本文用激光闪光光解技术研究了光诱导生物醌杜醌激发三重态(~3DQ~*)和色氨酸(Trp)与酪氨酸(Tyr)在乙腈-水(MeCNH_2O)及乙二醇-水(EG-H_2O)均相溶液中的光化学反应,分析了反应的机理,并基于Stern-Volmer方法测量了反应速率常数.光解DQ体系可以生成~3DQ~*,3DQ~*与Trp、Tyr发生的氢原子转移反应占主导地位.对于DQ/Trp/MeCN-H_2O和DQ/Trp/EG-H_2O溶液,3DQ~*与Trp反应生成杜醌中性自由基DQH·、以碳为中心的色氨酸中性自由基Trp/NH和以氮为中心的色氨酸中性自由基Trp/N·.对于DQ/Tyr/MeCN-H_2O和DQ/Tyr/EG-H_2O溶液,3DQ~*与Tyr反应生成DQH·和酪氨酸中性自由基Tyr/O·.~3DQ~*与Trp、Tyr的氢原子转移反应速率常数都在10~9 L·mol~(-1)·s~(-1)量级,反应近似受扩散控制.MeCN/H_2O均相溶液中~3DQ~*与Trp、Tyr的反应速率常数要明显高于EG/H_2O均相溶液中的反应速率常数,这与Stokes-Einstein方程定性一致.     

维生素C对菲醌三重激发态的淬灭机理及动力学研究

用时间分辨电子自旋共振技术研究了乙二醇(EG)均相溶液和反胶束溶液中抗氧化剂维生素C(VC)对菲醌(PAQ)分子激发三重态³PAQ*的淬灭反应．利用反胶束模拟生物细胞和组织的生理环境．光解PAQ/EG-H₂O均相溶液,³PAQ*与溶剂分子EG之间发生氢转移反应．当体系中加入VC后,³PAQ*不仅从EG上夺氢,还从VC上夺氢,VC对³PAQ*的淬灭速率常数为1.409×10⁸ L/(mol·s), 反应受扩散控制． 在CTAB/EG-H₂O和AOT/EG-H₂O反胶束溶液中,³PAQ*和VC之间的夺氢反应发生在反胶束的水/油界面附近,³PAQ*扩散到油/水界面的过程降低了反应的速率．对于TX-100/EG-H₂O反胶束溶液, 由于PAQ增溶于亲水的聚氧乙烯链中,VC对³PAQ*的淬灭速率常数比CTAB/EG-H₂O和AOT/EG-H₂O反胶束中的都大,甚至比EG-H₂O均相溶液中的也略大．很强的VC负离子自由基As^-的CIDEP信号来源于³PAQ*与VC之间发生抽氢反应过程中的三重态机理自旋极化转移     

噻吨酮光物理和光化学行为对溶剂的依赖性

本文利用纳秒瞬态吸收光谱技术,在不同溶剂中,研究了噻吨酮的光物理和光化学行为. TX的激发三重态(³TX^*)涉及2种电子态,³nπ^*和³ππ^*态. 随着溶剂极性的增强,³ππ^*态的贡献加大. 在CH₃CN,CH₃CN/CH₃OH(1:1)和CH₃CN/H₂O(1:1)溶剂中,³TX^*的自猝灭速率常数k_sq逐渐减小. 这可能由于通过氢键形成的激基复合物阻碍了³TX^*的碰撞猝灭. 二苯胺通过电子转移还原³TX^*,生成TX^·-阴离子和DPA^·+阳离子自由基. 溶剂对该转移过程的影响不明显,表明TX的³nπ^*和³ππ^*态夺取电子的能力相近. 然而,溶剂的依赖性在TX^·-的猝灭过程中表现明显. 在强酸性条件下(pH=3.0),质子化的TX和非质子化的TX之间存在着动态平衡. 在激发光作用下,生成³TXH^+*,光谱上呈现出520 nm处的吸收峰.

采用M06-2X和CCSD(T)高阶量化计算和传统过渡态理论研究硫酸催化乙二醛气体相水化反应.对HCOCHO+H₂O, HCOCHO+H₂O+H₂O, HCOCHO+H₂O+H₂O, HCOCHO+H₂O...H₂SO₄和HCOCHO+H₂O+H₂SO₄五个路径的反应机理和速率常数进行了研究.计算结果表明硫酸具有较强的催化能力,能显著减小乙二醛水化反应的能垒,在CCSD(T)/6-311++G(3df,3pd)//M06-2X/6-311++G(3df,3pd)理论水平,当硫酸分子参与乙二醛水化反应时,反应能垒从37.15 kcal/mol减少至7.08 kcal/mol.在室温条件下,硫酸催化乙二醛水化反应的反应速率1.34×10^-11 cm³/(molecule.s),是等量水分子参与乙二醛水化反应的速率的10¹²倍,大于乙二醛与OH自由基反应的反应速率1.10×10^-11 cm³/(molecule.s).这表明大气条件下,硫酸催化乙二醛水化反应可以发生,同乙二醛与OH自由基反应相竞争.     

吡啶离子液体与水混合体系中蒽醌-2-磺酸钠的激光闪光光解机理

利用激光闪光光解技术研究了蒽醌-2-磺酸钠(AQS)在吡啶离子液体N-丁基吡啶四氟硼酸盐([BPy][BF₄])与水(H₂O)混合体系中的光化学反应过程. 实验结果表明,AQS的激发三重态(³AQS^*) 会与H₂O快速反应,不断增加[BPy][BF₄]在混合体系中的体积比(V_IL),瞬态吸收光谱发生了很大变化. 510 nm附近的瞬态吸收带变化最大,在0< V_IL< 0.1时,吸光度会随着[BPy][BF₄]的增加而增加;而在V_IL>0.1时,吸光度则随着比例的增加而减小. 然而380 nm附近吸收带的吸光度却一直在增加. 通过拟合近似地得到了瞬态物种B和³AQS^*的表观动力学参数. 另外还讨论了³AQS^* 与阳离子之间的夺氢反应,通过对350~420 nm处光谱图的分析,推断出这一范围的瞬态吸收光谱是³AQS^*与AQSH^·的叠加谱. 在混合体系中,³AQS^*分别与H₂O和[BPy][BF₄]的反应是一对竞争反应. 还发现在高浓度的离子液体环境下,体系的整体反应速率会减弱.     

氧化石墨烯负载的Pt单原子催化硼胺烷水解机理的理论研究

本文研究了氧化石墨烯负载Pt单原子(Pt₁/Gr-O)催化硼胺烷(NH₃BH₃)全水解反应机理,即一分子的NH₃BH₃生成三分子的氢气(H₂)的过程. 在水解路径中,首先吸附的硼胺烷连续断裂两个B-H键生成第一分子的H₂. 接着,一个H₂O分子与^*BHNH₃基团(^*表示吸附态)反应生成^*BH(H₂O)NH₃,其中伸长的O-H键断裂后形成^*BH(OH)NH₃. 然后,第二个H₂O与^*BH(OH)NH₃反应生成^*BH(OH)(H₂O)NH₃,在指向Pt₁/Gr-O表面的O-H断裂后,生成BH(OH)₂NH₃并脱附到水溶液中. 两个水分子脱氢产生的两个H原子脱附生成第二个H₂分子,且Pt₁/Gr-O催化剂恢复. 脱附后的BH(OH)₂NH₃在水溶液中水解生成第三个H₂分子. 纵观整个水解反应,H₂O分子和^*BHNH₃基团的结合是反应速控步,其反应能垒是16.1 kcal/mol. 因此,Pt₁/Gr-O有希望成为室温催化NH₃BH₃全水解催化剂.     

Cl(2P)+D2→DCl+D反应中波恩-奥本海默近似有效性的交叉分子束研究

本文利用高分辨的里德堡态氘原子标识-交叉分子束装置,研究了碰撞能为4.5∽6.5 kcal/mol范围内Cl(²P)[Cl(²P_3/2)和Cl^*(²P_1/2)]与D₂的反应. 虽然自旋轨道激发态反应Cl^*(²P_1/2)+D₂在波恩-奥本海默(B-O)近似下本应是禁阻的,但实验中观测到了该反应的贡献. 通过测量靠近后向的碰撞能相关的微分散射截面连线,发现低碰撞能下的产物主要来自于B-O近似禁阻的反应Cl^*+D₂. 随着碰撞能的提高,自旋轨道基态反应Cl+D₂的反应性增加明显要比自旋轨道激发态反应Cl^*+D₂更快,并且在高碰撞能下成为产物的主要来源. 实验结果表明：在低碰撞能下,Cl^*中自旋轨道激发态的额外能量,可以帮助B-O近似禁阻的反应Cl^*+D₂越过势垒;然而当碰撞能接近和高于反应势垒时,B-O近似允许的反应Cl+D₂占主导地位. Cl/Cl^*+D₂反应中B-O近似有效性的特征与其同位素反应Cl/Cl^*+H₂是一致的.

CH₂OH_Zn与OH_ad反应在Zn位点上形成H₂O分子. 升温或光照都能促进CH₃O^·转变为CH₃^·. 该研究对CH₃OH在ZnO(0001)表面的光催化反应机理提供了一个新的见解.     

二元混合体系Gemini表面活性剂G12-6-12和CTAB相互作用的NMR研究

运用NMR方法探讨了298 K时N,N'-双(十二烷基二甲基)-1,6-己烷溴化铵(G12-6-12)和十六烷基三甲基溴化铵(CTAB)在D₂O溶液中的相互作用. 测得G12-6-12和CTAB的临界胶束浓度cmc值分别约为0.773和0.668 mmol/L. 在不同G12-6-12摩尔分数下,混合体系的临界胶束浓度实验值cmc_*小于理想值CMC^*,相互作用参数β_M<0,但是当α≤0.3时,cmc^*比CMC^*小很多,同时 满足|β_M|>ln(cmc₁/cmc₂)条件. 表明G12-6-12和CTAB之间存在协同效应,可以形成混合胶束,在2D NOESY谱中可以看到G12-6-12与CTAB分子间的交叉峰,扩散实验也表明混合溶液中的胶束半径比纯溶液中的G12-6-12胶束半径大,都预示混合胶束的形成. 当α>0.3 时,cmc^*≈CMC^*,β_M≈0, 根据假相分离模型和规则溶液理论,G12-6-12和CTAB近似于理想混合.     

利用交流阻抗谱揭示Ir(111)电极在酸性溶液中的氢吸附动力学

本文利用阻抗谱研究Ir(111)电极在HClO₄和H₂SO₄中溶液中的氢吸附行为. 在HClO₄溶液中,随着施加电位从0.2 V降到0.1 V(vs RHE),Ir(111)电极上氢吸附速率从1.74×10^-8 mol·cm^-2·s^-1增大到 3.47×10^-7 mol·cm^-2·s^-1 . 与相同条件下Pt(111)电极上的氢吸附速率相比,Ir(111)上的氢吸附速率要小1∽2个数量级,这是由于Ir(111)电极与H₂O结合能力更强,因此位于水合氢键网络中的氢离子需要克服更高的能垒才能重新定向进而发生欠电位沉积. 在H₂SO₄溶液中,氢吸附电位负移了200 mV,吸附速率也下降了一个数量级,这是由于Ir(111)电极表面强吸附的硫酸根/硫酸氢根物种的阻碍作用. 结果表明,在电化学环境下,位于电极表面附近的水分子的取代和重新定向在很大程度上影响了氢吸附过程.     

Solvent effects on the intrinsic enhancement factors of the triplet exciplex generated by photoinduced electron transfer reaction between eosin Y and duroquinone

The spin dynamics of the duroquinone anion radical (DQ^?-) generated by photoinduced electron transfer reactions from triplet eosin Y (³EY^2-) to DQ have been studied by using transient absorption and pulsed EPR spectroscopy. Unusual net-absorptive electron spin polarization plus net-emissive polarization were observed, suggesting the production of the triplet exciplex or contact radical pair as the reaction intermediate. The kinetic parameters and intrinsic enhancement factors of the electron spin polarization were determined in various alcoholic solvents. The net-absorptive electron spin polarization was also observed in ethanol-water mixed solvents. The solvent effects on the radical yield are analysed on the basis of a stochastic Liouville equation established for the magnetic field effects on the radical yield. The zero-field splitting constants of the triplet exciplex are estimated from the solvent viscosity dependence of the enhancement factors due to spin-orbit coupling induced depopulation of the reaction intermediate.

Does the G·G*syn DNA mismatch containing canonical and rare tautomers of the guanine tautomerise through the DPT? A QM/QTAIM microstructural study

We have established that the asynchronous concerted double proton transfer (DPT), moving with a time gap and without stable intermediates, is the underlying mechanism for the tautomerisation of the G·G^*_syn DNA base mispair (C₁ symmetry), formed by the keto and enol tautomers of the guanine in the anti- and syn-configurations, into the G^*·G^*_syn base mispair (C₁), formed by the enol and imino tautomers of the G base, using quantum-mechanical calculations and Bader's quantum theory of atoms in molecules. By constructing the sweeps of the geometric, electron-topological, energetic, polar and natural bond orbital properties along the intrinsic reaction coordinate of the G·G^*_syn?G^*·G^*_syn DPT tautomerisation, the nine key points, that are critical for the atomistic understanding of the tautomerisation reaction, were set and comprehensively analysed. It was found that the G·G^*_syn mismatch possesses pairing scheme with the formation of the O6···HO6 (7.01) and N1H···N7 (6.77) H-bonds, whereas the G^*·G^*_syn mismatch – of the O6H···O6 (10.68) and N1···HN7 (9.59 kcal mol^?1) H-bonds. Our results highlight that these H-bonds are significantly cooperative and mutually reinforce each other in both mismatches. The deformation energy necessary to apply for the G·G^*_syn base mispair to acquire the Watson–Crick sizes has been calculated. We have shown that the thermodynamically stable G^*·G^*_syn base mispair is dynamically unstable structure with a lifetime of 4.1 × 10^?15 s and any of its six low-lying intermolecular vibrations can develop during this period of time. These data exclude the possibility to change the tautomeric status of the bases under the dissociation of the G·G^*_syn mispair into the monomers during DNA replication. Finally, it has been made an attempt to draw from the physico-chemical properties of all four incorrect purine–purine DNA base pairs a general conclusion, which claims the role of the transversions in spontaneous point mutagenesis.     

Tyrosyl Radical in the W164Y Mutant of P. eryngii Versatile Peroxidase: an EPR and DFT/PCM Study

Versatile peroxidases (VP) constitute a new class of high redox potential fungal enzymes that are able to degrade lignin and large substrate molecules. These enzymes catalyze the oxidation of substrates at an exposed tryptophan radical formed by a long-range electron transfer mechanism to heme following the activation by H₂O₂. In a previous paper, it was demonstrated using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and electron-nuclear double resonance experiments on wild-type VP that Trp164 was the radical site and that it was in a hydrogen-bonded neutral form. In this paper, the W164Y variant is analyzed and it is shown that also the variant is able to form the so-called Compound I (VPI) in the form of protein radical, although in different yields with respect to the wild type. The X-band EPR experiments in combination with density functional theory/polarizable continuum model calculations show that the W164Y mutant is able to form a neutral radical on Tyr164 residue, after activation by H₂O₂, but in contrast to Trp164, tyrosine is not expected to be hydrogen bonded.     

Computational study of the decomposition mechanisms of ammonium dinitramide in the gas phase

CBS-QB3 method has been employed to determine the geometries, the vibrational frequencies of the reactants, the products and the transition states involved in intramolecular hydrogen-transfer and decomposition reactions of the free gas-phase H₃N···HN(NO₂)₂ (ADN^*). The results show that the intramolecular hydrogen-transfer reaction of ADN^* is more feasible than that of HDN. ADN^* and its hydrogen-transfer isomers ADN^*-IIa,b,c decompose along four channels to form NH₃ + HONO + 2NO (P_I), ?H + ?O₃ + N₂ + NH₃ (P_II), ?H + ?O₂ + N₂O + NH₃ (P_III), and HNO₃ + N₂O + NH₃ (P_IV), respectively. It has been found that the dominant decomposition channels are P_I and P_III. The hydrogen-transfer reaction can reduce the barrier of elimination of NO₂ and forming N₂O reactions in ADN^* and HDN. The decomposition of ADN^*-IIc to form NO₂ and N₂O is more feasible than that of the gas-phase HDN. The rate constants (k) of rate-determining step of ADN^* show that k_PI and k_PIII are higher than k_PIV and k_PII. Compared with HDN-IIc → N₂O+?H+?O₂, k_PIII of ADN^*-IIc is significantly higher than that of k^HDN-IIc. These results reveal that NH₃ (as a chaperon) has a certain influence on the decomposition mechanisms and kinetics of ADN^*.     

Study of cation tracer diffusion in NaF

Cation tracer diffusion coefficients were measured in pure NaF crystals in the intrinsic ionic conductivity range (876–970 °C). The results can be rationalized satisfactorily in terms of contributions to the observed Na tracer diffusivities arising from both free vacancies and neutral vacancy pairs, the latter contribution amounting to about 53 per cent of the total Na diffusion at the highest measuring temperature. The best-fit defect parameters derived in an earlier conductivity study [21] from this laboratory on similar NaF crystals give for the free vacancy contribution D_v^*(Na) = 4·25 exp (?2·21 eV/kT) cm²s^?1. A combination of these D_v^*(Na) values with the present diffusion data yields for the vacancy-pair contribution D_p^*(Na) = 1·15 × 10⁸exp (?4·04 eV/kT) cm²s^?1. Comparison of the present findings with published values of the anion tracer diffusion coefficient in NaF showed that D_p^* (F) is 2·3 to 4·4 times larger than D_p^*(Na) over the temperature range of our observations, the difference between the two contributions increasing with decreasing temperature. When approximate account is taken of the temperature-dependence of the two pair correlation factors, this last result indicates that the anion jumps into the vacancy pair occur with a higher frequency, and increasingly so at lower temperatures, than do those involving the cations.     

The Reaction of Synechocystis Catalase–Peroxidase (KatG) with Isoniazid Investigated by Multifrequency (9–285 GHz) EPR Spectroscopy

Three distinct electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of radical intermediates formed as reactive intermediates in the catalytic cycle of Synechocystis catalase–peroxidase were identified. Multifrequency EPR spectroscopy, combined with site-directed mutagenesis and selective deuterium labeling of Trp and Tyr residues, allowed us to unequivocally assign such intermediates to an [Fe(IV) = O Por ^·+] species, the first committed intermediate in monofunctional peroxidases and two protein-based radicals, identified as Trp106 ^· and a Tyr ^· , formed subsequently to the [Fe(IV) = O Por ^·+] species by intramolecular electron transfer. Our recent characterization of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis catalase–peroxidase showed that the Trp ^· sites differ among these enzymes, and that the [Fe(IV) = O Trp ^· ] species was the reactive intermediate with the prodrug isoniazid. Accordingly, the question to address was whether the dissimilarity in the sites for the formation of the Trp ^· intermediates and in the geometry of the distal side was reflected by differences in the peroxidase-like reaction of Synechocystis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis catalase–peroxidases with the prodrug isoniazid. Our findings show that in the Synechocystis enzyme, the isoniazid substrate can get closer to the heme distal side and can react readily with the [Fe(IV) = O Por ^·+] species, at variance to the situation in the M. tuberculosis catalase–peroxidase. These results indicate that, as in the case of monofunctional peroxidases, the difference in the sites for the formation of the Trp ^· as alternative reactive intermediates to the [Fe(IV) = O Por ^·+] species is correlated to differences in substrate binding sites.     

激光闪光光解研究二羟基蒽醌和腺嘌呤/胞嘧啶的电子转移反应

采用纳秒时间分辨的激光闪光光解技术研究了乙腈/水混合溶液中二羟基蒽醌和腺嘌呤或胞嘧啶之间的电子转移反应. 在355 nm紫外光作用下,经由系间窜跃产生的三重态二羟基蒽醌与两碱基分别发生电子转移反应,其中碱基作为典型的电子给体. 基于测量到的反应瞬态中间体的动力学淬灭速率,两个反应过程被认为分步进行,先电子转移之后发生质子转移反应. 通过研究表观淬灭速率与两个碱基浓度的依赖关系,分别得到了两个双分子间电子转移反应的速率常数,分别是9.0×10⁸ L/(mol·s) (胞嘧啶)、3.3×10⁸ L/(mol·s) (腺嘌呤).     

Formation and photofragmentation properties of isolated aromatic amino acid-silver cluster hybrids

The formation of isolated [ (Trp-2H)+Ag₉] ⁺ and [ (Tyr-2H)+Ag₉] ⁺ amino-acid-Ag₉ hybrids is reported. The photofragmentation yields of the aromatic amino acid-silver cluster hybrids, as well as those of the protonated tryptophan and tyrosine molecules ([Trp+H]⁺ and [Tyr+H]⁺) have been recorded. The fragmentation yields of the complexes are higher than the yields for [Trp+H]⁺and [Tyr+H]⁺ and present an extension of the fragmentation on the red side of the spectrum. The photofragmentation spectrum of [ Trp+Ag₉] ⁺ was recently reported [Mitric et al., J. Chem. Phys. 127, 134301 (2007)]. While the optical spectra of substituted [ (Trp-2H)+Ag₉] ⁺ and non-substituted [ Trp+Ag₉] ⁺ complexes are very similar, a strong modification of the fragmentation channels between the two complexes is observed. The fragmentation channels are sensitive to the type of bonding in aromatic amino acid-silver cluster hybrids and can be used as fingerprints of structures.
