In recent years, the Li metal anode has regained a position of paramount research interest because of the necessity for employing Li metal in next‐generation battery technologies such as Li‐S and Li‐O2. Severely limiting this utilization, however, are the rapid capacity degradation and safety issues associated with rechargeable Li metal anodes. A fundamental understanding of the failure mechanism of Li metal at high charge rates has remained elusive due to the complicated interfacial chemistry that occurs between Li metal and liquid electrolytes. Here, it is demonstrated that at high current density the quick formation of a highly resistive solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) entangled with Li metal, which grows towards the bulk Li, dramatically increases up the cell impedance and this is the actual origin of the onset of cell degradation and failure. This is instead of dendritic or mossy Li growing outwards from the metal surface towards/through the separator and/or the consumption of the Li and electrolyte through side reactions. Interphase, in this context, refers to a substantive layer rather than a thin interfacial layer. Discerning the mechanisms and consequences for this interphase formation is crucial for resolving the stability and safety issues associated with Li metal anodes.

Authors: Lee Ansoo , So Soon Mog , Lough Alan J. , Kim Hyunwoo , Chin Jik
Published: September 2014

“Mother diamine” (MD) or 1,2‐bis(2‐hydroxy‐phenyl)ethylenediamine can be rapidly transformed to a wide variety of chiral ligands including vicinal diamines and analogs of binol (MDdiol), binap (MDdiphos), and monophos (MDphos). The reactivity and stereoselectivity of the MDphos ligands in Rh‐catalyzed hydrogenation are highly sensitive to the N,N′‐dialkyl substituents.

Published: September 2014

Background

The decision to continue medical therapy or recommend endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) can be challenging in patients with refractory chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The objective of this study was to evaluate continued medical therapy vs ESS for patients with refractory CRS who have severe reductions in baseline disease‐specific quality of life (QoL).

Methods

This was a prospective longitudinal crossover study between August 2011 and June 2013. All patients were >18 years old, diagnosed with CRS based on guideline recommendations, failed initial medical therapy and elected ESS. While waiting for ESS, all patients received continued medical therapy. The preoperative waiting period outcomes (continued medical therapy) were compared to the postoperative outcomes. The primary outcome was change in disease‐specific QoL (22‐item Sinonasal Outcome Test [SNOT‐22]). Secondary outcomes were change in endoscopic grading (Lund‐Kennedy score), medication consumption, and work days missed in the preceding 90 days.

Results

Thirty‐one patients were enrolled. Mean baseline SNOT‐22 score was 57.6. After a mean of 7.1 months of continued medical therapy, there was a worsening in SNOT‐22 score (57.6 to 66.1; p = 0.006). After ESS, with a mean postoperative follow‐up of 14.6 months, there was a significant improvement in SNOT‐22 score (66.1 to 16.0; p < 0.001). There was also a significant improvement in endoscopic grading (p < 0.001) coupled with a reduction in both work days lost (p < 0.001) and medication consumption (p < 0.01).

Conclusion

Results from the study suggest that ESS is a more effective intervention compared to continued medical therapy for patients with refractory CRS who have severe reductions in their baseline disease‐specific QoL.
Synthesis of a Natural Product‐Like Compound Collection through Oxidative Cleavage and Cyclization of Linear Peptides
Authors: Petersen Rico , Le Quement Sebastian T. , Nielsen Thomas E.
Published: September 2014

Massive efforts in molecular library synthesis have strived for the development of synthesis methodology which systematically delivers natural product‐like compounds of high spatial complexity. Herein, we present a conceptually simple approach that builds on the power of solid‐phase peptide synthesis to assemble precursor peptides (oligomers) designed to undergo oxidative cascade reactions. By harnessing the structural side‐chain diversity and inherent stereochemical features offered by readily available amino acids (monomers), a proof‐of‐concept collection of 54 skeletally and stereochemically diverse compounds was generated, and selected compounds were elaborated into isoform‐selective metalloprotease inhibitors.

Authors: Zhang Mei , Zhang Ming‐Tian , Hou Cheng , Ke Zhuo‐Feng , Lu Tong‐Bu
Published: September 2014

The development of an earth‐abundant, first‐row water oxidation catalyst that operates at neutral pH and low overpotential remains a fundamental chemical challenge. Herein, we report the first nickel‐based robust homogeneous water oxidation catalyst, which can electrocatalyze water oxidation at neutral pH and low overpotential in phosphate buffer. The results of DFT calculations verify that the OO bond formation in catalytic water oxidation prefers a HOOH coupling mechanism from a cis‐isomer of the catalyst.

Polyketide werden typischerweise über die Kopf‐Schwanz‐Kondensation von Acyl‐Thioestern gebildet, wobei hoch funktionalisierte lineare Ketten gebildet werden. Bei der Biosynthese des Phytotoxins Rhizoxin dagegen führt ein spezielles Polyketidsynthase(PKS)‐Modul über die Michael‐Addition einer Malonyleinheit an ein α,β‐ungesättigtes Intermediat eine δ‐Lacton‐Kettenverzweigung ein. Um die Substratspezifität des Moduls zu testen, haben wir verschiedene Polyketidmimetika synthetisiert und in einem In‐vitro‐Assay mit dem rekonstituierten PKS‐Modul aus dem Rhizopus‐Symbionten Burkholderia rhizoxinica untersucht. Wir haben den Einfluss der δ‐Substituenten und ihrer Konfiguration untersucht und festgestellt, dass aus Amino‐substituierten Polyketidmimetika die entsprechenden Lactame gebildet werden. Das analoge Carbonsäureamid hingegen wird in ein Glutarimid überführt, eine Struktureinheit, die in zahlreichen Naturstoffen zu finden ist.
Nucleation parameter and size distribution of critical nuclei for nonisothermal polymer crystallization: The influence of the cooling rate and filler
Authors: Kocic Nikola , Lederhofer Sara , Kretschmer Karsten , Bastian Martin , Heidemeyer Peter
Published: September 2014

The nucleation parameter Kg of filled PP, HDPE, and PA6 is determined through nonisothermal DSC measurements. A novel method is proposed for the determination of the size distribution of critical nuclei, where the most commonly found fraction
was obtained as a peak value. The models are tested at different cooling rates and different filler loadings. Kg varies up to a certain cooling rate and afterwards remains constant. The introduction of talc in PP and HDPE facilitates nucleation and thus reduces Kg. An opposite trend occurs upon the addition of bentonite in PA6. The changes of Kg and
are reflected on sample morphology, as confirmed with SAXS. The ratio between the final crystal thickness and
amounts to approx. 2 and thus agrees well with the one listed in literature. The simple linear correlations of the obtained Kg are established with Young's modulus and yield stress. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2015, 132, 41433.

Published: September 2014

Amination of CH bonds catalyzed by transition metal complexes via nitrene/imide insertion is an appealing strategy for CN bond formation, and the use of iminoiodinanes, or their in situ generated forms from ‘PhI(OAc)2+primary amides (such as sulfonamides, sulfamates, and carbamates)’, as nitrogen sources for the amination reaction has been well documented. In this work, a ‘metal catalyst+PhI(OAc)2+primary arylamines’ amination protocol has been developed using [Fe(F20TPP)Cl] (H2F20TPP=meso‐tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin) as a catalyst. This catalytic method is applicable for both intra‐ and intermolecular amination of sp2 and sp3 CH bonds (>27 examples), affording the amination products, including natural products such as rutaecarpine, in moderate‐to‐good yields. ESI‐MS analysis and DFT calculations lend support for the involvement of {[Fe(F20TPP)(NC6H4‐p‐NO2)](PhI=NC6H4‐p‐NO2)} intermediate in the catalysis.

An organocatalyzed diastereo‐ and enantioselective cascade aza‐Michael/Michael addition of 2‐tosylaminoenones to unsaturated pyrazolones has been developed to afford novel chiral spiropyrazolone tetrahydroquinolines containing three contiguous stereocenters. This cascade reaction proceeded well with 2 mol % chiral bifunctional tertiary amine squaramide catalyst to give the desired products in excellent yields (up to 99 %) with excellent diastereoselectivity (up to >25:1 diastereomeric ratio) and high enantioselectivity (up to 91 % enantiomeric excess).
Mechanistic Origin of Chemoselectivity in Thiolate‐Catalyzed Tishchenko Reactions
Authors: Yu Hai‐Zhu , Tian Xue‐Jiao , Lin Xiang , Hu Guo‐Hua , Dang Zhi‐Min
Published: September 2014

The thiolate‐catalyzed Tishchenko reaction has shown high chemoselectivity for the formation of double aromatic‐substituted esters. In the present study, the detailed reaction mechanism and, in particular, the origin of the observed high chemoselectivity, have been studied with DFT calculations. The catalytic cycle mainly consisted of three steps: 1,2‐addition, hydride transfer, and acyl transfer steps. The calculation results reproduce the experimental observations that 4‐chlorobenzaldehyde acts as the hydrogen donor (carbonyl part in the ester product), while 2‐methoxybenzaldehyde acts as the hydrogen acceptor (alcohol part in the product). The two main factors are responsible for such chemoselectivity: 1) in the rate‐determining hydride transfer step, the para‐chloride substituent facilitates the hydride‐donating process by weakening the steric hindrance, and 2) the ortho‐methoxy substituent facilitates the hydride‐accepting process by stabilizing the magnesium center (by compensating for the electron deficiency).
Output Feedback Control of a Dual‐Excenter Vibration Actuator via qLPV Model and TP Model Transformation
Authors: Kuti József , Galambos Péter , Miklós Ákos
Published: September 2014

Vibration actuators are widely used in handheld devices to provide vibrotactile feedback or silent notification to the users. In most cases, miniature DC motors with eccentric rotors or the so‐called coin‐type shaftless vibration motors are utilized. The common disadvantage of the single rotor designs is that the frequency and the intensity of the generated vibration cannot be adjusted separately. The construction composed of two independently driven coaxial eccentric rotors – which makes a strongly coupled nonlinear system – allows for the separate control of the frequency and amplitude by the adjustment of the angular speed and the total eccentricity. This paper presents a complete control design approach based on quasi‐linear parameter varying (qLPV) modelling and linear matrix inequality (LMI)‐based synthesis utilizing the tensor product (TP) model transformation to determine the convex polytopic representation of the parameter dependent nonlinear system. The design approach is demonstrated via a concrete numerical example using the parameters of a real dual‐excenter prototype device. The control performance is validated through numerical simulations. This case study goes through a complete nonlinear control problem from the modelling phase to the implementation‐ready controller, while drawing generalizable conclusions for qLPV modelling.

Published: September 2014

Using daily rainfall data from 183 stations, influences of the Madden‐Julian Oscillation (MJO) on precipitation over southern Iran are examined. When composites of daily rainfall anomalies are constructed by introducing eight phases in the time evolution, wet conditions are observed in MJO phases 1–2 and 7–8. During these phases, atmospheric circulation anomalies favor moisture advection from the western Indian Ocean to southern Iran. In contrast, dry conditions during MJO phases 3 to 6 are associated with advection of drier air from the north.

Published: September 2014

Nanoparticles with the nominal composition Ca0.8Ba0.2Ti03:Pr3+ were prepared using the sol–gel process. Barium nitrate, 4‐hydrated calcium nitrate and praseodymium oxide were used as raw materials. The structural evolution and decomposition processes of the precursors were investigated by powder X‐ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis and thermogravimetric analysis. Crystalline Ca0.8Ba0.2Ti03:Pr3+ could be obtained at 700°C. The photoluminescence properties of the samples were investigated using excitation and emission spectra. Ca0.8Ba0.2Ti03:Pr3+ nanoparticles showed strong red emission, which could be assigned to the typical 1D2→3H4 transition of Pr3+. Furthermore, the study found that sintering temperature and the introduction of Ba2+ influence the decay time of persistent luminescence. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Revisiting size‐exclusion chromatography for measuring structural changes in raw and pretreated mixed hardwoods and switchgrass
Authors: Yang Dong , Parlange Jean‐Yves , Walker Larry P.
Published: September 2014

The study of the biomass porous structure and its role in defining the accessibility of cell‐wall‐degrading enzymes (CWDEs) to the substrate is very important for understanding the cellulase‐cellulose reaction system. Specific pore volume and specific surface area are two important measures of accessibility and a variety of methods have been used to make these measurements. For this study a size exclusion chromatography system was developed to measure specific pore volume and specific surface areas for raw and pretreated mixed‐hardwood and switchgrass. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) probes of known molecular diameter (1.8–13 nm) were allowed to diffuse into the pore structure of the various biomass substrate packed in the column and subsequently eluted to generate high resolution concentration measurements with excellent reproducibility. Replicate measurements of probe concentrations from this system consistently yielded coefficient of variance of less than 1.5%. Our results showed that particle size reduction had a smaller influence on the specific pore volume distribution of raw mixed‐hardwoods, whereas for switchgrass the larger particles yielded a significantly lower estimate for the pore volume distribution compared to the smaller particles. Our results also clearly showed that our bi‐phasic pretreatment yielded the largest increase in pore volume accessibility for mixed‐hardwoods relative to switchgrass. From these results a pore size change mechanism was proposed that could explain the influence of size reduction and pretreatment on pore volume measurements. Biotechnol.

Published: September 2014

Most of the biological effects of androgen hormones are mediated through an intracellular transcription factor, the androgen receptor (AR). This protein presents a long disordered N‐terminal domain (NTD), known to aggregates into amyloid fibers.1 This aggregation property is usually associated with the presence of a poly‐glutamine tract (polyQ), known to be involved in several pathologies.2 The NTD has gain interest recently because potential anti‐prostate‐cancer molecules could target this domain.3 Here, we characterize a conserved region of the NTD (distal from polyQ); it promotes the formation of amyloid fibers under mild oxidative conditions. Unlike most fibrils, which are irreversibly aggregated, the free peptides can be restored from the fibril by the addition of a reducing agent.
Continuous Nanofiltration and Recycle of a Metathesis Catalyst in a Microflow System
Authors: O'Neal Everett J. , Jensen Klavs F.
Published: September 2014

Continuous‐flow nanofiltration and recycle of a metathesis catalyst is demonstrated in a small‐scale continuous‐flow system using less than 2 mg of catalyst in 50 h of operation. This length of time corresponds to an average of approximately 70 recycle experiments, where catalyst is partially removed and replaced during each cycle. The small‐scale (2.9 mL total system volume) continuous‐flow catalyst recycle system includes the first fully functional microfluidic organic solvent nanofiltration module using polyimide membranes, a stirred holding tank (<1 mL volume) with a liquid‐level control system to respond to membrane‐flux decline, a membrane reactor using Teflon AF for permeation of the ethylene byproduct, and automated sampling. A turnover number of 935 is obtained for the Hoveyda–Grubbs catalyst. Ruthenium contamination in the product remains less than 1 ppm throughout each experimental run.

Effects of Contamination and Power‐Law Fluid Viscosity on Heat Transfer Phenomena of Spherical Bubbles
Authors: Nalajala Venkata Swamy , Kishore Nanda
Published: September 2014

Heat transfer phenomena of spherical bubbles in unbounded contaminated power‐law liquids were numerically studied within the framework of a stagnant spherical cap model by solving the governing conservation equations of mass, momentum, and energy using a segregated approach. The governing equations were solved with the semi‐implicit method for pressure‐linked equations. The momentum terms were discretized by quadratic upstream interpolation for convective kinematics. Isotherm contours reveal that the thermal boundary layer becomes thinner with the decreasing power‐law index and/or the stagnant cap angle. The surface Nusselt number distributions indicate a sudden decrease at the leading edge of the stagnant cap and this reduction is found to be a strong function of all pertinent parameters. The average Nusselt numbers of contaminated spherical bubbles rise with the smaller cap angle and/or the lower power‐law index.

Six substitutionally inert [RuII(bipy)2dppz]2+ derivatives (bipy=2,2′‐bipyridine, dppz=dipyrido[3,2‐a:2′,3′‐c]phenazine) bearing different functional groups on the dppz ligand [NH2 (1), OMe (2), OAc (3), OH (4), CH2OH (5), CH2Cl (6)] were synthesized and studied as potential photosensitizers (PSs) in photodynamic therapy (PDT). As also confirmed by DFT calculations, all complexes showed promising 1O2 production quantum yields, well comparable with PSs available on the market. They can also efficiently intercalate into the DNA double helix, which is of high interest in view of DNA targeting. The cellular localization and uptake quantification of 1–6 were assessed by confocal microscopy and high‐resolution continuum source atomic absorption spectrometry. Compound 1, and especially 2, showed very good uptake in cervical cancer cells (HeLa) with preferential nuclear accumulation. None of the compounds studied was found to be cytotoxic in the dark on both HeLa cells and, interestingly, on noncancerous MRC‐5 cells (IC50>100 μM). However, 1 and 2 showed very promising behavior with an increment of about 150 and 42 times, respectively, in their cytotoxicities upon light illumination at 420 nm in addition to a very good human plasma stability. As anticipated, the preferential nuclear accumulation of 1 and 2 and their very high DNA binding affinity resulted in very efficient DNA photocleavage, suggesting a DNA‐based mode of phototoxic action.
Chemical Speciation of Uranium(VI) in Marine Environments: Complexation of Calcium and Magnesium Ions with [(UO2)(CO3)3]4− and the Effect on the Extraction of Uranium from Seawater
Authors: Endrizzi Francesco , Rao Linfeng
Published: September 2014

The interactions of Ca2+ and Mg2+ with [UO2(CO3)3]4− were studied by calcium ion selective electrode potentiometry and spectrophotometry. The stability constants of ternary Ca‐UO2‐CO3 and Mg‐UO2‐CO3 complexes were determined with calcium ion selective electrode potentiometry and optical absorption spectrophotometry, respectively. The enthalpies of complexation for two successive complexes, [CaUO2(CO3)3]2− and [Ca2UO2(CO3)3](aq), were determined for the first time by microcalorimetry. The data help to revise the speciation of uranium(VI) species under seawater conditions. In contrast to the previously accepted assumption that the highly negatively charged [UO2(CO3)3]4− is the dominant species, the revised speciation indicates that the dominant aqueous uranium(VI) species under seawater conditions is the neutral [Ca2UO2(CO3)3](aq). The results have a significant impact on the strategies for developing efficient sorption processes to extract uranium from seawater.
Evaluating the Thermal Vinylcyclopropane Rearrangement (VCPR) as a Practical Method for the Synthesis of Difluorinated Cyclopentenes: Experimental and Computational Studies of Rearrangement Stereospecificity
Authors: Orr David , Percy Jonathan M. , Tuttle Tell , Kennedy Alan R. , Harrison Zoë A.
Published: September 2014

Vinyl cyclopropane rearrangement (VCPR) has been utilised to synthesise a difluorinated cyclopentene stereospecifically and under mild thermal conditions. Difluorocyclopropanation chemistry afforded ethyl 3‐(1′(2′2′‐difluoro‐3′‐phenyl)cyclopropyl) propenoate as all four stereoisomers (18a, 18b, 22a, 22b) (all racemic). The trans‐E isomer (18a), prepared in 70 % yield over three steps, underwent near quantitative VCPR to difluorocyclopentene 23 (99 %). Rearrangements were monitored by 19F NMR (100–180 °C). While cis/trans cyclopropane stereoisomerisation was facile, favouring trans‐isomers by a modest margin, no E/Z alkene isomerisation was observed even at higher temperatures. Neither cis nor trans Z‐alkenoates underwent VCPR, even up to much higher temperatures (180 °C). The cis‐cyclopropanes underwent [3,3]‐rearrangement to afford benzocycloheptadiene species. The reaction stereospecificity was explored by using electronic structure calculations, and UB3LYP/6‐31G* methodology allowed the energy barriers for cyclopropane stereoisomerisation, diastereoisomeric VCPR and [3,3]‐rearrangement to be ranked in agreement with experiment.

Published: September 2014

Two new dinuclear copper(II) metallacyclophanes with 1,4‐disubstituted 9,10‐anthraquinonebis(oxamate) bridging ligands are reported that can reversibly take and release electrons at the redox‐active ligand and metal sites, respectively, to give the corresponding mono‐ and bis(semiquinonate and/or catecholate) CuII2 species and mixed‐valent CuII/CuIII and high‐valent CuIII2 ones. Density functional calculations allow us to give further insights on the dual ligand‐ and metal‐based character of the redox processes in this novel family of antiferromagnetically coupled di‐ copper(II) anthraquinophanes. This unique ability for charge storage could be the basis for the development of new kinds of molecular spintronic devices, referred to as molecular magnetic capacitors (MMCs).
