Controlling the dissociative ionization of ethanol with 800 and 400 nm two-color femtosecond laser pulses

Ethanol molecules were irradiated with a pair of temporally overlapping ultrashort intense laser pulses (10(13)-10(14) Wcm(2)) with different colors of 400 and 800 nm, and the dissociative ionization processes have been investigated. The yield ratio of the C-O bond breaking with respect to the C-C bond breaking was varied in the range of 0.17-0.53 sensitively depending on the delay time between the two laser pulses, and the absolute value of the yield of the C-O bond breaking was found to be increased largely when the Fourier-transform limited 800 nm laser pulse overlaps the stretched 400 nm laser pulse, demonstrating an advantage of the two-color intense laser fields in controlling chemical bond breaking processes.     

Simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of Fe(III), Al(III) and Cu(II) by partial least-squares calibration method

A spectrophotometric method for simultaneous determination of Fe(III), Al(III) and Cu(II) using Alizarin Red S as a chelating agent was developed. The parameters controlling behavior of the system were investigated and optimum conditions were selected. A partial least-squares multivariate calibration method was used for the analysis of ternary mixtures of Fe(III), Al(III) and Cu(II) over the range of 450-6000, 140-4000 and 450-15000 ng ml(-1), respectively. Absorbance data were taken between 400 and 800 nm. Applying this method to simultaneous determination of these metal ions in several synthetic alloy solutions with total relative standard error of less than 5% validated the proposed method.     

Peptide sequence determination by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization employing a tandem double focusing magnetic—Orthogonal acceleration time-of-flight mass spectrometer

This report describes the fragmentation processes for peptides induced by collisional activation of the ¹²C isobar of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI)-generated pseudomolecular ions employing an EBE orthogonal acceleration time-of-flight mass spectrometer and using xenon as the collision gas at a laboratory collision energy of 800 eV. These MALDI-collision-induced dissociation (CID) spectra are shown to provide sequence information of comparable quality to those obtained by using high energy CID conditions with liquid secondary ionization mass spectrometry on a four-sector tandem instrument. Peptide sequencing via MALDI-CID is demonstrated on three tryptic peptides obtained from a bacterial protein (P450 isozyme) of unknown sequence. Sensitivity is shown to be at the 1 pmol level for standard peptides.     

Comparative neuroprotective effects of native curcumin and its galactomannoside formulation in carbofuran-induced neurotoxicity model

Abstract

Toxicity of the pesticide carbofuran (CF) can be alleviated by curcumin, if not for its poor bioavailability. Hence, we investigated the effect of a bioavailable curcumin-galactomannan complex (CGM) on CF-induced neurotoxicity in rats in comparison to that of unformulated standard curcumin (CS). The CF (5?mg/kg b.wt/day) treatment for 90?days produced chronicity model which were treated with either CS or CGM (100?mg/kg b.wt and 250?mg/kg b.wt/day) for another 30?days. Improvement in CF-induced behaviour was evident in endurance, motor co-ordination and pain response on both CS (p?<?0.01) and CGM (p?<?0.001) supplementation. Amelioration of CF-induced toxicity parameters, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction on CS (p?<?0.01) and CGM (p?<?0.001) supplementation was further confirmed by histopathology of brain and liver tissues. But, CGM was more effective in mitigating CF toxicity, with results comparable to that of normal. Hence, CGM might be superior in toxicity management against CF.     

Wolff Rearrangement of 2-diazo-1(2H)-naphthalenone induced by nonresonant two-photon absorption of NIR radiation

The irradiation of 2-diazo-1(2H)-naphthalenone (1), the common component of positive photoresists, with 800 nm pulses of ultrafast laser results in Wolff rearrangement via nonresonant two-photon absorbance of light. The 10% conversion of starting material resulting in the formation of methyl 1H-indene-3-carboxylate (2) was achieved after 11 min of irradiation of the methanol solution of 1 with an unfocused beam of a Ti:Sapphire laser operating at 1 kHz. The two-photon cross-section of the diazonaphthoquinone 1 at 800 nm was calculated to be sigma = 2.2 x 10-51 cm4 s photon-1 (0.2 GM).     

Femtosecond laser time-of-flight mass spectrometry of labile molecular analytes: laser-desorbed nitro-aromatic molecules.

Femtosecond laser time-of-flight mass spectra of solid samples of trinitrobenzene (TNB), trinitrotoluene (TNT) and trinitrophenol (TNP) have been recorded. Desorption of the solid samples was enacted by the fourth harmonic output (266 nm) of a 5 ns Nd:YAG laser. Subsequent femtosecond post-ionisation of the plume of neutral molecules was achieved using 800 nm laser pulses of 80 fs duration. Mass spectra have been recorded for desorption laser intensities from 2-6 x 10(9) W cm(-2) with ionisation laser intensities between 2 x 10(14) and 6 x 10(15) W cm(-2). Femtosecond laser ionisation has been shown to be capable of generating precursor and characteristic high-mass fragment ions for labile nitro-aromatic molecules commonly used in high-explosive materials. This feature is critical in the future development of femtosecond laser-based analytical instruments that can be used for complex molecular identification and quantitative analysis of environmentally important labile molecules. Furthermore, a comparison of femtosecond post-ionisation mass spectra with standard 70 eV electron impact data has revealed similarities in the spectra and hence the fragmentation processes.     

Open-loop and closed-loop control of dissociative ionization of ethanol in intense laser fields

The relative yield of the C-O bond breaking with respect to the C-C bond breaking in ethanol cation C2H5OH+ is maximized in intense laser fields (10(13)-10(15) Wcm2) by open-loop and closed-loop optimization procedures. In the open-loop optimization, a train of intense laser pulses are synthesized so that the temporal separation between the first and last pulses becomes 800 fs, and the number and width of the pulses within a train are systematically varied. When the duration of 800 fs is filled with laser fields by increasing the number of pulses or by stretching all pulses in a triple pulse train, the relative yield of the C-O bond breaking becomes significantly large. In the closed-loop optimization using a self-learning algorithm, the four dispersion coefficients or the phases of 128 frequency components of an intense laser pulse are adopted as optimized parameters. From these optimization experiments it is revealed that the yield ratio of the C-O bond breaking is maximized as far as the total duration of the intense laser field reaches as long as approximately 1 ps and that the intermittent disappearance of the laser field within a pulse does not affect the relative yields of the bond breaking pathways.

Optical gain characteristics of C 460 and C 450

Dye concentration dependent gain spectra for Coumarin 460 (C 460) and Coumarin 450 (C 450) in ethanol have been studied using Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE) technique under Nitrogen laser (337.1 nm) excitation in the concentration range 10(-2)-10(-5) m/l. The dependence of lasing wavelength and peak gain on concentration have been understood in terms of variation of fluorescence lifetime, which is due to photo-physical processes such as radiation trapping and concentration-quenching. Pump intensity dependence of efficiency is also explained in terms of fluorescence lifetime. A comparison of the stability of the two dyes has also been made on the basis of the functional groups at different positions of the basic coumarin.     

Study on the Activity of Constrained Geometry Metallocenes

The activities of a several titanium-based constrained geometry metallocenes (CGM) have been examined with respect to their central-metal net charges. A simple method consisting of a combination of the molecular mechanics and the charge equilibration method was adopted here to determine the structure and the net charge. The results obtained indicate that the net charge on the central-metal of the CGM does dominate the activity. A new CGM, (2,6-dipropylphenylamide) dimethyl (tetramethylcyclopentadienyl) silane titanium dichloride, was synthesized and analyzed.

Novel heteroaromatic-based multi-branched dyes with enhanced two-photon absorption activity

The first examples of heterocycle-based multi-branched dyes with efficient two-photon absorption (TPA) activity are reported; the novel chromophores exhibit large TPA cross sections (as high as 1600 x 10(-50) cm4 s photon(-1) molecule(-1), measured with 150 fs laser pulses at 800 nm); a strong cooperative enhancement in the branched systems with respect to the one-dimensional sub-units is found.     

PEG-m-THPC-mediated photodynamic effects on normal rat tissues

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) of malignancies uses light to activate a photosensitizer preferentially accumulated in cancer cells. The first pegylated photosensitizer, tetrakis-(m-methoxypolyethylene glycol) derivative of 7,8-dihydro-5,10,15,20-tetrakis(3-hydroxyphenyl)-21-23-[H]-porphyrin (PEG-m-THPC), was evaluated in non-tumor-bearing rats. The aim of this study was to assess the photodynamic threshold for damage and its sequelae in normal rat tissue. Thirty-five Fischer rats were sensitized with 3, 9 or 30 mg/kg body weight PEG-m-THPC. Colon, vagina and perineum were irradiated with laser light of 652 nm wavelength and an optical dose of 50, 150 or 450 J/cm fiber length. Temperature in the pelvis was measured during PDT. Three days following PDT the effect on skin, vagina, colon, striated muscle, connective tissue, nerves and blood vessels was assessed by histology. The healing of the above-mentioned tissues was assessed on two rats 3 and 8 weeks after PDT using 9 mg/kg PEG-m-THPC activated with 450 J/cm laser light. No dark toxicity was observed. PDT using 30 mg/kg PEG-m-THPC induced severe necrosis irrespective of the optical dose. Body weight of 9 or 3 mg/kg activated with less than 450 J/cm induced moderate or no damage. No substantial increase in body temperature was seen during PDT. Tissues with severe PDT-induced damage seem to have a good tendency to regenerate. We conclude that within the dose required for tumor treatment PEG-m-THPC is a safe photosensitizer with promising properties. PDT of the colon mucosa below 9 mg/kg PEG-m-THPC and 150 J/cm seems to be safe. All other tissues can be exposed to 9 mg/kg PEG-m-THPC activated with less than 450 J/cm laser light with little side effects.     

A toner-mediated lithographic technology for rapid prototyping of glass microchannels

A simple, fast, and inexpensive masking technology without any photolithographic step to produce glass microchannels is proposed in this work. This innovative process is based on the use of toner layers as mask for wet chemical etching. The layouts were projected in graphic software and printed on wax paper using a laser printer. The toner layer was thermally transferred from the paper to cleaned glass surfaces (microscope slides) at 130 degrees C for 2 min. After thermal transference, the glass channel was etched using 25% (v/v) hydrofluoric acid (HF) solution. The toner mask was then removed by cotton soaked in acetonitrile. The etching rate was approximately 7.1 +/- 0.6 microm min(-1). This process is economically more attractive than conventional methods because it does not require any sophisticated instrumentation and it can be implemented in any chemical/biochemical laboratory. The glass channel was thermally bonded against a flat glass cover and its analytical feasibility was investigated using capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (C(4)D) and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection.

A New Method for Molecular Mechanics

A promising new method for optimizing molecular structures is described. In place of the terms involving bond angles and torsion angles, used in the force fields of conventional molecular mechanics, two-body central forces between atoms are used exclusively, resulting in a considerable computational advantage. The program STRFIT, using this method has been tested by comparing geometries obtained with those found using the popular molecular mechanics program MM2 (Allinger) for a variety of cyclic and acyclic molecules. For unstrained molecules, the difference in steric energy between geometries refined by STRFIT and MM2 is only a few tenths of a kilocalorie and up to about a kilocalorie for strained molecules. Geometry optimization with STRFIT, to a structure that is slightly higher in energy than the structure arrived at by MM2 starting from the same initial starting geometry, is three to eight times faster. A complete new package of programs for conveniently and rapidly doing molecular mechanics calculations is described. It includes a convenient algorithm for the input of approximate molecular structures, a rapid structure-optimizing module using a pure Central force-field approach, and a drawing program designed for use with a dot-matrix printer or a laser printer.     

Styryl conjugated coumarin caged alcohol: efficient photorelease by either one-photon long wavelength or two-photon NIR excitation

The synthesis and photorelease properties of a new phototrigger for alcohols are described. Compared to ester 4 caged by the reported [7-(diethylamino)coumarin-4-yl]methoxycarbonyl (DEACM) phototrigger, the caged ester 3 shows an efficient single-photon photolysis efficiency upon irradiation of long wavelength light (λ = 475 nm) and a stronger two-photon photolysis sensitivity with 800 nm laser light. Its promising properties and the efficient photorelease of adenosine make it very useful as a caging group for biological applications.

The photosensitizer has been proven to possess large two-photon absorption cross-section for 800 nm femtosecond laser. The sensitizer/coinitiator system has high photosensitivity for the photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate. This photopolymer system has been demonstrated for fabricating three-dimensional microstructure.
