ESR Approach to the Nature of Solvation by Using s-Butyl n-Heptafluorobutyryl Nitroxide Probe

Because the solvent dependency of aN, g factors and line widths of some bulky and stable di-t-alkyl nitroxides1, ESR has been proved to be a useful tool in searching for the nature of medium effects ( solvation ) to chemical reactivity. A large number of fluorinated nitroxides with a wide variety of structures have been generated and subjected to extensive studies in our laboratory2. Amongst, t-butyl perfluoroalkyl nitroxides, much less hindered, with noβ-H atoms, have been employed as sp…     

Impedance Characterization of Adsorption Process of Calmodulin on Au Substrate and its Combination with Ca~(2+)

Recently, the adsorption behavior of protein on solid substrate has attracted much attention for the reason that adsorption on a substrate is the first key step for other further electrochemical investigation1. Meanwhile the free adsorption could provide a relative well-ordered structure, with which some fundamental study could be carried out conveniently2. As we know, the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) method has become one of the powerful techniques to detect the change of i…     

Synthesis and Electrochemical Property of Calcium Doped LiNi0.8Co0.2O2 Solid Solution

Today, batteries with high capacity, good cyclability, long life and environmental goodness are much required to meet some pressing demands of our modern society. In principle, lithium ion cells can satisfy these requirements1. But the properties of the cathode materials have limited the further development of the lithium ion cells. The studied cathode materials before were mainly LiCoO2, LiMn2O4, LiNiO2. The LiCoO2 has disadvantages including cost and environmental risk although it is…     

Binding Affinity of Novel Cyclodextrin Dimers to Ethyl Orange

The interaction between ethyl orange (Eto, guest) and β-cyclodextrin dimers (1a～d, host) bridged with 2-t-butoxycarbonyl(Boc)-amino diacid was investigated. A remarkable synergic complexation of two cavities in host molecule was observed.     

Efficient Debromination of Vicinal a, b-Dibromo Carboxylic Acid Derivatives with the Sm/HOAc System

The chemistry of samarium (II) iodide (SmI2) is of current interest in organic synthesis. SmI2 has been developed as a powerful, versatile and ether-soluble single-electron reductant and many examples have been reported of its use in the reduction of various functional groups1. Though SmI2 is a useful reagent, storage is difficult because it is very sensitive to air oxidation. On the other hand, metallic samarium is stable in air and has strong reducing power (Sm3+/Sm=-2.41 V). These pr…     

Chemical Components of Helicia nilagirica Beed.I.Structure of Three New Flavonol Glycosides

Helicia nilagirica Beed. belongs to the plant of Proteaceae family. The seeds of the plant is for treatment of insomnia and neurasthenia in Jingpo nationality in Yunnan Province1. Helicid and helicidol were isolated from the seeds of the plant2,3, and the helicid was recorded in the Yunnan Pharmacopoea at the 1987 edition. The chemical constituents of the leaves of this plant has not been reported yet in the literature. This paper is concerning the study of the chemical component of the…     

Spherical foam growth in Al alloy melt

The ultra light metal structure, realizing the light-ness and multifunction of structural material, has a bright future in high-tech and civil fields and is be-coming one of the hotspots in developed countries in 21 century[1―8]. Preparing Al foam by mel…     

SYNTHESIS AND CATALYTIC PROPERTY OF POLYSTYRENE SUPPORTED PHENYLALANINE SCHIFF BASE COMPLEX OF Mn(Ⅱ) IN AEROBIC OXIDATION OF CYCLOHEXENE

1. INTRODUCTION The partial oxidation of alkenes (forming acids, aldehydes and alcohols) is of considerable interest to the chemical industry. In most cases, more than one oxygenated product is formed from a given starting material and all products are susceptible to complete oxidation to carbon dioxide and water [1]. As mimetic oxygen carrier or oxidation catalyst, metalloporphyrins have been widly studied [2~7]. Among the non-porphyrin systems, the manganese complexes of Schiff base are…     

A Theoretical Study on the Stereoisomerism in the Complex of Cucurbit[8]uril with 2,6-Bis(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)naphthalene

Cucurbit[n]urils (CB [n]),macropolycyclic compounds self-assembled from an acid-catalyzed condensation of glycoluril and formaldehyde1, can form inclusion complexes with a number of organic substrates in water2. Usually, CB [6] is used in the studies because of its easy synthesis, and the driving forces for its binding are considered to be the hydrophobic effect and dipole-dipole interactions. CB[n] 1Very recently, Kim et al reported the synthesis of CB [5], CB [7], and CB [8]3. They fou…
