Study on the atmospheric photochemical reaction of CF3 radicals using ultraviolet photoelectron and photoionization mass spectrometer

A study of the atmospheric photochemical reaction of CF₃ radical with CO and O₂ was performed by using a homemade ultraviolet photoelectron spectrometer-photoionization mass spectrometer (PES-PIMS). The electronic structures and mechanism of ionization and dissociation of CF₃OC(O)OOC(O)-OCF₃ were investigated. It was indicated that the two bands on the photoelectron spectrum of CF₃OC(O)OOC(O)OCF₃ are the result of ionization of an electron from a lone pair of oxygen and a fluorine lone pair of CF₃ group. The outermost electrons reside in the oxygen lone pair. The experimental and theoretical first vertical ionization energy is 13.21 and 13.178 eV, respectively, with the PES and OVGF method. They are in good agreement. The photo ionization and dissociation processes were discussed with the help of theoretical calculations and PES-PIMS experiment. After ionization, the parent ions prefer the dissociation of the C—O bond and giving the fragments CF₃OCO⁺ and CF₃⁺. It demonstrated that the ultraviolet photoelectron and photoionization mass spectrometer could be applied widely in the study of atmospheric photochemical reaction.

The detection and mapping of the spatial distribution of insect defense compounds by desorption atmospheric pressure photoionization Orbitrap mass spectrometry

Many insects use chemicals synthesized in exocrine glands and stored in reservoirs to protect themselves. Two chemically defended insects were used as models for the development of a new rapid analytical method based on desorption atmospheric pressure photoionization-mass spectrometry (DAPPI-MS). The distribution of defensive chemicals on the insect body surface was studied. Since these chemicals are predominantly nonpolar, DAPPI was a suitable analytical method. Repeatability of DAPPI-MS signals and effects related to non-planarity and roughness of samples were investigated using acrylic sheets uniformly covered with an analyte. After that, analytical figures of merit of the technique were determined. The spatial distribution of (E)-1-nitropentadec-1-ene, a toxic nitro compound synthesized by soldiers of the termite Prorhinotermes simplex, was investigated. Then, the spatial distribution of the unsaturated aldehydes (E)-hex-2-enal, (E)-4-oxohex-2-enal, (E)-oct-2-enal, (E,E)-deca-2,4-dienal and (E)-dec-2-enal was monitored in the stink bug Graphosoma lineatum. Chemicals present on the body surface were scanned along the median line of the insect from the head to the abdomen and vice versa, employing either the MS or MS² mode. In this fast and simple way, the opening of the frontal gland on the frons of termite soldiers and the position of the frontal gland reservoir, extending deep into the abdominal cavity, were localized. In the stink bug, the opening of the metathoracic scent glands (ostiole) on the ventral side of the thorax as well as the gland reservoir in the median position under the ventral surface of the anterior abdomen were detected and localized. The developed method has future prospects in routine laboratory use in life sciences.     

Feasibility of desorption atmospheric pressure photoionization and desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry to monitor urinary steroid metabolites during pregnancy

Steroids have important roles in the progress of pregnancy, and their study in maternal urine is a non-invasive method to monitor the steroid metabolome and its possible abnormalities. However, the current screening techniques of choice, namely immunoassays and gas and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry, do not offer means for the rapid and non-targeted multi-analyte studies of large sample sets. In this study, we explore the feasibility of two ambient mass spectrometry methods in steroid fingerprinting. Urine samples from pregnant women were screened by desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) and desorption atmospheric pressure photoionization (DAPPI) Orbitrap high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). The urine samples were processed by solid phase extraction for the DESI measurements and by enzymatic hydrolysis and liquid–liquid-extraction for DAPPI. Consequently, steroid glucuronides and sulfates were detected by negative ion mode DESI–HRMS, and free steroids by positive ion mode DAPPI–HRMS. In DESI, signals of eleven steroid metabolite ions were found to increase as the pregnancy proceeded, and in DAPPI ten steroid ions showed at least an order of magnitude increase during pregnancy. In DESI, the increase was seen for ions corresponding to C18 and C21 steroid glucuronides, while DAPPI detected increased excretion of C19 and C21 steroids. Thus both techniques show promise for the steroid marker screening in pregnancy.     

Theoretical study on the reaction mechanism of (CH3)3CO(.) radical with NO

The reaction mechanism of (CH3)3CO(.) radical with NO is theoretically investigated at the B3LYP/6-31G* level. The results show that the reaction is multi-channel in the single state and triplet state. The potential energy surfaces of reaction paths in the single state are lower than that in the triple state. The balance reaction: (CH3)3CONO←→ (CH3)3CO(.)+NO, whose potential energy surface is the lowest in all the reaction paths, makes the probability of measuring (CH3)3CO(.) radical increase. So NO may be considered as a stabilizing reagent for the (CH3)3CO(.)radical.     

Formation and decay of trifluoromethyl radicals during photodecomposition of the long-lived perfluoro-2,4-dimethyl-3-ethylpent-3-yl radical

UV irradiation of the long-lived radical [(CF₃)₂CF]₂C^·C₂F₅ (1) in a hexafluoropropylene trimer (HFPT) glassy matrix at 77 K and in a HFPT solution at 300 K leads to its decomposition to the ^·CF₃ radical and perfluoroolefin molecule. About 90% of the ^·CF₃ radicals formed recombine at 300 K. The remaining radicals add to the HFPT molecules generating the long-lived radicals [(CF₃)₂CF]₃C^·. Unlike the ^·CF₃ radicals produced by the photodecomposition of radicals 1, the ^·CF₃ radicals formed during radiolysis of HFPT are not stabilized in the glassy HFPT matrix at 77 K.     

Study of interface diffusion and reaction between Zr3N4 and stainless steel

The effect of annealing treatment on the interface diffusion and reaction between Zr₃N₄/stainless steel was studied by AES depth profiling along with line shape analysis. The Zr₃N₄ film was deposited on stainless‐steel substrates by reactive magnetron sputtering. Scanning electron microscopy, electron diffraction, AES and UV–VIS reflection were performed to characterize the deposited film. The results indicated that the interface diffusion between Zr₃N₄ and stainless steel took place during deposition and can be promoted by annealing treatment, but no interface reaction took place before or after annealing treatment. High‐temperature and long‐time annealing treatment resulted in obvious oxidation of the Zr₃N₄ layer. The UV–VIS reflection results indicated that the absorption band of Zr₃N₄ film shifted to shorter wavelength after annealing treatment. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Application of Biginelli reaction to the synthesis of ferrocenylpyrimidones and [3]-ferrocenophane-containing pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidinediones

A series of ferrocene-containing mono- and bis-dihydropyrimidines (DHP’s) were prepared by boric acid mediated three-component Biginelli reactions of formyl- and 1,1′-diformylferrocene, 1,3-dioxo-components and urea. A few further transformations including hydrogenolysis of a benzyl 4-ferrocenyl-DHP-5-carboxylate were also performed. Novel cis-fused saturated pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidine-2,7(1H,3H)-diones incorporating [3]-ferrocenophane moiety were constructed by means of iron(III)-catalyzed Biginelli-like condensations of 1,1′-diformylferrocene with urea and in situ generated methyl ketone-derived silyl enol ethers. The structures of the new compounds were established by IR and NMR spectroscopy, including HMQC, HMBC and DEPT measurements.     

Post-column photochemical reaction detection in liquid chromatography based on photosensitized generation of singlet molecular oxygen: Study of reaction parameters and application to the determination of polychlorinated biphenyls

Summary The parameters effecting the sensitivity and selectivity of a photochemical reaction detection scheme based on the reaction of 3-substituted pyrroles with singlet molecular oxygen (¹O₂) in HPLC are reported. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were chosen as model compounds for the detection scheme. Following separation by reverse-phase chromatography, PCBs are excited by a Hg pen-ray lamp in a crocheted PTFE photochemical reactor. PCBs that are efficient¹O₂-sensitizers promote ground state O₂ (³Σ_-3) to an excited state (¹Σ_g+ or¹Δ_g) which rapidly oxidizes 3-substituted pyrroles which are added to the mobile phase. Detection is based on the loss of pyrrole. The reaction is catalytic in nature since one analyte molecule may absorb light many times, producing large amounts of¹O₂. Detection limits for 4,4′-dichlorobiphenyl and Aroclors 1242, 1248 and 1254 were improved by 1–2 orders of magnitude over optimized UV-absorbance detection. Configuration of the photochemical reactor and judicious choice of the wavelength used to follow the loss of pyrrole were determined to be the most important factors in terms of sensitivity of the detection scheme. Comparison of three reagents (i.e. 3-substituted-pyrroles) used for trapping¹O₂ demonstrates the effect of substitution on sensitivity and to some extent selectivity of PCB determination.
