Two- and three-body photodissociation dynamics of diiodobromide (I2Br-) anion

The photodissociation of gas-phase I(2)Br(-) was investigated using fast beam photofragment translational spectroscopy. Anions were photodissociated from 300 to 270 nm (4.13-4.59 eV) and the recoiling photofragments were detected in coincidence by a time- and position-sensitive detector. Both two- and three-body channels were observed throughout the energy range probed. Analysis of the two-body dissociation showed evidence for four distinct channels: Br(-) + I(2), I(-) + IBr, Br+I(2) (-), and I + IBr(-). In three-body dissociation, Br((2)P(3∕2)) + I((2)P(3∕2)) + I(-) and Br(-) + I((2)P(3∕2)) + I((2)P(3∕2)) were produced primarily from a concerted decay mechanism. A sequential decay mechanism was also observed and attributed to Br(-)((1)S)+I(2)(B(3)Π(0u) (+)) followed by predissociation of I(2)(B).     

常温常压下β沸石改性吸附剂脱除噻吩类硫的研究

在合成不同硅铝比Naβ沸石的基础上，采用固相离子交换方法制备了Cu(I)、Ag(I)离子改性的β沸石系列吸附剂。样品的结晶度和BET比表面积有所降低，XRD表征结果表明，所制备的样品保持了结构的完整性，随着硅铝比的增加，Naβ样品的BET比表面积增加。Cu(I)、Ag(I)离子的引入使样品的红外骨架振动峰向低波数移动，与相同硅铝比的Naβ沸石相比，吸附剂的BET比表面积有所降低。对模型油的静态吸附结果表明,硅铝摩尔比为25时Cu(I)β吸附性能最好，模型油中硫的质量分数降到10×10－6以下，脱除率达到95％，Ag(I)β次之，脱除率达到87％。常温常压下固定床动态吸附穿透实验得到Cu(I)β、Ag(I)β的穿透硫容分别为0.144mmol/g和0.132mmol/g。     

Selective adsorption and separation of Cs(I) from salt lake brine by a novel surface magnetic ion-imprinted polymer

A new Cs(I) magnetic ion-imprinted polymer (Cs(I)-MIIP) aimed at the selective adsorption and separation of Cs(I) from salt lake brine was prepared. The Fe₃O₄@SiO₂ was used as supporter, Cs(I) as template ion, and carboxymethyl chitosan as functional monomer. The product was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra, XRD, energy-dispersive spectrometry, scanning electron microcopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and vibrating sample magnetometer. The adsorption of the Cs(I)-MIIP in solution was investigated, which indicated the maximum adsorption capacity was 36.15?mg·g^?1 under the optimum conditions. The pseudo-first-order kinetic model and the Freundlich isotherm model were applied to predict the adsorption process of Cs(I) onto Cs(I)-MIIP. Selectivity experiments showed that the relative selectivity coefficient (k′) were 24.995, 1.73, 1.43, 4.83, and 1.63 to Cs(I)/Li(I), Cs(I)/Na(I), Cs(I)/K(I), Cs(I)/Rb(I), and Cs(I)/Sr(II) binary solutions, higher than those of NIP, respectively. Furthermore, the Cs(I)-MIIP was successfully applied to the enrichment and separation of Cs(I) from the salt lake brine of Qinghai, with satisfactory Cs(I) recovery rates.     

Non-metal element detection by radio-frequency glow-discharge optical-emission spectrometry (rf-GD-OES) for determination of sol–gel-immobilized nucleotides

A new method is presented for qualitative and quantitative determination of non-metal elements present in organic analyte species immobilized in a sol–gel matrix. Nucleic acids were chosen as well-defined relevant biomolecules for which element ratios could be used for detection and identification. Solid, lyophilized powders of ribose-form nucleotides (AMP, ADP, and ATP) were immobilized/entrapped in a methlytrimethoxysilane (mTMOS) sol–gel matrix and monitored for P (I) 214.9 nm, C (I) 193.0 nm, O (I) 130.2, and N (I) 149.3 nm emission by radio-frequency glow-discharge optical-emission spectroscopy (rf-GD-OES). Using the sol–gel method, analytical blanks were obtained by use of un-doped sol–gels. Empirical formula calculations by use of P (I) and C (I), P (I) and N (I), and P (I) and O (I) emission response ratios demonstrate the versatility of the technique as an element and species-specific detector. Results show there is high correlation between phosphorus and oxygen emission responses and the extent of phosphorylation, demonstrating the capacity of the method to produce vital qualitative and quantitative information for the specific nucleotide. Absolute sub-nanogram detection limits were achieved for all the elements studied.     

Silver (I) antimicrobial cotton nonwovens and printcloth

In this paper we discuss the preparation and comparative evaluation of silver (I) [Ag(I)] nonwoven and woven antimicrobial barrier fabrics generated from commercial calcium‐sodium alginates and laboratory prepared sodium carboxymethyl (CM) cotton nonwovens and CM‐cotton printcloth for potential use as wound dressings. Degrees of CM substitution (DS) in cotton nonwoven and printcloth samples by titrimetry were 0.38 and 0.10, respectively. Coordination of Ag(I) with carboxylates on fabrics was effected by ion exchange and nitrates were removed by washing to mitigate nitrate ion toxicity issues. Durability of silver coordinated fabrics was tested by soaking them in deionized water with slight agitation at 50°C. Ag(I) alginates and nonwoven Ag(I)‐CM‐cottons lost structural integrity in water. Ag‐CM‐cotton printcloth samples retained structural integrity even after four soak‐and‐dry cycles, were smooth to the touch when dry, and were smoother when moistened. They could be easily peeled from wound surfaces without inducing trauma. Solid‐state carbon‐13 (¹³C) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometry was used to observe changes in carbonyl resonances in Ag(I) alginates and Ag(I)‐CM‐printcloth, and the chemical shift positions of carbonyl resonances of uncoordinated and Ag(I) coordinated fabrics did not change. Inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry (ICP‐MS) was used following fabric digestion to determine the total Ag(I) ion content in fabrics. Ag(I) alginates were found to hold about 10–50 mg Ag(I) per gram fabric; and Ag(I) cotton woven and nonwoven fabrics held about 5–10 mg Ag(I) ions per gram fabric. Kinetic release of Ag(I) after soaking once in physiological saline was studied with ICP‐MS to estimate the availability of Ag(I) upon a single exchange with Na(I) ions on wound surfaces. Alginates released between ～13 and 28% of coordinated Ag(I), and CM‐cotton nonwovens and CM‐cotton printcloth released ～14 and 3% of coordinated Ag(I) ions, respectively. Finally, Ag(I) alginates and Ag(I)‐CM‐cotton printcloth samples were evaluated against Gram‐positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram‐negative Klebsiella pneumoniae. Ag(I) alginates suppressed 99.95% of bacterial growth in vitro. Even after four soak‐and‐dry cycles in deionized water Ag(I)‐CM‐cotton printcloth suppressed 99.99% of bacterial growth in vitro.

Photodissociation mass spectra and mass-selected resonant (1+1)-photodissociation spectroscopy of some alkyl iodide radical cations

Photodissociation (PD) mass spectra and mass selected (1+1)-photodissociation spectra of C(2)H(5)I(+?), C(2)D(5)I(+?),1- C(3)H(7)I(+?), 2-C(3)H(7)I(+?), 1-C(4)H(9)I(+?) and 2- C(4)H(9)I(+?) radical cations were studied within the ? ← X~ absorption band. The photodissociation mass spectra within the range 13,600-15,900 cm(-1) (1.68-1.97 eV) evidence only a simple cleavage of the C-I bond and formation of the corresponding alkyl ions. The resonant (1+1)-photodissociation spectra of C(2)H(5)I(+?) and C(2)D(5)I(+?) show intense vibrational structure in the excited ? state. The thresholds for formation of the states of C(2)H(5)I(+?) and C(2)D(5)I(+?) were estimated to be (13,278 ± 12) cm(-1) (1.6462 ± 0.0014 eV)and (13,363 ± 12) cm(-1) (1.6586 ± 0.0014 eV), respectively. Whereas a few resonant vibronic excitations could be identified with 1-C(3)H(7)I(+?) and 1- C(4)H(7)I(+), no vibrational features were observable with 2- C(3)H(7)I(+?) and 2-C(4)H(9)I(+?). It is concluded that 1- and 2-iodoalkane radical cations do not rearrange, even under the conditions of electron ionisation used to generate the molecular ions.     

Fluorescent molecular sensory system based on bis pyrene-modified gamma-cyclodextrin dimer for steroids and endocrine disruptors.

A gamma-cyclodextrin dimer modified with two pyrene moieties, 6-(2-pyrenebutylate-aminoethyl)pyrenebutylate-amino-6-deoxy-bis-gamma-cyclodextrin, has been synthesized in the presence of N,N'-dicyclohexycarbodiimide from gamma-cyciodextrin dimer linked with ethylenediamine at an upper rim. The sensing ability and binding property of the titled dimer were investigated for bile acids and endocrine disruptors. This cyclodextrin dimer showed both monomer and excimer fluorescence; the guest-induced emissions were observed as increases or decreases depending on the guest. The values deltaI(m)/I0(m) and deltaI(ex)/I0(ex), where I0(m) and I(m) are fluorescence intensities of monomer emission in the absence and presence of a guest and I0(ex) and I(ex) are those of excimer emission and deltaI(m) and deltaI(ex) were I(m) - I0(m) and I(ex) - I0(ex), respectively, were used as a parameter of sensitivity. This host exhibited highly sensitive molecular recognition ability for bile acids and endocrine disruptors, in which the sensing parameters obtained from monomer emission were plus or minus values, whereas the parameters obtained as excimer emission were minus ones. The behavior of the appended moieties of the host during a host-guest complexation was studied by induced circular dichroism (ICD) and fluorescence spectra. The ICD intensities of the titled dimer were decreased upon an addition of a guest. The guest-induced variations in the fluorescence and ICD intensity suggest that the appended moieties move by altering the spatial relationship in the hydrophobic space between two linked cyclodextrins.     

A selective chemosensor for detection of Ag(I) and Cu(I) based on an acenaphthoquinone derivative and its complexes

A new Schiff base, acenaphthoquinone bis(diphenylmethlenehydrazone) (L), was synthesized and employed as a chemosensor for detecting Ag(I) and Cu(I). Experimental results showed that the chemosensor exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity. The sensitivity of the chemosensor for Ag(I) or Cu(I) was not affected by other metal ions, such as Ni(II), Nd(III), Zn(II), Fe(III), Cu(II), Na(I), La(III), K(I), and Co(II). Complexes 1 and 2 were synthesized by coordination of L with Ag(I) and Cu(I), respectively. The crystal structures of 1 and 2 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. They had the same space group P2₁/c. Based on theoretical calculation, mechanism of the chemosensor detecting Ag(I) and Cu(I) was suggested.     

In‐situ Generated and Premade 1‐Copper(I) Alkynes in Cycloadditions

The copper(I)‐catalyzed azide‐alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) was discovered in 2002, which has become the most remarkable example for “click chemistry” to date. In CuAAC reaction, 1‐copper(I) alkyne has been recognized to be a key intermediate. However, many contradictory experimental results for this intermediate were reported in literature. For example, only the in‐situ generated 1‐copper(I) alkyne was used, while the premade 1‐copper(I) alkyne proved to be inefficient under the standard conditions. The kinetic studies indicated that CuAAC reaction had a strict second‐order dependence on Cu(I) and the DFT studies demonstrated that 1‐copper(I) alkyne intermediate should be a dinuclear copper(I) complex. But these results were inconsistent with the structure of the premade 1‐copper(I) alkyne. Although hundreds of structurally different ligands were reported to significantly enhance the efficiency of CuAAC reaction, their functions were assigned to prevent the oxidation and the disproportionation of Cu(I) ion. Based on the investigation of the references and our works, we proposed that the in‐situ generated 1‐copper(I) alkyne in CuAAC reaction is not identical with the premade 1‐copper(I) alkyne. The ligands may play dual roles to activate the 1‐copper(I) alkyne by blocking the polymerization of the in‐situ formed 1‐copper(I) alkynes and dissociating the polymeric structures of the premade 1‐copper(I) alkynes. As a result, we first disclosed that carboxylic acids can function as such activators and a novel carboxylic acid‐catalyzed CuAAC strategy was developed, which has been proven to be the most convenient and highly efficient CuAAC method to date. Furthermore, highly efficient and regioselective methods for the syntheses of 1,4,5‐trisubstituted 1,2,3‐triazoles were developed by using the premade 1‐copper(I) alkynes as substrates, in which the novel function of the premade 1‐copper(I) alkynes as excellent dipolarophiles was first disclosed and applied. In this article, a series of works reported by our group for the in‐situ generated and the premade 1‐copper(I) alkynes in cycloadditions are reviewed.     

Luminescent gold(I) and silver(I) complexes of 2-(diphenylphosphino)-1-methylimidazole (dpim): characterization of a three-coordinate Au(I)-Ag(I) dimer with a short metal-metal separation

The Au(I) and Ag(I) closed-shell metal dimers of 2-(diphenylphosphino)-1-methylimidazole, dpim, were investigated. dpim formed the discreet binuclear species [Ag2(dpim)2(CH3CN)2](2+) (1) when reacted with appropriate Ag(I) salts. Likewise, [Au2(dpim)2](2+) (3) and [AuAg(dpim)3](2+) (4) were produced via reactions with (tht)AuCl, tht is tetrahydrothiophene, and Ag(I). Compound 3 exhibits an intense blue luminescence (lambdamax=483 nm) in the solid state. However, upon initial formation of 3, a small impurity of Cl- was present giving rise to an orange emission (lambdamax=548 nm). Attempts to form [Au2(dpim)2]Cl2 yielded only (dpim)AuCl (2), which is not visibly emissive. The rare three-coordinate heterobimetallic complex [AuAg(dpim)3](2+) (4) exhibits intense luminescence in the solid-state resembling that of 3. The crystal structures of 1-4 were determined, revealing strong intramolecular aurophilic and argentophilic interactions in the dimeric compounds. Compound 1 has an Ag(I)-Ag(I) separation of 2.9932(9) A, while compound 3 has a Au(I)-Au(I) separation of 2.8174(10) A. Compound 4 represents the first example of a three-coordinate Au(I)-Ag(I) dimer and has a metal-metal separation of 2.8635(15) A. The linear Au(I) monomer, 2, has no intermolecular Au(I)-Au(I) interactions, with the closest separation greater than 6.8 A.
