Strukturviskosität von verdünnten Lösungen von Biopolymeren

The importance of the rheological behaviour of solutions of macromolecules is briefly evaluated. The viscosity of the solutions depends on concentration, shear rate and time of shear, this relation being determined by the structure of the dissolved molecules. In dilute solutions shear dependence of viscosity is very frequently caused by the preferential orientation of anisotropic molecules. In such a case the particle dimensions can be calculated from the true limiting viscosity number, an anisotropy factor, the rotational diffusion constant and the effective particle density. These numbers can be derived from the flow curve, which has been extrapolated to zero concentration. It is necessary to measure the flow curve at shear gradients, which are sufficiently low to allow for an extrapolation to vanishing shear rate. By comparing the experimental flow curve with a choice of theoretical ones, the rotational diffusion constant and the anisotropy factor (axial ratio) can be found. From the limiting viscosity number and the axial ratio, the particle density can be calculated.     

Special Mixing Behavior of Chelate-based Ionic Liquid with Methanol

Compared to the general ionic liquids (ILs), a significant deviation of the binary mixtures of 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium tri(hexafluoroacetylaceto)-copper(II) ([C₁₀mim][Cu(hfacac)₃]) with methanol was found, indicating the way methanol interacts with ILs might be governed by the special structure of the chelating anion. IR results showed that the (C2-H) of 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluoroacetylacetonate ([C₁₀mim][hfacac]) blue-shifted more significantly than that of [C₁₀mim][Cu(hfacac)₃], meanwhile the (C=O) red-shifted in [C₁₀mim][Cu(hfacac)₃], which is contrast with that in [C₁₀mim][hfacac]. Two-dimensional correlation analysis of the FTIR spectra indicated that the chelating cavity has little effect on the sequence of the ILs sites that interact with methanol. Combined with small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) results, the picture of mixing processes in these two systems were proposed. Methanol interacts directly with the anion followed by the cation in [C₁₀mim][hfacac], while methanol preferentially enters the chelating cavity and enhances the packing effect in the [C₁₀mim][Cu(hfacac)₃] system.     

Optimization of the process parameters of synthesis of vinblastine imprinted polymer

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are tailor-made polymers with high selectivity for the template molecule. This selectivity arises from the synthetic procedure followed to prepare the MIP. In this work, the influence of process parameters on the preparation of vinblastine (VLB) imprinted polymers was presented. In the procedure of polymerization, VLB (0.1 mmol) was used as the template molecule and a commonly used initiator, azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN), was employed to initiate the reaction at 60 °C. The influence of the following parameters was investigated: the moles of functional monomer (MAA, 0.3-1.0 mmol), the moles of cross-linker (EDMA, 1.5-5.0 mmol) and the porogenic solvent (toluene or acetonitrile). A mathematical method of uniform design was applied to optimize these selected parameters in order to increase the selectivity of MIP for template molecule. The experimental data were analyzed to obtain the regression model and the optimal conditions were achieved by optimization with uniform design software. The MIP was synthesized under the optimal conditions that 1.0 mmol of MAA and 5.0 mmol of EDMA copolymerized in toluene in the presence of 0.1 mmol of VLB. After removal of the template molecule, the obtained MIP was then employed as the sorbents of solid-phase extraction (SPE) to separate VLB from Catharanthus roseus extract. The results showed that the polymer exhibited high affinity to the template molecule and could separate and enrich VLB from C. roseus extract effectively. The recovery of VLB on the optimal MIP was 89.00%, which agreed closely with the predicted recovery. Therefore it is possible to further improve the nature of the polymer by optimizing the polymerization parameters with the method of uniform design.     

Novel Electroless Deposition of Cu<Subscript>3</Subscript>Se<Subscript>2</Subscript> Film on Silicon Substrate by a Simple Galvanic Displacement Process

A novel electroless deposition method for depositing highly uniform adhesive thin films of copper selenide (Cu₃Se₂) on silicon substrates from aqueous solutions is described. The deposition is carried out by two coupled galvanic reactions in a single deposition bath containing copper cations, hydrogen fluoride, and selenous acid: the galvanic deposition of copper on silicon and the subsequent galvanic reaction between the deposited copper with selenous acid in the deposition bath. The powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy are used to characterize and examine the deposited films.     

Synthesis of nonracemic allylic hydroxy phosphonates via alkene cross metathesis

Allylic hydroxy phosphonates and their derivatives can be interconverted by using cross metathesis with second generation Grubbs catalyst. The absolute stereochemistry of the starting phosphonate is conserved in the product. Cross metathesis reaction of the acrolein-derived phosphonate 2a yields a series of functionalized allylic hydroxy phosphonates. However, the cross metathesis reaction is often accompanied by competing dimerization and alkene migration reactions leading to a reduction in yield. The cinnamaldehyde- and crotonaldehyde-derived phosphonates 2b and 2c were also examined. In general, the metathesis reactions of phosphonates 2b and 2c are considerably slower than those for phosphonate 2a leading to mixtures. Several hydroxyl-protected derivatives of the phosphonate 2a (methyl carbonate 3a, acetate 4a, N-tosyl carbamate 5a, TBDMS 6a, and acetoacetate 7a) undergo metathesis without competing side reactions to give substituted allylic phosphonates in good to excellent yield.

Phase diagrams of binary systems of alkylammonium tetrachlorometallates(II)

The phase diagrams of four binary systems (C₁₀H₂₁NH₃)₂CoCl₄?(C₁₆H₃₃NH₃)₂CoCl₄, (C₁₂H₂₅NH₃)₂CoCl₄?(C₁₆H₃₃NH₃)₂CoCl₄, (C₁₀H₂₁NH₃)₂ZnCl₄?(C₁₆H₃₃NH₃)₂ZnCl₄ and (C₁₂H₂₅NH₃)₂ZnCl₄?(C₁₆H₃₃NH₃)₂ZnCl₄ were investigated by means of DSC. These six compounds and their binary mixtures can retain energies between 74 and 115 J/g during solid-state transformations at temperatures between 70 and 105°C, and they are therefore being considered for potential use in solar energy systems.

The electronic structure and spectrum of tropone

The electronic structure and spectrum of tropone were studied by paying special attention to an assignment of the 300 m band. The band was shown to have a single ^* character overlapped by an n ^* transition from the following experimental and theoretical studies: (i) From the comparison of the observed transition energies and intensities with theoretical values obtained by the Pariser-Parr-Pople calculation in which the values of W _X ^2p (valence state ionization potential of the oxygen atom) and k (bond alternation parameter) taken as guiding parameters were changed widely and their adequateness was carefully examined, (ii) From the correlation among the electronic absorption spectra of tropone, troponeimine, and heptafulvene. (iii) From the finding that the 300 m band increases its intensity with the increasing polarity of the solvent. (iv) From the position and intensity of a band newly observed in the vacuum ultraviolet region.

Zusammenfassung An Tropon wurden Elektronenstruktur und Spektrum untersucht, speziell die 300 m-Bande. Diese entsteht aus einem einzigen - ^*-Übergang, überlagert von einer schwachen n-^*-Bande, und nicht aus 2 - ^*-Banden. Als Stütze dienen: 1. eine PPP-Rechnung, bei der das Valenzzustandsionisationspotential von Sauerstoff und der Bindungsalternierungsparameter sorgfältig variiert wurden, 2. die Korrelation der Spektren von Tropon, Troponimin und Heptafulven, 3. der Lösungsmitteleinfluß auf die Bande, 4. eine neuaufgefundene UV-Bande.

Cette bande a été caractérisée comme résultant d'une transition ^* recouverte par une transition n ^*, à l'aide des arguments théoriques et expérimentaux suivants: 1. à partir de la comparaison des énergies et des intensités de transition observées, avec les valeurs théoriques obtenues par un calcul Pariser-Parr-Pople où les valeurs de W _X ^2p (potentiel d'ionisation de l'état de valence de l'atome d'oxygène) et de k (paramètre d'alternance des liaisons), considérés comme paramètres régulateurs, ont été largement variées et soigneusement analysées. 2. à partir de la corrélation entre les spectres d'absorption électronique de la tropolone, de la tropolonéimine et de l'heptafulène. 3. à partir du fait que la bande à 300 m voit son intensité croitre avec la polarité du solvent. 4. à partir de la position et de l'intensité d'une bande nouvelle observée dans la région de l'ultra-violet lointain.
