Determination of Ultratrace Amounts of Copper(Ⅱ) in Water Samples by Electrothermal Atomic Absorption Spectrometry After Cloud Point Extraction

A novel approach was developed for the determination of ultratrace amounts of copper in water samples by using electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) after cloud point extraction (CPE). 1-( 2-Pyridylazo)-2-naphthol was used as the chelating reagent and Triton X-114 as the micellar-forming surfactant. CPE was conducted in a pH 8.0 medium at 40 ℃ for 10 min. After the separation of the phases by centrifugation, the surfactant-rich phase was diluted with 1 mL of a methanol solution of 0. 1 mol/L HNO3. Then 20 μL of the diluted surfactant-rich phase was injected into the graphite furnace for atomization in the absence of any matrix modifier. Various experimental conditions that affect the extraction and atomization processes were optimized. A detection limit of 5 ng/L was obtained after preconcentration. The linear dynamic range of the copper mass concentration was found to be 0-2.0ng/mL, and the relative standard deviation was found to be less than 3.1% for a sample containing 1.0 ng/mL Cu(Ⅱ). This developed method was successfully applied to the determination of ultratrace amounts of Cu in drinking water, tap water, and seawater samples.     

Comparative analysis of blue‐shifted hydrogen bond versus conventional hydrogen bond in methyl radical complexes

Methyl radical complexes H₃C…HCN and H₃C…HNC have been investigated at the UMP2(full)/aug‐cc‐pVTZ level to elucidate the nature of hydrogen bonds. To better understand the intermolecular H‐bond interactions, topological analysis of electron density at bond critical points (BCP) is executed using Bader's atoms‐in‐molecules (AIM) theory. Natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis has also been performed to study the orbital interactions and change of hybridization. Theoretical calculations show that there is no essential difference between the blue‐shift H‐bond and the conventional one. In H₃C…HNC complex, rehybridization is responsible for shortening of the N? H bond. The hyperconjugative interaction between the single electron of the methyl radical and N? H antibonding orbital is up to 7.0 kcal/mol, exceeding 3.0 kcal/mol, the upper limit of hyperconjugative n(Y)→σ*(X–H) interaction to form the blue‐shifted H‐bond according to Alabugin's theory. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Molecular Dynamics Simulation of the Self-assembled Monolayers of 1-Adamantanethiolate and Its Derivatives on Au（111） Surfaces

The self-assembled monolayers （SAMs） of 1-adamantanethiolate and its derivatives on Au（111） surface were investigated. Density functional theory （DFT） calculation indicates that the most stable configuration for absorption is at the face centered cubic （fcc）-bridge site. Canonical ensemble molecular dynamics （MD） simulations were carried out to study the structures and energies of the SAMs. The ordered structures of the SAMs were analyzed by means of radial distribution function and the relative stability of the SAMs was compared. It was concluded by the comparison of various contributions to the SAM formation energy that the formation of the SAMs was determined by the intermolecular nonbonding interaction and the chemical bonding interaction of sulfur and gold.     

呋喃西林水溶液在光和热作用下的稳定性

The influence of both light and heat on the stability of nitrofurazone aqueous solution was studied. Results show that in either heating experiments or the exposure to light at high temperatures, the degradation rate obeyed zero-order kinetics. The total rate constant ktotal caused by both light and heat can be divided into two parts: ktotal =kdark klight, where kdark and klight are the degradation rate constants caused by heat and light, respectively. The klight can be expressed as klight=Alight*exp(-Ea,light/RT)*E, where E is the illuminance of light, and Alight and Ea,light both are experimental constants. The values of these kinetic parameters were determined based on the experiments in the dark and upon exposure to three different light sources. Results show that the values of Alight and Ea, light varied with the light source. To save time, labor, and drugs, exponential heating experiments were employed and compared with the isothermal experiments. Results indicated that kinetic parameters obtained by exponential heating experiments are comparable to those obtained by isothermal experiments either in the dark or upon exposure to light.     

A General, Highly Efficient Ullmann C-O Coupling Reaction under Microwave Irradiation and the Effects of Water

A general, rapid and highly efficient method for the synthesis of diaryl ethers under the assistance of microwave irradiation was described. A series of diaryl ethers were prepared by direct coupling of phenols and aryl halides in good to excellent yields in anhydrous DMF or NMP at 150 ℃ within 20 rain. The presence of water was found to have a significant impact on the Ullmann C-O coupling reaction between aryl halides and phenols under microwave irradiation.     

Synthesis of a Polymer-bound Sensitizer and its Application in the Photoisomerization of trans-Vitamin D_3 to cis-Vitamin D_3

Recently the cis/trans isomerization of vitamin D analogs (Scheme 1) draws attention because of its importance in the synthesis of hydroxylated vitamin D metabolites6. However, o…     

Synthesis of Covalently-Linked Linear Donor-Acceptor Copolymers Containing Porphyrins and Oligothiophenes

5,15-Di-bithienyl porphyrin (1) and its Cu(Ⅱ), Zn (Ⅱ) complexes (2 and 3)[1] were polymerized according to Scheme 1 by chemical oxidation using FeCl3 as oxidant for making organic conductor, and the linear porphyrin-thiophene copolymers were obtained. The structures of the copolymers were identified by elemental analysis and IR spectra. The conductivity of poly 5,15-di-bithienyl porphyrin (4) doped with FeCl3 was measured to reach over 10-6 S/cm, which was in the range of semiconductor and higher than that of other porphyrin-thiophene copolymers prepared by Shimidzu. The higher conductivity may be due to the better conjugation between the thienyl group and the porphyrin ring. The thienylporphyrins 7 and 8 could not be polymerized under the similar conditions, but could be polymerized by electrochemical oxidation (working electrode: gold-plate electrode; counter electrode: platinum; reference: standard calomel electrode SEC; solvent: 0.1 mol·dm-3 n-Bu4NClO4 in dry MeCN).
