Formation and stability of phytate complexes in solution

1,2,3,4,5,6 hexakis (di-hydrogen phosphate) myo-inositol, best known as phytic acid, is a very important molecule from a biological, environmental and technological point of view. For a thorough understanding of phytate properties and the mechanisms involving this ligand, a careful study of its acid–base behavior and of the formation and stability of its complexes in solution is necessary. Unfortunately, regarding the thermodynamic data on phytate complexes in solution, some are lacking, while some others exhibit large discrepancies between different authors. This motivated a detailed evaluation of the literature on this topic, aimed at identifying the most accurate data on phytate coordination chemistry in solution. This review presents the results of this, reporting and analyzing the most significant thermodynamic parameters published for both phytate protonation and complex formation with several metal and organometal cations, as well as polyammonium ligands.     

Fe掺杂Mn/TiO2低温脱硝催化剂的催化性能研究

采用氧化沉淀-浸渍法制备了不同含量Fe掺杂的Fe-Mn/TiO2低温脱硝催化剂,考察了催化剂在80~180 ℃范围内的脱硝能力并通过XRD、BET、TG、H2-TPR、NH3-TPD等测试手段,对催化剂的物理化学性质进行了表征.实验结果表明,Fe的加入并没有改变Mn/TiO2的主要晶相,仍是锐钛矿型的TiO2,MnOx和FeOx均以非晶态结构高度分散于载体表面,而且Fe的加入可以有效地改善催化剂的微观形貌、比表面积及表面酸性位点,从而提高其低温脱硝性能.Fe掺量在Fe/Ti为0.10时催化剂具有最佳性能,在120 ℃时脱硝率可达90;以上.     

In vivo 1H-NMR procedure to determine several rat cerebral metabolite levels simultaneously, undisturbed by water and lipid signals

Methods developed for in vivo 1H-NMR spectroscopy are evaluated and applied using conscious rats. Good quality 1H-spectra of the brain are obtained using a surface coil and a spin echo pulse sequence with the binomial 1-1 and 2-2 water suppression pulses. However, comparing spectra from various rats with each other the water and lipid signals, which cause spectral overlap problems, may differ while the other spectral peaks agree well. Spatially one- and two-dimensional 1H spectroscopic imaging of the rat brain shows that the former signals stem from distinct spatial regions localized close to the rf coil. From a spectroscopic image, a spectrum over a limited spatial region is constructed in which the water signals are strongly reduced, the lipid signals are eliminated and lactic acid can be observed clearly simultaneously with other metabolites.     

Characterization of beam-induced reactions occurring in liquid secondary ion mass spectrometry/fast-atom bombardment by tandem mass spectrometry

Department of General and Physical Chemistry, University of Liege, Liege, Belgium A specific beam-induced secondary reaction involving the condensation of hydroxylic matrices with some organic groups (aldehydes, ketones, etc.) accompanied by the loss of a water molecule was investigated by liquid secondary ion mass spectrometry/fast-atom bombardment (LSIMS/FAB). A mechanistic scheme and a structure of the induced product are proposed. The features of this secondary reaction were studied and the influence of the types of solutes, acidic additives, and matrices analyzed. Rather than a drawback, LSIMS/FAB mass spectrometry can take advantage of this matrix effect to infer analytical information through tandem mass spectrometry experiments. Specific neutral loss scans can be conducted to highlight beam-induced reactive molecules, even when the detection of these species is prevented in normal scan spectra by other surface-active components.     

The Second Noether Theorem in the formalism of jet-bundles: Symmetries and degeneration

By means of the jet-bundle formalism, the Second Noether Theorem is formulated for a general first-order Lagrangian field theory with infinitesimal local symmetries. These symmetries are implemented by a linear differential operator acting between the sections of a vector bundle and vector fields on the configuration bundle. The problem of the degeneration of the Lagrangian system is examined from a covariant and an instantaneous (i.e. space+time split) viewpoint. It is shown that in the instantaneous approach the presence of infinitesimal local symmetries leads to degeneration of the theory. Vertical local symmetries are shown to imply degeneration also in the covariant formalism. These results can be extended to higher-order Lagrangians as well.
