季铵盐改性四钛酸钾晶须及其吸附性能

通过季铵盐改性四钛酸钾晶须,应用X射线衍射分析、红外光谱,紫外-可见漫反射光谱对改性前后的四钛酸钾晶须进行表征,并初步研究了不同季铵盐改性的四钛酸钾晶须对苯酚吸附性能的研究。实验结果表明,改性前后的四钛酸钾晶须在紫外光区均有较强的光吸收,而在可见光区其吸收则较弱。改性前后四钛酸钾晶须的结构没有改变,季铵盐能够进入层状化合物的层板间,使改性后的层间距稍微增大。与改性前相比,改性后的四钛酸钾晶须对苯酚的吸附量和吸附率有了明显的提高。     

Theoretical investigations of the EPR parameters and local structure for Cu2+ in BeO

The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) parameters (the anisotropic g factors, the hyperfine structure parameters and the quadrupole coupling constant Q) and local structure for Cu²⁺ in BeO are theoretically investigated from the perturbation formulas of these parameters for a 3d⁹ ion under trigonally distorted tetrahedra. The ligand orbital and spin-orbit coupling contributions are included in the basis of the cluster approach, in view of the strong covalency of the [CuO₄]^6? cluster. From the calculations, the impurity Cu²⁺ is suggested not to occupy exactly the ideal Be²⁺ site but to suffer a slight inward displacement (≈0.024 Å) toward the ligand triangle along the C₃ axis. The theoretical EPR parameters show good agreement with the experimental data.     

An upper bound for domination number of 5-regular graphs

Let G = (V, E) be a simple graph. A subset S ⊆ V is a dominating set of G, if for any vertex u ∈ V-S, there exists a vertex v ∈ S such that uv ∈ E. The domination number, denoted by γ(G), is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set. In this paper we will prove that if G is a 5-regular graph, then γ(G) ⩽ 5/14n.     

Synthesis of air-stable mixed bis-carboxylate titanocene complexes and their catalytic behaviors in cross-aldol and Mannich reactions

Tunable organometallic Lewis acid catalysts were developed by combining salicylic acid (H₂-Sal) with benzoic acid (H-Ben), 4-fluorobenzoic acid (H-BenF) and 3-thiophenic acid (H-Th), as coligands for mixed bis-carboxylate titanocene complexes. Three air-stable complexes [Cp₂Ti(η¹-HSal)(η¹-Ben)] (1), [Cp₂Ti(η¹-HSal)(η¹-BenF)] (2) and [Cp₂Ti[η¹-HSal][(η¹-Th)] (3) were prepared in high yields by the reaction of salicylato titanocene chelate with carboxylate ligands. The mixed bis-carboxylate titanocene complexes were fully characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies revealed Ti–O_(H-Sal) bond distances in 1, 2 and 3 of 1.972(3), 1.9245(18) and 1.912(5) Å, respectively, while the bond distances involving the coligands of 1, 2 and 3 are 1.908(3) Å (Ti–O_Ben), 1.9296(19) Å (Ti–O_BenF) and 1.945(5) Å (Ti–O_Th), respectively. These bis-carboxylate titanocene complexes showed satisfactory activities and selectivities in Mannich and cross-aldol reactions. Notably, complex 3 bearing the labile thiophene carboxylate ligand gave high yields with a diastereomer ratio (d.r.) as high as 1:99 for the direct Mannich reactions of benzaldehyde, cyclohexanone and aniline. In cross-aldol reaction of benzaldehyde and cyclohexanone, 1 and 2 successfully catalyzed the formation of double-aldol products in up to 99 % yield.     

Profiling of amine metabolites in human biofluids by micellar electrokinetic chromatography with laser-induced fluorescence detection

A rapid and sensitive capillary electrophoresis (CE) method has been developed for profiling organic metabolites containing amine functional groups in mammalian biofluids. Metabolites containing an amine group were derivatized with 4-fluoro-7-nitrobenzo-2,1,3-oxadiazol (NBD-F), separated by micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC), and detected by argon-ion (488 nm) laser-induced fluorescence detection. The optimized MEKC background electrolyte conditions were: 50 mmol L⁻¹ sodium cholate, 5 mmol L⁻¹ β-cyclodextrin, and 20 mmol L⁻¹ Brij 35 in 20 mmol L⁻¹ aqueous borate buffer, pH 9.3, containing 7% methanol. Under these conditions all the amine compounds in mammalian biofluids, for example plasma, saliva, and urine, were derivatized directly, without extraction, in a minimum volume of 100 nL and the derivatives could be separated within 16 min. Up to 90% of the amine-containing metabolites in plasma and saliva could be identified by reference to standard compounds. For twenty amine standards linearity of calibration was better than R ² = 0.99. Migration-time and peak-area reproducibility were better than RSD 1.5% and 15% respectively. In replicate analysis of human plasma bioanalytical precision ranged between 0.7 and 3.8 RSD% for a 5.0-μL volume and between 1.7 and 5.5 RSD% for 100-nL volume. The concentrations measured were found to be in agreement with literature values.

Synthesis and Characterization of a New Neutral Ionophore for Use in Bulk Optode

Chemical sensors based on optical signal detection are of increasing importance. Optical sensors of bulk optodes have the advantage of being robust and showing a highly reversible response explainable by means of the chemical equilibria involved. Therefore, a great number of new ion-selective bulk optodes have reported within a few years. Several sensors for detecting toxicologically revalant ions,such as Pb²⁺,Ag⁺,Hg²⁺ and UO₂²⁺ have been developed recently and exhibit the low detection limit required. Although a number of ionophores have been used in optodes and ISEs,the sensors described so far are inadequate for monitoring Ag⁺ in water, especially in drinking water because of their limited selectivity and/or insufficient sensitivity. More recently Pretsch et al designed and synthesized an improved optical sensor, methylene bis(2-thiobenzothiazole),which was Ag⁺-selective. Here we report synthesis of another ionophore,1,2-bis(2-thiobenzothiazole) ethane, and its IR, ESI-MS, ¹HNMR and UV-Vis.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of an Ionic Compound [Fe(CN)_6·(PhCH_2NC_9H_7)_4]·12H_2O

A novel ionic compound [Fe(CN)6(PhCH2NC9H7)4]·12H2O (C70H80FeN10O12, Mr = 1309.29) has been synthesized and its structure was characterized by IR, elemental analysis and X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in triclinic, space group P1, with a = 10.968(7), b = 11.466(7), c = 14.077(8) , α = 87.014(7), β = 78.124(7), γ = 72.708(7)o, V = 1654.1(17) 3, Z = 1, Dc = 1.314 g·cm–3, F(000) = 692, μ = 0.298 mm–1, the final R = 0.0519 and wR = 0.1355. The building unit of the title compound consists of four (PhCH2N+C9H7) ions, one [Fe(CN)6]4– anion, and a dozen water molecules. According to the structural analysis, [Fe(CN)6]4– ions are linked together by O–H···O and O–H···N hydrogen bonds, while (PhCH2N+C9H7) and [Fe(CN)6]4– ions interact with each other by electrostatic force to form an ionic compound.     

Micellar electrokinetic biofluid analysis of biogenic amines using on-line sample concentration and UV laser-induced native fluorescence detection

A simple and sensitive sweeping micellar electrokinetic chromatography method coupled with UV laser-induced native fluorescence detection has been developed for quantitative analysis of biogenic amines in biofluids. The background electrolyte comprised 30 mmol L⁻¹ phosphoric acid and 20 mmol L⁻¹ sodium dodecyl sulfate. The concentration limits of detection of analytes using sweeping-micellar electrokinetic chromatography (sweeping-MEKC) were in the range 7–100 nmol L⁻¹, which were 250–3600-fold improvement for dopamine, DOPA and epinephrine compared with conventional capillary zone electrophoresis. An improvement of approximately 20-fold was observed for all analytes compared with typical micellar electrokinetic chromatography conditions. Baseline separation was achieved for the all analytes within 12 min and migration-time and peak-area repeatability were better than RSD 0.35% and 5.68%, respectively. The developed method was applied to measure the biogenic amines in biofluids extracted from wheat phloem sap, human plasma and human urine.     

Investigations on the local angular distortions and the spin-Hamiltonian parameters for Ni in sulfides

The local angular distortions and the spin-Hamiltonian parameters (the g factors and the hyperfine parameters) for Ni⁺ in ABS₂ (ACu, Ag; BAl, Ga) ternary sulfides are theoretically investigated from the perturbation formulas of these parameters for 3d⁹ ions in a tetragonally distorted tetrahedron. In view of the strong covalency of such systems, the ligand orbital and spin–orbit coupling contributions are taken into account using the cluster approach. The local impurity-ligand bond angles in the Ni⁺ centers are found to be about 1.4–4.5° smaller than those of the host monovalent A sites in the pure crystals, due to size mismatching substitution. As a result, the ligand tetrahedra exhibit slight elongation in CuBS₂:Ni⁺ and slight compression in AgGaS₂:Ni⁺. The calculated spin-Hamiltonian parameters, optical transitions and the relative intensity ratios show reasonable agreement with the experimental data.
