Gas-phase acylation of cellulose is an attractive method for modifying the surface properties of cellulosics. However, little is known concerning the regioselectivity of the chemistry, in terms of which cellulose positions are preferentially acylated and if acylation can be restricted to the surface, preserving crystallinities/morphologies. Consequently, we reexplore simple gas-phase acetylation of modern-day cellulosic building blocks – cellulose nanocrystals, pulps, regenerated fibre and aerogels. The gas-phase acetylation is shown to be highly regioselective for the C6-OH, is further supported with computational modelling. This contrasts with liquid-state acetylation, highlighting that the gas-phase chemistry is much more controllable, yet with similar kinetics to the uncatalyzed liquid-phase reactions. Furthermore, this method preserves both the native crystalline structure of cellulose and the supramolecular morphologies of even delicate cellulosic constructs (aerogel exhibiting retention of chiral cholesteric liquid crystalline phases). Therefore, we are convinced that this methodology will lead to more rapid adoption of precisely tailored and cellulosic materials

Two pairs of divalent and tetravalent porphyrin building blocks carrying the complementary supramolecular crown ether/secondary ammonium ion binding motif have been synthesized and their derived pseudorotaxanes have been studied by a combination of NMR spectroscopy in solution and ESI mass spectrometry in the gas phase. By simple mixing of the components the formation of discrete dimeric and trimeric (metallo)porphyrin complexes predominates, in accordance to binding stoichiometry, while the amount of alternative structures can be neglected. Our results illustrate the power of multivalency to program the multicomponent self-assembly of specific entities into discrete functional nanostructures.

ABSTRACT Studying the evolution of dwarf galaxies can provide insights into the characteristics of systems that can act as building blocks of massive galaxies. This paper discusses the history of star formation and gas flows (inflow and outflow) of a dwarf irregular galaxy in the Local Group, NGC 6822, from the viewpoint of gas-phase and stellar chemical abundance. Gas-phase oxygen abundance, stellar metallicity distribution, and gas fraction data are compared to chemical evolution models in which continuous star formation and gas flows are assumed. If the galaxy is assumed to be a closed or an accretion-dominated system where steeper stellar initial mass functions are allowed, the observed gas-phase oxygen abundance and gas fraction can be explained simultaneously; however, metallicity distributions predicted by the models seem to be inconsistent with the observed distribution, which suggests that the star formation, gas flows, and/or chemical enrichment are more complex than assumed by the models. When NGC 6822 is assumed to be a system dominated by outflow, the observed values of gas-phase oxygen abundance and gas fraction can be explained, and the metallicity distributions predicted by some of the models are also roughly consistent with the observed distribution in the metallicity range of −2.0 ≲ [Fe/H] ≲ −0.5. It should be noted that this result does not necessarily mean that the accretion of gas is completely ruled out. More observables, such as chemical abundance ratios, and detailed modelling may provide deeper insight into the evolution of the system.
