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…     

Rayleigh and Hyper-Rayleigh Scatterings from the Nanometer SnO_2 Particle in Solution

Nano-materials have been extensively studied in the past[1]. The quantum effect makes the properties of nano-materials dif- ferent from that of bulk materials. A few of publications regard- ing the catalysis, electronic structure, and optics of the nanome…     

Flow Injection Analysis of Histidine with Enhanced Electrogenerated Chemiluminescence of Luminol

Histidine is one of the necessary basic amino acids in biological bases, which often controls the catalytic activity of enzymes and acts in holding the higher structure of proteins. Furthermore, it is also an important ingredient in pharmaceutical preparations used for treatment of hetpatosis and nephropathy. Therefore, the determination of histidine in biological fluids and pharmaceutical preparations is of great importance. Various methods have been proposed for the detection of histidine …     

The Electron Transfer Reaction between ρ-Nitrobenzoates and β-N, N-Dimethylaminonaphthalene

Photoinduced electron-transfer (PET) reactions are fundamentally important in biology and technology1,2. Because of the complexity of PET in biological systems, many simple compounds were synthesized to look into its detailed mechanism3. In previous papers, we reported the electron transfer reaction in the supramolecular systems assembled by mono-6-p-nitrobenzoyl-b-cyclodextrin 6 and naphthalene derivatives in aqueous solution4. In the present paper the intermolecular electron transfer from …     

New Thiophene Derivatives with Two-photon Excited Fluorescence

Organic molecules that can simultaneously absorb two or more photons in reaching theirexcited states have recently been the subject in various photon-electronic fields. Tomeet the criteria for various nonlinear optical applications, such as three-dimensionaloptical storage1 and up-converted lasing2, molecules with large two-photon absorption(TPA) cross-section σ are required and have been synthesized. These dyes generallybelong to the structural modes of D-π-D, A-π-A3 or D-π-A, where D…     

The Existence and Long-Time Behavior of Weak Solution to Bipolar Quantum Drift-Diffusion Model

The authors study the existence and long-time behavior of weak solutions to the bipolar transient quantum drift-diffusion model,a fourth order parabolic system.Using semi-discretization in time and entropy estimate,the authors get the global existence of nonnegative weak solutions to the one-dimensional model with nonnegative initial and homogenous Neumann(or periodic)boundary conditions.Furthermore,by a logarithmic Sobolev inequality,it is proved that the periodic weak solution exponentially approaches its mean value as time increases to infinity.     

Interaction of Chelerythrine Choloride in Acid Buffer with Calf-thymus DNA

Several benzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloids (BPA) were found in plants of Caprifoliaceae, Fumariaceae, Meliaceae, Papaveraceae, and Ruracea families1. BPA represent a group of natural products, exhibiting multiple pharmacological properties and biological ac…     

Refolding with Simultaneous Purification of Recombinant Human Granulocyte Colony-stimulating Factor from Escherichia coli Using Strong Anion Exchange Chromatography

Human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (hG-CSF), a single chain polypeptidecontaining 174 amino acid residues (MW=18,800, pI=6.1), is one of the hemopoieticgrowth factors which plays an important role in stimulating proliferation, differentiation,and functional activation of bloodcells1. It contains a free cysteine at position 17 andtwo intramolecular disulfide bonds, Cys36-Cys42 and Cys64-Cys74, and the two disulfidebonds in G-CSF molecule are both required for its bioactivity2. Wh…     

Gnetuhainin P, a New Isorhapontigenin Dimer from the Lianas of Gnetum hainanense

Continuous investigation on oligostilbenes from the lianas of Gnetum hainanense resulted in the isolation of a new rhapontigenin dimer, Gnetuhainin P (1), in addition to the dimers of resveratrol and oxyresveratrol reported previously1. Gnetuhainin P (1) was obtained as a yellowish amorphous powder, [(]25D +6.6 (c 0.092, MeOH). The high resolution FABMS m/z 533.1866 [M+H]+ gave a molecular formula of C30H28O9 (C30H29O9 requires 533.1812), which corresponds to a isorhapontigenin dimer. …
