Synthesis and magnetic properties of poly(p‐phthaloyl‐disacetylaceton‐ethylenediimine) metal complexes

Macrocyclic Schiff‐base ligand, bisacetylaceton‐ethylenediimine (BAE) and its transition metal complexes M(BAE) (M = Cu²⁺, Ni²⁺) were synthesized. The complexes having characteristics of aromatic systems and well‐defined one‐dimensional structures, reacted with p‐phthaloyl chloride, to obtain polymer complexes. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, inductively coupled plasma (ICP), FT‐IR, and thermal analysis and show good thermal stability. ESR spectra analysis discovered that there are free radicals in the chain of polymers, indicating that a weak magnetic spin‐exchange interaction operates between the metal ions and free radicals. It is found that, as the bridging p‐phthaloyl group is able to propagate the magnetic exchange interaction, the polymer complexes show paramagnetic properties by measurement of temperature dependence of the magnetic property, and obey Curie–Weiss law.

Aggregate, Polymer and Cluster Formation from Metal-Imino Carboxylate Complexes

Reaction of tris-(2-aminoethyl)amine (tren) andthe sodium salt of an -ketocarboxylic acid, typically sodium pyruvate, affordsin the presence of a lanthanide ion aseries of complexes and aggregates includingmononuclear, cyclic tetranuclear and polymerspecies of [L¹]^3- ([L¹]^3-=N[CH₂CH₂N=C(CH₃)COO^-]³).The aggregation of these and related d-block elementcomplexes with Na⁺ ions leadsto the formation of polymeric materials, and thefactors influencing the formation and controlof these various aggregation states are discussed.Metal cations also template the aggregationof the fragment [Ni(L²)] ([L²]^2- =CH₂[CH₂N = C(CH₃)COO^-]₂)to give, in high yield, the polynuclearaggregates {[Ni(L²)]₆M}^x+(M = Nd, Pr, Ce, La, x = 3; M = Sr, Ba, x = 2). The structures of{[Ni(L²)]₆M}^x+ show aninterstitial twelve co-ordinate, icosahedralcation M^x+ encapsulated by six [Ni(L²)]fragments. In the presence ofNa⁺, aggregation of [Ni(L²)] fragments affords {[Ni(L²)]₉Na₄(H₂O)(MeOH)(ClO₄)}³⁺ thestructure of whichshows four Na⁺ ions templating the formation ofa distorted tricapped trigonal prismatic[Ni(L²)]₉ cage. Thus, control overconstruction of various polynuclear cages viaself-assembly at octahedral junctions can beachieved using main group, transition metaland lanthanide ion templates.     

Lattice locations determination of trace amount carbon in gallium arsenide by theoretical calculation of CPAA with channeling

Combining the Charged Particle Activation Analysis (CPAA) and the Channeling Technique, the partial concentrations of the impurity carbon atoms in different crystal lattice locations of GaAs were claculated. The calculated results show that at lower total concentrations (0.3 ppm), carbon atoms occupy principally the octahedral and displaced octahedral interstitial positions, but at higher total concentrations (2 ppm), the substitutional carbon plays a principal role.     

ESR studies of γ-irradiated histone octamer and the histone H3

ESR spectrum of neat histone H3 γ-irradiated and observed at 77 K with low microwave power and modulation amplitude showed multiple resolved structure depicting nonequivalent interaction of the unpaired electron located at amido-carbonyl radical anion [– )NH–] of the peptide backbone with adjacent –NH– group and the β-proton of –CH group. The predominance of amido-carbonyl radical anion is in good accord with the expected partition of secondary electrons amongst the various electrophilic groups including peptide carbonyl and aromatic acid residues. Following a gradual rise of annealing temperature to room temperature, a double splitting spectrum from the well known -carbon amido radical was evolved.     

K-Mo基催化剂的表面酸性与其合成醇选择性

对500℃和800℃焙烧制得的氧化态K－MoO3／γ－AlO3，K－MoO3／SiO2及非负载K－Mo催化剂进行硫化后，测试其合成醇活性．结果表明500℃焙烧制得的负载型催化剂显示较高的合成低碳烃活性和较低的合成低磷醇选择性，经800℃焙烧后，合成低磷醇的选择性大幅度提高．500℃焙烧的非负载K－Mo催化剂显示较高的合成醇选择性，经800℃焙烧后，促碳醇的选择性保持不变．用氨的吸附及TPD方法测定了各样品的酸性，并与催化剂活性对照，发现催化剂酸性越强，酸量越大，则其合成醇选择性越低．催化剂上的乙醇分解实验证实，催化剂的酸量大小与它的醇分解活性成正变关系，这些结果说明催化剂酸性对其合成醇性能有直接的影响．     

钴(Ⅱ)-5-取代邻菲罗啉-α-氨基酸三元配合物的稳定性研究

本文在25.0±0.1℃,I=0.1mol·dm^-3KNO₃存在下,采用pH法测得了5-取代邻菲罗啉的质子化常数以及钴(Ⅱ)与5-取代邻菲罗啉、α-氨基酸的二元、三元配合物的稳定常数。结果表明三元配合物的稳定性与5-取代邻菲罗啉的质子化常数、取代基常数均存在直线自由能关系。并用三元配合物稳定性的表征值logK_M、△logK,讨论了三元配合物的稳定性,发现钴(Ⅱ)与配体5-取代邻菲罗啉之间也存在着d-p反馈π键。该π健的强度对三元配合物稳定性有着显著影响。     

One-electron oxidation of the iron(II) complex of 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-quinone A pulse radiolysis study

One-electron oxidation of the ferrous tris-PQ complex, a model for lipoxygenase, was attempted using oxidants such as •OH, N^•₃, Br^•-₂, Tl²⁺ and TlOH⁺. •OH was found to react with the complex with a bimolecular rate constant of (3.9±0.6)x10⁹dm³mol^-1s^-1, a rate which is not very dissimilar to that for the reaction with the ligand PQ. However the product of the reaction was found to be a OH-adduct rather than a cation radical. No reaction was found to occur with N^•₃ or Br^•-₂. Both Tl²⁺ and TlOH⁺ reacted with the complex to form its oxidised species with rate constants of (7.0±1)x10⁸dm³mol^-1s^-1 and (4.0±0.8)x10⁸dm³mol^-1s^-1, respectively. From a comparison of the rate constants and the transient spectra it was concluded that the centre of oxidation is the ligand rather than the metal.     

Biosorption of copper(II) and zinc(II) from aqueous solution by Pseudomonas putida CZ1

To study Pseudomonas putida CZ1, having high tolerance to copper and zinc on the removal of toxic metals from aqueous solutions, the biosorption of Cu(II) and Zn(II) by living and nonliving P. putida CZ1 were studied as functions of reaction time, initial pH of the solution and metal concentration. It was found that the optimum pH for Zn(II) removal by living and nonliving cells was 5.0, while it was 5.0 and 4.5, respectively, for Cu(II) removal. At the optimal conditions, metal ion biosorption was increased as the initial metal concentration increased. The adsorption data with respect to both metals provide an excellent fit to the Langmuir isotherm. The binding capacity of living cells is significantly higher than that of nonliving cells at tested conditions. It demonstrated that about 40-50% of the metals were actively taken up by P. putida CZ1, with the remainder being passively bound to the bacterium. Moreover, desorption efficiency of Cu(II) and Zn(II) by living cells was 72.5 and 45.6% under 0.1M HCl and it was 95.3 and 83.8% by nonliving cells, respectively. It may be due to Cu(II) and Zn(II) uptake by the living cells enhanced by intracellular accumulation.

The grain-boundary-related optical and electrical properties in polycrystalline p-type ZnO films

Cathodoluminescence spectra and electrical properties of the N doped and N–Al codoped p-type ZnO films and the dependence of these two properties on the post-annealing were investigated. Spectral analyses show that the intensity of the green emission strongly depends on the annealing ambient and closely relates with the width of the electron depletion region at the particle boundary. The conducting type and electrical properties of N doped and N–Al codoped ZnO films are greatly affected by the annealing process. The grain boundary effect was proposed to explain the green emission behavior and the p-type conduction in polycrystalline ZnO based films.
