本文在两次标准加入法[1]的基础上，提出了三组份同时测定的三次标准加入法，并应用于钼、钨和钛的流动注射同时测定。测定条件：［水杨基荧光酮（SAF）］＝1．25　×10-4mol／L，［溴化＋六烷基三甲基铵（CTMAB）」＝2．5×10－3mol／L，pH1．35，25℃，采样、进样时间分别为10s和18s，进样频率128次／h。为消除组份间协同作用引起的吸光度加合性的偏离，定义了三组份协同系数。将其引入三组份同时测定方法，补偿了吸光度对线性的偏离。补偿后钼、钨和钛的测定范围分别为0．05～0．35，0．25～1．00，0．025～0．30mg／L。测定了钢样及模拟样品中钼、钨和钛含量，结果较好。     

Packing capilllary electrochromatography columns using vacuum--a preliminary study

This paper introducesa novel method for packing Capillary Electrochromatography Columns (CEC). Using vacuum packing methodology, silica particles as small as 1 microm were successfully packed into the capillary columns with 75 microm inner diameter. The columns are verystable and show no noticeable loss in efficiency after 200 sample injections. The performance of these vacuum packed capillary columns was evaluated with a mixture of aromatic and non-aromatic compounds. A 24 cm long capillary column can produce peak efficiencies of around 45,000 plates for benzene.     

Assembly of peptide–thiophene conjugates: the influence of peptide content and location

Biomolecule-directed self-assembly of π-conjugated oligomers has attracted great attention in the past decade. In this contribution, two conjugates composed of quaterthiophene and tetrapeptide (Gly-Val-Gly-Val) were synthesised, namely peptide–thiophene–peptide (PTP) and thiophene–peptide–thiophene (TPT), to investigate the influence of peptide content ratio and its location in the molecular structures on the nanostructures and properties of the assemblies. Both conjugates formed organogels consisting of left-handed twisted nanostructures; however, anti-parallel β-sheets were observed in PTP while parallel β-sheets were obtained for TPT, although in both cases oligothiophenes adopted an H-like stacking mode. Obvious solvent-induced supramolecular chirality inversion from the oligothiophene segment was observed for PTP while such phenomenon was not clear for TPT. PTP and TPT gels also showed different stabilities towards temperature increase, as evidenced by variable-temperature circular dichroism study. From the data, it is suggested that the rational design of the location and ratio of peptide plays a key role in constructing materials with determined properties based on peptide–thiophene conjugates.

A verification of the reaction mechanism of direct carbon solid oxide fuel cells

Anode-supported tubular solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) with Cu–CeO₂–yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) anode, YSZ electrolyte film, and silver cathode were fabricated. The cells were tested with 5 wt% Fe-loaded activated carbon and dry CO, respectively, and their performances were compared to verify the reaction mechanism of direct carbon SOFCs (DC-SOFCs). The corresponding current–voltage curves and impedance characteristics of the cells operating on these two different fuels were found to be almost the same at high temperatures, demonstrating the presumed mechanism that the anode reaction of a DC-SOFC is the electrochemical oxidation of CO, just as in a SOFC operated directly on CO. Some experimental evidences including the difference in open circuit voltage at different temperatures and the operating stability of the cells were analyzed in detail.     

An investigation of submicrostructural evolution of freshly precipitated ZrO2 in digestion for ultrafine sulfated ZrO2 catalysts by SAXS technique

Coupled with XRD, BET, and TEM, the small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) technique has been effectively used to probe and characterize the submicrostructure of freshly precipitated hydrous zirconia and its evolution during digestion. It has been found that fresh hydrous zirconia particles possess an average diameter of about 5 nm and rather rough surfaces describable in terms of fractal concepts. The digestion of zirconia precipitates at 100 degrees C with their mother liquors may remarkably smooth the particles' rough surface and provoke fractal aggregation of the particles but make little change in average particle dimensions. A local dissolution-reprecipitation mechanism is regarded as a basic process to accompany particle surface smoothing, particle aggregation, and coarsening at the neck areas between joint particles, which may greatly strengthen the particle networks and enhance their resistance to crumbling while calcinated at high temperatures. On the basis of the submicrostructural features unraveled by SAXS, a coherent and significant physical picture has been raised out to demonstrate and interpret the relationship underlying the submicrostructure, the surface area variation, and the heating behavior of hydrous zirconia precipitates.     

Extendable Cycles in Multipartite Tournaments

An n-partite tournament is an orientation of a complete n-partite graph. If D is a strongly connected n-partite (n3) tournament, then we shall prove that every partite set of D has at least one vertex which lies on a cycle C_m of each length m for such that V(C₃)V(C₄)V(C_n), where V(C_m) is the vertex set of C_m for . This result extends those of Bondy [2], Guo and Volkmann [4], Gutin [6], Moon [8], and Yeo [12].Final version received: June 9, 2003     

Preparation and characterization of polyion-complexed Langmuir-Blodgett films containing an NLO chromophore

Polyion complexes formed by monolayers of quaternary ammonium amphiphiles containing the 4-nitro-4'-alkoxy azobenzene chromophore spread at the surface of aqueous solutions of a number of anionic polyelectrolytes were investigated. In general, pi-A isotherms were found to depend on the nature of the polyion present in the subphase, with monolayers of complexes involving polycarboxylates tending to exhibit larger limiting areas than those formed with polysulfonates or polysulfates. Monolayers of the polyion complexes can be transferred to hydrophilic solid substrates to yield Z-type LB films, although some peeling off for more than 10 layers is an impediment. X-ray reflectivity measurements indicate that relatively smooth and uniform films are obtained up to about 10 layers. Average layer thicknesses are, however, significantly smaller than extended molecular lengths, implying that the amphiphiles are strongly inclined from the surface normal. Polarized FT-IR measurements also indicate poor molecular orientation perpendicular to the surface. Preliminary SHG measurements for LB films of two systems, 12Q/CMC-Na and 12Q/PAA, confirm the presence of noncentrosymmetric out-of-plane chromophore ordering. Stable signals are observed for elevated temperatures up to 130 degrees C and for a period of 4 months at room temperature. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first report of stable SHG in LB films of polyion complexes.     

Formation,structure, and structural properties of a new filamentary tubular form: hollow conical-helix of graphitic boron nitride

A novel tubular form of graphitic boron nitride (BN) displaying a hollow conical-helix was discovered. It was generated via wrapping a single beltlike filament according to the geometry of an Archimedes spiral. Cone apex angles of helical-conical nanotubes (HCNTs) were found to exhibit specific values, each of which refers to a certain coincidence site lattice. A unique structural property of HCNTs was observed, displaying the transformation of apex angles during the annealing process. The observed apex angles were reduced with decreasing annealing temperature, which is in accordance with an estimated HCNT strain energy decrease for a given tubular radius. It is suggested that the curvature and apex angle of a HCNT are determined by a sole dynamic element, that is, enthalpy (DeltaH), whereas the HCNT disclination configuration changes through helical sliding of the filament.
