Nanoporous PtRu Alloys with Unique Catalytic Activity toward Hydrolytic Dehydrogenation of Ammonia Borane

Nanoporous (NP) PtRu alloys with three different bimetallic components were straightforwardly fabricated by dealloying PtRuAl ternary alloys in hydrochloric acid. Selective etching of aluminum from source alloys generates bicontinuous network nanostructures with uniform size and structure. The as‐made NP‐PtRu alloys exhibit superior catalytic activity toward the hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane (AB) than pure NP‐Pt and NP‐Ru owing to alloying platinum with ruthenium. The NP‐Pt₇₀Ru₃₀ alloy exhibits much higher specific activity toward hydrolytic dehydrogenation of AB than NP‐Pt₃₀Ru₇₀ and NP‐Pt₅₀Ru₅₀. The hydrolysis activation energy of NP‐Pt₇₀Ru₃₀ was estimated to be about 38.9 kJ mol^?1, which was lower than most of the reported activation energy values in the literature. In addition, recycling tests show that the NP‐Pt₇₀Ru₃₀ is still highly active in the hydrolysis of AB even after five runs, which indicates that NP‐PtRu alloy accompanied by the network nanoarchitecture is beneficial to improve structural stability toward the dehydrogenation of AB.     

Solid Polymer Electrolytes Studied by NMR Spectroscopy and DFT Calculations

Summary: Results obtained recently on polymer electrolytes poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)/LiCF₃SO₃ and poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (POZ)/AgCF₃SO₃ by a combination of solid-state ¹³C and ¹H NMR spectroscopy and DFT quantum-chemical calculations are discussed. Essentially the same local structure was found for the amorphous and crystalline phases of semicrystalline PEO/LiCF₃SO₃ polymer electrolyte. The amorphous POZ/AgCF₃SO₃ complex has a defined stoichiometry with two POZ monomeric units per one AgCF₃SO₃. A close contact between the metal salt and polymer was determined for both investigated systems from the Lee-Goldburg cross-polarization ¹H → ¹³C dynamics.

低浓度甲醛对多肽和蛋白化学修饰的质谱研究

采用基质辅助激光解析电离飞行时间质谱( MALDI-TOF MS)和纳升电喷雾四极杆飞行时间串联质谱( Nano-ESI -QTOF MS)技术,以标准肽段和流感病毒基质蛋白酶切肽段为模型,研究了甲醛对蛋白质和多肽主链的修饰作用。采用与实际病毒灭活过程一致的实验条件(4℃,0.025%(V/V)福尔马林(37%(w/w)甲醛溶液)处理72 h),进行甲醛与多肽的化学反应。结果表明,在实验条件下,甲醛能与标准肽段N端的氨基反应生成羟甲基加合物,再发生缩合反应生成亚胺,形成+12 Da的产物。此外,甲醛还能与标准肽段中的精氨酸、赖氨酸的侧链发生反应,生成+12 Da的反应产物。对流感病毒基质蛋白的酶切肽段与甲醛的反应的质谱分析结果显示,多数的肽段都生成了+24 Da的产物,质量的增加来源于肽段N端氨基(+12 Da)和C端精氨酸或赖氨酸的侧链(+12 Da)的贡献。此外,还观察到有一个漏切位点的肽段生成了+36 Da的产物。本研究结果表明,在实验条件下,低浓度甲醛主要与肽段和蛋白的N 端氨基,以及精氨酸和赖氨酸侧链发生反应。本研究为分析低浓度甲醛与蛋白质的反应产物提供了有效的质谱分析方法和解谱依据。

Conformation and Biological Activity of Cyclic Peptides

Cyclic peptides containing biologically active hormone sequences are suitable models for studying conformation-activity relationships. In such models the usual flexibility of peptide chains is reduced by their cyclic arrangement. However, conformational analysis of such systems by experimental means is possible only if a single conformer predominates at equilibrium, and criteria for this are put forward. NMR spectroscopic methods, including many recent advances, are discussed in relation to their ability to contribute to peptide conformational analysis.     

Exploring Glycosylated Soy Isoflavones Affinities toward G-tetrads as Studied by Survival Yield Method

Taking soy-based food supplements for menopausal symptoms by women may reduce the risk of cancer. Therefore, the interaction between nucleic acids (or their constituents) and ingredients of the supplements, e. g., isoflavone glucosides, on the molecular level, has been of interest with respect to cancer therapy. In this work, the interaction between isoflavone glucosides and G-tetrads, namely [4G+Na]⁺ ions (G stands for guanosine or deoxyguanosine), were analyzed by using electrospray ionization-collision induced dissociation-mass spectrometry (ESI-CID-MS) and survival yields method. The strength of isoflavone glucosides-[4G+Na]⁺ interaction in the gas phase was determined from E_com50 – the energy required to fragment 50 % of selected precursor ions. Glycitin-[4G+Na]⁺ interaction was found to be the strongest, and the interaction between isoflavone glucosides and guanosine tetrad was established to be stronger than that between isoflavone glucosides and deoxyguanosine tetrad.

Hydrogen-induced Sulfur Vacancies on the MoS2 Basal Plane Studied by Ambient Pressure XPS and DFT Calculations

Sulfur vacancy on an MoS₂ basal plane plays a crucial role in device performance and catalytic activity; thus, an understanding of the electronic states of sulfur vacancies is still an important issue. We investigate the electronic states on an MoS₂ basal plane by ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS) and density functional theory calculations while heating the system in hydrogen. The AP-XPS results show a decrease in the intensity ratio of S 2p to Mo 3d, indicating that sulfur vacancies are formed. Furthermore, low-energy components are observed in Mo 3d and S 2p spectra. To understand the changes in the electronic states induced by sulfur vacancy formation at the atomic scale, we calculate the core-level binding energies for the model vacancy surfaces. The calculated shifts for Mo 3d and S 2p with the formation of sulfur vacancy are consistent with the experimentally observed binding energy shifts. Mulliken charge analysis indicates that this is caused by an increase in the electronic density associated with the Mo and S atoms around the sulfur vacancy as compared to the pristine surface. The present investigation provides a guideline for sulfur vacancy engineering.     

A Photosensitive Liquid Crystal Studied by 14N NMR, 2H NMR,and DFT Calculations

An azobenzene derivative, namely diheptylazobenzene, showing the nematic and smectic A liquid crystalline phases, was investigated by means of a combined approach based on NMR and DFT calculations. ¹⁴N NMR quadrupole‐ and chemical‐shift‐perturbed spectra were acquired in the whole mesophasic range, providing both experimental quadrupolar splittings and chemical shift anisotropy values. On the same mesogen, deuterium labelled at the α‐position of the hydrocarbon chain, ²H NMR quadrupole‐perturbed spectra were recorded. The analysis of these NMR data was performed with the help of ab initio calculations, in vacuo and by taking into account the effect of the anisotropic environment typical of liquid crystals, by using the IEF‐PCM model. The geometry optimizations of the azomesogen in the trans and cis configurations were performed by DFT calculations employing the combination of B3LYP functional with the 6‐311G(d) basis set. The analysis of experimental NMR data was performed by considering the trans configuration as the most populated one and the corresponding quadrupolar tensors and chemical shielding tensors were determined at the DFT level of theory. The main result of this work is the determination of a relatively high and temperature‐dependent molecular biaxiality of the trans state of this azomesogen.
