NH4I/1,10-phenanthroline catalyzed direct sulfenylation of N-heteroarenes with ethyl arylsulfinates

An efficient synthesis of N-heterocyclic aryl sulfides via NH₄I/1,10-phenanthroline-catalyzed direct sulfenylation reactions was reported. In this reaction, heteroarenes such as indoles, and pyrroles serve as nucleophiles by installing a arylthio group at the C3 and C2 position of heterocycles, respectively. With readily accessible and free of unpleasant odor ethyl arylsulfinates as sulfur reagents, the metal-free-catalyzed direct sulfenylation of N-heteroarenes has been developed. 3-Arylthio-indoles and 2-arylthio-pyrroles derivatives were obtained in moderate to excellent yields, even on gram scale. The reaction was general for a broad scope of substrates and demonstrated good tolerance to a variety of functional groups.     

Non‐3d Metal Modulation of a Cobalt Imidazolate Framework for Excellent Electrocatalytic Oxygen Evolution in Neutral Media

Cobalt imidazolate frameworks are classical electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) but suffer from the relatively low activity. Here, a non‐3d metal modulation strategy is presented for enhancing the OER activity of cobalt imidazolate frameworks. Two isomorphous frameworks [Co₄(MO₄)(eim)₆] (M=Mo or W, Heim=2‐ethylimidazole) having Co(eim)₃(MO₄) units and high water stabilities were designed and synthesized. In different neutral media, the Mo‐modulated framework coated on a glassy carbon electrode shows the best OER performances (1 mA cm^?2 at an overpotential of 210 mV in CO₂‐saturated 0.5 m KHCO₃ electrolyte and 2/10/22 mA cm^?2 at overpotential of 388/490/570 mV in phosphate buffer solution) among non‐precious metal catalysts and even outperforms RuO₂. Spectroscopic measurements and computational simulations revealed that the non‐3d metals modulate the electronic structure of Co for optimum reactant/product adsorption and tailor the energy of rate‐determining step to a more moderate value.     

A Noble‐Metal‐Free Metal–Organic Framework (MOF) Catalyst for the Highly Efficient Conversion of CO2 with Propargylic Alcohols

Cyclization of propargylic alcohols with CO₂ is an important reaction in industry, and noble‐metal catalysts are often employed to ensure the high product yields under environmentally friendly conditions. Herein a porous noble‐metal‐free framework 1 with large 1D channels of 1.66 nm diameter was synthesized for this reaction. Compound 1 exhibits excellent acid/base stability, and is even stable in corrosive triethylamine for one month. Catalytic studies indicate that 1 is an effective catalyst for the cyclization of propargylic alcohols and CO₂ without any solvents under mild conditions, and the turnover number (TON) can reach to a record value of 14 400. Furthermore, this MOF catalyst also has rarely seen catalytic activity when the biological macromolecule ethisterone was used as a substrate. Mechanistic studies reveal that the synergistic catalytic effect between Cu^I and In^III plays a key role in the conversion of CO₂.     

二维纳米片组成的花状铁醇盐及其微纳结构三氧化二铁衍生物的储锂性能

Fe₂O₃作为锂电池负极材料具有诸多优点,但其较低的本征电导率和充放电循环过程中材料粉化使得其电化学储锂性能有待改善。 本文以具有花状微纳结构的铁醇盐为反应中间体,在空气气氛下烧结制备出具有花状微纳结构的铁基负极材料Fe₂O₃。 纳米花状的铁醇盐可以在低烧结温度下转化为目标产物,从而使得产物能够保持中间体的形貌。 300 ℃热处理条件下,所得样品在电流密度为200 mA/g时首次放电比容量为1360 mA·h/g,循环100次后的容量仍然达到515.6 mA·h/g;相比之下,450和800 ℃热处理所得样品100次循环后,比容量分别为247.6和206.7 mA·h/g。 微纳结构在增加材料的活性的同时,也能够抑制材料的粉化现象,因而所制得的材料表现出较大的比容量和良好的循环性能,为解决Fe₂O₃负极材料循环性能差的问题提供了思路。

多功能脂质体递药系统

脂质体是第一种成功进入临床应用,也是目前进入临床应用最多的一类纳米递药体系,将药物装载于脂质体中可以实现降低非特异性吸收、提高靶组织的富集量、降低副作用等目的。但是当前的脂质体技术仍然存在着诸多缺陷,例如载药量低以及靶向效果差等。新的脂质体载药技术的发展使得脂质体的载药量和包封率有了很大的提升。将热、激光、超声、离子辐射等外源物理刺激与脂质体药物结合可以提高脂质体药物在肿瘤的富集量,同时调节药物的释放。脂质体独特的核壳结构使得脂质体可以同时装载多种药物从而实现联合给药,通过合理设计脂质体纳米材料的结构不仅能够实现多种药物的递送,还能够实现药物的程序性释放。脂质体不仅能够装载治疗性药物,还能装载具有造影功能的组分,从而实现对治疗过程的影像监控。本文将主要介绍近五年在脂质体的载药方法、靶向给药、药物控释、联合给药、影像可视化等方面的一些重要进展。

Unique Thia‐Baeyer–Villiger‐Type Oxidation of Dibenzothiophene Sulfoxides Derivatives

The present research has demonstrated that selective C?S bond cleavages of dibenzothiophene and its derivatives are feasible by thia‐Baeyer–Villiger type oxidation, i. e. the oxygen insertion process within a sulfoxide‐carbon linkage, in the presence of porphyrin iron (III) and by ultraviolet irradiation originating from sunlight, high pressure Hg‐lamp or residentially germicidal ultraviolet lamp under very mild conditions. This reaction with tert‐butylhydroperoxide at 30.0 °C leads to dibenzo[1,2]oxathiin‐6‐oxide ( PBS ) in 83.2 % isolated yield or its hydrated products, 2‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)‐benzenesulfinic derivatives ( HPBS ) in near 100 % yield based HPLC data. PBS and HPBS are a type of biological products detected on the C?S bond cleavage step through various oxidative biodesulfurization ( OBDS ) pathways, and are useful synthetic intermediates and fine chemicals. These observations may contribute on understanding delicately molecular aspect of OBDS in the photosynthesis system, expanding the C‐S cleavage chemistry of S‐heterocyclic compounds and approaching toward biomemic desulfurization with respect to converting sulfur contaminants to chemically beneficial blocks as needed and performing under the ambient conditions.
