Metal-free and selective cleavage of unstrained carbon–carbon single bonds: Synthesis of β-ketosulfones from β-chlorohydrins and sodium sulfinates

A metal-free protocol for the selective cleavage of unstrained C–C single bonds was developed. Under the catalysis of KI and in the presence of NaHCO₃, the readily available α-chloro-β-hydroxy ketones underwent bond breaking and sulfonylation smoothly to afford β-ketosulfones with high efficiency and broad substrate scope. Mechanism investigations, both experimental and theoretical, showed that a retro-aldol cleavage/nucleophilic substitution sequence might be involved.     

Copper-catalyzed amidation of benzoic acids using tetraalkylthiuram disulfides as amine sources

A facile method for the copper-catalyzed synthesis of N-substituted benzamides was explored. In the presence of CuBr and di-tert-butyl peroxide, various N-substituted benzamides were prepared through amidation of benzoic acid by using commercially available and cheap tetraalkylthiuram disulfides as amine sources. With this protocol, a series of 14 N-substituted benzamides were furnished in good to excellent yields. The broad substrate scope and good to excellent yield show its practical synthetic value in organic synthesis.     

Colorimetric determination of Cu2+ in simulated wastewater using naphthalimide-based Schiff base

A new Cu²⁺-selective colorimetric sensor was developed by combining the chromophore 3-hydroxynaphthalimide with diaminomaleonitrile. The sensor showed Cu²⁺-selective colorimetric signaling behavior in dimethylsulfoxide, indicated by a solution color change from yellow to pink, which was readily discernible without any external devices. Practical application of the sensor to the detection of Cu²⁺ in an aqueous solution containing other environmentally relevant metal ions by selective two-phase liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate was possible. Particularly, extractive signaling of Cu²⁺ in simulated semiconductor wastewater with a readily-usable smartphone as a colorimetric data capture and analysis tool was successfully conducted.     

Improvement of interfacial adhesion in PP/PS blends enhanced with supersonic atmosphere plasma spraying surface‐treated carbon fiber

The effects of surface treatment of a carbon fiber (CF) by supersonic atmosphere plasma spraying (SAPS) on the interfacial adhesion behavior and morphology of polypropylene/polystyrene (PP/PS) matrix blends filled CF composites were investigated. Effects of surface treated a commercial CF on mechanical properties are studied. Contact angle was measured to examine the changes in wettability of the CF. The chemical and morphological changes were characterized by using X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. PP/PS/CF composites were fabricated with and without SAPS treatment, and their interlaminar fracture toughnesses were compared. The results showed that the interlaminar shear strength of composites has been greatly improved filled SAPS modification CF. The water contact angle of resin sample decreased 50% after addition of SAPS surface‐treated CF. Scanning electron microscopy results on the fractured surface exhibited PP/PS blends adhered well around the CFs of the SAPS‐treated specimen compared with that of the untreated specimen. This attributed to the CF interlock, and it improves the wetting between fibers and resins. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

基于杂交链式反应辅助多重信号放大的端粒酶灵敏检测

端粒酶是真核细胞维持端粒长度的关键逆转录酶,其生物活性的高低可以为多种癌症的临床诊断和预后治疗提供有价值的信息.本研究以人宫颈癌细胞(HeLa细胞)裂解液中的端粒酶为研究对象,通过借助杂交链式反应辅助多重信号放大策略,提出了一种新颖、灵敏的检测端粒酶电化学方法.首先将端粒酶的延伸引物自组装在金电极表面,当端粒酶存在时,端粒酶能够催化引物的延伸,产生与发卡环探针H1部分互补的序列,进而引发杂交链式反应,形成由两个发卡环探针(H1和H2)交替杂交而形成的DNA长链.由于H1和H2末端均修饰有生物素,加入链霉亲和素修饰辣根过氧化物酶后,辣根过氧化物酶被被连接到电极表面,催化邻苯二胺氧化生成2,3-二氨基吩嗪,产生显著的电化学信号.实验结果表明,本研究建立的端粒酶电化学检测方法高效、可行,线性范围宽,灵敏度高,可以检测每毫升10个HeLa细胞裂解液中的端粒酶.本方法具有较好的选择性,能有效区分端粒酶和对照蛋白.     

Plastic flow and dislocation structure at small strains in OFHC copper deformed in tension,torsion and combined tension-torsion

OFHC copper specimens of 39 μm grain size were deformed to small strains (up to 8%) in tension, torsion and combined tension-torsion at 300 K and the resulting dislocation structures, distributions and densities were determined using transmission electron microscopy. Employing the von Mises yield criterion and the plastic-work hypothesis good agreement was obtained for the three testing conditions for (i) equivalent stress $\text{}\text{?}$gs vs equivalent strain $\text{}\text{?}$g3^p curves, (ii) the dislocation structure, distribution and density ρ as a function of $\text{}\text{?}$g3^p, and (iii) $\text{}\text{?}$gs as a function of $\text{ρ}\text{1}\text{2}$. Furthermore, upon comparing the $\text{}\text{?}$gs vs $\text{ρ}\text{1}\text{2}$ curve for polycrystalline copper with the τ_RSS vs $\text{ρ}\text{1}\text{2}$ curve for single crystals, an average Taylor factor M= (σ/τ_RSS) of approximately 3.2 was obtained, which is in good accord with that predicted theoretically for FCC metals. Almost equally good correlations for the stressstrain curves and for the dislocation density were obtained on the basis of maximum shear stress τ_max and maximum shear strain γ^p_max as on the basis of $\text{}\text{?}$gs and $\text{}\text{?}$g3^P. Therefore, the present results do not permit a positive decision on the question whether the dislocation density correlates better with $\text{}\text{?}$gs and $\text{}\text{?}$g3^P or with τ_max and γ^P_max.A single test in which the direction of straining in torsion was reversed yielded a density and distribution of dislocations (and a corresponding value of $\text{}\text{?}$gs) equivalent to those that developed at a smaller strain in unidirectional straining.     

求解双参数层状地基模型的积分变换法

计算弹性地基梁板时，大都采用文克尔地基模型。由于该模型过于简化，不能正确反映土的工程性质，为此本文提出了一种双参数层状地基模型。该模型由一系列的弹性层组成，并对每一层中应力应变分布做了假设。通过积分变换的方法可以求出每一层表面处位移与力之间的关系，进而形成层刚度矩阵。按照有限元法的原理，可把每一层的刚度矩阵凝聚成总体刚度矩阵进行求解。本文模型是V1azov模型的延伸和发展。通过与V1azov模型计算结果的比较，证明本文方法是正确的。并且本文得到了荷载作用于层状模型内部时的解答，为将双参数地基模型用于桩基分析打下了理论基础。     

Delayed Fluorescent Emission from Pyrene Doped Phenanthrene Nanoparticles Based on Triplet-triplet Energy Transfer

Doped nanoparticles were prepared from pyrene and phenanthrene using a facile reprecipitation method. The doped nanoparticles presented unique delayed fluorescent emissions of pyrene under the unprotected condition. The ratio of the intensity of delayed fluorescence (I_DF) to that of phosphorescence (I_P) is about 4:1, which almost keeps unchanged with the decrease of pyrene content at room temperature. The intensity of the delayed fluorescence emissions is dependent on the relative content of pyrene, as well as the aggregation degree of nanoparticles. The delayed emissions are contributed to efficient triplet‐triplet energy transfer from phenanthrene (donor) to pyrene (acceptor). Steady fluorescence measurement have proved that the singlet‐singlet energy transfer process was also existent dominated by the radiation energy transfer mechanism.
