Mass spectrometry analysis of terpene lactones in Ginkgo biloba

Terpene lactones are a family of compounds with unique chemical structures, first recognised in an extract of Ginkgo biloba. The discovery of terpene lactone derivatives has recently been reported in more and more plant extracts and even food products. In this study, mass spectrometric characteristics of the standard terpene lactones in Ginkgo biloba were comprehensively studied using both an ion trap and a quadrupole time-of-flight (QTOF) mass spectrometer. The mass spectral fragmentation data from both techniques was compared to obtain the mass spectrometric fragmentation pathways of the terpene lactones with high confidence. The data obtained will facilitate the analysis and identification of terpene lactones in future plant research via the fragmentation knowledge reported here.     

Solid-state electrochemiluminescence of a novel iridium(Ⅲ) complex

The sofid-state ECL behavior of a water-insoluble bis-cyclometalated (pq)2Ir(N-phMA) complex is presented, in which pq is a 2-phenylquinoline anion and N-phMA is N-phenyl methacrylamide, a monoanionic bidentate ligand. The MWNTs/(pq)2Ir(N-phMA) film, MWNTs/Ru(bpy)32+ film and (pq)2Ir(N-phMA) directly modified glassy carbon electrode were fabricated; only the MWNTs/(pq)2Ir(N-phMA) film can produce steady ECL in the presence of tri-n-propylamine as a coreactant.     

Reversible redox-switchable second-order optical nonlinearity in polyoxometalate: a quantum chemical study of [PW11O39(ReN)]n- (n = 3-7)

In this paper, the relationship between the reversible redox properties and the second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) responses for the title series of complexes has been systematically investigated by using the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) method combined with the sum-over-states (SOS) formalism. The results reveal that the successive reduction processes of five PW11ReN redox states should be PW11ReVII (1) --> PW11ReVI (2) --> PW11ReV (3) --> PW11ReV1e ( 4) --> PW 11ReV2e (5). Furthermore, their electrochemical properties have been reproduced successfully. It is noteworthy that the second-order NLO behaviors can be switched by reversible redox for the present studied complexes. Full oxidation constitutes a convenient way to switch off the second-order polarizability (system 1). The incorporation of extra electrons causes significant enhancement in the second-order NLO activity, especially for the third reduced state (system 4), whose static second-order polarizability (betavec) is about 144 times larger than that of fully oxidized 1. The characteristic of the charge-transfer transition corresponding to the dominant contributions to the betavec values indicates that metal-centered redox processes influence the intramolecular donor or acceptor character. Therefore, these kinds of complexes with the facile and reversible redox states could become excellent switchable NLO materials.     

High-performance low-cost organic field-effect transistors with chemically modified bottom electrodes

The characteristics of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) were dramatically improved by chemically modifying the surface of the bottom-contact Ag or Cu source-drain (D-S) electrodes with a simple solution method. The contact resistance and energetic mismatch typically observed with Ag D-S electrodes in pentacene bottom-contact OFETs can be properly eliminated when modified by the Ag-TCNQ (TCNQ = 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane). The pentacene transistors with low-cost Ag-TCNQ-modified Ag bottom-contact electrodes exhibit outstanding electrical properties, which are comparable with that of the Au top-contact devices. It thus provides a novel way toward high-performance low-cost bottom-contact OFETs.     

Identity SN2 reactions X- + CH3X --> XCH3 + X- (X=F, Cl, Br, and I) in vacuum and in aqueous solution: a valence bond study

The recently developed (L. Song, W. Wu, Q. Zhang, S. Shaik, J. Phys. Chem. A 2004, 108, 6017) valence bond method coupled with a polarized continuum model (VBPCM) has been applied to the identity SN2 reaction of halides in the gas phase and in aqueous solution. The barriers computed at the level of the breathing orbital VB method (P. C. Hiberty, J. P. Flament, E. Noizet, Chem. Phys. Lett. 1992, 189, 259), BOVB and VBPCM//BOVB, are comparable to CCSD(T) and CCSD(T)//PCM results and to experimentally derived barriers in solution (W. J. Albery, M. M. Kreevoy, Adv. Phys. Org. Chem. 1978, 16, 85). The reactivity parameters needed to apply the valence bond state correlation diagram (VBSCD) method (S. Shaik, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1984, 106, 1227), were also determined by VB calculations. It has been shown that the reactivity parameters along with their semiempirical derivations provide a satisfactory qualitative and quantitative account of the barriers.     

DNA micropatterning on polycrystalline diamond via one-step direct amination

We report a novel method of one-step direct amination on polycrystalline diamond to produce functionalized surfaces for DNA micropatterning by photolithography. Polycrystalline diamond was exposed to UV irradiation in ammonia gas to generate amine groups directly. After patterning, optical microscopy confirmed that micropatterns covered with an Au mask were regular in size and shape. The regions outside the micropatterns were passivated with fluorine termination by C3F8 plasma, and the chemical changes on the two different surfaces--the amine groups inside the patterned regions by one-step direct amination and fluorine termination outside the patterned regions--were characterized by spatially resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The patterned areas terminated with active amine groups were then immobilized with probe DNA via a bifunctional molecule. The sequence specificity was conducted by hybridizing fluorescently labeled target DNA to both complementary and noncomplementary probe DNA attached inside the micropatterns. The fluorescence micropatterns observed by epifluorescence microscopy corresponded to those imaged by optical microscopy. DNA hybridization and denaturation experiments on a DNA-modified diamond show that the diamond surfaces reveal superior stability. The influence of a different amination time on fluorescence intensity was compared. Different terminations as passivated layers were investigated, and as a result, fluorine termination points to the greatest signal-to-noise ratio.     

Promotion Effects of Nickel Catalysts of Dry Reforming with Methane

The promotion effects of nickel catalyst of dry reforming with methane were extensively investigated by means of XRD, SEM, EDX, N₂‐adsorption and H₂‐adsorption. XRD characterization indicated that good dispersion of nickel oxide and MgO promoter is achieved over γ‐Al₂O₃ support. Addition of MgO promoter effectively retards the formation of NiAl₂O₄ phase. SEM and EDX analysis exhibited that the addition of rare‐earth metal oxide CeO₂ effectively promotes the Ni metal dispersion on the surface of the catalysts despite of undesirable self‐dispersion of CeO₂ promoter. Furthermore, the nickel component is gradually dispersed on the surface of the support following the exposure to reaction gas mixture for a period of time. The addition of MgO inhibited the self‐dispersion and promotion effect of CeO₂ on Ni dispersion on the catalysts. H₂ chemisorption revealed that the addition of the alkaline oxide MgO promoter significantly prohibits the metal dispersion on the catalyst. Inappropriate promoter addition can result in sharp decrease of the metal dispersion, N₂‐adsorption indicated that oxide promoter was mostly concentrated on the outer layer of the alumina support while the nickel metal was generally dispersed in the support pores. Addition of promoters contributed to more reduction in mesopore volume.     

Oxygen excess nonstoichiometry and thermodynamic quantities of La2NiO4?+?δ

The oxygen excess nonstoichiometry of La₂NiO_4 + δ is measured as a function of temperature and oxygen partial pressure (pO₂) by coulometric titration method. A positive deviation from the ideal dilution solution behavior is exhibited, and the partial molar thermodynamic quantities of La₂NiO_4 + δ are calculated from the Gibbs–Helmholtz equation for regular solution by introducing the activity coefficient of the charge carriers. The activity coefficient of holes is successfully calculated by using the Joyce–Dixon approximation of the Fermi–Dirac integral. The effective mass of holes ( m_\texth^* m_{\text{h}}^{{*}} ) is 1.27–1.29 times the rest mass (m _h), which indicate the action of band-like conduction and allow the effect of the small degree of polaron hopping to be ignored. The activity coefficient of holes calculated against the oxygen nonstoichiometry clearly illustrates the early positive deviation of the activity coefficient of holes from unit, leading to g_{\texth ^·} \gamma_{{{\text{h}}^{ \bullet }}}  ≈ 14 at δ ≈ 0.08, which is quite close to the literature value of g_{\texth ^·} \gamma_{{{\text{h}}^{ \bullet }}}  ≈ 10 at δ ≈ 0.08. All the evaluated thermodynamic quantities are in good agreement with the experimental literature values.     

Spontaneously aggregated chiral nanostructures from achiral tripod-terpyridine

A chiral tripod-terpyridine ligand is known to coordinate with Ag+. These complexes self-assemble into chiral aggregates at room temperature. Molecular dynamic simulation reveals the cooperation of tripodal ligand structures with Ag(I) cations, which leads to the formation of helical aggregations, thus the chirality.
