Highly Enantioselective Catalytic System for Asymmetric Copolymerization of Carbon Dioxide and Cyclohexene Oxide

A new ligand can be easily prepared, and its intramolecular dinuclear zinc complexes act as a high performance catalyst for the asymmetric alternating copolymerization of cyclohexene oxide and CO₂ under very mild conditions (1 atm CO₂, room temperature), affording completely alternating polycarbonates with up to 93.8 % enantiomeric excess (ee) and 98 % yield. A high M_n value of 28 600 and a relatively narrow polydispersity (M_w/M_n ratio) of 1.43 were also achieved.     

Gold‐Catalyzed Cycloisomerization of Yne‐Vinylidenecyclopropanes: A Three‐Carbon Synthon for [3+2] Cycloadditions

A novel type of yne‐vinylidenecyclopropanes (VDCPs) has been synthesized and applied in gold‐catalyzed cycloisomerization reactions. It was found that these compounds can undergo an intramolecular cycloisomerization and perform as a three‐carbon synthon for [3+2] cycloaddition under gold catalysis to give fused [4.3.0] and [5.3.0] bicyclic derivatives and VDCP rearranged products in moderated to good yields under mild conditions. The substrate scope of these novel transformations has been explored and plausible reaction mechanisms have been presented on the basis of deuterium labeling experiments and DFT calculations.     

Elements analysis of infant milk formula by ICP-OES: a comparison of pretreatment methods

Sample pretreatments are critical steps for achieving true and precise results in element analysis for infant milk formula. In this study, we made a comparative study of four pretreatment methods: dry ashing (DA), wet ashing (WA), microwave ashing (MA) and slurry dispersion analysis. Nine elements (Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, P and Zn) were determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. Infant formula (GBW08509) with certified values was used for assessment of trueness and precision. The data showed that all relative standard deviations (RSD) of the observed values were <15 %. In contrast to other pretreatment, results for MA had the lowest RSD (≤5 %) for all the elements. For Cu and Mn, there was no significant difference between measurement results and certified values in four pretreatments. But, after DA and WA the results for Ca, K, Na, P and Zn differed significantly from the certified values.     

Fenton氧化氧氟沙星过程中间产物的鉴定

建立了利用红外色谱辅助高效液相色谱串联质谱鉴定中间产物的方法。Fenton试剂(H2O2和Fe2+的混合溶液)降解氧氟沙星反应中得到的样品,经过高效液相色谱的梯度洗脱将中间产物分离,随后直接进入质谱检测,得到中间产物的分子式;同样经过冷冻干燥的样品,通过红外色谱的辅助确定降解中间产物缺失的官能团,从而得到中间产物的结构。方法适用于中间产物的鉴定,可以有效解决因中间降解产物浓度低,难以分离而无法确定其结构的弊端。     

丙烯聚合催化剂载体中碳对镁含量分析的影响

采用ICP-MS以无水氯化镁、碳镁摩尔为5~8:1的氯化镁醇合物丙烯聚合催化剂载体和碳镁摩尔比为12:1的六乙醇合氯化镁为对象,分别在普通模式、He模式下采用外标曲线加内标校正法和He模式下标准加入法测定其中的镁含量,并取几个典型样品采用ICP-OES进行镁含量测定。考察了采用ICP-MS测定丙烯聚合催化剂载体中镁含量时碳可能产生的影响。实验结果表明,对于碳镁摩尔比从5~8∶1到12∶1样品,碳对镁含量分析的影响均很小,其镁含量均可以在普通模式下采用外标曲线加内标校正法进行快速、简单、准确的测定。     

铱配合物为能量受体的阴离子型聚芴合成及其蛋白质多糖检测

用Suzuki偶合方法合成了一系列铱配合物为能量受体,侧链为羧酸基团的阴离子型水溶性聚芴.聚芴(P4,P5,P6)中铱配合物含量分别为0%,2%和5%,聚芴P6在水溶液中具有较好的荧光能量荧光转移(FRET)效率.还研究了p H变化对聚合物水溶液荧光光谱性能的影响,结果表明当p H>8时,所含羧基以钠盐形式存在使聚合物具有较好的溶解性和较强的荧光强度,p H<8时,羧基以COOH形式存在,使聚合物溶解度降低造成聚集,荧光发生淬灭.并且进一步研究了不同的蛋白质和多糖对铱配合物含量为5%的聚合物(P6)的荧光光谱变化,如加入带正电荷的溶菌酶后可以发生比较明显的FRET现象,加入中性的血红蛋白后荧光强度略有下降,而疏水作用较强的组蛋白和带负电荷肝素的加入可以增强P6的荧光强度减弱聚合物的FRET,因此聚合物P6可以作为蛋白质和多糖的光学检测器.     

不同防老剂对天然橡胶复合材料P-V-T关系的影响

采用PVT膨胀仪测试了添加不同防老剂的天然橡胶(NR)复合材料的压力-体积-温度(P-V-T)属性,通过最小二乘法拟合得到Tait方程参数,预测了体系的热膨胀系数(α)和等温压缩系数(β),结果表明,Tait状态方程可用来预测该复合材料体系的P-V-T行为,NR复合材料的α值随着压力的增大而减小,随温度变化不明显;β值随压力的增大而减小,且随着温度的升高而升高.分子模拟结果观察了体系凝聚态结构在不同温度下的变化,表明其变化原因是升温使体系自由体积增大,分子链的活动性增强,同时观察到单独加入防老剂4010NA或防老剂RD的体系α和β的值较大,说明其尺寸稳定性差,而当同时加入4010NA和RD进行防老剂并用时,体系的α和β值均较小,表明此复合材料体系不容易产生变形;通过分子动力学模拟手段计算了NR复合材料的内聚能密度(CED)随温度的变化规律,对于2种防老剂并用的体系,其CED比较大,说明分子间相互作用力较强,从而体系尺寸稳定性好,受温度和压力的影响小.

[B30]−: A Quasiplanar Chiral Boron Cluster

Chirality is vital in chemistry. Its importance in atomic clusters has been recognized since the discovery of the first chiral fullerene, the D₂ symmetric C₇₆. ¹ A number of gold clusters have been found to be chiral, ² raising the possibility to use them as asymmetric catalysts. The discovery of clusters with enantiomeric structures is essential to design new chiral materials with tailored chemical and physical properties. ³ Herein we report the first inherently chiral boron cluster of [B₃₀]^? in a joint photoelectron spectroscopy and theoretical study. The most stable structure of [B₃₀]^? is found to be quasiplanar with a hexagonal hole. Interestingly, a pair of enantiomers arising from different positions of the hexagonal hole are found to be degenerate in our global minimum searches and both should co‐exist experimentally because they have identical electronic structures and give rise to identical simulated photoelectron spectra.
