Decarboxylative Suzuki-Miyaura Coupling of (hetero)aromatic carboxylic acids using Iodine as the Terminal Oxidant
A novel methodology for the decarboxylative Suzuki-Miyaura-type coupling has been established. This process uses iodine or a bromine source as both the decarboxylation mediator and the terminal oxidant, thus avoiding the need for stoichiometric amounts of transition metal salts previously required. Our new protocol allows for the construction of valuable biaryl architectures through the coupling of (hetero)aromatic carboxylic acids with arylboronic acids. The scope of this decarboxylative Suzuki reaction has been greatly diversified, allowing for previously inaccessible non-ortho-substituted aromatic acids to undergo this transformation. The procedure also benefits from low catalyst loadings and the absence of stoichiometric transition metal additives.</p
Fluctuation in residual strain and dissipated energy of saturated sandstone under tiered cyclic loading.
To study the influence of cyclic stress on the nonlinear behavior of saturated sandstone, the residual strain properties and energy dissipation characteristics of the sandstone under tiered cyclic loading were experimentally investigated. The axial/radial residual deformation and energy dissipation characteristics of sandstone at different cyclic stress stages were analyzed in detail. By combining the mathematical statistics, fluctuation coefficients of the residual strain and energy dissipation, and correlation coefficients of axial/radial residual strain and energy dissipation were defined to describe the process. It was determined that these newly defined physical variables were closely related to the elastic-plastic state (or instability failure state) of the rock
Study on Macromolecular Rare Earth Complexes (IV)—Synthesis, Characterization and Fluorescent Properties of Rare Earth Complexes with Polymethyl Acrylic Acid
β-Cyclodextrin Modified Poly(Acrylonitrule-co-Acrylic Acid) Hydrogel for Thorium(IV) Adsorption
In this report, the β-CD(AN-co-AA) hydrogel was used to remove the thorium(IV) [Th(IV)] from the water system, and the new adsorbent was characterized through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The influences of contact time, pH value, ionic strength, solid-liquid ratio, initial Th(IV) concentration, and temperature on Th(IV) adsorption onto the functional hydrogel were researched. The results showed that the experimental data followed the Langmuir isotherm and the maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) for Th(IV) was 692 mg/g at pH 2.95, which approached the calculated (qe) 682 mg/g. The desorption capacity of Th(IV) in different HNO3 concentrations ranging from 0.005 to 0.5 M was also studied, and the percentage of the maximum desorption was 86.85% in the condition of 0.09 M HNO3. The selectivity of β-CD(AN-co-AA) hydrogel was also be studied, the results indicated that this material retained the good adsorption capacity to Th(IV) even when the Ca2+, Mg2+, or Pb2+ existed in the system. The findings indicate that β-CD(AN-co-AA) can be used as a new candidate for the enrichment and separation of Th(IV), or its analogue actinides, from large-volume solution in practical application
