Synthesis and characterization of the reduced double-layer manganite Sr3Mn2O6+x

The oxygen-deficient Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) phase Sr₃Mn₂O₆ crystallizes with an ordered array of oxygen vacancies to afford a structure in which the Mn³⁺ ions exist in a square-pyramidal environment. The MnO₅ polyhedra are linked through their corners to form a structure that is related to that observed for the single-layered material, Sr₂MnO_3.5. The nuclear and magnetic structures of a polycrystalline sample of Sr₃Mn₂O₆ have been determined using Rietveld analysis of neutron powder diffraction data and electron diffraction techniques. The pure Mn³⁺ double-layered phase crystallizes in a superstructure of the simple RP subcell: tetragonal, P4/mbm, a=10.8686(2) Å and c=20.2051(3) Å.Magnetic susceptibility studies suggest a transition at ∼250 K to a canted antiferromagnetic ordered structure. The magnetic unit-cell consists of ferromagnetic clusters of corner-sharing MnO₅ units, which are antiferromagnetically aligned to other clusters within the layers.     

SrMn3O6: an incommensurate modulated tunnel structure

The crystallographic structure of a mixed valent manganite SrMn₃O₆ with a 1D modulated structure is reported. The SrMn₃O₆ structure can be described with the basic subcell space group Pnma (a=9.1334(5) Å; b=2.8219(2) Å; c=12.0959(7)Å), but transmission electron microscopy revealed that the study of the real structure requires a 4D-formalism approach with superspace group P2₁/a(αβ0)00 (unique axis c), with a modulation wave vector q having the approximate components (0.52a*+0.31b*). The crystallographic structure is closely related to those of Na_xFe_xTi_2−xO₄ and Pb_1.5BaMn₆Al₂O₁₆, comprising of unusual “figure-of-eight”-shaped tunnels, made up of strings of edge- and corner-sharing (Fe/Ti)O₆ or (Mn/Al)O₆ octahedra, with the other cations situated in the tunnel cavities. Structural refinement was performed on X-ray and neutron powder diffraction data using the 4D formalism. All atoms in the crystal are affected by a displacive modulation wave, and a saw tooth function is employed to model the displacement and occupancy of the Sr sites. Magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal a sharp antiferromagnetic transition with T_N∼46 K.     

New99mTc-diiodine substituted IDA derivative (DIIODIDA) for hepatobiliary imaging

A new diiodine substituted IDA derivative, 2,4-diiodine-6-methyl IDA (DIIODIDA) was synthesized and labeled with^99mTc. It was established that^99mTc-DIIODIDA had high radiochemical purity. Biodistribution and influence of bilirubin on^99mTc-DIIODIDA biokinetics has been studied in rats and compared to the corresponding results for^99mTc-SOLCOIODIDA. Related to^99mTc-SOLCOIODIDA,^99mTc-DIIODIDA has much better biliary exretion (55.18 versus 43.63%). No change of^99mTc-DIIODIDA biokinetics, under influence of bilirubin was noticed. Biliary excretion of^99mTc-SOLCOIODIDA has been reduced for about 60%. The protein binding of^99mTc-DIIODIDA and^99mTc-SOLCOIODIDA were also determined, using in vitro method of precipitation. These results showed that^99mTc-DIIODIDA hepatobiliary imaging agent is superior to the presently used^99mTc-monoiodine IDA derivatives.

Non‐Newtonian Polymer–Nanoparticle Hydrogels Enhance Cell Viability during Injection

Drug delivery and cell transplantation require minimally invasive deployment strategies such as injection through clinically relevant high‐gauge needles. Supramolecular hydrogels comprising dodecyl‐modified hydroxypropylmethylcellulose and poly(ethylene glycol)‐block‐poly(lactic acid) have been previously demonstrated for the delivery of drugs and proteins. Here, it is demonstrated that the rheological properties of these hydrogels allow for facile injectability, an increase of cell viability after injection when compared to cell viabilities of cells injected in phosphate‐buffered saline, and homogeneous cell suspensions that do not settle. These hydrogels are injected at 1 mL min^?1 with pressures less than 400 kPa, despite the solid‐like properties of the gel when at rest. The cell viabilities immediately after injection are greater than 86% for adult human dermal fibroblasts, human umbilical vein cells, smooth muscle cells, and human mesenchymal stem cells. Cells are shown to remain suspended and proliferate in the hydrogel at the same rate as observed in cell media. The work expands on the versatility of these hydrogels and lays a foundation for the codelivery of drugs, proteins, and cells.

不同岩蔷薇浸膏挥发性致香成分的SED-GC-MS分析研究

岩蔷薇(cistusladaniferusL.)又名赖百当(labdanum),属半日花科。利用其树脂分泌物及枝叶,通过蒸馏、浸提和萃取等方法,可制得岩蔷薇精油、浸膏、净油、油树脂等各种香原料品种。岩蔷薇的香原料制品是膏香类的极重要品种,主要应用于日化和食品行业,在烟草行业也多有应用。因香料烟香味的主要来源是类赖百当化合物的降解,故被归为烟草的五大类香味物质之一:赖百当类、双萜烯及其降解产物类。这类物质在香料烟中的含量较高,对形成香料烟的特殊香味风格具有重要意义,且在烟草中赖百当仅存在于香料烟中,烤烟、自肋烟中均不存在。赖百当类化合物是香料烟中特有的香气物质,主要成分是冷杉醇、赖百当烯二醇,经调制和醇化转化为多种降赖百当类化合物,其中降龙涎香醚、龙涎香内酯、脱氢龙涎香内酯等都具有强烈的龙涎香香气,对增进卷烟香气和吃味有很好作用。     

Crystallographic and magnetic structures of Y0.8Sr2.2Mn2GaO8−δ: a new vacancy-ordered perovskite structure

The anion-deficient perovskite Y_0.8Sr_2.2Mn₂GaO_8−δ (where δ∼0.1) has been synthesised and the crystal and magnetic structures determined by Rietveld analysis of neutron powder diffraction (NPD) data. The material has body-centred tetragonal symmetry (I4/mmm, a=7.6373(3) Å and c=15.6636(10) Å) and consists of alternating layers of octahedral and tetrahedral polyhedra, the layers being perpendicular to [001]. The octahedral layers are preferentially occupied by manganese and the tetrahedral layers are a mixture of manganese and gallium. The precise cation distribution depends critically on preparative conditions. An unusual structural feature of these materials is the arrangement of oxygen vacancies in the tetrahedral layers: in the basic structure, isolated squares of corner-linked tetrahedra are formed instead of the chains that are observed in brownmillerite phases. Additional oxide ions in this layer probably allow the Mn ions to achieve distorted square pyramidal coordination. Low temperature NPD and magnetisation data indicate antiferromagnetic ordering below 100 K.
