Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Polyimides Based on Pyridine-containing Diamine

A new aromatic diamine monomer containing pyridine unit, 2,6-bis （4-aminophenoxy- 4＇-benzoyl）pyridine（BABP）, was synthesized in three steps, starting from 2,6-pyridinedicarboxyl chloride.

The crystal structure of bis{oxo bis[2 furylcarboxylatodibenzyltin(Ⅳ)]}(1) was determined by X ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to monoclinic space group P2 1/n, a =1 6641(2) nm, b =1 25073(18) nm, c =1 7193(3) nm, β= 101 951(2)° , Z=2, R 1=0 0446, wR 2=0 1100. Complex 1 is of a centrosymmetric dimer structure with a four membered central endo cyclic Sn 2O 2 unit in which the bridged oxygen atoms are tri coordinated. Each bridged oxygen atom also connects with an exo cyclic tin atom. The tin atoms are six coordinated and have a coordination geometry of a distorted octahedron. The exo cyclic tin atoms are five coordinated and have a coordination geometry of a monocapped trigonal bipyramid with a very similarly distorted mode. Four carboxylate ligands are divided into two types. The two of the four carboxylate ligands are bidentate and bridged to each pair of exo and endo cyclic tin atoms by using both the oxygen atoms. The other two are monodentate and bridged to each pair of exo and endo cyclic tin atoms but each utilizes one O atom only.

Removal of Heteroaromatic Sulfur Compounds by a Non-noble Metal Fe Single-atom Adsorbent

Sulfur-containing compounds(SCCs)must be removed from fuels before use.In this study,a novel non-noble metal Fe single-atom adsorbent(SA-Fe/CN)was synthesized using a core-shell strategy and applied for the adsorptive removal of benzothiophene(BT)and dibenzothiophene(DBT).The adsorption isotherms,thermodynamics,kinetics,and adsorption-regeneration cycles of DBT and BT on SA-Fe/CN were studied.SA-Fe/CN exhibited a significant capacity to adsorb DBT,and the isothermal equilibrium was well described by the Langmuir isotherm.The Gibbs free energy values were negative(ΔG^(0)<0),indicating that the adsorption of DBT and BT was favored and spontaneous.The adsorption process conformed to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model with high R^(2) values(0.9994,0.9987).The adsorption capacity of SA-Fe/CN for DBT and BT reached 163.21 mg/g and 90.35 mg/g,respectively,due to the highly active sites of the single atom and electrostatic interaction with the sulfide.Therefore,SA-Fe/CN may be a promising adsorbent for SCC removal.

General radical difluoromethylation using difluoroacetic anhydride via photoredox catalysis

CF_(2)H-containing molecules play pivotal roles in diverse fields from medicinal chemistry to materials science. However, the application of existing CF_(2)H reagents as a source of CF_(2)H radical is limited by their reactivity and preparation. Herein, we develop a simple and general visible-light-catalyzed radical difluoromethylation reaction of alkenes, dienes, and heteroaromatics using commercially available, easy-to-handle, and low-cost difluoroacetic anhydride as the CF_(2)H reagent. This scalable protocol enables the convenient synthesis of a range of CF_(2)H-containing compounds under mild conditions, exhibiting a broad substrate scope and functional group tolerance. Potential applications are further demonstrated by gram-scale synthesis, sunlight experiments, derivatization experiments as well as the synthesis of bioactive molecules.
