A Highly anti‐Selective Asymmetric Henry Reaction Catalyzed by a Chiral Copper Complex: Applications to the Syntheses of (+)‐Spisulosine and a Pyrroloisoquinoline Derivative

A highly anti‐selective asymmetric Henry reaction has been developed, affording synthetically versatile β‐nitroalcohols in a predominately anti‐selective manner (mostly above 15:1) and excellent ee values (mostly above 95 %). Moreover, the anti‐selective Henry reaction was carried out in the presence of water for the first time with up to 99 % ee. The catalytic mechanism was proposed based on the detection of the intermediates by extractive electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (EESI‐MS). Furthermore, the anti adducts have been successfully transformed into the biochemically important (+)‐spisulosine and a pyrroloisoquinoline derivative.     

Micro-fabrication and properties of the meta materials for the terahertz regime

Utilizing a series of micro-fabrication processes for terahertz meta materials, we fabricated three geometries of split-ring resonators: a circular geometry and two elliptical geometries. The samples were measured by the transmission spectroscopy in the terahertz time domain. Comparing these spectra, we found that these plots clearly reveal the lower frequency LC resonances and the higher frequency dipole resonances, meanwhile, the coupling of the LC and dipole resonance has an important influence on the overall response. It is shown that we can design the LC and dipole resonance frequency, and regulate the coupling of the LC and dipole resonance to adjust the overall response. A simple transmission-line RLC circuit model is used to help us understand this coupling behavior and the extent of its effects.     

Theoretical exploration on the vibrational and mechanical properties of M3C2/M3C2T2 MXenes

MXenes have attracted intensive attention in chemistry and material science for their special structures and properties. In order to understand the basic physical properties of the M₃C₂/M₃C₂T₂ (MSc, Ti, V, Cr, Zr, Nb, Mo, Hf, Ta, W; TF, O, OH) MXenes, first-principles calculations are carried out to investigate the structural, vibrational, and mechanical properties in this work. Both the metal atoms and surface groups can significantly influence the configurations or mechanical behaviors of the MXenes. The dehydrogenation tendency is calculated to evaluate the possible forms of the M₃C₂(OH)₂ toward M₃C₂O₂. The work functions of MXenes functionalized by different groups are compared, and the lower work functions for the  OH functionalized ones, which can be as low as 1.358 eV for the Sc₃C₂(OH)₂, suggest potential good performance in electron emission. In addition, the stability, mechanical properties, and the Raman and infrared (IR) activity modes of the MXenes are reported. Generally, functionalized MXenes would present smaller lattice parameters, lower free energies, and stronger mechanical strength compared to their counterparts. The data obtained may provide important theoretical ground for the investigations of the applications of MXenes.     

Considering the flanking region variants of nonbinary SNP and phenotype-informative SNP to constitute 30 microhaplotype loci for increasing the discriminative ability of forensic applications

The flanking region variants of nonbinary SNPs and phenotype-informative SNPs (piSNPs) have been observed, which may greatly improve the discriminative ability after constituting microhaplotype. In this study, 30 microhaplotype loci based on the nonbinary SNPs and piSNPs (shown to be related to phenotypes such as hair and eye color) were selected. Genotyping were conducted on 100 unrelated northern Han Chinese, and the 26 populations from the 1000 Genome Project were also included for comparison of populations differentiation. The simulated study was conducted for evaluating the efficiency of kinship testing. These 30 microhaplotype loci we selected had good polymorphism, with a mean effective number of alleles (Ae) of 3.46. The average Ae increase was 1.27 compared with the target SNPs. The populations from the five regions worldwide could also be distinguished using these loci. The results of kinship testing showed that these microhaplotype loci had the similar ability as 15 STR loci of AmpFlSTR^R Identifiler^R PCR Amplification Kit to identify the biological parent and a stronger ability to exclude the nonbiological parents. So, these 30 microhaplotype loci may be multifunctional for forensic application, including the ability of personal identification and kinship testing equivalent to 15 STR loci, and the power of ancestry inference for distinguishing the main intercontinental population. Moreover, our selected phenotypic microhaplotype loci may theoretically have phenotype prediction capabilities. But the phenotype prediction efficiency of these phenotypic microhaplotype loci may be worse than that of piSNPs and the detailed prediction accuracy of different populations needs to be further studied.     

Crystal Structure and Photoluminescent Properties of Two Cadmium(II) Complexes with Orotic Acid

Abstract  

Assembly of orotic acid (2,6-dioxo-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid, H₃dtpc) and Cd(OAc)₂·2H₂O gave rise to two complexes [Cd₂(H₂dtpc)₂(H₂O)₆] (I) and [Cd(H₂dtpc)(bpy)(H₂O)]_n (II) (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine). Complex (I) and (II) have been characterized by X-ray single crystal diffraction, IR, PXRD, TGA and fluorescence spectra. Structural analyses reveal that (I) is a binuclear structure, and complex (II) possesses a one-dimensional infinite zig-zag chain architecture and the chains are further assembled into 2D supramolecular network by strong hydrogen bonding interactions. Crystal data for (I): Monoclinic, space group P2(1)/n, a = 9.3221(19) ?, b = 6.6315(13) ?, c = 15.322(3) ?, β = 102.31(3)°, V = 925.4(3) ?³, Z = 4, R1 = 0.0269, and wR2 = 0.0604; for (II): Monoclinic, space group P2(1)/c, a = 9.9880(2) ?, b = 14.5085(2) ?, c = 11.6957(2) ?, β = 107.976(2)°, V = 1612.10(5) ?³, Z = 4, R1 = 0.0234 and wR2 = 0.0554.     

Nanostructured block-random copolymers with tunable magnetic properties

It was recently shown that block copolymers (BCPs) produced room-temperature ferromagnetic materials (RTFMs) due to their nanoscopic ordering and the cylindrical phase yielded the highest coercivity. Here, a series of metal-containing block-random copolymers composed of an alkyl-functionalized homo block (C(16)) and a random block of cobalt complex- (Co) and ferrocene-functionalized (Fe) units was synthesized via ring-opening metathesis polymerization. Taking advantage of the block-random architecture, the influence of dipolar interactions on the magnetic properties of these nanostructured BCP materials was studied by varying the molar ratio of the Co units to the Fe units, while maintaining the cylindrical phase-separated morphology. DC magnetic measurements, including magnetization versus field, zero-field-cooled, and field-cooled, as well as AC susceptibility measurements showed that the magnetic properties of the nanostructured BCP materials could be easily tuned by diluting the cobalt density with Fe units in the cylindrical domains. Decreasing the cobalt density weakened the dipolar interactions of the cobalt nanoparticles, leading to the transition from a room temperature ferromagnetic (RTF) to a superparamagnetic material. These results confirmed that dipolar interactions of the cobalt nanoparticles within the phase-separated domains were responsible for the RTF properties of the nanostructured BCP materials.
