Osteryoung square wave voltammetric determination of lactose in food samples by a derivative procedure

A method for determination of lactose in food samples by Osteryoung square wave voltammetry （OSWV） was developed. It was based on the nucleophilic addition reaction between lactose and aqua ammonia. The carbonyl group of lactose can be changed into imido group, and this increases the electrochemical activity in reduction and the sensitivity. The optimal condition for the nucleophilic addition reaction was investigated and it was found that in NH4C1-NH3 buffer of pH 10.1, the linear range between the peak current and the concentration of lactose was 0.6-8.4 mg L-l, and the detection limits was 0.44 mg L- 1. The proposed method was applied to the ＇determination of lactose in food samples and satisfactory results were obtained.     

Study on the Interaction between Lanthanide Cationic Porphyrin Complex and Bovine Serum Albumin

The interaction between lanthanide cationic porphyri

n and bovine serum albumin （BSA） was studied by fluorescence and UV-Vis spectrum. The static quenching of BSA was observed in the presence of YbTMPyP. According to the thermodynamic parameters, this binding was regarded as ＂enthalpy-driven＂ reaction. Furthermore, YbTMPyP is so close to the residues of BSA that molecular resonance energy transfer occurs between them. Besides, the red drift and hypochromicity of absorption spectrum of YbTMPyP were accompanied with the binding reaction.     

A Monte Carlo simulation study of the effect of chain length on the hydrolysis of poly(lactic acid)

Abstract The intrinsic relationship between molecular chain length and the probability of chain reaction during poly(lactic acid)(PLA)hydrolysis was investigated by Monte Carlo simulation.The chain reaction rate was calculated by introducing a power function of different molecular chain lengths.The hydrolysis of both amorphous and extended-chain crystal PLA was selected as the model system.It is found that,the chain reaction probability was proportional to the chain length with a power of 0.4 for amorphous PLA and 0.7 1 for extended-chain crystal PLA,respectively.These results indicate that PLA with longer chain length usually exhibits larger reaction rate than that with shorter length.Comparing the hydrolysis of the two kinds of PLA,the competition between longer and shorter chains in the different condensed structures is different.

A novel photo-initiated approach for preparing aluminum diethylphosphinate under atmospheric pressure

A novel preparation of aluminum diethylphosphinate（AlPi） was carried out with free-radical addition reaction by means of UV-irradiation under atmospheric pressure.A solution of sodium hypophosphite was treated with ethylene and irradiated with ultraviolet light in the presence of an amount of photoinitiator effective to initiate the free-radical reaction between the hypophosphite anion and the double bond of the ethylene molecule.The ethylene was micro-bubbled into the reaction mixture with the addition of the photoinitiator,and the gas-liquid contact surface and the photoinitiator concentration in the gas-liquid interface were increased largely.The yield of the final product could be improved to about 96%.The contents of P,Al in samples were detected by ICP,and the molecular structure of the samples was confirmed by ³¹P NMR,¹H NMR and FTIR spectroscopic analysis.Thermal stability of the final products was investigated in detail by TG-DTA.

Eosin Y (EY) Photoredox‐Catalyzed Sulfonylation of Alkenes: Scope and Mechanism

Alkyl‐ and aryl vinyl sulfones were obtained by eosin Y (EY)‐mediated visible‐light photooxidation of sulfinate salts and the reaction of the resulting S‐centered radicals with alkenes. Optimized reaction conditions, the sulfinate and alkene scope, and X‐ray structural analyses of several reaction products are provided.

Synthesis of silica–silver wires by a sol–gel technique

SiO₂–Ag wires were synthesized by a sol–gel technique. A two step approach was followed, focusing mainly on the effect of acid concentration on the first stage and processing temperature on the second. This acid-catalyzed reaction on the first stage yielded SiO₂–AgCl wires with diameters as low as 800 nm average, and lengths ranging up to 100 μm, as determined by LV-SEM and TEM. A thermal treatment at different temperatures on the second step, under H₂ atmosphere, yields silica–silver unidirectional structures. The chemical composition of these structures was determined by EDS, indicating the presence of Si, O and Ag. The transformation of the wires as a function of temperature under reducing atmosphere was followed by electron microscopy analysis. At 400 °C and above the silica starts to cover the reduced silver while maintaining the unidirectional conformation, suggesting a tendency to form silver wires covered by a silica layer.     

One-pot sequential synthesis of magnetically separable Fe<Subscript>3</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript>/AgCl photocatalysts with enhanced activity and stability

Magnetically separable Fe₃O₄/AgCl photocatalysts were prepared by a one-pot sequential method. A series of techniques proved the hybrid structure of Fe₃O₄/AgCl composites. Fe₃O₄/AgCl composites had a much higher photocatalytic activity toward Rhodamine B (RhB) degradation than pure AgCl under the simulated solar light irradiation. The existence of metal Ag resulted in high photocatalytic activity of Fe₃O₄/AgCl, which was related with the amount of metallic Ag. The scavenging experiments showed that the degradation reaction most probably was initiated by the photoinduced single-electron transfer, and the generation of superoxide anion (O ₂ ^-· ) played a significant role. The composite photocatalysts could be recycled by applying an external magnetic field, and the reused composites maintained their original photocatalytic activity. Fe₃O₄/AgCl composites were highly efficient, magnetically separable, and recoverable. This proves their potential applications in the photodegradation of organic pollutants.     

In Situ Single‐Nanoparticle Spectroscopy Study of Bimetallic Nanostructure Formation

Bimetallic nanostructures (NSs), with utility in catalysis, are typically prepared using galvanic exchange (GE), but the final catalyst morphology is dictated by the dynamics of the process. In situ single nanoparticle (NP) optical scattering spectroscopy, coupled with ex situ electron microscopy, is used to capture the dynamic structural evolution of a bimetallic NS formed in a GE reaction between Ag and [PtCl₆]^2?. We identify an early stage involving anisotropic oxidation of Ag to AgCl concomitant with reductive deposition of small Pt clusters on the NS surface. At later stages of GE, unreacted Ag inclusions phase segregate from the overcoated AgCl as a result of lattice strain between Ag and AgCl. The nature of the structural evolution elucidates why multi‐domain Ag/AgCl/Pt NSs result from the GE process. The complex structural dynamics, determined from single‐NP trajectories, would be masked in ensemble studies due to heterogeneity in the response of different NPs.     

High‐throughput negative detection of SDS‐PAGE separated proteins and its application for proteomics

A negative detection method for proteins on SDS‐PAGE is described. In this method, Eosin Y (EY) was selectively precipitated in the gel background, which is absent from those zones where proteins are located through the formation of a stable water‐soluble protein–dye complex. Negative staining of proteins using EY, allows high‐sensitivity, low‐cost, and simple protocol. The new described method takes less than an hour to complete all the protocol, with a detection limit of 0.5 ng of single protein band. Comparing with imidazole‐zinc negative stain, EY dye provides broader linear dynamic range, higher sensitivity and reproducibility, and better obvious contrast between the protein bands or spots and background. Furthermore, the novel technique developed here presented a real practical method for simultaneous processing of multiple gels, which makes it possible to perform high‐throughput staining for proteome research. Additionally, we have also compared the influence of staining method on the quality of mass spectra by PMF.

Decomposition of Benzene Using a Pulse-Modulated DBD Plasma

To improve the energy yield (EY) of plasma volatile organic compound decomposition, a dielectric barrier discharge plasma driven by pulse-modulated AC power was used to experimentally study the abatement of benzene in atmospheric pressure air and at room temperature. The effects of the duty cycle on decomposition efficiency, EY, CO₂ selectivity and the formation of ozone and NO₂ were investigated. The results show that applying pulse modulation improves the EY and the CO₂ selectivity and greatly reduces the wall temperature of the reaction chamber.     

曙红Y的共振光散射与共振荧光

研究了曙红Y（EY）的共振散射光谱、荧光光谱和吸收光谱,讨论了共振光散射与共振荧光的区别与联系。在EY水溶液三维荧光等高线光谱图中,瑞利散射线与荧光等高线有部分相交。EY的共振散射峰（525nm）介于荧光激发峰（514nm）和发射峰（536nm）之间。由光偏振实验,测得EY共振散射光谱525nm处的偏振度P=0．20。上述实验结果证明,EY的共振散射峰主要是共振荧光。在改变pH的实验中发现,EY共振光散射增强是由于酸碱平衡的移动导致荧光型体的形成。由于自吸收的影响,共振散射光强度与EY浓度之间不是严格的线性关系。
