Solvent effect on K to Na ion mutation: a Monte Carlo simulation study

Monte Carlo simulation studies of statistical perturbation theory (SPT) have been carried out to investigate the solvent effects on the relative free energies of solvation and the difference in partition coefficients (log P) for K⁺ to Na⁺ ion mutation in the several solvents. We compared the relative free energies for interconversion of K⁺ to Na⁺, in H₂O (TIP4P) in this study with those published works, that in H₂O (TIP4P) is −16.55 kcal/mol in this study, those of the published works are −17.6, −17.3 and −17.31 kcal/mol and that of the experiment is −17.6 kcal/mol, respectively. Comparing the relative free energies for interconversion of K⁺ to Na⁺, in CH₃OH in this study with those published works, that in CH₃OH is −18.08±0.28 kcal/mol in this study, that of molecular dynamic simulation is −19.6±0.4 kcal/mol and that of the experimental work is −17.3 kcal/mol, respectively. There is good agreement among the several studies if we consider both methods of obtaining the solvation (or hydration) free energies and the standard deviations. For the present K⁺ and Na⁺ ions, the relative free energies of solvation vs Born's function of solvents are decreased with increasing Born's function of solvent except for CH₃OH, THF and MEOME. There is also good agreement between the calculated structural properties in this study and the computer simulation, ab initio and experimental works.     

About the TATB assumption: effect of charge reversal on transfer of large spherical ions from aqueous to non-aqueous solvents and on their interfacial behaviour

We present a molecular dynamics study of the solvation properties of large spherical ions S⁺ and S⁻ of same size, in water, chloroform and acetonitrile solutions, and at a water–chloroform interface. According to the “extrathermodynamic” TATB hypothesis, such ions have identical free energies of transfer from water to any solvent. We find that this is not the case, because S⁻ interacts better than S⁺ with water (by about 20 kcal mol⁻¹), while S⁺ is better solvated by acetonitrile (by about 2 kcal mol⁻¹) and chloroform (about 8 kcal mol⁻¹) solvents. The importance of “long-range” electrostatic interactions on the charge discrimination by solvent is demonstrated by the comparison of standard vs corrected methods to calculate: (i) the electrostatic potential at the centre of the solute; (ii) the interaction energies between the ions and the solvents; and (iii) the free energies of charging the neutral sphere S⁰ to S⁺ and S⁻, respectively. These conclusions are obtained with several solvent models and simulation conditions. The question of ion pairing for the S⁺S⁻, S⁺Cl⁻ and S⁻Na⁺ pairs is also examined in the three solvents. Finally, simulations at a liquid–liquid water–chloroform interface represented explicitly, show that S⁺ and S⁻ are highly surface active, although they do not possess, like classical surfactants, an amphiphilic topology. Adsorption at the interface is found with different methodologies and at different ion concentrations. These results are important in the context of the “TATB hypothesis”, and for our understanding of solvation of large hydrophobic ions in pure liquids or in heterogeneous liquid environments.     

La~(3+)掺杂NiCo层状双金属氢氧化物纳米片的合成及其电化学性能

稀土离子La~(3+)掺杂的NiCo层状双金属氢氧化物纳米片具有高的超级电容器性能,比容量达到1115 F/g(1A/g)、倍率性能为517 F/g(30 A/g)。研究表明,La~(3+)离子掺杂不改变NiCo层状双金属氢氧化物晶体结构,但会显著影响其电子和离子传导特性,从而改变其电化学性能。根据离子电负性标度,La~(3+)(1.327)和Co~(2+)(1.377)离子的电负性值最接近,掺杂La~(3+)会优先取代Co~(2+)离子位置。由于La~(3+)离子的尺寸作用(106 pm),使得最优掺杂比例较小仅为0.26%,电化学结果表明较少的La~(3+)掺杂比例依然会显著调节NiCo层状双金属氢氧化物的电子/离子输运性质。

电解质在混合溶剂中的活度系数及溶剂化数的研究——KClO4-CH3OH-非电解质体系

本文测定了KClO₄在甲醇-苯,甲醇-甲苯,甲醇-四氯化碳及甲醇-环己烷四个混合溶剂中的溶解度。使用A.D'Aprano[4]和C.W.Davies[2],报告的KClO₄及KNO₃在甲醇中的缔合常数,计算得“自由离子”浓度。盐的介质效应活度系数f_MX以S_o/S_m或S_o±、D_m±的表示值趋近相等,与非电解质的摩尔分数X₍Ne的关系符合经验公式:1gf_MX=kX_Ne,这里S_o和S_m分别是盐在甲醇和混合溶剂中的溶解度;脚注(±)标识“自由离子”;k为常数。电解质的溶剂化数公式:n₊+n_-=-21gf_MX/1gφ_ρ,对KClO₄在这些混合溶剂中的情况并不适用,这里n₊+n_-是正、负离子溶剂化数之和;φ_p是甲醇在混合溶剂中的体积分数。这个结果表明ClO₄^-的溶剂化层不是完全由甲醇分子所形成,非电解质也影响着ClO₄^-在这些溶剂中的溶剂化层。KNO₃的实验数据,溶解度公式和溶剂化数公式是引自李芝芬、黄子卿、刘瑞麟以前的论文。

Single-ion solvation free energies and the normal hydrogen electrode potential in methanol, acetonitrile, and dimethyl sulfoxide

The division of thermodynamic solvation free energies of electrolytes into contributions from individual ionic constituents is conventionally accomplished by using the single-ion solvation free energy of one reference ion, conventionally the proton, to set the single-ion scales. Thus, the determination of the free energy of solvation of the proton in various solvents is a fundamental issue of central importance in solution chemistry. In the present article, relative solvation free energies of ions and ion-solvent clusters in methanol, acetonitrile, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) have been determined using a combination of experimental and theoretical gas-phase free energies of formation, solution-phase reduction potentials and acid dissociation constants, and gas-phase clustering free energies. Applying the cluster pair approximation to differences between these relative solvation free energies leads to values of -263.5, -260.2, and -273.3 kcal/mol for the absolute solvation free energy of the proton in methanol, acetonitrile, and DMSO, respectively. The final absolute proton solvation free energies are used to assign absolute values for the normal hydrogen electrode potential and the solvation free energies of other single ions in the solvents mentioned above.

Influence of La3+ on the Phase Behavior and the Pluidity of Phospholipid Bilayers

The influence of La³⁺ on the phase behavior and the fluidity of the negatively charged phospholipid dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol(DPPG) bilayers was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and FT-Raman spectroscopy. La³⁺, induced a phase separation of DPPG bilayers, and formed three peaks. La³⁺ increased the phase transition temperature of the new peaks, broadened the half width of the DSC signal, and stabilized a gel phase relative to a crystalline phase of DPPG bilayers. La³⁺ was shown to increase interchain order and intermolecular ordering of the lipid lattice, and decreased the fluidity of DPPG bilayers.

Optical spectra of Yb and Yb–Nd interaction in Cs2NaNd0,4Yb0,6Cl6

Interaction between octahedrally coordinated Nd³⁺ and Yd³⁺ in Cs₂NaNd_0,4Yb_0,6Cl₆ reduces the Nd³⁺ luminescence lifetime by roughly two orders of magnitude with respect to that found in Cs₂NaNdCl_{6– · –} Analysis of low temperature absorption and emission spectra reveals that the nonradiative Nd³⁺–Yb³⁺ energy transfer has to be assisted by lattice phonon emission, nevertheless the rate of the transfer is high in the 4–300 K temperature region and attains 5.8×10⁵s^-1 at room temperature. A phase transition of Cs₂NaNd_0,4Yb_0,6Cl₆ between 12 and 13 K is evidenced by abrupt change of both the spectra and lifetimes of Yb³⁺. Reduction of Yb³⁺ lifetime from 5.3 ms to 150 μs is at the transition from low symmetry phase to high symmetry phase is supposed to be associated with a three ion interaction which occurs in ordered lattice and disappears in low temperature disordered structure.     

Effect of La on heat production by mitochondria isolated from hybrid rice

The effect of lanthanum on mitochondria isolated from hybrid rice Fengyou 559 (Oryza sativa L.) was investigated. Through in vivo culture, low-dose La³⁺ promoted, but higher dose La³⁺, restrained mitochondrial heat production. However, through in vitro incubation, La³⁺ manifested only inhibitory action on mitochondrial energy turnover, the concentration required for 50% and 100% inhibition being 50.9 and 230.2 μM (57.6 nmol/mg protein), respectively. In addition, La³⁺, like Ca²⁺, induced rice mitochondrial swelling and decreased membrane potential (Δψ), which was inhibited by the specific permeability transition inhibitor cyclosporine A (CsA). The induction approached a constant limitation while mitochondrial metabolism was completely prevented by La³⁺, and microscopy observation showed a high disruption of inner mitochondrial membrane in this state. These results demonstrated that lanthanum influenced rice mitochondria in vivo and in vitro via different action pathways, and the latter involved the opening of rice mitochondrial permeability.     

Highly efficient blue up-conversion of Tm in Nd–Yb–Tm co-doped ZrF4-based fluoride glass

Up-conversion luminescence and energy-transfer processes in Nd³⁺, Yb³⁺ and Tm³⁺ co-doped ZrF₄-based fluoride glasses have been studied under 800 nm light excitation. Blue up-converted emission around 478 nm which can be assigned to the Tm³⁺:¹G₄→³H₆ transition, was strongly observed. Up-conversion luminescence intensity exhibited an YbF₃-concentration dependence. Among the Nd³⁺, Yb³⁺ and Tm³⁺, Nd³⁺ and Tm³⁺ have ground state absorption bands due to the (²H_9/2,⁴F_5/2)←⁴I_9/2 and ³F₄←³H₆ transitions, respectively, which can be directly pumped by 800 nm radiation. However, no emissions were observed in Tm³⁺ singly-doped and Tm³⁺–Yb³⁺ doubly-doped glasses under 800 nm excitation. Therefore, a possible up-conversion mechanism may be proposed as follows: energy-transfer firstly occurs from Nd³⁺ to Yb³⁺ when Nd³⁺ is excited by 800 nm light, then the energy is transferred from Yb³⁺ to Tm³⁺ which is in the excited state and, finally, blue up-conversion emission of Tm³⁺ is observed through the Tm³⁺:¹G₄→³H₆ transition.

Cation-π effects in the complexation of Na+ and K+ with Phe, Tyr, and Trp in the gas phase

Na⁺ and K⁺ gas-phase affinities of the three aromatic amino acids Phe, Tyr, and Trp were measured by the kinetic method. Na⁺ binds these amino acids much more strongly than K⁺, and for both metal ions the binding strength was found to follow the order Phe ≤ Tyr < Trp. Quantum chemical calculations by density functional theory (DFT) gave the same qualitative ordering, but suggested a somewhat larger Phe/Trp increment. These results are in acceptable agreement with predictions based on the binding of Na⁺ and K⁺ to the side chain model molecules benzene, phenol, and indole, and are also in reasonable agreement with the predictions from purely electrostatic calculations of the side-chain binding effects. The binding energies were compared with those to the aliphatic amino acids glycine and alanine. Binding to the aromatic amino acids was found to be stronger both experimentally and computationally, but the DFT calculations indicate substantially larger increments relative to alanine than shown by the experiments. Possible reasons for this difference are discussed. The metal ion binding energies show the same trends as the proton affinities.     

Macrocycle-mediated separation of Eu from trivalent lanthanide cations in a modified thin-sheet-supported liquid membrane system

Macrocycle-mediated transport of Eu³⁺ and Eu²⁺ from an aqueous solution through a modified thin-sheet-supported liquid membrane has been studied and compared with that of Sr²⁺, Gd³⁺ and Nd³⁺. Transport of Eu²⁺ was found to be more effective than that of trivalent lanthanide cations using bis (1-hydroxylheptyl)DC18C6 as the membrane carrier. The flux of Eu²⁺ was similar to that of Sr²⁺ while those of Eu³⁺, Gd³⁺ and Nd³⁺ were almost identical and much less than that of Sr²⁺.
