Bis(imino)pyridine palladium(II) complexes as efficient catalysts for the Suzuki–Miyaura reaction in water

Bis(imino)pyridine palladium(II) complexes 3 and 4 of type [PdCl(L)PF₆] are found to be efficient catalysts for Suzuki–Miyaura reactions of aryl halides and arylboronic acids. The reactions proceed smoothly to generate the corresponding biaryl compounds in moderate to excellent yields. The synthesis of various fluorinated biphenyl derivatives was successfully achieved by the complex 4 catalyzed the Suzuki–Miyaura reaction in the presence of surfactants bearing a long alkyl chain.

Thermal and pH‐sensitive gold nanoparticles from H‐shaped block copolymers of (PNIPAM/PDMAEMA)‐b‐PEG‐b‐(PNIPAM/PDMAEMA)

Well‐defined H‐shaped pentablock copolymers composed of poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM), poly(N,N‐dimethylaminoethylacrylamide) (PDMAEMA), and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) with the chain architecture of (A/B)‐b‐C‐b‐(A/B) were synthesized by the combination of single‐electron‐transfer living radical polymerization, atom‐transfer radical polymerization, and click chemistry. Single‐electron‐transfer living radical polymerization of NIPAM using α,ω azide‐capped PEG macroinitiator resulted in PNIPAM‐b‐PEG‐b‐PNIPAM with azide groups at the block joints. Atom‐transfer radical polymerization of DMAEMA initiated by propargyl 2‐chloropropionate gave out α‐capped alkyne‐PDMAEMA. The H‐shaped copolymers were finally obtained by the click reaction between PNIPAM‐b‐PEG‐b‐PNIPAM and alkyne‐PDMAEMA. These copolymers were used to prepare stable colloidal gold nanoparticles (GNPs) in aqueous solution without any external reducing agent. The formation of GNPs was affected by the length of PDMAEMA block, the feed ratio of the copolymer to HAuCl₄, and the pH value. The surface plasmon absorbance of these obtained GNPs also exhibited pH and thermal dependence because of the existence of PNIAPM and PDAMEMA blocks. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The Effect of the Chain Length on MMA Free Radicl Polymerization

It has been known that the propagation rate coefficient (kp) will change with monomer conversion, Friss, Hamielec et al.1-5 have proposed many formulas about kp to fit this change. In order to obtain the relation between Arrhenius parameters and monomer conversion, a group of kp values at the same monomer conversion must be measured. We adopted a new method through analysis of kp values measured by usual experimental techniques for this purpose. Firstly, we chose a value of monomer convers…     

Application of the Singularity-Separating Method to American Exotic Option Pricing

This paper is devoted to numerical methods for American barrier and lookback options, which are important examples of American exotic options. Since the singularity-separating method is adopted, accurate numerical results can be obtained very fast.
