长间隔分布特征,约为4 nm.随着温度升高,峰值位置未见变化.连续吸收截面整体上随温度升高而减小,且这种减小趋势随波长红移逐渐减弱.由于NH3气体吸收截面随温度的变化呈现较大的变化,实测时应对气体浓度在线测量结果进行温度补偿计算.

惯性约束聚变频率转换系统中,大口径薄型KDP晶体的面形质量是影响频率转换效率能否达到设计要求的关键因素之一。针对45放置状态下口径为400 mm400 mm的三倍频KDP晶体,采用ANSYS有限元分析软件,建立了不同夹持方式和具有不同加工误差的KDP晶体模型和夹具模型,分析了加工误差对不同夹持方式下KDP晶体附加面形的影响,给出了不同加工误差和不同夹持情况下,KDP晶体附加面形的P-V值和RMS值。研究结果表明,夹持方式和加工误差是引起KDP晶体附加面形变化的重要因素,正面压条夹持方式即使在晶体和夹具存在加工误差时也可以较好地控制晶体的附加面形。
