 M. P. Kapoor and S. Inagaki*
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]  Free Access Article

The latest developments in periodic mesoporous organosilicas are summarized with an emphasis on the synthesis, extension of bridged organic groups, crystallization of pore walls, further chemical modification, and possible functions.

 1476-1488  Carbonylative Approaches to α,β-Unsaturated Acyl Radicals and α-Ketenyl Radicals. Their Structure and Applications in Synthesis
 I. Ryu,* Y. Uenoyama, and H. Matsubara
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]  Free Access Article

The carbonylation of vinyl radicals gives α,β-unsaturated acyl radicals. MO calculations predict that α,β-unsaturated acyl radicals and the isomeric α-ketenyl radicals are isomeric species that undergo interconversion. This represents a powerful resource for developing synthetic reactions using the reaction system.

 1489-1500  Photocatalytic Electron-Transfer Oxidation of Triphenylphosphine and Benzylamine with Molecular Oxygen via Formation of Radical Cations and Superoxide Ion
 K. Ohkubo, T. Nanjo, and S. Fukuzumi*
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]  [Supporting Information]  Free Access Article

9-Mesityl-10-methylacridinium ion (Acr+–Mes) acts as a photocatalyst for the oxygenation of triphenylphosphine with O2 via radical coupling of triphenylphosphine radical cation and O2•− to produce triphenylphosphine oxide. Photooxidation of benzylamine with O2 also occurs to yield PhCH2N=CHPh and hydrogen peroxide.

 1501-1508  Kinetic Study on the Free Radical-Scavenging and Vitamin E-Regenerating Actions of Caffeic Acid and Its Related Compounds
 K. Ohara,* Y. Ichimura, K. Tsukamoto, M. Ogata, S. Nagaoka, and K. Mukai
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]

Second-order rate constants for free radical-scavenging and vitamin E-regenerating reactions of caffeic acid and its related compounds were correlated to their oxidation potential. pH Dependence suggests that proton-dissociation equilibrium affects the radical-scavenging reaction.

 1509-1518  Analysis of Short-Time Transient Dynamics of a Diffusion-Controlled Reaction in a Hard-Sphere Fluid Based on Fokker–Planck–Kramers Equation
 K. Ibuki* and M. Ueno
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]

A theory based on the Fokker–Planck–Kramers equation reproduces the rate constants obtained from MD simulations over a wide density range. A small disagreement at very high densities is explained by non-Markovian effects.

[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]

A novel platinum–ruthenium complex ([2]2+) reacted with 2-aminoethanethiol to afford complex [4]2+, in which 2-aminoethanethiol bridges the Ru and Pt ions. Intramolecular substitution of dmso coordinated to Ru with the 2-aminoethanethiolato ligand coordinated to the Pt ion in complex [3]2+ also afforded complex [4]2+.
