αβα-Tripeptide that contains a cyclic β-amino acid with an eight-membered ring, a cis-2-aminocyclooct-5-enecarboxylic acid (cis-ACOE) or a cis-2-aminocyclooctanecarboxylic acid (cis-ACOC) displayed an 11/9-helical turn in the crystal state. The related α/β-peptide oligomers were shown to adopt 11/9-helical conformations in solution.

This work describes a chiral bifunctional squaramide/DBU sequential catalytic strategy for the enantioselective synthesis of nonfused chiral eight-membered O-heterocycles through the asymmetric addition of ynones to β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoesters followed by the regio- and diastereoselective cyclization of the adduct intermediates. Mechanistic experiments revealed that an isomerization process should be involved in the ring formation step, and the origin of the high regioselectivity and diastereoselectivity has also been elucidated by the DFT calculations.

Secondary-ion-promoted active site redistribution in molecular sieves: A strategy to enhance catalyst bifunctionality.

As the frontier of environmental catalysis, mercury removal by deNO unit over bifunctional catalyst has emerged. However, it is fundamentally challenging to achieve simultaneous NO and mercury removal in industrial flue gas due to the commercial selective catalytic reduction (SCR) molecular sieves' lack of demercuration active centers. Herein, we demonstrate an active site in situ reconfiguration approach to enhance the oxidation of elemental mercury and immobilize divalent mercury by modified commercial SCR catalysts.

Herein, we report a gold(I)-catalyzed cascade cyclization of azido-alkynes bearing an enol ester moiety, leading to indole-fused eight-membered rings. This method allows for the one-step construction of indole and tetrahydroazocin-4-one via an α-imino gold carbene intermediate. The resulting scaffold would be useful for accessing natural products with an eight-membered ring-fused indole moiety.

Among lanthanide-based single-molecule magnets (SMMs), erbium(III) is a Kramers ion, apart from dysprosium(III), which provides magnetic bistability in the presence of a suitable coordination environment. However, Er-based SMMs exhibit significantly less magnetic anisotropy than Dy because their prolate electronic density necessitates equatorially correlated ligands to minimize the charge contact with the Er atom. Here, in this work, we have computationally investigated the heteroleptic organometallic complexes with an Er(III) atom sandwiched between two distinct cyclic rings (five- and eight-membered) with the aim of tuning the magnetic anisotropy via exploiting the ligand field.

Ring Size Effects on the Structures of Sandwich Compounds with a Stoichiometry of CHM (M = Ti-Ni).

Center for Computational Quantum Chemistry, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia 30602, United States.

Ring size effects on geometries and electronic structures were investigated for the (C H )M(C H ) ( = 4, 5, or 6; = 8, 7, or 6; + = 12; M = Ti-Ni) systems using density functional theory. The lowest-energy CHM structures for the early transition metals titanium, vanadium, and chromium are the experimentally known singlet (η-CH)Ti(η-CH), doublet (η-CH)V(η-CH), and singlet (η-CH)Cr, respectively. The likewise experimentally known singlet (η-CH)Ti, doublet (η-CH)V, and singlet (η-CH)Cr(η-CH) are the second-lowest-energy structures with only a small energy difference between the two vanadium structures.
