Ethylene polymerization by chromium complexes with phosphorous‐bridged bisphenoxy ligand

Chromium catalysts combined with phosphorous‐bridged bisphenoxy ligands were found to be highly active for ethylene polymerization. The most efficient catalyst precursor among them, generated by combining bis[3‐tert‐butyl‐5‐methyl‐2‐hydroxyphenyl](phenyl)phosphine hydrochloride ( 1a ) and CrCl₃(THF)₃, was characterized. X‐ray analysis of (3‐tert‐butyl‐5‐methyl‐2‐phenoxy)(3‐tert‐butyl‐5‐methyl‐ 2‐hydroxyphenyl)(phenyl)phosphine bis(tetrahydrofuran)chromium dichloride ( 6 ), obtained by the reaction of 1a and CrCl₃(THF)₃ in the presence of NaH, revealed a unique structure in which one phenol moiety of the bisphenol did not coordinate to the chromium center. Complex 6 showed higher activities than those observed in the in situ catalyst system. Polyethylene of various molecular weights was obtained with differing activators. The highest activity (113.5 kg mmol (cat)^?1 h^?1) was observed when TIBA/TB was used as a cocatalyst. A medium molecular weight polymer with narrow molecular weight distribution (M_w = 128,700, M_w/M_n = 1.8) was obtained using a 6 ‐TIBA/B(C₆F₅)₃ system. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

从（－）－（１Ｓ，２Ｒ，４Ｓ）－５，６－二亚甲基双环［２．２．１］庚－２－醇（Ｉ）和（－）－（１Ｓ，２Ｓ，４Ｓ）－５，６－二亚甲基双环［２．２．１］庚－２－醇（Ⅱ）出发，合成了它们的醚类和取代苯甲酸酯类光学纯的衍生物。通过［α］Ｄ测定和构型分析，发现它们是含有３个手性碳（Ｃ１，Ｃ２和Ｃ４）的桥环化合物，其旋光性与构型的关系均符合可极化度多级圆球不对称性模型。     

桥联双β-环糊精对N-[4-(1-芘基)]丁酰-D/L-苯丙氨酸的手性识别及机理研究

利用紫外-可见吸收和荧光发射光谱, 结合非线性最小二乘法拟合曲线以及分子力学(MM2)模拟系统地研究了手性分子N-[4-(1-芘基)]丁酰-D/L-苯丙氨酸(PDP和PLP, 总称PPs)与β-环糊精(β-CD)、 2-位硒桥联双β-CD(2-SeCD)和2-位碲桥联双β-CD(2-TeCD)的包结能力大小及这3个环糊精对PPs手性识别能力的差异和识别机理. 研究结果表明, PPs不能与单疏水空腔的β-CD形成很好的包结复合物, 与具有较长桥联链的2-TeCD结合能力最强. 2-TeCD与PDP和PLP的结合常数分别为2.33×104和6.07×103 L/mol, 对PPs的手性识别比达到KD/KL=3.84, 高于2-SeCD(KD/KL=2.61). 用MM2模拟得出了PPs与这两个双环糊精形成复合物的三维结构: PPs的绝大部分位于双环糊精两个空腔之间, 但是在这两个复合物中, 苯环与芘环所成的二面角不同. 此外, PPs与这两个双环糊精作用时均存在明显的氢键相互作用, 且2-TeCD强于2-SeCD.

四核钴羰基簇合物Co4(CO)8(μ-CO)2(μ4-PSR)2的合成和晶体结构

The title compounds Co4(CO)8(μ-CO)2 (μ4-PSR) [R=-CH3, -C2H5, -C(CH3)3,-(CHa)4CH3] were synthesized by the reaction of Co2(CO)8 with RSPCl2. They were characterized by IR, 1HNMR, elemental analysis.

Its molecular structure contains an octahedral Co4P2 skeleton which consists of a rectangular four cobalt atoms core and the Co4 core is capped above and below by two quadruply bridging PSR ligands.     

An ab initio molecular orbital study of the grignard reagents CH3MgCl and [CH3MgCl]2: The Schlenk equilibrium

Ab initio molecular orbital calculations are used to study the modified Schlenk equilibrium: 2RMgCl (RMgCl)² MgR₂ + MgCl₂ Mg(Cl₂)MgR₂ with R=H and CH₃. In the absence of any solvents, calculations indicate that the formation of the various possible bridged dimers (RMgCl)₂ is substantially exothermic. However, using dimethylether as a model solvent, we show that the formation of the dimer (Me₂O)(CH₃)Mg(Cl₂)Mg(CH₃)(OMe₂) is exothermic only when entropic effects are included.     

One and Two-dimensional Structures of a New Oxamido Copper(II) Complex with Phthalato Bridged

1 INTRODUCTION Coordination polymers are a family of materials composed of 1D chains, 2D sheets, and 3D networks of metal-organic building blocks connected via co- valent and hydrogen bonds. Recently, they have re- ceived increasing attention for their fascinating struc- tures and topological features[1～4]. The complex as ligands approach is one of the best strategies to de- sign and synthesize polynuclear species, and a good example of ‘complex ligand’ is represented by mono- nuclear…     

Quantification of L‐ergothioneine in whole blood by hydrophilic interaction ultra‐performance liquid chromatography and UV‐detection

A new hydrophilic interaction ultra‐performance LC method was established for the whole blood measurement of L‐ergothioneine. Chromatographic separation was achieved in a fairly short time, less than 4 min, on a 100 × 2.1 mm Acquity UPLC BEH HILIC 1.7 μm column with a mobile phase consisting of a mixture of 100 mmol/L ammonium acetate/ACN/water (5:85:10, v/v/v) that flowed isocratically at 0.250 mL/min. The LOD and the limit of quantification were 3.85 and 11.67 μmol/L, respectively. The method exhibited linearity in a concentration range of 15.63–1000 μmol/L (R² > 0.999). Mean recovery was 96.34% whereas intraassay and interassay precision were 1.52 and 1.82% RSD, respectively. On the whole, the developed method is simple, fast, precise, accurate, and sensitive and may be useful for routine analyses.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Two Succinato‐Bridged Macrocyclic Nickel(II) Complexes

Two dinuclear succinato‐bridged nickel(II) complexes [Ni(RR‐L)]₂(μ‐SA)(ClO₄)₂ ( 1 ) and [Ni(SS‐L)]₂(μ‐SA)(ClO₄)₂ ( 2 ) (L = 5, 5, 7, 12, 12, 14‐hexamethyl‐1, 4, 8, 11‐tetraazacyclotetradecane, SA = succinic acid) were synthesized and characterized by EA, Circular dichroism (CD), as well as IR and UV/Vis spectroscopy. Single crystal X‐ray diffraction analyses revealed that the Ni^II atoms display a distorted octahedral coordination arrangement, and the succinato ligand bridges two central Ni^II atoms in a bis bidentate fashion to form dimers in 1 and 2 . The monomers of {[Ni(RR‐L)]₂(μ‐SA)}²⁺ and {[Ni(SS‐L)]₂(μ‐SA)}²⁺ are connected by O–H ··· O and N–H ··· O hydrogen bonds into a 1D right‐handed and left‐handed helical chain along the b axis, respectively. The homochiral natures of 1 and 2 are confirmed by the results of CD spectroscopy.
