In a comparative study of the electrocatalytic CO2 reduction, cobalt meso-tetraphenylporphyrin (CoTPP) is used as a model molecular catalyst under both homogeneous and heterogeneous conditions. In the former case, employing N,N-dimethylformamide as solvent, CoTPP performs poorly as an electrocatalyst giving low product selectivity in a slow reaction at a high overpotential. However, upon straightforward immobilization of CoTPP onto carbon nanotubes, a remarkable enhancement of the electrocatalytic abilities is seen with CO2 becoming selectively reduced to CO (>90 %) at a low overpotential in aqueous medium. This effect is ascribed to the particular environment created by the aqueous medium at the catalytic site of the immobilized catalyst that facilitates the adsorption and further reaction of CO2. This work highlights the significance of assessing an immobilized molecular catalyst from more than homogeneous measurements alone. 相似文献
Chemical investigation of the aerial parts of Iris lactea afforded three new flavone C-glycosides including 4?-O-acetyl-embinin (1), 2?,4?-O-diacetyl-embinin (2) and 6″,4?-O-diacetyl-embinin (3) along with the known analogue embinin (4). Their structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic analysis as well as by HRESIMS data. The sugars were characterized following acid hydrolysis of the respective glycosides and TLC analysis compared to known standards. Duplicated signals can be observed in the NMR spectra, indicating the presence of rotamers caused by rotational hindrance around the glycosyl-flavone CC linkage. All isolated compounds were tested for their antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities but found to be inactive. 相似文献
The experimental optical rotation (OR), electronic circular dichroism (ECD) and vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra of (R)-3-hydroxy-4,5-dimethylfuran-2(5H)-one (sotolon, 1) and (R)-5-ethyl-3-hydroxy-4-methylfuran-2(5H)-one (maple furanone, 2) taken in chloroform were compared to their spectra calculated with time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). Sotolon was shown to exist as a dimer in chloroform while maple furanone remains a monomer. Transition state barriers for the enol/keto tautomerization of sotolon were calculated and found to be high. The VCD method offers promise to ultimately distinguish between the presence of monomers or dimers. 相似文献
The present study describes a rapid, simple and straightforward approach to the synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthenes, 14-phenyl-14H-dibenzo[a,j]xanthene and tetrahydrobenzoxanthene-11-ones under solvent-free conditions using sulfated polyborate as a highly efficient catalyst. The procedure offers several advantages including cleaner reaction profile, mild reaction condition, economic, recyclable and environmentally benign catalyst, high yields, simple experimental and workup procedures. While non-extractive work up/purification, along with reusability of catalyst make this method economically affordable for large scale. 相似文献
The synthesis of triarylpyridine derivatives containing a buta-1,3-diene-1,1,3-tricarbonitrile fragment via the base-promoted reactions of aromatic aldehydes, 2-phenylacetophenone and a malononitrile dimer in the presence of an oxidant is described. The influence of aryl substituents in the 4-position on the optical properties is also reported. 相似文献
Synchrotron radiation techniques (μ-XRF and μ-XANES) were applied to the study of organic-rich phosphatized limestones of NW Greece (Epirus). The results revealed uranium accumulation in areas of the material containing, among others, carbonate apatite (francolite) and organic matter. The UL3-edge of μ-XANES spectra showed that uranium was present in tetravalent form. U-bearing francolite crystals were separated from the rock and characterized by Raman spectroscopy and microprobe. The analysis of the crystals also indicated the presence of sodium and sulfur. The uranium presence in the crystals was also visualized, after neutron irradiation and etching, by the observation of the fission tracks.
The amounts and compositions of the essential oils in the leaves and fruit of Meyer's lemon in the various vegetation periods have been studied. It has been established that as the fruit ripens the amount of essential oils and of monoterpene hydrocarbons in its peel and in the leaves increases.Institute of Plant Biochemistry, Academy of Sciences of the Georgian SSR.

, is reduced by thionyl chloride and phosphoryl chloride, respectively, to yield semistable Tc(VI) intermediates which can easily be detected by EPR spectroscopy. Spectra are recorded in liquid and frozen solutions. EPR data as well as chemical behaviour suggest the compounds obtained to be oxochloro complexes of technetium(VI). 相似文献
