1,2,3,4-Alternate double cone conformational extreme in the supramolecular assemblies of p-sulfonatocalix[8]arene

Two supramolecular assemblies of p-sulfonato-calix[8]arene were stacked by some infinite 1D 'molecular capsule' chains in which the calixarenes adopt an unprecedented 1,2,3,4-alternate double cone conformation.

Synthesis and properties of polyimides derived from cis- and trans-1,2,3,4-cyclohexanetetracarboxylic dianhydrides

Cis-1,2,3,4-cyclohexanetetracarboxylic dianhydride (cis-1,2,3,4-CHDA) was synthesized. It was found that under such conditions as heating or boiling in acetic anhydride, cis-1,2,3,4-CHDA could be converted to its trans-isomer. The process of thermal isomerization was monitored by H-1 NMR spectra and the mechanism of conversion was proposed. Their absolute structures of cis- and trans-1,2,3,4-CHDAs were elucidated by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The polycondensations of cis- and trans-1,2,3,4-CHDAs with aromatic diamines such as 4,4'-oxydianiline (ODA), 4,4'-methylenedianiline (MDA), 4,4'-diamino-3,3'-dimethyldiphenylmethane (DMMDA), 4,4'-bis(4-aminophenoxy)benzene (TPEQ), 2,2-bis[4-(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl] propane (BAPP) were studied. It is easy to obtain higher molecular weight polyimides from trans-1,2,3,4-CHDA using conventional one-step or two-step methods. However, higher molecular weight polyimides derived from cis-1,2,3,4-CHDA could not be prepared by the usual methods (solid content ca. 10%) owing to the trend of forming cyclic oligomers.

Relationship between chemical bond parameters and superconducting temperature in HgBa2Can-1CunO2n+2+delta (n=1, 2, 3, 4)

Bond covalency and valence of elements in HgBa2Can-1CunO2n+2+delta (n = 1, 2, 3, 4) were calculated and their relationship with T-c was discussed. For both oxygen and argon annealed samples, the results indicated that with the increase of n, the trend of bond covalency of Hg-O and Cu-O was the same or opposite compared with that of superconducting temperature. This may suggest that the magnitudes of Cu-O and Hg-O bond covalency are important in governing the superconducting temperature. For the highest T-c sample, Hg had the lowest valence, implying that lower valence of Hg was preferred in order to produce higher T-c. For fixed n, the valence of Cu in oxygen annealed samples was larger than that in argon annealed samples, indicating that oxygen annealed samples produced more carriers than argon annealed samples.

Valence of elements in HgBa2Can-1CunO2n+2+delta (n=1, 2, 3, 4)

Valence of elements in HgBa2Can-1CunO2n+2+delta (n=1, 2, 3, 4) (both argon and oxygen annealed samples) were calculated. The result indicated for both argon and oxygen annealed samples, Hg had the lowest valence for the highest T-c sample. For fixed n, the valence of Cu in oxygen annealed samples was larger than that in argon annealed samples, indicating that oxygen annealed samples produce more carriers than argon annealed samples.

Activation of a ring methyl substituent in pentamethylcyclopentadienyl rhenium(V) compounds: Synthesis and characterization of the 1,2,3,4-tetramethyl-5,6-dihydrofulvene-5,6-dithiolato complex [ReO{(S)(SCH2)C(5)Me(4)}(C(5)Me(5))]

Reaction of the half-sandwich rhenium(v) complexes [Re-Cl-4(C(5)Me(5))] or [Re(O)Cl-2(C(5)Me(5))] with H2S in chloroform in the presence of pyridine leads to the chiral dithiolato complex [ReO((S)(SCH2)C(5)Me(4))(C(5)Me(5))] 1.

Comparative analysis of allantoin quercetin, and 1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline-3-carboxylic acid in Nitraria tangutorum Bobr. Seed by HPLC-APCI-MS and CE

This paper describes the simultaneous determination of allantoin, quercetin, and 1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline-3-carboxylic acid (MTCCA) in Nitraria tangutorum Bobr seed by HPLC-APCI-MS and CE (capillary electrophoresis) methods. The final optimized chromatographic conditions were investigated in a reversed-phase Eclipse XDB-C8 column (150 x 4.6 mm, 5 mu m). A seventeen-minute gradient elution, (A: aqueous acetonitrile 20% (v/v); B: aqueous acetonitrile 60% (v/v); C: pure acetonitrile 100%) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min was selected for the separation of three natural products with diode array detection (DAD) at 220 nm. A CE experiment was carried out in a fused silica capillary with 32 mmol/L boric acid (pH 10), 32 mmol/L SDS and acetonitrile (10.0%, v/v). The applied potential and temperature was, respectively, set at 19 kV and 25 degrees C. After development, the validation was performed in parallel for HPLC and CE, with the same standards and sample to avoid differences due to the manipulation. The validation parameters of both techniques were adequate for the intended purpose.

Poly[di-mu(3)-chloro-mu(2)-trans-1,2-di-4-pyridylethylene-dicopper(I)]: a two-dimensional organic-inorganic hybrid constructed from linear CuCl clusters and bridging ligands

The structure of the title compound, [Cu2Cl2(C12H10N2)](n), contains infinite CuCl staircase-like chains, which lie about inversion centres. The trans-1,2-di-4-pyrid-ylethyl-ene mol-ecules also lie about inversion centres and connect the CuCl chains through Cu-N coordination bonds into a two-dimensional organic-inorganic hybrid network. The planar sheets are stacked along the c axis and associated through weak C-H center dot center dot center dot Cl inter-actions. The results show a reliable structural motif with controllable separation of the CuCl chains by variation of the length of the ligand.
