    Self-assembly from the predesigned Cu<sup>II</sup><sub>5</sub> secondary building unit (SBU) in the ternary Cu<sup>II</sup>–triazolate–sulfoisophthalate system generates three interesting magnetic samples: an open pillared-layer framework with nanosized Cu<sup>II</sup><sub>30</sub> metallamacrocycle-based sublayer (<b>1</b>), a (3,6)-connected 2-fold interpenetrating network consisting of alternating Cu<sup>II</sup><sub>5</sub> and Cu<sup>II</sup><sub>1</sub> cores (<b>2</b>), and a (4,8)-connected architecture constructed from centrosymmetric Cu<sup>II</sup><sub>7</sub> clusters and four-branched 5-sulfoisophthalate (sip<sup>3–</sup>) connectors (<b>3</b>). These various structures significantly result from the variable connectivity and the slight expansion of the predetermined conformationally flexible Cu<sup>II</sup><sub>5</sub> SBUs. Furthermore, these intriguing structural motifs in <b>1</b>–<b>3</b> essentially induce different magnetic phenomena. A field-dependent metamagnetic transition from antiferromagnetic ordering to weak ferromagnetism is observed in the frustrated Cu<sup>II</sup><sub>30</sub>-based sublayer of <b>1</b>. The paramagnetic Cu<sup>II</sup><sub>1</sub> core in <b>2</b> virtually contributes to an <i>S</i> = <sup>1</sup>/<sub>2</sub> spin ground state due to the completely compensated magnetic moment in the 1,2,3-triazolate (ta<sup>–</sup>)-bridged Cu<sup>II</sup><sub>5</sub> cluster containing ribbon. In contrast, strong antiferromagnetic interactions in the locally centrosymmetric Cu<sup>II</sup><sub>7</sub> cluster lead to an overall <i>S</i> = <sup>1</sup>/<sub>2</sub> spin ground state of <b>3</b>. Thus, the SBU-derived self-assembly strategy provides important hints for polymetallic cluster based high-dimensional magnetic materials, which also brings a new vision for the design and construction of novel functional materials

    Data_Sheet_1_Herbicidal Activity and Molecular Docking Study of Novel ACCase Inhibitors.PDF

    Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) is an important target enzyme for the development of new bleaching herbicides. On the basis of structure-activity relationships and active subunit combinations, a series of novel 2-phenyl-3-cyclohexanedione enol ester derivatives was designed and synthesized by coupling and acylation reactions. The preliminary biological tests indicated good post-emergent herbicidal activity at a dosage of 150–300 g ai/ha, superior to that of clethodim against barnyard grass. Compound 3d was safe with respect to maize, even at a dosage of 300 g ai/ha. Compound 3d showed the best ACCase inhibitory activity in vitro, with a value of 0.061 nmol h-1 mg-1 protein, superior to that of clethodim. Molecular docking modeling showed that compound 3d and clethodim had the same interactions with surrounding residues, leading to an excellent combination with the active pocket of ACCase. That may have been the mechanism responsible for the death of the barnyard grass. The present work suggests compound 3d as a potential lead structure for further development of novel ACCase inhibitors.</p

    Copper-Catalyzed Selective 1,2-Dialkylation of N‑Heteroarenes via a Radical Addition/Reduction Process: Application for the Construction of Alkylated Dihydroazaarenes Derivatives

    No full text
    A highly efficient Cu-catalyzed 1,2-difunctionalization of various N-heteroarenes was developed with ether and alkyl halide at ambient temperature. This transformation involves the combination of oxidative coupling by Cu/TBHP and reduction process by 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]­undec-7-ene. This method provides an efficient method to prepare various substituted dihydroazaarene derivatives via a free-radical process

    Solvent-dependent assembly of porous coordination polymers based on Keggin-type [SiW<sub>12</sub>O<sub>40</sub>]<sup>4–</sup>

    Two coordination polymers (CPs) based on Keggin-type [SiW12O40]4– (SiW12), [Zn2(bpy)2(SiW12O40)(DMF)8]·solvent (1) and [Zn2(bpy)(SiW12O40)(DMA)8]·2DMA (2) (bpy = 4,4′-bipyridine, DMF = N,N′-dimethylformamide; DMA = N,N′-dimethylacetamide), have been solvo-thermally synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, IR spectra, elemental analyses and thermogravimetric analyses. Both 1 and 2 are synthesized under similar conditions except DMF and DMA were used as the solvents for 1 and 2, respectively. Structural studies reveal that the supramolecular framework of 1 contains pumpkin-like voids, while 2 has a non-porous supramolecular framework. These results show that solvents play an important role in construction of the POM-based CPs. The luminescent properties for 1 and 2 have also been investigated.</p
