Lamellar orientation on the surface of a polymer determined by ToF-SIMS and AFM

The fold and lateral surfaces of chain-folded lamellae of poly(bisphenol-A-co-etheroctane), containing both aliphatic CH₂ and aromatic segments, were investigated by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS). At low and high crystallization temperatures, the surfaces of the polymer films were shown to consist mainly of edge-on and flat-on lamellae, respectively. Surfaces with a mixture of edge-on and flat-on lamellae were produced at intermediate temperatures. The edge-on and flat-on lamellae were identified by using ions that recognize the flexible and rigid segments of the polymer. Ion images produced using selected ions that are related to the edge-on or flat-on orientation can be used to identify the location of these lamellae on the polymer surface. Our results indicate that ToF-SIMS can be used to detect different lamellar orientations at the surfaces of semi-crystalline polymers.     

A New Approach for Visual Cryptography

Visual cryptography is to encrypt a secret image into some shares (transparencies) such that any qualified subset of the shares can recover the secret visually. The conventional definition requires that the revealed secret images are always darker than the backgrounds. We observed that this is not necessary, in particular, for the textual images.In this paper, we proposed an improved definition for visual cryptography based on our observation, in which the revealed images may be darker or lighter than the backgrounds. We studied properties and obtained bounds for visual cryptography schemes based on the new definition. We proposed methods to construct visual cryptography schemes based on the new definition. The experiments showed that visual cryptography schemes based on our definition indeed have better pixel expansion in average.     

Copper(I)-catalyzed asymmetric alkene aziridination mediated by PhI(OAc)2: a facile one-pot procedure

A facile one-pot procedure for copper-catalyzed PhI(OAc)₂-mediated asymmetric alkene aziridination had been developed. Commercially available PhI(OAc)₂ and sulfonamides were used to generate the nitrene precursors (PhINR) in situ for olefin aziridination. This one-pot procedure had been optimized using 4-nitrobenzenesulfonamide as the nitrene source. With 5 mol % of the chiral copper catalyst, these conditions afforded 94% yield of the isolated product with 75% ee. We had also developed a simple and rapid method to monitor the rate of this one-pot aziridination.     

负载型钼系超细催化剂的合成,结构与反应性能研究

负载型钼系催化剂广泛用于加氢脱硫、抗硫甲烷化及部分氧化等,其加氢脱硫活性与低温氧的表面吸附量成正比,活性组分受载体性质的影响。超细粒子是近年来兴起的新型催化材料,由于其表面及体积效应,导致其特殊的表面吸附性能。以超临界法合成NiO/Al_2O_3、Fe_2O_3/SiO_2等超细催化剂已有报道,但该法对MoO_3/Al_2O_3的合成尚未见报道。本文以MoO_3/Al_2O_3超临界法合成超细粒子催化剂,根据超细催化剂分散性与粒径的关系选择了活性与钼表面分散性有依赖关系的临氢重整反应为探针,研究了超细MoO_3/Al_2O_3催化剂的性质。     

Optical-optical double-resonance spectroscopy of BaF: The E2Σ+ and F2Π states

Sub-Doppler optical-optical double-resonance excitation spectra of BaF were recorded using two single-mode cw dye lasers. In the 30 000-cm^?1 region, the electronic states observed were E²Σ⁺ and F²Π. The latter had been previously assigned as the “F²Σ⁺” state by Fowler [Phys. Rev.59, 645–652 (1941)]. The (3, 0) and (4, 0) bands of the E²Σ⁺-B²Σ⁺ transition and the (1, 0) and (2, 0) bands of the F²Π-B²Σ⁺ transition were rotationally analyzed. The molecular constants suggest inferences about the dominant atomic orbital character of the Rydberg molecular orbitals responsible for the E²Σ⁺ and F²Π electronic states. A new electronic state, the $\text{E′}{}^2\text{Π}$, is predicted. The molecular parameters obtained (in cm^?1, 1σ uncertainty in parentheses) are

A silica gel-supported ruthenium complex of 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane as recyclable catalyst for chemoselective oxidation of alcohols and alkenes by tert-butyl hydroperoxide   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Cheung WH  Yu WY  Yip WP  Zhu NY  Che CM 《The Journal of organic chemistry》2002,67(22):7716-7723

A silica gel-immobilized [(Me(3)tacn)Ru(III)(CF(3)COO)(2)(H(2)O)]CF(3)CO(2) complex (1-SiO(2), Me(3)tacn = 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane) was prepared by simple impregnation, and the catalyst was characterized by powdered X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption/desorption, Raman, and diffuse reflectance UV-vis spectroscopies. The supported Ru catalyst can effect facile oxidation of alcohols by tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP). Primary and secondary benzyl, allylic, and propargylic alcohols were transformed to their corresponding aldehydes and ketones in excellent yields; no oxidation of the C=C and Ctbd1;C bonds was observed for the allylic and propargylic alcohol oxidations. Likewise alkene epoxidation by TBHP can be achieved by 1-SiO(2); cycloalkenes such as norbornene and cyclooctene were oxidized to their exo-epoxides exclusively in excellent yields (>95%). The 1-SiO(2) catalyst can be recycled and reused for consecutive alcohol and alkene oxidations without significant loss of catalytic activity and selectivity; over 9000 turnovers have been attained for the oxidation of 1-phenyl-1-propanol to 1-phenyl-1-propanone. 4-Substituted phenols were oxidized by the "1 + TBHP" protocol to give exclusively ruthenium-catecholate complexes, which were characterized by UV-vis and ESI-MS spectroscopies. No (tert-butyldioxy)cyclohexadienone and other radical coupling/overoxidation products were produced using the "1 + TBHP" protocol. The formation of ruthenium-catecholate is proposed to proceed via ortho-hydroxylation of phenol.

Supramolecular structures and assembly and luminescent properties of quinacridone derivatives     

Ye K  Wang J  Sun H  Liu Y  Mu Z  Li F  Jiang S  Zhang J  Zhang H  Wang Y  Che CM 《The journal of physical chemistry. B》2005,109(16):8008-8016

The synthesis and single-crystal X-ray structures of two quinacridone derivatives, N,N'-di(n-butyl)quinacridone (1) and N,N'-di(n-butyl)-1,3,8,10-tetramethylquinacridone (2), are reported, and the 1H NMR, absorption, photoluminescent (PL), and electroluminescent (EL) characteristics are presented. Both these crystal structures are characterized by intermolecular pi...pi and hydrogen bonding interactions. The intermolecular pi...pi interactions lead to the formation of molecular columns in the solids of 1 and 2, and the interplanar contact distances between two adjacent molecules are 3.48 and 3.55 angstroms, respectively. Crystals of 1 display shorter intermolecular pi...pi contacts and higher density than 2. These results suggest that tighter intermolecular interactions exist in 1. The 1H NMR, absorption, and PL spectra of 1 and 2 in solutions exhibit concentration-dependent properties. The PL quantum yields of 1 in solutions decrease more quickly with the increase of concentration compared to that of 2 in solutions. For solid thin films of Alq3:1 (Alq3 = tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato)aluminum), emission intensities dramatically decrease and obvious red shifts are observed when the dopant concentration is above 4.2%, while for films of Alq3:2, a similar phenomenon occurs when the concentration is above 6.7%. EL devices with Alq3:1 as emitting layer only show high efficiencies (20.3-14.5 cd/A) within the narrow dopant concentration range of 0.5-1.0%. In contrast, high efficiencies (21.5-12.0 cd/A) are achieved for a wider dopant concentration range of 0.5-5.0% when Alq3:2 films are employed as emitting layer. The different PL and EL concentration-dependent properties of the solid thin films Alq3:1 and Alq3:2 are attributed to their different molecular packing characteristics in the solid state.

Structural variations and spectroscopic properties of luminescent mono- and multinuclear silver(I) and copper(I) complexes bearing phosphine and cyanide ligands     

Lin YY  Lai SW  Che CM  Fu WF  Zhou ZY  Zhu N 《Inorganic chemistry》2005,44(5):1511-1524

Reaction of equimolar amounts of AgCN and PCy3 gave the polymer [(Cy3P)Ag(NCAgCN)]infinity (1), whereas employment of excess PCy3 yielded the discrete compound [(Cy3P)2Ag(NCAgCN)] (2). Reacting bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)methane (dcpm) with AgCN in 1:1 and 1:2 molar ratios gave two crystalline forms, namely [Ag2(mu-dcpm)2][Ag(CN)2]2 x (CH3OH)2 (3a x (CH3OH)2) and [Ag2(mu-dcpm)2][Ag(CN)2]2 (3b), respectively. The similar reaction of CuCN with PCy3 afforded the polymeric compound [{(Cy3P)Cu(CN)}3]infinity (4), whereas treatment of CuCN with dcpm gave [Cu2(mu-dcpm)2(CN)2] (5). Employment of diphosphine ligands with longer -(CH2)n- spacers, such as 1,2-bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)ethane (dcpe, n = 2) and 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (dppp, n = 3), in reactions with [Cu(CH3CN)4]PF6 and KCN afforded the macrocylic compounds [{Cu(dcpe)}2(CN)(mu-dcpe)]PF6 (6(PF6)) and [{Cu(dppp)}3(CN)2(mu-dppp)]PF6 (7(PF6)), respectively. The hexanuclear complex [Cu(CN)(PCy3)]6 (8) was obtained by reacting CuCN with PCy3 in the presence of sodium pyridine-2-thiolate. The UV-vis absorption spectrum of 1 in acetonitrile displays a weak shoulder at 245 nm (epsilon = 350 dm3 mol(-1) cm(-1)). For 3a, 3b, and 5, the intense absorption bands at lambdamax = 257-276 nm with epsilon values of (1.73-1.80) x 10(4) dm3 mol(-1) cm(-1) are assigned to [ndsigma --> (n + 1)psigma] transitions. Complexes 3a and 3b emit at lambdamax = 365 nm in CH3CN (quantum yield approximately 6 x10(-3), lifetime approximately 0.2 micros). The solid-state emission of 5 (lambdamax = 470 and 488 nm at 298 and 77 K) is red-shifted in energy from that of 4 (lambdamax = 401 and 405 nm at 298 and 77 K, respectively). In 77 K MeOH/EtOH (1:4) glassy solution, complexes 4-8 display intense emission with lambdamax at 382-416 nm, which is assigned to the [3d --> (4s, 4p)] triplet excited state.

Chiral cis-iron(ii) complexes with metal- and ligand-centered chirality for highly regio- and enantioselective alkylation of N-heteroaromatics     

Jinhu Wei  Bei Cao  Chun-Wai Tse  Xiao-Yong Chang  Cong-Ying Zhou  Chi-Ming Che 《Chemical science》2020,11(3):684

Iron-catalyzed highly regio- and enantioselective organic transformations with generality and broad substrate scope have profound applications in modern synthetic chemistry; an example is herein described based on cis-Fe^II complexes having metal- and ligand-centered chirality. The cis-β Fe^II(N₄) complex [Fe^II(L)(OTf)₂] (L = N,N′-bis(2,3-dihydro-1H-cyclopenta-[b]quinoline-5-yl)-N,N′-dimethylcyclohexane-1,2-diamine) is an effective chiral catalyst for highly regio- and enantioselective alkylation of N-heteroaromatics with α,β-unsaturated 2-acyl imidazoles, including asymmetric N1, C2, C3 alkylations of a broad range of indoles (34 examples) and alkylation of pyrroles and anilines (14 examples), all with high product yields (up to 98%), high enantioselectivity (up to >99% ee) and high regioselectivity. DFT calculations revealed that the “chiral-at-metal” cis-β configuration of the iron complex and a secondary π–π interaction are responsible for the high enantioselectivity.

A cis-β Fe^II complex having metal- and ligand-centered chirality catalyzes highly regio- and enantioselective alkylation of indoles (at the N1, C2, or C3 position), pyrroles and anilines with α,β-unsaturated 2-acyl imidazoles (48 examples, up to 99% ee).

Electronic excited states of [Au(2)(dmpm)(3)](ClO(4))(2) (dmpm= bis(dimethylphosphine)methane)     

Leung KH  Phillips DL  Mao Z  Che CM  Miskowski VM  Chan CK 《Inorganic chemistry》2002,41(8):2054-2059

We present studies of the resonance Raman and electronic luminescence spectra of the [Au(2)(dmpm)(3)](ClO(4))(2) (dmpm = bis(dimethylphosphine)methane) complex, including excitation into an intense band at 256 nm and into a weaker absorption system centered about approximately 300 nm. The resonance Raman spectra confirm the assignment of the 256 nm absorption band to a (1)(dsigma --> psigma) transition, a metal-metal-localized transition, in that nu(Au-Au) and overtones of it are strongly enhanced. A resonance Raman intensity analysis of the spectra associated with the 256 nm absorption band gives the ground-state and excited-state nu(Au-Au) stretching frequencies to be 79 and 165 cm(-1), respectively, and the excited-state Au-Au distance is calculated to decrease by about 0.1 A from the ground-state value of 3.05 A. The approximately 300 nm absorption displays a different enhancement pattern, in that resonance-enhanced Raman bands are observed at 103 and 183 cm(-1) in addition to nu(Au-Au) at 79 cm(-1) The compound exhibits intense, long-lived luminescence (in room-temperature CH(3)CN, for example, tau = 0.70 micros, phi(emission) = 0.037) with a maximum at 550-600 nm that is not very medium-sensitive. We conclude, in agreement with an earlier proposal of Mason (Inorg. Chem. 1989, 28, 4366-4369), that the lowest-energy, luminescent excited state is not (3)(dsigma --> psigma) but instead derives from (3)(d(x2-y2,xy --> psigma) excitations. We compare the Au(I)-Au(I) interaction shown in the various transitions of the [Au(2)(dmpm)(3)](ClO(4))(2) tribridged compound with previous results for solvent or counterion exciplexes of [Au(2)(dcpm)(2)](2+) salts (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1999, 121, 4799-4803; Angew. Chem. 1999, 38, 2783-2785; Chem. Eur. J. 2001, 7, 4656-4664) and for planar, mononuclear Au(I) triphosphine complexes. It is proposed that the luminescent state in all of these cases is very similar in electronic nature.

A silica gel-supported ruthenium complex of 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane as recyclable catalyst for chemoselective oxidation of alcohols and alkenes by tert-butyl hydroperoxide

A silica gel-immobilized [(Me(3)tacn)Ru(III)(CF(3)COO)(2)(H(2)O)]CF(3)CO(2) complex (1-SiO(2), Me(3)tacn = 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane) was prepared by simple impregnation, and the catalyst was characterized by powdered X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption/desorption, Raman, and diffuse reflectance UV-vis spectroscopies. The supported Ru catalyst can effect facile oxidation of alcohols by tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP). Primary and secondary benzyl, allylic, and propargylic alcohols were transformed to their corresponding aldehydes and ketones in excellent yields; no oxidation of the C=C and Ctbd1;C bonds was observed for the allylic and propargylic alcohol oxidations. Likewise alkene epoxidation by TBHP can be achieved by 1-SiO(2); cycloalkenes such as norbornene and cyclooctene were oxidized to their exo-epoxides exclusively in excellent yields (>95%). The 1-SiO(2) catalyst can be recycled and reused for consecutive alcohol and alkene oxidations without significant loss of catalytic activity and selectivity; over 9000 turnovers have been attained for the oxidation of 1-phenyl-1-propanol to 1-phenyl-1-propanone. 4-Substituted phenols were oxidized by the "1 + TBHP" protocol to give exclusively ruthenium-catecholate complexes, which were characterized by UV-vis and ESI-MS spectroscopies. No (tert-butyldioxy)cyclohexadienone and other radical coupling/overoxidation products were produced using the "1 + TBHP" protocol. The formation of ruthenium-catecholate is proposed to proceed via ortho-hydroxylation of phenol.     

Supramolecular structures and assembly and luminescent properties of quinacridone derivatives

The synthesis and single-crystal X-ray structures of two quinacridone derivatives, N,N'-di(n-butyl)quinacridone (1) and N,N'-di(n-butyl)-1,3,8,10-tetramethylquinacridone (2), are reported, and the 1H NMR, absorption, photoluminescent (PL), and electroluminescent (EL) characteristics are presented. Both these crystal structures are characterized by intermolecular pi...pi and hydrogen bonding interactions. The intermolecular pi...pi interactions lead to the formation of molecular columns in the solids of 1 and 2, and the interplanar contact distances between two adjacent molecules are 3.48 and 3.55 angstroms, respectively. Crystals of 1 display shorter intermolecular pi...pi contacts and higher density than 2. These results suggest that tighter intermolecular interactions exist in 1. The 1H NMR, absorption, and PL spectra of 1 and 2 in solutions exhibit concentration-dependent properties. The PL quantum yields of 1 in solutions decrease more quickly with the increase of concentration compared to that of 2 in solutions. For solid thin films of Alq3:1 (Alq3 = tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato)aluminum), emission intensities dramatically decrease and obvious red shifts are observed when the dopant concentration is above 4.2%, while for films of Alq3:2, a similar phenomenon occurs when the concentration is above 6.7%. EL devices with Alq3:1 as emitting layer only show high efficiencies (20.3-14.5 cd/A) within the narrow dopant concentration range of 0.5-1.0%. In contrast, high efficiencies (21.5-12.0 cd/A) are achieved for a wider dopant concentration range of 0.5-5.0% when Alq3:2 films are employed as emitting layer. The different PL and EL concentration-dependent properties of the solid thin films Alq3:1 and Alq3:2 are attributed to their different molecular packing characteristics in the solid state.     

Structural variations and spectroscopic properties of luminescent mono- and multinuclear silver(I) and copper(I) complexes bearing phosphine and cyanide ligands

Reaction of equimolar amounts of AgCN and PCy3 gave the polymer [(Cy3P)Ag(NCAgCN)]infinity (1), whereas employment of excess PCy3 yielded the discrete compound [(Cy3P)2Ag(NCAgCN)] (2). Reacting bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)methane (dcpm) with AgCN in 1:1 and 1:2 molar ratios gave two crystalline forms, namely [Ag2(mu-dcpm)2][Ag(CN)2]2 x (CH3OH)2 (3a x (CH3OH)2) and [Ag2(mu-dcpm)2][Ag(CN)2]2 (3b), respectively. The similar reaction of CuCN with PCy3 afforded the polymeric compound [{(Cy3P)Cu(CN)}3]infinity (4), whereas treatment of CuCN with dcpm gave [Cu2(mu-dcpm)2(CN)2] (5). Employment of diphosphine ligands with longer -(CH2)n- spacers, such as 1,2-bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)ethane (dcpe, n = 2) and 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (dppp, n = 3), in reactions with [Cu(CH3CN)4]PF6 and KCN afforded the macrocylic compounds [{Cu(dcpe)}2(CN)(mu-dcpe)]PF6 (6(PF6)) and [{Cu(dppp)}3(CN)2(mu-dppp)]PF6 (7(PF6)), respectively. The hexanuclear complex [Cu(CN)(PCy3)]6 (8) was obtained by reacting CuCN with PCy3 in the presence of sodium pyridine-2-thiolate. The UV-vis absorption spectrum of 1 in acetonitrile displays a weak shoulder at 245 nm (epsilon = 350 dm3 mol(-1) cm(-1)). For 3a, 3b, and 5, the intense absorption bands at lambdamax = 257-276 nm with epsilon values of (1.73-1.80) x 10(4) dm3 mol(-1) cm(-1) are assigned to [ndsigma --> (n + 1)psigma] transitions. Complexes 3a and 3b emit at lambdamax = 365 nm in CH3CN (quantum yield approximately 6 x10(-3), lifetime approximately 0.2 micros). The solid-state emission of 5 (lambdamax = 470 and 488 nm at 298 and 77 K) is red-shifted in energy from that of 4 (lambdamax = 401 and 405 nm at 298 and 77 K, respectively). In 77 K MeOH/EtOH (1:4) glassy solution, complexes 4-8 display intense emission with lambdamax at 382-416 nm, which is assigned to the [3d --> (4s, 4p)] triplet excited state.     

Chiral cis-iron(ii) complexes with metal- and ligand-centered chirality for highly regio- and enantioselective alkylation of N-heteroaromatics

Iron-catalyzed highly regio- and enantioselective organic transformations with generality and broad substrate scope have profound applications in modern synthetic chemistry; an example is herein described based on cis-Fe^II complexes having metal- and ligand-centered chirality. The cis-β Fe^II(N₄) complex [Fe^II(L)(OTf)₂] (L = N,N′-bis(2,3-dihydro-1H-cyclopenta-[b]quinoline-5-yl)-N,N′-dimethylcyclohexane-1,2-diamine) is an effective chiral catalyst for highly regio- and enantioselective alkylation of N-heteroaromatics with α,β-unsaturated 2-acyl imidazoles, including asymmetric N1, C2, C3 alkylations of a broad range of indoles (34 examples) and alkylation of pyrroles and anilines (14 examples), all with high product yields (up to 98%), high enantioselectivity (up to >99% ee) and high regioselectivity. DFT calculations revealed that the “chiral-at-metal” cis-β configuration of the iron complex and a secondary π–π interaction are responsible for the high enantioselectivity.

Electronic excited states of [Au(2)(dmpm)(3)](ClO(4))(2) (dmpm= bis(dimethylphosphine)methane)

We present studies of the resonance Raman and electronic luminescence spectra of the [Au(2)(dmpm)(3)](ClO(4))(2) (dmpm = bis(dimethylphosphine)methane) complex, including excitation into an intense band at 256 nm and into a weaker absorption system centered about approximately 300 nm. The resonance Raman spectra confirm the assignment of the 256 nm absorption band to a (1)(dsigma --> psigma) transition, a metal-metal-localized transition, in that nu(Au-Au) and overtones of it are strongly enhanced. A resonance Raman intensity analysis of the spectra associated with the 256 nm absorption band gives the ground-state and excited-state nu(Au-Au) stretching frequencies to be 79 and 165 cm(-1), respectively, and the excited-state Au-Au distance is calculated to decrease by about 0.1 A from the ground-state value of 3.05 A. The approximately 300 nm absorption displays a different enhancement pattern, in that resonance-enhanced Raman bands are observed at 103 and 183 cm(-1) in addition to nu(Au-Au) at 79 cm(-1) The compound exhibits intense, long-lived luminescence (in room-temperature CH(3)CN, for example, tau = 0.70 micros, phi(emission) = 0.037) with a maximum at 550-600 nm that is not very medium-sensitive. We conclude, in agreement with an earlier proposal of Mason (Inorg. Chem. 1989, 28, 4366-4369), that the lowest-energy, luminescent excited state is not (3)(dsigma --> psigma) but instead derives from (3)(d(x2-y2,xy --> psigma) excitations. We compare the Au(I)-Au(I) interaction shown in the various transitions of the [Au(2)(dmpm)(3)](ClO(4))(2) tribridged compound with previous results for solvent or counterion exciplexes of [Au(2)(dcpm)(2)](2+) salts (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1999, 121, 4799-4803; Angew. Chem. 1999, 38, 2783-2785; Chem. Eur. J. 2001, 7, 4656-4664) and for planar, mononuclear Au(I) triphosphine complexes. It is proposed that the luminescent state in all of these cases is very similar in electronic nature.
