The geometry optimizations and the single point energy calculations of iron tetraphenylporphyrin chloride Fe（TPP）Cl and iron tetraphenylporphyrin chloride （Fe（TPP）Cl）, iron pentafluorophenylporphyrin chloride ...The geometry optimizations and the single point energy calculations of iron tetraphenylporphyrin chloride Fe（TPP）Cl and iron tetraphenylporphyrin chloride （Fe（TPP）Cl）, iron pentafluorophenylporphyrin chloride （Fe（TPPF20）Cl） were carried out by using the Density Functional Theory （DFT） UB3LYP with STO-3G^＊ and 6-31G^＊ basis sets, respectively. The electronic properties and the structures of high-lying molecular orbitals were analyzed in detail. The results show that partial spin is transferred from the Fe atom to the porphyrin ring and some electron with the spin opposite to the unpaired electron on the Fe atom is transferred from the porphyrin ring to the Fe atom. The π and σ-type bonding between the Fe atom and the porphyin ring cause the transfer. The fluorination enhances the electron transfer and the chemical stability of the complex. The high stability is important for the complex possessing high catalytic activity. The catalysis mechanism of oxygen molecule activation on the complex surface is also discussed based on the symmetry of the molecular orbitals.展开更多

All the synthesized derivatives were evaluated for their anticonvulsant activity using the maximal electroshock （MES） method with phenytoin as a standard drug along with their neurotoxicity effect. Derivatives 8b, 8e and 8k exhibited significant anticonvulsant activity （P 〈 0.001）. The neurotoxicity study clearly revealed that all the tested compounds are non-toxic at a dose of 40 mg/kg. The molecular modeling studies also predicted good binding interactions of most active molecules with the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor. Therefore, it can be safely concluded that synthesized derivatives 8（a-n） would represent useful leads for further investigation in the development of a new class of anticonvulsant agents.展开更多

文摘Attaining the selective oxidation of isochroman into isochromanone in a molecular oxygen(O_(2))environment without any additives,via a heterogeneous oxidation process,is highly desirable and challenging work.Herein,we prepare two mixed-addendum polyoxometalate-based coordination polymers of the general formula[H_(x)M_(1-x)(i-PrIm)_(4)][H_(2)N(CH_(3))_(2)]_(4)[HPMo_(8)V_(6)O_(42)](M=Co 1,Ni,2;i-PrIm=1-isopropyl-1H-imidazole).Needing no additives,they can catalyze the selective oxidation of isochroman to isochromanone with O_(2)as an oxidant,with yields of 91.5%(1)and 46.8%(2),respectively.Mechanistic studies indicate that the excellent performance of catalyst 1 is attributed to the synergistic operation of[Co(i-Pr-Im)_(4))]complex and PMo_(8)V_(6)unit,and that the catalytic reaction is a radical pathway involving superoxide radicals.Additionally,the catalyst 1 can be recycled and reused at least four times with uncompromised performance.These results provide fundamental guidelines for designing efficient and multi-site heterogeneous catalysts for the selective oxidation of benzyl C(sp^(3))-H bonds by activating O_(2).
文摘A new series of benzothiazole Schiff bases 3–29 was synthesized and screened for antitumor activity against cervical cancer（Hela） and kidney fibroblast cancer（COS-7） cell lines. Results indicated that compounds 3, 14, 19, 27 and 28 have promising activity against Hela cell line with IC50 values of 2.41,3.06, 6.46, 2.22 and 6.25 mmol/L, respectively, in comparison to doxorubicin as a reference antitumor agent（IC50 2.05 mmol/L）. In addition, compound 3 displayed excellent activity against COS-7 cell line with IC50 value of 4.31 mmol/L in comparison to doxorubicin（IC50 3.04 mmol/L）. In the present work,structure based pharmacophore mapping, molecular docking, protein-ligand interaction, fingerprints and binding energy calculations were employed in a virtual screening strategy to identify the interaction between the compounds and the active site of the putative target, EGFR tyrosine kinase. Molecular properties, toxicity, drug-likeness, and drug score profiles of compounds 3, 14, 19, 27, 28 and 29 were also assessed.

文摘Azole derivatives（3,6） obtained starting from 1-（2-methoxyphenyl） piperazine were converted to the corresponding Mannich bases containing β-lactame or flouroquinolone core via a one pot three component reaction.The synthesis of conazole analogues was carried out starting from triazoles by three steps.Reactions were carried out under conventional and microwave mediated conditions.All the newly synthesized compounds were screened for their antimicrobial,enzyme inhibition and antioxidant activity,and most of them displayed good-moderate activity.Binding affinities and non-covalent interactions between enzyme-ligand complexes were predicted with molecular docking method at molecular level.Docking results complemented well the experimental results on α-glucosidase and urease inhibitory effects of the compounds.Higher binding affinities and much more interaction networks were observed for active compounds in contrary to inactive ones.It was predicted with the docking studies that triazole and anisole moieties in the structure of the synthesized compounds contributed to the stabilization of corresponding enzymes through noncovalent interactions.

文摘Defect engineering in metal organic frameworks(MOFs)has captured significant attention in the field of photocatalysis.A series of UiO-66(Ce)(UiO=University of Oslo)MOFs with different contents of missing-linker defects have been developed for the photocatalytic selective oxidation of benzylamine(BA)and thioanisole(TA)under visible light.The introduction of missing-linker defects promotes the formation of unsaturated Ce sites with a high Ce3+content.It also generates a high concentration of oxygen vacancies.In situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR)results revealed that BA and TA molecules were activated on coordinatively unsaturated Ce sites via the H-N…Ce and the C-S…Ce interactions,respectively.Simulated in situ electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR)data indicate that O_(2) activation and reduction occur at coordinatively unsaturated Ce^(3+)sites to form·O_(2)^(-).This is accelerated by the Ce^(3+)/Ce^(4+)redox cycle associated with the photogenerated electrons.The corresponding photogenerated holes are involved in the deprotonation of the activated BA and TA.The most active sample exhibits 98.4%and 95.5%conversion rates for BA and TA oxidation.Mechanisms for the molecular activation are proposed at the molecular level.

文摘Photocatalytic recovery,a novel precious metal recycling technology,dedicates to solving the environmental and energy consumption problems caused by traditional technologies.The activation of molecular oxygen (O_(2)) is one of the most critical steps in the whole process.Herein,we regulated the different adsorption intensity of oxygen on the surface by designing phosphate (PO_(4)^(3-)) modified titanium oxide(TiO_(2)).The results show that the adsorption of oxygen on the photocatalyst surface is gradually enhanced,which effectively improves the dissolution rate of precious metals.PO_(4)^(3-)modification increased the photocatalytic dissolution rate of gold (Au) by 2.8 times.The photocatalytic activity of other precious metals dissolution (such as palladium (Pd),platinum (Pt),rhodium (Rh),ruthenium (Ru) and iridium (Ir)) was also significantly improved.It is applied to the recovery of precious metals from spent catalysts and electronic devices to significantly promote the recovery efficiency.This indicates the direction for designing more efficient photocatalysts for precious metal recovery.

文摘Photocatalytic oxidative organic reactions are important synthetic transformations,and research on reaction selectivity by reactive oxygen species(ROS)is significant.To date,however,there has rarely been any focus on the directed generation of ROSs.Herein,we report the first identification of tunable molecular oxygen activation induced by polymeric conjugation in nonmetallic conjugated microporous polymers(CMP).The conjugation between these can be achieved by the introduction of alkynyl groups.CMP-A with an alkynyl bridge facilitates the intramolecular charge mobility while CMP-D,lacking an alkynyl group enhances the photoexcited carrier build-up on the surface from diffusion.These different processes dominate the directed ROS generation of the superoxide radical(·O_(2)^(-))and singlet oxygen(^(1)O_(2)),respectively.This theory is substantiated by the different performances of these CMPs in the aerobic oxidation of sulfides and the dehydrogenative coupling of amines,and could provide insight into the rational design of CMPs for various heterogeneous organic photosynthesis.

文摘Sunlight-driven activation of molecular oxygen(O_(2))for organic oxidation reactions offers an appealing strategy to cut down the reliance on fossil fuels in chemical industry,yet it remains a great challenge to simultaneously tailor the charge kinetics and promote reactant chemisorption on semiconductor catalysts for enhanced photocatalytic performance.Herein,we report iron sites immobilized on defective BiOBr nanosheets as an efficient and selective photocatalyst for activation of O_(2) to singlet oxygen(^(1)O_(2)).These Fe^(3+) species anchored by oxygen vacancies can not only facilitate the separation and migration of photogenerated charge carrier,but also serve as active sites for effective adsorption of 02.Moreover,low-temperature phosphorescence spectra combined with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)and electronic paramagnetic resonance(EPR)spectra under illumination reveal that the Fe species can boost the quantum yield of excited triplet state and accelerate the energy transfer from excited triplet state to adsorbed O2 via a chemical loop of Fe^(3+)/Fe^(2+),thereby achieving highly efficient and selective generation of ^(1)O_(2).As a result,the versatile iron sites on defective BiOBr nanosheets contributes to near-unity conversion rate and selectivity in both aerobic oxidative coupling of amines to imines and sulfoxidation of organic sulfides.This work highlights the significant role of metal sites anchored on semiconductors in regulating the charge/energy transfer during the heterogeneous photocatalytic process,and provides a new angle for designing high-performance photocatalysts.

文摘The geometry optimizations and the single point energy calculations of iron tetraphenylporphyrin chloride Fe（TPP）Cl and iron tetraphenylporphyrin chloride （Fe（TPP）Cl）, iron pentafluorophenylporphyrin chloride （Fe（TPPF20）Cl） were carried out by using the Density Functional Theory （DFT） UB3LYP with STO-3G^＊ and 6-31G^＊ basis sets, respectively. The electronic properties and the structures of high-lying molecular orbitals were analyzed in detail. The results show that partial spin is transferred from the Fe atom to the porphyrin ring and some electron with the spin opposite to the unpaired electron on the Fe atom is transferred from the porphyrin ring to the Fe atom. The π and σ-type bonding between the Fe atom and the porphyin ring cause the transfer. The fluorination enhances the electron transfer and the chemical stability of the complex. The high stability is important for the complex possessing high catalytic activity. The catalysis mechanism of oxygen molecule activation on the complex surface is also discussed based on the symmetry of the molecular orbitals.
文摘The present work describes a facile, one-pot three component environment friendly, green synthesis of a series of 5-（4-methoxyphenyl）-7,7-dimethyl-10-phenyl-7,8-dihydro-SH-indeno[ 1,2-b]quinoline- 9,11 （6H,10H）-dione derivatives 8（a-n）. 1,3-indanedione, awl-aldehyde and enaminone was thoroughly ground in the presence of catalytic amount of p-toluene sulfonic acid （p-TSA） to give the titled compounds in good yields. All the synthesized derivatives were evaluated for their anticonvulsant activity using the maximal electroshock （MES） method with phenytoin as a standard drug along with their neurotoxicity effect. Derivatives 8b, 8e and 8k exhibited significant anticonvulsant activity （P 〈 0.001）. The neurotoxicity study clearly revealed that all the tested compounds are non-toxic at a dose of 40 mg/kg. The molecular modeling studies also predicted good binding interactions of most active molecules with the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor. Therefore, it can be safely concluded that synthesized derivatives 8（a-n） would represent useful leads for further investigation in the development of a new class of anticonvulsant agents.

文摘DMAKO-05,a novel dimethylation of alkannin oxime derivative,exhibits remarkable anticancer activity as well as excellent cellular selectivity and thus has been considered as a promising antineoplastic agent for colorectal carcinoma and melanoma.However,its potent cytotoxicity is not closely associated with reactive oxygen species（ROS） and bioreductive alkylation.Its specific antitumor target（s） has still remained elusive.To recognize the molecular target（s） of DMAKO-05 and its analogs,four biotinylated DMAKO derivatives were designed and prepared.The biotin moiety was successfully introduced in the molecule through a modified Mitsunobu reaction,which kept its anticancer activity.Moreover,the cellbased investigation demonstrated that replacement of the linker C4 chain with another alkyl chain（C6 or C8） gave rise to the enhancement of cytotoxicity.Among these biotinyl derivatives,both compound 16 and 8c exhibited more potent anticancer activity than DMAKO-05 against MCF-7 cells and were comparatively effective to alkannin toward HCT-15 cells.As expected,they might be thought as ideal chemical probes.Collectively,our present work could provide an available approach for the identification of the potential antineoplastic target（s） of DMAKO derivatives.

文摘Clean catalytic oxidation has a broad prospect in the modern chemical engineering and energy chemistry fields.However,unexpected over-oxidation and disruptive degradation are frequently induced by excessive reactive oxygen species(ROS).Herein,we reported a new ROS-free approach to effectively drive O_(2) to be activated into highly reactive surface peroxo species through enzyme-mimicking mechanism.Benefiting from the dual-metal synergy effect between Cu and Co active sites,ROS(H_(2)O_(2) and OH•)is generated in situ while further scavenged completely into surface peroxo species,which gives rise to very high selectivity and extremely high carbon balance.For example,the CuCo/N-C catalyst affords>99.8%conversion and 94.5%selectivity to 2,5-furanedicarboxylic acid at 25℃ for 6 h in the aerobic oxidation of biomass platform 5-hydroxymethylfurfural.Moreover,it achieved exceptional performance in the oxidation of a variety of hydroxyl compounds to organic acids with high yields(89.9%–99.5%)at a mild temperature(25–40℃).This exploration introduces an innovative clue for emulating enzyme catalysts,thereby enriching our comprehension and advancement of biologically inspired catalytic oxidations.
