A new class of neutral cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes with enantiomerically pure C(1)-symmetric phenol-oxazolines (3a,b) have been synthetized in high yields and fully characterized. Resolution of the corresponding Δ(R) and Λ(R) or Δ(S) and Λ(S) isomers was easily achieved by conventional flash chromatography. The corresponding Δ and Λ helicities have been confirmed by CD spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Regarding the absorption and luminescence properties with unpolarized light, no significant difference between Δ and Λ isomers has been observed. A strong blue luminescence is observed for deaerated solutions of complexes 5a and 5b in CH(3)CN. 相似文献
PLA MPs are prepared via a novel and toxic‐chemical‐free fabrication route using ethyl lactate, a green solvent and FDA‐approved aroma. MPs are obtained by a solution jet break‐up and solvent displacement method. Adjusting flow parameters allows the tuning of MPs size between 60 and 180 µm, with reduced polydispersity. Morphological analysis shows microporous particles with Janus‐like surface. A fluorophore is successfully loaded into the MPs during their formation step. This versatile green solvent‐based procedure is proven to be suitable for drug encapsulation and delivery applications. The method may be extended to different droplet generation techniques.
Fluorine-19 NMR chemical shifts have been calculated for a wide variety of fluorine-containing inorganic and organic molecules
by relativistic DFT methods. The agreement with experimental values, spanning the whole range from ClF to FOOF, is satisfactory
but somewhat less accurate than for comparable light nuclei. 19F shifts in uranium chlorofluorides have been analyzed in detail, and the poor agreement with experiment is partly rationalized. 相似文献
The present study reports on the synthesis and the electrochemical behavior of Na(0.71)CoO(2), a promising candidate as cathode for Na-based batteries. The material was obtained in two different morphologies by a double-step route, which is cheap and easy to scale up: the hydrothermal synthesis to produce Co(3)O(4) with tailored and nanometric morphology, followed by the solid-state reaction with NaOH, or alternatively with Na(2)CO(3), to promote Na intercalation. Both products are highly crystalline and have the P2-Na(0.71)CoO(2) crystal phase, but differ in the respective morphologies. The material obtained from Na(2)CO(3) have a narrow particle length (edge to edge) distribution and 2D platelet morphology, while those from NaOH exhibit large microcrystals, irregular in shape, with broad particle length distribution and undefined exposed surfaces. Electrochemical analysis shows the good performances of these materials as a positive electrode for Na-ion half cells. In particular, Na(0.71)CoO(2) thin microplatelets exhibit the best behavior with stable discharge specific capacities of 120 and 80 mAh g(-1) at 5 and 40 mA g(-1), respectively, in the range 2.0-3.9 V vs. Na(+)/Na. These outstanding properties make this material a promising candidate to construct viable and high-performance Na-based batteries. 相似文献

In this paper we report different theoretical approaches to study the gas-phase unimolecular dissociation of the doubly-charged cation [Ca(urea)](2+), in order to rationalize recent experimental findings. Quantum mechanical plus molecular mechanical (QM/MM) direct chemical dynamics simulations were used to investigate collision induced dissociation (CID) and rotational-vibrational energy transfer for Ar + [Ca(urea)](2+) collisions. For the picosecond time-domain of the simulations, both neutral loss and Coulomb explosion reactions were found and the differences in their mechanisms elucidated. The loss of neutral urea subsequent to collision with Ar occurs via a shattering mechanism, while the formation of two singly-charged cations follows statistical (or almost statistical) dynamics. Vibrational-rotational energy transfer efficiencies obtained for trajectories that do not dissociate during the trajectory integration were used in conjunction with RRKM rate constants to approximate dissociation pathways assuming complete intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution (IVR) and statistical dynamics. This statistical limit predicts, as expected, that at long time the most stable species on the potential energy surface (PES) dominate. These results, coupled with experimental CID from which both neutral loss and Coulomb explosion products were obtained, show that the gas phase dissociation of this ion occurs by multiple mechanisms leading to different products and that reactivity on the complicated PES is dynamically complex. 相似文献
The late transition metal catalyzed rearrangement of propargyl acetates offers an interesting platform for the development of synthetically useful transformations. We have recently shown that gold complexes can catalyze a highly selective tandem 1,2‐/1,2‐bis‐acetoxy migration in 1,4‐bis‐propargyl acetates to form 2,3‐bis‐acetoxy‐1,3‐dienes. In this way, (1Z,3Z)‐ or (1Z,3E)‐ and (1E,3Z)‐1,3‐dienes could be obtained in a stereocontrolled manner depending on the electronic and steric features of the ancillary ligand bound to gold and the substituents at the propargylic positions. In this work, we report an experimental study on the scope of this transformation, plus a detailed theoretical examination of the reaction mechanism, which has revealed the key features responsible for the reaction stereoselectivity. Synthetic applications towards the one‐pot synthesis of quinoxaline heterocycles and tandem Diels–Alder processes have also been devised. 相似文献
Colour emission of core-shell silica-PEG nanoparticles in water is tuned with an electrochemically induced energy transfer approach. The lack of solubility problems, side electrochemical reactions involving donors and acceptors within the nanoparticle, and the possibility of using many classes of dyes in ECL applications confirm the validity of this strategy. 相似文献
The coherent photoisomerization of a chromophore in condensed phase is a rare process in which light energy is funneled into specific molecular vibrations during electronic relaxation from the excited to the ground state. In this work, we employed ultrafast spectroscopy and computational methods to investigate the molecular origin of the coherent motion accompanying the photoisomerization of indanylidene–pyrroline (IP) molecular switches. UV/Vis femtosecond transient absorption gave evidence for an excited‐ and ground‐state vibrational wave packet, which appears as a general feature of the IP compounds investigated. In close resemblance to the coherent photoisomerization of rhodopsin, the sudden onset of a far‐red‐detuned and rapidly blue‐shifting photoproduct signature indicated that the population arriving on the electronic ground state after nonadiabatic decay through the conical intersection (CI) is still very focused in the form of a vibrational wave packet. Semiclassical trajectories were employed to investigate the reaction mechanism. Their analysis showed that coupled double‐bond twisting and ring inversions, already populated during the excited‐state reactive motion, induced periodic changes in π‐conjugation that modulate the ground‐state absorption after the non‐adiabatic decay. This prediction further supports that the observed ground‐state oscillation results from the reactive motion, which is in line with a biomimetic, coherent photoisomerization scenario. The IP compounds thus appear as a model system to investigate the mechanism of mode‐selective photomechanical energy transduction. The presented mechanism opens new perspectives for energy transduction at the molecular level, with applications to the design of efficient molecular devices. 相似文献
