Ion chromatographic determination of iodide in urine and serum using a tubular ion-selective electrode based on a homogeneous crystalline membrane

The use of a laboratory-made iodide ion-selective electrode with tubular configuration and based on a crystalline membrane (AgI/Ag₂S) as the detector for ion chromatographic determination of iodide in urine and serum is described. A CIS reversed-phase column was coated withN-cetylpyridinium chloride to prepare a low-exchange-capacity analytical column and with hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide to prepare a concentrator pre-column. A 2.0 ml min^–1 flow rate of deionized water and 0.1 mol 1^–1 KNO₃ solution was used for the pre-concentration and for the chromatographic separation, respectively. For optimum performance of the detector a background level of iodide was added into the column effluent. A linear relationship (r = 0.9997) between tubular electrode potential (as peak height) and iodide concentration in the range 5–400 g 1^–1 and a detection limit of 1.47 g 1^–1 were obtained. The method shows good reproducibility for both peak height (2.2% RSD) and retention time (1.3% RSD). Recoveries on its application to the samples were 93.0–100.9% for urine and 91.4–106.0% for serum.     

Low-molecular-weight photoresponsive supramulecular hydrogel based on a dicationic azobenzene-bridged pyridinium hydrogelator

Photoresponsive supramolecular hydrogel was fabricated from a small azobenzene-bridged dicationic pyridinium salt in the aqueous solution. The UV-vis light triggered reversible gel-sol transformation of such low-molecular-weight supramolecular hydrogel was systematically investigated through various analytical techniques.

Novel Water Soluble Fluorescent Trimethine Indocyanines Containing N-ρ-Carboxybenzyl Group

Indocyanine dyes as fluorescent labeling reagents have been used in bioanalysis1,2. Arylsulfonate indocyanine dyes 1d and 1e developed by Waggoner A. S. et al.3,4 have excellent fluorescent properties combined with good aqueous solubility, are a new generation of fluorescent label compounds for proteins, oligonucleotides and other compounds containing hydroxyl, mercaptol or primary amine groups5. However, photostability of these dyes has been a problem. Z. G. YAO et al.6 reported that p…     

还原气氛下金属－半导体催化体系Pt／MoO_3和Pt／Co_3O_4中电荷和物种传递特性的研究

利用程序升温电导法（ＴＰＥＣ）和程序升温还原法（ＴＰＲ），研究比较了还原气氛下Ｐｔ／ＭｏＯ_３和Ｐｔ／Ｃｏ_３Ｏ_４体系中不同类型的半导体氧化物和吸附氢之间电荷和物种交换的规律．发现微量Ｐｔ通过吸附解离Ｈ_２成为原子氢，在较低温度下大大加快ｎ型半导体氧化物ＭｏＯ_３和氢之间电子传递速度，显著地降低ＭｏＯ_３的还原温度，但在同样条件下却不能有效地活跃ｐ型半导体氧化物Ｃｏ_３Ｏ_４和氢之间的电子传递，因而不能明显地促进Ｃｏ_３Ｏ_４的还原．导致此现象的原因，可能与不同类型的半导体导电机构不同而引起的对氢的敏感程度不同有密切关系．

COVALENTLY BONDING CHIRAL POLYURETHANE ON AMINATED SILICA GEL： A NEW STRATEGY TO PREPARE CHIRAL STATIONARY PHASE FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY

Two polyurethanes of different molecular weights were prepared by the copolymerization of phenyl diisocyanate and diisopropyl tartrate. The polyurethanes having terminal isocyanate groups were reacted with 3-aminopropyl silica gel to afford two chiral stationary phases. The Mn of the two polyurethanes were 4057 g/mol and 6442 g/mol. The polyurethanes and the corresponding chiral stationary phases were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR and elemental analysis. The loading capacities of the polyurethanes on silica gel were 0.68 mmol units/g and 0.61 mmol units/g, respectively. The separation performance and the influence of additives, triethylamine and trichloroacetic acid, on the separation of chiral compounds were investigated by HPLC. The chiral stationary phase prepared from polyurethane with Mn of 4057 g/mol demonstrated better enantioseparation capability than that with Mn of 6442 g/mol. Additionally, it was found that the addition of triethylamine and trichloroacetic acid in the mobile phases significantly improved the enantioseparation for these two chiral stationary phases.
