Sigmatropic Rearrangements in Phosphorylated 2-Azaallylic Systems

Abstract

Allylic and heteroallylic compounds are classical objects of organic chemistry and can serve as models in the investigation of various theoretical problems. The anions and 1,3-dipoles generated from azaallylic derivatives are widely used in the synthesis of cyclic and acyclic nitrogen-containing compounds.     

Li-S电池硫正极性能衰减机理分析及研究现状概述

由于汽车工业的持续发展, 对高能量密度二次电池的需求逐步增加, 锂硫电池开始走进人们的视野. 锂硫电池的理论比能量高达2600 Wh/kg, 而单质硫的理论比容量达1680 mAh/g. 同时, 硫的储量丰富, 廉价, 并且环境友好. 虽然可充电锂硫电池相比于传统锂离子电池有诸多优势, 但目前其可实现的实际比容量远低于理论比容量, 循环寿命也较短等弊端限制了其大规模应用. 作者从Li-S电池正极的工作原理出发, 对硫正极容量损失及衰减机理做了深刻的解析, 并结合本实验室的工作归纳总结了导致硫正极容量衰减的主要因素. 针对硫正极容量衰减因素, 从碳导电结构、聚合物包覆以及纳米金属氧化物添加剂等方面, 对近年来提高硫正极性能的主要研究方向及最新研究进展进行了综述, 并对其中存在的问题进行分析, 最后对提高Li-S电池的整体性能提出展望.

Various shaped-ZnO nanocrystals via low temperature synthetic methods: Surfactant and pH dependence

ZnO nanocrystals, rod-, carnation-, and flower-like structures, have been synthesized in a high yield through low-temperature synthetic methods. Well-aligned ZnO nanorods having hexagonal wurtzite structure were grown on the ZnO thin films assembled by a spin-coating method. The morphologies of ZnO seed films are affected by pHs of sol–gel solutions, resulting smaller sizes and homogeneous roughness at higher pHs and higher number of spin-coating times. The carnation-like structures, average size of about 2–3 μm, were assembled by tens of uniform ZnO nanosheet petals of ∼50 nm in thickness when a different volume ratio of the precursory solution was used. ZnO nanocrystals on the facets of the compact ZnO nanorods have grown to linear nanorods having an average diameter of ∼500 nm and length of ∼2 μm. Furthermore, a noticeable difference in the growth of ZnO nanocrystals in the presence of various surfactants, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinylsulphonic acid, and polyethyleneimine, has been observed and discussed.     

Cleaved Iron Oxide Nanoparticles as T2 Contrast Agents for Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Iron oxide nanoparticles as contrast agents are reported to effectively improve magnetic resonance imaging of tissues and cells. In this work, cleaved iron oxide nanoparticles (CIONPs) were generated from hydrophobic FeO nanoparticles (HIONPs) by coating their surfaces with PEG‐phospholipids, oxidizing them under water, and slowly removing the residual FeO phase in phthalate buffer. The synthesized CIONPs showed good r₂ values of up to 258 s^?1 mM ^?1. Thus, the CIONPs can be employed as vectors for drug delivery due to their unique structure with an empty inner space, which enables their use in a wide range of applications.     

Mechanistic Dichotomy in the Asymmetric Allylation of Aldehydes with Allyltrichlorosilanes Catalyzed by Chiral Pyridine N‐Oxides

Detailed kinetic and computational investigation of the enantio‐ and diastereoselective allylation of aldehydes 1 with allyltrichlorosilanes 5 , employing the pyridine N‐oxides METHOX ( 9 ) and QUINOX ( 10 ) as chiral organocatalysts, indicate that the reaction can proceed through a dissociative (cationic) or associative (neutral) mechanism: METHOX apparently favors a pentacoordinate cationic transition state, while the less sterically demanding QUINOX is likely to operate via a hexacoordinate neutral complex. In both pathways, only one molecule of the catalyst is involved in the rate‐ and selectivity‐determining step, which is supported by both experimental and computational data.
