Synthesis and properties of monoimines of α-diketones, derivatives of 3-imidazoline nitroxides

The reaction of 4-(2R-1-chloro-2-oxoethylidene)-substituted imidazolidine-1-oxyl with sodium azide gives monoimines of -diketones, derivatives of 3-imidazoline nitroxides. Reactions of these products with nitrogen binucleophiles were used to prepare various heterocyclic compounds containing an imidazoline nitroxide moiety.     

Chemistry of naphthazarin derivatives. 8. Determination of structures of substituted 2-hydroxy-6(7)-methoxynaphthazarins and 7(8)-hydroxypyranonaphthazarins by IR spectroscopy

A set of substituted 2-hydroxy-6(7)-methoxynaphthazarins and 7(8)-hydroxypyranonaphthazarins were synthesized. The IR spectra of 2-hydroxy-6-methoxynaphthazarins and 7-hydroxypyranonaphthazarins, on the one hand, and of 2-hydroxy-7-methoxynaphthazarins and 8-hydroxypyranonaphthazarins, on the other hand, have the characteristic nonoverlapping intervals of stretching vibration frequencies of the -hydroxy groups. These regularities confirm the structures of cristazarin and 6-methylcristazarin, which are metabolites of lichen Cladonia cristatella.     

Phosphine σ-sydnonyl complexes of Ni,Pd, and Pt

3-R"-4-Bromosydnones 1 (R" = Me) and 2 (R" = Ph) react with complexes Ì(PR₃)_n (M = Ni, Pd, Pt) to form mononuclear phosphine -sydnonyl d⁸-complexes of trans-configuration MBr(3-R"-sydnon-4-yl)(PR₃)₂: 3, 4 (Ì = Ni, R" = Ph); 5 (M = Pd, R" = Me); 6a (M = Pd, R" = Ph); 7 (M = Pt, R" = Ph). In the reaction of bromosydnone 2 with Pd(PPh₃)₄, the cis-complex PdBr(3-Ph-sydnon-4-yl)(PPh₃)₂ (6b) is formed initially; 6b rearranges in solution to give trans-complex 6a. On heating in THF, complex 6a is converted into the binuclear [PdBr(3-phenylsydnon-4-yl)(PPh₃)]₂ complex (8). The reaction of 4-chloromercurio-3-phenylsydnone (10) with Ni(PEt₃)₄, Pd(PPh₃)₄, and Pt(PPh₃)₄ gives mononuclear NiCl(3-phenylsydnon-4-yl)(PEt₃)₂ complex (11), binuclear [PdCl(3-phenylsydnon-4-yl) (PPh₃)]₂ complex (14), and cis- and trans-bimetallic PtCl(3-phenylsydnon-4-ylmercurio)(PPh₃)₂ complexes 15a and 15b, respectively. UV irradiation of 15a and 15b in a benzene solution induces redox demercuration to yield the PtCl(3-phenylsydnon-4-ylcarbonyl)(PPh₃)₂ complex (16). In carbonylation of complexes 3, 6, and 7, CO insertion into the M--C bond occurred to form the corresponding acyl derivatives MBr(3-phenylsydnon-4-ylcarbonyl)(PR₃)₂ (17--19).     

PtnCum(n+m=4)对甲醇第一步脱氢催化性能的理论研究

采用密度泛函理论（DFT）中的B3PW91/LANL2DZ（ECP）方法在Gaussian09程序包中计算了二元合金催化剂Pt_nCu_m（n+m=4）催化甲醇第一步脱氢反应的相关几何参数,主要研究了Pt_nCu_m（n+m=4）在甲醇分子表面的吸附和脱氢反应的机理。通过比较E_ads和脱氢能垒等发现,Pt_nCu_m（n+m=4）催化甲醇脱氢的最优反应路径为甲醇分子中的甲基氢吸附在该二元金属催化剂Pt位点上导致的C-H断裂。并对比了Pt_nCu_m（n+m=4）中Pt与Cu比例对甲醇催化脱氢活性的影响,结果表明,当二元合金催化剂中Pt与Cu的比例为1：1时,催化活性最高。

A comprehensive chemoselective and enantioselective 2D-HPLC set-up for fast enantiomer analysis of a multicomponent mixture of derivatized amino acids

A feasibility study on the fast enantioselective two-dimensional HPLC separation of racemic amino acid derivatives is presented. The method involves the on-line coupling of a narrow-bore C18 RP column in the first dimension to a short enantioselective column based on nonporous 1.5 μm particles modified with quinidine carbamate as chiral selector in the second dimension. Conceptually, the system was designed to enable both time-controlled repeated transfer of fractions of the eluate and detector-controlled transfer of selected fractions from column 1 to column 2. To avoid volume overloading of the second chiral column, a narrow-bore reversed phase column was installed in the first dimension. Due to the fast (less than 1.5 minutes) enantiomer separation that occurs in the second dimension, the overall analysis time for the two-dimensional separation of a mixture of nine racemic 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl amino acids was optimized at 16 minutes.     

Green and red upconversion luminescence in CeO2:Er powders produced by 785 nm laser

CeO₂:Er³⁺ powders were prepared by Pechini type sol-gel method. The structural properties of CeO₂:Er³⁺ were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra. The results show that CeO₂:Er³⁺ has low phonon cutoff energy, which indicate that CeO₂:Er³⁺ may have high luminescent efficiency. The green and red upconverted luminescence spectra of Er³⁺ were investigated under excitation into the ⁴I_9/2 level by 785 nm laser. The upconversion mechanisms were studied in detail through laser power dependence and Er³⁺ ions concentration dependence of upconverted emissions, and results show that excited state absorption and energy transfer process are the possible mechanisms for the upconversion. The upconversion properties indicate that CeO₂:Er³⁺ may be used in upconversion phosphors.     

Atom-sensitive textiles as visual indicators for plasma post-discharges

The efficiency of surface treatments by plasma and post-discharge plasma processes is greatly dependent on the density of active species, such as neutral atoms in post-discharges. Therefore, many diagnostics exist to detect the presence and measure the concentrations of these species, but they often require expensive instrumentation and highly qualified personnel. These conditions are not often met when the process is industrially used and it becomes important to imagine simple indicators allowing to validate that the correct operating conditions are reached. In the present paper, we present the first results on the investigation of an inexpensive and easy to use visual indicator able to quantify the atomic species density in nitrogen post-discharge plasma processes. It is based on the differential recombination coefficients of N-atoms on metallic/textile fibres which are intrinsically bonded together in a fabric matrix which serves as support for a thermochromic ink. The specific heating of the metallic fibres by N-atom recombination heats the whole of the fabric, leading to a visible colour change of the thermochromic ink, and therefore, of the indicator. Through modelling, it was possible to estimate that the inclusion of copper fibres to a pure cotton matrix leads to a 60% increase of the global N-atom recombination coefficient of the fabric, sufficient enough to provide a clearly visible colour change.     

Fisher information metric and Poisson kernels

A complete Riemannian manifold X with negative curvature satisfying −b²?KX?−a²<0 for some constants a,b, is naturally mapped in the space of probability measures on the ideal boundary ∂X by assigning the Poisson kernels. We show that this map is embedding and the pull-back metric of the Fisher information metric by this embedding coincides with the original metric of X up to constant provided X is a rank one symmetric space of non-compact type. Furthermore, we give a geometric meaning of the embedding.
