Synthesis and characterization of π-extended thienoacenes with up to 13 fused aromatic rings

π-Extended thienoacenes that comprise alternatively arranged anthracene and thieno[3,2-b]thiophene moieties and have 8 or 13 aromatic rings were synthesized. The delocalization of their HOMO and LUMO orbitals is over the entire molecules, and low-lying HOMO levels endow them good stability.     

Phosphine-mediated synthesis of trifluoromethyl substituted pyrroles using TFAA as the CF3 source

A phosphine-mediated synthesis of trifluoromethyl substituted pyrrole derivatives was achieved. The method described here is very fast, operationally simple, and easily amenable to scale-up, and commercially available trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA) is used as the only trifluoromethyl source. A wide range of products were obtained with good yields under mild condition using this method.     

Pd-catalyzed assembly of phenanthridines from aryl ketone O-acetyloximes and arynes through C–H bond activation

Pd-catalyzed annulation of aryne and aryl ketone O-acetyloxime via C–H bond activation was realized. Through the C–H bond activation/insertion/cyclization/elimination reaction sequence, phenanthridines are successfully constructed, providing an attractive strategy to approach substituted heterocycle without preactivation of starting materials.     

Electrophile-driven copper-catalyzed one-pot synthesis of 3-halogen quinoline derivatives

A convenient and regioselective one-pot synthesis of 3-chloride or 3-bromide quinoline derivatives was achieved through a Grignard addition reaction by alkynyl Grignard regent to o-trifluoroacetyl aniline and a Cu(II)-catalyzed cyclization–halogenation tandem reaction with aqueous HCl or HBr as electrophilic reagent.     

Theoretical study on the gas phase reaction of propargyl alcohol with hydroxyl radical

The reaction of propargyl alcohol with hydroxyl radical has been studied extensively at CCSD(T)/aug‐cc‐pVTZ//MP2/cc‐pVTZ level. This is the first time to gain a conclusive insight into the reaction mechanism and kinetics for this important reaction in detail. Two reaction mechanisms were revealed, namely addition/elimination and hydrogen abstraction mechanism. The reaction mechanism confirms that OH addition to C?C triple bond forms the chemically activated adducts, IM1 (·CHCOHCH₂OH) and IM2 (CHOH·CCH₂OH), and the hydrogen abstraction pathways (? CH₂OH bonded to the carbon atom and alcohol hydrogen) may occur via low barriers. Harmonic model of Rice–Ramsperger–Kassel–Marcus theory and variational transition state theory are used to calculate the overall and individual rate constants over a wide range of temperatures and pressures. The calculated rate constants are in good agreement with the experimental data. At atmospheric pressure with Ar as bath gas, IM1 (·CHCOHCH₂OH) and IM2 (CHOH·CCH₂OH) formed by collisional stabilization are dominant in the low temperature range. The production of CHCCHOH + H₂O via hydrogen abstraction becomes dominate at higher temperature. The fraction of IM3 (CH₂COHCH₂·O) is very significant over the moderate temperature range. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Extraction kinetics of Uranium(VI) and Thorium(IV) with Tri-iso-amyl phosphate from nitric acid using a Lewis Cell

The extraction kinetics of uranium(VI) and thorium(IV) with Tri-iso-amyl phosphate (TiAP) from nitric acid medium has been investigated using a Lewis Cell. Especially, dependences of the extraction rate on stirring speed, temperature, interfacial area were firstly measured to elucidate the extraction kinetics regimes. The experimental results demonstrated that extraction kinetic of U(VI) is governed by chemical reactions at interface with an activation energy, E_a, of 43.41 kJ/mol, while the rate of Th(IV) extraction is proved to be intermediate controlled, of which the E_a is 23.20 kJ/mol. Reaction orders with respect to the influencing parameters of the extraction rate are determined, and the rate equations of U(VI) and Th(IV) at 293 K have been proposed as $$ {\text{r}} = - {\text{dcUO}}_{ 2} \left( {{\text{NO}}_{ 3} } \right)_{ 2} /{\text{dt}} = 1. 80 \times 10^{ - 3} \left[ {{\text{UO}}_{ 2} \left( {{\text{NO}}_{ 3} } \right)_{ 2} } \right]^{ 1.0 1} \left[ {\text{TiAP}} \right]^{0. 5 5} , $$ $$ {\text{r}} = - {\text{dcTh }}\left( {{\text{NO}}_{ 3} } \right)_{ 4} /{\text{dt}} = 1. 8 8\times 10^{ - 3} \left[ {{\text{Th }}\left( {{\text{NO}}_{ 3} } \right)_{ 4} } \right]^{ 1.0 4} \left[ {\text{TiAP}} \right]^{ 1. 7 7} \left[ {{\text{HNO}}_{ 3} } \right]^{0. 3 8} , $$ respectively.

Simultaneous determination of ten organophosphate pesticide residues in fruits by gas chromatography coupled with magnetic separation

In this study, γ‐Fe₂O₃/chitosan magnetic microspheres were synthesized and evaluated by X‐ray diffraction, SEM, thermogravimetric analysis, and static and kinetic adsorption experiments. Results showed that the magnetic microspheres exhibited good adsorption ability, and offered fast kinetics for the adsorption of trichlorfon, methamidophos, malathion, methyl parathion, dimethoate, omethoate, phosphamidon, phorate, isocarbophos, and chlorpyrifos. Based on magnetic separation, a simple method of magnetic SPE coupled to GC for the simultaneous determination of ten trace organophosphate pesticide residues was developed. Under the optimal conditions, the enrichment factor for ten organophosphorus pesticides was 10.1–364.7 and linear range was 0.001–10.0 mg/L. The LOD (S/N = 3) of the method for the ten pesticides was 0.31–3.59 μg/kg. The RSD for three replicate extractions of spiked samples was between 2.5 and 6.3%. The pear and apple samples spiked with ten organophosphate pesticides at 20 and 200 μg/kg levels were extracted and determined by this method with good recoveries ranging from 79.9 to 98.7%. Moreover, the method has been successfully applied for the determination of the ten organophosphate pesticide residues in peach samples.     

Synthesis,Persistent Luminescence,and Thermoluminescence Properties of Yellow Sr3SiO5:Eu2+,RE3+ (RE=Ce,Nd, Dy,Ho, Er,Tm, Yb) and Orange‐Red Sr3−xBaxSiO5:Eu2+, Dy3+ Phosphor

Sunlight‐excitable orange or red persistent oxide phosphors with excellent performance are still in great need. Herein, an intense orange‐red Sr_3?xBa_xSiO₅:Eu²⁺,Dy³⁺ persistent luminescence phosphor was successfully developed by a two‐step design strategy. The XRD patterns, photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra, and the thermoluminescence spectra were investigated in detail. By adding non‐equivalent trivalent rare earth co‐dopants to introduce foreign trapping centers, the persistent luminescence performance of Eu²⁺ in Sr₃SiO₅ was significantly modified. The yellow persistent emission intensity of Eu²⁺ was greatly enhanced by a factor of 4.5 in Sr₃SiO₅:Eu²⁺,Nd³⁺ compared with the previously reported Sr₃SiO₅:Eu²⁺, Dy³⁺. Furthermore, Sr ions were replaced with equivalent Ba to give Sr_3?xBa_xSiO₅:Eu²⁺,Dy³⁺ phosphor, which shows yellow‐to‐orange‐red tunable persistent emissions from λ=570 to 591 nm as x is increased from 0 to 0.6. Additionally, the persistent emission intensity of Eu²⁺ is significantly improved by a factor of 2.7 in Sr_3?xBa_xSiO₅:Eu²⁺,Dy³⁺ (x=0.2) compared with Sr₃SiO₅:Eu²⁺,Dy³⁺. A possible mechanism for enhanced and tunable persistent luminescence behavior of Eu²⁺ in Sr_3?xBa_xSiO₅:Eu²⁺,RE³⁺ (RE=rare earth) is also proposed and discussed.
