A convergence of photo‐bergman cyclization and intramolecular chain collapse towards polymeric nanoparticles

Employing enediynes as crosslinking precursors, a novel yet efficient strategy, namely photo‐triggered Bergman cyclization, was integrated with intramolecular chain collapse to yield polymeric nanoparticles with the size regime below 20 nm. Enediyne motif was designed delicately to possess a high photo‐reactivity, with the double bond locked in a methyl benzoate ring while triple bonds substituted with phenyls. Single electron transfer‐living radical polymerization was conducted to provide linear acrylate copolymers with controlled molecular weights and narrow polydispersities. Poly(butylarylate‐co‐ 5 ) went through UV‐irradiation with a concurrent Bergman cyclization, resulting in well‐defined ultrafine polymeric nanoparticles. Results from NMR, Raman scattering, photoluminescence and UV‐vis spectra corroborated the presence of conjugative structures in the polymeric nanoparticles, indicating the occurrence of photo‐induced Bergman cyclization. A series of other acrylate‐based nanoparticles were investigated to confirm the applicability of such a unique strategy in thermal sensitive but UV‐stable polymeric structures, making photo‐Bergman cyclization a promising tool towards polymeric nanoparticles. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Chiral crystal of a C2v‐symmetric 1,3‐diazaaulene derivative showing efficient optical second harmonic generation

Achiral nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophores 1,3‐diazaazulene derivatives, 2‐(4′‐aminophenyl)‐6‐nitro‐1,3‐diazaazulene (APNA) and 2‐(4′‐N,N‐diphenylaminophenyl)‐6‐nitro‐1,3‐diazaazulene (DPAPNA), were synthesized with high yield. Despite the moderate static first hyperpolarizabilities (β₀) for both APNA [(136 ± 5) × 10^?30 esu] and DPAPNA [(263 ± 20) × 10^?30 esu], only APNA crystal shows a powder efficiency of second harmonic generation (SHG) of 23 times that of urea. It is shown that the APNA crystallization driven cooperatively by the strong H‐bonding network and the dipolar electrostatic interactions falls into the noncentrosymmetric P2₁2₁2₁ space group, and that the helical supramolecular assembly is solely responsible for the efficient SHG response. To the contrary, the DPAPNA crystal with centrosymmetric P‐1 space group is packed with antiparalleling dimmers, and is therefore completely SHG‐inactive. 1,3‐Diazaazulene derivatives are suggested to be potent building blocks for SHG‐active chiral crystals, which are advantageous in high thermal stability, excellent near‐infrared transparency and high degree of designing flexibility. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Hydrolytic Ring Opening Reactions of Pyromellitic Dianhydride for Divalent Transition Metal Carboxylate Complexes

The hydrolytic ring opening reactions of pyromellitic dianhydride is an effective method to prepare transition metal carboxylate complexes. In this paper, two dinuclear complexes [Ni₂(2,2′‐bipy)₂(btec)(H₂O)₆] · 2H₂O ( 1 ) and [Cd₂ (phen)₄(H₂O)₂(H₂btec)] · H₂btec · 2H₂O ( 2 ) (H₄btec = 1,2,4,5‐benzenetetracarboxylic acid, phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline, and 2,2′‐bipy = 2,2′‐bipyridine) were synthesized by slow diffusion methods and their structures were determined byX‐ray structure analysis. In both structures metal atoms are in distorted octahedral environments and they are linked by bis‐monodentately coordinated 1,2,4,5‐benzentetracarboxylate ligands as bridging units. The crystalline compounds, which are insoluble in water as well as common organic solvents, have been characterized in the solid‐state by elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, IR, and diffuse reflectance UV/Visspectroscopy. Moreover, the study of the physical properties of complex 2 demonstrates that it exhibits blue fluorescence emission in the solid state at room temperature.     

Oleanane‐Type Triterpenoids from the Endophytic Fungus Pestalotiopsis clavispora Isolated from the Chinese Mangrove Plant Bruguiera sexangula

Three new triterpenoid derivatives, named (15α)‐15‐hydroxysoyasapogenol B ( 1 ), (7β,15α)‐7,15‐dihydroxysoyasapogenol B ( 2 ), and (7β)‐7,29‐dihydroxysoyasapogenol B ( 3 ), were isolated from cultures of the plant endophytic fungus Pestalotiopsis clavispora. Their structures and relative configurations were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis and X‐ray crystallography.     

植物导水模型初探

目前世界上对于植物长距离水分运输的微观机理假说存在争论。据此本文初步讨论了植物的导水模型。从流体力学角度讨论了水分在植物体内的运动状态,得出导管中的水分流动是在层流的状态下进行,且必须考虑粘性的作用;通过分析流体的层流运动,建立了导管中一维的流体模型,并简化导管以连续的梯形圆柱排列;分析受力,列出N-S方程,并求解出了一维导管模型的半径与压力梯度和各节管长的关系表达式。研究结果表明,模型中每一节导管的水受力都是平衡的,且各节之间相互独立。
