A Single Component Mutation Evolutionary Programming

In this paper, a novel evolutionary programming is proposed for solving the upper and lower bound optimization problems as well as the linear constrained optimization problems. There are two characteristics of the algorithm: first, only one component of the current solution is mutated in each iteration; second, it can solve the linear constrained optimization problems directly without converting it into unconstrained problems. By solving two kinds of the optimization problems, the algorithm can not only effectively find optimal or close to optimal solutions but also reduce the number of function evolutions compared with the other heuristic algorithms.     

Rb4Li2TiOGe4O12: A Titanyl Nonlinear Optical Material with the Widest Transparency Range

Practical mid‐infrared (MIR) coherent light beams generated by frequency conversion in nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals are indispensable in time‐resolved infrared vibrational spectroscopy, remote light detection and ranging, and free‐space communications. Herein, a new titanyl germanate Rb₄Li₂TiOGe₄O₁₂ (RLTG) MIR NLO crystal was obtained by heavier element substitution. It features a complicated structure network composed of compressed TiO₅ square pyramids and distorted GeO₄ tetrahedra, separated by Rb⁺ and Li⁺ cations. More importantly, RLTG exhibits concurrently short ultraviolet (0.28 μm) and long IR (5.58 μm) transmittance cutoffs, fully covering the atmospheric transparent window of 3–5 μm. Related to the short UV cutoff, it shows a higher laser‐induced damage threshold in comparison to commercial MIR NLO crystals, about twice that of KTiOPO₄ (KTP) and 50 times that of AgGaS₂ (AGS).     

Positively Charged Nanoaggregates Based on Zwitterionic Pillar[5]arene that Combat Planktonic Bacteria and Disrupt Biofilms

Bacterial biofilms are difficult to eradicate because they are less susceptible to antibiotics and more easily develop resistance. Therefore, there is an urgent need for new materials that can combat planktonic bacteria and disrupt established biofilms. To tackle this challenge, we design a multifunctional zwitterionic pillar[5]arene, which can self‐assemble into weakly positively charged nanoaggregates that exhibit antibacterial activity against Gram‐negative Escherichia coli (DH5α) and Gram‐positive Staphylococcus aureus (SH1000) bacterial strains in solution. In addition, the zwitterionic pillar[5]arene can efficiently disrupt pre‐existing Escherichia coli (DH5α) biofilms and kill the biofilm‐enclosed bacteria without rapid generation of resistance.     

Mechanistic Investigation and Conductance Modulation of a Metal-Molecule-Metal Junction via Extra Acid Addition

One important prerequisite for the fabrication of molecular functional device strongly relies on the understanding the conducting behaviors of the metal-molecule-metal junction that can respond to an external stimulus. The model Lewis basic molecule 4,4′-(pyridine-3,5-diyl)dibenzonitrile (DBP), which can react with Lewis acid and protic acid, was synthesized. Then, the molecular conducting behavior of DBP, DBP-B(C₆F₅)₃, and DBP-TfOH (DBP-B(C₆F₅)₃, and DBP-TfOH were produced by Lewis acid and protonic acid treatment of DBP) was researched and compared. Given that their identical physical paths for DBP, DBP-B(C₆F₅)₃, and DBP-TfOH to sustain charge transport, our results indicate that modifying the molecular electronic structure, even not directly changing the conductive physical backbone, can tune the charge transporting ability by nearly one order of magnitude. Furthermore, the addition of another Lewis base triethylamine (of stronger alkaline than DBP), to Lewis acid-base pair reverts the electrical properties back to that of a single DBP junction, that is constructive to propose a useful but simple strategy for the design and construction of reversible and controllable molecular device based on pyridine derived molecule.     

二氧化硅负载偏钨酸铵催化剂上邻苯二酚和甲醇气相单醚化反应

考察了SiO2负载的偏钨酸铵催化剂(AMT/SiO2)上邻苯二酚和甲醇气相单醚化反应的性能.结果表明,经533和573K焙烧的AMT/SiO2催化剂表现出较高的邻苯二酚转化率(97%)和主产物邻羟基苯甲醚的选择性(91%).程序升温脱附和吡啶吸附红外光谱结果表明,催化剂表面存在的弱酸-弱碱位是反应的活性中心.经533K焙烧制备的催化剂在反应最初46h内保持较高的稳定性,随着反应时间延长,邻苯二酚的转化率逐渐降低,但主产物的选择性基本保持不变.扫描电镜和差热热重分析结果表明,催化剂表面积炭是其活性下降的主要原因,采用适当的焙烧处理可以消除大部分积炭,从而部分恢复催化剂活性.     

H-MCM-22和H-MCM-36分子筛对苯与异丙醇烷基化反应的催化性能

由同一前驱体合成了H-MCM-22和H-MCM-36分子筛.采用X射线衍射、N2吸附、程序升温脱附和红外光谱等方法,结合不同的表面后处理手段,研究了分子筛的结构和表面酸性.结果表明,H-MCM-22的B酸中心主要分布在内表面,H-MCM-36的B酸中心主要分布在外表面.H-MCM-36的总B酸量小于H-MCM-22,但其外表面B酸量相对较大.在苯与异丙醇的烷基化反应中,两个分子筛都表现出较为优异的催化性能.与H-MCM-22相比,H-MCM-36具有更高的反应活性和稳定性,对主产物异丙苯具有更好的选择性.结合各种表征结果表明,两个分子筛的外表面B酸中心是苯与异丙醇烷基化反应的主要活性中心.     

Perfectly Encoding π-Conjugated Anions in the RE5(C3N3O3)(OH)12 (RE=Y,Yb, Lu) Family with Strong Second Harmonic Generation Response and Balanced Birefringence

Nonlinear optical (NLO) crystal, which simultaneously exhibits strong second-harmonic-generation (SHG) response and desired optical anisotropy, is a core optical material accessible to the modern optoelectronics. Accompanied by strong SHG effect in a NLO crystal, a contradictory problem of overlarge birefringence is ignored, leading to low frequency doubling efficiency and poor beam quality. Herein, a series of rare earth cyanurates RE₅(C₃N₃O₃)(OH)₁₂ (RE=Y, Yb, Lu) were successfully characterized by 3D electron diffraction technique. Based on a “three birds with one stone” strategy, they enable the simultaneous fulfillment of strong SHG responses (2.5–4.2× KH₂PO₄), short UV cutoff (ca. 220 nm) and applicable birefringence (ca. 0.15 at 800 nm) by the introduction of rare earth coordination control of π-conjugated (C₃N₃O₃)³⁻ anions. These findings provide high-performance short-wavelength NLO materials and highlight the exploration of cyanurates as a new research area.     

介孔炭负载铁基催化剂上醇与胺氧化偶合合成亚胺

亚胺是一类重要的含氮有机化合物,广泛应用于生物医药、精细化工和农业生产中.由于其分子中具有不饱和C=N双键,亚胺化合物可以通过不同化学过程(如氧化还原、加成、偶合等)合成多种衍生物.工业上合成亚胺普遍采用羰基化合物与胺偶合反应获得,由于该反应需要强酸作为催化剂和脱水剂,在应用中往往对设备造成不同程度的破坏.选择氧气或空气为氧化剂,通过醇与胺氧化偶合反应合成亚胺,其副产物只有水,是一条较为绿色的合成路线.近期研究表明,均相和负载型贵金属催化剂(如Pd,Pt和Au等)在该反应中表现出较好的低温催化性能,但需要在反应过程中添加大量碱性助剂.一些非贵金属氧化物催化剂如CeO2和MnOx/HAP等在该过程中表现出一定的催化活性,但其催化效率普遍较低,往往需要在24 h甚至更长反应时间实现～90％亚胺收率.因此仍需开发一些更为高效的非贵金属催化剂用于上述反应.本文以经过硝酸活化处理的有序多孔炭(CMK-3)为载体,制备了负载型氧化铁催化剂(FeOx/HCMK-3),考察了它在苯甲醇与苯胺氧化偶合合成亚胺反应中的催化性能,同时结合一系列表征手段研究了催化剂物理化学性质与其催化性能之间的关系.X射线衍射和氮吸附脱附结果显示,负载后的样品仍然保持了介孔炭原有的孔道结构,没有出现较大的氧化铁粒子;透射电镜、高角暗场扫描透射电镜及能量散射谱结果进一步显示,氧化铁物种相对均匀地分散在载体表面;程序升温还原结果显示,与块体氧化铁相比,FeOx/HCMK-3上的氧化铁物种(FeOx)更易被还原,这可能与氧化铁粒子较小有关.反应结果显示,在空气氛围中FeOx/HCMK-3能够高效催化醇与胺的氧化偶合反应,反应6h亚胺收率即达到98.8％.催化剂具有较高的稳定性,可多次循环使用,没有检测到铁物种流失.此外,FeOx/HCMK-3在多种苯甲醇衍生物与苯胺的氧化偶合反应中都表现出较好的催化性能.结合表征和反应结果可以推测,催化剂上的氧物种参与了反应过程,FeOx/HCMK-3催化剂具有较强的活化氧分子的能力,反应在该催化剂上可能遵循氧化-还原机理.该催化剂上醇与胺氧化偶合反应主要经历两个连续的反应过程:首先苯甲醇被FeOx/HCMK-3催化剂上的活泼氧物种氧化生成苯甲醛中间体;随后,在反应中生成的醛在催化剂上迅速与胺反应生成亚胺化合物,同时催化剂通过与空气中氧分子反应恢复到初始状态,完成整个催化循环.
