Trigonal‐Bipyramidal and Square‐Pyramidal Chromium?Manganese Chalcogenide Clusters, [E2CrMn2(CO)n]2− (E=S,Se, Te; n=9, 10): Synthesis,Electrochemistry, UV/Vis Absorption,and Computational Studies

The reactions of E powder (E=S, Se) with a mixture of Cr(CO)₆ and Mn₂(CO)₁₀ in concentrated solutions of KOH/MeOH produced two new mixed Cr? Mn? carbonyl clusters, [E₂CrMn₂(CO)₉]^2? (E=S, 1 ; Se, 2 ). Clusters 1 and 2 were isostructural with one another and each displayed a trigonal‐bipyramidal structure, with the CrMn₂ triangle axially capped by two μ₃‐E atoms. The analogous telluride cluster, [Te₂CrMn₂(CO)₉]^2? ( 3 ), was obtained from the ring‐closure of Te₂Mn₂ ring complex [Te₂Mn₂Cr₂(CO)₁₈]^2? ( 4 ). Upon bubbling with CO, clusters 2 and 3 were readily converted into square‐pyramidal clusters, [E₂CrMn₂(CO)₁₀]^2? (E=Se, 5 ; Te, 6 ), accompanied with the cleavage of one Cr? Mn bond. According to SQUID analysis, cluster 6 was paramagnetic, with S=1 at room temperature; however, the Se analogue ( 5 ) was spectroscopically proposed to be diamagnetic, as verified by TD‐DFT calculations. Cluster 6 could be further carbonylated, with cleavage of the Mn? Mn bond to produce a new arachno‐cluster, [Te₂CrMn₂(CO)₁₁]^2? ( 7 ). The formation and structural isomers, as well as electrochemistry and UV/Vis absorption, of these clusters were also elucidated by DFT calculations.     

印染污泥的活性炭负载过渡金属化合物非均相催化臭氧化

采用湿式浸渍法,将6种含过渡金属(Cu,Fe,Zn,Ni,Mn,Ce)元素的化合物负载在活性炭（AC）上,制得6种催化剂AC/M(M=Cu,Fe,Zn,Ni,Mn,Ce),在室温条件下,催化臭氧化处理苯酚溶液和印染污泥。 催化剂AC/M通过Boehm滴定、XRD和BET分析进行表征。 苯酚的3种降解方法中,AC/M催化剂的臭氧催化最好,AC/M吸附处理次之,单独臭氧处理的效果最差。 在苯酚的降解处理过程中,AC/M催化臭氧化处理苯酚溶液的效率依次为：AC/Fe＞AC/Zn＞AC/Ni＞AC/Ce＞AC/Cu＞AC/Mn。 AC/M催化剂催化臭氧化效果随溶液pH值的增大而增强。 AC/M催化剂处理印染污泥的效率依次为：AC/Fe＞AC/Zn＞AC/Ce=AC/Ni＞AC/Cu＞AC/Mn,AC/Fe催化臭氧化处理印染污泥可使污泥中有机质含量降低8.17%。     

钪元素对AB2型合金Zr1-xScxMn0.6V0.2Ni1.2Co0.1（x=0～1）储氢和电化学性能的影响

用真空电弧熔炼方法制备了Zr1-xScxMn0.6V0.2Ni1.2Co0.1(x=0～1)AB2型储氢合金,研究了Sc元素替代Zr对合金的微观组织结构、气态储氢及电化学性能的影响。研究结果表明,Zr1-xScxMn0.6V0.2Ni1.2Co0.1合金主要是由FCC型C15相、CsCl型结构的(ScZr)Ni相和少量的Ni10Zr7相组成,随Sc含量的增加,C15相丰度逐渐减小,(ScZr)Ni相丰度逐渐增加,当x=0.2时Ni10Zr7相基本消失;Sc元素对合金的首次气态吸氢动力学行为影响较大,随Sc含量的增加,合金吸氢动力学性能逐渐变缓,但吸氢容量逐渐提高,直至达x=1.0时的最大吸氢量1.87%;Sc元素对合金吸氢PCT曲线平衡氢压的影响规律不明显,随Sc含量增加,合金氢化物的形成焓ΔH从-26.66 kJ.mol-1逐渐减小到-8.14 kJ.mol-1。Sc元素的加入可明显改善合金电极的活化性能,提高放电容量,随Sc含量的增加,合金电极最大放电容量从x=0时的350.3 mAh.g-1增加到x=1时的429.8 mAh.g-1,呈先减小后增大的趋势,但电极容量的保持率S100随Sc含量增加而快速下降。

One‐Step Multicomponent Self‐Assembly of a First‐Generation Sierpiński Triangle: From Fractal Design to Chemical Reality

A novel terpyridine‐based architecture that mimics a first‐generation Sierpiński triangle has been synthesized by multicomponent assembly and features tpy? Cd^II? tpy connectivity (tpy=terpyridine). The key terpyridine ligands were synthesized by the Suzuki cross‐coupling reaction. Mixing two different terpyridine‐based ligands and Cd^II in a precise stoichiometric ratio (1:1:3) produced the desired fractal architecture in near‐quantitative yield. Characterization was accomplished by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and transmission electron microscopy.     

Sulfonamide‐Promoted Palladium(II)‐Catalyzed Alkylation of Unactivated Methylene C(sp3)H Bonds with Alkyl Iodides

The alkylation of unactivated β‐methylene C(sp³)? H bonds of α‐amino acid substrates with a broad range of alkyl iodides using Pd(OAc)₂ as the catalyst is described. The addition of NaOCN and 4‐Cl‐C₆H₄SO₂NH₂ was found to be crucial for the success of this transformation. The reaction is compatible with a diverse array of functional groups and proceeds with high diastereoselectivity. Furthermore, various β,β‐hetero‐dialkyl‐ and β‐alkyl‐β‐aryl‐α‐amino acids were prepared by sequential C(sp³)? H functionalization of an alanine‐derived substrate, thus providing a versatile strategy for the stereoselective synthesis of unnatural β‐disubstituted α‐amino acids.     

Neo‐Fused Hexaphyrin: A Molecular Puzzle Containing an N‐Linked Pentaphyrin

The first neo‐confused hexaphyrin(1.1.1.1.1.0) was synthesized by oxidative ring closure of a hexapyrrane bearing two terminal “confused” pyrroles. The new compound displays a folded conformation with a short interpyrrolic C???N distance of 3.102 Å, and thus it readily underwent ring fusion to afford a neo‐fused hexaphyrin with an unprecedented 5,5,5,7‐tetracyclic ring structure. Furthermore, coordination of Cu^II triggered a ring opening/contracting reaction to afford a Cu^II complex of an N‐linked pentaphyrin derivative. The roles of reactive N? C bonds in the porphyrinoid macrocycles were demonstrated.     

Palladium‐catalyzed synthesis of 6‐allylcoumarins using organotin reagents as multicoupling organometallic nucleophiles

Derivatives of 6‐iodocoumarin undergoing a direct Stille cross‐coupling reaction with organotin compounds in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(PPh₃)₄ in dimethylformamide at 80°C is described in this study. It is the first report of the palladium‐catalyzed coupling of iodocoumarins with allyltributyltin under mild conditions to form alkylcoumarin compounds in good yields. © 2014 The Authors.

Well‐Defined Iron Complexes as Efficient Catalysts for “Green” Atom‐Transfer Radical Polymerization of Styrene,Methyl Methacrylate,and Butyl Acrylate with Low Catalyst Loadings and Catalyst Recycling

Environmentally friendly iron(II) catalysts for atom‐transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) were synthesized by careful selection of the nitrogen substituents of N,N,N‐trialkylated‐1,4,9‐triazacyclononane (R₃TACN) ligands. Two types of structures were confirmed by crystallography: “[(R₃TACN)FeX₂]” complexes with relatively small R groups have ionic and dinuclear structures including a [(R₃TACN)Fe(μ‐X)₃Fe(R₃TACN)]⁺ moiety, whereas those with more bulky R groups are neutral and mononuclear. The twelve [(R₃TACN)FeX₂]_n complexes that were synthesized were subjected to bulk ATRP of styrene, methyl methacrylate (MMA), and butyl acrylate (BA). Among the iron complexes examined, [{(cyclopentyl)₃TACN}FeBr₂] ( 4 b ) was the best catalyst for the well‐controlled ATRP of all three monomers. This species allowed easy catalyst separation and recycling, a lowering of the catalyst concentration needed for the reaction, and the absence of additional reducing reagents. The lowest catalyst loading was accomplished in the ATRP of MMA with 4 b (59 ppm of Fe based on the charged monomer). Catalyst recycling in ATRP with low catalyst loadings was also successful. The ATRP of styrene with 4 b (117 ppm Fe atom) was followed by precipitation from methanol to give polystyrene that contained residual iron below the calculated detection limit (0.28 ppm). Mechanisms that involve equilibria between the multinuclear and mononuclear species were also examined.
