General calculation of 4f-5d transition rates for rare-earth ions using many-body perturbation theory

The 4f-5d transition rates for rare-earth ions in crystals can be calculated with an effective transition operator acting between model 4f(N) and 4f(N-1)5d states calculated with effective Hamiltonian, such as semiempirical crystal Hamiltonian. The difference of the effective transition operator from the original transition operator is the corrections due to mixing in transition initial and final states of excited configurations from both the center ion and the ligand ions. These corrections are calculated using many-body perturbation theory. For free ions, there are important one-body and two-body corrections. The one-body correction is proportional to the original electric dipole operator with magnitude of approximately 40% of the uncorrected electric dipole moment. Its effect is equivalent to scaling down the radial integral (5d/r/4f) to about 60% of the uncorrected HF value. The two-body correction has magnitude of approximately 25% relative to the uncorrected electric dipole moment. For ions in crystals, there is an additional one-body correction due to ligand polarization, whose magnitude is shown to be about 10% of the uncorrected electric dipole moment.     

Preparation and characterization of trans-RhCl(CO)(TPPTS)2-intercalated layered double hydroxides

trans-RhCl(CO)(TPPTS)₂ (TPPTS=tris(m-sulfonatophenyl)phosphine) has been intercalated into Zn-Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs) by the method of ion exchange. The structure, composition and thermal stability of the composite material have been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared and ³¹P solid-state magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, elemental analysis, thermogravimetry, and differential thermal analysis. The geometry of trans-RhCl(CO)(TPPTS)₂ was fully optimized using the PM3 semiempirical molecular orbital method, and a schematic model for the intercalated species has been proposed. The thermal stability of trans-RhCl(CO)(TPPTS)₂ is significantly enhanced by intercalation, which suggests that such materials may have prospective application as the basis of a supported catalyst system for the hydroformylation of higher olefins.

Preparation of a piezoelectric immunosensor for the detection of Salmonella paratyphi A by immobilization of antibodies on electropolymerized films

 To obtain new coatings for the preparation of piezoelectric immunosensors, the anodic polymerization of o-aminophenol (oAP), o-phenylenediamine (oPD) and m-phenylenediamine (mPD) onto a gold-plated crystal has been studied. The possibility of immobilizing an antibody (anti-S. paratyphi A) onto the crystal via the electropolymerized films was investigated. The poly-mPD film gave the best results for immobilizing the antibody. With antibodies crosslinked on the poly-mPD film, a piezoelectric immuno-assay for the detection of S. paratyphi A was proposed. The shift (ΔF=F_20s−F_400s, Hz) between the frequency at 20 s after the addition of sample (F_20s), and that of 400 s (F_400s) was used to construct a calibration graph, and shortening of the assay time was achieved. The S. paratyphi A concentration in the range of 10^5–10⁹ cells/ml can be measured by this method. Received: 9 May 1996/Revised: 6 September 1996/Accepted: 19 September 1996

Cyclodextrin Solubilization of the Antibacterial Agents Triclosan and Triclocarban: Effect of Ionization and Polymers

The natural β-cyclodextrin (βCD) and its complexes have limited solubility in aqueous solutions. This low aqueous solubility, as well as low aqueous solubility of the guest molecule (i.e. triclosan or triclocarban (TCC)), can result in low complexation efficiency (CE). The purpose of this study was to enhance the apparent intrinsic solubility (S ₀) of the guest molecule and its βCD complexes through ionization and addition of auxiliary compounds such as polymers, amino acids and metal ions. Both triclosan (pK _a 7.9) and TCC (pK _a 12.7) are weak acids. Addition of ethanol to the complexation medium enhanced S ₀ of both triclosan and TCC but at the same time ethanol lowered the stability constant (K _c ) of their βCD complexes resulting in overall lowering of CE. Addition of small amount of water-soluble polymers enhanced the βCD solubilization of both guests, and addition lysine enhanced the solubilization of TCC. Ionization of triclosan resulted in significant enhancement of CE and enhanced triclosan release from tablets containing triclosan/βCD complex. The effect of ionization was not as pronounced in the case of TCC.This revised version was published online in July 2005 with a corrected issue number.     

A modified internal lock-mass method for calibration of the product ions derived from sustained off-resonance irradiation collision-induced dissociation using a Fourier transform mass spectrometer

A modified internal lock-mass calibration method is introduced for improving the mass measurement accuracy of the product ion spectra derived from sustained off-resonance irradiation collision-induced dissociation (SORI-CID) Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) mass spectrometry. This method involves an initial external calibration of the Fourier transform mass spectrometer to obtain the initial A- and B-terms for the equation (f(i) = A/(m/z)(i) + B). The A-term is adjusted by using an empirical relationship between the up-shift of the A-term and the pulse-gas duration, whereas the B-term is adjusted by using the mass of the unfragmented precursor ion from the SORI-CID mass spectrum of the unknown sample as internal lock-mass. These adjusted A- and B-terms are then used to provide exact mass SORI-CID calibration for the unknown sample. The modified internal lock-mass method achieved average mass measurement accuracy of approximately 3 ppm which is significantly better than that of the conventional internal lock-mass calibration ( approximately 9 ppm) and is approaching that of the internal calibration ( approximately 2 ppm) and requires no addition of internal calibrant or instrumental modifications.
