Separation of new antidiabetic agent,N-(trans-4-isopropylcyclohexylcarbonyl)-d-phenylalanine and three related compounds by RP-HPLC

Summary A high-performance liquid chromatographic method is proposed for the simultaneous separation of two pairs of isomers:N-(trans-4-isopropylcyclohexylcarbonyl)-d-phenylalanine, (Nateglinide) andN-(cis-4-isopropylcyclohexylcarbonyl)-d-phenylalanine,trans-4-isopropylcyclohexane-carboxylic acid andcis-4-isopropyl-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid using a C₁₈ column. The mobile phase is a ternary mixture of acetonitrile-methanol-0.1 M ammonium dihydrogen phosphate buffer, pH 3.0 (5:2:4 v/v/v) and UV detection at 210 nm. Precision, linearity, limit of detection and recovery were also evaluated for each compound. Satisfactory results were obtained.

Krempenes A–D: A Series of Unprecedented Pregnane‐Type Steroids from the Marine Soft Coral Cladiella krempfi

Four new pregnane‐type steroids, krempenes A–D ( 1 – 4 ), were isolated from the marine soft coral Cladiella krempfi. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of 1D‐ and 2D‐NMR analyses, as well as MS experiments. Krempene A ( 1 ) contains a very unusual structural motif, with a hexacyclic oxadithiino unit fused to the steroidal ring A. Krempene B ( 2 ) is a 19‐norpregnane steroid, the 19‐Me group formally being transferred to position 4. Furthermore, krempene D contains an unusual C?C bond at C(7) of the pregnane skeleton.     

Hybridization of layered niobates with cationic dyes

The hybridization of two different types of organic polycations, 1,1’-dimethyl-4,4’-bipyridinium dications (methyl viologen, MV²⁺) and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(N-methyl-pyridinium-4-yl)-21H,23H-porphine tetracations (TMPyP⁴⁺), into layered niobates was investigated to construct an efficient dye-modified semiconductor for solar conversion and storage. Two different methods were employed for the direct intercalation of the cationic species, i.e., conventional ion-exchange with K₄Nb₆O₁₇ · 3H₂O as the starting host and a novel acid-base neutralization method with H₄Nb₆O₁₇ as the starting host. These two methods showed totally different behavior and the characteristic features of both will be discussed in relation to the structure of the hybrid formed, the amount of absorption observed for the guest molecules and the intercalation rates. An analysis of the photo-induced electron-transfer reactions will also be discussed to show how control of the intercalation of guest molecules affects the photofunctionality of these unique hybrids.     

Highly enhanced visible-light photocatalytic hydrogen evolution on g-C3N4 decorated with vopc through π-π interaction

Photocatalytic H₂ evolution reactions on pristine graphitic carbon nitrides (g-C₃N₄), as a promising approach for converting solar energy to fuel, are attractive for tackling global energy concerns but still suffer from low efficiencies. In this article, we report a tractable approach to modifying g-C₃N₄ with vanadyl phthalocyanine (VOPc/CN) for efficient visible-light-driven hydrogen production. A non-covalent VOPc/CN hybrid photocatalyst formed via π-π stacking interactions between the two components, as confirmed by analysis of UV-vis absorption spectra. The VOPc/CN hybrid photocatalyst shows excellent visible-light-driven photocatalytic performance and good stability. Under optimal conditions, the corresponding H₂ evolution rate is nearly 6 times higher than that of pure g-C₃N₄. The role of VOPc in promoting hydrogen evolution activity was to extend the visible light absorption range and prevent the recombination of photoexcited electron-hole pairs effectively. It is expected that this facile modification method could be a new inspiration for the rational design and exploration of g-C₃N₄-based hybrid systems with strong light absorption and high-efficiency carrier separation.

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XANES) Single crystals of the derivatives of the UCl₃-type structure Na_3xM_2–xCl₆ (M = La/x = 0.364(4); Ce/0.349(5); Pr/0.318(8); Nd/0.305(5); Sm/0.246(4)) and NaSm₂Cl₆ were grown by different methods generally under reducing conditions. They are addition [Na(Sm₂)Cl₆] and addition/substitution variants [Na_2x(Na_xM_2–x)Cl₆] of the UCl₃ structure type [□(U₂)Cl₆]. X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XANES) at the L_III edge characterizes NaSm₂Cl₆ and NaNd₂Cl₆ as mixed-valence compounds with valences of +2 and +3 in statistical distribution (approximately 1:1) for Sm and Nd, respectively.
