Palladium nanoparticles have been prepared using different techniques, CO2-assisted microfluidics coflow or thermolysis using ionic liquids. Both techniques displayed interesting activities in dehydrogenation of diisopropylamine–borane complex, and allowed performing a dehydrogenation–arylation sequence with the creation of a carbon–boron bond. 相似文献
Tuning the chain‐end functionality of a short‐chain cationic homopolymer, owing to the nature of the initiator used in the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) polymerization step, can be used to mediate the formation of a gel of this poly(electrolyte) in water. While a neutral end group gives a solution of low viscosity, a highly homogeneous gel is obtained with a phosphonate anionic moiety, as characterized by rheometry and diffusion nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). This novel type of supramolecular control over poly(electrolytic) gel formation could find potential use in a variety of applications in the field of electro‐active materials.
The crystal structure of a new cocrystal of carbamazepine (systematic name: 5H‐dibenzo[b,f]azepine‐5‐carboxamide, C15H12N2O) and dl ‐tartaric acid (C4H6O6), obtained by liquid‐assisted grinding, was solved by powder X‐ray diffraction (PXRD). The high‐resolution PXRD pattern of this new phase was recorded at room temperature thanks to synchrotron experiments at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (Grenoble, France). The starting structural model was generated by a Monte‐Carlo simulated annealing method. The final structure was obtained through Rietveld refinement and an energy minimization simulation was used to estimate the H‐atom positions. The stability of the proposed structure as a function of temperature was also assessed from molecular dynamics simulations. The symmetry is monoclinic (space group P21/c) and contains eight molecules per unit cell, namely, four dl ‐tartaric acid and four carbamazepine molecules. 相似文献
DNA-templated self-assembly represents a rich and growing subset of supramolecular chemistry where functional self-assemblies are programmed in a versatile manner using nucleic acids as readily-available and readily-tunable templates. In this review, we summarize the different DNA recognition modes and the basic supramolecular interactions at play in this context. We discuss the recent results that report the DNA-templated self-assembly of small molecules into complex yet precise nanoarrays, going from 1D to 3D architectures. Finally, we show their emerging functions as photonic/electronic nanowires, sensors, gene delivery vectors, and supramolecular catalysts, and their growing applications in a wide range of area from materials to biological sciences. 相似文献
