Preparation of an anionic azo pigment-pillared layered double hydroxide and the thermo- and photostability of the resulting intercalated material

A large anionic pigment has been intercalated into a layered double hydroxide (LDH) host by ion-exchange of an Mg/Al LDH-nitrate precursor with a solution of C.I. Pigment Red 48:2 (the calcium salt of 4-((5-chloro-4-methyl-2-sulfophenyl)azo)-3-hydroxy-2-naphthalene-carboxylic acid), in ethane-1,2-diol. After intercalation of the pigment, the interlayer distance in the LDH increases from 0.86 to 1.72 nm. Infrared spectra and TG-DTA curves reveal the presence of a complex system of supramolecular host-guest interactions. The UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectra of C.I. Pigment Red 48:2 show marked changes after heating at 200 °C and above, whereas there are no significant changes in the spectra of the intercalated pigment after heating at temperatures up to 300 °C, showing that the thermostability is markedly enhanced by intercalation in the LDH host. The pigment-intercalated LDHs exhibits much higher photostability to UV light than the pristine pigment, in the case of both the pure solids and their composites with polypropylene, as shown by measurement of CIE 1976 L^*a^*b^* color difference (ΔE) values.     

Antioxidant activity and Neurite outgrowth-enhancing activity of scorbamic acid and a red pigment derived from ascorbic acid

Abstract

L-Ascorbic acid (AA), known as vitamin C, can form browning products by a non-enzymatic process during storage and the browning products cause deterioration of agricultural products. In the browning reaction, a red pigment, 2,2´-nitrilodi-2(2´)-deoxy-L-ascorbic acid ammonium salt (NDA), is generated from AA via L-scorbamic acid (SCA) as an intermediate. However, the biological activities of SCA and NDA have not yet been clarified. In this study, we assayed the antioxidant activities of SCA and NDA using ABTS radical cation and their neurite outgrowth-enhancing activities in PC12 cells. SCA showed stronger radical-scavenging activity than that of AA, while NDA hardly showed any activity. SCA and NDA enhanced the neurite outgrowth induced by dibutyryl cyclic AMP after their incorporation into cells in the same manner as that of AA. The results indicated that SCA has antioxidant activity and that SCA and NDA have neurite outgrowth-enhancing activity.

超高效液相色谱-串联质谱法对比4种净化方式对不同色素含量基质中19种农药残留检测的影响

采用超高效液相色谱-串联质谱仪(UPLC-MS/MS)对含有不同色素等干扰物的4种基质(韭菜、姜、番茄和苹果)中19种农药残留进行检测,对比了4种净化方式对检测结果的影响,筛选出最佳检测方法。试样采用固相萃取法(SPE)和分散固相萃取法(QuEChERS)进行前处理净化。固相萃取柱包括3种,TPS柱、PC/NH2柱(石墨化碳黑氨基柱)和NH2柱(氨基柱),分散固相萃取的吸附剂为PSA(N-丙基乙二胺)和C18混合剂,外标法定量。研究表明,19种农药在5~100μg/kg质量浓度范围内线性关系良好,相关系数均大于0.99;TPS柱对色素的吸附效果最好,PSA+C18的吸附效果最差;经TPS柱、NH2柱和PSA+C18净化过的4种基质中,19种农药的平均加标回收率分别为72%~107%,71%~110%和72%~108%;经PC/NH2柱净化过的韭菜和姜中,多菌灵的回收率很低,番茄和苹果中无回收,其他18种农药的加标回收率为71%~110%;经TPS柱、PC/NH2柱、NH2柱和PSA+C18净化后,辛硫磷的相对标准偏差(RSD)普遍较高,其他18种农药的RSD值均小于20%,19种农药的检出限分别为0.001~3,0.007~3,0.02~4,0.02~2μg/kg,定量下限分别为0.003~10,0.02~10,0.06~15,0.05~8μg/kg。本研究为准确、高效、经济的检测目标物提供了可靠依据。     

Molecular Fluorescence Imaging Spectroscopy for Mapping Low Concentrations of Red Lake Pigments: Van Gogh's Painting The Olive Orchard

Vincent van Gogh used fugitive red lake pigments that have faded in some paintings. Mapping their distribution is key to understanding how his paintings have changed with time. While red lake pigments can be identified from microsamples, in situ identification and mapping remain challenging. This paper explores the ability of molecular fluorescence imaging spectroscopy to identify and, more importantly, map residual non‐degraded red lakes. The high sensitivity of this method enabled identification of the emission spectra of eosin (tetrabromine fluorescein) lake mixed with lead or zinc white at lower concentrations than elemental X‐ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy used on account of bromine. The molecular fluorescence mapping of residual eosin and two carmine red lakes in van Gogh's The Olive Orchard is demonstrated and compared with XRF imaging spectroscopy. The red lakes are consistent with the composition of paint tubes known to have been used by van Gogh.

Structure of commelinin,a blue complex pigment from the blue flowers of Commelina communis

The X-ray crystal structure of natural commelinin is investigated. The results demonstrate that commelinin is a tetranuclear (4 Mg²⁺) metal complex, in which two Mg²⁺ ions chelate to six anthocyanin molecules, while the other two Mg²⁺ ions bind to six flavone molecules, stabilizing the commelinin complex, a new type of supramolecular complex.
