基于氟代异靛蓝并[7,6-g]异靛蓝的共轭聚合物的合成及其半导体性质

采用Stille缩聚,合成了3个异靛蓝并[7,6-g]异靛蓝(DIID)和乙烯单元交替排列的共轭聚合物P0F、P2F和P4F,三者在DIID单元中分别含0、2和4个氟原子(F).3个聚合物均具有良好的平面性,前线分子轨道几乎在整个共轭骨架上离域.它们均具有宽的吸收光谱,吸收范围在400~1000 nm,光学带隙约为1.25 eV;随着氟原子数目的增加,聚合物的最高占有分子轨道(HOMO)和最低空分子轨道(LUMO)能级依次下降0.1~0.2 eV.以这3个聚合物作为活性层,制备了顶栅-底接触型有机场效应晶体管器件,随着氟原子数目的增加,聚合物的传输性质由双极传输变为n型传输.P0F和P2F是双极传输型聚合物,空穴迁移率(μ_h)分别达到0.11和0.30 cm~2 V~(-1) s~(-1),电子迁移率(me)分别达到0.22和1.19 cm~2 V~(-1) s~(-1).P4F是n型聚合物,me达到0.18 cm~2 V~(-1) s~(-1).     

Synthesis of Au nanoparticles with Bi adlayers using glucose as dispersant

Well-dispersed Au/Bi nanoparticles with average size below 10 nm were prepared by using NaBH₄ to reduce HAuCl₄ with glucose as dispersant. The obtained Au/Bi NPs were well characterized by UV-Vis spectra, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electrochemical measurements. The electrochemical study found that Bi adlayers on the surface of Au nanoparticles owns two kinds of surface structures, including a low coverage (2 × 2)-Bi adlayer and a close-packed (p × √3)-2 Bi adlayer due to the strong interaction between the two Bi layers and the below Au atoms, which is same with that bulk on Au surface.     

Crown ether complexes of sodium and potassium 2-(benzotriazol-2-yl)phenolates: Synthesis and catalysis towards the ring-opening polymerization of rac-lactide

Crown ether complexes of sodium and potassium 2-(benzotriazol-2-yl)phenolates were synthesized and characterized. In the presence of BnOH these complexes are highly active catalysts for the controlled ring-opening polymerization of rac-lactide. The polymerizations are iso-selective and the P_m of polylactide reached 0.77 when the polymerization was performed in toluene at ?60°C; whereas heterorich-polylactide was obtained when the polymerization was carried out in CH₂Cl₂ or THF.     

Precise large deviations for sums of random vectors with dependent components of consistently varying tails

Let {X _i = (X _1,i ,...,X _m,i )^?, i ≥ 1} be a sequence of independent and identically distributed nonnegative m-dimensional random vectors. The univariate marginal distributions of these vectors have consistently varying tails and finite means. Here, the components of X ₁ are allowed to be generally dependent. Moreover, let N(·) be a nonnegative integer-valued process, independent of the sequence {X _i , i ≥ 1}. Under several mild assumptions, precise large deviations for S _n = Σ _i=1 ⁿ X _i and S _N(t) = Σ _i=1 ^N(t) X _i are investigated. Meanwhile, some simulation examples are also given to illustrate the results.     

Standard molar enthalpy of formation of [(C12H8N2)2Bi(O2NO)3] and its biological activity on Schizosaccharomyces pombe

The title complex [(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂Bi(O₂NO)₃] was synthesized by reaction of 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and Bi(NO₃)₃·5H₂O. The structure of the complex was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. An advanced solution-reaction isoperibol microcalorimeter was applied to determine the standard molar enthalpies of formation at 298.15 K of the complex and Bi(NO₃)₃·5H₂O, giving –(798.92 ± 5.99) and –(1986.87 ± 0.20) kJ mol⁻¹, respectively. The biological effect of the complex was evaluated by microcalorimetry on the growth of Schizosaccharomyces pombe (S. pombe). According to thermogenic curves, the corresponding thermokinetics and thermodynamic parameters were derived. The complex had good bioactivity on the growth metabolism of S. pombe, with the value of IC₅₀ being 2.8 × 10⁻⁵ mol L⁻¹.

Nickel‐Catalyzed Barton Decarboxylation and Giese Reactions: A Practical Take on Classic Transforms

Two named reactions of fundamental importance and paramount utility in organic synthesis have been reinvestigated, the Barton decarboxylation and Giese radical conjugate addition. N ‐hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) based redox‐active esters were found to be convenient starting materials for simple, thermal, Ni‐catalyzed radical formation and subsequent trapping with either a hydrogen atom source (PhSiH₃) or an electron‐deficient olefin. These reactions feature operational simplicity, inexpensive reagents, and enhanced scope as evidenced by examples in the realm of peptide chemistry.     

Thioether‐derived Macrocycle for Peptide Secondary Structure Fixation

Recently, we developed methods to stabilize peptides into various secondary structures, including α‐helix, type III turn and β‐hairpin via proper thioether based macrocyclization. These conformationally constrained peptidomimetics confer enhanced biophysical properties and provide a valuable avenue towards clinically‐relevant therapeutic molecules. In this personal account, thioether‐derived macrocyclization methods developed by our group for stabilization of α‐helix, type‐III β turn and β‐hairpin conformations are discussed.     

Global dynamics of a Vector‐Borne disease model with two delays and nonlinear transmission rate

In this paper, we investigate a Vector‐Borne disease model with nonlinear incidence rate and 2 delays: One is the incubation period in the vectors and the other is the incubation period in the host. Under the biologically motivated assumptions, we show that the global dynamics are completely determined by the basic reproduction number R₀. The disease‐free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if R₀≤1; when R₀>1, the system is uniformly persistent, and there exists a unique endemic equilibrium that is globally asymptotically. Numerical simulations are conducted to illustrate the theoretical results.
