A halide‐free pyridinium‐substituted η3‐cycloheptatrienide–Pd complex

We report the synthesis and characterization of a novel 4‐(dimethylamino)pyridinium‐substituted η³‐cycloheptatrienide–Pd complex which is free of halide ligands. Diacetonitrile{η³‐[4‐(dimethylamino)pyridinium‐1‐yl]cycloheptatrienido}palladium(II) bis(tetrafluoroborate), [Pd(C₂H₃N)₂(C₁₄H₁₆N₂)](BF₄)₂, was prepared by the exchange of two bromide ligands for noncoordinating anions, which results in the empty coordination sites being occupied by acetonitrile ligands. As described previously, exchange of only one bromide leads to a dimeric complex, di‐μ‐bromido‐bis({η³‐[4‐(dimethylamino)pyridinium‐1‐yl]cycloheptatrienido}palladium(II)) bis(tetrafluoroborate) acetonitrile disolvate, [Pd₂Br₂(C₁₄H₁₆N₂)₂](BF₄)₂·2CH₃CN, with bridging bromide ligands, and the crystal structure of this compound is also reported here. The structures of the cycloheptatrienide ligands of both complexes are analogous to the dibromide derivative, showing the allyl bond in the β‐position with respect to the pyridinium substituent. This indicates that, unlike a previous interpretation, the main reason for the formation of the β‐isomer cannot be internal hydrogen bonding between the cationic substituents and bromide ligands.     

Mechanochemical synthesis of dodecyl sulfate anion (DS−) intercalated Cu-Al layered double hydroxide

Dodecyl sulfate anion (DS⁻) was successfully intercalated into the gallery space of Cu-Al layered double hydroxides (LDH) by a non-heating mechanochemical route, in which basic cupric carbonate (Cu₂(OH)₂CO₃) and aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)₃) were first dry ground and then agitated in SDS solution under ambient environment. The organics modified Cu-Al LDH showed good adsorption ability toward 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-D). The prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), CHS elemental analysis and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The LDH precursor prepared by ball-milling could directly react with SDS molecules forming a pure phase of DS⁻ pillared Cu-Al LDH, which was not observed with the LDH product through the ion-exchange of DS⁻ at room temperature. The process introduced here may be applied to manufacture other types of organic modified composites for pollutants removal and other applications.     

Comb‐shaped guanidinium functionalized poly(ether sulfone)s for anion exchange membranes: Effects of the spacer types and lengths

A series of poly(ether sulfone)‐based anion exchange membranes (AEMs), tethering with guanidinium side chains with different spacers, were synthesized via azide‐alkyne cycloaddition, deprotection, and the subsequent ion exchange reactions. The designed polymer structures were verified by the ¹H NMR spectra. Because of the appropriate water uptake and formation of interconnected ionic clusters, the GPES‐3C with propyl spacer showed higher conductivity than the GPES‐1C and GPES‐9C, with methylene and nonyl spacers, respectively. Comparatively, the GPES‐EO AEM with two ethylene oxide (EO) spacers exhibited even higher conductivity, these can be interpreted by interconnectivity of ionic channels and hydrophilicity nature of the EO spacer. Additionally, although the GPES membranes displayed sufficient thermal stability, the chemical stability of as‐prepared materials needs to be much improved for fuel cell applications. Overall, these results demonstrated that the properties of “pendent‐type” AEM can be tuned facilely by the spacer types and lengths. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym.

Catalytic action of Mn‐superoxide dismutase in scavenging superoxide radical anion by double hydrogen abstraction from dihydrolipoic acid: A theoretical study

The mechanism of scavenging superoxide radical anion ( ) by dihydrolipoic acid (diLA) in absence and presence of the enzyme Manganese‐superoxide dismutase (Mn‐SOD) has been investigated using density functional theory. Mn‐SOD was modelled by a complex of a manganese cation (Mn²⁺) bonded to three similar molecules having a histidine ring each and a water molecule. It has been shown that the scavenging mechanism involves double hydrogen abstraction by from different pairs of neighboring sites of diLA. It has been found that diLA alone cannot scavenge superoxide radical anions efficiently as the barrier energies involved in the reactions are very high. However, in presence of Mn‐SOD, owing to its catalytic action, the corresponding reactions become barrierless due to which superoxide radical anions would be scavenged highly efficiently. H₂O₂ formed from superoxide radical anion due to double hydrogen abstraction from diLA is scavenged by diLA alone barrierlessly without involving Mn‐SOD or any other catalyst.     

A study of enhanced ion formation from metal‐semiconductor complexes in atmospheric pressure laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry

The study of the key parameters impacted surface‐assisted laser desorption/ionization‐mass spectrometry is of broad interest. In previous studies, it has been shown that surface‐assisted laser desorption/ionization‐mass spectrometry is a complex process depending on multiple factors. In the presented study, we showed that neither porosity, light absorbance nor surface hydrophobicity alone influence the enhancement phenomena observed from the hybrid metal‐semiconductor complexes versus individual targets, but small changes in the analyte attaching to the target significantly affect laser desorption ionization‐efficiency. By means of Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy, it was revealed that the formation of an amorphous analyte layer after drying on a solid substrate was essential for the enhanced laser desorption ionization‐signal observed from the hybrid metal‐semiconductor targets, and the crystallization properties of the analyte appeared as a function of the substrate. Obtained results were used for the screening of regular and lactose‐free milk samples through the hybrid metal‐semiconductor target. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The Trifluoromethyl Anion: Evidence for [K(crypt‐222)]+

[K(crypt‐222)]⁺ ( 1 ) and [K(crypt‐222)]⁺ ( 3 ) are isostructural, displaying nearly identical unit cell parameters. The two structures are similar to the extent that the previously reported [K(crypt‐222)]⁺ model can be refined against the new data for [K(crypt‐222)]⁺ , with extra electron density being observed from the fourth fluorine atom of the . In agreement with experimental observations, theoretical calculations suggest that deprotonated [K(crypt‐222)]⁺ is highly unstable even at as low as 195 K. The previously considered 1:1 CHF ₃ clathrate of deprotonated [K(crypt‐222)]⁺ (crystallographically indistinguishable from 1 ) is ruled out on the basis of all available data.     

Ferrocenyl Ionic Compounds Containing [Fe(CN)6]3– Anions: Synthesis,Characterization, and Catalytic Effects during Combustion

Twenty‐eight novel ferrocenyl ionic compounds, composed of mononuclear 1‐ferrocenylmethylalkyldimethylammoniums, 1‐ferrocenylmethyl‐3‐alkylimidazoliums, or their dinuclear analogs and [Fe(CN)₆]^3– anion, were designed and synthesized to tackle significant volatility and migration tendency of ferrocene‐based burning rate catalysts (BRCs) used currently in the composite solid propellants. The new compounds were characterized by UV/Vis, FT‐IR, and elementary analysis. The crystal structures of compounds 2· 5H₂O and 3· CH₂Cl₂ · 4H₂O verified the successful preparation of the desired ionic compounds. The TG tests at 70 °C for 24 h revealed that the new compounds exhibit lower volatility than catocene. The cyclic‐voltammetry results suggested that new compounds are quasi‐reversible or irreversible redox systems. TheTG/DSC analyses exhibited that the compounds are of highly thermal stability. Their catalytic effects on the thermal degradation of ammonium perchlorate (AP), 1,3,5‐trinitro‐1,3,5‐triazacyclohexane (RDX), and 1,3,5,7‐tetranitro‐1,3,5,7‐tetrazacyclooctane (HMX) were investigated. The results showed that most of the compounds exert great effects on the thermal degradation of AP and RDX during combustion. 11 and 2 are comparable to catocene in the thermal decomposition of AP and RDX, respectively, and can therefore be used as alternatives of catocene in a composite solid propellant. Some new compounds are unexpectedly active in promoting the thermal disintegration of HMX.     

Efficient Fe‐Co‐N‐C Electrocatalyst Towards Oxygen Reduction Derived from a Cationic CoII‐based Metal–Organic Framework Modified by Anion‐Exchange with Potassium Ferricyanide

Fe‐Co‐N‐C electrocatalysts have proven superior to their counterparts (e.g. Fe‐N‐C or Co‐N‐C) for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Herein, we report on a unique strategy to prepare Fe‐Co‐N‐C?x (x refers to the pyrolysis temperature) electrocatalysts which involves anion‐exchange of [Fe(CN)₆]^3? into a cationic Co^II‐based metal‐organic framework precursor prior to heat treatment. Fe‐Co‐N‐C‐900 exhibits an optimal ORR catalytic performance in an alkaline electrolyte with an onset potential (E_onset: 0.97 V) and half‐wave potential (E_1/2: 0.86 V) comparable to that of commercial Pt/C (E_onset=1.02 V; E_1/2=0.88 V), which outperforms the corresponding Co‐N‐C‐900 sample (E_onset=0.92 V; E_1/2=0.84 V) derived from the same MOF precursor without anion‐exchange modification. This is the first example of Fe‐Co‐N‐C electrocatalysts fabricated from a cationic Co^II‐based MOF precursor that dopes the Fe element via anion‐exchange, and our current work provides a new entrance towards MOF‐derived transition‐metal (e.g. Fe or Co) and nitrogen‐codoped carbon electrocatalysts with excellent ORR activity.
