Molecular structural characterization was investigated by elemental analysis, FTIR, and 1H-NMR spectra. The melting point obtained from DSC thermogram was almost 251 ℃, and the compound shows a thermal stability up to 270 ℃. Second-order NLO properties of the chromophore were measured by solvatochromic method. From the quantum-mechanical two-level model, it can be obtained that the μgβ value of DCDHF-2-V is 6520×10^-48esu atthe wavelength of 1064 nm.展开更多

The results showed that the water stability of soil aggregates declined with increasing size, especially for the low organic matter soils. Organic matter plays a key role in the formation of water-stable soil aggregates. The larger the soil aggregate size, the greater the impact of organic matter on the water stability of soil aggregates. Removal of organic matter markedly disintegrated the large water-stable aggregates (> 2.0 mm) and increased the small ones (< 0.25-0.smm) to some extent, whereas removal of free iron(aluminium) oxides considerably destroyed aggregates of all sizes, especially the < 0.25-0.5 mm classes. The contents of organic matter in water-stable aggregates increased with aggregate sizes. It is concluded from this study that small water-stable aggregates (< 0.25-0.5 mm) were chiefly cemented by Fe and Al oxides whilst the large ones (> 2.0 mm) were mainly glued up by organic matter. Both free oxides and organic matter contribute to the formation and water stability of aggregates in red soils.展开更多

Further covalent incorporation of various amines including single amine group, multi-amine groups of diethylenediamine （DETA）, and poly-amine groups of polyethylenimine （PEI） to the network gave rise to task-specific modification of the microenvironments to make them more suitable for CO2 capture. As a result, significant boost of CO2 adsorption capacity of 4.5 mmol/g （for FC-POP-CH2DETA, 273 K, 1 bar） and the CO2/N2 selectivity of 736.1 （for FC- POP-CH2PEI） were observed after the post-synthesis amine modifications. Furthermore, these materials can be regener- ated in elevated temperature under vacuum without apparent loss of CO2 adsorption capacity.展开更多

The copolymerization of synthesized surfmer with NVP （N-vinylpyrrolidone） and with NVP and VEP （5-tert-butylperoxy-5-methyl-2-hexene-3-yne monomer） led to formation of corresponding surface-active copolymers. The capability of application of resulted copolymers as surface active macroinitiators of emulsion polymerization of styrene and as components of polymeric scaffolds was investigated.展开更多

We explored a novel strategy to prepare GSH-capped Pt–Au–Ag-hybrid nanoclusters through the synergistic effect between ascorbic acid(VC) and glutathione(GSH) with chloroplatinic acid, chloroauric acid, and silver nitrate as precursors. The potential utilization of as-prepared GSH-capped Pt–Au–Aghybrid nanoclusters for catalytic applications has been evaluated through the reduction of 4-nitrophenol(4-NP) with NaBH4; we obtained the kinetic data by monitoring with UV-Vis spectroscopy. Our results illustrate that GSH-capped Pt–Au– Ag-hybrid nanoclusters could facilitate the process of reduction of 4-NP in a way that is unprecedented. This approach may offer a novel, non-cytotoxicity, efficient catalyst for industry.展开更多

Complementary to the conventional synthesis strategies based on the transformation of existing functional groups, we envisioned these molecules could be quickly accessed via selective functionalization of sp3 hybridized C-H bonds on the side chains of common α-AA precursors. We report a readily applicable method to prepare β-alkynyl α-amino acids via Pd-catalyzed diastereoselective C(sp3)-H alkynylation of common α-amino acids precursors with acetylene bromide.展开更多
