Synthesis and fluorescence behaviour of crown and azacrown ethers carrying the dansyl fluorophore as a pendant in acetonitrile solution

The influence of Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Cs⁺, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, Sr²⁺, Ba²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Pb²⁺ and Al³⁺ ions on the spectroscopic properties of the dansyl group covalently linked to crown ether or diazacrown ethers was investigated by means of absorption and emission spectrophotometry. Interaction of the alkali metal ions with all fluoroionophores studied is weak, while alkaline earth metal ions interact strongly causing about 50% quenching of dansyl fluorescence of A21C5-Dns and A₂18C6-Dns. The Cu²⁺, Pb²⁺ and Al³⁺ cations interact very strongly with dansyl chromophore regardless the crown ether type, causing a major change in absorption spectrum of the chromophore and forming non-fluorescent complexes. The Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Zn², Mg²⁺ and Ag⁺ cations interact moderately with all fluoroionophores studied causing about 20% of fluorescence quenching of dansyl, except for a strong dansyl fluorescence quenching of 15C5-Dns by Co²⁺ ion. The quenching efficiency of didansylated fluoroionophores by the alkali metal ions and alkaline earth metal ions is weaker than monodansylated ones.

Study of the formation of bimetallic aqueous Tl/Cu sols by gamma and electron irradiation

The spectral characteristics of the bimetallic sols produced by gamma and electron irradiation of mixed solutions of Tl⁺–Cu²⁺ ions in different ratios have been studied in aqueous medium. The intermediate transient species have also been characterized by the technique of pulse radiolysis. The rate constant for the reaction of Cu²⁺ion with the Tl⁺ ion reduction species was founded by 4×10⁹ dm³ mol⁻¹s⁻¹. Developmental absorption spectra in gamma radiolytic reduction of the mixed ions indicated reduction of Tl⁺ ion on the surface of small copper particles, resulting in bimetallic-sol with core of copper. The presence of a small concentration of Cu²⁺ ion was found to restrict the agglomeration process of thallium particles at near neutral pH conditions. The reducing capability of the bimetallic sols was found to be proportional to the thallium content in the sol. The observed UV–Vis spectra of the mixed Tl/Cu sols produced on electron irradiation showed much lower absorption in the higher wavelength region and were more close to that of the pure sol of the ion, present in higher concentration in the feed solution. Thus, the high dose rate-assisted stabilization of smaller thallium particles. Size of all these bimetallic sol particles was much less than 50 nm.     

CuNaY分子筛的制备及其催化甲醇氧化羰基化

采用多种铜盐溶液与NaY分子筛离子交换制备了CuNaY催化剂,通过加入氨水提高溶液pH值以及高温活化,显著提高了该催化剂对甲醇氧化羰基化合成碳酸二甲酯的反应活性。不同的铜盐水溶液交换制备的CuNaY催化剂催化活性不同,添加氨水将溶液pH值调节为11后,离子交换制备的CuNaY催化剂的催化活性和DMC选择性明显升高且趋于一致。经元素分析、XRD、XPS和H₂-TPR表征可知,加入氨水可促进Cu²⁺离子交换的进行,提高CuNaY催化剂中Cu的交换量,催化剂中约75%的Cu²⁺定位于分子筛的超笼中。

Photo-physical properties of the transition metal ions complexes of the calix[4]arene derivatives

The complexing properties of the calix[4]arene having two anthracene moieties at the upper rim toward transition metal ions and their photo-physical properties have been studied. The presence of a Schiff Base unit allows the chelation of transition metal cations such as Cu²⁺, Co³⁺, which leads to a weakening of the charge transfer process in the absorption spectrum and to an enhancement of the fluorescence of the anthracene moiety.     

Novel Fluorescent Chemosensors Based on Tryptophan Unit for Cu2+ and Fe3+ in Aqueous Solution

We reported four fluorescent chemosensors containing tryptophan units. The fluorescence spectrum titration experiments suggest that chemosensors 1, 2, 3 and 4 are highly selective for Cu²⁺ and Fe³⁺ over Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Co²⁺, Zn²⁺, Ni²⁺, Hg²⁺ and Cr³⁺ via forming complexes with Cu²⁺ or Fe³⁺, which is confirmed by dramatical quench of fluoreseence in aqueous solution at pH 7.4, thus making all the chemosensors suitable for Cu²⁺ and Fe³⁺ fluorescent sensors.     

Fluorescent peptide sensor for the selective detection of Cu

A new fluorescent peptidyl chemosensor for Cu²⁺ ions with fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) capabilities has been synthesized via Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis. The metal chelating unit, which is flanked by the fluorophores tryptophan (donor) and dansyl chloride (acceptor), consists of the amino acids glycine and aspartic acid (Gly-Gly-Asp-Gly-Gly-Asp-Gly-Gly-Asp-Gly-Gly-Asp-Gly-Gly). Coordination of the Cu²⁺ ions to the metal chelating unit results in fluorescent quenching of both the donor and acceptor fluorophores. Although it was determined that Cu²⁺ binding causes no change in FRET efficiency, emission and Cu²⁺-induced quenching of the acceptor dye can be used to monitor the concentration of the copper ions, with a detection limit of 32 μg L⁻¹. The sensor also demonstrated sensitivity, reversibility and selectivity towards Cu²⁺ in a transition metal matrix at pH 7.0.

Highly Sensitive and Selective Chemosensor for Cu2+ Based on a Schiff Base

A new chemosensor based on a Schiff base has been designed and synthesized. Its sensing behavior toward various metal ions was investigated by fluorescence and UV-Vis spectroscopic methods. The fluorescence of the sensor was quenched and the color rapidly changed from canary yellow to brown after the addition of Cu²⁺, while no changes occurred after the addition of other metal ions, which contributes to the detection of Cu²⁺ with naked eyes. The fluorescence quantum yield of the ligand was calculated to be 0.52. The corresponding detection limit of Cu²⁺ was 5.721×10^-7 mol/L, and the 1:1 binding mode of the sensor with Cu²⁺ was revealed by Job's plot.     

铜离子与SALI3-2蛋白的相互作用

用1/2 MS固体培养基培养拟南芥幼苗, 研究了CuCl₂对转Sali3-2基因植株生长的影响, 发现转基因植株Sali3-2的表达可提高其耐受Cu²⁺胁迫的能力. 进一步克隆Sali3-2基因, 表达并纯化了缺失信号肽的 SALI3-2 蛋白. 利用固定金属离子亲和色谱(IMAC)分析发现, Cu²⁺ 能够与 SALI3-2 蛋白结合. 通过荧光光谱及圆二色光谱(CD)进一步研究了Cu²⁺ 与 SALI3-2 蛋白间的键合机理. 结果表明, Cu²⁺ 可引起SALI3-2 蛋白内源性荧光猝灭, 其猝灭机制为静态猝灭; Cu²⁺ 与SALI3-2 蛋白的结合常数为8.89×10⁶, 结合位点数为1.6. CD分析显示, Cu²⁺ 与SALI3-2 蛋白的结合未使SALI3-2 蛋白二级结构发生明显改变. 由此推测, 在高浓度铜离子胁迫下, SALI3-2蛋白通过结合一定数量的Cu²⁺使蛋白的构象发生改变, 这可能是SALI3-2蛋白的表达使植物耐受Cu²⁺胁迫能力提高的分子机制之一.     

过渡金属离子(Cu2+、Cd2+)对藻红蛋白单体的漂白机制

藻胆蛋白是一组同源捕光色素蛋白,由多肽链及相连的开链四吡咯环色团构成。多肽链对色团的调控形成不同藻胆蛋白的特征吸收及荧光光谱。这些色团是藻蓝胆素(吸收带590～670 nm)、藻红胆素(吸收带530～570 nm)和藻尿胆素(吸收带490～500nm)。藻尿胆素由于在共轭体系中含有较少的双键,所以与前二者比,在较短波长有吸收。它们总是与藻红胆素伴生,在藻胆蛋白中作为敏化基团存在。     

盐水溶液中离子与丙氨酸极性基团间的作用对丙氨酸缔合的影响:密度泛函理论与分子动力学模拟

采用密度泛函理论和经典分子动力学模拟研究了盐水溶液中Na⁺、Cu²⁺、Zn²⁺、Cl^-与丙氨酸分子间的相互作用对丙氨酸分子缔合的影响. 密度泛函理论的计算结果显示丙氨酸分子与Na⁺、Cu²⁺、Zn²⁺、Cl^-之间的相互作用可增强其电荷分离. 经典分子动力学模拟结果显示在水溶液中两性离子形式的丙氨酸存在三种缔合结构.盐水溶液中, 阳离子、阴离子与丙氨酸间的相互作用均能一定程度上减弱丙氨酸分子的缔合. 但是阳离子与丙氨酸间的相互作用明显受离子水合作用的影响. 由于Cu²⁺水合作用较强, 虽在气相中Cu²⁺与丙氨酸分子之间相互作用明显比Na⁺强, 但是在水溶液中则情况刚好相反. 在ZnCl₂稀溶液中, Zn²⁺与丙氨酸间的相互作用被其第一水合壳层隔开. 但这种相互作用仍能明显影响丙氨酸分子的缔合, 这与Zn²⁺的水合壳层特征有关. 另外, 离子与丙氨酸之间的相互作用, 不仅会削弱丙氨酸的缔合, 也可导致丙氨酸分子间的缔合结构发生转变. 离子浓度也会影响其与丙氨酸分子间的缔合形式以及丙氨酸的缔合结构.     

Aziridination of styrene: comparison of [N-(p-tolylsulfonyl)imino]phenyliodinane and chloramine-T as nitrene donors

Chloramine-T and [N-(p-tolylsulfonyl)imino]phenyliodinane (PhI=NTs) are contrasted as nitrene donors for the aziridination of styrene using copper(II) triflate, and copper-exchanged zeolite Y (CuHY) as catalysts. For both catalysts, PhI=NTs is found to give significantly higher yields of the aziridine both in the presence and absence of a chiral bis(oxazoline) modifier. In addition, chloramine-T is found to induce leaching of most of the Cu from CuHY, and with this nitrene donor CuHY does not function as a heterogeneous catalyst. In contrast, PhI=NTs causes negligible leaching of Cu from CuHY and, consequently, for the heterogeneous CuHY catalyst, PhI=NTs is the preferred nitrene donor. With chloramine-T, the beneficial effects observed on addition of copper powder are shown to be due to the copper powder acting as a reservoir for Cu²⁺ in solution, since Cu²⁺ in solution is rapidly deactivated by toluenesulfonamide, a degradation product of the nitrene donor.

Aggregation-induced emission enhancement of yellow photoluminescent carbon dots for highly selective detection of environmental and intracellular copper(II) ions

Photoluminescent (PL) carbon nanodots (CDs) are prepared through a simple one-step hydrothermal treatment of o-phenylendiamine (OPD), and the as-prepared OPD-CDs show yellow PL emission under the ultraviolet excitation, which can be further enhanced by Cu²⁺ ions owing to Cu²⁺ ions induced aggregation of OPD-CDs through the coordination of Cu²⁺ with amino groups on the surface of OPD-CDs.
