Grayanane diterpenoids,which have intricate molecular architecture and interesting pharmacological properties,have attracted considerable interest of organic chemists since 1970s.However,the total syntheses of grayanane diterpenoids have been accomplished by only seven groups,which have mainly focused on the same carbon skeleton.Herein,we disclose the bioinspired total syntheses of six grayanane diterpenoids with three distinct carbon skeletons:grayanotoxins II/III,kalmanol,and rhodomollacetals A–C.Among them,the total syntheses of rhodomollacetals A–C were achieved for the first time.The total syntheses feature a Ni-catalyzedα-vinylation ofβ-ketoester to construct a bicyclo[3.2.1]octane ring system,an intramolecular Pauson–Khand reaction of enyne to construct a 7/5-bicyclic ring system,a biomimetic 1,2-rearrangement of grayanane-type 5/7/6/5 skeleton to generate kalmane-type 5/8/5/5 skeleton,and a biomimetic oxidative cleavage of C2–C3 and C5–C6 bonds/skeletal reconstruction to construct a rhodomollacetal A skeleton.
Three zincand cobaltcoordination polymers,namely{[Zn_(2)(μ_(6)-adip)(phen)_(2)]·4H_(2)O}_(n)(1),{[Co_(2)(μ_(6)-adip)(bipy)_(2)]·4H_(2)O}_(n)(2),and[Co_(2)(μ4-adip)(μ-bpa)_(2)]_(n)(3)have been constructed hydrothermally using H4adip(H4adip=5,5′-azanediyldiisophthalic acid),phen(phen=1,10-phenanthroline),bipy(bipy=2,2′-bipyridine),bpa(bpa=bis(4-pyridyl)amine),and zinc and cobalt chlorides at 160℃.The products were isolated as stable crystalline solids and were characterized by IR spectra,elemental analyses,thermogravimetric analyses,and single-crystal X-ray diffrac-tion analyses.Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses revealed that three compounds crystallize in the orthorhom-bic system Pnna(1 and 2)or P21212(3)space groups.All compounds exhibit 3D frameworks.The catalytic perfor-mances in the Henry reaction of these compounds were investigated.Compound 3 exhibited an effective catalytic activity in the Henry reaction at 70℃.CCDC:2339391,1;2339392,2;2339393,3.

Two new coordination polymers,[Ni(Hpdc)(bib)(H_(2)O)]_(n)(1)and{[Ni(bib)_(3)](ClO_(4))_(2)}_(n)(2),were prepared by mixing Ni^(2+),3,5⁃pyrazoledicarboxylic acid(H3pdc)/p⁃nitrobenzoic acid and 1,4⁃bis(imidazol⁃1⁃ylmethyl)butane(bib)by a hydrothermal method,respectively.X⁃ray crystallography reveals a 2D network constructed by six⁃coordinated Ni(Ⅱ)centers,bib,and Hpdc2-ligands in complex 1,while a 2D network is built by Ni(Ⅱ)and bib ligands in 2.Furthermore,the quantum⁃chemical calculations have been performed on‘molecular fragments’extracted from the crystal structure of 1 using the PBE0/LANL2DZ method in Gaussian 16 and the VASP program.CCDC:2343794,1;2343798,2.
Lanthanide complex-based materials with magnetic and luminescent properties have received a great deal of attention,owing to their importantly potential applications in diverse fields.In this work,the 9-anthracenecarboxylic acid(9-Haca)as bridging ligand was applied in combination with optically activeπ-conjugated 2,4,6-tri(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine(tptz)to construct a series of new di-nuclear and tetranuclear lanthanide 9-anthracenecarboxylates[La_(2)(9-aca)_(6)(tptz)_(2)(μ-H_(2)O)]·0.25H_(2)O(1),[Ln_(2)(9-aca)_(6)(tptz)_(2)(H_(2)O)_(2)]·0.5AQ·CH_(3)COOH_(2)H_(2)O[Ln=Sm(2a),Eu(2b),Gd(2c),Tb(2d),Dy(2e),Tm(2f);AQ=9,10-anthracenedione]and[Ln_(4)(9-aca)_(10)(tptz)_(2)(CH3COO)2]·H_(2)O[Ln=Eu(3a),Gd(3b),Dy(3c)].1 displays a di-nuclear centrosymmetric moiety[La_(2)(9-aca)_(6)(tptz)_(2)(μ-H_(2)O)]built up from two complex[La(9-aca)_(2)(tptz)]groups bridged by one H_(2)O molecule and two syn-syn-μ2-η1:η1-9-aca-bridging ligands,while 2a-2f are isostructural and co mprise another di-nuclear centrosymmetric moieties[Ln_(2)(9-aca)_(6)(tptz)_(2)(H_(2)O)_(2)]based on two complex[Ln(9-aca)_(2)(tptz)(H_(2)O)]groups connected by two syn-syn-μ2-η1:η1-9-aca-bridging ligands,3a-3c are isostructural and show tetra-nuclear centro symmetric moieties[Ln4(9-aca)10(tptz)2(CH3COO)2]containing three types of coordination modes of 9-aca-ligands.The present compounds offer the only examples of lanthanide 9-anthracenecarboxylates decorated by optically active tptz.Magnetic investigations of 2a,2c-2f,and 3b-3c indicate that 3c is typical of slow relaxation of the magnetization,while 2c and 3b show significant magnetocaloric effect(MCE)with the value of-ΔSm of 5.26 J/(kg·K)at 4 K and 15.65 J/(kg·K)at 2 K(ΔH=7 T),respectively.The luminescent properties were also studied and reveal that the characteristic luminescent properties of the 7r-conjugated aromatic ligands are introduced into magnetic lanthanide 9-anthracenecarboxylates,simultaneously exhibiting slow magnetic relaxation(or MCE)and luminescent properties.
Mimicking biosynthetic pathways of hongkonoids led to the development of a new Cu(Ⅰ)-catalyzed[3+2]cycloaddition ofα-hydroxyketone andβ-keto enol ethers,affording tetrahydrofuran acetals in a highly diastereoselective manner and 100%atom economy.Computational studies on the mechanism disclosed a concerted but asynchronous Michael addition/aldol reaction.Of the same importance,this methodology provides a practical biomimetic approach for one-step construction of the dibenzylbutyrolactol lignan backbone starting from two phenyl propane derivatives,opening up a powerful new approach for lignan synthesis,which is showcased by succinct total syntheses of two biologically important aryltetralin-type lignans,β-apopicropodophyllin and cycloolivil.Given the mild and operationally simple conditions,the developed chemistry might have a promising prospect in potential industrial applications.
The precise syntheses of transition-rare-earth metal clusters with desired structures remain a great challenge.Herein,by utilizing SO_(4)^(2-)anion released by in-situ decomposition of sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS)as a template,a series of novel high-nuclearity 3d-4f clusters,formulated as[Ni_(24)Pr_(22)(μ_(3)-OH)_(31)(pida)_(24)(SO_(4))_(4)(NO_(3))_(9)(CH_(3)COO)_(3)]·Br_(4)·(NO_(3))_(11)·_(16)H_(2)O·25CH_(3)OH(1,H_(2)pida=N-phenyliminodiacetic acid),[Ni_(24)Nd_(22)(μ3-OH)_(31)(pida)_(24)(SO_(4))_(4)(NO_(3))_(9)(CH_(3)COO)_(3)]·Br_(4)·(NO_(3))_(11)·14H_(2)O·24CH_(3)OH(2)and[Ni_(24)Gd_(22)(μ3-OH)_(36)(bida)_(24)(SO_(4))_(7)(NO_(3))_(3)(CH_(3)COO)_(3)]·(SO_(4))·Br_(4)·(NO_(3))_(4)·31H_(2)O·32CH_(3)OH(3,H_(2)bida=N-benzyliminodiacetic acid),have been successfully isolated.X-ray crystal structure analyses reveal that all the cationic{Ni_(24)RE_(22)}cores in 1-3 possess a ball-like structure with C_(3v)symmetry,and can be viewed as consisting of an inner{RE_(22)}core and an outer{Ni_(24)}shell.From 1 and 2 to 3,due to the lanthanide contraction effect,the coordination numbers for rare-earth metal centers in{RE_(22)}are different,resulting in different number of SO_(4)^(2-)and NO_(3)^(-)anions to support and stabilize the skeleton structures.Meanwhile,the magnetic properties of complexes 1-3 were also studied.The result revealed that complexes 1-3 show antiferromagnetic/ferrimagnetic interactions,and 3 exhibits magneto-caloric effect at ultralow temperatures with a maximum-ΔSm(magnetic entropy change)value of 33.03 J·kg^(−1)·K^(−1)at 3.0 K and 7 T.
Dynamic covalent imine reactions between 2,3-dimethoxy-[1,1:4,1-terphenyl]-3,3,5,5-tetracarbaldehyde(DMTT)and cyclohexanediamine,p-phenylenediamine,and benzidine,respectively,generate a porous organic cage(DMPOC)and two covalent organic frameworks(COFs),USTB-29,and USTB-30.DMPOC shows a[3+6]topological cage-like structure according to single crystal X-ray diffraction result.In contrast,both microcrystalline USTB-29 and USTB-30 exhibit two-dimensional monoporous structures in an eclipsed AA stacking style based on powder X-ray diffraction and theoretical simulations.In addition,DMPOC is capable of efficiently absorbing the iodine vapor with an outstanding uptake of 5.10 g/g,much higher than that of USTB-29(3.07 g/g)and USTB-30(3.16 g/g).Cage to COFs transformations have been realized from DMPOC to USTB-29 and USTB-30 via the imine bond exchange with slightly increased iodine vapor uptake.Mechanism investigations uncover that both nitrogen and oxygen atoms of POC and COFs contribute to iodine vapor capture due to the formation of charge transfer matter,and loose interaction introducing adaptive expanding voids of DMPOC is suggested to capture more iodine vapor than that of COFs with strongπ-πinteractions.
