Reactivity with Amines of Bis(cyanamide) and Bis(cyanoguanidine) Complexes of the Iron Triad

Treatment of bis(cyanamide) [M(N≡CNEt₂)₂L₄](BPh₄)₂ and bis(cyanoguanidine) [M{N≡CN(H)C(NH₂)=NH}₂L₄](BPh₄)₂ complexes [M = Fe, Ru, Os; L = P(OEt)₃] with an excess of amine RNH₂ (R = nPr, iPr) affords mixed‐ligand complexes with cyanamide and amine [M(NH₂R)(N≡CNEt₂)L₄](BPh₄)₂ ( 1a – 5a ) and [M(NH₂R){N≡CN(H)C(NH₂)=NH}L₄](BPh₄)₂ ( 1b , 2b ). The complexes were characterized by spectroscopy and X‐ray crystal structure determination of [M(NH₂iPr)(N≡CNEt₂){P(OEt)₃}₄](BPh₄)₂ [M = Ru ( 3a ), Os ( 5a )].     

Epoxidation reaction of perfluoroalkenes with tert-amine N-oxide

Straight-chain aliphatic terr-amine N-oxides were found to be useful oxidizing agent for epoxidation of tri- and tetra-substituted perfluoroalkenes under mild conditions in high yields.The process for epoxidation by employing tri-n-butylamine N-oxide gave the best result in the reagent survey.     

Theoretical Studies on Mechanism and Rate Constant of Gas Phase Hydrolysis of Glyoxal Catalyzed by Sulfuric Acid

The gas phase hydration of glyoxal (HCOCHO) in the presence of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) were studied by the high-level quantum chemical calculations with M06-2X and CCSD(T) theoretical methods and the conventional transition state theory (CTST). The mechanism and rate constant of the ve di erent reaction paths are consid-ered corresponding to HCOCHO+H₂O, HCOCHO+H₂O H₂O, HCOCHO H₂O+H₂O, HCOCHO+H₂O H₂SO₄ and HCOCHO H₂O+H₂SO₄. Results show that H₂SO₄ has a strong catalytic ability, which can signi cantly reduce the energy barrier for the hydration reaction of glyoxal. The energy barrier of hydrolysis of glyoxal in gas phase is lowered to 7.08 kcal/mol from 37.15 kcal/mol relative to pre-reactive complexes at the CCSD(T)/6-311++G(3df, 3pd)//M06-2X/6-311++G(3df, 3pd) level of theory. The rate constant of the H₂SO₄ catalyzed hydrolysis of glyoxal is 1.34×10^-11cm³/(molecule s), about 10¹³ higher than that involving catalysis by an equal number of water molecules, and is greater than the reaction rate of glyoxal reaction with OH radicals of 1.10×10^-11cm³/(molecule s) at the room temperature, indicating that the gas phase hydrolysis of glyoxal of H₂SO₄ catalyst is feasible and could compete with the reaction glyoxal+OH under certain atmospheric condi-tions. This study may provide useful information on understanding the mechanistic features of inorganic acid-catalyzed hydration of glyoxal for the formation of oligomer     

Energy dependence of multiplicity in proton-nucleus collisions and models of multiparticle production

This is a continuation of our earlier investigation (Gurtuet al 1974Phys. Lett. 50 B 391) on multiparticle production in proton-nucleus collisions based on an exposure of emulsion stack to 200 GeV/c beam at the NAL. It is found that the ratioR _em = 〈n _s〉/〈n _ch〉, where 〈n _ch〉 is the charged particle multiplicity in pp-collisions, increases slowly from about 1 at 10 GeV/c to 1·6 at 68 GeV/c and attains a constant value of 1·71 ± 0·04 in the region 200 to 8000 GeV/c. Furthermore,R _em = 1·71 implies an effectiveA-dependence ofR _A =A ^0.18,i.e., a very weak dependence. Predictions ofR _em on various models are discussed and compared with the emulsion data. Data seem to favour models of hadron-nucleon collisions in which production of particles takes place through adouble step mechanism,e.g., diffractive excitation, hydrodynamical and energy flux cascade as opposed to models which envisage instantaneous production.     

Standard-based method for proton-electron double resonance imaging of oxygen

Proton-electron double resonance imaging (PEDRI) has been utilized for indirect determination of oxygen concentrations in aqueous samples and living systems. Due to the complexity of the problem, there are seven oxygen related parameters that need to be measured to determine the distribution of oxygen. We present an improved approach in which image intensities from only two PEDRI acquisitions with different EPR irradiation powers are required to determine the distribution of a paramagnetic probe and oxygen in an analyzed sample. This is achieved using three reference samples with known concentrations of a paramagnetic probe and oxygen placed inside the resonator together with the measurement sample. An EPR-off image, which has low signal intensity at low magnetic field (0.02 T) is not required for the calculations, significantly reducing the total time of the experiments and the noise while enhancing the accuracy of these oxygen measurements. The Finland trityl radical was used as the paramagnetic probe and oxygen concentrations could be accurately measured and imaged over the physiological range from 0 to 240 μM.

A novel indirect inhibitive immunoassay for sulfamethoxazole

<正>A new indirect inhibitive immunoassay using surface plasmon resonance(SPR) coupled with molecularly imprinted polymer(MIP) was developed.A sulfamethoxazole(SMX) MIP coating capillary was produced and used as an in-tube solid phase extraction(SPE) device.The MIP coating formed a nanometer film on the inner wall of the capillary.The anti-SMX mono-antibody was inhibited by SMX extracted by the MIP coating in a dose-dependent manner.The calibration curve was generated by linear fit over the range of 0.04-10.00 ng/mL.The limit of detection was 0.01 ng/mL.This method has high sensitivity and can be performed automatically.
