Rapid qualitative profiling and quantitative analysis of Juglandis Mandshuricae Cortex and seven flavonoids by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography–quadrupole/orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry

Juglandis Mandshuricae Cortex is the bark of Juglans mandshurica Maxim., which has been used as a folk medicine plant in China and India. In this study, an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography–quadrupole/orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry method was developed to clarify and quantify the chemical profiling of Juglandis Mandshuricae Cortex rapidly. A total of 113 compounds were characterized. Among them, seven flavonoids were simultaneously quantified in 15 min, including myricetin, myricetrin, taxifolin, kaempferol, quercetin, quercitrin, and naringenin. The method was validated for accuracy, precision, and the limits of detection and quantification. All calibration curves showed a good linear relationship (r > 0.9990) within test ranges. The intra- and inter-day relative standard deviations were less than 2.16%. Accuracy validation showed that the recovery was between 95.6 and 101.3% with relative standard deviation values below 2.85%. The validated method was successfully applied to determine the contents of seven flavones in Juglandis Mandshuricae Cortex from seven sources and the contents of these places were calculated respectively. This method provides a theoretical basis for further developing the medicinal value of Juglandis Mandshuricae Cortex.

Lone-Pair Enhanced Birefringence in an Alkaline-Earth Metal Tin(II) Phosphate BaSn2(PO4)2

The first alkaline-earth metal tin(II) phosphate, BaSn₂(PO₄)₂, has been discovered, which consists of layered structures constructed from strictly alternating [SnO₃]⁴⁻ and [PO₄]³⁻ moieties. This compound is expected to have a large birefringence with Δn≈0.071 at 1064 nm, owing to the presence of stereochemically active lone pair metal cations.

Synthesis and property of diazocine derivatives substituted with imidazole in various positions

ABSTRACT

TIACA-I, TIACA-II were synthesized by changing the substitution position of the imidazole group in the diazocine core. TIACA-I, TIACA-II in the film state showed absorption in the range of 354 to 392 nm and exhibited blue photoluminescence (PL) emissions at 448 and 462 nm, respectively. The PL wavelength of TIACA-II is red-shifted by 14 nm than that of TIACA-I due to the electron-donating intensity depending on the position of the imidazole group. The use of TIACA-II in a non-doped OLED device resulted in blue emission with current efficiency of 2.84 cd/A and CIE of (0.15, 0.18).     

First-principles computational approach for innovative design of highly functional electrocatalysts in fuel cells

Design of highly active and stable electrocatalyst is a major objective in a fuel cell. The special situation imposed to the electrocatalyst such as one of the most sluggish catalysis of oxygen reduction reaction, inherent structural instability of dispersed nanoparticle, harsh electrochemical conditions of electric potential and nonzero pH aqueous solution requires unique attention in the design. Considering that various attempts have been made for the purpose, high-speed but rigorous formalisms to evaluate the performance of candidates are crucial.This review article briefly introduces recently developed first-principles computational methodologies mainly applied to catalytic activity and electrochemical stability of electrocatalysts in proton exchange membrane fuel cells. Innovative design principles deduced from the outcomes are clearly discussed.
