从《世阿弥传书》到《匠明》:能乐观演空间尺度体系的传承与演变

利用酰胺化反应在2,2,6,6-四甲基哌啶-1-氧自由基(TEMPO)分子的4位引入乙酰氨基和异烟酰氨基分别获得Acet-TEMPO和isoNTA-TEMPO分子.将Acet-TEMPO、 isoNTA-TEMPO和TEMPO分别与MIL-101(Fe)组成共催化体系,以苯甲醇选择性氧化为苯甲醛做模型反应,研究上述3种催化体系的催化性能.催化结果表明3种催化体系的催化活性顺序为:MIL-101(Fe)/isoNTA-TEMPO MIL-101(Fe)/Acet-TEMPOMIL-101(Fe)/TEMPO.通过对比实验和吸附实验表明isoNTA-TEMPO的吡啶官能团与MIL-101(Fe)的Fe簇配位作用是提高体系催化性能的关键因素.MIL-101(Fe)/isoNTA-TEMPO催化体系对各种芳香醇均表现出较好的催化性能,且催化剂能循环回收利用.     

Photoluminescent Ferroelastic Molecular Crystals

Ferroelasticity has been reported for several types of molecular crystals, which show mechanical‐stress‐induced shape change under twinning and/or spontaneous formation of strain. Aiming to create materials that exhibit both ferroelasticity and light‐emission characteristics, we discovered the first examples of ferroelastic luminescent organometallic crystals. Crystals of arylgold(I)(N‐heterocyclic carbene)(NHC) complexes bend upon exposure to anisotropic mechanical stress. X‐ray diffraction analyses and stress‐strain measurements on these ferroelastic crystals confirmed typical ferroelastic behavior, mechanical twinning, and the spontaneous build‐up of strain. A comparison with single‐crystal structures of related gold‐NHC complexes that do not show ferroelasticity shed light on the structural origins of the ferroelastic behavior.     

Antibacterial metal implant with a TiO2‐conferred photocatalytic bactericidal effect against Staphylococcus aureus

Photocatalysis with anatase Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) under ultraviolet A (UVA) has a well recognized bactericidal effect. There have been a few reports, however, on the effects of photocatalysis on bio‐implant‐related infections. The purpose of present study was to evaluate the photocatalytic bactericidal effects of anatase TiO₂ on Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) associated with surgical site infections. TiO₂ films were synthesized on commercially pure titanium substrates and SUS316 stainless steel using a plasma source ion implantation method followed by annealing. The chemical composition of the surface layers was determined using GXRD and XPS. The disks were seeded with cultured S. aureus and exposed to UVA illumination from black light. The bactericidal effect of the TiO₂ films was evaluated by counting the survived colonies statistically. A structural gradient anatase type TiO₂ layer formed on all substrates. The viability of the bacteria on the photocatalytic TiO₂ film coated on titanium was suppressed to 7.0% at 30 minutes and 5.5% at 45 minutes, whereas that on a similarly coated stainless steel was suppressed to 45.8% at 30 minute and 28.6% at 45 minutes (ANOVA: p < 0.05). Complete bacterial inactivation was achieved after 90 minutes on titanium and after 60 minutes on stainless steel. The photocatalytic bactericidal effect of TiO₂ is useful for sterilizing the contaminated surfaces of bioimplants. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Ni-catalyzed hydroboration and hydrosilylation of olefins with diboron and silylborane

Herein we report a Ni-catalyzed formal hydroboration of olefins, which afforded anti-Markovnikov-type alkylboranes with B₂pin₂ and a stoichiometric amount of water. Formal hydrosilylation using air- and moisture-sensitive silylboranes also proceeded under optimized conditions. The reaction with trans-stilbene and D₂O resulted in 1,2-H migration, which suggested that the reaction proceeded via β-hydride elimination and reinsertion mechanisms.     

Polymer electrolyte membranes based on polystyrenes with phosphonic acid via long alkyl side chains

A series of polystyrenes with phosphonic acid ( 5 ) via long alkyl side chains (4, 6, and 8 methylene units) were prepared by the radical polymerization of the corresponding diethyl ω‐(4‐vinylphenoxy)alkylphosphonates, followed by the hydrolysis with trimethylsilyl bromide. The resulting phosphonated polystyrene membranes had a high oxidative stability against Fenton's reagent at room temperature. The membranes prepared from 5 exhibited a very low water uptake, similar to that of Nafion 117 over the wide range of 30 to 80% relative humidity (RH). The proton conductivities of these membranes are lower than that of Nafion 117 in the range of 30 to 90% RH, but comparable or higher than those of the reported phosphonated polymers with higher IEC values, such as the phosphonated poly(N‐phenylacrylamide) (PDPAA, IEC: 6.72 mequiv/g) and fluorinated polymers with pendant phosphonic acids (M47, IEC: 8.5 mequiv/g), at low RH conditions despite the much lower IEC values (3.0–3.8 mequiv/g) of these membranes. These results suggest that the flexible pendant side chains of 5 would contribute to the formation of hydrogen‐bonding networks by considering the very low water uptake of these polymers. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Iridium-catalyzed allylic alkylation of monosubstituted allylic acetates with azlactone, and separation of diastereoisomers by sequential aza-Cope rearrangement

The iridium-catalyzed allylic alkylation with azlactone and sequential aza-Cope rearrangement was demonstrated. The sequential reaction was effective in separating of diastereoisomers and afforded a diastereomerically pure azlactone derivative and oxazolinone derivative.
