This study describes the first use of a bis(phosphoranyl)methanido aluminum hydride, [ClC(PPh2NMes)2AlH2] (2, Mes = Me3C6H2), for the catalytic hydroboration of CO2. Complex 2 was synthesized by the reaction of a lithium carbenoid [Li(Cl)C(PPh2NMes)2] with 2 equiv of AlH3·NEtMe2 in toluene at -78 °C. 2 (10 mol %) was able to catalyze the reduction of CO2 with HBpin in C6D6 at 110 °C for 2 days to afford a mixture of methoxyborane [MeOBpin] (3a; yield 78%, TOF 0.16 h-1) and bis(boryl)oxide [pinBOBpin] (3b). When more potent [BH3·SMe2] was used instead of HBpin, the catalytic reaction was extremely pure, resulting in the formation of trimethyl borate [B(OMe)3] (3e) [catalytic loading 1 mol % (10 mol %); reaction time 60 min (5 min); yield 97.6% (>99%); TOF 292.8 h-1 (356.4 h-1)] and B2O3 (3f). Mechanistic studies show that the Al-H bond in complex 2 activated CO2 to form [ClC(PPh2NMes)2Al(H)OC(O)H] (4), which was subsequently reacted with BH3·SMe2 to form 3e and 3f, along with the regeneration of complex 2. Complex 2 also shows good catalytic activity toward the hydroboration of carbonyl, nitrile, and alkyne derivatives.Although fullerenes were discovered nearly 35 years ago, scientists still struggle to isolate "single molecule" tubular fullerenes larger than C90. In similar fashion, there is a paucity of reports for pristine single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). In spite of Herculean efforts, the isolation and properties of pristine members of these carbonaceous classes remain largely unfulfilled. For example, the low abundance of spherical and tubular higher fullerenes in electric-arc extracts ( less then 0.01-0.5%) and multiplicity of structural isomers remain a major challenge. Biricodar molecular weight Recently, a new isolation protocol for highly tubular fullerenes, also called f ullertubes, was reported. Herein, we describe spectroscopic characterization including 13C NMR, XPS, and Raman results for purified [5,5] fullertube family members, D5h-C90 and D5d-C100. In addition, DFT computational HOMO-LUMO gaps, polarizability indices, and electron density maps were also obtained. The Raman and 13C NMR results are consistent with semiconducting and metallic properties for D5h-C90 and D5d-C100, respectively. Our report suggests that short [5,5] fullertubes with aspect ratios of only ∼1.5-2 are metallic and could exhibit unique electronic properties.The presence of solvent vapor in a differential mobility spectrometry (DMS) cell creates a microsolvating environment that can mitigate complications associated with field-induced heating. In the case of peptides, the microsolvation of protonation sites results in a stabilization of charge density through localized solvent clustering, sheltering the ion from collisional activation. Seeding the DMS carrier gas (N2) with a solvent vapor prevented nearly all field-induced fragmentation of the protonated peptides GGG, AAA, and the Lys-rich Polybia-MP1 (IDWKKLLDAAKQIL-NH2). Modeling the microsolvation propensity of protonated n-propylamine [PrNH3]+, a mimic of the Lys side chain and N-terminus, with common gas-phase modifiers (H2O, MeOH, EtOH, iPrOH, acetone, and MeCN) confirms that all solvent molecules form stable clusters at the site of protonation. Moreover, modeling populations of microsolvated clusters indicates that species containing protonated amine moieties exist as microsolvated species with one to six mentation induced by field heating and may play a role in preserving native-like ion configurations.Accurate description of finite-temperature vibrational dynamics is indispensable in the computation of two-dimensional electronic spectra. Such simulations are often based on the density matrix evolution, statistical averaging of initial vibrational states, or approximate classical or semiclassical limits. While many practical approaches exist, they are often of limited accuracy and difficult to interpret. Here, we use the concept of thermo-field dynamics to derive an exact finite-temperature expression that lends itself to an intuitive wavepacket-based interpretation. Furthermore, an efficient method for computing finite-temperature two-dimensional spectra is obtained by combining the exact thermo-field dynamics approach with the thawed Gaussian approximation for the wavepacket dynamics, which is exact for any displaced, distorted, and Duschinsky-rotated harmonic potential but also accounts partially for anharmonicity effects in general potentials. Using this new method, we directly relate a symmetry breaking of the two-dimensional signal to the deviation from the conventional Brownian oscillator picture.Understanding the effect of interfacial interactions between the protection motifs and gold cores on the stabilities of thiolate-protected gold nanoclusters is still a challenging task. Based on analyses of 95 experimentally crystallized and theoretically predicted thiolate-protected gold nanoclusters, we present a ring model to offer a deeper insight into the interfacial interactions for this class of nanoclusters. In the ring model, all the gold nanoclusters can be generically viewed as a fusion or interlocking of several [Aum(SR)n] (m = 4-8, 10, and 12 and 0 ≤ n ≤ m) rings. Guided by the ring model and the grand unified model, a new Au42(SR)26 isomer is predicted, whose total energy is lower than those of two previously crystallized isomers. The ring model offers a mechanistic understanding of the interactions between the protection ligands and gold cores and practical guidance on predicting new gold nanoclusters for future experimental synthesis and confirmation.Since the bullfrog H-ferritin L134P mutant in which leucine 134 is replaced with proline was found to exhibit a flexible conformation in the C3 axis channel, homologous ferritins with the corresponding mutation have often been studied in terms of a mechanism of iron release from the mineral core within the protein cavity. Meanwhile, a ferritin mutant with the flexible channel is an attractive material in developing a method to encapsulate functional molecules larger than mononuclear ions into the protein cavity. This study describes the clathrate with a horse spleen L-ferritin L134P mutant containing Prussian blue (PB) without a frequently used technique, disassembly and reassembly of the protein subunits. The spherical shell of ferritin was confirmed in a TEM image of the clathrate. The produced clathrate (PB@L134P) was soluble in water and reproduced the spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of PB prepared using the conventional method. The catalytic activity for an oxidoreductive reaction with H2O2, one of the major applications of conventional PB, was also observed for the clathrate.
