Mechanistic Insights into the Synthesis of Fully Condensed Polyhedral Octaphenylsilsesquioxane

A comprehensive study on the efficient one‐pot synthesis of polyhedral octaphenylsilsesquioxane (OPS) is reported via the hydrolytic condensation of phenyltrimethoxysilane (PTMS) in the presence of basic catalyst to investigate the specific synthesis mechanism. The synthetic reactions are monitored with real time infrared (RTIR) spectroscopy. Then RTIR coupled with ²⁹Si nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOF‐MS) are used to monitor the reactions and identify the intermediary species during the reaction. The rapid hydrolysis of PTMS is detected by RTIR. Contrary to previous reports, the ladder‐like structured species are identified as intermediates during the reaction process. It is suggested that formation of caged T₈ OPS is realized through the chain break and rearrangement of the ladder‐like phenyltrimethoxysilanes. Accordingly, a scheme from hydrolysis of the PTMS to formation of the OPS is provided.     

A novel PCR-based technology for rapid and non-sequencing authentication of Bombyx batryticatus using species-specific primers

A novel PCR technology was developed to detect short DNA fragments using species-specific primers for rapid and non-sequencing authentication of Bombyx batryticatus based on differences in the mitochondrial genome. Three specifically designed primer reactions were established to target species for the reliable identification of their commercial products. They were confirmed to have a high inter-species specificity and intra-species stability. The limit of detection was estimated as 1 ng of genomes for Beauveria bassiana and 100 pg for Bombyx mori and Metarhizium anisopliae. Furthermore, validation results demonstrated that raw materials and their processed products can be conveniently authenticated with good sensitivity and precision using this newly proposed approach. In particular, when counterfeits were assayed, these primer sets performed well, whereas COI barcoding technology did not. These could also assist in the discrimination and identification of adulterates of other animal-derived medicines in their pulverized and processed forms and even in complexes.     

尿素添加量对水浴合成羟基磷灰石晶须 组成、形貌和结构的影响

通过不同尿素添加量研究水浴合成法制备羟基磷灰石晶须的过程参数,分析对产物的组成、形貌和结构产生的影响.采用X射线衍射仪(XRD)、红外光谱(FT-IR),扫描电镜(SEM)与能谱(EDS),高分辨率透射显微镜(HRTEM)等分析手段,对HA晶须的相结构、化学基团、微区成分和微观结构进行了表征.结果表明,在水浴条件下,可以成功地合成结晶度高、组成均一的羟基磷灰石晶须.随着尿素量的提高晶须长径比呈现先增加后降低的趋势,在微观形貌上羟基磷灰石晶须逐渐由针状向绒球状转化.通过红外分析,随着尿素的增加,在尿素缓慢分解的过程中,通过二氧化碳和氨的逐步释放,羟基基团、磷酸根基团和碳酸根基团在逐步加强.通过透射电子显微镜的分析,可以证明晶须沿c轴方向生长,恰当控制尿素的量,可以调控晶须的长径比,也可以通过尿素量的调控,获得一种绒球状羟基磷灰石粉体.

Superballistic wavepacket spreading in double kicked rotors

We investigate possible ways in which a quantum wavepacket spreads. We show that in a general class of double kicked rotor system, a wavepacket may undergo superballistic spreading; i.e., its variance increases as the cubic of time. The conditions for the observed superballistic spreading and two related characteristic time scales are studied. Our results suggest that the symmetry of the studied model and whether it is a Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser system are crucial to its wavepacket spreading behavior. Our study also sheds new light on the exponential wavepacket spreading phenomenon previously observed in the double kicked rotor system.
