含嘧啶环的双冠醚(Ⅳ)

前文已报道由啶环桥联两个苯并冠醚的双冠醚的合成与性质。由于嘧啶环的刚性较大,能把两个冠醚单元固定在有效地协同作用位置,因此以它们作中性载体的离子选择性电极具有较好的选择性。为了进一步研究这类双冠醚的性质,我们合成了四种嘧啶环桥联两个脂肪族冠醚的双冠醚,并经元素分析、IR、′HNMR鉴定。     

Molar conductivity calculation of Li-ion battery electrolyte based on mode coupling theory

A method is proposed to calculate molar conductivity based on mode coupling theory in which the ion transference number is introduced into the theory. The molar conductivities of LiPF6, LiClO4, LiBF4, LiAsF6 in PC (propylene carbonate) are calculated based on this method. The results fit well to the literature data. This presents a potential way to calculate the conductivities of Li-ion battery electrolytes.     

Single Atom Alloy Preparation and Applications in Heterogeneous Catalysis

There have been remarkable progresses in manipulating heterogeneous catalysts' nanostructures in the past decade. The concept of single atom alloy (SAA) was firstly proposed in 2012 when researchers successfully stabilized single Pd atoms on the Cu(111) surface. However, earlier work in 2009, which focused on replacing one Au atom with a Pd atom in thiolate protected Au₂₅ nanoclusters, could also be considered as the pioneer work of single atom alloy. Both kinds of single atom alloys exhibited the potential of maximum utilization of scarce elements and attractive catalytic performances. The well‐defined structures of SAA catalysts make accurate modeling possible, which further realizes the rational design of single atom alloy catalysts. In this review, we summarize the research trajectory of single atom alloys as well as recent achievements in this field. We also introduce several commonly adopted characterization methods for SAA catalysts such as scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), temperature programmed reaction (TPR), extended X‐ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectra, matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrum (MALDI‐MS) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Through discussing recent progresses in SAA catalysts, we propose that future researches in this filed should be focused on exploring new kinds of metal nanocrystals and controlling the nanostructure of SAA even more precisely.     

Quantum-resolved fluorescence excitation spectra of SnO free radical

TheA ¹ –X ^{1 +} system of SnO is studied by laser- induced fluorescence excitation spectroscopy using isotopically enriched tin Sn¹¹⁶. The rotational structure analysis has been carried out for 6-0, 5-0, 2-0 bands. All these spectra were well resolved only with few perturbed lines in 2-0 band. Rotational constantsB ₂,B ₅,B ₆ and henceB _e , _{e e} have been obtained for the Sn¹¹⁶O molecule. An extension of perturbation study on 4-0 band has been made showing the maximum perturbation occurs at different J values for different isotopes.     

Determination of DNA structure in solution: enzymatic deuteration of the ribose 2' carbon

An enzymatic solution to the problem of obtaining 13C/15N-labeled nucleotides that are deuterated uniquely at the H2' ' position within the ribose ring is presented. Selective deuteration occurs with an overall yield of >80%. The deuteron at the H2' ' position allows measurement of the scalar and residual dipolar couplings for the bond vectors attached to the C2' carbon of each ribose sugar. These data allow the accurate determination of sugar conformation. Interesting DNA double helices of 2-3 turns are now within the reach of solution NMR spectroscopy. As an example, these labeled nucleotides are incorporated uniquely at positions 6-14 in a 20-bp DNA sequence containing the adenovirus major late promoter.     

Experimental and computational studies of intracomplex reactions in Mg+(primary, secondary alkylamine) complexes induced by photoexcitation of Mg+

We report herein a comprehensive study of photoinduced reactions in complexes of Mg+ with primary (n-propyl- and isopropylamine) and secondary amines (dipropyl- and diisopropylamine) in the spectral range of 230-440 nm. Similar to the methyl- and ethylamine complexes studied previously, N-H bond activation of these complexes is very unfavorable. Instead, the C(alpha)-C, C-N, and C(alpha)-H bond-cleavage photoproducts are observed after photoexcitation of the Mg+ complexes (3(2)P<--3(2)S). For Mg+(primary amine) complexes, for example, Mg+-NH2CH2CH2CH3, and Mg+-NH2CH(CH3)2, the photoproducts resulting from C(alpha)--C rupture prevail after P(z) and charge-transfer excitations, whereas the Mg+ photofragment is predominant upon P(x,y) excitation. However, with further N-alkyl substitution, as in Mg+(secondary amine) complexes, for example, Mg+-NH(CH2CH2CH3)2 and Mg+-NH[CH(CH3)2]2, a novel intracomplex C-C coupling photoreaction dominates on P(x,y) excitation of Mg+, which is believed to arise from Mg+* insertion into the C-N bond. With P(z) and charge-transfer excitation, the Mg-R elimination photoproducts, arising from C(alpha)-C bond cleavage, predominate. The energetics and possible mechanisms of the intracomplex photoreactions are analyzed in detail with the help of extensive quantum mechanics calculations.     

Coriatone and corianlactone, two novel sesquiterpenes from Coriaria nepalensis

Both coriatone (1). a novel highly oxygenated picrotoxane-type sesquiterpene, and corianlactone (2). with an unprecedented sesquiterpene basic skeleton, named coriane, were isolated from Coriaria nepalensis Wall. The structures of 1 and 2 were determined by analysis of their two-dimensional NMR data, and the structure of 2 was confirmed by X-ray analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 showed no remarkable inhibitory activity toward K(562) cells. They are cytotoxic with IC(50) > 50 microg/mL (cis-platinim: IC(50) = 0.49 microg/mL).     

Reconocimiento de nicotina en una hebrita de tabaco

Summary Adaption of theLuís method for the detection of nicotine to microscale, usingEmich's capillary technic proved successful, attaining identification limit of 0,03g.Applying a sub-micro steam distillation effect, the nicotine in a speck of tobacco (1 mm² and less) could still be detected by using the above reaction.Extension of the above procedure to mixtures of nicotine with substances not volatile with steam, inorganic (halides) as well as organic compounds (other alkaloids, acids, etc.) proved to be successful, even when the nicotine is present in proportions of only 1 part in 1000.

Zusammenfassung Die Anwendung der Kapillartechnik vonEmich zum Nachweis von Nikotin nachLuís war erfolgreich und zeigte eine Erfassungsgrenze von 0,03g.Bei Anwendung einer Ultramikrodampfdestillation kann das Nikotin nach obiger Methode noch in Spuren von Tabak (1 mm² und weniger) nachgewiesen werden.Die Reaktion ist auch positiv bei Gemischen von Nikotin mit anderen, mit Wasserdampf nicht flüchtigen sowohl anorganischen (Halogenide) als auch organischen Substanzen (andere Alkaloide, Säuren etc.), selbst dann noch, wenn das Nikotin bloß im Verhältnis von 11000 vorhanden ist.

Résumé La technique capillaire d'Emich a été utilisée avec succès pour identifier la nicotine suivant le procédé deLuís; la limite de sensibilité est alors de 0,03g. La mise en oeuvre d'un ultramicroentraînement à la vapeur permet en outre, par application de la précédente méthode, d'identifier la nicotine dans des traces de tabac (moins de 1 mm²). La réaction est également positive en présence d'autres substances non entraînables par la vapeur d'eau, qu'elles soient minérales (halogénures) ou organiques (autres alcaloïdes, acides, etc. ...) même si la proportion de nicotine n'est que de l'ordre de grandeur de 1/1000.
