Electrodeposition of nanocrystalline zinc from acidic sulfate solutions containing thiourea and benzalacetone as additives

Nanocrystalline zinc coatings were produced by pulse electrodeposition in acid sulfate bath containing thiourea and benzalacetone additives and characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy techniques. The influence of benzalacetone concentration and pulse peak current density on the grain size and crystallographic orientation of zinc deposits was investigated. Zinc electrodeposited from additive-free solutions or with one of the two additives is not composed of nanosized crystals. The mixture additives of thiourea and benzalacetone give rise to the formation of particle-like nanocrystalline zinc with a (10ī1) random orientation. A change in peak current density from 2 to 1 A/cm² only increases the grain size from 60 to 62 nm.     

Formation and structure of a novel enediyne-RNA base covalent adduct

The structure of an unusual covalent adduct formed by thiol-activated neocarzinostatin chromophore (NCS-chrom) and a RNA-DNA hybrid having an overhang of four unpaired residues at the 3'-end of the RNA strand has been elucidated by MS and NMR spectroscopic analyses. Unlike previously characterized adducts formed by NCS-chrom on the sugar residue of the DNA target, this adduct has been found to be on one of the uracil bases in the RNA overhang. Covalent linkage is between C-6 of the post-activated NCS-chrom and C-5 of the uracil. A novel mechanism involving adduction of the NCS-chrom C-6 radical, generated by 2-mercaptoethanol activation, to C-5 of the uracil at the U9 position of the RNA 11-mer, oxidation by dioxygen, reduction by the thiol, and subsequent dehydration is proposed for adduct formation.     

Redox Polymerization of Methyl Methacrylate in the Fluorous Triphasic System

Fluorous-phase chemistry is currently a topic of considerable interest1-6. Since fluoroustriphasic reactions were first described by the Curran and co-workers7, this triphasicsystem has been widely used for detagging7,8 and phase-vanishing reactions9-11. …

A new two‐dimensional CdII coordination polymer constructed by pyrazine‐2,3‐dicarboxyl­ate

In the title compound, poly[μ₅‐pyrazine‐2,3‐dicarboxyl­ato‐cadmium(II)], [Cd(C₆H₂N₂O₄)]_n or [Cd(pdc)]_n, where pdc is the pyrazine‐2,3‐dicarboxyl­ate anion, the Cd^II atom is six‐coordinated by five carboxyl­ate O atoms and one N atom from five different pdc ligands in a distorted octa­hedral CdO₅N coordination geometry. Two Cd^II atoms are bridged by carboxyl­ate groups of the pdc ligands to create a dimeric unit. The dimeric units are further connected by the pdc ligands to generate an inter­esting two‐dimensional structure.     

Determination of Utratrace Silver Using Surfactant As Sensitizer by Catalytic Near Field Laser Thermal Lens Spectrometry

Thermal lens spectrometry (TLS) is an excellent tool for trace analysis1. TLS allows the detection of absorbances of 10-7～10-8, concentration of ≈ 10-11 mol稬-1 and the analysis of 10-15 L volumes with ≈10-2 absorbing molecules2. Kinetic analysis is playing an increasingly important part in modern analytical chemistry. Therefore, TLS shows much promise in combination with kinetic analysis. However, there are few data on TLS applications in kinetic analysis method so far3～4. A ne…     

Formyl-selective deuteration of aldehydes with D2O via synergistic organic and photoredox catalysis

Formyl-selective deuteration of aldehydes is of high interest for labeling purposes and for optimizing properties of drug candidates. Herein, we report a mild general method for formyl-selective deuterium labeling of aldehydes with D₂O, an inexpensive deuterium source, via a synergistic combination of light-driven, polyoxometalate-facilitated hydrogen atom transfer and thiol catalysis. This highly efficient, scalable reaction showed excellent deuterium incorporation, a broad substrate scope, and excellent functional group tolerance and selectivity and is therefore a practical method for late-stage modification of synthetic intermediates in medicinal chemistry and for generating libraries of deuterated compounds.

Formyl-selective deuteration of aldehydes with D₂O mediated by the synergistic combination of light-driven, polyoxometalate-facilitated HAT and thiol catalysis is reported.
