Disk-shaped Symmetric Hexa-substituted Triphenylene Derivatives: Synthesis,Physical Properties and Self-assembly

A series of triphenylene derivatives with six symmetric substituents was synthesized from hexabromotriphenylene. The synthesis was conducted by six-fold palladium-catalyzed Hagihara-Sonogashira cross- coupling reactions to yield the hexa-alkynyl substituted triphenylene derivatives of HTP1, HTP2, HTP3 and HTP4. The six symmetric substituents can not only endow the triphenylene the longer π-conjugated range, but also increase the solubility of the compounds. Their photophysical, electrochemical, thermal properties were investigated respectively. With the comparison of their properties, the structure-property relationships were established which demonstrated the influences of different substituents on the electronic nature and the mesomorphic phase of these disk-shaped molecules. In addition, with the scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and polarized optical microscopy(POM) characterization, the self-assembly behaviors of the compounds were also investigated.

用MP2方法,TZVPP基组以及基组重叠误差(BSSE)校正计算了氢分子与修饰在多孔芳香骨架(PAF)上的羧酸镁、羧酸钙官能团的相互作用,并建立了描述这一相互作用的分子力学力场.在此基础上用巨正则系综蒙特卡洛(GCMC)模拟预测了氢气在该种新型PAF材料上的吸附等温线.量子化学计算结果表明,每个羧酸镁、羧酸钙官能团分别可以提供13、14个氢分子吸附位点,与每个氢分子的平均结合能在8kJ·mol-1左右.通过比较不同温度和压力下材料的绝对吸附量和超额吸附量发现,在PAF骨架中引入羧酸镁、羧酸钙官能团可以显著提高材料的综合储氢性能,达到并超过了美国能源部提出的2015年储氢标准.同时该工作还揭示了氢吸附量与材料的表面积、空腔体积和分子作用强度间的复杂关系.     

A new dual fluorescent probe preparation and its biodiagnose function in vitro

A new dual fluorescent probe was prepared by encapsulating the complex of cerium (III) and quinizarin into silica nanoparticles. Cerium (III) and quinizarin can form a stable dual fluorescent complex in ethanol, but this complex would dissociate in the aqueous medium, which limited its application in biosystem. So, such complex was encapsulated inside the silica nanoparticles to solve this problem. The results indicated that the stability and water solubility of the complex were greatly improved after been encapsulated into the silica nanoparticles. In addition, its dual fluorescent probe function was studied in vitro.     

Novel asymmetrical pyrene derivatives as light emitting materials: Synthesis and photophysics

A series of novel substituted pyrene derivatives with asymmetrical groups have been successfully synthesized in excellent yield. Structures of the asymmetrical compound were fully characterized by ¹H-NMR, IR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. By introducing ethynyl functions to pyrene, we obtained highly efficient blue and green light emitting materials. It has been demonstrated that the emission characteristics of pyrene derivatives have been bathochromatically tuned in the visible region by extending the π-conjugation. The photophysical properties of these compounds were carefully examined in different organic solvents and different concentrations. The electrochemical properties and geometrical electronic structures of the new pyrene derivatives have been investigated by cyclic voltammograms and density functional theory (DFT) calculations.     

Magnetic carbon nanotubes synthesis by Fenton's reagent method and their potential application for removal of azo dye from aqueous solution

We report a simple and easy method to fabricate magnetic carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by Fenton's reagent method without the addition of any cations. H(2)O(2) was added slowly into the FeSO(4) solution mixed with purified CNTs, and the resulting reactants were placed into a quartz tube to undergo heat treatment under a nitrogen/hydrogen flow. Iron oxide (Fe(2)O(3)) nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed on CNTs without any pretreatment such as strong acid or covalent functionalization processes. The as-produced magnetic CNTs were used as an adsorbent for removal of methyl orange (MO) dye from aqueous solutions. Adsorption experiments indicated that the magnetic CNTs have good adsorption capacity (q(e)) of MO (28 mg/g). The Freundlich isotherm model fitted the experiment data better than the Langmuir isotherm mode. The mean energy of adsorption was calculated as 3.72 kJ/mol based on the Dubinin-Radushkevich model, which suggests that the removal process was dominated by physical adsorption. Kinetic regression results showed that the adsorption kinetics was more accurately represented by a pseudo second-order model. Intra-particle diffusion was involved in the adsorption process, but it was not the only rate-controlling step. More importantly, a new photocatalytic regeneration technology can be enabled by the high nanoscale iron oxide loading (50%). The magnetic CNT adsorbents could be effectively and quickly separated by applying an external magnetic field and regenerated by UV photocatalysis. Therefore, CNTs/λ-Fe(2)O(3) hybrid is a promising magnetic nanomaterial for preconcentration and separation of organic pollutants for environmental remediation.     

Development of a ReaxFF reactive force field for ettringite and study of its mechanical failure modes from reactive dynamics simulations

Ettringite is a hexacalcium aluminate trisulfate hydrate mineral that forms during Portland cement hydration. Its presence plays an important role in controlling the setting rate of the highly reactive aluminate phases in cement paste and has also been associated with severe cracking in cured hardened cement. To understand how it forms and how its properties influence those of hardened cement and concrete, we have developed a first-principles-based ReaxFF reactive force field for Ca/Al/H/O/S. Here, we report on the development of this ReaxFF force field and on its validation and application using reactive molecular dynamics (RMD) simulations to characterize and understand the elastic, plastic, and failure response of ettringite at the atomic scale. The ReaxFF force field was validated by comparing the lattice parameters, pairwise distribution functions, and elastic constants of an ettringite crystal model obtained from RMD simulations with those from experiments. The predicted results are in close agreement with published experimental data. To characterize the atomistic failure modes of ettringite, we performed stress-strain simulations to find that Ca-O bonds are responsible for failure of the calcium sulfate and tricalcium aluminate (C3A) column in ettringite during uniaxial compression and tension and that hydrogen bond re-formation during compression induces an increase in plastic strain beyond the material's stress-strain proportionality limit. These results provide essential insight into understanding the mechanistic role of this mineral in cement and concrete degradation, and the ReaxFF potential developed in this work serves as a fundamental tool to further study the kinetics of hydration in cement and concrete.
