微生物电化学系统电子中介体

电化学活性微生物与电极之间的胞外电子传递在微生物电化学系统(microbial electrochemical systems,MESs)产能、生物修复等功能的实现中起着关键作用.目前,研究者对微生物胞外电子传递机理了解有限,限制了MESs的应用.相比于需要微生物功能蛋白与电极接触才能发生的直接电子传递,间接电子传递可通过具有可逆氧化还原活性的电子中介体(electron transfer mediators,ETMs)实现电子的传递,从而有效提高微生物胞外电子传递效率.在间接电子转移过程中,ETMs起着中间电子受体和中间电子供体的作用,即被还原后可将电子传递给最终电子受体并被重新还原;理论上每个ETMs分子可以循环数千次,因此ETMs对特定环境下终端氧化物(如铁离子)的循环有着极其显著的作用.本文系统总结了MESs中ETMs及间接电子传递机制近年来的研究进展,并且在此基础上探讨了ETMs在MESs中的研究趋势,以期推动MESs在生物修复、能源生产方面的实际应用.     

扫描电化学显微镜用于研究生物膜微环境的电子传递

生物电化学系统(BESs)的核心是生物膜在电极/溶液界面的电子传递反应,研究生物膜微区环境中的电子传递有助于阐明微生物的胞外电子传递(EET)机制,从而有针对性地提高BESs中的电子转移效率。微生物的EET机制包括直接电子传递和间接电子传递,由于生物膜组成复杂,含有多种分泌物、胞外聚合物等,常规电化学方法只能从生物膜宏观层面研究EET机制,无法有效区分这两种电子传递途径的贡献。本文采用电化学循环伏安方法研究了电子穿梭体二茂铁甲醇(FcMeOH)与希瓦氏菌(Shewanella)相互作用的界面过程;基于扫描电化学显微技术构建了穿透模式,通过微电极介导FcMeOH与Shewanella反应,收集仅来自间接电子传递途径产生的电流,同时测定了Shewanella在电极/溶液界面的氧化还原性质和空间分布。本论文将电化学扫描探针显微技术应用于EET的研究,从物理化学角度揭示微生物在代谢过程中与外界的电子传输机制。

Charge transfer across the water/nitrobenzene interface by three-electrode system

A droplet of aqueous solution containing a certain molar ratio of redox couple is first attached onto a platinum electrode surface, then the resulting drop electrode is immersed into the organic solution containing very hydrophobic electrolyte. Combined with reference and counter electrodes, a classical three-electrode system has been constructed. Ion transfer (IT) and electron transfer (ET) are investigated systematically using three-electrode voltammetry. Potassium ion transfer and electron transfer between potassium ferricyanide in the aqueous phase and ferrocene in nitrobenzene are observed with potassium ferricyanide/potassium ferrocyanide as the redox couple. Meanwhile, the transfer reactions of lithium, sodium, potassium, proton and ammonium ions are obtained with ferric sulfate/ferrous sulfate as the redox couple. The formal transfer potentials and the standard Gibbs transfer energy of these ions are evaluated and consistent with the results obtained by a four-electrode system and other methods.     

Mechanistic study of the oxidation of -ascorbic acid by chloranil at the nitrobenzene water interface

The redox reaction between -ascorbic acid in water and chloranil in nitrobenzene has been studied by means of polarography with an ascending water electrode as well as cyclic voltammetry with a stationary interface. Through accurate measurement of the limiting currents, it has been suggested that the redox reaction should be a two-electron reaction rather than a one-electron reaction described previously. A spectrophotometric technique has also been used to observe that the redox reaction proceeds spontaneously under certain conditions even without electrochemical control. Based on these findings, it has been concluded that the present heterogeneous charge transfer reaction is the ion transfer of chloranil semiquinone radical, which is driven by the homogeneous electron transfer between ascorbic acid and chloranil in the aqueous phase.     

Unsymmetrical Disulfides Synthesis via Sulfenium Ion

An umpolung approach for the synthesis of unsymmetrical disulfides via sulfenium ion is reported. In situ generated electrophilic sulfenium ion from electron‐rich thiols reacted with second thiols to yield unsymmetrical disulfides.

Aerobic Double Dehydrogenative Cross Coupling between Cyclic Saturated Ketones and Simple Arenes

The synthesis of 3‐aryl‐2‐cyclohexenones is a topic of current interest as they are not only privileged structures in bioactive molecules, but they are also relevant feedstocks for the synthesis of substituted phenols or anilines, which are ubiquitous structural elements both in drug design and medicinal chemistry. A simple and sustainable one‐pot aerobic double dehydrogenative reaction under mild conditions for the introduction of arenes in the β‐position of cyclic ketones has been developed. Starting from the corresponding saturated ketone, this reaction sequence proceeds under relatively low Pd catalyst loading and involves catalytic amounts of electron‐transfer mediators (ETMs) under ambient oxygen pressure.     

Characterization of electronic structure and properties of a Bis(histidine) heme model complex

Ferric and ferrous hemes, such as those present in electron transfer proteins, often have low-lying spin states that are very close in energy. To explore the relationship between spin state, geometry, and cytochrome electron transfer, we investigate, using density functional theory, the relative energies, electronic structure, and optimized geometries for a high- and low-spin ferric and ferrous heme model complex. Our model consists of an iron-porphyrin axially ligated by two imidazoles, which model the interaction of a heme with histidine residues. Using the B3LYP hybrid functional, we found that, in the ferric model heme complex, the doublet is lower in energy than the sextet by 8.4 kcal/mol and the singlet ferrous heme is 6.7 kcal/mol more stable than the quintet. The difference between the high-spin ferric and ferrous model heme energies yields an adiabatic electron affinity (AEA) of 5.24 eV, and the low-spin AEA is 5.17 eV. Both values are large enough to ensure electron trapping, and electronic structure analysis indicates that the iron d(pi) orbital is involved in the electron transfer between hemes. M?ssbauer parameters calculated to verify the B3LYP electronic structure correlate very well with experimental values. Isotropic hyperfine coupling constants for the ligand nitrogen atoms were also evaluated. The optimized geometries of the ferric and ferrous hemes are consistent with structures from X-ray crystallography and reveal that the iron-imidazole distances are significantly longer in the high-spin hemes, which suggests that the protein environment, modeled here by the imidazoles, plays an important role in regulating the spin state. Iron-imidazole dissociation energies, force constants, and harmonic frequencies were calculated for the ferric and ferrous low-spin and high-spin hemes. In both the ferric and the ferrous cases, a single imidazole ligand is more easily dissociated from the high-spin hemes.     

薄层循环伏安法研究硝基苯/水界面上离子诱导的电子转移反应

Evidence for concerted proton-electron transfer in the electrochemical oxidation of phenols with water as proton acceptor. Tri-tert-butylphenol

Proton-coupled electron transfer oxidation of phenols play a prominent role in several natural processes, and one may wonder if their high efficiency is related to the possibility that the electron and proton transfer steps are concerted. The cyclic voltammetric observation of the electrochemical oxidation and reverse reaction has allowed, with the example of 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenol in nonbuffered aqueous media, the clear identification of a pathway in which a phenol is directly and reversibly converted into the phenoxyl radical while the generated proton is accepted by a water molecule in a concerted manner. In very basic media, a stepwise mechanism takes place in which the phenol is deprotonated by OH- and the resulting phenoxide ion rapidly oxidized into the phenoxyl radical. As the pH decreases, this pathway progressively shuts down to the advantage of the concerted pathway. The latter assignment is confirmed by the observation of a substantial H/D kinetic isotope effect. At moderately basic pH 10.5, the contributions of the two pathways are about equal and the occurrence of the two competing routes is directly visualized in the cyclic voltammetry response.     

Viologen-modified platinum clusters acting as an efficient catalyst in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

A highly efficient photocatalytic system for hydrogen evolution with dihydronicotinamide coenzyme (NADH) as a sacrificial agent in an aqueous solution has been constructed by using water-soluble platinum clusters functionalized with methyl viologen-alkanethiol (MVA2+) and a simple electron-donor dyad, 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinium ion (Acr+-Mes), which is capable of fast photoinduced electron transfer but extremely slow back electron transfer. The mean diameter of the platinum core was determined as R(CORE) = 1.9 nm with a standard deviation sigma = 0.5 nm by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). As a result, the hydrogen-evolution rate of the photocatalytic system with MVA2+-modified platinum clusters (MVA2+-PtC) is 10 times faster than the photocatalytic system with the mixture of the same amount of MVA2+ and platinum clusters as that of MVA2+-PtC under otherwise the same experimental conditions. The radical cation of NADH has been successfully detected by laser flash photolysis experiments. The decay of the absorbance due to NAD*, produced by the deprotonation from NADH*+, coincides with the appearance of the absorption band due to Acr*-Mes. This indicates electron transfer from NAD* to Acr+-Mes to give Acr*-Mes, which undergoes the electron-transfer reduction of MVA2+-PtC, leading to the efficient hydrogen evolution.
