Nanjiols D and E, Two New Uncommon Steroids from the Chinese Soft Coral Nephthea bayeri

Marine organisms have been found to be a storehouse of steroids, particularly in term ofunique side-chain structures and unusual functionalization. Marine steroids are oftenfound in highly oxygenated forms and possessing various biological activities1.Previously, we reported the isolation and structural elucidation of three new marinesteroids, nanjiols A-C, which showed cytotoxicity against HL-60 and BEL 7402 celllines, from a soft coral Nephthea bayeri in East China Sea2.

嵌段质量分数对手性超分子螺旋结构自组装的影响

首先,以溴代聚乙二醇单甲醚(PEO-Br)为引发剂、甲基丙烯酸丁酯(BMA)为单体,通过原子转移自由基聚合(ATRP)制备了一系列具有不同聚乙二醇(PEO)质量分数的聚甲基丙烯酸丁酯-b-聚乙二醇嵌段共聚物(PBMA-b-PEO)。在此基础上,将手性酒石酸(TA)以氢键的方式选择性掺入到嵌段共聚物的PEO相中,诱导嵌段共聚物自组装制备具有手性螺旋结构的复合薄膜PBMA-b-PEO/TA。利用小角X射线散射(SAXS)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)和圆二色光谱(CD)对嵌段共聚物复合薄膜进行表征,研究了嵌段质量分数对手性诱导嵌段共聚物螺旋结构自组装的影响。结果表明:掺入TA与嵌段共聚物质量比为0.12、0.15的TA,当PEO质量分数为0.17～0.24时,有利于嵌段共聚物相分离形成柱状螺旋结构;当PEO质量分数增加至0.26时,嵌段共聚物自组装则形成层状结构,在分子间氢键作用下虽然发生手性转移,但无法得到螺旋结构。

Synthesis of alpha-MoTe2 nanorods via annealing Te-seeded amorphous MoTe2 particles

Semiconductor alpha-MoTe2 nanorods have been synthesized by annealing Te-seeded particles of an amorphous MoTe2 intermediate. This intermediate is prepared by a solution reaction between Mo(CO)6 and elemental Te in diphenylmethane. The as-synthesized products were characterized by structural, compositional, and morphological techniques of X-ray diffraction, selected area electron diffraction, selected area energy dispersive spectroscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The results of the annealing process are MoTe2 nanorods with diameters of 50-200 nm and lengths ranging from 0.1 to 3.0 microm. Here, the rodlike structure of MoTe2 is reported for the first time, and added to the list as one kind of new morphology of MoTe2 nanomaterials. A mechanism for the formation of the nanorods is proposed. The sandwich-layered structure of Te-Mo-Te and the similarity in the structure between hexagonal alpha-MoTe2 and hexagonal Te are responsible for the formation of nanorods of MoTe2.     

Polystyrene-supported Benzyl Selenide: An Efficient Reagent for Highly Stereocontrolled Synthesis of Substituted Olefins

Solid-phase methodology has been rapidly and extensively applied to the preparation of small organic molecules recently1. It might be argued that selenoxide syn-elimination provided the principal impetus for the development of organoselenium chemistry. In addition, the required selenoxides are readily available from the oxidation of the corresponding selenides, which in turn can be prepared by the reaction of selenium-stabilized carbanions with various electrophilic substrates2. However, or…     

Reaction of porous silicon with both end-functionalized organic compounds bearing alpha-bromo and omega-carboxy groups for immobilization of biomolecules

Both end-functionalized (alpha-bromo and omega-carboxy) compounds were first tested for the radical reaction on the silicon-hydride (Si-H) terminated porous silicon (PSi) with/without the presence of diacyl peroxide initiator under microwave irradiation. Then the carboxylic acid monolayers (CAMs) assembled on PSi through the robust Si-C bonds were converted to amino-reactive linker, N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS)-ester, terminated monolayers. And finally two proteins of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and lysozyme (Lys) were immobilized through amide bonds. The optimum PSi membrane for protein immobilization without collapse, with parameters of porous radii 4-10 nm and depth 0.2-4.6 mum, was prepared from the (100)-oriented p-type silicon wafer. The chemically converted surface products were monitored with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM).

Kinetic spectrophotometric determination of trace manganese (II) with dahlia violet in nonionic microemulsion medium

A new catalytic kinetic spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of trace amount of manganese (II) in nonionic microemulsion medium. The method is based on the catalytic effect of manganese (II) on the oxidation of dahlia violet by potassium periodate with nitrilotriacetic acid as an activitor in the presence of nonionic microemulsion. Under the optimum conditions, the calibration graph is linear in the range of 0.0004-0.0056 μg ml⁻¹ of manganese (II) at 580 nm. The detection limit achieved is 3.75×10⁻⁵ μg ml⁻¹. Manganese (II) in foodstuff samples was determined with satisfactory results.     

Synthesis of triphenylamine-cored dendritic two-photon absorbing chromophores

[structure: see text]. A new series of dendritic two-photon absorbing chromophores containing triphenylamine moiety as a core or branching points have been synthesized through a convergent synthetic strategy. One-photon and two-photon optical properties of these molecules were characterized. In the nanosecond time domain, these molecules exhibited large two-photon absorption (TPA) cross sections up to 7.56-12.2 x 10(-44) s cm(4) at 800 nm, indicating that these molecular structures were viable candidates for various two-photon related applications.
