Functionalization of single-walled carbon nanotubes via the Bingel reaction

Single-walled carbon nanotubes have been cyclopropanated under Bingel reaction conditions, and the functionalized nanotubes have been characterized by atomic force microscopy using "chemical tagging" techniques.     

亮氨酸与异亮氨酸在金/银核-壳复合纳米粒子上的吸附状态

The Raman spectra and Surface enhanced Raman spectra (SERS) of leucine and isoleucine adsorbed on core-shell Au/Ag nanoparticles were obtained and assigned, and the different Raman peaks resulting from different vibrational models of the isomers忆groups were analysed. In Raman spectra, the leucine’s (ω(CH3)) is at 962, 945, 924 cm-1, (δas(CH3)) at 1408, 1454 cm-1; corresponding values for isoleucine are, 922 cm-1 and 1448, 1420, 1394 cm-1, respectwely. The difference in the peak positions of corresponding groups between leucine and isoleucine is more apparent in the SERS at acidic and basic conditions. The relationship between leucine and isoleucine’s concentration and SERS was interpreted preliminarily and the adsorption model on the core-shell Au/Ag nanoparticle surface was speculated.     

Determination of Trace Molybdenum in Biological Matrices by Neutron Activation Analysis

Based on consecutive extractions using bismuth diethyldithiocarbamate and thallium diethyldithiocarbamate as reagents, molybdenum was selectively and highly enriched from biological matrices, and then subjected to neutron activation analysis. Most of interfering elements, e.g., Na, K, Br, P, Fe, U, etc. were simultaneouly removed and the preconcentrated samples always showed only the r rays from molybdenum after neutron bombardment. Thus, molybdenum in the biological matrices could be accurately determined.     

Differential effects of Fas cross-linking on phospholipase D activation and related lipid metabolism in Fas-resistant A20 cells

A20 murine lymphoma cells undergoing Fas-mediated apoptosis showed increase in the activity of phospholipase D (PLD), which is involved in proliferative or mitogenic cellular responses. Using A20 cell lines that were resistant to Fas-induced apoptosis, we investigated the differential effects of Fas cross-linking on PLD activity and sphingolipid metabolism. The basal PLD activities in all of the selected three Fas-resistant clones (#5, #8, and #11) were about 2~4 folds higher than that of wild type A20 cells. Among the PLD isoforms, PLD2 expression was increased in all of the selected Fas-resistant clones. The Fas downstream signaling events triggered by Fas cross-linking, including the activations of PLD, phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C (PC-PLC), sphingomyelinase (SMase), the increase in diacylglycerol (DAG) and protein phosphorylation levels, and the translocation of protein kinase C to membrane were not changed in both of Fas-resistant clone #5 and #8. In contrast, Fas cross-linking stimulated the activity of PLD, PC-PLC, and SMase, translocation of PKC, and protein phosphorylation in Fas-resistant clone #11, similar to that of wild type cells. We also found that clone #11 had a different Fas sequence encoding Fas B which has been known to inhibit Fas-induced apoptosis. These findings suggest that increased PLD2 expression resulting in increased basal PLD activity and the blockade of Fas downstream signaling cascades may be involved to limit apoptosis induced by Fas cross-linking.     

Study of the Fluorescence System of Europium–Enoxacin and its Applications

 This paper is the study of the fluorescence enhancement of Eu³⁺-1-ethyl-6-fluoro-4-oxo-7-(1-piperazinyl)-1,8-naphthyridin-3-carbonic acid (enoxacin, EFLX) system by surfactants. It was found that sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) exhibits great enhancement on the fluorescence of the Eu-EFLX system. The molar ratio is 1:2:1 for Eu:EFLX: SDBS. Under the optimum conditions, the fluorescence intensity is a linear function of europium in the range of 1.0 × 10⁻⁸ ∼ 5.0 × 10⁻⁶ mol/L, the detection limit is 1.0 × 10⁻⁹ mol/L. The application of the Eu-EFLX-SDBS system for the determination of trace europium in rare earth samples gave satisfactory results. Received October 19, 2000. Revision August 10, 2001.

Use of odorless thiols: formal asymmetric Michael addition of hydrogen sulfide to alpha-substituted alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds

[reaction: see text] The Michael addition to alpha-substituted alpha,beta-unsaturated esters and amides using complex A containing a chiral odorless thiol proceeded diastereoselectively. The Michael adducts were converted to beta-mercapto esters and amides via a Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement with boron trifluoride etherate and a thiol exchange reaction using odorless 1-dodecanethiol. This conversion constitutes a formal asymmetric Michael addition of hydrogen sulfide to alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds using odorless thiols instead of the toxic hydrogen sulfide.     

Determination of cerium in rare earth ores by fluorescence quenching of rhodamine 6G

A fluorescence quenching method has been developed to determine cerium with rhodamine 6G. The method is based on the oxidation of rhodamine 6G by cerium(IV) in sulfuric acid solution. The linear calibration range is 4.0 × 10^–7 -1.6 × 10^–6mol/L. The detection limit is 1.0 × 10^–7 mol/L. The relative standard deviation was 1.0% (n = 5). The method has been used to determine cerium in rare earth ores, with satisfactory results. The method offers the advantages of simplisity, sensitivity and selectivity.
