THE EFFECT OF MODIFICATION OF COORDINATING GROUPS ON THE CATALYTIC BEHAVIORS OF POLYMER CATALYSTS

Several polymer-supported palladium complex catalysts containing two different coordinatinggroups were prepared and the cooperative effect of the coordinating groups on the catalytic behaviorsof polymer catalysts was studied. It was found that poly(acrylic acid-co-acrylonitrile)-Pd complex(PAA-AN-Pd) is a more active and stable catalyst for hydrogenation than both poly(acrylic acid)-Pd and poly(acrylonitrile)-Pd complexes. A marked change of catalytic behaviors of poly(N-substituted maleamic acid-co-styrene)-Pd complexes was observed in comparison with poly(maleicacid-co-styrene)-Pd complex. Acetophenone was reduced to 1-phenyl ethanol by poly(N-phenylmaleamic acid-Co-styrene)-Pd complex (N-1-Pd), but ethylbenzene was obtained using poly(maleicacid-co-styrene)-Pd complex as a catalyst. The influence of solvents, additives and N/Pd gramatomic ratio on the catalytic behaviors of the polymer complexes was investigated.     

高效液相色谱用标样——多缩乙二醇二甲基丙烯酸酯的研制

本工作对多缩乙二醇二甲基丙烯酸酯标样的制备条件进行了研究。结果表明,应用经典柱色谱及制各级高效液相色谱两步分离,能方便地从合成反应所得粗试样制取纯样品,但是合成反应所用阻聚剂(包括贮存时所用阻聚剂)需要选择易分离的化合物,例如对苯二酚。结果还表明,对于已经过经典色谱柱预分离的二缩三乙二醇二甲基丙烯酸酯试样,硅胶/含0.25%(体积比)甲醇的二氯甲烷二元溶剂,是制备级HPLC比较理想的分离体系,可高效率地制备标样。     

Interaction between cucurbit[6]uril and bispyridinecarboxamide

The interaction between cucurbit[6]uril and N,N′-(m-bispyridinecarboxamide)-1,n-alkane (m = 2, 3, 4; n = 4, 6, 8) has been investigated by ¹H-NMR, ESI-MS and single crystal X-ray diffraction method. The results show that cucurbit[6]uril can form pseudorotaxanes with N,N′-(m-bispyridinecarboxamide)-1,6-hexane (m = 2, 3, 4) easily. When the alkyl chain length increases (n = 8), the binding mode is identical, but the binding ability of the host towards guest decreases. In both two cases cucurbit[6]uril shows no selectivity towards positional isomers. However, in the case of n = 4, the binding mode is different, having relations with positional substitution of the guest. Only N,N′-(m-bispyridinecarboxamide)-1,4-butane (m = 2) can form pseudorotaxane with cucurbit[6]uril, while the other two (m = 3, m = 4) form external complex with cucurbit[6]uril. The possible reason for the difference has been discussed.     

Tunable and Specific Formation of C@NiCoP Peapods with Enhanced HER Activity and Lithium Storage Performance

The superior properties of nanomaterials with a special structure can provide prospects for highly efficient water splitting and lithium storage. Herein, we fabricated a series of peapodlike C@Ni_2?xCo_xP (x≤1) nanocomposites by an anion‐exchange pathway. The experimental results indicated that the HER activity of C@Ni_2?xCo_xP catalyst is strongly related to the Co/Ni ratio, and the C@NiCoP got the highest HER activity with low onset potential of ～45 mV, small Tafel slope of ～43 mV dec^?1, large exchange current density of 0.21 mA cm^?2, and high long‐term durability (60 h) in 0.5 m H₂SO₄ solutions. Equally importantly, as an anode electrode for lithium batteries, this peapodlike C@NiCoP nanocomposite gives excellent charge–discharge properties (e.g., specific capacity of 670 mAh g^?1 at 0.2 A g^?1 after 350 cycles, and a reversible capacity of 405 mAh g^?1 at a high current rate of 10 A g^?1). The outstanding performance of C@NiCoP in HER and LIBs could be attributed to the synergistic effect of the rational design of peapodlike nanostructures and the introduction of Co element.

Characterization and Bioavailability of Vitamin C Nanoliposomes Prepared by Film Evaporation-Dynamic High Pressure Microfluidization

Vitamin C nanoliposomes were prepared by combining a conventional method (film evaporation) with dynamic high pressure microfluidization. Their physicochemical characterizations (antioxidant activity, particle size, entrapment efficiency, morphology, in vitro drug release, and storage stability) and skin permeation behavior were investigated. The results showed that vitamin C nanoliposomes, having equivalent DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging capacity of pure vitamin C solution without loss of their biological activity, exhibited better storage stability at 37°C for 24 hours and at 4°C for 60 days, a more excellent sustained drug release as well as higher skin penetration rate than vitamin C liposomes.     

Preparation of Epoxy-Functionalized Magnetic Polymer Nanospheres for Magnetically Targeted Radiotherapy

Magnetic poly(styrene?methyl methacrylate-glycidyl methacrylate)/Fe₃O₄ nanospheres with epoxy groups were prepared by modified one-step mini-emulsion polymerization in the presence of Fe₃O₄ ferrofluids. The products were characterized by fourier-transform infrared spectrum, transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and vibrating sample magnetometer. After surface modification with diaminopropane, histidine was covalently linked to the amine group of magentic nanospheres using glutaraldehyde as crosslinker. Finally, the preliminary labeling study based on non-radioactive rhenium was carried out and the labeling efficiency reached 80.4%. Such magnetic nanospheres had promising potential in magnetically targeted radiotherapy of cancer.     

Study on the nanoscale current of ZnO film by photoassisted peak force tunnel atomic force: A novel technique for UV detection

ZnO film-based ultraviolet (UV) detector was fabricated by photoassisted peak force tunnel atomic force (PFTUNA) on fluorine tin oxide (FTO) substrate. The PFTUNA current in dark and in UV light was ~0.1 and 2.0 nA, respectively. The UV sensitivity (photocurrent/dark current) is more than 20. The response time and the recovery time are ~0.12 and 0.32 s, respectively. The UV sensing mechanism is that the holes will transport to the ZnO surface to capture the adsorbed oxygen ions to weaken the depletion layer under UV illumination. The PFTUNA current between the tip and the ZnO film is consistent with the Richardson–Schottky (RS) thermionic emission model.
