The interaction of the ethyl xanthate (EX) anion with a copper electrode in a borate buffer solution, pH 9.2, has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and measurements of contact angle (CA) under controlled potential. The results obtained allow establishing that, in the potential range from -0.80 and -0.60 V, two parallel reactions were characterized. These reactions were the ethyl xanthate electroadsorption and the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). This last reaction has not been described by previous authors. Besides, the EIS measurements show that the mechanism of the HER on copper electrodes is not affected by the presence of a ethyl xanthate species. The EQCM study shows that in the electrodesorption process the departure of each ethyl xanthate species from the copper electrode is accompanied with the simultaneous entry of four to five water molecules. This fact is in accordance with the number of copper atoms involved in the adsorption of one ethyl xanthate species. 相似文献
A new one-step facile method for the synthesis of 1,12,3,4-tetrahydro5H-5-oxo-1,4-benzo-diuzepines is described. The method involves the addition of methyl anlhranilates to elhyl-enimine followed by intramolecular cyclizalion of the resulting intermediate compounds. Another attempted method starting from β-anilinoethylisocyanales is also described. 相似文献
The selectivity and sensitivity of two colorimetric sensors based on the ruthenium complexes N719 [bis(2,2'-bipyridyl-4,4'-dicarboxylate)ruthenium(II) bis(tetrabutylammonium) bis(thiocyanate)] and N749 [(2,2':6',2' '-terpyridine-4,4',4' '-tricarboxylate)ruthenium(II) tris(tetrabutylammonium) tris(isothiocyanate)] are described. It was found that mercury ions coordinate reversibly to the sulfur atom of the dyes' NCS groups. This interaction induces a color change in the dyes at submicromolar concentrations of mercury. Furthermore, the color change of these dyes is selective for mercury(II) when compared with other ions such as lead(II), cadmium(II), zinc(II), or iron(II). The detection limit for mercury(II) ions--using UV-vis spectroscopy--in homogeneous aqueous solutions is estimated to be approximately 20 ppb for N719 and approximately 150 ppb for N749. Moreover, the sensor molecules can be adsorbed onto high-surface-area mesoporous metal oxide films, allowing reversible heterogeneous sensing of mercury ions in aqueous solution. The results shown herein have important implications in the development of new reversible colorimetric sensors for the fast, easy, and selective detection and monitoring of mercuric ions in aqueous solutions. 相似文献
An extraction and clean-up method for ochratoxin A (OA) in roasted coffee has been developed and the HPLC method optimized. An interfering compound with a similar retention time as OA was adsorbed by the aminopropyl (NH2) material at < or = 5% NaHCO3. Residual OA on the column was recovered by washing with the extraction solution followed with methanol. Fractions were mixed together for further clean-up with Ochratest immunoaffinity columns (IACs). Analysis by HPLC resulted in a well resolved OA peak and reduction in matrix interferences. Recoveries ranged from 72 to 84% and the detection limit was 1 ng/g. 相似文献
Reactions of W(CO)(6) with formamidines contrast with those of Mo(CO)(6) and Cr(CO)(6) in that the former do not yield quadruply bonded dimetal species. From the reaction of W(CO)(6) with HDAniF (HDAniF = N,N'-di-p-anisylformamidine), several new ditungsten carbonyl compounds (W(2)(mu-CO)(2)(mu-DAniF)(2)(eta(2)-DAniF)(2) (1), W(2)(mu-CO)(2)(mu-DAniF)(2)(eta(2)-DAniF)(eta(2)-CH(2)DAniF) (2), and W(2)(mu-CO)(mu-CNC(6)H(4)OCH(3))(mu-DAniF)(2)(eta(2)-DAniF)(2) (3)) have been isolated and fully characterized. In 2, CH(2)DAniF represents a DAniF ligand in which a methylene group has been added to one of the nitrogen atoms. This ligand binds to the tungsten atom using a nitrogen and a carbon atom. Compound 1 has a tungsten-tungsten bond distance of 2.476(1) A and a planar W(2)(mu-CO)(2) core structure which has C(2)(h)() symmetry with short and long W-C bond distances (1.99(1) and 2.28(1) A, respectively). DFT calculations on a model of 1 indicate that (a) the C(2)(h)() instead of D(2)(h)() symmetry of the ditungsten core may be attributed to W --> CO pi back-bonding interactions and (b) the bond between the tungsten atoms may be formulated as a double bond. The new tetragonal paddlewheel compound W(2)(DAniF)(4) (4) and the edge-sharing bioctahedron W(2)(mu-O)(mu-NC(6)H(3)Cl(2))(mu-D(Cl)PhF)(2)(eta(2)-D(Cl)PhF)(2) (5) (D(Cl)PhF = N,N'-di-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)formamidinate) have also been prepared. 相似文献
[reaction: see text] Direct asymmetric catalytic Michael reactions have been performed using chiral-amine/acid bifunctional catalysts. Performed with 0.3 equiv of (S)-(+)-1-(2-pyrrolidinylmethyl)pyrrolidine and 0.3 equiv of trifluoroacetic acid as the catalyst, the reaction of alpha,alpha-dialkylaldehydes with (E)-beta-nitrostyrene provided the alpha,alpha-dialkyl Michael products in up to 96% yield with up to 91% ee. With respect to enantioselectivity, l-proline was a poor catalyst of this class of Michael reactions. 相似文献
The reaction of copper(II) perchlorate hexahydrate with a number of sulphur(II) compounds in acetonitrile as solvent were studied. It is found that SCl2, N,N′-thiobisamines S(NR2)2, ethoxythiomorpholineC2H5O-S-Nand pentacarbonyl (thiobismorpholine) chromium(O)[Cr(CO)5·S(NO)2]reduce Cu(II) with formation of the complex Cu[(CH3CN)4]CIO4 and SO2. 相似文献
Crystals of antimony-doped In2Se3 were grown by the Bridgeman method. This compound, whose composition is In1.8Sb0.2Se3, appears to be isostructural with In1.9As0.1Se3. The refined unit cell parameters are a = 3.97(1), c = 18.87(1) Å. Orthorhombic crystals of InSbSe3 were grown from an isothermal melt. The refined unit cell parameters are a = 9.43(1), b = 14.02(5), and c = 3.96(1) Å. These parameters agree with those determined for α-InSbSe3 by other studies. The observed densities measured by a hydrostatic technique are 5.98(3) g/cm3 for In1.8Sb0.2Se3 and 6.07(2) g/cm3 for InSbSe3. The room temperature dc resistivity for In1.8Sb0.2Se3 has been found to be 4.4 × 104 Ω-cm, whereas that of InSbSe3 has been found to be 15.2(1) Ω-cm. A resistivity versus temperature study has beenn carried out for InSbSe3 between 230 and 400°K. Optical studies indicate that In1.8Sb0.2Se3 is an n-type semiconductor with a band gap of 1.1 eV and InSbSe3 is a p-type semiconductor with a band gap of 0.92 eV. 相似文献
Previous studies of the fractionated venom of the Brazilian armed spider Phoneutria nigriventer, obtained by gel filtration, have demonstrated the presence of a fraction PhM, a pool of small peptides (up to 2000 Da) that provoke contractions in smooth muscle of guinea pig ileum. Initial attempts to sequence these peptides were largely unsuccessful because of the low purification yield and the fact that the majority seemed to be blocked at their N-termini. In the present work, analysis of this venom fraction by mass spectrometry has revealed the existence of a highly complex mixture of peptides with molecular weights corresponding to those observed for the muscle-active peptides previously described (800-1800 Da). These peptides appear to be a family of isoforms with some particular features. The amino acid sequences of 15 isoforms have been determined by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) using both electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ESI-Q/ToFMS) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-ToF/ToFMS). These molecules contain post-translational modifications such as proteolysis and C-terminal amidation, which combine to generate additional isoforms. All the isoforms sequenced in this study possess an N-terminal pyroglutamic acid residue. A search for sequence similarities with other peptides in databanks revealed that these peptides are structurally related to the tachykinins, a family of neuro-hormone peptides. The data obtained in this study will be essential for the subsequent steps of this research, the synthesis of these peptides and pharmacological characterization of their biological activity. 相似文献
A new concept for the de novo synthesis of artificial glyconanocavities is presented. The use of alternating α,α′-trehalose building blocks and (thio)urea segments allows the efficient synthesis of a new family of cyclooligosaccharides,
namely cyclotrehalans (CTs), featuring a convex-shaped cavity with an apolar environment. CTs are designed to exhibit molecular inclusion abilities
similar to that of cyclodextrins (CDs). Contrary to CDs, CTs expose the monosaccharide β-face to the inner cavity, while the (thio)urea tethers provides some conformational adaptability. High-yielding syntheses
of a series of CTs and a preliminary evaluation of their inclusion properties are reported. 相似文献
