Trinuclear Cu(Ⅱ) and Zn(Ⅱ) complexes bridged by μ_3-carbonato anion

The trinuclear Cu(Ⅱ) and Zn(Ⅱ) complexes [(CuTPA)_3(μ3-CO_3)] (ClO_4)_4(1) and [(ZnTPA)_3(μ_3-CO_3)] (ClO_4)_4 (2) (TPA=tri(pyridylmethyl) amine) have been synthesized. X-ray structure analysis of the two complexes proves that CO_3~(2-) anion has an unusual triply bridging ligand, bridging three CuTPA and ZnTPA units respectively, and assembles new trinuclear complexes. The CO_3_(2-) comes from atmospheric CO_2. The structure of each trinuclear unit consists of three copper or zinc atoms in a five-coordinate triangular bipyramidal environment. The [(CuTPA)_3 (μ_3-CO_3)] (ClO_4)_4 compound shows a very weak antiferromagnetic coupling.

Synthesis and characterization of μ-oxamido copper(Ⅱ)-iron(Ⅱ) heterobinuclear complexes with an antiferromagnetic exchange interaction

Four new u-oxamido heterobinuclear complexes have been synthesized and identified as [Cu(oxap)Fe(L)2]SO4, where oxap denotes the N, N'-bis(2-aminopropyl)oxamido dianion and L represents diaminoethane (en); 1,3-diaminopropane (pn); 1,2-diaminopropane (ap) and 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Me2-phen).

Preparation and application of a novel orotic acid chelating resin for removal of Cu(Ⅱ) in aqueous solutions

A novel chelating resin OABA,capable of removing Cu(Ⅱ) from aqueous solution,was synthesized via the reaction of macroporous chloromethylated PS-DVB copolymer beads with orotic acid.The elemental analysis(EA),Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR),and scanning electron microscopy microscope-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(SEM-EDS) were used in the characterization of the synthesized chelating resin.Multiple,static batch adsorption experiments were conducted at different initial concentrations and temperatures.OABA showed good adsorption capacity for Cu(Ⅱ) and the equilibrium data could be well matched with the Freundlich isotherm model.Coexisting sodium chloride and calcium chloride in solutions favored the Cu(Ⅱ) adsorption.Moreover,the desorption process of Cu(Ⅱ) was tested and over 90%regeneration efficiency for the spent OABA was achieved at ammonia concentrations ranging from 1.0%to 2.0%.The results suggested that OABA would be a potential alternative adsorbent for Cu(Ⅱ),even with other heavy metal ion treatments of wastewater.

The MT vs. T plot exhibits a minimum at about 100 K, characteristic of this kind of coupled polymetallic complex with an irregular spin-state structure.     

The specific detection of Cu(Ⅱ) using an AIE-active alanine ester

Cu(Ⅱ) detection is important because it plays crucial role in several biological processes and ecological systems.Fluorescent techniques have attracted more and more attention in Cu(Ⅱ) detection.In this report,we contribute a novel strategy to use fluorescence spectroscopy for Cu(Ⅱ) specific detection.The specificity relies on the fact that,of the many metal cations,only Cu(Ⅱ) can catalyze the hydrolyzation of a-amino acid ester.The novelty originates from the unique aggregation-induced emission(AIE) property of the fluorescent label.We designed a model a-amino acid ester(TPE-Ala) constructed with alanine and tetraphenylethene-functionalized methanol(TPE-methanol).In comparison with the precursor TPE-Ala, TPE-methanol has lower solubility and is easy to form aggregates in water,thereby displaying a higher fluorescent response.Thus,the Cu(Ⅱ) catalyzed hydrolyzation can be monitored by recording the fluorescence enhancement and fluorescent detection Cu(Ⅱ) is rationally achieved.     

Speciation of Co(II), Co(III), and Cu(II) in ethylenediamine solutions by capillary electrophoresis

A capillary electrophoretic (CE) method for the speciation of Co(II), Co(III), and Cu(II) in electroless copper-plating baths containing ethylenediamine (En) has been developed. The method is based on the selective pre-capillary derivatization of Co(II) with 1,10-phenanthroline (Phen) followed by CE separation of stable [CoPhen(3)](2+), [CoEn(3)](3+), and [CuEn(2)](2+) chelates. The proposed derivatization procedure protects Co(II) from oxidation by dissolved oxygen and enables rapid determination of all three metal species within a single run. The optimized separations were carried out in a fused silica capillary (57 cmx75-microm I.D.) filled with an ethylenediamine sulfate electrolyte (20 mmol L(-1) H(2)SO(4), pH 7.0 with En, applied voltage +30 kV) using direct UV detection at 214 nm. The detection limits for a signal-to-noise ratio of 3 and 10 s, hydrodynamic injections were 5x10(-6) mol L(-1) for Cu(II), 1x10(-6) mol L(-1) for Co(III), and 4x10(-7) mol L(-1) for Co(II). Application of the method to the speciation of Co(II), Co(III), and Cu(II) in copper-plating bath samples is also demonstrated.     

Aptamer-based label-free method for hemin recognition and DNA assay by capillary electrophoresis with chemiluminescence detection

An aptamer-based label-free approach to hemin recognition and DNA assay using capillary electrophoresis with chemiluminescence detection is introduced here. Two guanine-rich DNA aptamers were used as the recognition element and target DNA, respectively. In the presence of potassium ions, the two aptamers folded into the G-quartet structures, binding hemin with high specificity and affinity. Based on the G-quartet–hemin interactions, the ligand molecule was specifically recognized with a K _d ≈ 73 nM, and the target DNA could be detected at 0.1 μM. In phosphate buffer of pH 11.0, hemin catalyzed the H₂O₂-mediated oxidation of luminol to generate strong chemiluminescence signal; thus the target molecule itself served as an indicator for the molecule–aptamer interaction, which made the labeling and/or modification of aptamers or target molecules unnecessary. This label-free method for molecular recognition and DNA detection is therefore simple, easy, and effective. Figure A label-free approach to aptamer-based hemin recognition and DNA detection is introduced, which gives great potential for using a small molecule itself as the indicator for molecular recognition and DNA detection thereby avoiding any labeling or modification step     

Determination of levodopa by capillary electrophoresis with chemiluminescence detection

A rapid and simple method using capillary electrophoresis (CE) with chemiluminescence (CL) detection was developed for the determination of levodopa. This method was based on enhance effect of levodopa on the CL reaction between luminol and potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) (K₃[Fe(CN)₆]) in alkaline aqueous solution. CL detection employed a lab-built reaction flow cell and a photon counter. The optimized conditions for the CL detection were 1.0 × 10⁻⁵ M luminol added to the CE running buffer and 5.0 × 10⁻⁵ M K₃[Fe(CN)₆] in 0.6 M NaOH solution introduced postcolumn. Under the optimal conditions, a linear range from 5.0 × 10⁻⁸ to 2.5 × 10⁻⁶ M (r = 9991), and a detection limit of 2.0 × 10⁻⁸ M (signal/noise = 3) for levodopa were achieved. The precision (R.S.D.) on peak area (at 5.0 × 10⁻⁷ M of levodopa, n = 11) was 4.1%. The applicability of the method for the analysis of pharmaceutical and human plasma samples was examined.     

Detection of paracetamol by capillary electrophoresis with chemiluminescence detection

Indirect detection of paracetamol was accomplished using a capillary electrophoresis-chemiluminescence (CE-CL) detection system, which was based on its inhibitory effect on a luminol-potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) (K₃[Fe(CN)₆]) CL reaction. Paracetamol migrated in the separation capillary, where it mixed with luminol included in the running buffer. The separation capillary outlet was inserted into the reaction capillary to reach the detection window. A four-way plexiglass joint held the separation capillary and the reaction capillary in place. K₃[Fe(CN)₆] solution was siphoned into a tee and flowed down to the detection window. CL was observed at the tip of the separation capillary outlet. The CL reaction of K₃[Fe(CN)₆] oxidized luminol was employed to provide the high and constant background. Since paracetamol inhibits the CL reaction, an inverted paracetamol peak can be detected, and the degree of CL suppression is proportional to the paracetamol concentration. Maximum CL signal was observed with an electrophoretic buffer of 30 mM sodium borate (pH 9.4) containing 0.5 mM luminol and an oxidizer solution of 0.8 mM K₃[Fe(CN)₆] in 100 mM NaOH solution. Under the optimal conditions, a linear range from 6.6 × 10⁻¹⁰ to 6.6 × 10⁻⁸ M (r = 0.9999), and a detection limit of 5.6 × 10⁻¹⁰ M (signal-to-noise ratio = 3) for paracetamol were achieved. The relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) of the peak area for 5.0 × 10⁻⁹ M of paracetamol (n = 11) was 2.9%. The applicability of the method for the analysis of pharmaceutical and biological samples was examined.     

Highly sensitive chemiluminescence detection of copper(II) in capillary electrophoresis with field-amplified sample injection

Field-amplified sample injection of copper(II) was investigated using capillary electrophoresis with chemiluminescence detection. The sensitivity of copper(II) has been improved markedly by the field-amplified sample injection technique and the detection limit reaches 2 x 10(-11) M. By injection of a short plug of water before sample introduction, the sensitivity can be further improved 5-fold and the detection limit reaches 4 x 10(-12) M. The relative standard deviations (n = 6) of the migration time and the peak height are 0.61% and 4.7% at 1.0 x 10(-9) M Cu(II), respectively. Parameters affecting the field-amplified sample injection, such as separation voltage and concentration of electrophoretic buffer, have been investigated.     

Ultrasensitive chemiluminescence detection of aM vanadium(IV) by capillary electrophoresis

Ultrasensitive chemiluminescence (CL) detection of aM vanadium(IV) in capillary electrophoresis (CE) is first reported. In this work, inclusion of the luminol in the electrophoretic carrier electrolyte avoids the loss of light signal that occurs when luminol and hydrogen peroxide are mixed in advance, as in the conventional method in CE-CL detection. The detection limit (S/N ratio=3) for V(IV) is 2.4×10⁻¹⁷ M (24 aM), which has been improved by a factor of 10⁴ as compared with that of the most sensitive metal ion detection (Co²⁺ 0.5 pM) reported previously. In addition, the separation of V(IV) and V(V) has been performed successfully.     

On-capillary chemiluminescence detection for capillary electrophoresis with a single capillary.

On-capillary chemiluminescence detection for capillary electrophoresis with a single capillary was reported. A hole (about 30 microm diameter) was made on the capillary wall at about 50.5 cm from the inlet end. Hydrogen peroxide solution could enter the capillary from the hole, and mixed with luminol and copper(II) to produce chemiluminescence. The chemiluminescence was detected by a PMT under the hole. Several factors that influenced chemiluminescence intensity were investigated. The detection limits for luminol and N-(4-aminolbutyl)-N-ethylisoluminol (ABEI) were 1 x 10(-11) and 2 x 10(-10) mol L(-1), respectively. The method features simple construction and no dead volume.     

Separation and detection of angiotensin peptides by Cu(II) complexation and capillary electrophoresis with UV and electrochemical detection

The use of capillary electrophoresis (CE) with on-capillary Cu(II) complexation for the determination of angiotensin and its metabolites is described. The resulting copper-peptide complexes can be detected using either UV or electrochemical (EC) detection. Optimal reaction and separation conditions for the angiotensin peptides were first determined using CE with UV detection. With UV detection, the limit of detection (signal-to noise ratio S/N = 3) for native angiotensin II was 18 microM, while the limit of detection (LOD) obtained for the copper-angiotensin II complex is 2 microM. CE with EC detection was then evaluated, yielding significantly lower LODs--2 microM for native angiotensin II and 200 nM for the copper-angiotensin II complex. The addition of copper to the run buffer improved the separation and sensitivity for both CE-UV and CE-EC detection. The method was demonstrated by monitoring the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II in plasma via angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and subsequent inhibition of ACE by captopril.     

A novel injection method for high-speed proteome analysis by capillary electrophoresis

We have developed a new sample injection method for capillary electrophoresis (CE) that reduces the required migration time. We demonstrated a pressurization technique that was performed with buffer in the outlet after the electrokinetic sample injection with no buffer in the outlet. To reduce the migration time, the sample injection had to be performed with no buffer in the outlet; water should be pressurized while the buffer is in the outlet. Though the resolution was slightly decreased using this method, the addition of a separation carrier (curdlan) to the run buffer restored the resolution without delaying the migration time. The use of our new sample injection method combined with our high-quality separation carrier will enable us to improve the efficiency of the high-throughput screening (HTS) system for proteome analysis.
