Synthesis and biodistribution of 99mTcN(PDTC)2as a potential brain imaging agent

The preparation of the bis(N-propyl dithiocarbamato) nitrido technetium-99m complex ^99mTcN(PDTC)₂ (PDTC: N-propyl dithiocarbamato) was carried out as a freeze-dried formulation, through a simple procedure involving the initial of ^99mTcO_4- with succinic dihydrazide in the presence of stannous chloride as reducing agent and propylenediamine tetraacetic acid (PDTA) as complexant, followed by the addition of the ligand sodium salt of N-propyl dithiocarbamate to afford the final product. The radiochemical purity of the complex was over 90%, as measured by thin layer chromatography. No decomposition of the complex at room temperature was observed over a period of 12 hours. Its partition coefficient indicated that it was a good lipophilic complex. Biodistribution in mice showed that the complex accumulated in the brain with high uptake. The brain uptake (ID%/g) was 5.07 and the brain/blood ratio 1.34 at 5-minute post-injection. This suggested a potential usefulness of the complex as a brain perfusion imaging agent. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Influence of acid treatments of carbon nanotube precursors on Ni/CNT in the synthesis of carbon nanotubes

The Ni/CNT catalyst was fabricated by directly dipping carbon nanotube precursors refluxed in 4 M of nitric acid into Ni electroless plating bath, and used to synthesize new carbon nanotubes. The experimental results indicate that the duration of acid-treatment of carbon nanotubes precursors exerts a great influence on the catalysis of Ni/CNT in the synthesis of carbon nanotubes and hence the structures of the new carbon nanotubes. When the carbon nanotubes precursors were refluxed for 0.5 h in 4 M of nitric acid, bamboo-shaped carbon nanotubes (BSCNT) or Y junction carbon nanotubes in the carbon products were obtained. As the duration of acid-treatment of carbon nanotubes precursors increased to 6 h, the as-prepared Ni/CNT displayed higher activity, and the carbon nanotube products were high pure without any Y junction structure or any separation layers in hollow.     

A theoretical study of bond selective photochemistry in CH2BrI

Bromoiodomethane photodissociation in the low-lying excited states has been characterized using unrestricted Hartree-Fock, configuration-interaction-singles, and complete active space self-consistent field calculations with the SDB-aug-cc-pVTZ, aug-cc-pVTZ, and 3-21g** basis sets. According to the results of the vertical excited energies and oscillator strengths of these low-lying excited states, bond selectivity is predicted. Subsequently, the minimum energy paths of the first excited singlet state and the third excited state for the dissociation reactions were calculated using the complete active space self-consistent field method with 3-21g** basis set. Good agreement is found between the calculations and experimental data. The relationships of excitations, the electronic structures at Franck-Condon points, and bond selectivity are discussed.     

A new method for the derivation of exact vibration-rotational kinetic energy operator in internal coordinates

An efficient angular momentum method is presented and used to derive analytic expressions for the vibration-rotational kinetic energy operator of polyatomic molecules.The vibration-rotational kinetic energy operator is expressed in terms of the total angular momentum operator J,the angular momentum operator J and the momentum operator p conjugate to Z in the molecule-fixed frame Not only the method of derivation is simpler than that in the previous work,but also the expressions ot the kinetic energy operators arc more compact.Particularly,the operator is easily applied to different vibrational or rovibrational problems of the polyatomic molecules by variations of matrix elements Gn of a mass-dependent constant symmetric matrix     

氢键构筑的新颖微孔配位聚合物[Co2(Hisor)2·(4,4′-bpy)2(H2O)2]·4,4′-bpy的合成与结构

A novel microporous coordination polymer [Co2(Hisor)2(4,4′-bpy)2(H2O)2]·4,4′-bpy was synthesized by hydrothermal reaction and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis and IR spectrum. The crystal belongs to the monoclinic system and space group is P2/n with a=1.040 6(3) nm, b=1.138 8(4) nm, c=1.854 7(6) nm, β=102.991(6)°, V= 2.141 6(12) nm3, Z=2, Dc=1.443 Mg/m3, Mr=930.62, μ=0.842 mm-1, F(000)=952, GOF= 1.072, R=0.065 4, wR=0.146 8[I>2σ(I)]. There are two crystallographically independent Co(Ⅱ) ions in the title complex. The Hisor2- and 4,4′-bpy link the metal ions into 2D grids with dimension of 0.522 3 nm×1.138 8 nm. There are O—H…O and N—H…O hydrogen bonds in the complex resulting in the formation of 3D network with 1D channels, in which are free 4,4′-bpy molecules.     

以学生为中心的物理化学远程教学初探

During the fight against the new coronavirus epidemic, the "Physical Chemistry" team of Beijing Normal University used various network platforms and tools, such as MOOC of China University, Rain Classroom and WeChat Group in the teaching process. The exploration and practice of online learning of "Physical Chemistry" is carried out based on MOOC teaching, with student learning as the center and teacher guidance as the support. Taking the most difficult chapter of "fundamentals for statistical thermodynamic" as an example, we designed a complex teaching program that includes previews, watching MOOC videos in class, real-time online exercises, teachers' answers, and after-class reflection and questioning. The students were encouraged to learn independently through the reserved information, designed activities and assignments. Practice shows that the online course has cultivated the students' self-management ability, trained their critical thinking skills, and achieved good teaching results.

CoMFA, CoMSIA, and molecular hologram QSAR studies of novel neuronal nAChRs ligands-open ring analogues of 3-pyridyl ether

3-Pyridyl ethers are excellent nAChRs ligands, which show high subtype selectivity and binding affinity to alpha4beta2 nAChR. Although the quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) of nAChRs ligands has been widely investigated using various classes of compounds, the open ring analogues of 3-pyridyl ethers have been less involved in these studies due to the greater flexibility of this kind of molecule. In this study, two three-dimensional QSAR techniques and one two-dimensional QSAR technique were used to correlate the molecular structure with the biological activity of 64 analogues of 3-pyridyl ethers. Three different QSAR models were established. Their performances in the QSAR studies of open ring analogues of 3-pyridyl ethers were evaluated by the statistical values in the corresponding models. All models exhibited satisfactory predictive power. Of these models, the HQSAR behaved optimally in terms of the statistical values with q2=0.845, r2=0.897. Finally, graphic interpretation of three different models provided coincident information about the interaction of the ligand-receptor complex and supplied useful guidelines for the synthesis of novel, potent ligands.
