Application of Short-wave Near-infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy in Controlling Extract of Fructus Cnidii Using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

Fructus cnidii （Chinese name shechuangzi） is the fruit produced by Cnidium monnieri （L.） Cusson （Umbelliferae）. It is a perennial herb that is used to treat skin-related diseases and gynecopathyell. Recent pharmacological studies have revealed crude extracts or components isolated from fructus cnidii possess antiallergic, antipruritic, antidermatophytic, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiosteoporotic activities. Osthole and imperatorin are the major compounds present in shechuangzi. They are often used as standards for the evaluation of the quality of shechuangzi products.

Host–Guest Complexation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">β</Emphasis>-, <Emphasis Type="Italic">γ</Emphasis>-Cyclodextrin with Alkyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromides in Aqueous Solution

As a continuation of our previous investigation, interactions between cyclodextrin (β-CD), γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) and alkyl trimethylammonium bromides in aqueous solutions have been studied with titration calorimetry and ¹H NMR at 298.15 K. The results are discussed in terms of the amphiphilic interaction of CD with surfactants and the iceberg structure formed by water molecules existing around the hydrophobic tail of surfactant molecules. The stoichiometry of the β-CD–surfactant system is 1:1 whereas that of the γ-CD–surfactant system is 1:2. The corresponding formation enthalpy (negative) of the complexes of the two systems decreases with an increase in the number of carbon atoms (n) in hydrophobic chain of surfactant molecule, C _n H_2n+1, whereas the entropy increases with the enlargement of n.     

Preparation of crosslinked polystyrene-supported ethylenediamine via a S-containing spacer and adsorption properties towards metal ions

Two novel chelating resins were prepared by anchoring ethylenediamine to crosslinked polystyrene via a spacer containing sulfide. Their structures were characterized by Fourier transform-infrared spectra (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Porous structure parameters of the resins were measured by ASAP 2020 using BET and BJH methods. Their adsorption capacities for several heavy metal ions especially Hg²⁺ were investigated. The results showed that for the two resins, the more N contents did not mean the better adsorption capacity and the saturated adsorption capacity of poly(2-ethylenediamidomercaptomethylstyrene) (PSM-EDA) for Hg²⁺ could reach to 3.0 mmol/g at room temperature. Isothermal adsorptions of the resins for Hg²⁺ could be described by Langmuir formula. The adsorption mechanism of the resins for Hg²⁺, Cu²⁺ and Ag⁺ was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and FTIR.     

Standard molar enthalpies of formation of Ln(C9H6NO)2(C2H3O2) (Ln: Nd, Sm)

Using an on-line solution-reaction isoperibol calorimeter, the standard molar enthalpies of reaction for the general thermochemical reaction: LnCl₃·6H₂O(s) + 2C₉H₇NO(s) + CH₃COONa(s) = Ln(C₉H₆NO)₂(C₂H₃O₂)(s) + NaCl(s) + 2HCl(g) + 6H₂O(l) (Ln: Nd, Sm), were determined at T=298.15 K, as  kJ mol^−l, respectively. From the mentioned standard molar enthalpies of reaction and other auxiliary thermodynamic quantities, the standard molar enthalpies of formation of Ln(C₉H₆NO)₂(C₂H₃O₂)(s) (Ln: Nd, Sm), at T=298.15 K, have been derived to be: −(1494.7±3.3) and −(1501.5±3.4) kJ mol^−l, respectively.     

Direct evidence of oxidized gold on supported gold catalysts

Supported gold catalysts have drawn worldwide interest due to the novel properties and potential applications in industries. However, the origin of the catalytic activity in gold nanoparticles is still not well understood. In this study, time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy (TOF-SIMS) has been applied to investigate the nature of gold in Au (1.3 wt %)/gamma-Al2O3 and Au (2.8 wt %)/TiO2 catalysts prepared by the deposition-precipitation method. The SIMS spectrum of the supported gold catalysts presented AuO-, AuO2-, and AuOH- ion clusters. These measurements show direct evidence for oxidized gold on supported gold catalysts and may be helpful to gaining better understanding of the origin of the catalytic activity.     

Calorimetric and thermal decomposition kinetic study of Tb(Tyr)(Gly)<Subscript>3</Subscript>Cl<Subscript>3</Subscript>·3H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O

The solid-state ternary complex of terbium chloride with L-tyrosine and glycine, [Tb(Tyr)(Gly)₃Cl₃·3H₂O], was synthesized and characterized. Using a solution-reaction isoperibol calorimeter, the enthalpy of reaction for the following reaction, TbCl₃·6H₂O(s)+Tyr(s)+3Gly(s)=Tb(Tyr)(Gly)₃Cl₃·3H₂O(s)+3H₂O(l), was determined to be (5.1±0.6) kJ mol^-1. The standard enthalpy of formation of Tb(Tyr)(Gly)₃Cl₃-3H₂O at T=298.15 K has been derived as -(4267.3±2.3) kJ mol^-1. The thermal decomposition kinetics of the complex was studied by non-isothermal thermogravimetry in the temperature range of 325-675 K. Two main mass loss stages existed in the process of the decomposition of the complex, the kinetic parameters for the second stage were analyzed by means of differential and integral methods, respectively. Comparing the results of differential and integral methods, mechanism functions of the thermal decomposition reaction for its second stage were proposed. The kinetic equation can be expressed as: d/dt=Aexp(-E/RT)(1-)². The average values of the apparent activation energy E and pre-exponential factor A were 213.18 kJ mol^-1 and 2.51·10²⁰ s^-1, respectively.

The energy of combustion of crystalline 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid in oxygen at T=298.15 K was determined to be -4795.9±1.3 kJ mol^-1 using combustion calorimetry. The derived standard molar enthalpies of formation of 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid in crystalline and gaseous states at T=298.15 K, Δ_fH_m ^Θ (cr) and Δ_fH_m ^Θ (g), were -852.9±1.9 and -721.7±2.0 kJ mol^-1, respectively. The reliability of the results obtained was commented upon and compared with literature values. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
