Formation of Azulene-Embedded Nanographene: Naphthalene to Azulene Rearrangement During the Scholl Reaction

Incorporation of a non-hexagonal ring into a nanographene framework can lead to new electronic properties. During the attempted synthesis of naphthalene-bridged double [6]helicene and heptagon-containing nanographene by the Scholl reaction, an unexpected azulene-embedded nanographene and its triflyloxylated product were obtained, as confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis and 2D NMR spectroscopy. A 5/7/7/5 ring-fused substructure containing two formal azulene units is formed, but only one of them shows an azulene-like electronic structure. The formation of this unique structure is explained by arenium ion mediated 1,2-phenyl migration and a naphthalene to azulene rearrangement reaction according to an in-silico study. This report represents the first experimental example of the thermodynamically unfavorable naphthalene to azulene rearrangement and may lead to new azulene-based molecular materials.

CuCrAl和CuCrZr低温液相合成甲醇催化剂的研究

 用络合共沉淀法制备了CuCrAl和CuCrZr复合氧化物液相合成甲醇催化剂，其比表面分别达到119和116m2／g．在5．0～5．5MPa和383K条件下，分别用间歇式和流动式反应釜考察了催化剂的活性和稳定性．结果表明：CuCrAl和CuCrZr的活性均明显高于CuCr；CuCrAl的活性略高于CuCrZr，但甲酸甲酯（MF）的选择性明显低于CuCrZr；两者在12h内未见活性明显下降．甲醇钠在反应过程中部分转化为甲酸钠和NaOH．CuCrAl和CuCrZr有较高的氢解活性可抑制甲醇钠与MF生成甲酸钠，从而有较低的甲酸钠浓度．但是，Al2O3和ZrO2的酸性有利于甲醇脱水，引起甲醇钠水解生成NaOH．溶剂对CuCr基催化剂的活性和选择性有明显影响．对反应机理进行了讨论．     

Preparative SEC column packed with microporous particles prepared from cellulose

New microporous particles with large pore size (mean pore diameter of 820 nm) are successfully prepared from a mixture of cellulose and konjac glucomannan (RC-KGM3) in 1.5 M NaOH-0.65 M thiourea aqueous solution by coagulating with 5 weight percentage (wt%) CaCl(2), and then 2 wt% HCl aqueous solution. A preparative size-exclusion chromatographic (SEC) column packed with the gel particles is used for the fractionation of a dextran in water. The exclusion limit and fractionation range of the stationary phase are molecular masses of 125 yen 104 g/mol and 5.6 yen 104 to 125 yen 104 g/mol, respectively. The dextran [dextran 50, weight-average molecular mass (M(w)) = 40.1 yen 104 g/mol, polydispersity index (d) = 3.5] is fractionated by the preparative SEC column to obtain six fractions, and four of them are refractionated twice by the same preparative SEC column. The refractionated samples F-3-3 and F-4-3 are characterized by analytical SEC combined with laser light scattering and light scattering to obtain M(w) of 91.8 and 61.9 yen 104 g/mol, as well as d of 1.3 and 1.4, respectively. The results indicate that the fractions having narrow molecular mass distribution are satisfactorily prepared with the SEC column. The described SEC column can be successfully used to fractionate polymers in aqueous solution.     

Stochastic resonance is applied to quantitative analysis for weak chromatographic signal of glyburide in plasma

Based on the theory of stochastic resonance, a new method carried on the quantitive analysis to weak chromatographic signal of glyburide in plasma, which was embedded in the noise background and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of HPLC-UV is enhanced remarkably. This method enhances the quantification limit to 1 ng ml⁻¹, which is the same as HPLC-MS, and makes it possible to detect the weak signal accurately by HPLC-UV, which was not suitable before. The results showed good recovery and linear range from 1 to 50 ng ml⁻¹ of glyburide in plasma and the method can be used for quantitative analysis of glyburide.     

An $$H^1$$-Galerkin mixed finite element method for time fractional reaction–diffusion equation

In this article, an \(H^1\)-Galerkin mixed finite element (MFE) method for solving time fractional reaction–diffusion equation is presented. The optimal time convergence order \(O(\varDelta t^{2-\alpha })\) and the optimal spatial rate of convergence in \(H^1\) and \(L^2\)-norms for variable \(u\) and its gradient \(\sigma \) are derived. Moreover, some numerical results are shown to support our theoretical analysis.     

Lensless diffractive imaging using tabletop coherent high-harmonic soft-X-ray beams

We present the first experimental demonstration of lensless diffractive imaging using coherent soft x rays generated by a tabletop soft-x-ray source. A 29 nm high harmonic beam illuminates an object, and the subsequent diffraction is collected on an x-ray CCD camera. High dynamic range diffraction patterns are obtained by taking multiple exposures while blocking small-angle diffraction using beam blocks of varying size. These patterns reconstruct to images with 214 nm resolution. This work demonstrates a practical tabletop lensless microscope that promises to find applications in materials science, nanoscience, and biology.
