Ground state absorption, first excited-singlet state, and properties of reactive intermediates of mononitropyrene isomers encountered in the atmospheric aerosol have been studied under different conditions that could mimic the environment. The nitro group can present different orientations relative to the pyrene ring depending on its geometric location and could induce differences in the photochemistry of the isomers. The 2-NO(2)Py isomer has the largest red shift and lowest oscillator strength in the UV-visible band associated with the nitro group. The isomers show very low fluorescence yields (10(-3)-10(-4)). Only 1-NO(2)Py and 4-NO(2)Py have phosphorescence emission (Φ(p) ≈ 10(-4)), indicating that the lowest triplet state decays mainly through effective radiationless channels. Laser photolysis produces a low-lying triplet state (τ(T) = 10(-5)-10(-6) s), a long-lived pyrenoxy radical, and a PyNO(2)H radical in solvents in which the triplet can abstract a hydrogen atom. Similar triplet yields were calculated (0.1-0.6) for the isomers, while significant differences in the relative yield of the long-lived species were determined. Differences in the quenching rate constants of the triplet by water and phenols suggest a strong hydrogen-bond interaction with the nitro group in the C-2 position, which provides for radiationless deactivation routes. 相似文献
It is well known that gadolinium chloride (GD) attenuates drug-induced hepatotoxicity by selectively inactivating Kupffer cells. In the present study the effect of GD in reference to cell cycle and postnecrotic liver regeneration induced by thioacetamide (TA) in rats was studied. Two months male rats, intraveously pretreated with a single dose of GD (0.1 mmol/Kg), were intraperitoneally injected with TA (6.6 mmol/Kg). Samples of blood and liver were obtained from rats at 0, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h following TA intoxication. Parameters related to liver damage were determined in blood. In order to evaluate the mechanisms involved in the post-necrotic regenerative state, the levels of cyclin D and cyclin E as well as protein p27 and Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA) were determined in liver extracts because of their roles in the control of cell cycle check-points. The results showed that GD significantly reduced the extent of necrosis. Noticeable changes were detected in the levels of cyclin D1, cyclin E, p27 and PCNA when compared to those induced by thioacetamide. Thus GD pre-treatment reduced TA-induced liver injury and accelerated the postnecrotic liver regeneration. These results demonstrate that Kupffer cells are involved in TA-induced liver and also in the postnecrotic proliferative liver states. 相似文献
Palladium(II) coordination compounds of general formula trans-[PdX2(isn)2], X = Cl− (1), N3− (2), SCN− (3), NCO− (4), isn = isonicotinamide; were synthesized and characterized in solid state by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy,
and simultaneous TG–DTA. TG experiments reveal that the compounds 1–4 undergo thermal decomposition in three or four stages, yielding Pd0 as final residue, according to calculus and identification by X-ray powder diffraction. 相似文献
This work describes the synthesis, characterization, and the thermal behavior investigation of four palladium(II) complexes
with general formulae [PdX2(mba)2], in which mba = N-methylbenzylamine and X = OAc− (1), Cl− (2), Br− (3) or I− (4). The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared vibrational spectroscopy, and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance. The stoichiometry of the complexes was established by means of elemental analysis and thermogravimetry
(TG). TG/DTA curves showed that the thermodecomposition of the four complexes occurred in 3–4 steps, leading to metallic palladium
as final residue. The palladium content found in all curves was in agreement with the mass percentages calculated for the
complexes. The following thermal stability sequence was found: 3 > 2 > 4 > 1. The geometry optimization of 1, 2, 3, and 4, calculated using the DFT/B3LYP method, yielded a slightly distorted square planar environment around the Pd(II) ion made
by two anionic groups and two nitrogen atoms from the mba ligand (N1 and N2), in a trans-relationship. 相似文献
Two new water-soluble [IrI(2)(AcO)(bis-NHC)] complexes (NHC=N-heterocyclic carbene) incorporating a sulfonate functionality have been synthesized. The two complexes have been tested in the reduction of CO(2) with H(2) and iPrOH, and their activity has been compared with similar species without the sulfonate moiety. In both reactions, the complex with the two abnormally bound NHCs shows the best catalytic efficiencies, due to the higher σ-electron-donor character of the ligand. Remarkably, the activities obtained for the reduction of CO(2) under the transfer hydrogenation conditions are the best reported to date in terms of TON value (max. TON=2700). The two new complexes have also shown very good activity in the selective deuteration of arylamines, a process that is known to proceed through a chelate assisted N-directed process. 相似文献
The high rate of spontaneous hydrolysis of tris-2-pyridyl phosphate (TPP) is explained by the activating effects of the non-leaving ("spectator") groups on P-OAr cleavage, and not by intramolecular catalysis. Previous work on phosphate-transfer reactions has concentrated on the contributions to reactivity of the nucleophile and the leaving group, but our results make clear that the effects of the non-leaving groups on phosphorus can be equally significant. Rate measurements for three series of phosphate triesters showed that sensitivities to the non-leaving groups are substantial for spontaneous hydrolysis reactions, although significantly smaller for reactions with good nucleophiles. There are clear differences between triaryl and dialkyl aryl triesters in sensitivities to leaving and non-leaving groups with the more reactive triaryl systems showing lower values for both β(LG) and β(NLG). Intramolecular catalysis of the hydrolysis of TPP by the neighbouring pyridine nitrogens is insignificant, primarily because of their low basicity. 相似文献
Relativistic scalar and spin-orbit density functional calculations of the electronic structure, Nucleus-Independent Chemical Shift (NICS) index and ELF function of the [Re2(CO)8(μ-BiPh)2] and [Re2(CO)8(μ-BiPh2)2] clusters are reported. We show here that the [Re2(CO)8(μ-BiPh)2] cluster has large negative NICS values in the region defined by the Re-Bi-Re-Bi four-membered ring and the ELF function shows significant electron delocalization density in the center of the metallic ring, thus indicating an aromatic cluster. In contrast the Re-Bi-Re-Bi four-membered ring in the [Re2(CO)8(μ-BiPh2)2] cluster has negligible paratropic ring currents and the ELF function shows a low-density region within the metallic ring indicating that aromaticity is switched off. However, the phenyl ligands in both clusters show the expected aromatic character. 相似文献
A mathematical model for the kinetics of copolymerization with crosslinking of vinyl/divinyl monomers in the presence of stable nitroxyl radicals is presented. A reaction scheme considering multifunctional polymer molecules is proposed. The Flory‐Stockmayer theory is used for the post‐gelation period. Average crosslink and cyclization densities are calculated using two different approaches. Good agreement between predicted profiles and experimental data from our and other groups is observed in all cases. Overall monomer concentration, controller/initiator ratio, and crosslinker initial concentration are found to be the governing factors for the development of average crosslink and cyclization densities and therefore for the homogeneity of the resulting polymer network.
This work reports the highly‐sensitive amperometric determination of free glycerol in biodiesel at a gold electrode adapted in a flow‐injection analysis (FIA) cell. The amperometric method involved the continuous application of three sequential pulses to the working electrode (+250 mV, +700 mV, and ?200 mV, for 100 ms each). This sequence of potential pulses eliminated electrode passivation and dramatically increased the analytical signal. The proposed FIA‐amperometric method presented low relative standard deviation between injections (1.5 %, n=15), high analytical frequency (85 h?1), satisfactory recovery values (93–118 %) for spiked samples, wide linear range (from 1 to 300 µmol L?1), and low detection limit (0.5 µmol L?1). 相似文献
