Detection of complement C4 with a piezoelectric immunosensor

A piezoelectric immunosensor has been developed for the detection of complement C4. Anti-C4 antibody was immobilized onto the gold electrodes of a 9 MHz AT-cut piezoelectric crystal. The coated crystal with the physical adsorption method to immobilize antibody showed the better results than the polyethyleneimine adhesion, glutaraldehyde cross-linking method with respect to sensitivity and reproducibility. The antibody-bound crystal with the physical adsorption method was successfully used for the detection of human complement C4 in the concentration range of 0.1-10 μg/mL for 40 min incubation time. The immunosensor system had good selectivity, and other materials in human serum did not interfere the detection remarkably. The crystal could be regenerated nearly 15 times when the bound materials on the crystal surface were eluted by strong acid and strong alkali solutions and subsequently cleaned in a ultrasonic cleaner.

Rearrangement of a P4 Butterfly Complex—The Formation of a Homoleptic Phosphorus–Iron Sandwich Complex

The versatile coordination behavior of the P₄ butterfly complex [{Cp′′′Fe(CO)₂}₂(μ,η^1:1-P₄)] ( 1 , Cp′′′=η⁵-C₅H₂^tBu₃) towards different iron(II) compounds is presented. The reaction of 1 with [FeBr₂⋅dme] (dme=dimethoxyethane) leads to the chelate complex [{Cp′′′Fe(CO)₂}₂(μ₃,η^1:1:2-P₄){FeBr₂}] ( 2 ), whereas, in the reaction with [Fe(CH₃CN)₆][PF₆]₂, an unprecedented rearrangement of the P₄ butterfly structural motif leads to the cyclo-P₄ moiety in {(Cp′′′Fe(CO)₂)₂(μ₃,η^1:1:4-P₄)}₂Fe][PF₆]₂ ( 3 ). Complex 3 represents the first fully characterized “carbon-free” sandwich complex containing cyclo-P₄R₂ ligands in a homoleptic-like iron–phosphorus-containing molecule. Alternatively, 2 can be transformed into 3 by halogen abstraction and subsequent coordination of 1 . The additional isolated side products, [{Cp′′′Fe(CO)₂}₂(μ₃,η^1:1:2-P₄){Cp′′′Fe(CO)}][PF₆] ( 4 ) and [{Cp′′′Fe(CO)₂}₂(μ₃,η^1:1:4-P₄){Cp′′′Fe}][PF₆] ( 5 ), give insight into the stepwise activation of the P₄ butterfly moiety in 1 .     

Hydrolysis of a charged ester catalysed by copolymers of 4′-vinylbenzo-18-crown-6 and 4-vinylpyridine

An anionically charged ester, such as 3-nitro-4-acetoxybenzene sulphonate (NABS), was shown to be attracted into the positively charged domains of copolymers of 4-vinylpyridine and 4′-vinylbenzo-18-crown-6 in aqueous ethanol solutions of the polymers containing potassium chloride (since the crown units bind potassium ions and become positively charged). Thus, at fixed solvent composition, addition of 0.04 M KCl caused a 3.5-fold increase in the pseudo-first order rate constant of the hydrolysis. The rate constant increased with the water content of the ethanol-water solvent system due to the polar nature of the transition state. It was deduced that, while the ester NABS is definitely attracted to the charged polymer, the polymer domain seems not to be a favourable reaction environment. Possible reasons are discussed, and the results are compared with those reported for similar work.     

Electron Momentum Distributions for 4a1 Orbitals of CFxCl4-x in Low Momentum Region： a Possible Evidence of Molecular Geometry Distortion

Electron momentum distributions for 4a1 orbitals of serial freon molecules CFaC1, CF2Cl2, and CFCl3 （CFxC14-x, x=1-3） have been reanalyzed due to the severe discrepancies between theory and experiment in low momentum region. The tentative calculations using equilibrium geometries of molecular ions have exhibited a great improvement in agreement with the experimental data, which suggests that the molecular geometry distortion may be responsible for the observed high intensities at p〈0.5 a.u.. Further analyses show that the severe discrepancies at low momentum region mainly arise from the influence of molecular geometry distortion on C-Cl bonding electron density distributions.     

Ring opening metathesis polymerization of an η4-benzene complex: a direct synthesis of a polyacetylene with a regular pattern of π bound metal fragments

The complex (η(5)-C(5)H(5))Ir(η(4)-C(6)H(6)) reacts with Grubbs' catalyst to give a novel polyacetylene consisting of cyclopentadienyliridium bound s-cis butadiene moieties separated by C=C linkages. A crystal structure of the pentamethylcyclopentadienyl analog establishes a strong structural analogy with norbornadiene, a classical ROMP monomer.     

Synthesis of pyrroles through a 4π-electrocyclic ring-closure reaction of 1-azapentadienyl cations

1-Azapenta-1,4-diene-3-ols 4a-m are easily accessible from 1-azapenta-1,4-dien-3-ones 3a-i and organolithium compounds. Treatment of the compounds 4a-m with strong acid (triflic acid) generates 1-azapentadienyl cations in situ upon protonation at the hydroxyl oxygen atom and subsequent water elimination. The intermediate cations undergo facile 4π-electrocyclization under ambient condition to give diversely substituted pyrroles 6a-m in moderate to good yield. The product pyrrole 6k could be characterized by X-ray diffraction. Quantum chemical calculations were performed to elucidate the mechanism of this reaction with respect to starting compounds, transition states, and products. They support the proposed mechanism of a 4π-conrotatory M?bius-type electrocyclic ring-closure reaction.     

Direct introduction of a benzoyloxy substituent at the C-4 position of β-lactams

The copper-promoted reaction of β-lactams with t-butyl perbenzoate results in benzoyloxylation of the azetidin-2-one ring at the C-4 position. There is no competing reaction at the C-3 position, but reaction at exocyclic carbon α to nitrogen competes with ring substitution.

Facile synthesis of LiMnPO4 olivines with a plate-like morphology from a dittmarite-type KMnPO4·H2O precursor

Dittmarite-type compound KMnPO(4)·H(2)O was used as a new precursor for the synthesis of nanostructured LiMnPO(4) phospho-olivines with a plate-like morphology at low temperature (about 200 °C) and a short reaction time (90-180 min). The dehydration of KMnPO(4)·H(2)O was studied by DTA and TG analysis. Structural and morphological characterization of both KMnPO(4)·H(2)O and LiMnPO(4) was performed by powder XRD, SEM and TEM analyses. The formation of nanostructured LiMnPO(4) was examined by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and TEM. It was found that the reaction between KMnPO(4)·H(2)O with the LiCl-LiNO(3) mixture includes a fast ionic exchange of K(+) with Li(+) in the framework of the dittmarite structure, followed by H(2)O release and the formation of the olivine-type structure. The morphology and texture of the dittmarite-type precursor results in a plate-like morphology of LiMnPO(4) with a preferred orientation along the [100] direction. The plate-like morphology of LiMnPO(4) is stable after annealing at 500 °C. The plates are composed of nanocrystallites, with various sizes in the range 10-20 nm. The EPR signal of LiMnPO(4) is due to the exchange-coupled Mn(2+) ions. It was demonstrated that the EPR line-width correlates with the Scherrer crystallite size.     

Electronic Energy Structure of a Series of Chalcopyrite-Like Compounds AgGaS2–CdGa2S4–InPS4

The effect of pseudovacancies on the density of electronic states of valence electrons in AgGaS₂, CdGa₂S₄, and InPS₄ is studied both experimentally, by means of X-ray spectroscopy, and theoretically, by calculating the partial densities of electronic states using the local coherent potential. The compounds under study are the derivatives of the sphalerite structural type (doubled cell) with gradually increasing deficiency of metals from to and further to , where is a vacancy. The environment of the metal atoms remains tetrahedral, while that of the sulfur atoms changes with increasing number of vacancies from four (AgGaS₂) to three (CdGa₂S₄) and two (InPS₄). For the compounds under study, SK and PK X-ray emission and absorption spectra were recorded at a resolution of about 0.2 eV, and the local partial densities of states were calculated for all components of the compounds. The theoretical curves practically coincide in shape and energy position of fine structure elements with the corresponding experimental curves. This allowed reliable conclusions about the energy positions of electronic states at the top of the valence band and about the dependence of the SK emission and absorption spectra in the series of compounds under study on variation of the crystal structure and on the chemical composition of the nearest surroundings of sulfur atoms.

Hydroacridines XXI [1]. 13C NMR Spectroscopic Investigation of the Stereoselectivities of Quaternizations of N-Alkyl Derivatives of (4aα,8aβ,9aβ,10aα)- and (4aα,8aα,9aβ,10aα)-Tetradecahydroacridine

Summary.  The stereoselectivities of the quaternization reactions of (4aα,8aβ,9aβ,10aα)- and (4aα,8aα,9aβ,10aα)-tetradecahydro-10-methylacridine with methyl- and ethyl iodide as well as those of (4aα,8aβ,9aβ,10aα)- and (4aα,8aα,9aβ,10aα)-10-ethyl-tetradecahydroacridine with methyl iodide were investigated using ¹³C NMR spectroscopy including ¹³C-labelling where appropriate. The methylations of both N-methyl amines occur by predominant (60% and 75%, respectively) equatorial approach, their ethylations occur sterospecifically by equatorial approach, and the methylations of the N-ethyl amines occur by highly stereoselective (> 90%) axial approach of the quaternizing reagent.
