Synthesis of porphyrin nitrogen mustards with potential anti-tumor activities in chemotheraphy and photodynamic therapy

2,7,12,18-Tetramethyl-13,17-di[3'-N,N'-di(2"-chloroethyl)aminopropyl]porphin and it's 3,8-di(1'-alkyloxyethyl)-analogous or porphyrin-nitrogen mustards were synthesized for the first time Their structures were determined by spectroscopics and elemental analyses.Most of the compounds possess both the chemotherapeutic and photodynamic effects on tumor and deserve further investigation.     

Spacial Structure of Cationic Phosphorus Ligand–Ru (II) Halide Complexes—by DFT Study

The increasing demand to produce enantio-pure pharmaceuticals, flavors, and other fine chemicals has advanced the field of asymmetry catalytic technologies. Among all asymmetry catalytic methods, catalytic enantioselective hydrogenation of unsaturated bonds such as olefins, ketones, and imines, which employs dihydrogen and small amounts of transition-metal complexes modified intrinsically by chiral ligands, is now recognized as being the most promising strategy for the synthesis of large amount…     

A SAPO-11 Silicoaluminophosphate Molecular Sieve with Stable Crystal Structure

A SAPO-11 silicoaluminophosphate molecular sieve with stable crystal structure was synthesized for the first time. After removing template by calcination, its crystal space group still retains Icm2 which the as-synthesized has. The catalyst deriving from the present SAPO-I 1 materials shows higher isomerization selectivity and higher paraffin hydroisomerization yield than those reported elsewhere.     

Syntheses of Some New Group 4 non-Cp Complexes Bearing Schiff-base, Thiophene Diamide Ligands Respectively and Their Catalytic Activities for α-Olefin Polymerization

Introduction Tremendous advances have been witnessed during the last decade in the syntheses and application of Group 4 metal complexes because of the motivity which comes from both academic and industrial field. Among them, studies have been dominated by the complexes supported by bis or mono cyclopentadienyl ligands, such as Cp2MX2 or half sandwich amide (CGC) com-plexes.1-6 At that time chemists paid a little attention to the non-cyclopentadienyl complexes, but in recent years, many chem…     

Studies on Natural CXN Zeolite： Modification, Framework De-alumination and Ion-exchange

A natural CXN zeolite (stilbite, type code-STI) discovered in China was modified with NH4^ exchange by using ammonium salt and calcinations (procedure Ⅰ), or with NH4 exchange followed by treatment with acid (procedure Ⅱ). The coordination state of Si and A1 atoms in the framework, the property of ion exchange, and the adsorption of the H-STI zeolite samples prepared by different modification procedure were investigated with XRD,EDX,^29Si and ^27Al MAS NMR, Ag^ ion exchange and Ne adsorption. The results of the investigations indicate that different procedure of the modification made variety on the distribution of the framework Si atoms and A1 atoms,the content of non-framework aluminum, and the blocking channels and the shielding effect to the positions of the exchangeable cations. The H-STI zeolite prepared by the procedure Ⅱ possesses high ion exchange capacity, open and perfect pore system, and high thermal stability.     

A Novel Total Synthesis of (±)Shikonin

Shikonin 1 was a key component isolated from the traditional Chinese herbal medicine, Zicao(Lithospermum erythrorhizon Sieb.et Zucc), which possesses multiple biological activities1. There have been many synthetic routes to shikonin, however, all these ro…     

Synthesis of Fluoroalkylated Heterocycles via the Reaction of 3-(1-Hydropolyfluoroalkenyl)-1-oxo-2,4,1-benzoxazines with Dinucleophilic Reagents

The reaction of 3-(1-hydropolyfluoroalkenyl)-1-oxo-2,4,1-benzoxazines 1 with some dinucleophiles was inves-tigated.7-Fluoroalkyl-2,3-dihydro-1,4-diazepine[1,2-d]quinazolin-11-ones 2,2-fluoroalkylisoxazolo[3,2-b]quin-azolin-9-ones 3 and 2-fluoroalkylbenzoimidazoles 4 were obtained from the reaction of 1 with 1,2-diaminoethane,hydroxylamine hydrochloride and 1,2-diaminobenzene respectively.     

Probing cytotoxicity of CdSe and CdSe/CdS quantum dots

Toxicities of CdSe and CdSe/CdS quantum dots(QDs) synthesized by ultrasound-assisted methods were investigated in vitro and in vivo.Five human cell lines were used to assess the cytotoxicity of as-prepared CdSe and CdSe/CdS by assays of MTT viability,red blood cell hemolysis,flow cytometry,and fluorescence imaging.The results show that these QDs may be cytotoxic by their influence in S and G2 phases in cell cycles.The cytotoxicity of QDs depends on both the physicochemical properties and related to target cells.     

Higher alcohol synthesis over Cu-Fe composite oxides with high selectivity to C2+OH

Cu-Fe composite oxides were prepared by co-precipitation method and tested for higher alcohol synthesis from syngas. The selectivity to C2+OH and C6+OH in alcohol distribution was very high while the methane product fraction in hydrocarbon distribution was rather low, demonstrating a promising potential in higher alcohols synthesis from syngas. The distribution of alcohols and hydrocarbons approximately obeyed Anderson-Schulz-Flory distribution with similar chain growth probability, indicating alcohols and hydrocarbons derived from the same intermediates. The effects of Cu/Fe molar ratio, reaction temperature and gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) on catalytic performance were studied in detail. The sample with a Cu/Fe molar ratio of 10/1 exhibited the best catalytic performance. Higher reaction temperature accelerated water-gas-shift reaction and led to lower total alcohols selectivity. GHSV showed great effect on catalytic performance and higher GHSV increased the total alcohol selectivity, indicating there existed visible dehydration reaction of alcohol into hydrocarbon.     

Photolysis of organic pollutants in wastewater with 206 nm UV irradiation

A new-type UV light source(206 nm) was explored for the degradation of organic pollutants in wastewater for the first time.The degradation performances of triphenyltin chloride(TPTCl),dimethyl phthalate(DMP),as well as rhodamine B(RhB) were investigated.The results indicated that removal efficiency of 50 mg/L RhB,60 mg/L DMP and 120 mg/L TPTCl can reach 88.6%, 92.5%and 89.4%for 60 min,50 min and 75 min,respectively.By comparison of removal efficiency,we found 206 nm is superior to 253.7 nm UV in wastewat...
