Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction of a series of ten crystalline silver(I)–trifluoroacetate complexes that contained designed ligands, each of which was composed of an aromatic system that was functionalized with terminal and internal ethynyl groups and a vinyl substituent, provided detailed information on the influence of ligand disposition and orientation, coordination preferences, and the co‐existence of different types of silver(I)–carbon bonding interactions (silver–ethynide, silver–ethynyl, silver–ethenyl, and silver–aromatic) on the construction of coordination networks that were consolidated by argentophilic and weak inter/intramolecular interactions. The complex Ag L10? 6 AgCF3CO2 ? H2O ? MeOH ( HL10 =1‐{[4‐(prop‐2‐ynyloxy)‐3‐vinylphenyl]ethynyl}naphthalene) is the first reported example that exhibits all four kinds of silver(I)–carbon bonding interactions in the solid state. 相似文献
Several 1:1 adducts of gallium trihalides with triarylphosphines, X3Ga(PR3) (X=Cl, Br, and I; PR3=triarylphosphine ligand), were investigated by using solid‐state 69/71Ga and 31P NMR spectroscopy at different magnetic‐field strengths. The 69/71Ga nuclear quadrupolar coupling parameters, as well as the gallium and phosphorus magnetic shielding tensors, were determined. The magnitude of the 71Ga quadrupolar coupling constants (CQ(71Ga)) range from approximately 0.9 to 11.0 MHz . The spans of the gallium magnetic shielding tensors for these complexes, δ11?δ33, range from approximately 30 to 380 ppm; those determined for phosphorus range from 10 to 40 ppm. For any given phosphine ligand, the gallium nuclei are most shielded for X=I and least shielded for X=Cl, a trend previously observed for InIII–phosphine complexes. This experimental trend, attributed to spin‐orbit effects of the halogen ligands, is reproduced by DFT calculations. The signs of CQ(69/71Ga) for some of the adducts were determined from the analysis of the 31P NMR spectra acquired with magic angle spinning (MAS). The 1J(69/71Ga,31P) and ΔJ(69/71Ga, 31P) values, as well as their signs, were also determined; values of 1J(71Ga,31P) range from approximately 380 to 1590 Hz. Values of 1J(69/71Ga,31P) and ΔJ(69/71Ga,31P) calculated by using DFT have comparable magnitudes and generally reproduce experimental trends. Both the Fermi‐contact and spin‐dipolar Fermi‐contact mechanisms make important contributions to the 1J(69/71Ga,31P) tensors. The 31P NMR spectra of several adducts in solution, obtained as a function of temperature, are contrasted with those obtained in the solid state. Finally, to complement the analysis of NMR spectra for these adducts, single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction data for Br3Ga[P(p‐Anis)3] and I3Ga[P(p‐Anis)3] were obtained. 相似文献
A facile procedure, involving one-pot synthesis of CeVO4/BiVO4 and in-situ reduction of graphene oxide (GO), has been used to prepare CeVO4/BiVO4/rGO nanocomposites. Different ratios of the CeVO4–BiVO4 were prepared to afford composites represented as CBVG3, CBVG5, and CBVG7. The ternary nanocomposite materials were characterized by using powder X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), photoluminescence and UV–vis spectroscopic techniques. Photocatalytic efficiency of the as-prepared ternary nanocomposites was investigated through the photo degradation of methyl orange under a visible light irradiation at 470 nm. The photocatalytic performance was enhanced by loading the CeVO4/BiVO4 nanoparticles on reduced graphene oxide (rGO), given MO degradation rate of 57, 65, 80, and 90% for BVG, CBVG3, CBVG5, and CBVG7, respectively after exposure to visible light for 120 min. Effects of experimental process parameters including initial dye concentration, catalysts loading and effect of different modification regimes were studied using CBVG7, which exhibited the highest efficiency. The improvement in the photocatalytic efficiency may be attributed to increased surface area of the nanocomposites, enhanced light absorption capacity and improved charge separation. The study showed a one-pot synthesis route to prepare promising CeVO4/BiVO4/GO nanocomposites for the photo-enhanced degradation of dye contaminants.
Sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) utilize cheaper materials than lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and can thus be used in larger scale applications. The preferred anode material is hard carbon, because sodium cannot be inserted into graphite. We apply experimental entropy profiling (EP), where the cell temperature is changed under open circuit conditions. EP has been used to characterize LIBs; here, we demonstrate the first application of EP to any NIB material. The voltage versus sodiation fraction curves (voltage profiles) of hard carbon lack clear features, consisting only of a slope and a plateau, making it difficult to clarify the structural features of hard carbon that could optimize cell performance. We find additional features through EP that are masked in the voltage profiles. We fit lattice gas models of hard carbon sodiation to experimental EP and system enthalpy, obtaining: 1. a theoretical maximum capacity, 2. interlayer versus pore filled sodium with state of charge. 相似文献
Since ancient times, various herbs have been used in Asia, including Korea, China, and Japan, for wound healing and antiaging of the skin. In this study, we manufactured and chemically analyzed a novel distillate obtained from a fermented mixture of nine anti-inflammatory herbs (Angelica gigas, Lonicera japonica, Dictamnus dasycarpus Turcz., D. opposita Thunb., Ulmus davidiana var. japonica, Hordeum vulgare var. hexastichon Aschers., Xanthium strumarium L., Cnidium officinale, and Houttuynia cordata Thunb.). The fermentation of natural plants possesses beneficial effects in living systems. These activities are attributed to the chemical conversion of the parent plants to functional constituents which show more potent biological activities. In our current study, the distillate has been manufactured after fermenting the nine oriental medical plants with Lactobacillus fermentum, followed by distilling. We analyzed the chemical ingredients involved in the distillate and evaluated the effects of topical application of the distillate on ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced skin damage in Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) mice. Topical application of the distillate significantly ameliorated the macroscopic and microscopic morphology of the dorsal skin against photodamage induced by UVB radiation. Additionally, our current results showed that topical application of the distillate alleviated collagen disruption and reduced levels of proinflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin 1 β expressions) in the dorsal skin against UVB radiation. Taken together, our current findings suggest that the distillate has a potential to be used as a material to develop a photoprotective adjuvant. 相似文献

Addition of an anionic donor to an MnV(O) porphyrinoid complex causes a dramatic increase in 2‐electron oxygen‐atom‐transfer (OAT) chemistry. The 6‐coordinate [MnV(O)(TBP8Cz)(CN)]? was generated from addition of Bu4N+CN? to the 5‐coordinate MnV(O) precursor. The cyanide‐ligated complex was characterized for the first time by Mn K‐edge X‐ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and gives Mn?O=1.53 Å, Mn?CN=2.21 Å. In combination with computational studies these distances were shown to correlate with a singlet ground state. Reaction of the CN? complex with thioethers results in OAT to give the corresponding sulfoxide and a 2e?‐reduced MnIII(CN)? complex. Kinetic measurements reveal a dramatic rate enhancement for OAT of approximately 24 000‐fold versus the same reaction for the parent 5‐coordinate complex. An Eyring analysis gives ΔH≠=14 kcal mol?1, ΔS≠=?10 cal mol?1 K?1. Computational studies fully support the structures, spin states, and relative reactivity of the 5‐ and 6‐coordinate MnV(O) complexes. 相似文献
A cellulose filter for water disinfection was developed using a polycarboxylic acid and an aromatic amine via a simple process with water as a solvent. 1,2,3,4-Butanetetracarboxylic acid/m-phenylenediamine solution was applied to cellulose filters using a pad–dry–curing process. The surfaces of treated cellulose filters were examined by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The liquid permeabilities of treated cellulose filters were determined by capillary flow porometry, and their water disinfection efficacies were measured by non-pressure-driven filtration. Chlorinated cellulose filters disinfected Escherichia coli- and Staphylococcus aureus-containing solutions to a much higher degree than observed for nonchlorinated cellulose filters. 相似文献
The development of a concise total synthesis of (±)‐phyllantidine ( 1 ), a member of the securinega family of alkaloids containing an unusual oxazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane core, is described. The synthesis employs a unique synthetic strategy featuring the ring expansion of a substituted cyclopentanone to a cyclic hydroxamic acid as a key step that allows facile installation of the embedded nitrogen‐oxygen (N?O) bond. The optimization of this sequence to effect the desired regiochemical outcome and its mechanistic underpinnings were assessed both computationally and experimentally. This synthetic approach also features an early‐stage diastereoselective aldol reaction to assemble the substituted cyclopentanone, a mild reduction of an amide intermediate without N?O bond cleavage, and the rapid assembly of the butenolide found in ( 1 ) via use of the Bestmann ylide. 相似文献
