The structure was refined to R = 0.0662 and wR = 0.1891 for 1163 observed reflections (I > 2σ(I)). The title molecule has trans-conformation about the central phenyl ring. The zigzag-like molecules are connected by face-to-face π…π stacking to form an infinite 2D layer.

Formation of Hybrid Ring Structure of Cyanurate/Isocyanurate in the Reaction be-tween 2,4,6-Tris(4-Phenyl-Phenoxy)-1, 3,5-Triazine and Phenyl Glycidyl Ether

Reaction products of 2,4,6-tris(4-phenyl-phenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine derived from 4-phenylphenol cyanate ester and phenyl glycidyl ether were analyzed. In addition to an isocyanurate compound and an oxazolidone compound which were well known as reaction products of cyanate esters and epoxy resins, compounds with hybrid ring structure of cyanurate/isocyanurate were determined. Gibbs free energies of the compound having hybrid ring structure of cyanurate/isocyanurate with two isocyanurate moiety were found to be lower than that of the compound with cyanurate ring structure through calculations. Calculation data supported the existence of hybrid ring structure of cy-anurate/isocyanurate. It was revealed that isomerization from cyanurate to isocyanurate occurs via hybrid ring structure of cyanurate/isocyanurate in the reaction of aryl cyanurate and epoxy.

A Zn(Ⅱ) Coordination Polymer Based on a Flexible Polycarboxylate Ligand 5-(4-Hydroxypyridinium-1-ylmethyl)-isophthalic Acid: Synthesis, Structure, and Property

A Zn（Ⅱ） supramolecular coordination polymer, {[Zn2（L）2（m-bix）（H20）]6H2O}n（1）, with an interesting 1D→2D polythreading array from a flexible and angular organic aromaticpolycarboxylate ligand 5-（4-hydroxypyridinium-l-ylmethyl）isophthalic acid （H2L）, and N-donorligand 1,3-bis（imidazol-l-ylmethyl）benzene （m-bix）, has been obtained under hydrothermalconditions and characterized by elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction （PXRD）, IR, thermalgravimetric analyses （TGA） and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In 1, the Zn（Ⅱ） center has twocoordination geometries. One exhibits a trigonal bipyramidal coordination sphere, and the other isa tetrahedral geometry; L2- has two different coordination modes, with one connecting three Zn（Ⅱ）ions through two monodentate carboxylate groups and the monodentate hydroxyl group, and theother bridging two Zn（Ⅱ） ions through two carboxylate groups. The L2- anions connect the Zn（Ⅱ）centers forming an infinite 1D tubular structure. These 1D tubes are interconnected by the m-bixspacers to form a 2D framework. Such 2D layers are further assembled into a 3D supramolecularnetwork via hydrogen bonds. Meanwhile, the luminescent property of 1 has also been investigatedin detail.

Screening of chemokine receptor CCR4 antagonists by capillary zone electrophoresis

CC chemokine receptor 4(CCR4)is a kind of G-protein-coupled receptor,which plays a pivotal role in allergic inflammation.The interaction between 2-(2-(4-chloro-phenyl)-5-{[(naphthalen-1-ylmethyl)-carbamlyl]-methyl-4-oxo-thiazolidin-3-yl)-N-(3-morpholin-4-yl-propyi)-acetamide(S009)and the N-terminal extracellular tail(ML40)of CCR4 has been validated to be high affinity by capillary zone electrophoresis(CZE).The S009 is a known CCR4 antagonist.Now,a series of new thiourea derivatives have been synthesized.Compared with positive control S009,they were screened using ML40 as target by CZE to find some new drugs for allergic inflammation diseases.The synthesized compounds XJH-5,XJH-4,XJH-17 and XJH-1 displayed the interaction with ML40,but XJH-9,XJH-10,XJH-I 1,XJH-12,XJH-13,XJH-14,XJH-3,XJH-8,XJH-6,XJH-7,XJH-15,XJH-16 and XJH-2 did not bind to ML40.Both qualification and quantification characterizations of the binding were determined.The affinity of the four compounds was valued by the binding constant,which was similar with the results of chemotactic experiments.The established CEZ method is capable of sensitive and fast screening for a series of lactam analogs in the drug discovery for allergic inflammation diseases.
