A New 3D Layered-pillared Cobalt(II)-organic Framework Constructed by Imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic Acid (H_3IDC) and 4,4'-Bipyridine (bipy)

A new 3D metal-organic framework of {[Co3（IDC）2（bipy）2（py）2]·7H2O}n （1） was obtained by the hydrothermal reaction of Co（NO3）2·6H2O, imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid （H3IDC）, 4,4＇-bipyridine （bipy）, and pyridine （py）, and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

The adjacent layers are further linked by μ2-bipy to form an infinite 3D layered-pillared framework architecture of [Co3（IDC）2（bipy）2（py）2]n.

Altered expression of metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 alpha after acute diffuse brain injury Effect of the competitive antagonist 1-aminoindan-1, 5-dicarboxylic acid

The diffuse brain injury model was conducted in Sprague-Dawley rats, according to Marmarou＇s free-fall attack. The water content in brain tissue, expression of metabotropic glutamate receptor la mRNA and protein were significantly increased after injury, reached a peak at 24 hours, and then gradually decreased. After treatment with the competitive antagonist of metabotropic glutamate receptor la, （RS）-l-aminoindan-1,5-dicarboxylic acid, the water content of brain tissues decreased between 12-72 hours after injury, and neurological behaviors improved at 2 weeks. These experimental findings suggest that the 1-aminoindan-1, 5-dicarboxylic acid may result in marked neuroprotection against diffuse brain injury.

Expression of metabotropic glutamate receptor 1a in a rat cortical neuronal model of in vitro mechanical injury and the effects of its competitive antagonist (RS)-1-aminoindan-1,5-dicarboxylic acid

The present study established a rat cortical neuronal model of in vitro mechanical injury. At 30 minutes after injury, the survival rate of the injured cortical neurons was decreased compared with normal neurons, and was gradually decreased with aggravated degree of injury. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction results showed that at 1 hour after injury, there was increased expression of metabotropic glutamate receptor la in cortical neurons. Immunohistochemical staining results showed that at 30 minutes after injury, the number of metabotropic glutamate receptor 1a-positive cells increased compared with normal neurons. At 12 hours after injury, lactate dehydrogenase activity in the （RS）-l-aminoindan-1, 5-dicarboxylic acid （AIDA）-treated injury neurons was si[jnificantly decreased than that in the pure injury group. At 1 hour after injury, intracellular free Ca＂＋ concentration was markedly decreased in the AIDA-treated injury neurons than that in the pure injury neurons. These findings suggest that after mechanical injury to cortical neurons, metabotropic glutamate receptor la expression increased. The resulting increase in intracellular free Ca2＋ concentration was blocked by AIDA, indicating that AIDA exhibits neuroprotective effects after mechanical injury.

Crystal Structure and Theoretical Studies of Tetrahytrate(1-H-1,2,4-triazole-3,5-dicarboxylicacid)nickel

A new compound, [Ni（Hdctrz）（H2O）4]（1, H3dctrz = 1-H-1,2,4-triazole-3,5-dicarboxylic acid）, has been successfully synthesized via slow evaporation. The structure of 1 was characterized by FT-IR, elemental analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 6.871（1）, b = 11.468（1）, c = 12.178（1） A, b = 101.291（1）o, V = 941.01（16） A3, Z = 4, C4H9N3O8Ni, Mr = 285.85, Dc = 2.018 g·cm–3, m = 2.10 mm–1, F（000） = 584, GOOF = 1.025, the final R = 0.0515 and wR = 0.2125 for 1404 observed reflections（I 〉 2s（I））. The crystal structure is assembled by a slightly distorted {NiNO5} octahedral geometry and hydrogen bonds viz. N–H…O, O–H…O, C–O…π and π···π weak interactions. A rare π···π interaction from triazolate and carboxylate is affirmed through the molecular orbitals（MO） of three adjacent Ni CN molecules. The 3D Hirshfeld surface analysis was employed to gain additional insight into the interactions responsible for the packing of compound 1. Quantitative examination of 2D fingerprint plots revealed, amongst others, the dominating participation of O···H, N···H and π···π interactions in the molecular packing.

Structures and magnetic properties of several novel lanthanide coordination polymers based on thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid

Eight novel lanthanide complexes： {Ln（TDA）I.5（H20）2 },, （Ln = Pr（la）, Nd（2a）） and { Ln（TDA）（Ac）（H2O）}n （Ln = Pr（1）, Nd（2） Eu（3）, Gd（4）, Tb（5）, Dy（6）; TDA = Thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid anion） have been constructed by hydrothermal reaction. Structural analyses reveal that complexes Ia and 2a belong to the space group C2/c, exhibiting three-dimensional （3D） frame- works. Complexes 1-6 with P2t/c space group were prepared in the presence of excessive ammonium acetate, giving rise to interesting 3D frameworks different from those of la and 2a. Magnetic property studies of 4-6 reveal the weak antiferromag- netic interaction exists between adjacent Gd3＋ in 4. The complex 6 displays rather rare slow magnetization relaxation behavior in 3D frameworks.

Study on thermal decomposition kinetics of azobenzene-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid by using compensation parameter method and nonlinear fitting evaluation

Recently,azobenzene-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid(ADCA)has been produced gradually for use as an organic synthesis or pharmaceutical intermediate due to its eminent performance.With large quantities put into application in the future,the thermal stability of this substance during storage,transportation,and use will become quite important.Thus,in this work,the thermal decomposition behavior,thermal decomposition kinetics,and thermal hazard of ADCA were investigated.Experiments were conducted by using a SENSYS evo DSC device.A combination of differential iso-conversion method,compensation parameter method,and nonlinear fitting evaluation were also used to analyze thermal kinetics and mechanism of ADCA decomposition.The results show that when conversion rate α increases,the activation energies of ADCA's first and main decomposition peaks fall.The amount of heat released during decomposition varies between 182.46 and 231.16 J·g^(-1).The proposed kinetic equation is based on the Avrami-Erofeev model,which is consistent with the decomposition progress.Applying the Frank-Kamenetskii model,a calculated self-accelerating decomposition temperature of 287.0℃is obtained.

Extraction Equilibria of Trimellitic and [ 1,1′-Biphenyl]-2,2′-dicarboxylic Acid with 1-Octanol, 50%TBP, and 10%TRPO in Kerosene

To explore the feasibility of extracting aromatic acid products from oxidizing coal, two aromatic acids, trimellitic and [1,1′-biphenyl]-2,2′-dicarboxylic acid, were selected as the solutes, and the extraction equilibrium of the acids were studied with 1-octanol, 50% tributyl phosphate （TBP） in kerosene, and 10% trialkylphosphine oxide （TRPO） in kerosene. The results showed that the degree of extraction of [1,1′-biphenyl]-2,2′-dicarboxylic acid was larger than that of trimellitic acid for all of the solvent, and the extraction capacity with TRPO is more effective than the one with TBP. The extraction behavior of aromatic polyacid is different from that of carboxylic acid, and the reactive extraction function of aromatic acids with TBP and TRPO is not as effective as that of carboxylic acid. 1-octanol could be used to remove [1,1′-biphenyl]-2,2′-dicarboxylic acid from the mixture of trimellitic acid and [1,1′-biphenyl]-2,2′-dicarboxylic acid. Because the weak hydrogen bond association exists between -OH in 1-octanol and -COOH in aromatic acid, the extractive selectivity of [ 1, 1′-biphenyl]-2,2′-dicarboxylic to trimellitic acid depends on the stoichiometric ratio.

Oxygen-vacancy-rich MnO_(x)supported RuO_(x)for efficient base-free oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and 5-methoxymethylfurfural to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid

2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid(FDCA)is a promising biomass-derived polymeric monomer that serves as an attractive alternative to terephthalic acid derived from fossil resources.However,the green and efficient production of FDCA through the oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural(HMF)and its derivatives is still rudimentary under base-free conditions.In this work,oxygen-vacancy-rich Mn Oxwas prepared and displayed a strong adsorption and anchoring ability to Ru species that mainly exposed the(210)plane of RuO_(2),bringing about highly dispersed and active interfacial Ru-O-Mn structures.Experimental results and density functional theory calculations confirm that these above features greatly facilitate the adsorption/activation of oxygen and the dehydrogenation-oxidation of HMF/5-methoxymethylfurfural(MMF),which enables an efficient FDCA production under base-free and mild conditions.Notably,a desirable FDCA yield of 86.56%was still obtained from concentrated HMF(10 wt%)under base-free conditions over oxygen-vacancy-rich Mn Oxsupported Ru Ox(1.0 MPaO_(2),120℃,6 h).This work delineates a facile catalyst preparation strategy for HMF/MMF oxidation,and might open a new avenue for the green synthesis of FDCA under base-free conditions.

Low-temperature heat capacities and standard molar enthalpy of formation of pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid

This paper reports that the low-temperature heat capacities of pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid were measured by a precision automatic calorimeter over a temperature range from 78 K to 380 K. A polynomial equation of heat capacities as a function of temperature was fitted by the least-squares method. Based on the fitted polynomial, the smoothed heat capacities and thermodynamic functions of the compound relative to the standard reference temperature 298.15 K were calculated and tabulated at intervals of 5 K. The constant-volume energy of combustion of the compound was determined by means of a precision rotating-bomb combustion calorimeter. The standard molar enthalpy of combustion of the compound was derived from the constant-volume energy of combustion. The standard molar enthalpy of formation of the compound was calculated from a combination of the datum of the standard molar enthalpy of combustion of the compound with other auxiliary thermodynamic quantities through a Hess thermochemical cycle.

Transforming liquid flow fuel cells to controllable reactors for highlyefficient oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to 2, 5-furandicarboxylic acid at low temperature

Highly-efficient oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurtural(HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid(FDCA) at low temperature with air as the oxidant is still challenging.Herein,inspired by the respirato ry electron transport chain(ETC) of living cells mediated by electron carriers,we constructed artificial ETCs and transformed liquid flow fuel cells(LFFCs) to flexible reactors for efficient oxidation of HMF to produce FDCA under mild conditions.This LFFC reactor employed an electrodeposition modified nickel foam as an anode to promote HMF oxidation and(VO_(2))_(2)SO_(4) as a cathode electron carrier to facilitate the electron transfer to air.The reaction rate could be easily controlled by selecting the anode catalyst,adjusting the external loading and changing the cathodic electron carrier or oxidants.A maximal power density of 44.9 mW cm^(-2) at room temperature was achieved,while for FDCA production,short-circuit condition was preferred to achieve quick transfer of electrons.For a single batch operation with 0.1 M initial HMF,FDCA yield reached 97.1%.By fed-batch operation,FDCA concentration reached 144.5 g L^(-1) with a total yield of 96%.Ni^(2+)/Ni^(3+) redox couple was the active species mediating the electron transfer,while both experimental and DFT calculation results indicated that HMFCA pathway was the preferred reaction mechanism.
