Auxiliary Ligands Mediated One- and Two-dimensional Cd(Ⅱ) Coordination Polymers Incorporating Methyl-3- hydroxy-5-carboxy-2-Thiophenecarboxylate Ligand

Two N-donor ligands mediated Cd（Ⅱ） coordination polymers, namely,[Cd（L）（dmpz）2]n （1） and {[Cd（L）（atr）05（H20）]（H2O）}n （2） （H2L = methyl-3-hydroxy-5-carboxy-2-thiophenecarboxylate, dmpz = 3,5-dimethylpyrazole, and atr= 4-amino-l,2,4-triazole）, havebeen produced. Their structures were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis,elemental analyses and infrared spectra. Compound 1 possesses a one-dimensional （1D） chainstructure and is finally extended into a three-dimensional （3D） supramolecular architecturethough hydrogen bonding interactions. Compound 2 features a two-dimensional （2D） networkwith 4-connected sql topology based on dinuclear Cd（Ⅱ） clusters as nodes, which is alsoassembled into a 3D supramolecular architecture through hydrogen bonding interactions.Furthermore, compounds 1 and 2 exhibit high thermal stabilities and intense fluorescent emissionin the solid, and can be explored as potential luminescent materials.

A New Chromone Derivative from Stellera chamaejasme L

A new chromone derivative, 3-[1- (2, 4, 6-trihydroxyphenyl) 3-di-(4-hydroxyphenyl) 1-propanone-2-yl] 5,7-dihydroxy-8-di(4-hydroxyphenyl)methyl-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one, named as isomohsenone was isolated from the roots of Stellera chamaejasme L. together with known chamaechromone. Its structure was determined by the analysis of MS and NMR data, especially 2D NMR spectra.

A new phenolic compound from Crinum asiaticum L.

A new phenolic compound was isolated from the ethanol extract of the bulbs of Crinum asiaticum L.var.sinicum Baker.Its structure was defined as 1-（2-hydroxy-4-hydroxymethyl）phenyl-6-O-caffeoyl-β-D-gluco-pyranoside on the basis of spectroscopic evidences.

Asymmetric synthesis of binaphthyls through photocatalytic crosscoupling and organocatalytic kinetic resolution

By capitalizing on the capability of photoredox catalysis to generate reactive radical intermediate under mild conditions, we established a photocatalytic cross-coupling protocol that could deliver both derivatives from 1-bromo-2-naphthols in combination with 2-naphthols or 2-naphthylamines. This distinct activation mode could overcome structural or electronic limitation associated with conventional coupling pathways. Additionally, a novel kinetic resolution protocol of unprotected BINOLs has been established with azodicarboxylates via chiral phosphoric acid(CPA) catalysis. Selectivity factor of up to 175 could be achieved and delivered to both enantiomers in atropisomerically enriched form after a simple work-up.
