    CuI-functionalized halloysite nanoclay as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for promoting click reactions: Combination of experimental and computational chemistry

    No full text
    Amine-functionalized halloysite nanotubes (HNTs-2 N) were prepared and further modified by introduction of salicylaldehyde and formation of imine functionality (HNTs-2 N-Sal). The latter was subsequently used for immobilization of CuI and formation of CuI@HNTs-2 N-Sal, which could effectively promote click reactions of terminal alkynes, sodium azide and α-haloketones or alkyl halides in aqueous media and under mild reaction conditions to afford 1,2,3-triazoles in relatively short reaction times. Notably, the catalyst could be recycled in up to six reaction runs with negligible loss of catalytic activity and CuI leaching. Also, the geometry of CuI adsorption on the modified HNTs surface was explored by molecular simulation with density functional theory. Furthermore, topographic steric maps of possible coordination modes were obtained using the recently released SambVca2 web application tool. Based on obtained results, a catalytic site with superior performance was suggested.</p

    Two modifications of the new copper(I) iodide coordination polymer CuI(2-iodopyrazine) were obtained by the reaction of CuI and 2-iodopyrazine in acetonitrile. During this reaction, intensely yellow crystals of form I appear first which transform within several minutes to intensely red crystals of form II which is the thermodynamically most stable form at room temperature. In catena[CuI(2-iodopyrazine-N)] (form I; a = 4.1830 (6) Å; b = 10.814 (1) Å; c = 17.961 (4) Å; V = 812.5 (2) Å3; orthorhombic; P212121; Z = 4), corrugated CuI double chains are found in which each copper atom is coordinated by one additional 2-iodopyrazine ligand. In poly[CuI(μ-2-iodopyrazine-N,N‘)] (form II; a = 4.2679 (5) Å; b = 13.942 (2) Å; c = 13.017 (2) Å; b = 92.64 (1)°; V = 773.76 (2) Å3; monoclinic; P21/c; Z = 4), CuI single chains occur which are connected via μ-N,N‘ coordination by the 2-iodopyrazine ligands to layers parallel to (010). The thermal behavior of both forms was investigated using simultaneous differential thermoanalysis, thermogravimetry, and mass spectrometry as well as differential scanning calorimetry and temperature resolved X-ray powder diffraction. On heating, both forms decompose to copper(I) iodide, and the decomposition temperature of form I is significantly lower than that of form II. From all experiments, there is no indication of a phase transition of one form into the other or for the formation of a phase with lower amine content

Male pores paired in line with ventral chaetae, posterior to middle of XI (mid-X in paratype-a). Spermathecal pores paired in line with ventral chaetae in mid-X (mid-IX in paratype-a), immediately anterior to spermathecal chaeta. Pharyngeal glands in II–III. Chloragogen cells from VI (V in paratype-a) onwards. No coelomocytes. Male genitalia (Fig. 1 H) paired in X–XII (IX–XI in paratype-a). Vas deferens (Fig. 1 H, vd) up to 35 µm wide, shorter than atrium, although posterior part unclear; entering apical end of atrium. Atrium (Fig. 1 H, st) extending to XII (XI in paratype-a), about 1220 µm long, 40–85 µm wide, tubular and rather homogeneous throughout, with thin outer muscular layer. Prostate glands (Fig. 1 D, pr) small, attached to ental portion of atrium by short stalk. Soft part of penis (Fig. 1 D, pe) cylindrical, about 75 µm long, 65 µm in diameter, enclosed in copulatory sac; penis surrounded by thin cuticularized, somewhat thimble-shaped sheath (Fig. 1 H, ps; Fig. 1 I), 80 µm long, 68 µm wide, with 5 µm thick walls.

Spermatozeugmata (Fig. 2 A, sz) about 500–900 µm long, 5–10 of them in ampulla, 1–2 in vestibule. Distribution and habitat: Known only from Fuxian Lake, Yunnan Province, China. Freshwater lake, 97–113 m depth, water temperature lower than 14 ºC, fine clay. Remarks: Judging from the long vasa deferentia, long tubular atria each with a small prostate gland, penes with distinct cuticular sheaths, and the atria longer than vasa deferentia, the new species fits the definition of Varichaetadrilus Brinkhurst, 1981. Nine species were previously known in the genus, all distributed in the Holarctic region (Timm, 2006). Among the known members of Varichaetadrilus, there are two species with spermathecal vestibules: V. pacificus (Brinkhurst, 1981), originally known from Washington, USA (Brinkhurst, 1981), and V. fulleri Brinkhurst & Kathman, 1983 recorded only from Kentucky, USA (Brinkhurst & Kathman, 1983). However, V. vestibulatus n. sp. is easily separated from those two species by the modified spermathecal chaetae and the shape of penial sheaths (Table 2). In addition, the spermathecal duct of the new species has pear-shaped middle vestibule, but V. p a c i f i c u s has cervix-like ental vestibule, and V. f u l l e r i has ectal vestibule. This is the first species of Varichaetadrilus recorded from China, and it is the lowest-latitude distributed member hitherto known in the genus. TABLE 2.

Pharyngeal glands in II–III. Chloragogen cells from VI onwards. No coelomocytes. Male genitalia (Fig. 4 D) paired. Vas deferens (Fig. 4 D, vd) short and broad, 240–360 µm long, 36–46 µm wide, entering atrium apically. Atrial ampulla (Fig. 4 D, aa) somewhat spindle-shaped, 280–320 µm long, 58–108 µm wide. Prostate gland (Fig. 4 D, pr) large, attached to middle portion of atrium by short stalk. Atrial duct (Fig. 4 D, ed) curved, about 54 µm long, 25–36 µm wide. Soft part of penis (Fig. 4 D, pe) cylindrical, about 32 µm long, 20 µm diameter, enclosed in copulatory sac; penis surrounded by thin cuticularized, truncated-cone shaped sheath (Fig. 4 D, ps; Fig. 4 E), 116 µm long, 40–80 µm wide, one side of the ectal opening (Fig. 4 E, eo) curved upwards. Copulatory sac (Fig. 4 D, cs) 64 µm long, 40–50 µm wide. Spermathecal ampullae (Fig. 4 D, sa) oval to round, 105–125 µm in diameter, with sperm masses (Fig. 4 D, sm) in lumina, ducts (Fig. 4 D, sd) 160–250 µm long, 35–58 µm wide. Distribution and habitat: Known only from type locality, Yunnan Province, China. Freshwater lake, 5.0 m depth, water temperature 16 ºC, fine silt. Remarks: The genus Ilyodrilus consists of the type species, I. perrieri Eisen, 1879, together with I. templetoni (Southern, 1909) and the dubious entities I. frantzi Brinkhurst, 1965 and I. fragilis Eisen, 1879. The principal characteristics and the distribution of congeners are shown in Table 3. Ilyodrilus mesoprostatus n. sp. is distinguishable from congeners mainly in the respect that attachments of prostate glands are situated at middle part of the atria, while those of previously described species are all situated near the ental part of the atria (Table 3). The penial sheaths of different species are dissimilar. Despite the undeveloped type specimens, I. perrieri from California has more or less tubular, cuticular penial sheaths (Holmquist 1985). I. fragilis has thin sheaths (Eisen 1879; Brinkhurst 1978). The cosmopolitan I. templetoni has long conical tapering distally sheath with irregular opening (Brinkhurst 1965; Hrabĕ 1966) and I. frantzi has thin, truncated cone-shaped cuticular sheath (Brinkhurst 1965). The new species has truncated-cone shaped sheath, with ectal opening curved upwards at one side (Table 3). The presence of spermatozeugmata is regarded a diagnostic character of the genus Ilyodrilus (Brinkhurst & Jamison 1971). Although spermatozeugmata are absent in the present new species, it was assigned to this genus according to the structure of male genitalia. Spermatozeugmata are in fact not always present in Ilyodrilus. For instance, they were not mentioned in previous descriptions of I. perrieri and I. fragilis (Eisen, 1879; Holmquist 1985; Brinkhurst, 1965; Brinkhurst & Jamison 1971). Some specimens of I. templetoni have been described without spermathecae at all (Brinkhurst & Jamison 1971, Wang 2002), while for I. frantzi, the presence of spermatozeugmata was confirmed (Holmquist 1985). In the new species, I. mesoprostatus, the sperm were massed. So, the genus Ilyodrilus Eisen, 1879, needs a revision in the future.Published as part of Cui, Yongde & Wang, Hongzhu, 2009, Three new species of Tubificinae, Oligochaeta, from two plateau lakes in Southwest China, pp. 45-54 in Zootaxa 2143 on pages 51-53, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18861

Ventral chaetae bifid, (2) 4–6 per bundle anteriorly, 2–3 per bundle posteriorly, 60–160 µm long, 2–3 µm thick, upper tooth twice as long as lower (4 µm/2 µm), with (0) 1–2 fine intermediate teeth, nodulus distal (Figs. 4E,F, 5A–C). Ventral chaetae in X–XI present, unmodified. Male pores (Figs. 5G, 6C: mp) paired in line with ventral chaetae in anterior of X. Spermathecal pores (Fig. 5E: spp) paired in line with ventral chaetae, middle to posterior of XI. Chloragogen cells from VI onwards. Male genitalia paired in X–XII.

Atrium spindle-shaped, 560–640 µm long, maximally 80–100 µm wide (Figs. 5G, H, 6A: at). Ejaculatory duct 100–120 µm long, 20–32 µm wide, entering muscular bulb (Fig. 5G, H, 6A: ed; Fig. 5G: mb). Prostate gland large, attached to ental portion of atrium, 120–140 µm long, 80–100 µm wide (Fig. 5G, H, 6A: pr). Penis inconspicuous, surrounded by cuticular, symmetrical and funnel-shaped penial sheath. Penial sheath extremely thin, long and sinuous, 32–36 µm wide at ental end, 3–5 µm wide at thin and prolonged ectal portions, 520–540 µm long, length to width ratio nearly 15–16 (Figs. 5G, H, 6B: ps).

The main identification characteristics of long and winding vas deferens divided into thin and thick sections, long atrium gradually tapering towards distal portion, large prostate gland and elongate penial sheath suggest that the present species belongs to the genus Tubifex (Brinkhurst & Jamieson 1971; Holmquist 1985; Juget et al. 2006). Tubifex tubifex (Müller, 1774) resembles this species in pectinate dorsal chaetae, long and winding vas deferens divided into thin and thick sections, large prostates, and in atria with a long ejaculatory duct, but differs from it in a cylindrical penis covered with a short and tub-shaped cuticle ring. Furthermore, spermathecae are absent, or present with spermatozeugmata, or present with empty ampullae. T. gracilentus n. sp. is easily distinguished from its congeners by the extremely thin and long funnel-shaped penial sheath (Table 2). Distribution and habitat. Known from the type locality, Cuomujiri Lake and Trigu Co.

Holotype female mac., China, Heilongjiang Province, Greater Khingan, Nanwenghe national Nature Reserves (51°22.83'N, 124°34.24'E), 21.vii.2017, from grasses (Jun Wang). Paratypes: 1 female mac., 6 female mic., 1 male mic same data as holotype; Sanjiang Plain (45°01.08'– 48°27.93'N, 130°13.17'– 135°05.43'E), 7.vii.2017, 9 female mac., 6 female mic., 1 male mac. from grasses (Jun Wang); Mohe, Tuqiang town (52°56.85'N, 122°46.73'E), 21.vii.2017, 1 female mac., 4 female mic., 1 male mac., 4 male mic. from grasses (Jun Wang), same locality and habitat 1 female mac., 1 female mic., 1 male mac., 1 male mic., 12.viii.2018 (Jun Wang). Distribution. China (Heilongjiang). Etymology. The Latin word oroqeni derived from a minority of Oroqen Ethnic Group, who live in the type locality. Remarks. This new species is closely similar to the Japanese species A. ponokikirmui in having 9-segmented antennae, metanotum without campaniform sensilla and abdominal tergite VIII with complete posteromarginal comb and the microtrichia having wide bases. However, this new species can be distinguished as follows: abdominal tergite X yellowish (Fig. 45) but brown in A. ponokikirmui, tergites II–VII with lobes on posterior margin, but larger laterally (Fig. 39), in contrast to separated serrations in A. ponokikirmui.Published as part of Cui, Yanze & Wang, Jun, 2019, The genus Anaphothrips (Thysanoptera, Thripidae) in China, with three new species, pp. 246-258 in Zootaxa 4700 (2) on pages 253-255, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4700.2.4, http://zenodo.org/record/354844
