Orthogonal PbS nanowire arrays and networks and their Raman scattering behavior

Three-dimensional, orthogonal lead sulfide (PbS) nanowire arrays and networks have been prepared by using a simple, atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) method. These uniform nanowires (average diameter 30 nm) grow epitaxially from the surface of the initial PbS crystal seeds and form orthogonal arrays and networks in space. The growth mechanism has been explored, and the process was classified as homogeneous, epitaxial growth in the 200 directions. Furthermore, Raman spectra of PbS nanowires are reported here, and their characteristic Raman peak (190 cm(-1), no shoulder) could be used as a unique probe for the study of PbS nanomaterials.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">Ab initio</Emphasis> study of small coinage metal telluride clusters Au<Subscript>n</Subscript>Te<Subscript>m</Subscript> (<Emphasis Type="Italic">n,m</Emphasis> = 1, 2)

The geometries of the most stable isomers of gold telluride systems AuTe, Au₂Te, and AuTe₂ are determined using the MP2 method. The aspect of gold—telluride interaction, the electron correlation, and relativistic effects on geometry and stability are investigated at the MP2 and CCSD(T) theoretical levels. The results show that the electron correlation and relativistic effects are responsible not only for gold—gold attraction but also for additional gold—telluride interaction. The gold—telluride interaction is strong enough to modify the known pattern of bare gold clusters. Both effects are essential for determining the geometry and relative stability of this type of systems.

Synthesis and biological activity of novel 2-(3-trifluoromethylphenoxy)-4-trifluoromethylthiazole-5-carboxamide derivatives

Novel 2-(3-trifluoromethylphenoxy)-4-trifluoromethylthiazole-5-carboxamides were designed and synthesized utilizing ethyl 3-amino-4,4,4-trifluoro-2-butenoate as a starting material via six steps. Subsequently, their biological activities were evaluated in the greenhouse. Results indicated that several compounds have some insecticidal or fungicidal activity at 600 g ai/ha and 300 g ai/ha, respectively.     

Synthesis, spectroscopic studies and crystal structure of a polyoxoanion cluster incorporating para-bromophenylimido ligand, (Bu4N)2[Mo6O18(NC6H4Br-p)]

An organic-inorganic hybrid compound, (Bu₄N)₂[Mo₆O₁₈(NAr)] (Ar = p-BrC₆H₄) has been synthesized via the DCC dehydrating protocol of the reaction of [α-Mo₈O₂₆]⁴⁻ with 4-bromoaniline hydrochloride in anhydrous acetonitrile, which has been characterized by UV-Vis spectra, ¹H NMR and single crystal X-ray diffraction study. By comparing the UV-Vis spectra, which were used to monitor the reaction, the optimum preparative condition for this compound was also determined. This compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n, which is featured in a terminal para-bromophenylimido group linked to an Mo atom of a hexamolybdate cluster by a Mo-N triply bond. In addition, there are π-π dimerization of the neighboring cluster anions though the parallel aromatic rings in their crystals.

Coupling reactions of alpha-(N-carbamoyl)alkylcuprates with enol triflates derived from cyclic beta-keto esters: A facile approach to gamma-carbamoyl-alpha,beta-enoates

alpha-(N-Carbamoylalkyl)cuprates couple with enol triflates derived from carbocyclic and heterocyclic (i.e., piperidinones) beta-keto esters. Product yields are higher with the alkyl(cyano)cuprates [i.e., RCu(CN)Li, 56-93%] than with the dialkylcuprate reagents (i.e., R(2)CuLi.LiCN). An enol nonaflate works as well as the corresponding enol triflate. A facile synthetic route to gamma-amino alpha,beta-enoates not readily prepared from gamma-keto-alpha,beta-enoates is thus established. The gamma-amino-alpha,beta-enoates, available via N-Boc deprotection, can be cyclized to annulated pyrrolin-2-ones.     

Prenylated xanthones from Garcinia xanthochymus

A new prenylated xanthone, 1,3,5,6-tetrahydroxy-4,7,8-tri(3-methyl-2-butenyl)xanthone (1), was isolated from the wood of Garcinia xanthochymus together with a known xanthone, garciniaxanthone E (2). Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis. Compounds 1 (3 microM) and 2 (10 microM) elicited marked enhancement of nerve growth factor-mediated neurite outgrowth in PC12D cells.

A series of novel oligo(halobenzoquinoid) compounds have been obtained from the photoinduced self-substitution of 2,5-dibromo-1,4-benzoquinone (1a), 2,6-dibromo-1,4-benzoquinone (1b), 2-chloro-1,4-benzoquinone (1c), 2-bromo-5-chloro-1,4-benzoquinone (1d), 2,3,5,6-tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone (1e) and 1,4-benzoquinone (1f) in the presence of N,N-dimethyl-t-butylamine (2) in acetonitrile. Dimers, trimers and/or pentamers of these haloquinones were found to be the major products.
