Yet, the catalytic EDA strategy is still in its infancy for organic synthesis due to the challenges of designing novel catalytic paradigm and expanding the substrate and reaction scope. Here, we disclose a catalytic EDA/Cu cooperative strategy by employing Na I as a catalytic donor for copper-catalyzed radical asymmetric carbocyanation. A diverse range of synthetically useful chiral benzyl nitriles are produced with high enantioselectivities. This synergetic EDA/copper catalysis enables the decarboxylative cyanation without request of any photoredox catalysts, further expanding the synthetic potential of catalytic EDA chemistry in organic synthesis.展开更多

文摘Three copper(Ⅱ),nickel and cadmium(Ⅱ)complexes,namely[Cu_(2)(μ-H2dbda)2(phen)2]·2H_(2)O(1),[Ni(μ-H2dbda)(μ-bpb)(H_(2)O)2]n(2),and[Cd(μ-H2dbda)(μ-bpa)]n(3),have been constructed hydrothermally using H4dbda(4,4'-dihydroxy-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3,3'-dicarboxylic acid),phen(1,10-phenanthroline),bpb(1,4-bis(pyrid-4-yl)benzene),bpa(bis(4-pyridyl)amine),and copper,nickel and cadmium chlorides at 160℃.The products were isolated as stable crystalline solids and were characterized by IR spectra,elemental analyses,thermogravimetric analyses,and singlecrystal X-ray diffraction analyses.Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses revealed that three complexes crystallize in the monoclinic P21/n,tetragonal I42d,and orthorhombic P21212 space groups.The complexes exhibit molecular dimers(1)or 2D metal-organic networks(2 and 3).The catalytic performances in the Knoevenagel reaction of these complexes were investigated.Complex 1 exhibits an effective catalytic activity and excellent reusability as a heterogeneous catalyst in the Knoevenagel reaction at room temperature.CCDC:2463800,1;2463801,2;2463802,3.

文摘The Kunene Complex(KC)represents a very large Mesoproterozoic igneous body,mainly composed of anorthosites and gabbroic rocks that extends from SW Angola to NW Namibia(outcropping 18,000 km^(2),NE-SW trend,and ca.350 km long and up to 50 km wide).Little is known about its structure at depth.Here,we use recently acquired aerogeophysical data to accurately determine its hidden extent and to unravel its morphology at depth.These data have been interpreted and modelled to investigate the unexposed KC boundaries,reconstructing the upper crustal structure(between 0 and 15 km depth)overlain by the thin sedimentary cover of the Kalahari Basin.The modelling reveals that the KC was emplaced in the upper crust and extends in depth up to ca.5 km,showing a lobular geometry and following a large NE-SW to NNE-SSW linear trend,presumably inherited from older Paleoproterozoic structures.The lateral continuation of the KC to the east(between 50 and 125 km)beneath the Kalahari Cenozoic sediments suggests an overall size three times the outcropping dimension(about 53,500 km^(2)).This affirmation clearly reinforces the economic potential of this massif,related to the prospecting of raw materials and certain types of economic mineralization(Fe-Ti oxides,metallic sulphides or platinum group minerals).Up to 11 lobes have been isolated with dimensions ranging from 135.5 to 37.3 km in length and 81.9 to 20.7 km in width according to remanent bodies revealed by TMI mapping.A total volume of 65,184 km3 was calculated only for the magnetically remanent bodies of the KC.A long-lasting complex contractional regime,where large strike-slip fault systems were involved,occurred in three kinematic pulses potentially related to a change of velocity or convergence angle acting on previous Paleoproterozoic inherited sutures.The coalescent magmatic pulses can be recognized by means of magnetic anomalies,age of the bodies as well as the lineations inferred in this work:(i)Emplacement of the eastern mafic bodies and granites in a stage of significant lateral extension in a transtensional context between 1500 Ma and 1420 Ma;(ii)Migration of the mantle derived magmas westwards with deformation in a complex contractional setting with shearing structures involving western KC bodies and basement from 1415 Ma to 1340 Ma;(iii)NNW-SSE extensional structures are relocated westwards,involving mantle magmas,negative flower structures and depression that led to the formation of late Mesoproterozoic basins from 1325 Ma to 1170 Ma.Additionally,we detect several first and second order structures to place the structuring of the KC in a craton-scale context in relation to the crustal structures detected in NW Namibia.
文摘Six new lanthanide complexes:[Ln(3,4-DEOBA)3(4,4'-DM-2,2'-bipy)]2·2C_(2)H_(5)OH,[Ln=Dy(1),Eu(2),Tb(3),Sm(4),Ho(5),Gd(6);3,4-DEOBA-=3,4-diethoxybenzoate,4,4'-DM-2,2'-bipy=4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine]were successfully synthesized by the volatilization of the solution at room temperature.The crystal structures of six complexes were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction technology.The results showed that the complexes all have a binuclear structure,and the structures contain free ethanol molecules.Moreover,the coordination number of the central metal of each structural unit is eight.Adjacent structural units interact with each other through hydrogen bonds and further expand to form 1D chain-like and 2D planar structures.After conducting a systematic study on the luminescence properties of complexes 1-4,their emission and excitation spectra were obtained.Experimental results indicated that the fluorescence lifetimes of complexes 2 and 3 were 0.807 and 0.845 ms,respectively.The emission spectral data of complexes 1-4 were imported into the CIE chromaticity coordinate system,and their corre sponding luminescent regions cover the yellow light,red light,green light,and orange-red light bands,respectively.Within the temperature range of 299.15-1300 K,the thermal decomposition processes of the six complexes were comprehensively analyzed by using TG-DSC/FTIR/MS technology.The hypothesis of the gradual loss of ligand groups during the decomposition process was verified by detecting the escaped gas,3D infrared spectroscopy,and ion fragment information detected by mass spectrometry.The specific decomposition path is as follows:firstly,free ethanol molecules and neutral ligands are removed,and finally,acidic ligands are released;the final product is the corresponding metal oxide.CCDC:2430420,1;2430422,2;2430419,3;2430424,4;2430421,5;2430423,6.
文摘Three zinc(Ⅱ),nickel(Ⅱ),and cadmium(Ⅱ)complexes,namely[Zn(μ-Htpta)(py)_(2)]n(1),[Ni(H_(2)biim)2(H_(2)O)2][Ni(tpta)(H_(2)biim)2(H_(2)O)]2·3H_(2)O(2),and[Cd_(3)(μ4-tpta)2(μ-dpe)_(3)]_(n)(3),have been constructed hydrothermally at 160℃ using H_(3)tpta([1,1':3',1″-terphenyl]-4,4',5'-tricarboxylic acid),py(pyridine),H_(2)biim(2,2'-biimidazole),dpe(1,2-di(4-pyridyl)ethylene),and zinc,nickel and cadmium chlorides,resulting in the formation of stable crystalline solids which were subsequently analyzed using infrared spectroscopy,element analysis,thermogravimetric analysis,as well as structural analyses conducted via single-crystal X-ray diffraction.The findings from these single-crystal Xray diffraction studies indicate that complexes 1-3 form crystals within the monoclinic system P2_(1)/c space group(1)or triclinic system P1 space group(2 and 3),and possess 1D,0D,and 3D structures,respectively.Complex 1 demonstrated substantial catalytic efficiency and excellent reusability as a heterogeneous catalyst in the reaction of Knoevenagel condensation under ambient temperature conditions.In addition,complex 1 also showcased notable anti-wear performance when used in polyalphaolefin synthetic lubricants.CCDC:2449810,1;2449811,2;2449812,3.
文摘This paper reports the preparation of three di‑iron complexes containing a thiazole moiety.Esterification of complex[Fe_(2)(CO)_(6)(μ‑SCH_(2)CH(CH_(2)OH)S)](1)with 4‑methylthiazole‑5‑carboxylic acid gave the corresponding ester[Fe_(2)(CO)_(6)(μ‑tedt)](2),where tedt=SCH_(2)CH(CH_(2)OOC(5‑C_(3)HNSCH_(3)))S.Further reactions of complex 2 with tri(ptolyl)phosphine(tp)or tris(4‑fluorophenyl)phosphine(fp)gave the phosphine‑substituted derivatives[Fe_(2)(CO)_(5)(tp)(μ‑tedt)](3)and[Fe_(2)(CO)_(5)(fp)(μ‑tedt)](4).The structures of the newly prepared complexes were elucidated by elemental analysis,NMR,IR,and X‑ray photoelectron spectroscopy.Moreover,single‑crystal X‑ray diffraction analysis confirmed their molecular structures,showing that they contain a di‑iron core ligated by a bridged dithiolate bearing a thiazole moiety and terminal carbonyls.The electrochemical and electrocatalytic proton reduction were probed by cyclic voltammetry,revealing that three complexes can catalyze the reduction of protons to H_(2) under the electrochemical conditions.For comparison,complex 4 possessed the best efficiency with a turnover frequency of 23.5 s^(-1)at 10 mmol·L^(-1)HOAc concentration.In addition,the fungicidal activity of these complexes was also investigated in this study.CCDC:2477511,2;2477512,3;2477513,4.

文摘While biomaterials are endowed with sophisticated functions by the temporal dynamics and autonomy derived from non-equilibrium assemblies in biological systems,fabricating advanced materials counterparts with these features through kinetic control remains rare.Herein,we report a non-equilibrium hydrogel that exhibits autonomous time-dependent ultrabright fluorescence(quantum yield 0.90),achieved through the kinetically controlled incorporation of thermodynamic equilibrium host-vip complexes into a poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)(PHEMA)network.Transient complexes are programmed by coupling rapid assembly kinetics with the slow competitive binding of the polymer matrix.This kinetic mismatch converts a thermodynamic equilibrium supramolecular system into a non-equilibrium state,generating temporally dynamic fluorescence that cyclically shifts from yellow to green and self-reverts.The programmed temporal dynamics endow the hydrogel with high potential for information encryption applications.
文摘The complexes 1-4 of cyclobutanocucurbit[5]uril(CyB5Q[5])with Na^(+)/K^(+)have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.The results show that although the inorganic salts are used when the cations are the same and the anions are different,in complex 1,Na^(+)closes one port of CyB5Q[5]through Na—O seven coordination bonds to form a molecular bowl;in complex 3,Na^(+)completely closes the two ports of CyB5Q[5]to form a molecular capsule with six Na—O coordination bonds;in complexes 2 and 4,the two ports of CyB5Q[5]are completely closed to form K—O coordinated molecular capsules,but the K^(+)of complex 2 is six-coordinated and that of complex 4 is eight-/nine-coordinated.and complex 4 are connected by three oxygen bridges to form a 1D molecular chain.CCDC:2457122,1;2457121,2;2457400,3;2457120,4.

文摘Cisplatin(CDDP)-based chemotherapy is an effective strategy for the treatment of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC).However,serious toxic side effects of CDDP limit patient tolerance and treatment compliance,which urgently needs to be addressed in clinical application.Liposomes have been considered ideal vehicles for reducing CDDP toxicity due to their high biocompatibility,low toxicity and passive targeting ability.Nevertheless,CDDP's poor water/lipid solubility usually results in a low liposome druglipid ratio,limiting tumor delivery ability.Herein,a CDDP-polyphenol complex liposome was designed to increase the drug loading capacity of CDDP to realize the reduction of toxicity and effective antitumor effect simultaneously.The complex was prepared via complexation reaction of different stoichiometric ratios of CDDP and polyphenolic substances(gallic acid,epigallocatechin gallate and tannic acid),followed by encapsulation of complex in liposomes to improve tumor targeting.Notably,the molecular interaction forces between CDDP and polyphenolic substances were intensively investigated through a binding force disruption assay.In vitro studies demonstrated that the optimal formulation of CDDP-epigallocatechin gallate complex liposome(CDDP-EGCG Lips) showed the highest CDDP encapsulation efficiency,favorable stability,pH-sensitive release,enhanced cellular uptake and apoptosis effect.In vivo studies revealed that CDDP-EGCG Lips retarded the elimination of CDDP to prolong their circulation time,inhibited the growth of tumors,and significantly reduced the toxic side effects compared to CDDP monotherapy.This delivery strategy holds great promise for improving the clinical use of platinum-based drugs.

文摘Ultra-high-strength aluminumalloy profile is an ideal choice for aerospace structuralmaterials due to its excellent specific strength and corrosion resistance.However,issues such as uneven metal flow,stress concentration,and forming defects are prone to occur during their extrusion.This study focuses on an Al-Zn-Mg-Cu ultra-high-strength aluminum alloy profile with a double-U,multi-cavity thin-walled structure.Firstly,hot compression experiments were conducted at temperatures of 350○C,400○C,and 450○C,with strain rates of 0.01 and 1.0 s^(−1),to investigate the plastic deformation behavior of the material.Subsequently,a 3D coupled thermo-mechanical extrusion simulation model was established using Deform-3D to systematically analyze the influence of die structure and process parameters on metal flow velocity,effective stress/strain,and temperature distribution.The simulation revealed significant velocity differences,stress concentration,and uneven temperature distribution.Key parameters,including mesh density,extrusion ratio,die fillet,and bearing length,were optimized through full-factorial experiments.This optimization,combined with a stepped flow-guiding die design,effectively improved the metal flow pattern during extrusion.Trial production based on both the initial and optimized parameters were carried out.A comparative analysis demonstrates that the optimized scheme results in a final profile whose cross-section matches the target design closely,with complete filling of complex features and no obvious forming defects.This research provides a valuable reference for the extrusion process optimization and die design of complex-section profiles made from ultra-high-strength aluminum alloys.

文摘Enhancing the catalytic activity of catalysts is a core objective in their design and synthesis processes,and the accessibility of active sites is one of the crucial factors determining catalyst activity.Polyoxometalate-based metal-organic complexes(POMOCs)with well-defined structures,which combine the advantages of POMs and MOCs,may offer the possibility to construct catalysts with highly accessible active sites.In this study,a series of POMOCs were successfully designed and synthesized using different POM templates,including[CoII1.5(L)1.5(PMo12O40)(H_(2)O)4]·3H_(2)O(Co-PMo12),[CoII1.5(L)1.5(PW12O40)(H_(2)O)4]·3H_(2)O(Co-PW12),[CoII2(L)2-(SiW12O40)(H_(2)O)4]·11H_(2)O(Co-SiW12),and H[CoII2.5(L)3-(P2W18O62)(H_(2)O)8]·10H_(2)O(Co-P2W18),which were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,powder X-ray diffraction,and single crystal X-ray diffraction.The differences in catalytic activity among the four POMOCs for olefin epoxidation were attributed to the distinct accessibility of Co(II)sites upon thermal activation.Among them,Co-P2W18 achieved a remarkable 99%yield of 1,2-epoxycyclooctane within 3 h at room temperature using O_(2)as the oxidant,owing to its highly accessible unsaturated Co(II)sites.Co-P2W18 exhibits significantly superior catalytic activity for the cyclooctene epoxidation reaction compared to most reported catalysts.Additionally,the reaction mechanism was investigated using density functional theory.

文摘Charge-transfer complexes(CTCs)have emerged as promising n-type organic thermoelectric(TE)materials due to their inherent high electrical conductivity and tunable transport polarities.In this study,we performed a comprehensive first-principles investigation on the TE properties of nine CTCs comprised of 2,7-dialkyl[1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzothiophenes(CnBTBT,n=4,8,12)as donors and fluorinated derivatives of tetracyanoquinodimethane(F_(m)TCNQ,m=0,2,4)as acceptors,aiming to identify high-performance n-type organic TE materials and elucidate the underlying structure-property relationships.Our calculation results,based on the Boltzmann transport equation and deformation potential theory,reveal that the length of the alkyl side chains and the number of fluorine substitutions significantly impact their electronic structures and TE properties.Notably,the CnBTBT-F_(m)TCNQ CTCs with shorter alkyl chains and more fluorine substitution demonstrate superior n-type characteristics,particularly C4BTBT-F4TCNQ,which achieves an excellent power factor of 671µW cm^(-1) K^(-2) at an optimal charge carrier concentration.Our findings not only clarify the critical role of molecular engineering in CTC-based TE materials but also provide valuable guidance for developing high-efficiency organic TE materials with versatile practical applications.

文摘Lignified stone cells are a unique feature of pear fruit,significantly affecting fruit texture.Even though some research efforts have already been made,the stone cell formation mechanism is complex,with many aspects yet to be elucidated.Here,through a genome-wide association analysis of stone cell traits,we identified PbrMADS1,a member of the SEPALLATA3(SEP3)subfamily,as a candidate gene specifically expressed in stone cells during early fruit development.Functional studies confirmed that PbrMADS1 promotes stone cell formation;however,it does not directly activate lignin-related genes.Instead,Pbr MADS1 interacts with PbrMYB169,enhancing PbrMYB169's binding to AC elements and amplifying downstream gene activation.Notably,homologous MADS1 and MYB169 proteins from closely related species such as apple and loquat do not form a similar complex.Sequence analysis revealed that the protein sequence of PbrMADS1 contains methionine(M)at the 63rdamino acid position,while apple and loquat homologs carry threonine(T)at the same site.Substituting M with T(PbrMADS1^(M63T))weakened its interaction with Pbr MYB169 and impaired its function in regulating stone cell formation.This study offers new insights into MADS gene-mediated stone cell formation and highlights functional divergence within the SEP3 subfamily among apple tribe species of the Rosaceae family.
文摘In modern industrial production,foreign object detection in complex environments is crucial to ensure product quality and production safety.Detection systems based on deep-learning image processing algorithms often face challenges with handling high-resolution images and achieving accurate detection against complex backgrounds.To address these issues,this study employs the PatchCore unsupervised anomaly detection algorithm combined with data augmentation techniques to enhance the system’s generalization capability across varying lighting conditions,viewing angles,and object scales.The proposed method is evaluated in a complex industrial detection scenario involving the bogie of an electric multiple unit(EMU).A dataset consisting of complex backgrounds,diverse lighting conditions,and multiple viewing angles is constructed to validate the performance of the detection system in real industrial environments.Experimental results show that the proposed model achieves an average area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUROC)of 0.92 and an average F1 score of 0.85.Combined with data augmentation,the proposed model exhibits improvements in AUROC by 0.06 and F1 score by 0.03,demonstrating enhanced accuracy and robustness for foreign object detection in complex industrial settings.In addition,the effects of key factors on detection performance are systematically analyzed,providing practical guidance for parameter selection in real industrial applications.

文摘Unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs)are widely utilized in area coverage tasks due to their flexibility and efficiency in geo-graphic information acquisition.However,complex boundary conditions in actual water area maps often reduce coverage efficiency.To address this issue,this paper proposes a map preprocessing algorithm that linearizes boundary lines and processes concave areas into concave polygons,followed by gridding the map.Additionally,a collaborative area coverage method for UAV swarms is introduced based on region partitioning,which considers the comprehensive cost of energy consumption and time.An improved Hungarian algorithm is utilized for region partitioning,and a Dubins-A*-based plow-ing area full coverage path planning method is proposed to achieve path smoothing and collaborative coverage of each partition.Two sets of simulation experiments are conducted.The first experiment verifies the effectiveness of the map preprocessing algorithm,and the second compares the proposed collaborative area coverage algorithm with other methods,demonstrating its performance advantages.
