A New Organo-templated Layered Zincophosphate Synthesized from a Solvothermal System Containing Racemic1,2-Diaminopropane

IntroductionSince Wilson and co- workers successfullysynthesized three- dimensional microporousaluminophosphates (Al PO4 - n ) [1] in the 1 980 s,much attention has been focused on the explorationof1 - D chain,2 - D layer and3 - D open- frameworkmetal phosphates from aqueous or non- aqueoussystems.The number of metals incorporated intothe frameworks of these materials is continuouslyincreasing and the metals include Be[2 ] ,Ga[3] ,In[4 ] ,Sn[5] ,Sb[6 ] ,and the transition metals Zn[7] ,Ni…     

Antioxidative Effect of Schiff Bases with o-Hydroxybenzylidene Groupon Free Radical Induced Hemolysis of Human Red Blood Cell

IntroductionThe recent development of free radical biologyand medicine has provided a great deal of clinicaland experimental evidence indicating that the freeradical induced peroxidation of membrane lipids isassociated with a variety of chronic healthproblems,such as cancer,atherosclerosis andageing[1,2 ] . Both natural and synthetic antioxidantshave been used to trap peroxyl radicals and/orinitiating radicals to protect the membrane lipidsagainst free radical chain reactions,and hence mayhave…     

Determination the Hydrogen Stored in Carbon Nanotubes by NO Titration Method

With the diminution of fossil fuel resources and the increase in pollution, energy and environment have become a public concern. Mankind is in need of a new but clean energy resource. The use of hydrogen appears to be the answer. One of the technical challenges in hydrogen utilization is H2-storage. At present, materials for storing hydrogen are alloys such as LaNi5 and FeTi; the storage capacity is around 1.4 wt%, too low for practical application. Another problem with these alloys is…     

Asymmetric Addition of Diethylzinc to Aldehydes Catalyzed by Chiral γ_Amino Alcohols

Although the asymmetric additions of diethylzinc to aldehydes have been extensively studied in the presence of chiral catalyst, most of the chiral ligands tested are b-amino alcohols1. In this report, the synthesis of chiral gamino alcohols 1-4 from the reaction of (+)-camphor and (-)-menthone with 2-lithiomethyl-6-methyl-pyridine or 2-picolly- lithium2, which give a single diasteromer as determined by 1H NMR with high yields (Scheme 1)3, and their application in the enantioselective additio…     

Synthesis and Properties of An Aminated hypocrellin B

Photodynamic therapy (PDT), using red light and photosensitizers (Sens ), is a promising new treatment for tumor. The naturally occurred hypocrellins,including hypocrellin A (HA) and hypocrellin B (HB,1), have been proposed as the potential photosensitizers for PDT. It has been the subject of many investigations to improve the red absorption and water-solubility of natural hypocrellins by the structural modifications1~3. In this paper, a new derivative 2 was synthesized from 1 and charact…     

Ethylene Oligomerization by (dppe)MCl_2 [M = Fe(II), Co(II),Ni(II)] Complexes/EAO

Transition-metal-catalyzed oligomerzation of ethylene is an important process to provide a-olefins in the C6~C20 range. In recent years, the catalytic behavior of late transition metal complexes containing bi- and tri-dentate ligands for oligomerization of ethylene to a-olefins has attracted much attention. When oligomerization of ethylene catalyzed by nickel diimine and Fe(II), Co(II) 2,6-bis(imino)pyridine catalysts, the oligomers with high average molecular weight were obtained1-5. Eth…     

Novel Silicon Nanotubes

The preparation of silicon nanotubes is a subject of great importance for both the theoretical and experimental work in the nanotube research field since it could lead to a wealth of new physics and chemistry because of the unique properties of silicon as compared with its carbon analogue. Some structures of nanoscale silicon and silicon composites, such as silicon nanowire1, silicon nano-clusters2 and SiC nanorods3 have been discovered and investigated. The silicon nanotubes, however, have …     

A Novel Hexanordammarane Glycoside from the Roots of Panax notoginseng

There are extensive chemical studies on the roots of Panax notoginseng (Burk.) F. H. Chen, a famous traditional Chinese medicine called San-Qi or Tian-Qi, thirty-three dammarane saponins were isolated and their structures were identified by our group and other scientists1-8. Further chemical investigation on this plant led to the isolation of a novel hexanordammarane glycoside, named notoginsenoside R10 (1).Notoginsenoside R10 (1), white powder, negative HRFAB-MS showed a quasimolecular…
