A chiral polymer‐based turn‐on fluorescent sensor for specific recognition of hydrogen sulfate

A new kind of polymeric chemosensor containing chiral naphthaldimine moiety in the side chain was synthesized by the reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer polymerization of N‐{[2‐(4‐vinylbenzyloxy)‐1‐naphthyl]‐methylene}‐(S)‐2‐phenylglycinol (VNP). The resulting polymers (PVNP) showed high selectivity for hydrogen sulfate relative to other anions including F^?, Cl^?, Br^?, H₂PO, CH₃CO, and NO in tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution as judged from UV?vis, fluorescence, and circular dichroism spectrophotometric titrations. Compared with its monomer, the polymer has proven to be more attractive for detection of HSO in terms of sensitivity and reproducibility. Upon addition of the anion it gives remarkable spectral responses concomitant with detectable color change from colorless to pale yellow. Furthermore, the HSO‐induced CD or fluorescence signal can be totally reversed with addition of base and eventually recovered the initial state, leading to a reproducible molecular switch with two distinguished “on” and “off” states. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Highly Efficient Electrocatalysts for Oxygen Reduction Based on 2D Covalent Organic Polymers Complexed with Non‐precious Metals

A class of 2D covalent organic polymers (COPs) incorporating a metal (such as Fe, Co, Mn) with precisely controlled locations of nitrogen heteroatoms and holes were synthesized from various N‐containing metal–organic complexes (for example, metal–porphyrin complexes) by a nickel‐catalyzed Yamamoto reaction. Subsequent carbonization of the metal‐incorporated COPs led to the formation of COP‐derived graphene analogues, which acted as efficient electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction in both alkaline and acid media with a good stability and free from any methanol‐crossover/CO‐poisoning effects.     

Metallogel Template Fabrication of pH‐Responsive Copolymer Nanowires Loaded with Silver Nanoparticles and Their Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue

Poly(N,N′‐methylenebisacrylamide–4‐vinylpyridine) (P(MBA‐4VP)) nanowires loaded with silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) have been fabricated by silver metallogel template copolymerization, and subsequently, silver ions are reduced instead of the template being removed. Ag NPs with a diameter of 5–15 nm were dispersed throughout the core of P(MBA‐4VP) nanowires. The size and distribution of the formed Ag NPs could be finely controlled by reduction time. The pH sensitivity of P(MBA‐4VP) nanowires offers the possibility of Ag NP release from the nanowires under acidic conditions. The photocatalytic performance of the P(MBA‐4VP) nanowires loaded with Ag NPs was evaluated for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under UV light irradiation. Their rate of degradation is dependent on the content and size of the Ag NPs, as well as the pH values of the MB solution. Moreover, the P(MBA‐4VP) nanowires loaded with Ag NPs exhibited high photostability, and the photocatalytic efficiency reduced by only 1.81 % after being used three times.

Synthesis and selective recognition toward zinc ion of chiral poly(imine‐triazole)

A novel AB type of clickable monomer, (S)‐2‐[(2‐azido‐1‐phenylethylimino)methyl]‐5‐propargyloxyphenol (AMPP) was designed and polymerized to yield a class of main‐chain chiral poly(imine‐triazole)s through the metal‐free click reaction. With the thermally induced polymerization, the desired polytriazoles can be easily prepared in high yields by a stepwise heating‐up process and have the number‐average molecular masses ranging from 5.1 × 10³ to 58.1 × 10³ (polydispersity indices = 1.38?1.68). The polymers were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ¹H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), and gel permeation chromatography, and their optical properties were studied by fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopies. As a chemosensor, these polymers exhibited a selective “turn‐on” fluorescence enhancement response toward Zn²⁺ ion over other cations such as Na⁺, K⁺, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, Ag⁺, Pb²⁺, Cd²⁺, Hg²⁺, Mn²⁺, and Ni²⁺ in dimethyl sulfoxide. However, the Zn²⁺‐induced fluorescence signal was subject to serious interference by Al³⁺, Cu²⁺, Cr³⁺, and Fe³⁺ ions. Interestingly, the chiral polymer showed distinctive changes in the CD spectra on complexation with Zn²⁺, which allowed for the discrimination of this ion in the presence of other species tested including those interfering ions observed in the fluorescent detection. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A Desulfonylative Approach in Oxidative Gold Catalysis: Regiospecific Access to Donor‐Substituted Acyl Gold Carbenes

Donor‐substituted acyl gold carbenes are challenging to access selectively by gold‐promoted intermolecular oxidation of internal alkynes as the opposite regioisomers frequently predominate. By using alkynyl sulfones or sulfonates as substrates, the oxidative gold catalysis in the presence of substituted pyridine N‐oxides offers regiospecific access to acyl/aryl, acyl/alkenyl, and acyl/alkoxy gold carbenes by in situ expulsion of sulfur dioxide. The intermediacies of these reactive species are established by their reactivities, including undergoing further oxidation by the same oxidant, cyclopropanation of styrenes, engaging in a [3+2] cycloaddition with α‐methylstyrene, and conversion into dienones.
