Densities(ρ)and refractive indices(nD)of glycine(Gly),DL-alanine(Ala),DL-valine(Val)(0.02,0.04,0.06,0.08,and 0.10 mol·L-1)in 0.005 and 0.008 mol·L-1 aqueous cetyltrimethylammonium bromide(CTAB)have been measured at 298.15,303.15,308.15,and 313.15 K.The density data have been utilized to calculate apparent molar volumes(φv),partial molar volumes(φ0v),at infinite dilution and partial molar volumes of transfer φ0v(tr)of amino acids.The refractive index data have been used to calculate molar refractivity(RD)of amino acids in aqueous cetyltrimethylammonium bromide.It has been observed that φ0v varies linearly with increasing number of carbon atoms in the alkyl chain of amino acids,and hence,was split to get contributions from the zwitterionic end groups(NH 3,COO-)and methylene group(CH2)of the amino acids.The behaviour of these parameters has been used to investigate the solute-solute,solute-solvent interactions and the effect of cetyltrimethylammonium cation on these interactions.     

苯乙烯与邻、间、对-二甲苯二元混合液的分子间相互作用

The densities (ρ), ultrasonic speeds (v), and refractive indices (n) of binary mixtures of styrene (STY)with m-, o-, or p-xylene, including those of their pure liquids, were measured over the entire composition range at the temperatures 298.15, 303.15, 308.15, and 313.15 K. The excess volumes (VE), deviations in isentropic compressibilities(△ks), acoustic impedances (△Z), and refractive indices (△n) were calculated from the experimental data. Partial molar volumes (V0φ,2) and partial molar isentropic compressibilities (K0φ,2) of xylenes in styrene have also been calculated. The derived functions, namely, VE, △ks, △Z, △n, V0φ,2, and K0φ,2 were used to have a better understanding of the intermolecular interactions occurring between the component molecules of the present liquid mixtures. The variations of these parameters suggest that the interactions between styrene and o-, m-, or p-xylene molecules follow the sequences: p-xylene＞o-xylene＞m-xylene. Apart from using density data for the calculation of VE, excess molar volumes were also estimated using refractive index data. Furthermore, several refractive index mixing rules have been used to estimate the refractive indices of the studied liquid mixtures theoretically. Overall, the computed and measured data were interpreted in terms of interactions between the mixing components.

Zn/Al/Tyr摩尔比对Tyr/Zn-Al-LDH纳米复合物的影响

The intercalation of amphoteric amino acid tyrosine （Tyr） into LDH by co-precipitation method was systematically studied. The influence of initial molar ratios （R） of LDH to Tyr has also been examined. Powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, specific surface areas and pore size distributions, and thermal analysis have been employed for the characterization of the nanocomposites. The nanohybrids were found to have an expanded layered structure except the samples prepared with low R values, indicating that the biomolecules were intercalated into the gallery as anions. The intercalation of amino acids resulted in the increase of the surface areas and pore volumes, and the value of surface areas and pore volumes increased with enhancement of biomolecules intercalated. TEM analysis revealed that with increasing biomolecules into the gallery, the nanohybrids were changed from hexagonal particles to spherical ones. Moreover, the configuration of Tyr anions was varied under different R values, changed from monolayer to bilayers with more biomolecules intercalating into the gallery.

The use of supercritical fluids (SCFs) as solvents has been attracting widespread interest in the research and commercial applications. The study of partial molar volumes of solutes at infinite dilution in the near-critical region is of considerable fundamental importance, as these data reflects the interactions occurring between the solute and the solvent. Experimental measurements of partial molar volumes may be divided into two categories: direct and indirect methods. The direct methods…     

Density, Viscosity, Refractive Index, and Speed of Sound in Binary Mixtures of Pyridine and 1-Alkanols (C6, C7, C8, C10) at 303.15 K

The densities (ρ), viscosities (η), refractive indices (nD), and speeds of sound (u), of binary mixtures of pyridine with 1-hexanol, 1-heptanol, 1-octanol and 1-decanol, including those of pure liquids, were measured over the entire composition range at 303.15 K and atmospheric pressure.

The variations of these parameters with composition of the mixtures suggest that the strength of interactions in these mixtures follow the order: 1-hexanol＞1-heptanol＞1-octanol＞1-decanol. All the excess and deviation functions were fitted to Redlich-Kister polynomial equation to determine the fitting coefficients and the standard deviations.

Structurally simple salicylaldehyde-based fluoreseent sensors for amino acids have been obtained by one-step or two-step synthesis.These sensors show significant fluorescence enhancement in the presence of many amino acids at concentrations as low as 10~5 mol/L.The reversible reaction of the aldehydes with amino acids to form imines in aqueous solution is proposed to account for the observed fluorescence enhancement.     

STUDIES ON THE ACTIVITY COEFFICIENTS OF NON-ELECTROLYES IN AQUEOUS SALT SOLUTIONS Ⅲ. THR EFFECTS OF SALTS OF FATTY ACIDS ON THE SOLUBILITIES OF CAPROIC ACID IN WATER

The solubilities of caproic acid in aqueous solutions of sodium salts of fivefatty acids (C_1 to C_5) have been measured at 25℃. All these salts increase thesolubilities of caproic acid. The reason for salting-in is due to partial displacement of the salt by thecaproic acid producing a new acid. But the new acid may distribute itself betweenthe aqueous salt, solution phase and the caproic acid phase thus rendering the actualsolubilities less than the calculated values.     

Apparent Molar Volumes and Solvation Coefficients in Ternary-pseudo-binary Mixtures [（Styrene＋Ethyl Acetate or Benzene）＋（N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone＋Ethyl Acetate or Benzene）]

Over the full range of compositions,in the ternary-pseudo-binary mixtures of x[(1-y)C6H5CH=CH2+ yCH3COOC2H5(or C6H6)]+(1-x)[(1-y)NMP+yCH3COOC2H5(or C6H6)],the apparent molar volumes of each pseudo-pure component at different y values were calculated from the density data at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure.The results show that the four parameters cubic polynomial can correlate the apparent molar volume with the molar fraction well over the full molar fraction range.The limiting partial molar volumes and the molar volumes of each pseudo-pure component were evaluated with different methods.Based on the limiting partial molar volume and molar volume at a certain y value,a new universal coefficient termed as solvation coefficient γ was defined to describe quantitatively the solvation degree of pseudo-pure solute and the interactions of solute-solvent molecules from the macroscopical thermodynamics viewpoint.The results demonstrate the solvation coefficients decrease with the amount of the third component increasing for each pseudo-pure solute,irrespective of the pseudo-pure solvent.Then the solvation degrees of each pseudo-pure component,the specific interactions between the solute molecule and the solvent one were discussed in terms of the solvation coefficient.     

Amino Acids Catalyzed Direct Aldol Reactions in Aqueous Micelles

Since the discovery of its roles as a good small-organic-molecule catalyst in intramolecular aldol reactions, pro line has drawn considerable attention in synthetic chemistry due to its similarity to the type-Ⅰ aldolases. Recently,List and others have reported some new direct asymmetric intermolecular reactions catalyzed by proline, including aldol, Mannich, Michael, and other analogous reactions. Except for two recent examples, [1,2] proline catalyzed aldol reactions in aqueous micelles have not been reported, nor have other amino acids as organocatalysts in directly catalyzing aldol reaction been reported. Herein we wish to present our recent results regarding environmentally be nign direct aldol reactions catalyzed by amino acids including proline, histidine and arginine in aqueous media.     

Spectrophotometric determination of cationic surfactants by formation of ternary complexes with Fe(Ⅲ) and chrome azurol S

An extraction-free spectrophotometric method for the determination of cationic surfactants, such as cetylpyridinium chloride, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and zephiramine is proposed, which is based on the formation of ternary complexes with Fe(Ⅲ) and chrome azurol S. The molar ratio of the complex is 2:1:1 (Fe(Ⅲ):chrome azurol S:cationic surfactant). The method is simple, rapid and sensitive, giving an apparent molar absorptivity of 4.5×104 L.mol-1.cm-1 and a linear range of 0.1-6.0 umol/L cationic surfactants. The total cationic surfactant content can be determined directly in aqueous solutions by measuring the absorbance at 680 nm (pH 5.8). The method has been successfully applied to water samples.

The complexes formed by calcium ion and 12 common amino acids were investigated systematically in the gas phase at the level of MP2/6-311＋＋G（d,p）//MP2/6-3 1G（d,p）.The results show that the salt-bridge structure is the most preferred motif for Ca2＋ binding aliphatic amino acids without heteroatom in the side chain,while charge-solvated（CS） structure is the most preferred motif for Ca2＋ binding other amino acids except for glutamine and lysine.IR spectra of Gln-Ca2＋ and Asn-Ca2＋ complexes were calculated and compared well with the available experiments.From the study in aqueous solution,the bidentate salt-bridge structure was determined to be the most favorable for all the twenty kinds of amino acids to chelate Ca2＋ to both the oxygen atoms of the negatively carboxylate group in the backbone.     

Synthesis of unnatural amino acids through palladium-catalyzed C(sp~3)-H functionalization

Unnatural a-amino acids have been extensively used in the modern drug discovery and protein engineering studies. They have also found applications in the development of chiral molecular catalysts and the total synthesis of diverse natural products. Accordingly the development of cost-effective approaches for the preparation of unnatural a-amino acids has received increasing attentions. Among all the available methods for this purpose, direct C–H functionalization of simple amino acids represents one of the most attractive approaches because it exhibits good atom-economy and step-efficiency. In particular, selective functionalization of either the primary or secondary C(sp~3)–H bonds in the amino acids has been explored to make versatile C–C, C–N, C–O, C–B and C–F bonds to modify the side chain of amino acids and even peptides. The present review surveys the recent advances of synthesis of chiral unnatural a-amino acids and peptides through palladium-catalyzed functionalization of un-activated C(sp~3)–H bonds.     

Sensitive analysis of amino acids in injection liquor by reversed-phase HPLC

A convenient derivatization method of amino acids with l-fluoro-2,4-dimtrobenzene as reaction reagent and a separation system were described. The derivative amino acids were separated on a specific chemically bonded phase column with a simple linear gradient elution consisting of aqueous buffer and methanol. The eluate was detected by common ultraviolet absorption detector at 360 nm. The detection limits of amino acids were as low as 10 picomole. This method has been successfully applied to assay amino acid injection liquor used in hospital. It has good repro-ducibility and precision. The procedures avoid the requirements of particular derivative equipment and analyzer employed in conventional amino acid analysis.     

Enhancement of intramolecular excimer formation and photodimerization of anthrylmethyl α,ω-alkanedioates via hydrophobic interactions

The fluorescence spectra and photodimerization of anthrylmethyl a,w-alkanedioates (A-Mn-A) both in organic and in aqueous organic mixed solvents have been studied.In aqueous organic mixed solvents strong intramolecular excimer emission is detected and the quantum yield for the intramolecular photodimerization is significantly greater than those in organic solvents.These observations suggest that hydrophobic interactions force A-Mn-A molecule to self-coil.The ratio of the head-to-head to head-to-tail products in the intramolecular photodimers of A-Mn-A depends on the length of the linking chain.This work presents a successful example of application of hydrophobic interactions to enhancement of large-ring formation.
