Photoelectrochemical oxygen atom transfer enabling efficient selective oxygenation

Photoelectrochemical(PEC)technique represents a promising approach to chemical transformation by harvesting sustainable solar energy.Despite the wide applications of PEC systems such as environmental remediation and solar energy conversion,the reported PEC reactions are dominated by the radical-based processes that are initiated by the single electron transfer between photo-induced carriers and adsorbed species on photoelectrode surface[1,2].For instance,hydroxyl radicals are often involved in the PEC oxidation reactions.As well known,it is a grand challenge to control the formation and evolution rates of radicals,which inevitably leads to the unsatisfactory product selectivity of PEC reactions.Naturally,such a circumstance brings about a question to the research community whether a different mechanism can be established to sustain efficient and selective oxygenation.Recently,based on their previous findings on PEC water oxidation[3,4],Zhao and coworkers[5]reported that many substrates can be oxidized in an oxygen atom transfer(OAT)pathway,a non-radical two electron process,to oxygenated products byα-Fe2O3 photoanodes.     

Strategies for synthesizing non-bioaccumulable alternatives to PFOA and PFOS

This minireview describes the strategies for synthesis of fiuorinated surfactants potentially nonbioaccumulable.Various strategies have been focused on(Ⅰ) reducing the length of the perfluorocarbon chain,(Ⅱ) introducing hetero atoms into the fluorocarbon chain,(Ⅲ) introducing branch(herein and after branch means the fluoro-carbon chain section is not straight).In most cases,the surface tensions versus the surfactant concentrations have been assessed.These above strategies led to various highly fiuorinated(perfluorinated or not perfluorinated) surfactants whose chemical changes enabled to obtain novel alternatives to perfluorooctanoic acid(PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulphonate(PFOS).

Salting‐out‐assisted liquid–liquid extraction with acetonitrile for the determination of trimetazidine in rat plasma using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry

A high‐throughout bioanalytical method based on salting‐out‐assisted liquid/liquid extraction (SALLE) method with acetonitrile and mass spectrometry‐compatible salts followed by LC‐MS/MS analysis of trimetazidine in rat plasma is presented. It required only 50 μL of plasma and allows the use of minimal volumes of organic solvents. The seamless interface of SALLE and LC‐MS eliminated the drying‐down step and the extract was diluted and injected into an LC‐MS/MS system with a cycle time of 2.5 min/sample. The retention times of trimetazidine and IS were approximately 1.1 and 1.7 min, respectively. Calibration curves were linear over the concentration range of 0.1–100 ng/mL, which can be extended to 500 ng/mL by dilution. The intra‐ and inter‐batch precision, accuracy and the relative standard deviation were all <15%. This method was successfully applied to determine trimetazidine concentrations in rat plasma.
