 1-16  Chemistry of Concerto Molecular Catalysis Based on the Metal/NH Bifunctionality
 T. Ikariya
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]  Free Access Article

The development of conceptually new bifunctional molecular catalysts based on metal–ligand cooperation is described. The concept of the bifunctional molecular catalysis is successfully applicable to asymmetric hydrogenation, dehydrogenative oxidation, and aerobic oxidation as well as enantioselective conjugate addition reactions.

[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]  [Supporting Information]  Free Access Article

Treatment of 3-alkyl-3-alkoxymethyloxetanes or 3-alkyl-3-siloxymethyloxetanes with trialkylsilanes in the presence of [Ru3{μ3-(η2,η3,η5-C12H8)}(CO)7] (1) led to ring-opening polymerization to afford functionalized polyoxetanes of Mn = 103–105. Chemical conversion of siloxy groups at the side chain afforded functionalized polyoxetanes.

 40-48  Synthesis of a Doubly Strapped Light-Harvesting Porphyrin Bearing Energy Donor Molecules Hanging on to the Straps: An Attempt toward Macroscopic Control over Molecular Conformation that Affects the Efficiency of Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer
 S. Ogi, K. Sugiyasu,* and M. Takeuchi*
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]  [Supporting Information]  Open Access Article

We report that a macroscopic stretching operation can dynamically control the molecular conformation of a light-harvesting molecule in an elastomeric film; as a consequence, we have succeeded in controlling its photophysical function that is very much a molecular level phenomenon.

 Y. Kuroda and K. Kuroda*
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]  [Supporting Information]

Hierarchically porous hollow spheres composed of dehydroxylated imogolite and carbonaceous materials were formed by using polystyrene particles as both templates and carbon sources, which was enabled by heat treatment at relatively low temperature.

 M. Kayanuma,* T. Ikeshoji, and H. Ogawa
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]

Hydrogen chemisorption on nitrogen-substituted coronenes is investigated at MP2//HF level to assess hydrogen storage. Results showed that the interaction energy between hydrogen and model compounds strongly depends on both the substituted sites of N and adsorbing position of H2.

 58-69  Derivation of Equations Describing Distance Solute Oscillation of Induced Solvent Polarization
 P.-K. Yang
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]

The $P_{\text{s}}^{\text{g}}(r)$ behaving as oscillating decay is observed from molecular dynamics simulations and cannot be reproduced from Gauss’s law of Maxwell’s equations. Here, the equations and an approximate analytical solution capturing the oscillating decay of $P_{\text{s}}^{\text{g}}(r)$ are derived for a spherical solute.

 M. Demizu, M. Harada, K. Saijo, M. Terazima, and Y. Kimura*
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]

Transport properties and solvation structures in mixtures of carbon dioxide and room-temperature ionic liquids have been studied by transient grating spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and small-angle X-ray scattering.

An X-ray structure analysis reveals that the present salt has a λ-type array of the donors. It exhibited metallic conducting behavior down to 5 K.

A series of coelenterazine analogs were synthesized to reveal the chemiluminescence maxima being substituent dependent. Chemiluminescence efficiencies were also proved to be substituent-sensitive, predominantly caused by the substituent-dependent fluorescence efficiencies of the light emitters.

A novel clovane, rumphellclovane B (1), which possesses an unprecedented δ-lactone moiety, and a new natural clovane, 9α-hydroxyclovan-2-one (2), were isolated from Rumphella antipathies. The structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. A plausible biosynthetic pathway between these two compounds was proposed. Compound 1 displayed inhibitory effects on superoxide anion generation by human neutrophils.

TPEN (N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine) derivatives with different ethylene moiety skeletons are designed and synthesized. The obtained product is subjected to radical copolymerization with N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPA) to afford polymer gel. Temperature-dependent extraction performance of TPEN derivatives and the corresponding polymer gels is compared at different temperatures and pH values.
