Separation of acetylated amino acids

Acetylated amino acids (Nac-AA) are separated as anions on a reversed stationary phase from a mobile phase containing a quaternary ammonium (R₄N⁺) salt as a mobile phase additive. If the counteranion accompanying the R₄N⁺ or ionic strength salt is detector active than the separated NAc-AA derivatives can be detected by an indirect detection strategy. Variables influencing the separations are NAc-AA side chain structure and the mobile phase parameters such as hdyrophobicity of the alkyl groups in the R₄N⁺ salt, R₄N⁺ salt concentration, counteranion eluent strength, counteranion concentration, solvent composition, and pH. Indirect detection is influenced by these same mobile phase parameters as well as the properties of the detector active counteranion. The detection limit for indirect photometric detection at 287 nm using a tetrapentylammonium salt with a disodium 1,5-naphthalenedisulfonate—sodium benzoate counteranion mixture was about 70 pmol of NAc-AA depending on the amino acid injected as a 10-μ1 sample.     

d(GGTATACC)2与乙二胺四乙酸在溶液中的相互作用

空气的尘埃中含有一种核苷酸降解酶,这种酶很容易被溶液中痕量的Mg2+等金属离子激活,从而使溶液中的DNA或RNA解链或失活.因而用NMR方法研究核酸的溶液结构时,需要在磷酸缓冲溶液中加入乙二胺四乙酸(EDTA)或其钠盐,保持其浓度大于0.1mmol/L[1～3],利用EDTA与包括Mg2+在内的众多金属离子的强络合作用,解除Mg2+等金属离子对核苷酸降解酶的激活功能,达到保护核酸活性的目的.     

[(Me3Sn)2(Me3Sb)M(CN)6]∞ (M = Fe, Ru): Neuartige Organo-Sn/Sb-Polymere von besonderer chemischer und thermischer stabilität

The thermally (decomp. temp. 300°C) and completely air stable, novel coordination polymers [(Me₃Sn^IV)₂(Me₃Sb^V)M^II(CN)₆]_∞ with M = Fe and Ru can be prepared by co-precipitation from aqueous solutions of Me₃SnCl, Me₃SbBr₂ and K₄[(M(CN)₆], or, alternatively, by the ion-exchange-like reaction of the polymers [A(Me₃Sn)₃M(CN)₆]_∞ (A⁺ = Et₄N⁺, Cp₂Co⁺, Me₃Sn⁺ etc.) with Me₃SbBr₂. IR-spectroscopic findings suggest a statistical distribution of quasi-octahedral M(CN-Sn··)_6-x(CNSb ··)_x building blocks (with x = 0–6) within a three-dimensional network.     

Electric Field-driven Acid-base Transformation: Proton Transfer from Acid(HBr/HF) to Base(NH3/H2O)

The proton-transfer between ammonia/water and HF/HBr without and with the stimulus of external electric fields(E_ext) was investigated with the ab initio calculations. When external electric field is applied, the proton transfer occurs, resulting in ion-paired H₄N⁺X^- and H₃O⁺X^-(X=Br and F) from hydrogen-bonded complexes in view of the great changes of geometrical structures, dipole moments, frontier molecular orbitals and potential energy surfaces in the critical external electric fields(E_c) of 1.131×107 V/cm for H₃N-HBr, 1.378×108 V/cm for H₃N-HF, 9.358×107 V/cm for H₂O-HBr and 2.304×108 V/cm for H₂O-HF, respectively. Furthermore, one or three excess electrons can trigger the proton transfer from H₃N-HBr and H₃N-HF to H₄N⁺Br^- and H₄N⁺F^-, while two and four excess electrons can induce the proton transfer from H₂O-HBr and H₂O-HF to H₃O⁺Br^- and H₃O⁺F^-, respectively. Compared with that of the analogous NH₃/H₂O-HCl systems, the strength of E_c of proton transfer increases from HBr to HCl and HF for either H₃N-HX or H₂O-HX series, which is understandable by the fact that the acidity sequence is HBr>HCl>HF. And the larger of acidity of conjugated acid, the smaller of needed E_c. On the other hand, the E_c for the systems of NH₃ with a stronger basicity is generally smaller than that of H₂O systems for the same conjugated acid.     

Structure and vibrational spectra of the bis(betaine)-selenic acid molecular crystal

The crystal structure of bis(betaine)-selenic acid has been determined by X-ray diffraction as orthorhombic, space group Pbca, with a = 11.591(2), b = 22.930(5), c = 12.045(2) Å and Z = 8. The crystal comprises hydrogen selenate ions, HSeO⁻₄, and two distinct betaine molecules, which are held together into a complex by short hydrogen bonds. One of the betaine molecules is present as the zwitterion form (CH₃)₃N⁺---CH₂---COO⁻ and the second occurs as the protonated form (CH₃)₃N⁺---CH₂---COOH. Powder FTIR and Raman spectra were measured. An assignment of the observed bands to vibrations of the hydrogen bonds and internal vibrations of the hydrogen selenate ion and the betaine molecules is proposed.

多核多氧硫钼酸盐化合物的合成及质子传导性能

质子交换膜燃料电池(PEMFC)因能量转化率高、 污染小、 工作温度低、 启动速度快而被广泛应用. Nafion系列膜成本高、 结构特性模糊, 阻碍了质子传导性能的进一步提高和对传导机理的精确理解. 因此开发具有结构明确、 传导路径清晰的高质子传导率的晶态材料对于燃料电池领域具有重要意义. 本文利用有机配体5-羟基间苯二甲酸作为模板诱导[Mo₂S₂O₂]²⁺阳离子, 自组装成一种多核多氧硫钼酸盐簇[N(CH₃)₄]₂H₂· [(Mo₂S₂O₂)₈(OH)₁₆(C₈O₅H₄)₂]·22H₂O(Mo₁₆). 该化合物清晰明确的结构和结构中存在的密集氢键网络可用于进行质子传导性能的研究. 交流阻抗测试结果表明, Mo₁₆在宽温度范围内具有较高的质子传导性能. 在97%湿度(RH), 85 ℃条件下其质子传导率可达1.9×10^-2 S/cm, 表明该化合物具有作为高效质子导体的良好前景.

Optically active coordination compounds---XLVIII. Synthesis, resolution and interconversions of isomers of tris-salicylatocobaltate(III)

Stable aqueous solutions of the green ion [Co(sa1)₃]³⁻ (sa1 = dianion, C₆H₄( )(CO ), of salicylic acid, 2-hydroxybenzoic acid) are obtained from [Co(NH₃)₅ C1]C1₂ and an excess of salicylic acid. Several salts, [C][Co(sa1)₃] have been characterized, where C = [Co(NH₃)₆]³⁺ and [M(en)₃]³⁺ (M = Co or Rh, EN = 1,2-diamino-ethane). By using (+)-[Rh(en)₃]³⁺, optical resolution via less soluble diastereoisomeric salts has been achieved, and isomerization and racemization have been studied. Resolved tris-malonatocobaltate(III) has been used as a model. A novel thermochromism (77-293 K) in solid Δ(+)-[Rhen₃]Λ[Co(sa1)₃ is described.     

Charge transfer photochemistry of Ru(bpz)3 with carboxylic acids and carboxylate ions

Ru(bpz)₃²⁺ (bpz = 2,2′-bipyrazine) has six peripheral uncoordinated nitrogen atoms potentially available for protonation in presence of acids. The emission from ^*Ru(bpz)₃²⁺ is efficiently quenched by organic acids and the observed quenching rate constants are explained in terms of proton transfer from acids to ^*Ru(bpz)₃²⁺. The absorption and emission intensity of Ru(bpz)₃²⁺ increases with increasing concentration of carboxylate ion suggesting the complex formation between the two reactants in the ground state. From these studies, the formation constant (K_f) have been evaluated by Benesi–Hildebrand method. The K_f values indicate that generally the ion pair association constants estimated from absorption and emission techniques are comparable and these values are sensitive to the structure of the carboxylate ions.     

Effect of high coverages on proton transfer in the zeolite/water system

The density functional theory and Hartree–Fock methods were used to investigate the proton transfer reaction for a series of model clusters of zeolite/(H₂O)_n; n=1,2,3, and 4. Without promoted water, the hydrogen-bonded dimer of the water/zeolite system exists as a simple hydrogen-bonded complex, ZOH.(H₂O)₂, and no proton transfer occurs from zeolite to water. The third promoted water, ZOH(H₂O)₂H₂O, was found to induce a pathway for proton transfer, but at least addition two promoted molecules, ZO(H₃O⁺)H₂O(H₂O)₂, must be involved for complete proton transfer from zeolite to H₂O. The results show that the hydronium ion in water cluster adsorbed on zeolite, ZO(H₃O⁺)(H₂O)₃, can considerably affect the structure and bonding of the hydrogen-bonded dimer of water. The OO distance is contracted from 2.818 Å found in the neutral complex, ZOH(H₂O)₄, to 2.777 Å for ion-pair complex, ZO(H₃O⁺)(H₂O)₃. The distance between the oxygen of the hydronium ion and the zeolitic acid site oxygen is predicted to be 2.480 Å which is in good agreement with the experimentally observed value of 2.510 Å. The corresponding density functional adsorption energy of the high coverages of adsorbing molecules on zeolite is calculated to be −9.14 kcal/mol per molecule at B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory and compares well with the experimental observation of −8.20 kcal/mol.     

酸量法测定四氢硼酸和八氢三硼酸季铵盐和碱金属盐

鉴定有机硼化合物,往往要测定元素硼的含量。用氧瓶燃烧分解法测定有机硼最为简便迅速,但由于有碳化硼的形成,常常导致元素分析值的偏低;用此法只能分解很少量样品,且不能完全燃烧^[1]。同时有机硼化合物中Fe、Co、Ni、Zn、Cu、Cr、Mn等金属元素的存在,常常对容量法或比色法测定硼有干扰。

Studies on the Halogen Substituted β-Amino Acids and Their Cu(Ⅱ) Coordination Complexes in Crystallography

Halogen substituted β-amino acids, D,L-3-amino-3-(4-fluoro)phenylpropionic acid(D,L-HL1, 1) and D,L-3-amino-3-(4-bromo)phenylpropionic acid(D,L-HL2, 2), as well as their Cu(Ⅱ) coordination complexes[Cu(L1)₂(CH₃OH)₂]·2CH₃OH(3) and[Cu(L2)₂(CH₃OH)₂]·2CH₃OH(4) were investigated and their single crystal structures were discussed in details. Supramolecular helical chains were found in β-amino acids 1 and 2 while there was no helix in their coordination complexes 3 and 4. The formation of supramolecular helixes could be due to the hydrogen bonds between terminal-NH³⁺ and adjacent-COO^- in β-amino acids 1 and 2. While, this kind of hydrogen bonds could not be observed in their Cu(Ⅱ) coordination complexes 3 and 4, in which central-symmetrical dimers could be formed via coplanar coordinated bonds(N-Cu-O) between-NH₂ and-COO^-.

TOPO-C₂mimNTf₂和TOPO-C₄mimNTf₂体系萃取UO₂(NO₃)₂时会出现三相, 而TBPO萃取UO₂(NO₃)₂的萃合物可以很好地溶解在所有离子液体中. 论文也考察了萃取过程中的萃取剂浓度效应、酸效应、盐效应. 水相加入HNO₃会降低萃取效率. 盐效应证明了萃取是一种阳离子交换机理. 水相中加入NO₃^-能够提高U的萃取, 这说明NO₃^-参与萃取. 选择性研究表明: 除了在高酸度下对Zr 的显著萃取, TBPO-C₄mimNTf₂萃取体系在低酸度下对U呈现较好的选择性; 去除U后, 在低酸度下该体系对三价Nd 仍保持较好的选择性. 通过定量比较离子液体中NO₃^-进入量, 电喷雾质谱(ESI-MS)和紫外光谱表征确定了TBPO-C_nmimNTf₂中萃取机理的差异性. 萃取中存在两种萃合物, 即UO₂(TBPO)₃(NO₃)⁺和UO₂(TBPO)₃²⁺, 其中UO₂(TBPO)₃(NO₃)⁺的比例从C₂mimNTf₂体系到C₈mimNTf₂体系逐渐增加.

Synthesis and crystal structure of the double barium-titanium methoxide [Ba2Ti4O(OMe)18(MeOH)7]·MeOH

The X-ray diffraction study of crystals isolated from solutions obtained by reaction of Ba(OMe)₂ with Ti(OMe)₄ (molar ratio 1:2) in methyl alcohol was carried out; the crystals of the methanol solvate of the double barium-titanium methoxide, [Ba₂Ti₄O(OMe)₁₈(MeOH)₇]·MeOH (1), contain two Ba²⁺ cations with different environments and two kinds of anionic binuclear titanium complexes with and without oxo-ligand, and thus can be formulated as [Ba(MeOH)₂]²⁺[Ba(MeOH)₅]²⁺[Ti₂O(OMe)₈]²⁻[Ti₂(OMe)₁₀]²⁻·MeOH.     

Reactivity of tri- and tetra-nuclear ethylidyne cyclopentadienylcobalt clusters towards protonic acids

The bis(μ₃-ethylidyne) tricobalt cluster [(CpCo)₃(μ₃-CCH₃)₂] (1b) is protonated by trifluoroacetic acid to give the dicobalt edge-protonated cation [H(CpCo)₃(μ₃-CCH₃)₂]⁺ [lb + H]⁺. Protonation of the μ₃-ethylidyne tetracobalt cluster hydride [H(CpCo)₄(μ₃-CCH₃)] (3) takes place in two consecutive steps. At low temperature [H₂(CpCo)₄(μ₃-CCH₃)]⁺ [3 + H]⁺ is formed first, and is then slowly converted into [H₃(CpCo)₄(μ₃-CCH₃)]²⁺ [3 + 2H]²⁺ by an excess of acid. As judged by the ¹H NMR data and the crystal structure of [3 + X]⁺[(CF₃COO)₂X]⁻ (X = H or D) the endo hydrogens in [3 + H]⁺ and [3 + 2H]²⁺ occupy μ₃-(Co₃) face capping hydridic positions. The cations [1b + H]⁺ and [3 + H]⁺ show hydride fluxionality in solution, which in the case of [3 + H]⁺ can be frozen out on the NMR timescale at low temperature (ΔG ^≠ (203 K) = 40.8 kJ/mol). The structure of [3 + X]⁺ [(CF₃COO)₂X]⁻ (X = H or D) was determined by X-ray crystallography. One of the hydrides/deuterides is located on the crystallographic mirror plane, capping a tricobalt face of the cluster cation. The other endo hydrogen atom is believed to be disordered between the other two μ₃-(Co₃) sites, which are related by space group symmetry. Deuteronation of 3 shows a strong normal kinetic deuterium isotope effect. From the temperature independence of the ¹H NMR spectrum of [3 + 2D]²⁺ a non-fluxional solution structure can be inferred. In all the systems studied, hydridic (μ₂- or μ₃-) sites are thermodynamically preferred to possible isomeric agostic CoHC or Co₂HC sites for the endo hydrogens. Agostic interactions cannot, however, be ruled out in transient intermediates during the course of the protonations.     

THE LIGHT DEPENDENT QUENCHING OF CHLOROPLAST FLUORESCENCE BY COFACTORS OF CYCLIC ELECTRON FLOW IN PHOTOSYSTEM I

Abstract—When 3–(3',4'-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea poisoned, intact thylakoids of isolated chloroplasts are illuminated in salt free suspension media, N -methylphenazinium cations (MP⁺) are reversibly taken up. Simultaneously, the chlorophyll fluorescence is reversibly lowered. When inorganic salts in the reaction medium provide membrane permeant charge balancing ions, the extent of the MP⁺ association with the thylakoids is strongly increased, but the fluorescence lowering is hardly affected. lonophoretically active agents inhibit specifically the salt dependent increment of the MP⁺ interaction with the thylakoids, but have only insignificant effects on the fluorescence lowering provided the experimental conditions do not allow the formation of a proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane. On the basis of these results, and of data obtained from comparative studies with other cofactors of cyclic electron transport in PS I, it is suggested that the 'energy dependent' fluorescence lowering is linked to a binding of cationic cofactors to nucleophilic sites in or at the thylakoid membrane. Such sites appear to become exposed in the wake of a light dependent transport of the cofactor, or of protons, into the thylakoid.     

Synthetic [FeFe]-H2ase models bearing phosphino thioether chelating ligands

Through the oxidation-reduction combination procedure, the neutral tri-substituted {2Fe3S} complex 2 was synthesized by replacing the CO ligand in 1 with phosphine. This substitution leads to the Fe-Fe bonds in 1 and 2 with large Lewis basicity difference, i.e. △pK_a^MeCN~10.
