Solvothermal Syntheses, Crystal Structures, Thermal Stability and Quantum Chemistry of Dinuclear Trialkyltin Complexes Constructed by Camphoric Acid

Two dinuclear organotin complexes C8H14（CO2SnCy3）2（1）（Cy = cyclohexyl group） and C8H14[CO2Sn（CH2CMe2Ph）3]2（2） were synthesized by the reactions of camphoric acid with tricyclohexyltin hydroxide and bis[tri（2-methyl-2-phenyl）propyltin] oxide under solvothermal conditions, and these complexes were characterized by infrared spectra, elemental analyses, and H NMR spectra. The crystal of 1 belongs to the monoclinic system, space group P21/c with a = 1.83478（19）, b = 1.52707（18）, c = 1.9849（2） nm, β = 122.515（7）°, Z = 4, V = 4.6896（9） nm^3, Dc = 1.324 g/cm^3, μ（MoKα） = 1.103 mm^-1, F（000） = 1952, R = 0.0697 and wR = 0.2040. In addition, thermal stability and quantum chemical calculation of 1 were also studied.

Continuous synthesis of ultrasmall core-shell upconversion nanoparticles via a flow chemistry method

A continuous synthesis method for the less than 10 nm core-shell upconversion nanoparticles was developed via coiled tube embedded flask reactors and a flow solvothermal co-participation reaction up to 300℃.Fast nucleation of hexagonal nanocrystals in less than 9 min residence time was achieved owing to the excellent heating ability of the reactors,and a two-step reaction strategy was created for the synthesis of β-NaYF4:Gd,Yb,Er/Ho/Tm@NaYF_(4) particles without intermediate purification.

Click synthesis and dye extraction properties of novel thiacalix[4]arene derivatives with triazolyl and hydrogen bonding groups

Using a click reaction between alkynylthiacalix[4]arene and ethyl 2-azidoacetate followed by an ammonolysis with ethanolamine,leucinol and hydrazine hydrate,respectively,three novel thiacalix [4]arene derivatives 4,5 and 6 with triazolyl and hydrogen bonding groups（NH and OH） were synthesized in high yields.They exhibited excellent extraction capability for six anionic and cationic dyes.The flexible cavity,π-triazole rings and hydrogen bonding groups all play crucial roles in dye complexation.

Novel hybrids from N-hydroxyarylamide and indole ring through click chemistry as histone deacetylase inhibitors with potent antitumor activities

Novel hybrid molecules 8a-8o were designed and synthesized by connecting indole ring with N- hydroxyarylamide through alkyl substituted triazole, and their in vitro biological activities were evaluated. It was discovered that most of target compounds showed promising anticancer activities, particularly for 8n, which had a significant HDACs inhibitory and antiproliferative activities comparable to or slightly stronger than SAHA against human carcinoma cells. Furthermore, compound 8n exhibited much better selectivity for HDAC1 over HDAC6 and HDAC8 than SAHA. In addition, compound 8n also could dose-dependently induce cancer cell cycling arrest at G0/G1 phase and promote the expression of the acetylation for histone H3 and tubulin in vitro. Therefore, our novel findings may provide a new framework for the design of new selective HDAC inhibitor for the treatment of cancer.
