The first MCM-41-supported bidentate phosphine palladium(0) complex has been prepared. This complex is a highly efficient catalyst for Sonogashira reaction and can be reused at least 10 times without any decrease in activity.     

Study on oxidation of polymers treated by high LET radiation

The oxidation of medical silicone rubber and segmented polyether urethane which were bombarded with 11.2 MeV Si⁺ or F⁺ at the dose of 5 × 10¹⁴ ions/cm² was studied. In XPS measurements, it was found that the oxygen concentration on the surface of the implanted polymeric membranes had been increasing in three months at least. ESR measurement showed that some free radicals existed in these membranes and their quantities decreased with time. Chemical analysis proved that peroxides were generated in the γ irradiated membranes. The reason for the increasing of oxygen concentration was that free radicals combined with oxygen in the air and produced peroxides on the membrane surface. Moreover, in order to demonstrate the radiation mechanism, low LET (γ rays) radiation of such polymeric membranes was carried out for comparison     

Synthesis of a highly hindered hydrindanone via alpha-carbonyl radical cyclization: enantiospecific formal syntheses of (-)-pinguisenol and (-)-alpha-pinguisene

An enantiospecific synthesis of Schinzer's ketone 3 from (R)-(+)-pulegone via alpha-carbonyl radical cyclization was accomplished. This work also constitutes an enantiospecific formal syntheses of (-)-pinguisenol and (-)-alpha-pinguisene. The intermediate ketone 4 would be useful for the synthesis of other pinguisane-type sesquiterpenes.     

Overview: recent progress in three-dimensional atom probe instruments and applications.

Over the last few years there have been significant developments in the field of three-dimensional atom probe (3DAP) analysis. This article reviews some of the technical compromises that have led to different instrument designs and the recent improvements in performance. An instrument has now been developed, based around a novel reflectron configuration combining both energy compensation and focusing elements, that yields a large field of view and very high mass resolution. The use of laser pulsing in the 3DAP, together with developments in specimen preparation methods using a focused ion-beam instrument, have led to a significant widening in the range of materials science problems that can be addressed with the 3DAP. Recent studies of semiconductor materials and devices are described.     

纳米晶掺钇硬质合金粉末的制备

采用高能球磨法制备了纳米晶掺Y硬质合金粉末。用XRD，SEM和DTA等分析检测手段，研究了纳米晶掺Y硬质合金粉末的结构、形貌和相的变化。结果表明：高能球磨45h，可获得晶粒尺寸约为8nm的掺Y硬质合金粉末；微量Y的加入，有利于硬质合金粉末晶粒的细化；在25～45h范围内，随着高能球磨时间的延长，粉末晶粒尺寸减小，且掺Y硬质合金粉末的晶粒尺寸比未掺Y的硬质合金粉末晶粒尺寸要细一倍；高能球磨25h，粉末中Co的X射线衍射峰消失。高能球磨掺Y硬质合金粉末的DTA曲线在626℃出现了1个尖锐的放热峰。高能球磨掺Y硬质合金粉末固结之后，其合金晶粒细小，机械性能较好。     

Synthesis of fluorescent dendritic 8-hydroxyquinoline ligands and investigation on their coordinated Zn(II) complexes

A series of luminescent PAMAM dendrons emanating from 8-hydroxyquinoline have been synthesized and their coordination with Zn(II) was investigated for the first time. The obtained dendritic Zn(II) complexes were soluble in common organic solvents. It was found that the luminescence intensity of G2 dendron 6 was higher than that of G1 dendron 4. Furthermore, when they were coordinated with Zn(II), red-shift was observed and the intensities of the coordinated Zn(II) complexes were higher than that of the corresponding ligands.     

Reactions of Diethyl [(3-Bromomethyl-2-Thienyl)-Methylene]Propanedioate with Hydrazines: Syntheses of Dihydropyridazines,Pyridazines and O-Dimethylaminomethylarenecarbonitriles

Facile syntheses of dihydropyridazines, pyridazines, and o-dimethylaminomethylarenecarbonitriles have been achieved by the retro-malonate addition reaction. Bromoalkylidenemalonates 1,7, and 10 were treated with hydrazine to give dihydropyridazines 4, 8, and 11 in quantitative yields. DDQ or air oxidation of 4, 8, and 11 gave pyridazines 5, 9, and 12, Alternatively, treatment of 1, 7, and 10 with 1,1-dimethylhydrazine afforded o-dimethylaminomethylarenecarbonitriles 6,13, and 14 in good yields.     

钇对2618合金组织及性能的影响

采用X射线，光学显微镜及扫描电镜等手段研究了2618合金中的组织与相结构，并研究了元素钆在2618合金中的存在形式及其对合金力学性能的影响。结果表明，微量钆元素在铝合金中是以化合物形式存在的；钆对合金中的铸态组织及Al9FeNi仃形态没有影响。由于微量钆的加入，降低了铜与镁在2618合金中的固溶量，减少了时效析出相A2CuMg数量，从而降低2618合金的室温强度帮在250℃的高温瞬时强度；但由于微量钆减少了铜与镁在2618合金中的扩散速度，延缓了时效机的粗化，并由于第二相数量的增多，因此提高了2618合金在250℃经100h高温热暴露后的高温瞬时强度。     

Two new sesquiterpene lactones with the sulfonic acid group from Saussurea lappa

Two new sesquiterpene lactones with the unusual sulfonic acid group, 13-sulfo-dihydrosantamarine (1) and 13-sulfo-dihydroreynosin (2), have been isolated from the roots of Saussurea lappa C. Their structures, including the absolute configurations, were elucidated by spectroscopic methods.     

Decarboxylative aldol reactions of allyl beta-keto esters via heterobimetallic catalysis

Mild and selective heterobimetallic-catalyzed decarboxylative aldol reactions involving allyl beta-keto esters have been developed. The reaction is promoted by Pd(0)- and Yb(III)-DIOP complexes at room temperature and involves the in situ formation of a ketone enolate from allyl beta-keto esters followed by addition of the enolate to aldehydes. The reaction is a new example of heterobimetallic catalysis in which the optimized reaction conditions require the addition of both metals.
