Theoretical study on the mechanism for the excited-state double proton transfer process of an asymmetric Schiff base ligand

Excited-state double proton transfer (ESDPT) in the 1-[(2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzylidene)-hydrazonomethyl]-naphthalen-2-ol (HYDRAVH₂) ligand was studied by the density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory method. The analysis of frontier molecular orbitals, infrared spectra, and non-covalent interactions have cross-validated that the asymmetric structure has an influence on the proton transfer, which makes the proton transfer ability of the two hydrogen protons different. The potential energy surfaces in both S₀ and S₁ states were scanned with varying O-H bond lengths. The results of potential energy surface analysis adequately proved that the HYDRAVH₂ can undergo the ESDPT process in the S₁ state and the double proton transfer process is a stepwise proton transfer mechanism. Our work can pave the way towards the design and synthesis of new molecules.

THERMODYNAMIC AND PARTICLE-DYNAMIC STUDIES ON SYNTHESIS OF SILICA NANOPARTICLES USING MICROWAVE-INDUCED PLASMA CVD

1. Introduction1.1 Silica nanoparticles and synthesis methods Silica (SiO2) nanoparticles are widely used in industry asan active filler for polymer reinforcement, a rheologicaladditive in fluids, a free flow agent in powders, and anagent for chemical mechanical polishing during IC (inte-grated circuit) fabrication (Sniegowski & de Boer, 2000).Silica powder is also used for producing silicon carbide(Koc & Cattamanchi, 1998) or opaque silica aerosols (Leeet al., 1995).

OFDMA中继系统中基于QoS保证的资源分配算法

研究了 OFDMA 中继下行链路通信系统中的动态资源分配问题,提出了一种可以保证用户最低 QoS 需求的资源分配算法.首先在简化资源优化问题的过程中,采用等功率分配方法以降低算法复杂度,然后通过拉格朗日松弛优化方法推导出了子载波分配和中继选择最优解,并在此基础上引入用户速率权衡因子,根据速率权衡因子越大的用户,越具有选择子载波和中继的优先权这一准则进行子载波分配和中继选择.仿真结果表明:新算法能够获得较高的系统容量,同时也能很好地保证不同用户的最低速率需求.     

Synthesis and gelation behaviors of five new dimeric cholesteryl derivatives

Five new diacid amides of di-cholesteryl L-glycinates were designed and prepared.The compounds with linkers containing 0,1, 2,3,or 4 methylene units are denoted as 1,2,3,4,and 5,respectively.Their gelation behaviors in 25 solvents were tested as novel low-molecular-mass organic gelators(LMOGs).It was shown that the length of the linker connecting the two-cholesteryl residues in a gelator plays a crucial role in the gelation behavior of the compound.1 gels 11 of the 25 solvents tested at a concentration lowe...     

葡萄果皮中黄酮醇糖苷的提取及HPLC-MS检测方法的优化

葡萄果皮中黄酮醇以糖苷形式存在,采用正交实验设计,建立了葡萄果皮中黄酮醇糖苷的适宜提取方法,并优化了色谱分析条件。以体积分数50%乙醇和1%乙酸混合液为提取溶剂,室温下超声处理35 min,提取4次,可获得最大提取率;在流动相A为V(乙腈):V(甲酸):V(水)=5∶8.5∶86.5,B为V(乙腈):V(甲醇):V(甲酸):V(水)=25∶45∶8.5∶21.5下梯度洗脱,50 min内可将12种黄酮醇糖苷有效分离。糖甘含量在0.94~423 mg/L范围内线性关系良好,相关系数达到0.999,检出限为35μg/L,定量限为106μg/L;加标回收率在80%~120%之间,相对标准偏差均小于6%。研究表明,以槲皮素-3-O-葡萄糖苷为外标,以质谱信息为基础,应用所建立的方法可以满足不同发育期葡萄果皮中黄酮醇糖苷定性和相对定量分析的要求。     

Two New Diterpene Alkaloids from the Roots of Spiraea japonica var. Acuta

Spiraea japonica L. (Rosaceae) is widely distributed in Yunnan Provence, P. R. China. Previous chemical investigations on S. japonica and its varieties have led to the report of 7 new atisane-type diterpenoids and 38 new diterpene alkaloids of atisine- and hetisine-type1-11. This paper describes the isolation and structure elucidation of two new diterpene alkaloids named spiratines A and B (1-2). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR experiments (HMQC, HMBC, 1…
