We present three Slater-type atomic orbital (STO) valence basis (VB) sets for the first and second row atoms, referred to as the VB1, VB2, and VB3 bases. The smallest VB1 basis has the following structure: [3, 1] for the H and He atoms, [5, 1] for Li and Be, and [5, 3, 1] for the B to Ne series. For the VB2 and VB3 bases, both the number of shells and the number of functions per shell are successively increased by one with respect to VB1. With the exception of the H and Li atoms, the exponents for the VB1 bases were obtained by minimizing the sum of the Hartree-Fock (HF) and frozen-core singles and doubles configuration interaction (CISD FC) energies of the respective atoms in their ground state. For H and Li, we minimized the sum of the HF and CISD FC energies of the corresponding diatoms (i.e., of H(2) or Li(2)) plus the ground-state energy of the atom. In the case of the VB2 basis sets, the sum that was minimized also included the energies of the positive and negative ions, and for the VB3 bases, the energies of a few lowest lying excited states of the atom. To account for the core correlations, the VBx (x = 1, 2, and 3) basis sets for the Li to Ne series were enlarged by one function per shell. The exponents of these extended (core-valence, CV) basis sets, referred to, respectively, as the CVBx (x = 1, 2, and 3) bases, were optimized by relying on the same criteria as in the case of the VBx (x = 1, 2, and 3) bases, except that the full CISD rather than CISD FC energies were employed. We show that these polarized STO basis sets provide good HF and CI energies for the ground and excited states of the atoms considered, as well as for the corresponding ions. 相似文献
We investigate biorthogonal Wilson bases generated by cardinal B-splines. Such bases provide very efficient representations of sinusoids modulated by spline functions. Exact Riesz bounds for such bases are given. Furthermore, we derive an explicit formula for the computation of the dual window functions and determine their decay rates. 相似文献
5-[4-(1-Hydroxyethyl)phenyl]-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin (1a) and zinc porphyrin 1b were designed and synthesized to experimentally examine the validity of the transition-state model previously proposed for the lipase-catalyzed kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols. The lipases from Pseudomonas cepacia (lipase PS), Candida antarctica (CHIRAZYME L-2), Rhizomucor miehei (CHIRAZYME L-9), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (lipase LIP) exhibited excellent enantioselectivity (E >100 at 30 degrees C). Subtilisin Carlsberg from Bacillus licheniformis (ChiroCLEC-BL) also showed high enantioselectivity for 1a (E = 140 at 30 degrees C), and the thermodynamic parameters were determined: DeltaDeltaH = -6.8 +/- 0.8 kcal mol(-1), DeltaDeltaS = -13 +/- 3 cal mol(-1) K(-1). Lipases and subtilisin showed R- and S-preference for 1, respectively. The mechanisms underlying the experimental observations are explained in terms of the transition-state models. The large secondary alcohol 1 is a powerful tool for investigating the conformation of the transition state of the enzyme-catalyzed reactions. The fact that 1 was resolved with high enantioselectivity strongly suggests that the gauche conformation, but not the anti conformation, is taken in the transition state, in agreement with the transition-state models involving the stereoelectronic effect. 相似文献
Two novel types of transition-metal-containing liquid crystals, bis(p-n-koxydithiobenzoato)nickel(II) (abbreviated as (CnO-DTB)2Ni), and (p-n-alkoxydithiobenzoato)(p-n-alkoxyperthiobenzoato)nickel(II) (abbreviated as (CnO-DTB)(CnO-PTB)Ni), were synthesized. It was found that the (CnO-DTB)2Ni complex for n = 8 has smectic H and C mesophases, and that the (CnO-DTB)2Ni complexes for n = 4 and 8 easily transform into the corresponding monoperthio complexes, nO-PTB)Ni, by heating at temperatures between 230°C and 285°C. It was confirmed that the transformation originates from an intermolecular reaction between the (CnO-DTB)2Ni complexes at high temperatures, and that the origin of the extra sulphurs in the resulting (CnO-DTB)(CnO-PTB)Ni complexes is the neighbouring (CnO-DTB)2Ni complexes. Interestingly, each of the (CnO-DTB)(CnO-PTB)Ni complexes (n = 4 and 8), has nematic mesophase and exhibits a unique double melting behaviour via the nematic phase, which is the first example in liquid crystals. The reversible transformation between the blue smectic rod-like (CnO-DTB)2Ni complex and the red nematic Λ-like (CnO-DTB)(CnO-PTB)Ni complex is possible. 相似文献
BPh3 catalyzes the N-methylation of secondary amines and the C-methylenation (methylene-bridge formation between aromatic rings) of N,N-dimethylanilines or 1-methylindoles in the presence of CO2 and PhSiH3; these reactions proceed at 30–40 °C under solvent-free conditions. In contrast, B(C6F5)3 shows little or no activity. 11B NMR spectra suggested the generation of [HBPh3]−. The detailed mechanism of the BPh3-catalyzed N-methylation of N-methylaniline ( 1 ) with CO2 and PhSiH3 was studied by using DFT calculations. BPh3 promotes the conversion of two substrates (N-methylaniline and CO2) into a zwitterionic carbamate to give three-component species [Ph(Me)(H)N+CO2−⋅⋅⋅BPh3]. The carbamate and BPh3 act as the nucleophile and Lewis acid, respectively, for the activation of PhSiH3 to generate [HBPh3]−, which is used to produce key CO2-derived species, such as silyl formate and bis(silyl)acetal, essential for the N-methylation of 1 . DFT calculations also suggested other mechanisms involving water for the generation of [HBPh3]− species. 相似文献
Water-soluble sodium poly(aspartate-co-lactide) (PALNa) copolymers with a molar ratio of aspartate-to-lactide units equal to 1:0.6, 1:1.0 and 1:1.5 were studied using NMR spectroscopy to determine the composition as well as SEC-MALS and static light-scattering measurements to determine the molar-mass characteristics of the copolymers. In the copolymer aqueous solutions, high-molar-mass species were detected, most probably due to the incomplete dissolution of the samples. The molar-mass averages determined in water with added simple electrolyte, i.e., NaCl, were much lower than the values determined in pure water. The concentration of the salt, which allows dissolution on a molecular level, and the separation predominantly according to a size-exclusion mechanism depend on the chemical composition of the PALNa copolymers. The optimal mobile phase for the PALNa-1/0.6 and the PALNa-1/1.0 copolymers was 0.1 M NaCl at pH 9, and for the PALNa-1/1.5 copolymer with a higher content of lactide units it was 0.05 M NaCl at pH 9. The molar-mass averages of the PALNa-1/1.0 copolymer, determined by SEC-MALS and static light-scattering measurements, were comparable.
The novel concept of a simultaneous, controlled release of a drug and a prodrug with different physico-chemical properties was applied in order to prolong the release period of antibiotics and estimate their high local concentrations, which are the necessary preconditions for the treatment of some chronic infection diseases. For this purpose poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide)/hydroxyapatite (PLGA/HAp) core-shell nanostructures were used as the carrier of clindamycin-base, as a drug, and clindamycin-2-phosphate, as a prodrug model. As a result, a two-step release was observed: the controlled release of the more soluble phosphate form and the sustained release of the less-soluble base form of clindamycin, resulting in a high overall concentration of the released drug during the period of 30 days in vitro. The HAp phase within the PLGA core-shells, applied as a drug carrier, delayed the process of the degradation of the polymer; however, the presence of the drug affected the process of degradation and this influence was the dominant factor in the control over the degradation of the polymer phase of PLGA/HAp and the consequent kinetics of the drug release. 相似文献
