医用聚氯乙烯膜的等离子体表面改性

用两种不同气氛的辉光放电等离子体工艺对医用软质聚氯乙烯（ＰＶＣ）膜进行了表面改性研究。结果表明，聚合性气氛的等离子体改性效果明显优于非聚合性气氛。平整致密的聚合膜对ＰＶＣ增塑剂——邻苯二甲酸二辛酯的迁移和扩散起了阻挡作用，也使膜表面亲水性和表面张力极性成份增大，液固相界面张力减小，生物相容性得以改善。     

Easy α- to β-migration of an enol moiety on a pyrrole ring

Functionalized pyrrolic enols, 2-(2,2-dicyano-1-hydroxyethenyl)-1-methylpyrroles, synthesized from 2-ethenylpyrroles by a nucleophilic SEt-OH exchange, upon heating (75-142 °C) are readily rearranged to their 3-isomers in near to quantitative yield. The inter or intramolecular auto-protonation of a pyrrole ring by the acidic enol hydroxyl to form a mesomeric pyrrolium cation or zwitterion is suggested to be a key step in the rearrangement.     

Reaction of η5-cyclopentadienylbis(triphenylphosphine)cobalt(I) with alkadiynes. Preparation and reactions of bicyclic cobalt metallocycles and a stable trimethylsilyl-substituted mono-complexed alkadiyne. Comments on the mechanism of cobalt-catalyzed alkyne cooligomerization

Reactions of η⁵-cyclopentadienylbis(triphenylphosphine)cobalt(I) (5) with several 2,n-alkadiynes (2) were investigated. Each of these reactions leads initially to a material in which one of the acetylene functional groups is π-coordinated to cobalt; this complex then undergoes conversion to a metallocycle. In cases where the two acetylene functions are connected by three- and four-carbon bridges (2b, 2c), metallocycles formed by intramolecular reaction of two acetylene functions in the same molecule may be isolated. In cases where the acetylene functions are joined by larger or smaller bridges, the reactions are more complex, and both inter- and intramolecular metallocycles are formed. Reactions of 5 with 1,8-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,7-octadiyne (16) gives an isolable crystalline mono-acetylene complex (17), this material is stable in the solid state but undergoes conversion to metallocycle (18) in benzene solution. The relationship of these results to the mechanism of the CpCo(CO)₂-catalyzed benzocycloalkene synthesis is discussed; it is suggested that intramolecular metallocycles are intermediates in reactions leading to benzocyclopentanes and -cyclohexenes, but intermolecular metallocycles are probably involved in reactions leading to benzocyclobutenes.     

Spectrophotometric determination of phosphate by extraction of reduced molybdoantimonylphosphoric acid with acetophenone-chloroform

A 90% ($\text{v}\text{v}$) mixture of acetophenone-chloroform is an effective extractant for reduced molybdoantimonylphosphoric acid. The extraction is quantitative over the acidity range of 0.04 to 4.8 N sulfuric acid. The mixed solvent extractant is virtually immiscible with water and can be used at aqueous/organic volume ratios from 1:1 to 40:1 with no loss of solvent or decrease in % extraction. Phosphate is easily determined from 5 to 1000 ppb. No interference from silicate was experienced.     

Multiple factor analysis in environmental chemistry

In environmental chemistry studies, it may be necessary to analyze data sets constituted by different blocks of variables, possibly of different types, measured on the same samples. Multiple factor analysis (MFA) is presented as a tool for exploring such data. The most important features of MFA are shown on a real environmental data set, consisting of two blocks of data, namely heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, measured for sediment samples. They are discussed and compared to principal component analysis (PCA). The usefulness of the weighting scheme used in MFA as a preprocessing step for other chemometric methods, such as clustering, is also highlighted.     

A case study in conformation design: learning by doing

Efforts are described to design simple, fully flexible but conformationally preorganised omega-hydroxy-nonanoic acids that could serve as the conformation controlling unit in analogues of the potent protein-kinase C activator aplysiatoxin. Such analogues are macrodilactones incorporating the designed omega-hydroxy-nonanoic acid and 3,4-dihydroxy-pentanoic acid, which contains the pharmacophoric groups. The design process (replacement of CH(2) groups by an oxygen atom, annelation of a six-membered ring and placement of alkyl substituents) of the omega-hydroxy-nonanoic acids was monitored by force-field calculations. In the end of this process simple analogues of aplysiatoxin are proposed in which the proper disposition of the pharmacophoric groups is secured by a conformationally flexible but preorganised template structure as part of the macrodilactone ring.     

Selectivities in 1,2,3-triazolide displacements of halides and additions to alkynes

4,5-Dicarbomethoxy-1,2,3-triazolide or 4-phenyl-1,2,3-triazolide displace chloride from ethyl chloroacetate or β-chloropropionate to give both 1-N and 2-N alkylated products. Our highest 2-N to 1-N selectivity was ca 5/1 and was found with the base triethylamine in DMF. The same triazolides and others add to alkynes, e.g. ethyl propiolate, methyl acetylenedicarboxylate, phenylpropiolaldehyde, ethyl phenylpropiolate, etc, to give Michael adducts at the 2-N position exclusively. Here the usual preference holds, i.e., the anti adduct is favored, but anti to syn isomerization usually sets in. On the basis of the available data for nucleophilic substitutions and additions, a limited directioselectivity pattern emerges for H-1,2,3-triazoles (T) and their anions (T^?): neutral T almost invariably leads with 1-N; T^t-- usually adds to unsaturates at 2-N; unsubstituted, 4-substituted and 4,5-disubstituted T^? attack organic halides at both 1-N and 2-N. Compared to phenyl, 2-triazolyl exerts a greater deshielding effect on proton chemical shifts; these and other patterns in the PMR spectra of the Michael adducts are discussed. CNDO calculations indicate that the 1-H is more stable than the 2-H-1,2,3-triazole and that in both neutral triazole and in triazolide, the 1-nitrogen position should lead nucleophilic attacks-this directioselectivity prediction is only partly (and probably fortuitously) correct.     

Preparative uv-laser photochemistry of the azoalkane spiro(2,3-diazabicyclo [2.2.1]hept-2-ene-7′,1-cyclopropane): Trapping of the 1,4-Diradical 2-(3-Cyclopentenyl) ethyl by Molecular Oxygen

Photo-extrusion of nitrogen from the azoalkane 1 in the presence of molecular oxygen gave besides the hydrocarbons 3 and 5, the endoperoxide 10 and hydroperoxide 11, the former via trapping of the 1,4-diradical 4 by triplet oxygen, the latter by ene-reaction-6f hydrocarbon 5 with singlet oxygen.     

A 19F NMR study of the transmission of electronic effects in triarylantimony and triarylbismuth compounds. A comparison with the nitrogen- and carbon-containing analogues

A ¹⁹F NMR study of the transmission of electronic effects has been made for the systems Ar₂EC₆H₄F-4 (E = Sb, Bi, CH, N). The fluorine chemical shifts obtained are correlated with the polar constants (Σσ^o and Σσ) of the substituents, suggesting that electronic effects are transmitted through the SbC_ar, BiC_ar and CC_ar bonds predominantly by an inductive mechanism, whereas the transmission through the NC_ar bonds is contributed to significantly by classical resonance effects due to competitive conjugation of the lone pair with the aromatic rings, and the substituents therein. A dual parameter correlation of the fluorine chemical shifts with the inductive (σ_I) and resonance (σ^o_R and σ_R) parameters of the substituents in the aromatic rings has led to similar conclusions. The inductive transmission through the bridging Sb and Bi atoms has been assigned to the absence of conjugation of lone pair and vacant d-orbitals of the metals with π-electron systems of the aromatic rings. On the basis of the values of the ? coefficients for the correlation equations obtained it has been established that the transmitting ability of the BiC_ar bonds is close to that of the C_alC_ar bonds and considerably lower than the transmitting ability of the NC_ar bonds.     

Synthesis of reduced complex oxides of molybdenum by fused salt electrolysis

Fused salt electrolysis has been used to prepare a number of reduced oxides of molybdenum with lanthanum, neodymium, and yttrium in single crystal or oriented polycrystalline form. The average valence of molybdenum in the various compounds ranged from 5.67 to 3.50. Previously unreported compounds include La₅Mo₄O₁₆ (triclinica = 5.64 Å,b = 20.7 0Å,c = 5.64 Å, α = 86.55°, β = 90.0°, γ = 93.45°); La₂Mo₂O₇ (orthorhombic,a = 12.19 Å,b = 6.05 Å,c = 3.87 Å); LaMo₂O₅ (hexagonal,a = 8.378 Å,c = 19.26 Å). In addition, single crystal specimens have been prepared of Y₂MoO₅,Ln₅Mo₃O₁₆(Ln =La, Nd) and metal atom cluster compounds of theA₂Mo₃O₈ type (A = Mg, Co, Ni, Zn).
