Two highly energetic nitric acid esters were synthesized from the dimer of dihydroxyacetone. 1,3‐Dinitratoacetone ( 1 ) and its dimer 2,5‐bis(nitratomethyl‐2,5‐nitrato)‐1,4‐dioxane ( 2 ) were characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, vibrational spectroscopy (IR and Raman), multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The thermal behavior was investigated with DTA measurements. Although showing the same atomic stoichiometry, dimer 2 shows significantly higher sensitivities measured by BAM methods (drophammer and friction tester). Due to the high oxygen content of 62.2 %, 1 and 2 were evaluated as potential high energy dense oxidizers. 相似文献
The trans‐bis(trimethylsilyl)chalcogenolate palladium complexes, trans‐[Pd(ESiMe3)2(PnBu3)2] [E = S ( 1 ) and Se ( 2 )] were synthesized in good yields and high purity by reacting trans‐[PdCl2(PBu3)2] with LiESiMe3 (E = S, Se), respectively. These complexes were characterized by 1H, 13C{1H}, 31P{1H} (and 77Se{1H}) NMR spectroscopy and single‐crystal X‐ray analysis. The reaction of 2 with propionyl chloride led to the formation of trans‐[Pd(SeC(O)CH2CH3)2(PnBu3)2] ( 3 ), a trans‐bis(selenocarboxylato) palladium complex and thus established a new method for the formation of this type of complex. Complex 3 was characterized by 1H, 13C{1H}, 31P{1H} and 77Se{1H} NMR spectroscopy and a single‐crystal X‐ray structure analysis. 相似文献
The synthesis of a unique series of heteromultinuclear transition metal compounds is reported. Complexes 1‐I‐3‐Br‐5‐(FcC≡C)‐C6H3 ( 4 ), 1‐Br‐3‐(bpy‐C≡C)‐5‐(FcC≡C)‐C6H3 ( 6 ), 1,3‐(bpy‐C≡C)2‐5‐(FcC≡C)‐C6H3 ( 7 ), 1‐(XC≡C)‐3‐(bpy‐C≡C)‐5‐(FcC≡C)‐C6H3 ( 8 , X = SiMe3; 9 , X = H), 1‐(HC≡C)‐3‐[(CO)3ClRe(bpy‐C≡C)]‐5‐(FcC≡C)‐C6H3 ( 11 ), 1‐[(Ph3P)AuC≡C]‐3‐[(CO)3ClRe(bpy‐C≡C)]‐5‐(FcC≡C)‐C6H3 ( 13 ), 1‐[(Ph3P)AuC≡C]‐3‐(bpy‐C≡C)‐5‐(FcC≡C)‐C6H3 ( 14 ), [1‐[(Ph3PAuC≡C]‐3‐[{[Ti](C≡CSiMe3)2}Cu(bpy‐C≡C)]‐5‐(FcC≡C)‐C6H3]PF6 ( 16 ), and [1,3‐[(tBu2bpy)2Ru(bpy‐C≡C)]2‐5‐(FcC≡C)‐C6H3](PF6)4 ( 18 ) (Fc = (η5‐C5H4)(η5‐C5H5)Fe, bpy = 2,2′‐bipyridiyl‐5‐yl, [Ti] = (η5‐C5H4SiMe3)2Ti) were prepared by using consecutive synthesis methodologies including metathesis, desilylation, dehydrohalogenation, and carbon–carbon cross‐coupling reactions. In these complexes the corresponding metal atoms are connected by carbon‐rich bridging units comprising 1,3‐diethynyl‐, 1,3,5‐triethynylbenzene and bipyridyl units. They were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectroscopy, and partly by ESI‐TOF mass spectrometry., The structures of 4 and 11 in the solid state are reported. Both molecules are characterized by the central benzene core bridging the individual transition metal complex fragments. The corresponding acetylide entities are, as typical, found in a linear arrangement with representative M–C, C–CC≡C and C≡C bond lengths. 相似文献
Two mesoporous carbons (with 15 (CIC-15) and 26 nm (CIC-26) diameter pores) were synthesized using a silica colloid imprinting method, loaded with 10 wt.% Pt, and then evaluated (against Vulcan? carbon (VC)) as oxygen reduction (ORR) catalysts for use in proton exchange membrane fuel cells. Both Pt/CICs reproducibly out-performed Pt/VC, with Pt/CIC-15 demonstrating higher ORR activity than Pt/CIC-26, despite its smaller pore size and lower surface area. Transmission electron tomography showed that the Pt nanoparticles (4–5 nm diameter) are fully deposited throughout the pores of the CICs and that the pore distribution in CIC-26 is partially ordered, while CIC-15 shows no ordering of its pores. Importantly, using the powerful imaging capabilities of transmission electron tomography, a first-time correlation is demonstrated between the ORR activity and the wall thickness of the carbon support materials. Pt/CIC-15 has significantly thicker walls, giving a lower measured electronic resistance, a lower ORR Tafel slope, and thus better performance overall compared to Pt/CIC-26. 相似文献
The biosynthesis of natural products is a treasure trove of unusual reaction mechanisms.

Novel ‘nano in nano’ composites consisting of biodegradable polymer nanoparticles incorporated into polymer nanofibers may efficiently modulate drug delivery. This is shown here using a combination of model compound‐loaded biodegradable nanoparticles encapsulated in electrospun fibers. The dye coumarin 6 is used as model compound for a drug in order to simulate drug release from loaded poly(lactide‐co‐glycolide) nanoparticles. Dye release from the nanoparticles occurs immediately in aqueous solution. Dye‐loaded nanoparticles which are encapsulated by electrospun polymer nanofibers display a significantly retarded release.
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) can decorate surfaces with `smart′ functional units possessing reversible stimulus-response behavior for optical, thermal, magnetic or redox-chemical stimuli. An independent performance of individual functional groups in such a film is desirable, which can be, in particular, ensured by fairly large lateral separations between tailgroups in the SAM. Adsorbate molecules with multiple attachment points are very promising in this context owing to their large surface footprint, which covers a surface area exceeding the lateral dimensions of the functional groups. To address these design constraints, novel tridentate long-chain tripodal thioether ligands with central adamantine units and a redox-active ferrocenyl tailgroup, 1-[4-(ferrocenylethynyl)phenyl]-3,5,7-tri[(4-n-octylsulfanyl)phenyl]adamantine (T8) and 1-[4-(ferrocenylethynyl)phenyl]-3,5,7-tri[(4-n-dodecylsulfanyl)phenyl]adamantine (T12), were synthesized and used as tripodal adsorbate molecules for the fabrication of redox-active ferrocenyl-terminated SAMs on Au(111). These SAMs were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, near edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy and sum frequency generation spectroscopy. The data suggest that T8 and T12 form almost contamination-free, well-aligned and fairly densely-packed SAMs on Au(111) with laterally separated ferrocenyl units. The SAMs show a homogeneous binding chemistry, an important requirement for high fidelity SAMs. SFG results indicate lateral interactions between neighboring molecules via the long-chain binding units. 相似文献
