Cross-metathesis of vinyl aromatic heterocycles with 1-octene in the presence of a Schrock catalyst

Metathesis of 2-vinyl aromatic heterocycles such as furan, thiophene, pyrrole and pyridine in the presence of a molybdenum-based Schrock catalyst has been investigated from a synthetic point of view. The self-metathesis of 2-vinyl aromatic heterocycles was not successful. However, in cross-metathesis of thiophene, furan and styrene with 1-octene, the cross-metathesis product, heterodimer, was readily obtained selectively, together with only small amounts of the two corresponding self-metathesis products. The origin of the surprisingly high selectivity of heterodimer formation was elucidated through metallacyclobutane intermediate mechanism, observations of carbenes by in situ ¹H NMR, and reaction products.

桥联双β-环糊精对N-[4-(1-芘基)]丁酰-D/L-苯丙氨酸的手性识别及机理研究

利用紫外-可见吸收和荧光发射光谱, 结合非线性最小二乘法拟合曲线以及分子力学(MM2)模拟系统地研究了手性分子N-[4-(1-芘基)]丁酰-D/L-苯丙氨酸(PDP和PLP, 总称PPs)与β-环糊精(β-CD)、 2-位硒桥联双β-CD(2-SeCD)和2-位碲桥联双β-CD(2-TeCD)的包结能力大小及这3个环糊精对PPs手性识别能力的差异和识别机理. 研究结果表明, PPs不能与单疏水空腔的β-CD形成很好的包结复合物, 与具有较长桥联链的2-TeCD结合能力最强. 2-TeCD与PDP和PLP的结合常数分别为2.33×104和6.07×103 L/mol, 对PPs的手性识别比达到KD/KL=3.84, 高于2-SeCD(KD/KL=2.61). 用MM2模拟得出了PPs与这两个双环糊精形成复合物的三维结构: PPs的绝大部分位于双环糊精两个空腔之间, 但是在这两个复合物中, 苯环与芘环所成的二面角不同. 此外, PPs与这两个双环糊精作用时均存在明显的氢键相互作用, 且2-TeCD强于2-SeCD.     

Theoretical Investigation on the Second-order Nonlinear Optical Properties of Chiral Amino Acid Zinc（Ⅱ） Porphyrins

Static second-order nonlinear optical effects of amino acid zinc(Ⅱ) porphyrins 1, 2,3 and 4 were calculated by the TDHF/PM3 method based on the molecular structures optim.zed at the semiempirical PM3 quantum chemistry level, showing due to the cancellation of symmetric center, these amino acid zinc(H) porphyrins exhibit second order nonlinear optical response. The analysis of β components indicated that these amino acid zinc(Ⅱ) porphyrins are of multipolarizabilities, and they may be ascribed as the “mixture” of octupolar and dipoar molecules with ||βJ=3||/||βJ=1||≈5. It is found that there are no significant differences between the static β values of non-chiral and chiral amino acid zinc(Ⅱ) porphyrins. However, the βxyz component, which is quite important to quadratic macroscopic X^(2) susceptibility of chiral material, is increased significantly with the increase of side chain group of amino acids.     

The surface and materials science of tin oxide

The study of tin oxide is motivated by its applications as a solid state gas sensor material, oxidation catalyst, and transparent conductor. This review describes the physical and chemical properties that make tin oxide a suitable material for these purposes. The emphasis is on surface science studies of single crystal surfaces, but selected studies on powder and polycrystalline films are also incorporated in order to provide connecting points between surface science studies with the broader field of materials science of tin oxide. The key for understanding many aspects of SnO₂ surface properties is the dual valency of Sn. The dual valency facilitates a reversible transformation of the surface composition from stoichiometric surfaces with Sn⁴⁺ surface cations into a reduced surface with Sn²⁺ surface cations depending on the oxygen chemical potential of the system. Reduction of the surface modifies the surface electronic structure by formation of Sn 5s derived surface states that lie deep within the band gap and also cause a lowering of the work function. The gas sensing mechanism appears, however, only to be indirectly influenced by the surface composition of SnO₂. Critical for triggering a gas response are not the lattice oxygen concentration but chemisorbed (or ionosorbed) oxygen and other molecules with a net electric charge. Band bending induced by charged molecules cause the increase or decrease in surface conductivity responsible for the gas response signal. In most applications tin oxide is modified by additives to either increase the charge carrier concentration by donor atoms, or to increase the gas sensitivity or the catalytic activity by metal additives. Some of the basic concepts by which additives modify the gas sensing and catalytic properties of SnO₂ are discussed and the few surface science studies of doped SnO₂ are reviewed. Epitaxial SnO₂ films may facilitate the surface science studies of doped films in the future. To this end film growth on titania, alumina, and Pt(1 1 1) is reviewed. Thin films on alumina also make promising test systems for probing gas sensing behavior. Molecular adsorption and reaction studies on SnO₂ surfaces have been hampered by the challenges of preparing well-characterized surfaces. Nevertheless some experimental and theoretical studies have been performed and are reviewed. Of particular interest in these studies was the influence of the surface composition on its chemical properties. Finally, the variety of recently synthesized tin oxide nanoscopic materials is summarized.     

Synthesis of zwitterionic block copolymers via RAFT polymerization

A series of poly [2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMA)-sodium acrylate (SA)] diblock copolymers were synthesized using reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The polymerization exhibits controlled characters: well-controlled molecular weight, narrow molecular weight distribution, molecular weight increasing with polymerization time. The zwitterionic diblock copolymers show rich solution behaviors. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) indicated the formation of micelles and reverse micelles of copolymers is affected by net charge density of copolymers. Microcalorimetry studies showed that the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) increases with incorporation of hydrophilic segments in buffer.

Solid Phase Extraction and Simultaneous Spectrophotometric Determination of Trace Amounts of Copper and Iron Using Mixture of Ligands

 A novel sensitive and simple method for rapid and selective extraction, preconcentration and determination of iron (as its bathophenanthroline complex) and copper (as its neocuproine complex) using octadecyl silica cartridges and dual wavelength spectrophotometry is presented. The dual wavelength method (533 nm for the iron-bathophenanthroline and 454 nm for the copper-neocuproine as the analytical wavelength) is used to eliminate spectral interferences. Extraction efficiency and the influence of flow rates of sample solution and eluent, pH, amount of neocuproine, bathophenanthroline and hydroxylamine hydrochloride, type and least amount of eluent for elution of iron and copper complexes from cartridge, break-through volume and limit of detection are evaluated. The effects of various cationic and anionic interferences on percent recovery of iron and copper are also studied. Extraction efficiencies >95% are obtained by elution of cartridges with minimal amount of organic solvent. Iron and copper were determined in the range of 3–100 ng mL⁻¹. The limits of detection are 0.98 and 1.13 ng mL⁻¹ for iron and copper, respectively. The proposed method is applied successfully to the determination of both analytes in river, tap and well water samples. Author for correspondence.

VINYL MONOMERS BEARING CHROMOPHORE MOIETIES AND THEIR POLYMERS——Ⅹ.INITIATION AND PHOTOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF p-(N,N-DIMETHYLAMINO)STYRENE AND ITS POLYMERS*

A vinyl monomer having an electron-donating moiety, p-(N,N-dimethylamino)styrenc (DMAS),was synthesized. It was combined with benzoyl peroxide (BPO) to form a redox initiation system to initiatethe polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA). UV spectra measurements show that DMAS enters thePMMA chain as well. Both DMAS and its polymer P(DMAS) display strong fluorescence, and thefluorescence can be quenched by electron-deficient compounds such as methacrylonitrile, fumaronitrile andmethyl methacrylate etc. Moreover, DMAS can also form charge transfer complex (CTC) with strongelectron acceptors such as tetracyanoethylene (TCNE). The difference between the photochemical propertiesof DMAS and P(DMAS) were explained in terms of molecular structure change and polymer conformationeffect in solution. In addition, the CTC and exciplex formation of DMAS or P(DMAS) with C_(60) were alsostudied.
