Оценка экологической опасности рассеивания газопылевого облака при массовых взрывах в карьерах
Heteroanion
(HA) moieties have a key role in templating of heteropolyoxometalate
(HPA) architectures, but clusters templated by two different templates
are rarely reported. Herein, we show how a cross-shaped HPA-based
architecture can self-sort the HA templates by pairing two different
guests into a divacant {XYW<sub>15</sub>O<sub>54</sub>} building block,
with four of these building block units being linked together to complete
the cross-shaped architecture. We exploited this observation to incorporate
HA templates into well-defined positions within the clusters, leading
to the isolation of a collection of mixed-HA templated cross-shaped
polyanions [(XYW<sub>15</sub>O<sub>54</sub>)<sub>4</sub>(WO<sub>2</sub>)<sub>4</sub>]<sup>32–/36–</sup> (X = H–P, Y
= Se, Te, As). The template positions have been unambiguously determined
by single crystal X-ray diffraction, NMR spectroscopy, and high-resolution
electrospray ionization mass spectrometry; these studies demonstrated
that the mixed template containing HPA clusters are the preferred
products which crystallize from the solution. Theoretical studies
using DFT calculations suggest that the selective self-sorting originates
from the coordination of the template in solution. The cross-shaped
polyoxometalate clusters are redox-active, and the ability of molecules
to accept electrons is slightly modulated by the HA incorporated as
shown by differential pulse voltammetry experiments. These results
indicate that the cross-shaped HPAs can be used to select templates
from solution, and themselves have interesting geometries, which will
be useful in developing functional molecular architectures based upon
HPAs with well-defined structures and electronic properties
Synthesis and Characterization of a Series of [M<sub>2</sub>(β-SiW<sub>8</sub>O<sub>31</sub>)<sub>2</sub>]<sup><i>n</i>−</sup> Clusters and Mechanistic Insight into the Reorganization of {β-SiW<sub>8</sub>O<sub>31</sub>} into {α-SiW<sub>9</sub>O<sub>34</sub>}
Lacunary
polyoxometalates of low nuclearity are difficult to synthesize in
isolation. We report the facile synthesis of six {M<sub>2</sub>(B-β-SiW<sub>8</sub>O<sub>31</sub>)<sub>2</sub>} clusters (M = Co/Mn/Ni/Zn/Cu<sup>2+</sup>, Fe<sup>3+</sup>) that can be employed as building blocks
for the formation of larger architectures. We show for the first time
that such {B-β-SiW<sub>8</sub>O<sub>31</sub>} lacunae are capable
of reorganizing into larger Keggin lacunary species even in the absence
of an external source of tungstate. We hypothesize, based on electrospray
ionization mass spectrometry evidence obtained, not only that such
a transformation is only possible via an initial decomposition of
the {SiW<sub>8</sub>} precursor into a {SiW<sub>6</sub>}-based intermediate
but also that it is this {SiW<sub>6</sub>} species that acts as the
template for the growth of the larger fragments
Exploring the Assembly of Supramolecular Polyoxometalate Triangular Morphologies with Johnson Solid Cores: [(Mn<sup>II</sup>(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>(K⊂{α-GeW<sub>10</sub>Mn<sup>II</sup><sub>2</sub>O<sub>38</sub>}<sub>3</sub>)]<sup>19–</sup>
A new
polyoxometalate (POM) cluster compound is presented which incorporates
a trimeric assembly of Keggin-type germanotungstate fragments trapping
a Johnson-type solid {Mn<sub>8</sub>} core. The mixed K–Li
salt of the polyanion [(Mn<sup>II</sup>(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>(K⊂{α-GeW<sub>10</sub>Mn<sup>II</sup><sub>2</sub>O<sub>38</sub>}<sub>3</sub>)]<sup>19–</sup> was characterized
in the solid state and solution. The correlation of the assembly processes
and the observed architecture of the “trinity” family
of POMs is discussed
Protecting Group Free, Stereocontrolled Synthesis of β-Halo-enamides
Enamides, dienamides, and enynamides are important building
blocks
in synthetic, biological, and medicinal chemistry as well as materials
science. Despite the extensive breath of their potential utility in
synthetic chemistry, there is a lack of simple, high-yielding methods
to deliver them efficiently and as single isomers. In this paper,
we present a novel, protecting group free, efficient, and stereoselective
approach to the generation of β-halo-enamides. The methodology
presented provides a robust synthetic platform from which <i>E</i>- or <i>Z</i>-enamides can be generated in good
yields and with complete stereocontrol
Solution-Phase Monitoring of the Structural Evolution of a Molybdenum Blue Nanoring
The inorganic host–guest complex Na<sub>22</sub>{[Mo<sup>VI</sup><sub>36</sub>O<sub>112</sub>(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>16</sub>]⊂[Mo<sup>VI</sup><sub>130</sub>Mo<sup>V</sup><sub>20</sub>O<sub>442</sub>(OH)<sub>10</sub>(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>61</sub>]}·180H<sub>2</sub>O ≡ {Mo<sub>36</sub>}⊂{Mo<sub>150</sub>}, compound <b>1</b>, has been isolated in its solid
crystalline state via unconventional
synthesis in a custom flow reactor. Carrying out the reaction under
controlled flow conditions selected for the generation of {Mo<sub>36</sub>}⊂{Mo<sub>150</sub>} as the major product, allowing
it to be reproducibly isolated in a moderate yield, as opposed to
traditional “one-pot” batch syntheses that typically
lead to crystallization of the {Mo<sub>36</sub>} and {Mo<sub>150</sub>} species separately. Structural and spectroscopic studies of compound <b>1</b> and the archetypal Molybdenum Blue (MB) wheel, {Mo<sub>150</sub>}, identified compound <b>1</b> as a likely intermediate in
the {Mo<sub>36</sub>} templated synthesis of MB wheels. Further evidence
illustrating the template effect of {Mo<sub>36</sub>} to MB wheel
synthesis was indicated by an increase in the yield and rate of production
of {Mo<sub>150</sub>} as a direct result of the addition of preformed
{Mo<sub>36</sub>} to the reaction mixture. Dynamic light scattering
(DLS) techniques were also used to corroborate the mechanism of formation
of the MB wheels through observation of the individual cluster species
in solution. DLS measurement of the reaction solutions from which
{Mo<sub>36</sub>} and {Mo<sub>150</sub>} crystallized gave particle
size distribution curves averaging 1.9 and 3.9 nm, consistent with
the dimensions of the discrete clusters, which allowed the use of
size as a possible distinguishing feature of these key species in
the reduced acidified molybdate solutions and to observe the templation
of the MB wheel by {Mo<sub>36</sub>} directly

Highly Efficient Synthesis of the Tricyclic Core of Taxol by Cascade Metathesis
An efficient enantioselective
synthesis of the ABC tricyclic core
of the anticancer drug Taxol is reported. The key step of this synthesis
is a cascade metathesis reaction, which leads in one operation to
the required tricycle if appropriate fine-tuning of the dienyne precursor
is performed
Synthetic Considerations in the Self-Assembly of Coordination Polymers of Pyridine-Functionalized Hybrid Mn-Anderson Polyoxometalates
The
incorporation of polyoxometalates (POMs) as structural units
into ordered porous constructs such as metal–organic frameworks
(MOFs) is desirable for a range of applications where intrinsic properties
inherited from both the MOF and POM are utilized, including catalysis
and magnetic data storage. The controlled self-assembly of targeted
MOF topologies containing POM units is hampered by the wide range
of oxo and hydroxo units on the peripheries of POMs that can act as
coordinating groups toward linking metal cations leading to a diverse
range of structures, but incorporation of organic donor units into
hybrid POMs offers an alternative methodology to programmably synthesize
POM/MOF conjugates. Herein, we report six coordination polymers obtained
serendipitously wherein Zn<sup>2+</sup> and Cu<sup>2+</sup> link pyridine-appended
Mn-Anderson clusters into two- and three-dimensional network solids
with complex connectivities and topologies. Careful inspection of
their solid-state structures has allowed us to identify common structure-directing
features across these coordination polymers, including a square motif
where two Zn<sup>2+</sup> cations bridge two POMs. By correlating
certain structural motifs with synthetic conditions, we have formulated
a series of design considerations for the self-assembly of coordination
polymers of hybrid POMs, encompassing the selection of reaction conditions,
coligands, and linking metal cations. We anticipate that these synthetic
guidelines will inform the future assembly of hybrid POMs into functional
MOF materials
