Coating Carbon Nanotubes with Europium Oxide

Carbon nanotubes (CNTS) coating with europium oxide by a simple method is reported in this letter for the first time. The CNTS were refluxed in a solution of nitric acid containing europium nitrate, and the pH value was subsequently ajusted with ammonia solution. At last, the mixture was filtered and annealed. The TEM micrograph showed that the CNTS were covered with a uniform thin layer with thickness of about 15 nm. The XRD results revealed that the CNTS were coated with europium oxide.

Cadinene Derivatives from Eupatorium adenophorum

A new norsesquiterpene named eupatorone (= (4S,4aR,6R)‐1‐acetyl‐6‐(acetyloxy)‐4,4a,5,6‐tetrahydro‐4,7‐dimethylnaphthalen‐2(3H)‐one; 1 ) and a new sesquiterpene derivative named 2‐deoxo‐2‐(acetyloxy)‐9‐oxoageraphorone (= (1R,4S,4aR,6R,8aS)‐6‐(acetyloxy)‐3,4,4a,5,6,8a‐hexahydro‐4,7‐dimethyl‐1‐(1‐methylethyl)naphthalen‐2(1H)‐one; 2 ), together with the five known cadinene derivatives 3 – 7 were isolated from the flower of Eupatorium adenophorum (Spreng. ). Their structures were established by extensive NMR experiments, including 1D and 2D NMR.     

Cu（I）/Diamine-catalyzed Aryl-alkyne Coupling Reactions

Arylalkynes are important building blocks for the synthesis of natural products,pharmaceuticals,and artificial molecular devices1.They are often synthesized via the Pd-catalyzed Sonogashira coupling reactions between aryl halides and terminal alkynes2,3.Unfortunately,it remains difficult to apply the Sonogashira reaction to industrial scale and/or pharmaceutical synthesis,due to the high cost of Pd and the difficulty in removing the toxic Pd residues from the reaction products.Thus it is wor…

Spectroscopic Interrogation of Layer-by-layer Assembled Films of Conjugated Polyelectrolytes

Layer-by-layer fluorescent conjugated polyelectrolyte films have been studied. The photoluminescence of conjugate polyelectrolytes was observed to be highly tunable during this film assembly process. Efficient photoinduced electron transfer from thus prepared highly luminescent film to a natural electron-transfer protein cytochrome c has also been observed.     

MgAl-PdCl4 水滑石的合成与表征

以MgAl-NO3水滑石为前驱体,用离子交换法将PdCl42-作为客体插入水滑石的层间,通过XRD、IR、DTA、比表面积等表征制备的水滑石,探讨了Pd含量、插层时间、Mg/Al摩尔比以及焙烧温度对制备水滑石结构的影响.结果表明,插层产物中PdCl42-与NO3-共存于层间,PdCl42-的引入,减小了水滑石的层间距,PdCl42-引入量越多,层间距减少的越多.Mg/Al摩尔比在2～4均可以形成MgAl- PdCl4-HLTcs,但是其值增大时,水滑石的层间距逐渐降低.插层交换时间延长有利于PdCl42-插入层间,但从制备水滑石的角度看,晶化时间8 h,即可得到结晶良好的水滑石化合物.DTA分析结果显示,在较高的PdCl42-引入量,或较高的Mg/Al摩尔比时层间PdCl42-失去Cl-转化成PdO的温度在370 ℃左右,层间NO3-的脱除温度在410 ℃附近;在低的PdCl42-引入量,或低的Mg/Al摩尔比两个脱除过程一起进行,在500 ℃左右完成.随着层间PdCl42-的分解及NO3-的脱除,400 ℃时MgO-Al2O3-PdO物相开始形成,600 ℃时基本形成完全,比表面积也达到最大,进一步提高焙烧温度至800 ℃,由于金属氧化物的晶粒变大及出现少量的MgAl2O4尖晶石物相,其比表面积有所下降.     

Studies on Aggregation Interaction between Reduced Denatured Egg White Lysozymes during Refolding Procedure in Urea Solution

The aggregation interaction between reduced-denatured egg white lysozymes during refolding procedure in urea solution was studied by means of reducing and non-reducing protein electrophoreses. Results of non-reducing sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis （SDS-PAGE） of the supernatant and aggregate precipitate formed in refolding process show that except being refolded to native egg white lysozymes, the reduced-denatured lysozymes can also form the aggregates with molecular weights （MW） being separately about 30.0 and 35.0 kD, while the reducing SDS-PAGE and the refolding results in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate show that these aggregates are formed chiefly through the misconnection of disulfide bonds between the reduced-denatured lysozymes, and the aggregate precipitates are formed through the non-covalent interactions between the aggregates with molecular weight being about 30.0 kD. From the results of electrophoresis and size-exclusion chromatographic analyses, it can be inferred that the aggregates with molecular weights being about 30.0 and 35.0 kD are bi-molecular and tri-molecular egg white lysozyme aggregates, respectively. And finally, a suggested refolding mechanism of reduced-denatured egg white lysozymes in urea solution was presented.     

Selective bonding of pyrazine to silicon(100)-2x1 surfaces: the role of nitrogen atoms

The covalent binding of pyrazine on Si(100) have been investigated using high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Experimental results clearly suggest that the attachment occurs exclusively through the bonding of the two para-nitrogen atoms with the surface without the involvement of the carbon atoms, as evidenced from the retention of the (sp2) C-H stretching mode in HREELS and a significant down shift of 1.6 eV in the binding energy of N 1s. The binding mechanism for pyrazine on Si(100) demonstrates that reaction channels for heteroatomic aromatic molecules are strongly dependent on the electronic properties of the constituent atoms.     

高分子自组装ZnO纳米带合成过程的研究

ZnO nanobelts were synthesized from zinc acetate (Zn(CH₃COO)₂) and polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) at about 300 ℃, 400 ℃, and 550 ℃. The products were characterized by scanning electron microscope(SEM) and transmission electron microscope(TEM). The ZnO nanobelts were typically 10～30 μm in length and 30～8 000 nm in width. The results show that the ZnO Y-nanobelts were formed owing to dislocation structure. The thermal treatment of 120 ℃ and enough time for growth of the crystal are essential to ZnO nanobelts synthesis.
