Novel CaCO3/g-C3N4 composites with enhanced charge separation and photocatalytic activity

A novel CaCO₃/graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) photocatalyst was synthesized for the first time via a facile calcination method using CaCO₃ and melamine as precursors. The as-prepared samples were characterized using various techniques, such as scanning and transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis, as well as Fourier-transform infrared, X-ray photoelectron, photoluminescence, and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The results of the experiments confirm the successful coupling of CaCO₃ to g-C₃N₄. The photocatalytic activity of the synthesized CaCO₃/g-C₃N₄ composites was evaluated by assessing their performance in the photocatalytic degradation of crystal violet (CV) in water under visible light irradiation. The analysis shows that CaCO₃/g-C₃N₄ exhibits higher photocatalytic activity towards CV degradation (76.0%) than pristine g-C₃N₄ (21.6%) and CaCO₃ (23.2%). Radical trapping and electron spin resonance experiments show that hydroxyl radicals (OH) and holes (h⁺) are the key reactive species in the photocatalytic process. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of the composite is mainly attributed to the efficient separation rate of electron-hole pairs achieved through the incorporation of CaCO₃.     

纳米银掺杂二氧化硅复合颗粒的制备及表征

0引言金属纳米颗粒因其粒子尺寸小(1￣100nm),比表面积大,表面原子数多,表面能和表面张力随粒径的下降急剧增大而具有量子尺寸效应[1]、小尺寸效应[2]、表面效应[3]及宏观量子隧道效应[4]等,从而出现了不同于常规固体的新奇特性,如:光学性质、磁性质以及电磁学性质[5],使其在催化、信息存储及非线性光学等领域展示了广阔的应用前景[6]。虽然制备金属纳米颗粒的方法有很多[6],但是由于纳米尺寸的金属颗粒具有较高的表面能,容易发生聚集,所以如何保持其稳定性依旧是比较困难的问题。随着纳米科技的发展,人们正尝试用各种方法来解决这个问题:如…     

Comparative molecular field analysis study of stilbene derivatives active against A549 lung carcinoma

A series of 43 stilbene derivatives that showed cytotoxicity against human lung carcinoma (A549) was analyzed using comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) for defining the hypothetic pharmacophore model. The polyoxylated stilbenes were found to be active inhibitors of tubulin polymerization. Several cis-stilbenes are structurally similar to combretastatins. However, the trans-stilbenes are assumed to be close to resveratrol found in grapes and have been reported to be potential cancer chemopreventive agents by modulating the initiation, promotion, and progression of the carcinogenic process. With several synthesized compounds that were evaluated for antitumor cytotoxicity against human lung tumor cells (A549), the stilbene derivatives were subjected to CoMFA. To perform systematic molecular modeling of these compounds, a conformational search was carried out based on the precise dihedral angle analysis of the lead compound (1p). The X-ray crystallographic structure of combretastatin A-1 was also used for defining the active conformers of the compounds. After determining the energy-minimized conformers of the lead compound (1p), CoMFA was performed using five different alignments. The three dimensional (3D)-quantitative structure-activity relationship study resulted in reasonable cross-validated, conventional r(2) values equal to 0.640 and 0.958, respectively.     

Estrogen receptor microarrays: subtype-selective ligand binding

We present the first example of a nuclear hormone receptor microarray, using for illustration the ligand-binding domains of the two estrogen receptors, ERalpha-LBD and ERbeta-LBD. The proteins are printed and allowed to attach to aldehyde slides; the efficiency of attachment depends on whether the LBD is liganded with agonists (low attachment) versus liganded with antagonists or unliganded (high attachment). This suggests that attachment is orientation specific and involves principally a single lysine residue. The attached ERs retain good ligand-binding activity that can be assessed using an estradiol-fluorophore conjugate, and specific and ER subtype-selective binding of ligands can be determined conveniently in competitive binding assays. This powerful new, high-throughput technique to study ligand binding to ER-LBDs can be extended to other nuclear hormone receptors and adapted to assay the recruitment of coregulator proteins.     

Mechanistic studies of the addition of carbonyl compounds to tetramesityldigermene

The mechanism of the addition of carbonyl compounds to digermenes was investigated by examining the reaction between tetramesityldigermene and two mechanistic probes: trans-2-phenylcyclopropane carbaldehyde and trans,trans-2-methoxy-3-phenylcyclopropane carbaldehyde. In each reaction, two diastereomers of the formal [2+2] cycloadduct between the aldehyde and the digermene were obtained. These findings, together with the results of a recent theoretical study, indicate that the addition of carbonyl compounds to digermenes proceeds via a mechanism involving a zwitterionic intermediate.

Intraframework potential energy function of zeolites

Potential energy functions suitable for the (Cs_1–xNa_xT₂O₄)-A type zeolite family were obtained from the known crystal structure of Cs₇Na₅-A zeolite. Using these potential functions, several other crystal structures in these family were obtained by molecular mechanical calculations. The activation energy - to -cage transmission of the H₂ molecule and the void volume of Cs₃Na₉-A zeolite were calculated.

Influence of the Size of Aromatic Chelate Ligands on the Structures of Cadmium(II) Tetracarboxylates Polymers: From 2D Layered Network to 3D Metal‐Organic Framework

To determine the influence of the size of the aromatic chelate ligands on the frameworks of metal tretracarboxylate polymers, two new coordination polymers [Cd(btc)_0.5 (2,2′‐bpy)] ( 1 ) and [Cd(btc)_0.5(phen)]·H₂O ( 2 ) (H₄btc = biphenyl‐3,3′,4,4′‐tetracarboxylic acid, 2,2′‐bpy = 2,2′‐bipyridine, phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline) have been synthesized under similar hydrothermal conditions. In complex 1 , the dimeric Cd₂ units are linked by bridging btc^4? ligand to form a 2D layered network, whereas complex 2 possesses a 3D metal‐organic framework consisting of the dimeric Cd₂ units. The differences of two metal‐organic frameworks demonstrate that the size of the rigid aromatic chelate ligands have an important effect on the structures of their complexes. Additionally, the two complexes show strong fluorescence in the solid state at room temperature.
