Ce(H_2O)_7Al(OH)_6Mo_6O_(18)·4H_2O: A New One-dimensional Zigzag Chainlike Structure of Anderson Cluster Linked by Cerium Ions

IntroductionPolyoxometalates(POMs),as an important familyof metal oxides,have been receiving considerable at-tention in solid-state materials chemistry due to their di-verse topological properties and potential applications incatalysis,photochemistry,electrochemistry,medicineand magnetism[1,2].Recently,one of the intriguingfields in the polyoxometalate chemistry is to find somenovel subunits and then connect them into one-,two-,even three-dimensional(1-,2-,even3-D)extendednetworks,either thro…     

Determination of Dopamine in the Presence of Ascorbic Acid on the IrO2-Ta2O5 Type DSA Electrode

IrO2Ta2O5 (70%: 30%, molar ratio) electrodes (ITEs) were prepared by the thermal decomposition method. Typical “mud-cracked” surface and surface enrichment of Ta were observed. The determination of dopamine (DA) was carried out in the presence of ascorbic acid (AA). The detection limit of DA was 5~10 5 mol/L without the interference of AA.     

Determination of Size Distribution of Nano-particles by Capillary Zone Electrophoresis

A new method was developed for the determination of the size distribution of nano-particles by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE). Scattering effect of nanoparticles was studied. This method for the determination of size distribution was statistical.     

Effect of Alkali Treatment on the Structure and Catalytic Properties of ZSM-5 Zeolite

Catalytic properties of ZSM-5 zeolite samples pretreated with NaOH solution have been investigated. The samples are characterized by XRD, SEM, chemical analysis, and N2 adsorption.The results indicate that mesopores are created in ZSM-5 crystals under alkali treatment without change the microporous structure and acidic strength of the zeolite, but the crystallinity is greatly decreased under severe treatment. IR indicates that the concentration of silanol is greatly enriched by alkali treatment. The etherification activities of ZSM-5 zeolites are greatly increased byalkali-treatment. The noticeably improved catalytic activity of treated samples is ascribed to the formation of mesopores and greatly enriched silanol group.     

Synthesis, Characterization, Spectroscopic Properties of 2-（4-Dimethylaminophenyl）-5-fluoro-6-（morpholin-4-yl）-1H-benzimidazole and its Interaction with Calf Thymus DNA

Benzimidazole compounds have attracted a renewed interest recently owing to theirpotential applications in high-performance composite materials, electronic chemicals,photosensitive materials, and their special potentials in biological and/or medicinalapplication1,2. Typically, aromatic compounds with near planar structures and contain-ing hydrogen-donor groups or groups, which are capable of being protonated, havespecial interactions with DNA via intercalation, hydrogen-bonding, and so on3.Me…     

Nanjiols D and E, Two New Uncommon Steroids from the Chinese Soft Coral Nephthea bayeri

Marine organisms have been found to be a storehouse of steroids, particularly in term ofunique side-chain structures and unusual functionalization. Marine steroids are oftenfound in highly oxygenated forms and possessing various biological activities1.Previously, we reported the isolation and structural elucidation of three new marinesteroids, nanjiols A-C, which showed cytotoxicity against HL-60 and BEL 7402 celllines, from a soft coral Nephthea bayeri in East China Sea2. In continuation …     

A New Saponin Transformed from Ginsenoside Rh1 by Bacillus subtilis

A novel saponin was isolated from the transformed products of ginsenoside Rh1 by Bacillus subtilis. It‘s structure was determined to be 3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-6-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-20 (S)-protopanaxatriol on the basis of the spectral data.     

The Unusual Spectrum of the Mixture of Tin-octabutoxy Naphthalocyanine and SnCl2 in CH2Cl2

The Q-band position of tin-centered 5, 9, 14, 18, 23, 27, 32, 36-octabutoxy 2, 3-phthalocyanine(SnNc(OBu)8) exhibits dramatic red-shift as mixed with SnCl2 in CH2Cl2.     

Photochemically Catalyzed Diels-Alder Reaction of Azadienes with 2,3-Dihydrofuran by 2, 4, 6-Triphenylpyrylium Salt： Synthesis of Styrylfuroquinoline Derivatives

Photochemically promoted Diels-Alder reactions of 1, 4-diaryl-1-azabutadienes with 2,3-dihydrofuran were achieved by using 2, 4, 6-triphenylpyrylium tetrafluoroborate as catalyst to produce corresponding styrylfuroquinolines in high yield.     

Regioselective 1,2-Addition of Ti(IV)-enolate to α, β–Unsaturated Compounds

The nucleophilic addition to α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds is a fundamental C-C bond forming reaction in organic chemistry1. Since there are two reaction sites in the α, β–unsaturated carbonyl group, the regioselectivity of the nucleophilic addition (1, 2 vs. 1, 4 addition) is of primary importance when applying this type of reaction in organic synthesis. Factors that control the regioselectivity include the softness and hardness of the attacking nucleophiles2, solvent and temperatu…
