Development of high-performance liquid chromatographic fingerprints for distinguishing Chinese Angelica from related umbelliferae herbs

A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) fingerprint of Chinese Angelica (CA) was developed basing on the consistent chromatograms of 40 CA samples (Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels). The unique properties of this HPLC fingerprints were validated by analyzing 13 related herbs including 4 Japanese Angelicae Root samples (JA, A. acutiloba Kitagawa and A. acutiloba Kitagawa var. sugiyame Hikino), 6 Szechwan Lovage Rhizome samples (SL, Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort.) and 3 Cnidium Rhizome samples (CR, Cnidium officinale Makino). Both correlation coefficients of similarity in chromatograms and relative peak areas of characteristic compounds were calculated for quantitative expression of the HPLC fingerprints. The amount of senkyunolide A in CA was less than 30-fold of that in SL and CR samples, which was used as a chemical marker to distinguish them. JA was easily distinguished from CA, SL and CR based on either chromatographic patterns or the amount of coniferyl ferulate. No obvious difference between SL and CR chromatograms except the relative amount of some compounds, suggesting that SL and CR might have very close relationship in terms of chemotaxonomy. Ferulic acid and Z-ligustilide were unequivocally determined whilst senkyunolide I, senkyunolide H, coniferyl ferulate, senkyunolide A, butylphthalide, E-ligustilide, E-butylidenephthalide, Z-butylidenephthalide and levistolide A were tentatively identified in chromatograms based on their atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) MS data and the comparison of their UV spectra with those published in literatures.     

Experimental and modeling study on decomposition kinetics of methane hydrates in different media

The decomposition kinetic behaviors of methane hydrates formed in 5 cm3 porous wet activated carbon were studied experimentally in a closed system in the temperature range of 275.8-264.4 K. The decomposition rates of methane hydrates formed from 5 cm3 of pure free water and an aqueous solution of 650 g x m(-3) sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) were also measured for comparison. The decomposition rates of methane hydrates in seven different cases were compared. The results showed that the methane hydrates dissociate more rapidly in porous activated carbon than in free systems. A mathematical model was developed for describing the decomposition kinetic behavior of methane hydrates below ice point based on an ice-shielding mechanism in which a porous ice layer was assumed to be formed during the decomposition of hydrate, and the diffusion of methane molecules through it was assumed to be one of the control steps. The parameters of the model were determined by correlating the decomposition rate data, and the activation energies were further determined with respect to three different media. The model was found to well describe the decomposition kinetic behavior of methane hydrate in different media.     

Fluoro-substituted DPP-bisthiophene conjugated polymer with azides in the side chains as ambipolar semiconductor and photoresist

Photoresists are essential for the fabrication of flexible electronics through all-photolithographic processes. Single component semiconducting photoresist exhibits both semiconducting and photo-patterning properties, and as a result, the device fabrication process can be simplified. However, the design of semiconducting polymeric photoresist with ambipolar semiconducting property remains challenging. In this paper, we report a single component semiconducting photoresist (PFDPPF4T-N₃) by incorporating azide groups and noncovalent conformation locks into the side alkyl chains and conjugated backbones of a diketopyrrolopyrrole-based conjugated polymer, respectively. The results reveal that PFDPP4FT-N₃ exhibits ambipolar semiconducting property with hole and electron mobilities up to 1.12 and 1.17 cm² V^?1 s^?1, respectively. Moreover, field effect transistors with the individual photo-patterned thin films of PFDPPF4T-N₃ also show ambipolar semiconducting behavior with hole and electron mobilities up to 0.66 and 0.80 cm² V^?1 s^?1, respectively. These results offer a simple yet effective design strategy for high-performance single component semiconducting photoresists, which hold great potential for flexible electronics processed by all photolithography.

氨基苯磺酸和氨基萘磺酸在反相离子对色谱和离子色谱中分离行为的比较

本文考察了氨基苯磺酸和氨基萘磺酸染料中间体在反相离子对色谱和离子色谱中的分离行为，结果表明一些异构体在反相色谱中的保留顺序与离子色谱中的顺序发生颠倒。静电作用力在离子色谱中对保留值的贡献比在反相离子对色谱中对保留值的贡献要大，而疏水作用力在反相离子对色谱中对保留值的贡献却较在离子色谱中对保留值的贡献要大。离子对色谱更有利于有机离子的分离分析。     

钇对2618合金组织及性能的影响

采用X射线，光学显微镜及扫描电镜等手段研究了2618合金中的组织与相结构，并研究了元素钆在2618合金中的存在形式及其对合金力学性能的影响。结果表明，微量钆元素在铝合金中是以化合物形式存在的；钆对合金中的铸态组织及Al9FeNi仃形态没有影响。由于微量钆的加入，降低了铜与镁在2618合金中的固溶量，减少了时效析出相A2CuMg数量，从而降低2618合金的室温强度帮在250℃的高温瞬时强度；但由于微量钆减少了铜与镁在2618合金中的扩散速度，延缓了时效机的粗化，并由于第二相数量的增多，因此提高了2618合金在250℃经100h高温热暴露后的高温瞬时强度。     

Localized molecular orbitals and the problem of quasi-aromaticity in trinuclear molybdenum cluster compounds with cores of the type [MO3(μ3-X)(μ-Y)3] (X, Y = O, S, n = 4; X = O, Y = Cl, n = 5)

Calculations of localized molecular orbitals (LMO) and their energy levels for the cluster cores [MO₃O₄]⁴⁺, [MO₃SO₃]⁴⁺, [MO₃OS₃]⁴⁺, [Mo₃S₄]⁴⁺ and [MO₃OCl₃]⁵⁺ have been made by the use of energy-localized CNDO/2-LMO. The results of these LMO calculations show that the six-membered closed and continuous π-conjugated systems around the [MO₃Y₃] rings, each of which is formed from three synergically connected three-centered two-electron π bonds, is the most significant feature of the electronic structure for the quasi-aromatic clusters [Mo₃(μ₃-Y)(μ-X)₃]⁴⁺ (X, Y = O, S), and the size and electronegativity of the bridging Y atoms exhibit significant effects on the degree of quasi-aromaticity of these cluster compounds. For the non-aromatic reference cluster [Mo₃OCl₃]⁵⁺, the results of our calculations also show a bonding scheme with only one isolated π bond, thus leading to the loss of quasi-aromaticity; and meanwhile, there is a pair of extra electrons localized on the apical molybdenum atom of the Mo₃ triangle, thus with three Mo---Mo single bonds.
