双亲半柔性两嵌段共聚物在溶液中自组装形态的模拟退火研究

针对一系列疏溶剂嵌段与溶剂间的相互作用,用模拟退火方法研究了双亲半柔性两嵌段共聚物在溶液中的自组装形态.模拟结果显示共聚物在溶液中均形成核-壳聚集体,其中疏溶剂嵌段形成聚集体的核,亲溶剂嵌段形成聚集体的壳.当上述相互作用较小时,核呈球形,而壳如同长在核上的刺.随着上述相互作用的增大,核逐渐增大.在较大的相互作用时,核呈柱形;而随着相互作用的加大,长在核上的刺逐渐伏贴于核表面.在更大的相互作用时,核又呈球状,壳伏贴于核表面.

Anion dependent structures of luminescent silver(i) complexes

The reaction of AgX, where X = trifluoroacetate (CF(3)CO(2)(-), tfa), nitrate (NO(3)(-)), trifluoromethanesulfonate (triflate, CF(3)SO(3)(-), OTf), hexafluorophosphate (PF(6)(-)), or perchlorate (ClO(4)(-)), with 2,2',3' '-tripyridylamine (tpa) yields five novel silver(I) complexes, which have been structurally characterized. The five complexes have the same 1:1 stoichiometry of Ag/tpa but exhibit different modes of coordination, depending upon the counterion present in the compound. Compound 1, [Ag(tpa)(tfa)](n)(), forms a 1D coordination polymer of [Ag(tpa)(tfa)](2) dimer units linked through bridging tfa counterions. Compound 2, [Ag(tpa)(CH(3)CN)(NO(3))](n), forms a zigzag chain 1D coordination polymer exclusively through Ag-N bonds. In compounds 1 and 2, each tpa ligand is bound to two Ag(I) ions via a 2-py and a 3-py group. Compound 3, [Ag(tpa)(OTf)](n), forms a ribbonlike 1D coordination polymer, in which each tpa ligand binds to three different silver centers via all three pyridyl groups, and the counterion remains coordinated to the Ag(I) center. Compounds 4, [Ag(tpa)(CH(3)CN)](n)(PF(6))(n), and 5, [Ag(tpa)(CH(3)CN)](n)() (ClO(4))(n), display ribbonlike structures resembling that of 3, except that the counterions are not coordinated. All complexes are luminescent in acetonitrile solution, with emission maxima in the near-UV region (lambda(max) = 366, 368, 367, 367, and 368 nm for 1-5, respectively). At 77 K, the emission maxima are red-shifted to lambda(max) = 452, 453, 450, 450, and 454 nm for 1-5, respectively.     

Specific ionic effect for simple and rapid colorimetric sensing assays of amino acids using gold nanoparticles modified with task-specific ionic liquid

In this study, a novel task-specific ionic liquid functionalized gold nanoparticle (TSIL-GNP) was successfully prepared and applied in the recognition of amino acids. Particularly, the surface of GNP was modified with the ionic liquid containing carbamido and ester group via thiol, which was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The stability of this material in aqueous solution improves apparently and can remain unchanged for more than three months. The effect of pH was also discussed in this study. Attractive ionic interaction would effectively weaken intensity of the covalent coupling between the metal ion and the functional groups of amino acids. Thus, TSIL-GNP was successfully applied to recognizing serine, aspartic acid, lysine, arginine, and histidine in the presence of Cu²⁺ through distinctive color changes. Suspension would be generated once a spot of cysteine was added into the GNPs solution. Results indicated that it had a good linear relationship between extinction coefficients and concentration of amino acids in a wide range of 10⁻³–10⁻⁶ M. Moreover, the proposed strategy was successfully used to analyze the histidine in urinary samples. In brief, TSIL-GNP is a suitable substrate for discrimination of five amino acids in a rapid and simple way without sophisticated instruments.     

Separation and purification of antioxidants from Ampelopsis heterophylla by counter‐current chromatography

In this study, bioactive components from Ampelopsis heterophylla were separated by counter‐current chromatography (CCC). The antioxidant activity of the crude extract was initially evaluated by an online HPLC method. Five compounds in the crude extract exhibited good antioxidant activities, namely, hyperoside ( 1 ), isoquercitrin ( 2 ), rutin ( 3 ), kaempferol‐3‐rutinoside ( 4 ), and quercetin ( 5 ). These compounds were further separated by CCC with biphasic solvent systems and their structures were identified by MS and NMR spectroscopy. All the compounds exhibited significant 1,1‐diphenyl‐2‐picryl‐hydrazyl radical scavenging activities with IC₅₀ values at 18.2 ± 1.3, 17.0 ± 1.4, 24.2 ± 1.2, 38.1 ± 1.7, and 9.0 ± 1.2 μM, respectively. The scavenging ratios of the compounds against hydroxyl radicals were 65 ± 5, 68 ± 4, 96 ± 2, 70 ± 4, and 98 ± 2%, respectively.

A DFT theoretical study of CH_4 dissociation on gold-alloyed Ni(111)surface

A density-functional theory(DFT)method has been conducted to systematically investigate the adsorption of CHx(x=0～4)as well as the dissociation of CHx(x=1～4)on(111)facets of gold-alloyed Ni surface.The results have been compared with those obtained on pure Ni(111)surface.It shows that the adsorption energies of CHx(x=1～3)are lower,and the reaction barriers of CH4 dissociation are higher in the first and the fourth steps on gold-alloyed Ni(111)compared with those on pure Ni(111).In particular,the rate-determining step for CH4 dissociation is considered as the first step of dehydrogenation on gold-alloyed Ni(111),while it is the fourth step of dehydrogenation on pure Ni(111).Furthermore,the activation barrier in rate-determining step is higher by 0.41 eV on gold-alloyed Ni(111)than that on pure Ni(111).From above results,it can be concluded that carbon is not easy to form on gold-alloyed Ni(111)compared with that on pure Ni(111).

Synthesis and characterization of mesoporous ceria with hierarchical nanoarchitecture controlled by amino acids

In this work, we report the synthesis and characterization of mesoporous ceria with hierarchical nanoarchitectures controlled by amino acids. During the synthesis procedure, cerium oxalate precipitate was treated hydrothermally with different amino acids as crystallization modifiers, and hierarchically structured cerium oxalate precursors were obtained. Ceria can be produced after thermal decomposition of the cerium oxalate precursors. Structure and properties of the product were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy, N2 adsorption analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) methods. The results indicate that the mesoporous ceria with hierarchical nanoarchitectures are composed of nanosized ceria crystallites as building units and possess high surface area and high concentration of oxygen vacancy. Depending on different amino acids as the crystallization modifiers, the ceria exhibit different morphologies, such as dendritic aggregation of rods, dumbbells of nanorod arrays, or aggregated spheres. It is proposed that both the type of functional side groups and the length of the side groups of the amino acids influence the morphologies of the ceria. Meanwhile, the solvent and hydrothermal treatment temperatures also play important roles in the morphological control. The method reported in this work would be regarded as a general way to fabricate mesoporous metal oxides with hierarchical nanoarchitectures.
