STUDIES ON THE MECHANISM OF VINYL PHOTOPOLYMERIZATION INITIATED BY CONDENSED AROMATIC HYDROCARBON-ANILINE SYSTEMS

Initiation mechanism of the photopolymerization of acrylonitrile and methyl methacrylate, usingbinary condensed aromatic hydrocarbon (CAH)-aniline systems as initiator, was studied. The strongerthe electron-donating ability of the aniline derivatives, the faster the the of photopolymerizationwill be. The radical intermediates produced by photoreaction between anthracene and anilinewere detected with ESR spectra. The initiation scheme involves the formation of exciplex betweenthe excited singlet state of CAH and the ground state of aniline as the first step, and then followedby proton transfer, leading to the generation of two kinds of radicals. From the end-group analysisof the polymers obtained, it is suggested that both kinds of radicals are involved in the initiation.     

An in silico ensemble method for lead discovery: decision forest

Recent progress in combinatorial chemistry and parallel synthesis has radically changed the approach to drug discovery in the pharmaceutical industry. At present, thousands of compounds can be made in a short period, creating a need for fast and effective in silico methods to select the most promising lead candidates. Decision forest is a novel pattern recognition method, which combines the results of multiple distinct but comparable decision tree models to reach a consensus prediction. In this article, a decision forest model was developed using a structurally diverse training data set containing 232 compounds whose estrogen receptor binding activity was tested at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)'s National Center for Toxicological Research (NCTR). The model was subsequently validated using a test data set of 463 compounds selected from the literature, and then applied to a large data set with 57,145 compounds as a screening example. The results show that the decision forest method is a fast, reliable and effective in silico approach, which could be useful in drug discovery.     

动态力学温度谱分析的新方法及其应用 Ⅳ.从动态力学温度谱求两相聚合物的双活化能和应力松弛

 提出用两个热流变简单粘弹体的并联体系作为两相聚合物的粘弹模型,将先前的动态力学温度谱分析方法推广到两相聚合物中去.运用这种新方法从动态力学数据求出了PET/70PHB共聚物的双活化能,其中150℃左右的转变活化能为71.9kcal/mol,70℃左右的转变活化能为117.5koal/mol,这一数值与文献上PET/60PHB这个转变的活化能120kcal/mol相接近.文中还计算了共聚物在不同温度下的10s应力松弛模量,所得结果与实测值相吻合.     

1,3-二羧甲基咪唑盐酸盐热分解过程研究

离子液体是继超临界流体之后的一类新的绿色溶剂,因其具有一系列独特的性质,作为溶剂和反应介质已广泛应用于有机合成、催化反应工程、电化学、分离分析等领域.随着研究和应用的逐渐深入,仅仅将离子液体作为溶剂和反应介质已不能满足要求,使离子液体带上某些官能团,从而赋予其特定的功能,是相关领域的一个研究热点.1,3-二取代咪唑盐是一类常用的离子液体,对其功能化具有重要意义.1,3-二羧甲基咪唑的制备简单,将它与不同的酸如盐酸、磷酸、硼酸等进行反应,可得到对称二羧甲基取代的咪唑盐.这类咪唑盐作为缩聚单体与二醇或二胺反应,可得到每个重复链节上都含有咪唑阳离子的新的功能性聚酯或聚酰胺;如果用其掺杂导电聚苯胺,因其挥发性低则有可能大大提高聚苯胺的导电寿命.     

Tetra(μ3-hydroxo)hexa(μ2-carboxylato-O,O′)-bridged tetranuclear terbium(III) cubane complex

A novel tetranuclear terbium(III) complex [Tb₄(OH)₄(pybet)₆(H₂O)₈][Tb₄(OH)₄(pybet)₆(H₂O)₇ (NO₃)](ClO₄)₁₄·6H₂O has been synthesized and shown by X-ray crystallography to have a cubane-like Tb₄(μ₃-OH)₄(μ₂-carboxylato-O,O′)₆ core. The ligand pybet is pyridinoacetate, C₅H₅⁺N-CH₂CO₂⁻. Magnetic susceptibility data were measured for this Tb₄ complex in the range of 2.0–320 K and in fields of 1.0 G to 50.0 kG. It is concluded that either there is very weak antiferromagnetic exchange interaction (J = −0.015 cm⁻¹) or there is a small crystal-field splitting of the ⁷F₆ Tb^III ground state.     

The Surface Imprinted Polystyrene Beads Prepared via Emulsion Templates

In this paper, the surface imprinted cross-linked polystyrene beads were prepared via suspension polymerization with styrene (St), divinylbezene (DVB), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA1788),the mixture of Span 85 and xylene or the mixture of Span 85 and paraffin as monomer,cross-linking agent, dispersion stabilizer and templates, respectively. The results indicate that there are dense cavities on the surface of beads, and the diameter and density of cavity are related with the composition and amount of emulsion template. The forming mechanism of cavity from thermodynamics and dynamics was proposed.     

Synthesis of 5-ethynylorotic acid

Condensation of 2,4-dimethoxy-5-iodo-6-carbomethoxypyrimidine ( 10 ) with copper (I) 3-tetrahydropyranyloxyprop-1-ynide ( 4 ) afforded 2,4-dimethoxy-5-(3′-tetrahydropyranyloxyprop-1′-yn)-6-carbomethoxypyrimidine ( 11 ), which was hydrolyzed to produce 2,4-dimethoxy-5-(3′-hydroxyprop-1′-yn)-6-carbomethoxypyrimidine ( 12 ). Oxidation of 12 with dimethyl sulfoxide-oxalyl chloride reagent gave the acetylenic aldehyde ( 13 ), which on treatment with sodium methoxide in dry tetrahydrofuran yielded 2,4-dimethoxy-5-ethynyl-6-carbomethoxypyrimidine ( 14 ). The trimethylsilyl derivative ( 15 ) was deprotected by sequential treatment with iodotrimethylsilane and aqueous sodium hydroxide, leading to the formation of 5-ethynylorotic acid ( 1 ).

Design,Synthesis, and Characterization of Photolabeling Probes for the Study of the Mechanisms of the Antiviral Effects of Ribavirin

Ribavirin, the only small molecule available so far for treating hepatitis‐C‐virus infection, was recently used in an emergency context to treat patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in the early stages of the disease. To study the mechanisms responsible for the antiviral effects of ribavirin by using a photolabeling approach, we designed, synthesized, and characterized the azidotriazole nucleosides 1 and 2 as photolabeling probes of ribavirin. These probes were synthesized either by performing nucleophilic substitution of the corresponding bromotriazole nucleoside with NaN₃ (Scheme 2) or by directly coupling the azidotriazole with the protected ribose sugar (Scheme 4). The azidotriazole nucleosides 1 and 2 showed a fast, clear‐cut photochemical reaction, which suggests that they are promising candidates for use in photolabeling studies.     

Effect of multi-walled carbon nanotubes on non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of polyamide 6

The non-isothermal crystallization behaviors of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs)/polyamide 6 (PA6) composites were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Three methods, namely, Avrami, Ozawa and Mo, were carried out to analyze the non-isothermal crystallization data. The results showed that the MWNTs in PA6 acted as effective nucleation agents. However the crystallization rate of composites obtained was lower than that of the neat PA6. It is indicated that the presence of MWNTs influenced the mechanism of nucleation and the growth of PA6 crystallites.
