本文用差热分析和X射线衍射方法测定了BaB_2O_4-CdO和BaB_2O_4-ZnO二元系相图。在BaB_2O_4-CdO体系中存在着一新化合物BaCdB_2O_5,在785±3℃同成份熔化。在BaB_2O_4-ZnO体系中,由包晶反应形成一新化合物BaZn_3B_2O_7,反应温度为903±3℃。在富BaB_2O_4区形成一个宽的低温相BaB_2O_4固溶区。研究结果表明,用Zn~(2 )替代BaB_2O_4中Ba~(2 )形成固溶体,不能将高温相BaB_2O_4稳定到室温,证实了“经验函数关系式”的预测结果。     

Removal of methyl violet from aqueous solution by perlite

The use of perlite for the removal of methyl violet from aqueous solutions at different concentration, pH, and temperature has been investigated. Adsorption equilibrium is reached within 1 h. The capacity of perlite samples for the adsorption of methyl violet was found to increase with increasing pH and temperature and decrease with expansion and increasing acid-activation. The adsorption isotherms are described by means of the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The adsorption isotherm was measured experimentally at different conditions and the experimental data were correlated reasonably well by the adsorption isotherm of Langmuir. The order of heat of adsorption corresponds to a physical reaction. It is concluded that the methyl violet is physically adsorbed onto the perlite. The removal efficiency (P) and dimensionless separation factor (R) have shown that perlite can be used for removal of methyl violet from aqueous solutions, but unexpanded perlite is more effective.     

On lower bounds of number of perfect matchings in fullerene graphs

Couting perfect matchings in graphs is a very difficult problem. Some recently developed decomposition techniques allowed us to estimate the lower bound of the number of perfect matchings in certain classes of graphs. By applying these techniques, it will be shown that every fullerene graph with p vertices contains at least p/2+1 perfect matchings. It is a significant improvement over a previously published estimate, which claimed at least three perfect matchings in every fullerene graph. As an interesting chemical consequence, it is noted that every bisubstituted derivative of a fullerene still permits a Kekulé structure.     

Molecular emission cavity analysis: Part 21. Effect of Phosphoric Acid on the Determination of Sulphate

Phosphoric acid at levels above 10^-3 M depresses the S₂ emission from sulphate, but concentrations up to 0.1 M may be necessary to eliminate cationic interferences.

Phospholipase D is involved in oxidative stress-induced migration of vascular smooth muscle cells via tyrosine phosphorylation and protein kinase C

Oxidative stress has been implicated in mediation of vascular disorders. In the presence of vanadate, H(2)O(2) induced tyrosine phosphorylation of PLD1, protein kinase C-alpha (PKC-alpha), and other unidentified proteins in rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Interestingly, PLD1 was found to be constitutively associated with PKC-alpha in VSMCs. Stimulation of the cells by H(2)O(2) and vanadate showed a concentration-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of the proteins in PLD1 immunoprecipitates and activation of PLD. Pretreatment of the cells with the protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor, genistein resulted in a dose-dependent inhibition of H(2)O(2)-induced PLD activation. PKC inhibitor and down-regulation of PKC abolished H(2)O(2)-stimulated PLD activation. The cells stimulated by oxidative stress (H(2)O(2)) caused increased cell migration. This effect was prevented by the pretreatment of cells with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, PKC inhibitors, and 1-butanol, but not 3-butanol. Taken together, these results suggest that PLD might be involved in oxidative stress-induced migration of VSMCs, possibly via tyrosine phosphorylation and PKC activation.

Kinetics of the hydrogen abstraction *CH3 + alkane --> CH4 + alkyl reaction class: an application of the reaction class transition state theory

Kinetics of the hydrogen abstraction reaction (*)CH(3) + CH(4) --> CH(4) + (*)CH(3) is studied by a direct dynamics method. Thermal rate constants in the temperature range of 300-2500 K are evaluated by the canonical variational transition state theory (CVT) incorporating corrections from tunneling using the multidimensional semiclassical small-curvature tunneling (SCT) method and from the hindered rotations. These results are used in conjunction with the Reaction Class Transition State Theory/Linear Energy Relationship (RC-TST/LER) to predict thermal rate constants of any reaction in the hydrogen abstraction class of (*)CH(3) + alkanes. Our analyses indicate that less than 40% systematic errors on the average exist in the predicted rate constants using the RC-TST/LER method while comparing to explicit rate calculations the differences are less than 100% or a factor of 2 on the average.     

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.     

Synthesis of triphenylene derivatives by Pd-catalyzed Suzuki coupling/intramolecular CH activation between arylboronic acids and dibromobiphenyls

An efficient and regioselective synthesis of functionalized triphenylenes via palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling and subsequent intramolecular CH activation between arylboronic acids and dibromobiphenyls was developed. This methodology showed excellent atomic economy and regiospecificity as well as synthetic feasibility of unsymmetrical triphenylenes.
