<正> The principle and method for the calculation of chemical shifts of substituted benzenes have been extended to calculation of the cheiiical shifts in substituted pyridines. We have set up a series of empirical parameters for calculation of the chemical shifts. The calculated results of 154 δ values frou 54 compounds show that the standard deviation between the calculated and the experimental values is 0 . 09 ppm. The combination of the coupling constants can be used to provide a criterion for the determination of molecular structure in substituted pyridines and to assign NMR parameters for the experiment of proton simulated spectra of substituted pyridines.

Molecular Simulations using Spherical Harmonics

Computer-aided drug design is to develop a chemical that binds to a target macromolecule known to play a key role in a disease state. In recognition of ligands by their protein receptors, molecular surfaces are often used because they represent the in-teracting part of molecules and they should reflex the comple-mentarity between ligand and receptor. However, assessing the surface complementarity by searching all relative position of two surfaces is often computationally expensive. The comple-mentarity of lobe-hole is very important in protein-ligand inter-actions. Spherical harmonic models based on expansions of spherical harmonic functions were used as a f‘mgerprint to ap-proximate the binding cavity and the ligand, respectively. This defines a new way to identify the complementarity between lobes and holes. The advantage of this method is that two spherical harmonic surfaces to be compared can be defined sep-arately. This method can be used as a filter to eliminate candi-dates among a large number of conformations, and it will speed up the docking procedure. Therefore, it is possible to select complementary ligands or complementary conformations of a ligand and the macromolecules, by comparing their fingerprints previously stored in a database.     

A theoretical form of the Martin-Hou equation of state

A new equation of state is derived from the Barker-Henderson hard-sphere perturbation theory. It has the form similar to the Martin-Hou equation of state. The numerical values of the characteristic constants in the equation can be calculated by the method of Martin and Hou. The equation can be used to predict P-V-T properties accurately for fluids when the critical parameters (T_c, P_c and V_c) and one point on the vapor pressure cure are given. By using the functional relationships between the characteristic constants and the microscopic parameters, the molecular microscopic parameters of the substance can be obtained.     

Advancing from unimechanism polymerization to multimechanism polymerization: binary polymerization

Polymerizations with multiple mechanisms performed simultaneously are promising but very challenging. As the key limitation,the complicated mutual influence between different mechanisms can be hardly defined and measured. Herein we establish a universal framework for the assessment of mutual influence between different mechanisms using binary polymerization for demonstration. The kinetics and thermodynamics of polymerization with two mechanisms are compared with the corresponding homopolymerization and the difference is expressed by a hybrid function. The hybrid function is composed of a hybrid parameter that describes the extent of mutual influence and a function that describes necessary conditions for mutual influence to occur. The extent of mutual influence can be calculated using kinetic and thermodynamic data without details of reaction mechanisms, for the first time providing a straightforward method to assess the mutual influence between different polymerization mechanisms.We envision that the method has potential in more complex systems with multiple mechanisms/monomers with mutual influence.     

Dielectric study on membrane adsorption and release: Relaxation mechanism and diffusion dynamics

Dielectric monitoring of the adsorption or release process of salicylic acid (SA) by chitosan membrane shows that the dielectric spectra of the chitosan membrane/ SA solution systems change regularly in the adsorption or release process. By analyzing the regularity, a new mechanism for the relaxations is proposed. The concentration polarization layer (CPL) caused by SA adsorption or release is confirmed to be essential for the dielectric relaxations. The changes of the spectra with time are explained by account of the relationship between CPL properties and dielectric strength. Based on this relaxation mechanism, a theoretical method can be established to calculate dynamical parameters of inner structure of the adsorption or release systems from their dielectric spectra. Therefore, dielectric spec- troscopy is demonstrated to be a promising method for estimating interfacial distribution of ionic sub- stances and their binding to membrane in a non-invasive way.     

三聚氰胺-甲醛加成反应的研究

The addition reaction between melamine and formaldehyde involves the conversion of melamine into nine different methylol melamines.The reaction mechanism of the complex system can be summarized in a simple reaction model as below:(这里有图片19890824-878-1.gif)The rate equations of above reactions are evaluated by using Runge-Kutta method, and the rate constants are determined by means of fitting them to reaction species concentrations at various times.The molecular distribution formula of methylol derivatives of polyamine, which we developed previously, is used to form simultaneous equations with reaction rate equations and the contents of various meth-ylol-melamine are calculated.The results are good in agreement with the experiment data.     

Resolution method for overlapping peaks based on the fractional-order differential

Equations between the differential order and the maximum of the fractional-order differential for the specified peak signals are developed based on the variation of the maximum of the specified peak signals at different orders. Also, equations between the differential order and the zero-crossing of the fractional-order differential of the specified peak signals are proposed according to the variation of the zero-crossing of the specified peak signals at different orders. Characteristic paramters of the Gaus- sian peak, Lorentzian peak, and Tsallis peak can be estimated using estimator I and estimator II which are obtained by the equations above. As a result, a new method is presented to resolve the overlapped peaks signal. Firstly, a fractional-order differential of the specified peak signals is obtained with the fractional-order differentiation filter. Then, characteristic paramters of the specified peak signals can be extracted using estimator I and estimator II. Finally, the Tsallis peak is used as a model to assign the overlapping peak signals correctly. Experimental results show that the proposed method is efficient and effective for the simulated overlapping peaks and detected overlapping voltammetric peak signals.     

Prominently Promoting the Formation of Poly(butylene adipate) α-Form Crystals by Coalescing from Inclusion Complex

We successfully use a co-precipitation method to prepare inclusion complex between poly(butylene adipate)(PBA) chains(guest component) and urea molecules(host component). The PBA/urea inclusion complex is confirmed to adopt a hexagonal crystal modification with lattice parameters of a = 8.14 ? and c = 10.92 ?, and the interaction between PBA chains and urea is van der Waals force. The singly isolated PBA chains are suggested to take some gauche conformation, which is different from the all-trans conformation in β-form PBA. Furthermore, we employ the isolated PBA chains which are uniformly pre-established in a specific conformation in urea channels to regulate the crystal form of PBA for the first time. After removing the host urea molecules, the coalesced PBA chains are found to solely crystallize into α-form crystals at different coalescing temperatures. By comparing the FTIR spectra, it is found that PBA chains in inclusion complex plausibly contain some similar conformers as those in α-form crystal, which is suggested to be the intrinsic reason for the sole formation of α-form crystals. This research proves that inclusion complex can be used as a very effective method to regulate polymorphism of semi-crystalline polymers.     

A chemometric method to identify selective ion for resolution of overlapping gas chromatography-mass spectrometry signal

A chemometric method to determine selective ion by using non-negative immune algorithm (NNIA) was proposed. In the method, the mutual projections of the chromatographic profiles at different m/z channel are calculated using NNIA. Suppose a GC-MS data with m retention time points and n mass channels, the projections of the GC-MS data onto a chromatographic profile at a mass channel will form a mass spectrum of 1 n vector. If the chromatographic profile at a selective mass channel is used, the extracted mass spectrum will be a correct one. Therefore, by comparing the extracted mass spectrum with a reference spectrum, the selective ion can be identified, and the corresponding chromatographic profile can be obtained at the same time. GC-MS data of 40-pesticide mixture was investigated by the method. The results show that both the mass spectral and the chromatographic information of the interested components can be extracted from the overlapping signals, except for the special cases of isomeric components with very similar mass spectra.     

ZEROING ANISOTROPY SPECTROFLUOROMETRY

A new method of zeroing anisotropy spectrofluorometry has beendeveloped.When a mixture of two components is determined by anisotropyspectrofluorimetric method,and the excitation wavelength is selected at theintersection points of the apparent excitation spectra corresponding to Ⅱ andIn for the component A,then its anisotropy values are zero,and the measuredanisotropy values can thus be used for the determination of the component B &vice versa.This method had been used for the simultaneous determination of abinary mixture of rhodamine B and pyronine G,and the determination ofrhodamine B in a ternary mixture of rhodamine 6G,rhodamine S and rhodamine Busing the common intersection points ofand Ⅰ_excitation spectra ofrhodamine 6G and rhodamine S as the excitation wavelength.The results arequite satisfactory.     

Theoretical study on S_1(~1B_(3u)) state electronic structure and absorption spectrum of pyrazine

Making use of a set of quantum chemistry methods, the harmonic potential surfaces of the ground state (S0(1Ag)) and the first (S1(1B3u)) excited state of pyrazine are investigated, and the electronic structures of the two states are characterized. In the present study, the conventional quantum mechanical method, taking account of the Born-Oppenheimer adiabatic approximation, is adopted to simulate the absorp-tion spectrum of S1(1B3u) state of pyrazine. The assignment of main vibronic transitions is made for S1(1B3u) state. It is found that the spectral profile is mainly described by the Franck-Condon progression of totally symmetric mode ν6a. For the five totally symmetric modes, the present calculations show that the frequency differences between the ground and the S1(1B3u) state are small. Therefore the displaced harmonic oscillator approximation along with Franck-Condon transition is used to simulate S1(1B3u) absorption spectra. The distortion effect due to the so-called quadratic coupling is demonstrated to be unimportant for the absorption spectrum, except the coupling mode ν10a. The calculated S1(1B3u) ab-sorption spectrum is in reasonable agreement with the experimental spectra.

Dicyciopentyl azodicarboxylate is introduced as a new azo-reagent which can be conveniently prepared in two steps and be used in the Mitsunobu reaction.Though there are no distinct difference of reactivity between DCpAD and DEAD,the former is a more preferable azo-reagent for its stability.     

Theoretical Studies on the First Hyperpolarizabilities of One-dimensional Donor-bridge-acceptor Chromophores and New Applications of BLA in Determining Molecular First Hyperpolarizabilities

We present a quantum-chemical analysis of the relationship between the bond length alteration （BLA） and the static first hyperpolarizability of a series of one-dimensional （1D） chromophores with donor-bridge-acceptor （D-B-A） structures. The calculated results show that the parameter BLA can be considered as an indicator to evaluate the molecular first hyper- polarizability. Along the direction of molecular ground-state dipole moments, the evolutions of BLA can be classified into three categories： the first is a non-monotonic line, which represents most chromophores; the second is monotonic increasing; and the third, contrarily, is monotonic decreasing. On the whole, the first hyperpolarizabilities of these studied chromophores are the monotonic functions of BLA along the direction of dipole moments. Therefore, the first hyperpolarizability of these 1D chromophores can be preliminarily evaluated in terms of the development of BLA without a rigorous computation. In other words, one can roughly estimate the relative magnitude of the first hyperpolarizability according to the optimized geometry.     

Sequence and modified group analysis on C-terminal modified analogs of endomorphin-2 using electrospray ionization-Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer

In this paper, a series of C-terminal modified analogs of endomorphin-2 is investigated using ESI-FT-ICR-MS. Some b, y″, a, and internal ions are found in the CID spectra and slight mass differ- ences between the calculated and observed results are obtained. Moreover, if the C-terminal modified group is t-butyloxy, it can lose butene through McLafferty rearrangement. FT-ICR MS shows its power in peptide sequencing successfully helping us obtain the structure of peptide analogs.     

3d-RADIAL WAVE FUNCTION AND ITS APPLICATION (Ⅰ)——Semi-Empirical Radial Wave Function and Spectra for Free Cations of The First Transition Series

THE double-ζ function form of radial wave function is discussed,and the semi-empirical double-ζ radial wave functions of 3d-orbitsfor the free divalent and trivalent cations of the first transi-tion series are suggested.The overlap integrals between thesewave functions and the corresponding Hartree-Fock results ofWatson are greater than 0.99.The deviation for Racah para-meters and spin-orbit coupling constant calculated from the ex-perimental fitting results is,in general,less than 6%.It istherefore likely that for free ions the spectra calculated bymeans of radial wave functions are expected to be in agreementwith the experimental results.     

TSC STUDIES ON SUB-Tg STORAGE OF POLYETHYLENE TEREPHTHALATE

The Thermally Stimulated Current (TSC) spectra of a series of Sub-T_θannealed polyethylene terephthalate (PET) specimens have been measured. It is found that there is only one peak at 80℃above room temperature, which related to the thermo-relaxation of frozen-in dipoles. The activation energy of such dipole motion has been calculated. The relation between the maximum current and the storage time can be explained by the free volume theory and agrees with the results from the excess thermodynamic properties. Compared with Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) and tensile stress-strain method, TSC is a simpler and more sensitive method in studying Sub-T_θannealed polymers.
