Ternary surface complexes by theE(%)-pH curve method

A new method for the study of ternary surface complexes at liquid-solid interface, theE(%) -pH curve method, was proposed. Four types ofE(%)-pH curves, namely, phenomenon of left-right shifts of S-shaped curve, V-shaped curve, monodirection shift curve and X-shaped curve, were discovered. Correspondingly, apart from type (I) ternary surface complex and type (II) ternary surface complex , a new type of ternary surface complex was discovered.

Cyclodextrins with heterocyclic substitution as GC stationary phases

Summary Two new cyclodextrin (CD) derivatives, heptakis{2,6-di-O-pentyl-3-O-[3′-(2″-chloro-4″,5″-dioxylmethene)-phenyl-5′-iso-oxazolylmethyl]}-β-CD (CD I) and heptakis{2,6-di-O-methyl-3-O-[3′-(2″-chloro)-phenyl-5′-iso-oxazolylmethyl]}-β-CD (CD II) were synthesized and coated on fused-silica capillary columns. Their chromatographic characteristics, including column efficiency, polarity, selectivity and phase transition were studied and compared with similar β-CD stationary phases. It was found that the heterocycle group has a significant effect on the selectivity of the CD stationary phases. Both stationary phases can be successfully used to separate many di- and trisubstituted benzene positional isomers and show stronger separation ability in separating low-polarity benzene positional isomers than other β-CD stationary phases.     

A new gas chromatographic stationary phase: Polysiloxane with β-cyclodextrin side chain for the separation of chiral and positional isomers

Summary A new stationary phase [bikis(2,6-di-O-pentyl-3-O-hex-6-enyl)-pentakis(2,6-di-O-pentyl-3-O-methyl)-β-CD-polysiloxane] was synthesized and successfully applied in GC for the separation of chiral and achiral isomers. It possesses high column efficiency and exhibits excellent separation ability for disubstituted benzenes. Some typical enantiomers and optical isomers are well separated. The separation behavior of this new phase is characterized and discussed.     

Effect of hydration andpH on the thermal stability of proteinase K

The effect of hydration andpH on the thermal stability of proteinase K was studied in the temperature range 310–450 K by differential scanning calorimetry. The dependences of the denaturation temperatureT _d, the specific enthalpy of denaturation H _d and the maximum of excess apparent specific heat capacityC _ex ^max upon the degree of hydrationh and thepH of the buffers used are presented. The relation betweenT _d andh is of the Flory-Garrett's type. By means of Ooi's model, the two components of the denaturation enthalpy arising from hydration and conformational change, respectively, were estimated. The fact that the specific denaturation enthalpy of proteinase K is very low may be attributed to its very low enthalpy of conformational change per heavy atom.Dedicated to Prof. Menachem Steinberg on the occasion of his 65th birthdayThis major project was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.     

DSC study of cold and heat denaturation processes of β-lactoglobulin A with guanidine hydrochloride

The cold and heat denaturations of bovine P-lactoglobulin A ((β-lg A) has been studied in solutions of guanidine hydrochloride (GuHCI) by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The experimental results are presented and discussed. It is shown that the number of protons bound by the monomeric molecules of β-lg A was unchanged before and after its heat denaturation below pH 3, and that the activation energy of the heat denaturation was depressed owing to the presence of GuHCI. In the solutions with 2.50 and 3.06 mol/L of GuHCI, both the cold and heat denaturations of P-lg A were observed. In comparison with the heat denaturation, the activation energy of cold denaturation was far lower and the number of GuHCl molecules bound by the unfolded polypeptide chains after culd denaturation increased a lot. The absolute value of the enthalpy of cold denaturation was larger than that of heat denaturation. It was found by the analysis that the contribution to the total denaturational enthalpy of conformational change itself of the monomeric molecules of β-lg A was the lowest among the globulins, according to the average of the number of heavy atoms.

Absorption,transportation and distribution of imidacloprid in maize

The neonicotinoid imidacloprid is a very important insecticide in maize cultivation in China. A laboratory experiment was conducted to investigate its absorption, transportation and distribution in maize plants. Plants were exposed to an aqueous solution of imidacloprid at five concentrations (10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 μg/mL). The residues of imidacloprid in different plant parts were determined by using a quick and effective method of high-performance liquid chromatography. Results showed that the average recoveries ranged from 85.16% to 102.23%, with relative standard deviations of 1.82–4.40% at three different spiking levels in each different matrix. The half-lives of imidacloprid in hydroponic maize water were from 5.33 to 11.55 days. The concentrations in roots, stems and leaves were from 5.61 to 7.48, 1.03 to 4.03 and 0 to 30.57 μg/mL after 6 h–7 days exposed in 10 μg/mL imidacloprid aqueous solutions, respectively. Our study showed that imidacloprid was strongly absorbed by roots and mainly accumulated in leaves. Quantity ratio and bioconcentration factors (BCFs) were also used to estimate the distribution and accumulation in maize. The values of quantity ratios were the highest in the leaves while lowest in the root after 7 days treatments, with the ranking of leaves > stem > root. The BCFs were 0.63–1.66, 0.52–0.92 and 3.20–6.78 in root, stem and leaves, respectively. These results demonstrated that the exposed time and imidacloprid application concentrations were also the main factors influencing the absorption. This study enhances our understandings of the uptake and distribution of imidacloprid in maize plants.

Effective transformation of cellulose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural catalyzed by fluorine anion-containing ionic liquid modified biochar sulfonic acids in water

This article first discloses that the fluorine anion-containing ionic liquids-functionalized biochar sulfonic acids (BCSA-IL-F_1–3s), which were simply synthesized by an ionic exchange of 1-trimethoxysilylpropyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (IL-Cl) grafted on the BCSA with CF₃SO₃H (HF₁), HBF₄ (HF₂), HPF₆ (HF₃), respectively, can efficiently catalyze cellulose hydrolysis into reducing sugars (RSs) and 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) in water under microwave irradiation. This process provides a very high catalysis efficiency (turnover numbers, 4.03–4.89) at mild temperature (80 °C) for 3 h, but also possesses an excellent repeatability. More outstandingly, they can achieve much higher HMF yields (12.70–27.94%) compared to the IL-Cl-functionalized BCSA catalyst (HMF yields are lower than 0.1%) under the same reaction conditions. This is likely because the introduction of IL-F_1–3s groups can significantly improve the accessibility, acidity and thermal stability of BCSA’s SO₃H sites, as supported by evidence from a solid ³¹P NMR spectrum and thermogravimetric analysis. It is proposed that the good selectivity for HMF perhaps originates from a co-catalysis action of the IL-F_1–3s and SO₃H groups on BCSA-IL-F_1–3s in the further conversion of RSs to HMF.
