THE UNIFORMITY OF DISTRIBUTION OF SUBSTITUENTS ALONG THE CHAIN OF CARBOXYMETHYL CELLULOSE SYNTHESIZED IN TWO-PHASE MEDIUM C6H66——C2H5OH

 Based on the property that carboxymethylcellulose (CMC ) can be de-graded to anhydroglucose residues by cellulase, the rate constant (K) of enzymatic degra-dation of CMC synthesized in the benzene-ethanol medium has been determined. Further-morel experimental equation K = 2.71× 10^-2(DS)^-1.2 reflecting the relationship betweenK and the degree of substitution (DS) is correlated and used to describe chemical mi-crostructure uniformity of the distribution of substituents along chains effectively. Chain structure parameters of enzymatic degradation products of CMC — the number of chain breaks and the percentage of glucose released have been also measured.Average length of substituted and unsubstituted chain segments are calculated simultaneously.Through the study of static and dynamic procedures of enzymatic degradation,the method to characterize the distribution of substituents of CMC along the chain has been improved.     

STUDY ON THE CHARACTERIZATION OF DISTRIBUTION OF SUBSTITUENTS ALONG THE CHAINOF CARBOXYMETHYL CELLULOSE

Four new paranmeters, and , and have been proposed to describe the average length of the sequence of substituted anhydroglucose units and that of unsubstituted ones respectively along the CMC chain. The methods for determining those parameters have also been presented . Six CMC samples have been characterized in terms of intrinsic viscosity, degree of substitution (DS), index of substitution(SI)_ and . It has been proved experimentally that, not only can describe the sequence distribution along the CMC chain, but also can be used for calculating SI and estimating the average degree of substitution in the substituted glucose rings.     

THE CHAIN STRUCTURE OF 1,2-POLYBUTADIENES PREPARED WITH MOLYBDENUM CATALYST SYSTEMS

The chain structure of 1,2-polybutadienes prepared with molybdenum catalyst systems has been studied by IR, ~(13)C-NMR and T_g method, and the method to regulate the chain structure investigated. It was found that some polar additives, e. g., allyl halides, are able to regulate not only the content of 1,2-units in the polymer, but also its configuration and sequence distribution. Attempt has been made to estimate the sequence length of stereo-isomers of 1,2-units by statistical theory.     

STEADY-STATE AND TIME-RESOLVED FLUORESCENCE STUDY OF TRIPLE EXCIPLEX IN THE SYSTEM OF POLYACENAPHTHALENE AND TEREPHTHALIC DIMETHYLESTER

Triple exciplex formed between polyacenaphthalene and terephthalic dimethylester (TDE) has been studied by means of the steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectra. The theoretical model of the triple exciplex formation for a flexible polymer chain in a dilute solution has been proposed. The fluorescence decays of the monomer, the exciplex and the triple exciplex obey a double exponential rule in the pbotophysical processes of the triple exciplex formation. The association rate constant of the exciplex formation is k_3=6.0×10~9s~(-1)(mol/L)~(-1); the association rate constant of the triple exciplex formation is k_6=5.2×10~7s~(-1). A mechanism for the triple exciplex formation from the exciplex to the triple exciplex has been proved through the noncrystal films corresponding to the same concentrations of the solution systems and the fluorescence lifetimes of the intramolecular excimer.     

THE CALCULATION OF NUCLEAR SPIN-SPIN COUPLING CONSTANTS Ⅷ. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE COUPLING CONSTANTS OF SUBSTITUTED ETHYLENES AND THE ELECTRONEGATIVITIES OF SUBSTITUENTS

<正> A new quantitative relationship between the coupling constants 3JH-H of substituted ethylenes and the electronegativities Ex of the substi-tuents has been proposed. It can thus be conveniently used to estimate the values of 3JH-H of substituted ethylenes, thereby identifying the type of substituents and determining the molecular configuration of disubstituted ethylenes. It is shown from the calculations of 664 3J values carried out for 414 compounds that the standard deviation between the calculated and the experimental values is 0.26 Hz.In addition, it also provides a new method for determining the electronegativities of functional groups.The electrone-gativity data of 98 substituents determined so far suffice to indicate that most of them agree fairly well with Pauling's or revised Pauling's electrone-gativity data of a atoms in the substituents.     

THE COURSE OF THE POLYPEPTIDE CHAIN OF TRICHOSANTHIN MOLECULE

The course of the polypeptide chain of Trichosanthin has been determined from the electron density map at 4 resolution. The structure belongs to α+β type. It contains eight α-helices (39% of total residues) and four β-sheets (32% of total residues) which are made up of thirteen β-strands. The α-helices are relatively in the centre of the molecule and surrounded by β-sheets. This is the characteristic feature of Trichosanthin structure. This kind of structural arrangement has not been reported before. The transformation matrix and translation vector, which superpose two molecules in one asymmetric unit, were obtained. The root mean square error is 1.31 for this superposition.     

SEQUENCE STRUCTURE OF ETHYLENE-VINYL SUBSTITUTED COPOLYMER WITH ~(13)C NMR IV——CHLORINATED POLYETHYLENE

The substituent chemical shift (SCS) has been applied to the assignment of the ~(13)C NMRspectrum of chlorinated polyethylene (CPE). CPE of different chlorine contents has been em-ployed and their sequence structure discussed. The results show that characteristic of CPEwith medium chlorine content is the dichloroethane structure in molecular chain. SCS param-etets have been obtained from the ~(13)C NMR spectra. It was found that the effects of chlorinecontent and temperature on SCS are negligible, but the substituent parameter S_1 reduced by0.39 ppm when C_2Cl_4 was added to solvent ODCB.     

A SPIN LABELING STUDY OF PIG CARDIAC TROPOMYOSIN

Tropomyosin (TM) extracted from pig cardiac muscle was spin-labeled with 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-(dichlorotriazin)-aminopiperidine-1-oxyl. The ESR spectra of the product (SL-TM) were of a type of weak immobilization. Effects of three means for the denaturation were observed on the above spectra. The ESR spectrum obtained for SL-TMafter enzymatic degradation was found to be analogous to that for the label itself in a dilute solution and thereby the quantity of labels bound in SL-TM estimated. The Arrhenius plots attained through variable temperature measurement for SL-TM's exhibited two inflexion points (the conformational transition temperatures for TM) around 45℃ and 74-75℃, the latter temperature having not been reported in literature so far. However, the enzymatic degradation product from SL-TM behaved quite differently from it in the response to microwave power saturation and temperature variation.     

MOLECULAR CHAIN STRUCTURE OF DOPED POLYANILINE

The chain structure of polyaniline doped with HCl or CF_3COOH has been investigated by FTIR, solid state ~(13)CNMR, resonance laser Raman and UV-VIS spectroscopies. The results show that during the protonic acid doping, a partial redox reaction takes place between the quinone-diimine and benzene-diamine units and it leads to a long conjugate system with a certain charge distribution.     

CRYSTAL AND MOLECULAR STRUCTURE OF IPOHARDINE PICRATE, C_(15)H_(16)NO·C_6H_2N_3O_7

<正> INTRODUCTION. Ipomoea Hardwickii Hemsl (Ⅰ) belongs to Convolvulaceae, and its seed may be used as an anodyne. Ipoharine and Ipohardine were obtained by Reinickate method from the aqueous solution of Ⅰ. The structure of the title compound has been determined by X-ray crystal structure analysis.

THE RELATION OF SEQUENCE DISTRIBUTIONS OF S-SBR TO ITS MOLECULAR WEIGHT DISTRIBUTIONS

The relationship between sequence distributions and molecular weight distributions of S-SBR, obtained from styrene and butadiene anionic copolymerization at various conversions with THF/Li~+ as an initiator has been studied by ~(13)C-NMR,GPC. The results showed that the molecular weight distributions of the copolymer couldbe correlated sophisticatedly to the binary sequcne distributions or the monomer unit distributions of the copolymer in a corrected Poisson's distribution from.     

THE DISTRIBUTION OF P ELEMENTS IN D. melanogaster ALONG THE COAST OF CHINA STUDIED BY DNA HYBRIDIZATION METHOD

The distribution of the P-M system in four local Drosophila melanogaster populations obtained insouthern China has been examined by mating tests. There was no P strain. A HindⅢfragnment ofthe P element has been cloned, named as pPH 0.86, and used as probe in this study. The distribu-tion of the P element itself in thirteen local D. melanogaster populations along the eastern coast ofChina has been studied by the method of DNA hybridization. It is found that all the populations ob-tained from the north of Shanghai carry P elements but few populations from the south of Shanghai carry Pelements. In comparison with the mating test, the method of DNA hybridization is more direct andreliable.The origin and trends of distribution of P elements in China are discussed in this paper.     

LOW-TEMPERATURE HEAT CAPACITY AND THERMODYNAMIC FUNCTIONS OF 2-CHLORO-6-(TRICHLOROMETHYL)PYRIDINE

The heat capacity of 2- chloro- 6- (trichloromethyl)pyridine has heen measured with anadiabatic calorimeter in the range from 13 to 316K. There is no indication of any phasetransition or thermal anomaly in this temperature region for the present compound. Theresults have been compared with those reported in [1] in the overlapping temperaturerange. The experimental heat capacity data have been fitted to a smoothed curve by the aidof the effective frequency distribution method, and the heat capacities below 13K have beenobtained by extrapolating the fitting curve down to 0K. The standard molar thermodynamicfunctions between 0 and 400 K have been derived by combining the present heat capacitymeasurements with the previous ones. The values of C_p~o (T), S~o(T) - S~o(0), [H~o(T) -H~o(0)]/T, and - [G~o(T) - H~o(0)]/T at T = 298.15 K are 189.35, 244.60, 112 .45 and 132.15J·K~(-1)·mol~(-1), respectively.     

SULFONATION OF A NEW POLYETHERETHERKETONE PREPARED FROM PHENOLPHTHALEIN

A novel polyetheretherketone (PEK-C) prepared from phenolphthalein has been synthesized. In order to improve some of its properties for application in high performance membrane, the PEK-C has been sulfonated with concentrated sulfuric acid. Degree of sulfonation can be regulated by controlling the temmperature and time of sulfonation. The characterization of the sulfonated PEK-C in sodium salt form has been made by IR, ~1H NMR and ~(13)C NMR etc. It is shown that the sulfonation appears to take place exclusively in the ortho position to phenolic ether of phenolphthalein unit. The result is in agreement with theoretical deduction. Some properties of the sulfonated PEK-C, such as solubility, transition temperature, thermal degradation and hydrophilicity have also been discussed.     

Theoretical study on the Co~(2+)OH_2/Co~(3+)OH_2 electron transfer reactivity

This paper presents a contact distance dependence analysis scheme and an ab initio calculation application for the electron transfer (ET) reactivity of Co2+OH2/Co3+OH2 reacting pair. The applicability of these schemes and the corresponding models has been discussed. The contact distance (Rcoco) dependence of the relevant quantities has been analyzed. The results indicate that the activation energy from the accurate PES method agrees well with that from the anharmonic potential method, and they are obviously better than that from the harmonic potential method. The pair distribution function varies from 10~(-2) to 10~(-5) along with Rcoco changing from 1.20 to 0.35 nm. The coupling matrix element exponentially decays along with the increase of Rcoco, and the effective electronic coupling requires Rcoco smaller than 0.75 nm. In the range from 0.50 to 0.75 nm for Rcoco, the corresponding electronic transmission coefficient falls within 1.0-10~(-6). The local ET rate also exponentially decays along with the incre     

ASSIGNMENT OF ~(13)C NMR SPECTRA OF POLYMER WITH SEMIEMPIRICAL METHOD——SURVEY OF SPECTRUM OF SECONDARY CARBON OF 1, 2-PBD

In chain molecules of 1, 2-PBD, there are two kinds of gauche arrangements, which is the cause of making the spectrum of the secondary carbon in main chain of the polymer split. In such a complex system, the gauche arrangements of the secondary carbon and the tertiary carbon occupy an important position. Hence, the contribution of the tertiary carbon to the chemical shifts of the secondary carbon has a decisive effect on the sequence structure distribution. In comparison the contribution of vinyl groups is much less. The γ values are: γ_1=-6.37～-6.41 ppm represents the effect of the tertiary carbon and γ_2=0.0～-1.56 ppm the contribution of vinyl. The mean square errors are 0.364 and 0.166×10~(-2) ppm~2, respectively in the two cases of considering the effect of vinyl and vice versa. In this paper, we discuss the effects of model chain type, chain length and temperature on the bond probability. Meanwhile, it is pointed out that there exist a few cases, which are not in accord with the usual distrib     

THE CORRELATION BETWEEN ~(13)C CHEMICAL SHIFTS OF DNA AND INTERSTRAND PURINE-PURINE CLASH

The correlation between ~(13)C chemical shifts of DNA and structure parameters (the mainaxis helix twist angle Ω, base--plane roll angle ρ, main chain torsion angle δ and pro-peller twist angle ω) has been discovered and proved indirectly. The carbons relating tothe structure parameters have been found and interpreted theoretically. Relative variationsin chemical shifts of these carbons obviously reflect purine-purine clash (steric hindrance)and have been compared with sum functions Σ of Calladine--Dickerson rules. It would bepossible to provide the information about conformation of DNA from ~(13)C NMR spectra andto observe the structure parameters of Ω,ρ,δ and ω of DNA in solution.     

TEMPERATURE DEPENDENCE OF THE FLUORESCENCE SPECTRA OF LADDERLIKE POLYPHENYLSILSESQUIOXANE AND LADDERLIKE 1,4-PHENYLENE-BRIDGED POLYVINYLSILOXANE

Fluorescence spectra of ladderlike polyphenylsilsesquioxane (LPPS) and ladderlike 1,4-phenylene-bridgedpolyvinylsiloxane (LPPVS) have been measured as a function of temperature (4-55℃), in dilute tetrahydrofuran solution.The excimer (I_E) to monomer (I_M) intensity ratio (I_E/I_M) of LPPS dilute solution shows a double linear Arrhenius plot with abreak point ascribable to a transition temperature T_t This behavior has not been found for single chain polyorganosiloxanes.When InI_E of LPPS was plotted against I/T it also gave a double linear plot with one break point, which was found in singlechain polyorganosiloxanes. The different behaviors between LPPS and single chain polyorganosiloxanes may be mainlyattributed to the relatively rigid double-chain macromolecular backbone of LPPS. However, the In(I_E/I_M) of dilute LPPVSsolution versus I/T shows a simple linear variation with a positive slope which confirms our proposition. The differencebetween the fluorescence results of LPPS and those of LPPVS may possibly derive from their structure differences andcooperative motion in backbone chain bonds.     

STUDIES ON THE MECHANISM OF INDIRUBIN ACTION IN THE TREATMENT OF CHRONIC GRANULOCYTIC LEUKEMIA——V.BINDING BETWEEN INDIRUBIN AND DNA AND IDENTIFICATION OF THE TYPE OF BINDING

The binding between indirubin and calf thymus DNA in vitro has been verified by meansof the isotope labelling method, spectrophotometric method and thermal denaturation meas-urements. The λ_max 207 nm of indirubin shifted toward longer wave length with decrease ofabsorbance after the incubation of indirubin with DNA. The escalation of Tm value of DNAinduced by indirubin was about 2.4°C and it was reproducible. The binding force between themwas rather weak, as indirubin molecules were easily released during the precipitation withalcohol or the gel filtration. The binding was not affected by sodium chloride even at high con-centration but greatly decreased (to 20-30% of the control) in the presence of 8 M urea.These results showed that the binding between indirubin and DNA might be of hydrogen bondrather than ionic. The amount of bound ~3H-indirubin was directly proportional to the con-centration of indirubin. However, it increased abruptly when the concentration of indirubinreached 1.5×10~(-4) M. This     

Synthesis, structure, and conductivity of molecular conductor (PyEt)[Ni(dmit)_2]_2

A new electrical conductive crystal PyEt[Ni(dmit)2]2 (dmit=4,5-dimercapto-1,3-dithiole-2-thione) has been synthesized and its X-ray structure has been determined to be in monoclinic system, C2/c space group. In PyEt[Ni(dmit)2]2 crystal, the conducting component [Ni(dmit)2]0.5- is face-to-face packed forming molecular column along the c-direction, and these molecular columns are then side-by-side extended along the a-direction forming a kind of two-dimensional conducting sheet on (010). The measured conductivity at room temperature along a certain direction on (010) plane is 10 S .cm-1. From 282 to 269 K, the crystal shows metallic behavior but changes to semiconductor below 269 K. Based on the measured crystal structure and calculated band structure, this conductor-semiconductor phase transformation can be primarily interpreted: The metallic conductivity is corresponding to the uniform molecular column and the atomic-lattice-chain structure of Ni chain, while the semi-conductive behavior to staggered mo
