Hydrothermal Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Thermal Stability of [Ni(phen)3]·(C8H12O4)·(H2O)14

One novel complex [Ni(phen)3]·(C8H12O4)·(H2O)14 with hexane dicarboxylic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline has been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized. Crystal data: monoclinic, space group C2/c, a = 2.3475(5), b = 1.2208(2), c = 1.9499(4) nm, β = 114.682(3)o, V = 5.0778(16) nm3, Dc = 1.339 g/cm3, Z = 4, μ(MoKα) = 0.458 mm-1, F(000) = 2168, GOOF = 1.014, R = 0.0401 and wR = 0.0961. The nickel(Ⅱ) center in the title complex is coordinated with six nitrogen atoms of three 1,10-phenanthroline molecules, giving a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. However, the nickel(Ⅱ) ion does not coordinate to the hexane dicarboxylic acid. The complex molecules form a 3D structure through hydrogen bonds. TG analysis shows that the title complex is stable below 240.0 ℃.     

Hydrated Clay for Catalyst Removal in Copper Mediated Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization

A simple method has been described to remove catalyst from the copper mediated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of benzyl methacrylate and methyl methacrylate in anisole at 25 °C using hydrated natural clay (sodium montmorillonite, Na‐clay). The method consists of (1) addition of hydrated clay (Cu^I/clay ≈ 5 wt.‐%) either during or after the polymerization, (2) oxidation of catalyst complex by exposing the terminated reaction mixture in air, and (3) filtration to obtain catalyst free polymer solution. A strong coordination of CuBr‐ligand complex onto hydrated clay (10 wt.‐% < H₂O/clay < 30 wt.‐%) upon oxidation resulted in polymers with no or insignificant residual catalyst (<1.74 ppm), as determined by UV‐vis and atomic absorption spectroscopy. The recovered clay exhibited expanded intercalary layers and absence of polymer within it.

     

Synthesis and analysis of phosphorylated nonapeptide adducts by LC/Q-TOF MS

A new method for the synthesis of organophosphorylated adducts of the nonapeptide FGESAGAAS is presented. The adducts were obtained by using sarin (GB) or soman (GD) as the organophosphorylating reagents and cesium carbonate as the acid scavenger. Greater than 50% of the peptide was modified on serine 4. MS/MS spectra acquired on an Agilent 6520 quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometer demonstrated that serine 4, but not serine 9 in the nonapeptide, was modified. The adducts included the characteristic isopropyl group of sarin and the pinacolyl group of soman, indicating that aging had not occurred. It was concluded that the new synthetic method yielded sarin and soman-modified peptides that could be used as references when analyzing human exposure to these nerve agents.     

Synthesis, Characterization and Crystal Structure of （＋）-N-[（3S）-3-（4- fluoroph enyl）heptan oyl] bornan e-10,2-s ultam

The chiral molecule (+)-N-[(3S)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)heptanoyl]bornane-10,2-sultam (C23H32FNO3S, Mr = 421.56), a fluorine-containing derivative of camphorsultam, was conveniently obtained and crystallized in the orthorhombic space group P212121 with a = 7.9044(11), b = 11.6680(16), c = 24.899(3) , V = 2296.4(5) 3, Z = 4, Dc = 1.219 Mg/m3, λ = 0.71073 , μ(MoKα) = 0.172 mm-1 and F(000) = 904. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the six-membered ring of sultam shows a boat conformation (Fig. 1). The planes constructed by ((C6), (C7), (C8), (C9)) and ((C4), (C5), (C6), (C9)) form a dihedral angle of 70.3(3)°. The plane of (C1)-(C2)-(C3) forms dihedral angles to the aforementioned planes of 85.9(4) and 89.5(4)°, respectively. The molecules are linked via C-H···O/F interactions.

A Three‐Step Method for the Deposition of Large Cuboids of Organic–Inorganic Perovskite and Application in Solar Cells

A three‐step method for the deposition of CH₃NH₃PbI₃ perovskite films with a high crystalline structure and large cuboid overlayer morphology is reported. The method includes PbI₂ deposition, which is followed by dipping into a solution of C₄H₉NH₃I (BAI) and (BA)₂PbI₄ perovskite formation. In the final step, the poorly thermodynamically stable (BA)₂PbI₄ phase converts into the more stable CH₃NH₃PbI₃ perovskite by dipping into a solution of CH₃NH₃I. The final product is characterized by XRD, SEM, UV/Vis, and photoluminescence analysis methods. The experimental results indicate that the prepared perovskite has cuboids with high crystallinity and large sizes (up to 1 μm), as confirmed by XRD and SEM data. Photovoltaic investigations show that the three‐step method results in higher solar cell efficiency (15 % enhancement in efficiency) with a better reproducibility than the conventional two‐step deposition method.     

Total Synthesis and Structural Reassignment of Aspergillomarasmine A

The increase and spread of Gram‐negative bacteria that resistant are to almost all currently available β‐lactam antibiotics is a major global health problem. The primary cause for drug resistance is the acquisition of metallo‐β‐lactamases such as metallo‐β‐lactamase‐1 (NDM‐1). The fungal natural product aspergillomarasmine A (AMA), a fungal natural product, is an inhibitor of NDM‐1 and has shown promising in vivo therapeutic potential in a mouse model infected with NDM‐1‐expressing Gram‐negative bacteria. The first total synthesis and stereochemical configuration reassignment of aspergillomarasmine A is reported. The synthesis highlights a flexible route and an effective strategy to achieve the required oxidation state at a late stage. This modular route is amenable to the efficient preparation of analogues for the development of metallo‐β‐lactamase inhibitors to potentiate β‐lactam antibiotics.     

Bicontinuous Nanoporous Frameworks: Caged Longevity for Enzymes

The preparation of bicontinuous nanoporous covalent frameworks, which are promising for caging active enzymes, is demonstrated. The frameworks have three‐ dimensionally continuous, hydrophilic pores with widths varying between 5 and 30 nm. Enzymes were infiltrated into the bicontinuous pore by applying a pressured enzyme solution. The new materials and methods allowed the amount of caged proteins to be controlled precisely. The resulting enzyme‐loaded framework films could be recycled many times with nearly no loss of catalytic activity. Entropic trapping of proteins by a bicontinuous pore with the right size distribution is an unprecedented strategy toward facile in vitro utilization of biocatalysts.
