The Fabrication and Progress of Core-Shell Composite Materials 

Shunsheng Cao, Juanrong Chen and Jie Hu

pp. 1561-1576


The fabrication of core-shell composite materials continues to be of significant interest for potential applicability in catalysis, semiconductors, magnetic composites, drug delivery, enzyme immobilization, molecular recognition, chemical sensing, etc. As a result, their production has led to numerous practical and conceptual developments in that direction. This review presents an overview of the synthetic strategies and highlights recent advances in the fabrication of the core-shell composite particles that will continue to optimize existing approaches and to drive new procedures in this field.

  
 


Synthesis and Single Chain Fluorescence of a Sulfonated Conjugated Polymer 

Daniel E. Gómez, Tina A. T. Tan, Jonathan M. White, Toby D. M. Bell and Kenneth P. Ghiggino

pp. 1577-1582


Water-soluble conjugated polymers have potential applications as luminescent sensors and photovoltaic materials. The synthesis and single molecule fluorescence properties of a novel water-soluble sulfonated conjugated polymer are reported in this work. The photophysical processes occurring are shown to be polymer chain and environment dependent.

X-Ray Crystal Structure, Acid–Base Properties and Complexation Characteristics of a Methylenephosphonate Derivative of 1,4,7,10-Tetraazacyclododecane 

Ute Kreher, Milton T. W. Hearn and Leone Spiccia

pp. 1583-1592


Stable copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes bound to chromatographic supports are highly effective agents for the separation and purification of proteins via immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC). In order to use less toxic metal ions, we have been developing immobilized macrocyclic phosphonate ligands for use with hard metal ions. Investigations of the metal binding properties of such ligands indicate that the Fe3+ and Zn2+ complexes, and, to a lesser extent, the Ca2+ complex will be versatile candidates for use in the IMAC protein purification.

  
 


A Highly Selective Luminescent Sensor for Detecting Mercuric Ions in Water 

Sofian M. Kanan, Imad A. Abu-Yousef, Nora Hassouneh, Ahmed Malkawi, Naser Abdo and Marsha C. Kanan

pp. 1593-1599


The ability to sense inorganic mercury (Hg2+) ions in solution is of great importance because this form is easily converted to the highly toxic methyl mercury that bioaccumulates in fish. Using the developed sensor S1, low concentrations of inorganic mercuric ions were selectively detected under typical pH values.

  
 


Microwave-Controlled Preparation of Alkenyl-(1H)-1,2,4-triazoles: First Heck Reaction on a (1H)-1,2,4-Triazole Moiety 

Ángel Díaz-Ortiz, Pilar Prieto, Abel de Cózar, Cristina Cebrián, Andrés Moreno and Antonio de la Hoz

pp. 1600-1606


A new microwave-controlled synthetic approach for the preparation of alkenyl-1,2,4-triazoles is described. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first application of the Heck reaction to a dihalogenated 1,2,4-triazole. This approach allows the introduction of a wide range of equivalent or different alkenyl substituents in the 5- and/or 3-positions

Synthesis, Structure, and Photoluminescent Properties of Two New Microporous Eu(III) Coordination Polymers with 2,4,6-Pyridinetricarboxylate 

Cui-Jin Li, Wei Li, Zhao-Sha Meng, Meng-Xia Peng, Ming-Mei Yang and Ming-Liang Tong

pp. 1607-1613


Two new three-dimensional microporous coordination polymers [Eu5(pyta)5(H2O)7]x3.5H2O (1) and [Eu2(ox)1.5(pyta)(H2O)4]x4.5H2O (2) have been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. Both 1 and 2 emit the characteristic photoluminescent properties of the Eu(III) ion. Dehydrated 2 shows interesting solvent-dependent photoluminescent properties.

A 'Butterfly'-shaped Water Tetramer in a Cu4 Complex Supported by a Hydrazone Ligand: Synthesis, Crystal Structure, Magnetic Properties, and Quantum Chemical Study 

Sambuddha Banerjee, Soma Sen, Joy Chakraborty, Ray J. Butcher, Carlos J. Gómez García, Ralph Puchta and Samiran Mitra

pp. 1614-1621


This paper describes the synthesis, X-ray crystal structure and VTM study of a tetranuclear CuII complex derived from a tetradentate hydrazone ligand LH2. The voids of these tetramers are occupied by tetranuclear water clusters with a very large dihedral angle. This paper also details a theoretical calculation describing the stability of such water cluster.

New Copper(II) and Nickel(II) Complexes with Bifunctional Tetrazolate-5-carboxylate Ligands: Syntheses, Crystal Structures, and Magnetic Properties 

A-Qing Wu, Qi-Yong Chen, Mei-Feng Wu, Fa-Kun Zheng, Feng Chen, Guo-Cong Guo and Jin-Shun Huang

pp. 1622-1630


Four new CuII and NiII complexes with bifunctional tetrazolate-5-carboxylate ligands have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility data show the presence of antiferromagnetic interactions in two dinuclear complexes.

Microwave-Induced Molecular Rearrangements. Flash Thermolysis in the Gas-Phase and in Solution: Synthesis of Quinolones and Naphthyridones 

Delphine Lecoq, Benjamin A. Chalmers, Rakesh N. Veedu, David Kvaskoff, Paul V. Bernhardt and Curt Wentrup

pp. 1631-1638


Quinolones and naphthyridones are obtained from Meldrum's acid and pyrroledione derivatives by flash vacuum thermolysis as well as by microwave-induced thermolysis in solution. A comparison of these two methods is provided.

Rapid, Chemoenzymatic Syntheses of the Epoxyquinols (–)-Bromoxone Acetate and (–)-Tricholomenyn A 

David M. Pinkerton, Martin G. Banwell and Anthony C. Willis

pp. 1639-1645


The illustrated and enantiomerically pure cis-1,2-dihydrocatechols 3 (X = Br) and 4 (X = I) have been converted into the epoxyquinols (–)-bromoxone acetate (1) and (–)-tricholomenyn A (2), respectively. Compounds 1 and 2 are typical examples of the simpler members of the ever growing class of epoxyquinol-based natural products.

X-ray Structural Analysis for the Prediction on the Nature of the Retro Diels–Alder Pathway: Concerted or Stepwise. Structural Studies on Nitrosobenzene Cycloadducts 

Jesse Roth-Barton and Jonathan M. White

pp. 1695-1698


Crystal structures of nitrosobenzene cycloadducts 5–7 reveal structural effects consistent with the early stages of the retro Diels–Alder fragmentation. There is a clear differentiation between the structure parameters of cycloadduct 5, which reacts by a concerted synchronous pathway and that of cycloadduct 6, which must react by a two-step pathway. Based on these data, cycloadduct 7 is predicted to react by a highly asynchronous or two-step pathway.
