Synthesis and antitumor and antibacterial evaluation of fluoroquinolone derivatives(Ⅲ):Mono- and bis-Schiff-bases

To further explore an efficient modified route for the shift from an antibacterial fluoroquinolone to an antitumor one,mono-Schiff bases 6a-6h related to ciprofloxacin C3 carbonylhydrazone and bis-Schiff bases 4a-4h corresponding to C3/C7 carbonylhydrazone/hydrazone attached on a skeleton of ciprofloquinolone were designed and synthesized,and their in vitro antitumor activity against CHO,HL60,L1210 cells and antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were also reported.     

Self-assembly of coil-rod-coil molecules into bicontinuous cubic and oblique columnar assemblies depending on coil chain length

Coil-rod-coil molecules 1–3, consisting of four biphenyls and a p-terphenyl unit linked together with ether bonds as a rod segment and poly(propylene oxide) (PPO) with a degree of polymerization (DP) of 7, 12, 17 as coil segments were synthesized. These molecules contain lateral methyl groups at 2 and 5 positions of the middle benzene ring of p-terphenyl. The self-assembling behavior of molecules 1–3 was investigated by means of DSC, POM and SAXS in the bulk state. Molecule 1 self-organizes into a lamellar structure in the bulk state and transfers into a bicontinuous cubic structure in the liquid crystalline phase. While, molecules 2, 3 containing longer coil chains than 1 self-assemble into the hexagonal perforated lamellar (HPL) structures and the oblique columnar structures in the solid state and liquid crystalline phase, respectively. These results reveal that self-organizing behavior of such molecules is dramatically influenced by the length of the coil chains connected with the rod building block, as well as the lateral methyl groups incorporating in the middle of the rod segment.     

Efficient and Rapid Method for the Oxidation of Electron‐Rich Aromatic Aldehydes to Carboxylic Acids Using Improved Basic Hydrogen Peroxide

An efficient and rapid method for oxidation of electron‐rich aromatic aldehydes to their corresponding carboxylic acids in excellent yields was developed. It is based on the oxidation of methoxy‐substituted benzaldehydes in methanol with an improved aqueous basic hydrogen peroxide system. Benzaldehydes with electron‐withdrawing substituents are oxidized to the corresponding carboxylic acid in excellent yields under mild reaction conditions.     

Design and synthesis of pyromellitic diimide‐based donor–acceptor conjugated polymers for photovoltaic application

Three of conjugated polymers based on pyromellitic diimide (PMDI) as the acceptor unit and thienothiophene (TT) as the donor unit were successfully synthesized by Stille coupling. The effect of the side chain length and thiophene π‐bridge on the polymers' optical and electrochemical properties was investigated. Electrochemical characterization indicated that these polymers have deep highest occupied molecular orbital energy levels between ?5.7 and ?5.8 eV. Polymer solar cells were fabricated by using these PMDI‐based polymers as the donor and [6,6]‐phenyl‐C61‐butyric acid methyl ester as the acceptor. The polymer P1 whose PMDI unit was functionalized with 2‐ethylhexyl side chain shows the higher short‐circuit current (J_sc) and fill factor (FF) compared with that of P2 with a 2‐octyldodecyl side chain on the PMDI unit. The results also illustrate that the insertion of a thiophene π‐bridge between PMDI and TT (the polymer P3) leads to the broader absorption and better photovoltaic performance. The best performance was obtained from the cell based on the polymer P3 with a power conversion efficiency of 0.43% under the illumination of AM 1.5 G, 100 mW/cm².

Design Strategies for High-Performance Aqueous Zn/Organic Batteries

Organic electroactive compounds are attractive to serve as the cathode materials of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) because of their resource renewability, environmentally friendliness and structural diversity. Up to now, various organic electrode materials have been developed and different redox mechanisms are observed in aqueous Zn/organic battery systems. In this Minireview, we present the recent developments in the energy storage mechanisms and design of the organic electrode materials of aqueous ZIBs, including carbonyl compounds, imine compounds, conductive polymers, nitronyl nitroxides, organosulfur polymers and triphenylamine derivatives.

不同加载速率下砂岩弯曲破坏的细观机理

岩石细观破裂形貌是岩石破坏机制的重要反映,为研究不同加载速率对砂岩弯曲破坏的影响,通过三点弯曲实验和扫描电镜方法,对某煤矿关键层砂岩弯曲破断裂纹细观形态以及裂纹的自相似性进行了研究。选取6个不同加载速率对岩样进行三点弯曲实验,观察其宏观断裂情况,并利用扫描电镜对弯曲断裂面表面裂纹细观结构进行观察,并拍摄不同倍数下的扫描电镜图片。对图片进行图像处理后得到砂岩弯曲断裂破坏细观裂纹信息,并计算得到微裂纹的分形盒维数值。结果显示:随着加载速率的提高,砂岩穿晶断裂的比例也随之升高,裂纹分形维数亦随着加载速率的增大而增加,同时,分形维数还与弯曲断裂破坏荷载和抗弯强度成正比。可见,加载速率对断裂方式有一定的影响,且加载速率越大断裂所需的破坏能越大,裂纹分布越广,表明开采速度与岩爆等岩体动力灾变有密切关系。
