Antibacterial behaviour of quaternized poly(vinyl chloride)-g-poly(4-vinyl pyridine) graft copolymers

Amphiphilic graft copolymers consisting of poly(vinyl chloride)(PVC) main chains and poly(4-vinyl pyridine)(P4VP) side chains were synthesized via atom transfer radical polymerization(ATRP) using direct initiation of chlorine atoms. The successful synthesis of PVC-g-P4 VP graft copolymers was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance(1H-NMR). Transmission electron microscope(TEM) and small angle X-ray scattering(SAXS) analysis showed that PVC-g-P4 VP exhibited microphase-separated, ordered structure with 37.6 nm of domain spacing, which was not observed in neat PVC. For antibacterial applications, the tertiary nitrogen atoms of PVC-gP4 VP was quaternized using 1-bromohexane, as confirmed by FTIR measurements. Bacteria including Escherichia coli(E. coli), Staphylococcus aureus(S. aureus), Bacillus cereus(B. cereus), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa(P. aeruginosa) were completely killed in 24 h on the quaternized PVC-g-P4VP(46% grafting) surface, indicating its excellent antibacterial behavior while it showed to be cytotoxic to mammalian cell.

A new Co(II) metal-organic coordination polymer based on flexible bis(imidazole) and aromatic dicarboxylate co-ligands, namely [Co(bix)(nph)]n(H2nph = 3-nitrophthalic acid, bix = 1,4-bis(imidazole-1-ylmethyl)benzene), has been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, TG, IR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with a = 9.3767(14), b = 10.1451(15), c = 12.1488(17), α = 102.6450(10), β = 108.856(2), γ = 98.807(2)°, V = 1035.3(3)3, Z = 2, C22H17 Co N5O6, Mr = 506.34, Dc = 1.624 g/cm3, μ = 0.882 mm-1 and F(000) = 518. In the complex, the nph2- ligands connect neighbouring cobalt atoms to form binuclear [Co(nph)]2 subunits, which are linked by pairs of bix ligands to form a 2D honeycomb-like(6,3) network. In addition, the compound is further extended into a 3D supramolecular architecture by π···π stacking interactions. Moreover, the luminescence and catalytic properties of the complex are investigated.

Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography method for measuring the composition of aquatic humic substances

A hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) method was developed to measure the composition of humic substances from river, reservoir, and treated wastewater based on their physicochemical properties. The current method fractionates the humic substances into four well-defined groups based on parallel analyses with a neutral and a cationic HILIC column, using mobile phases of varied compositions and pH. The results indicate that: (i) the proportion of carboxylic acids in the humic substances from terrestrial origins is less than half of that from treated wastewater (Jeddah, KSA), (ii) a higher content of basic compounds was observed in the humic substances from treated wastewater and Ribou Reservoir (Cholet, France) than in the sample from Loire River (France), (iii) a higher percentage of hydrophobic macromolecules were found in the humic substances from Loire River than in the other samples, and (iv) humic substances of treated wastewater contained less ionic neutral compounds (i.e., pK_a 5–9) than the waters from terrestrial origins. The physicochemical property disparity amongst the compounds in each humic substances sample was also evaluated. The humic substances from the lightly humic Loire river displayed the highest disparity, whereas the highly humic Suwannee river (Georgia, USA) showed the most homogeneous humic substances.     

Theoretical insight of nitric oxide adsorption on neutral and charged Pdn (n = 1–5) clusters

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations within the framework of generalized gradient approximation have been used to systematically investigate the adsorption of nitric oxide (NO) molecule on neutral, cationic, and anionic Pd_n (n = 1–5) clusters. NO coordinate to one Pd atom of the cluster by the end‐on mode, where the tilted end‐on structure is more favorable due to the additional electron in the π* orbital. On the contrary, in the neutral and cationic Pd₂ system, NO coordinates to the bridge site of cluster preferably by the side‐on mode. Charge transfer between Pd clusters and NO molecule and the corresponding weakening of N? O bond is an essential factor for the adsorption. The N? O stretching frequency follow the order of cationic > neutral > anionic. Binding energy of NO on anionic clusters is found to be greater than those of neutral and cationic clusters. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Solubility measurement and modelling of 1,8-dinitronaphthalene in nine organic solvents from T = (273.15 to 308.15) K and mixing properties of solutions

The solubility of 1,8-dinitronaphthalene in acetonitrile, methanol, ethanol, trichloromethane, isopropanol, acetone, toluene, ethyl acetate and butyl alcohol were obtained experimentally at temperatures ranging from (273.15 to 308.15) K under 0.1 MPa by using a gravimetric method. The solubility of 1,8-dinitronaphthalene in those solvents increases with an increase in temperature. The solubility values decrease according to the following order: acetone > (acetonitrile, ethyl acetate) > trichloromethane > toluene > methanol > ethanol > isopropanol > butyl alcohol. Three models, the modified Apelblat equation, Wilson and NRTL were used to correlate the solubility of 1,8-dinitronaphthalene in the solvents studied. The calculated solubility by the modified Apelblat equation provides better agreement than those evaluated by the other two models. The regressed results via the three models are all acceptable for the solubility of 1,8-dinitronaphthalene in the selected solvents. Furthermore, the mixing Gibbs energy, mixing enthalpy, and mixing entropy for per 1 mol of mixture of 1,8-dinitronaphthalene and solvents were calculated based on the Wilson model. The dissolution process of 1,8-dinitronaphthalene in the selected solvents is spontaneous and exothermic.     

Solubility and physic-chemical properties of NaH2PO4 in phosphoric acid,sodium chloride and their mixture solutions at T = (298.15 and 313.15) K

In this study, solubility and physic-chemical properties of sodium dihydrogen phosphate in sodium chloride, phosphoric acid and their mixture solutions at T = (298.15 and 313.15) K have been investigated by using isothermal dissolution method. In the three systems, the solubility of NaH₂PO₄ always increases with the temperature increasing and decreases with molar concentration of phosphoric acid (sodium chloride) increasing because of the same ion effect. Solubility data of sodium dihydrogen phosphate in the mixed solution of sodium chloride and phosphoric acid is basically required for designing and optimizing the solvent extraction process in the industrial production.

设计合成了4种对称的以不同供/吸电子基团为共轭桥、两端连接meso位苯或噻吩取代的新型氟化硼二吡咯甲川(BODIPY)衍生物;通过1H NMR,13C NMR和MS等手段对其进行了结构表征;并采用紫外吸收光谱、荧光发射光谱及循环伏安(CV)等方法研究了其光电性能.紫外光谱数据表明,BODIPY结构具有明显的特征吸收,中间的桥联基团无论是强供电子的苯并二噻吩(BDT)还是强吸电子的苯并噻二唑(BT)均不能使整个分子产生明显的分子内电子迁移(ICT).另一方面,meso位的取代基可与BODIPY核产生微弱的ICT,且meso位噻吩取代的分子比meso位苯环取代的分子表现出更强的ICT.紫外光谱数据和电化学测试结果表明,meso位噻吩取代的分子比meso位苯环取代的分子具有更低的氧化电位和更窄的能隙.
