Crystal and Molecular Structure of Bis-N,N’(dithiodi-2,1-phennylene)benzamide

The crystal structure of the title compound ((C 6H 5CONC 6H 4S) 2, M r =229) has been determined by X ray diffraction analysis. The crystal belongs to triclinic space group P 1 with cell parameters: a=7.957(4), b=11.570(7), c=12 335(6), α=76.68(4), β=81.48(4), γ=87.26(4)°, V=1092.9 3, Z=2, D c =1 39g/cm 3, F(000)=476, μ (Mo Kα )=2.7mm -1 . The final R factor is 0.0373 for 3764 observed reflections. The result of X ray diffraction analysis indicates that all of these single bond lengths are obviously shorter than that of standard single bond. Those atoms might take part in a conjugate system. The electrons for sp 3 hybridized S(1) and S(2) move toward two sides and the densities of electronic cloud among them are reduced and can be easily broken. The obtained results can explain the reaction mechanism of the title compound.

Computational investigation on the molecular structure and chemical reactivity of a traditional Chinese medicine extract MK-1 molecule

MK-1 molecule(C_(16)H_(16)O_(2)),the simplest structure of vitamin K(VK)compound family,is an extract from traditional Chinese medicine Cymbopogon distans(Nees ex Steud.)Wats(Chinese name YunXiangCao),which has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years due to its antiasthmatic,antitussives and expectorant effects.To investigate the molecular structure and chemical reactivity of MK-1 molecule,computational investigations on six conformational minima structures were carried out at the MP2/6-311++G(2d,2p)level of theory.Several local reactivity descriptors including condensed Fukui function,average local ionization energy,and molecular electrostatic potential on each individual atom were determined to predict the intrinsic reactivity of MK-1 molecule.

Coverless Information Hiding Based on the Molecular Structure Images of Material

The traditional information hiding methods embed the secret information by modifying the carrier,which will inevitably leave traces of modification on the carrier.In this way,it is hard to resist the detection of steganalysis algorithm.To address this problem,the concept of coverless information hiding was proposed.Coverless information hiding can effectively resist steganalysis algorithm,since it uses unmodified natural stego-carriers to represent and convey confidential information.However,the state-of-the-arts method has a low hidden capacity,which makes it less appealing.Because the pixel values of different regions of the molecular structure images of material(MSIM)are usually different,this paper proposes a novel coverless information hiding method based on MSIM,which utilizes the average value of sub-image’s pixels to represent the secret information,according to the mapping between pixel value intervals and secret information.In addition,we employ a pseudo-random label sequence that is used to determine the position of sub-images to improve the security of the method.And the histogram of the Bag of words model(BOW)is used to determine the number of subimages in the image that convey secret information.Moreover,to improve the retrieval efficiency,we built a multi-level inverted index structure.Furthermore,the proposed method can also be used for other natural images.Compared with the state-of-the-arts,experimental results and analysis manifest that our method has better performance in anti-steganalysis,security and capacity.

Molecular Structures and Mechanical Properties of Microbe Rapid Coagulation Natural Rubber

In this work,molecular structures,dynamic mechanical properties and glass transition temperatures of microbe coagulated natural rubber（NR） samples were analyzed by using pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry（py-GC/MS）,rubber process analyzer（RPA） and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis（DMA）.And the cross-linked network structures and mechanical properties of the corresponding NR vulcanizates were further determined by using nuclear magnetic resonance（NMR） crosslink density spectrometer（XLDS-15） and universal testing machines.The results show that NR raw rubber produced by rapidly coagulated with microorganism exhibits a simple molecular structure composition and good dynamic mechanical properties,and the corresponding NR vulcanizates possess the aggregation structure of high cross-linked density,a high glass transition temperature of-61.5 ℃ and high mechanical properties（tensile strength reaches 25.2 MPa）,as compared with that coagulated with acetic acid.

Molecular Structure of Kerogen in the Longmaxi Shale: Insights from Solid State NMR, FT-IR, XRD and HRTEM

Kerogen plays an important role in shale gas adsorption,desorption and diffusion.Therefore,it is necessary to characterize the molecular structure of kerogen.In this study,four kerogen samples were isolated from the organic-rich shale of the Longmaxi Formation.Raman spectroscopy was used to determine the maturity of these kerogen samples.Highresolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM),13 C nuclear magnetic resonance(13 C NMR),X-ray diffraction(XRD)and Fourier transform infrared(FT-IR)spectroscopy were conducted to characterize the molecular structure of the shale samples.The results demonstrate that VReqv of these kerogen samples vary from 2.3%to 2.8%,suggesting that all the kerogen samples are in the dry gas window.The macromolecular carbon skeleton of the Longmaxi Formation kerogen is mainly aromatic(fa’=0.56).In addition,the aromatic structural units are mainly composed of naphthalene(23%),anthracene(23%)and phenanthrene(29%).However,the aliphatic structure of the kerogen macromolecules is relatively low(fal*+falH=0.08),which is presumed to be distributed in the form of methyl and short aliphatic chains at the edge of the aromatic units.The oxygen-containing functional groups in the macromolecules are mainly present in the form of carbonyl groups(fac=0.23)and hydroxyl groups or ether groups(falO=0.13).The crystallite structural parameters of kerogen,including the stacking height(Lc=22.84?),average lateral size(La=29.29?)and interlayer spacing(d002=3.43?),are close to the aromatic structural parameters of anthracite or overmature kerogen.High-resolution transmission electron microscopy reveals that the aromatic structure is well oriented,and more than 65%of the diffractive aromatic layers are concentrated in the main direction.Due to the continuous deep burial,the longer aliphatic chains and oxygen-containing functional groups in the kerogen are substantially depleted.However,the ductility and stacking degree of the aromatic structure increases during thermal evolution.This study provides quantitative information on the molecular structure of kerogen samples based on multiple research methods,which may contribute to an improved understanding of the organic pores in black shale.

Relationship between Multi-Phase Formation and Molecular Structure for Liquid Crystal System

4 mechanical model of liquid crystals （ LCs ） was used to explain the phase formation and thermal properties . The LC plusses in the model are micro- machine systems consisting of an ensemble of molecular rotors, and some dynamie parameters in a semi-experiment molecular orbit method. A novel explanation on the multi-phase formation of LC system is obtained. It is found that the value of the critical rotational velueity is a key parameter for the characterization of each homologous series. The dipole moment of the molecules was also discussed.

Theoretical Studies on the Molecular Structures and Thermodynamic Properties of Polychlorinated Fluorenes

Geometric structures of 135 polychlorinated fluorene （PCFR） molecules were optimized using density functional theory （DFT） at the B3LYP/6-311G＊＊ level and their thermodynamic properties in the ideal gas state were calculated. The relations of these thermodynamic properties with the number and position of chlorine atoms were also explored, from which the relative stability of PCFR congeners was theoretically proposed according to the magnitude of the relative standard Gibbs free energy of formation （Δr,fGθ）. The results show that the geometric configuration of PCFR isomers is determined by the position of chlorine atoms. There exist two types of intramolecular weak interactions, i.e., C–H···Cl and Cl···Cl interactions in PCFR molecules. The change of ΔfHθ and ΔfGθ of most stable PCFR isomers with increasing the number of chlorine atoms is different from that in most unstable PCFR congeners. The values of ΔfHθ and ΔfGθ for PCFR isomers with the same number of chlorine atoms strongly depend on the position of chlorine atoms and the relative stability of PCFR congeners is mainly determined by intramolecular delocalized π bond and Cl···Cl nuclear repulsive interaction.

Molecular structure and analytical potential energy function of SeCO

The density functional method （B3P86/6-311G） is used for calculating the possible structures of SeC, SeO, and SeCO molecules. The result shows that the ground state of the SeC molecule is 1^∑, the equilibrium nuclear distance is RseC = 0.1699 nm, and the dissociation energy is De = 8.7246 eV. The ground state of the SeO molecule is 3^∑, with equilibrium nuclear distance RseO=0.1707 nm and dissociation energy De = 7.0917 eV. There are two structures for the ground state of the SeCO molecule： Se=C=O and Se=O=C. The linear Se=C=O is 1^∑. Its equilibrium nuclear distances and dissociation energy are Rsec = 0.1715 nm, Rco = 0.1176 nm and 18.8492 eV, respectively. The other structure Se=O=C is 1^∑. Its equilibrium nuclear distances and dissociation energy are Rco = 0.1168 nm, RSeO= 0.1963 nm and 15.5275 eV, respectively. The possible dissociative limit of the SeCO molecule is analyzed. The potential energy function for the SeCO molecule has been obtained from the many-body expansion theory. The contour of the potential energy curve describes the structure characters of the SeCO molecule. Furthermore, contours of the molecular stretching vibration based on this potential energy function are discussed.

Theoretical Studies on the Molecular Structures and Thermodynamic Properties of Polychlorinated Acenaphthylenes

Geometric structures of 135 polychlorinated acenaphthylene （PCAC） molecules were optimized using density functional theory （DFT） at the B3LYP/6-311G^＊＊ level and some thermodynamic properties of them in the ideal gas state were calculated. The relations of these thermodynamic properties with the number and position of chlorine atoms were also explored, from which the relative stability of PCAC congeners was theoretically proposed according to the magnitude of the relative standard Gibbs free energy of formation （△r,fGθ）. The results show that all PCAC isomers have planar geometric configuration. There exists intramolecular Cl···Cl weak interaction in some PCAC molecules. The change of △fHθ and fGθ of most stable PCAC isomers with increasing the number of chlorine atoms is different from that in the least stable PCAC congeners. The values of fHθ and fGθ for PCAC isomers with the same number of chlorine atoms show a strong dependence on the position of chlorine atoms and the relative stability of PCAC congeners has close relation with the intramolecular Cl···Cl nuclear repulsive interaction.

Photosynthesis and Molecular Structure of 2-Amino-3H-phenoxazin-3-one

The single crystal of the title compound (C12H8N2O2, Mr = 212.20) has been obtained by oxidation of 2-aminophenol in methanol solution with irradiation of sunlight. The crystal belongs to monoclinic space group P21/c with cell dimensions of a = 12.925(2), b = 5.077(3), c = 14.768(3)? b = 99.38(1), V = 956.2(5)?, Z = 4, Dc = 1.474 g/cm3, = 0.103 mm-1, R = 0.054, wR = 0.074 for 785 observed reflections (I > 2s(I)). The molecule consists of three coplanar rings. Much different CC distances (1.494(4)?and 1.343(6) ? observed within the quinoidal ring show the pattern of bond fixation expected for the Kekule formula.

Influence of Molecular Structure on the Dimerization Reactivity of Germaaromatic Compounds: a Theoretical Study

Density functional theory （DFT） calculations, at the B3LYP/6-311G＊＊ level of theory, were performed to study the reaction mechanism and potenti4the potential energy surface of the studied reactions was investigated. Our calculation results show that [2 ＋ 2] and [4 ＋ 4] reactions are concerted and synchronous processes; while [4 ＋ 2] reactions proceed via a concerted but asynchronous way in general. [2 ＋ 2] and [4 ＋ 2] reactions of germabenzenes and 1-germana- phthalene proceed much more easily than the corresponding [4 ＋ 4] reaction, both thermo- dynamically and kinetically; while most [4 ＋ 2] paths have lower activation barrier than the corres- ponding [2 ＋ 2] ones. As the number of six-membered aromatic rings in reactant molecules becomes larger, [2 ＋ 2], [4 ＋ 2] and [4 ＋ 4] reactions become easier to proceed. The influence of substituents at the Ge atom of germabenzenes on the potential energy surface of [2 ＋ 2] and [4 ＋ 2] reactions correlates with their electronic properties and volume. Solvent effect is not crucial for the potential energy surfaces of the studied reactions.

A linear equation had been established to describe the quantitative relationship between the refractive index and phenyl content.Refractive index values from the group contribution function model showed good consistency with experimental results.

Unraveling structure and performance of protein a ligands at liquid–solid interfaces: A multi-techniques analysis

Oriented ligand immobilization is one of the most effective strategies used in the design and construction of a high-capacity protein A chromatography. In this work, cysteine was introduced as anchoring sites by substituting a specific residue on Helix Ⅰ, Ⅱ, and at C-terminus of antibody binding domain Z from protein A, respectively, to investigate structural evolution and binding behavior of protein A ligands at liquid-solid interfaces. Among the three affinity dextran-coated Fe_(3)O_(4) magnetic nanoparticles(Fe_(3)O_(4)@Dx MNPs), affinity MNPs with the immobilized ligand via N11C on Helix Ⅰ(Fe_(3)O_(4)@Dx-Z_(1) MNPs) had the highest helical content, and MNPs with the immobilized ligand via G29C on Helix Ⅱ(Fe_(3)O_(4)@Dx-Z_(2) MNPs) had the lowest helical content at the same pHs. It was attributed to less electrostatic attraction of ligand to negatively charged surface on Fe_(3)O_(4)@Dx-Z_(1) MNPs because of less positive charged residues on Helix Ⅰ(K6) than Helix Ⅱ(R27/K35). Among the three affinity MNPs, moreover, the highest affinity to immunoglobulin G(IgG) binding was observed on Fe_(3)O_(4)@Dx-Z_(1) MNPs in isothermal titration calorimetry measurement, further validating greater structural integrity of the ligand on Fe_(3)O_(4)@Dx-Z_(1) MNPs. Finally,the study of IgG binding on MNPs and 96-well plates showed that anchoring sites for ligand immobilization had distinct influences on IgG binding and IgG-mediated antigen binding. This work illustrated that anchoring sites of the ligands had a striking significance for the molecular structure of the ligand at liquid-solid interfaces and raised an important implication for the design and optimization of protein A chromatography and protein A-based immunoassay analysis.

THE CONTROL OF POLYMETHACRYLATE MOLECULAR STRUCTURE BY GROUP TRANSFER POLYMERIZATION

INTRODUCTION Group transfer polymerization (GTP) is a method for controlling the structure of acrylic polymers in which reactive chain ends are covalentiy bound to a trimethylsilyl group. In the presence of a catalyst, monomer inserts into these chain ends between the silyl group and the last monomer unit. The process is illustrated by equation (1) for methyl methacrylate. GTP is a living polymerization, i. e., there is little or no chain termination and no chain transfer. A significant advantage of GTP is that it

Molecular Structure of Bicyclopentadienyl (methycyclopentadienyl) Furanto Samarium

The mixed tris-cyclopentadienyl tetrahydrofuranato samarium complexes bis-(cyclopentadienyl) methylcyclopentadienyl tetrahadrofuranato samarium (Ⅰ) was synthesized by reaction of (C_5H_5)_2SmCl with methyl cyclopentadienyl sodium in THF. [(C_5H_5)_2(C_5H_4CH_3)(C_4H_8O)Sm] (Ⅰ) was characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra and MS spectra. The structure of [(C_5H_5)_2(C_5H_4CH_3)(C_4H_8O)Sm] (Ⅰ), which has two slightly different independent molecules per asymmetric unit, was elucidated through complete X-ray analysis. The crystals are monoclinic with a=1.2791(3) nm, (b=1.0467(2) nm,) c=2.6108(5) nm, β=98.22(2)°, space group Cc, R=0.0381 for 2103 observed reflection with I3σ(I).

INFLUENCE OF MOLECULAR STRUCTURES OF SECONDARY AMINE TERMINATED POLY(ESTER-AMINE)S ON THE CURING PERFORMANCE WITH EPOXY RESIN

Five secondary amine terminated poly（ester-amine）s （defined as PEA） with controlled molecular structures were synthesized through reacting excessive piperazine with phthalicdiglycol diacrylate （PDDA） and 1,1,1-trimethylolpropane triacrylate （TMPTA） at a constant secondary amine/acrylate group ratio of 1.5/1 and at different PDDA/TMPTA molar ratios. Both IR and ^1H-NMR spectra indicated that all acrylate groups were consumed in the reaction, based on which the structural parameters were calculated from the ^1H-NMR spectra. With decreasing PDDA/TMPTA ratio, the content of secondary amine, degree of branching, molecular weight, Tg and Td increased accordingly. These polymers were further used as both crosslinkers and flexibilizers for a linear epoxy resin E51 to form cured films under ambient condition. The gel content, relative hardness and Tg of the resulting films increased as PEA molecules changed from linear to highly branching structures. Due to the flexibility of PEA molecules, all the films possessed excellent mechanical performance.

Molecular structure dependence of acoustic nonlinearity parameter B/A for silicone oils

Exploring new acoustic parameters is essential to develop a noninvasive imaging technique for the surgery of silicone oil tamponades. In this study, the acoustic nonlinearity parameters B/A of varied silicone oil samples （e.g., linear or hyper-branched） are experimentally measured by using a modified thermodynamic method. The results show that： （i） when the concentration of the silicone oil with a molecular weight of 5 × 10^4 increases from 0.5 g/100 ml to 8 g/100 ml, the corresponding B/A value increases by about 18%, but the acoustic velocity only increases by about 0.1%; （ii） when the molecular weight of the hyper-branched silicone oil is enhanced from 2 × 10^5 to 1 × 10^6, the B/A value increases by about 22%, while the acoustic velocity is only raised by about 0.2%. This study suggests that the B/A parameter of the silicone oil is more sensitive to the change in its molecular structure than that of the acoustic velocity. Thus, the B/A parameter might be utilized as an effective index for the development and optimization of the noninvasive imaging of the surgery of silicone oil tamponades.

The molecular structure and the analytical potential energy function of S2^- and S3^-

In this paper, the equilibrium geometry, harmonic frequency and dissociation energy of S2^- and S3^- have been calculated at QCISD/6-311＋＋G（3d2f） and B3P86/6-311＋＋G（3d2f） level. The S2^- ground state is of 2IIg, the S3^- ground state is of 2B1 and S3^- has a bent （C2v） structure with an angle of 115.65° The results are in good agreement with these reported in other literature. For S3^- ion, the vibration frequencies and the force constants have also been calculated. Base on the general principles of microscopic reversibility, the dissociation limits has been deduced. The Murrell-Sorbie potential energy function for S2^- has been derived according to the ab initio data through the least- squares fitting. The force constants and spectroscopic data for S2^- have been calculated, then compared with other theoretical data. The analytical potential energy function of S3^- have been obtained based on the many-body expansion theory. The structure and energy can correctly reappear on the potential surface.

Evolution of optical properties and molecular structure of PCBM films under proton irradiation

Low-energy proton irradiation effects on the optical properties and the molecular structure of phenyl-C_(61)-butyric acid methyl ester(PCBM)are studied in this work.The PCBM films are irradiated by 100-keV proton beams with fluences of 5×10^(12)p/cm^(2),5×10^(13)p/cm^(2),and 5×10^(14)p/cm^(2),respectively.The photoluminescence(PL)peaks of the post-irradiated PCBM films show a progressive decrease in the peak intensity as the proton fluences increase,which can be attributed to the deep defect levels induced by proton irradiation.Additionally,a slight blue-shift in the PL spectrum is also observed at a proton fluence of 5×10^(14)p/cm^(2).The underlying mechanism can be traced back to the lift of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital(LUMO)level,which is caused by the attachment of methoxy radicals on ortho position of the phenyl ring in the post-irradiated PCBM structure.This work is of significance in understanding the radiation hardness and the damage mechanism of the PCBM film in radiation environments,which is essential before it is put into practical application in space.
