Alstolactines A–C,novel monoterpenoid indole alkaloids from Alstonia scholaris

Three novel ring-fused monoterpenoid indole alkaloids, alstolactines A–C (1–3), were isolated from the long-term stored leaves of Alstonia scholaris. Their structures were identified on the basis of extensive spectroscopic data and X-ray diffractions. Moreover, the absolute configurations of these related structures were indicated by the crystal X-ray diffractions (Mo Kα) of 1a, a chlorinated derivative of 1.     

Reception pattern influence on magnetoacoustic tomography with magnetic induction

Based on the acoustic radiation theory of a dipole source,the influence of the transducer reception pattern is studied for magnetoacoustic tomography with magnetic induction(MAT-MI).Numerical studies are conducted to simulate acoustic pressures,waveforms,and reconstructed images with unidirectional,omnidirectional,and strong directional transducers.With the analyses of equivalent and projection sources,the influences of the model dimension and the layer effect are qualitatively analyzed to evaluate the performance of MAT-MI.Three-dimensional simulation studies show that the strong directional transducer with a large radius can reduce the influences of equivalent sources,projection sources,and the layer effect effectively,resulting in enhanced pressure and improved image contrast,which is beneficial for boundary pressure extraction in conductivity reconstruction.The reconstructed conductivity contrast images present the conductivity boundaries as stripes with different contrasts and polarities,representing the values and directions of the conductivity changes of the scanned layer.The favorable results provide solid evidence for transducer selection and suggest potential practical applications of MAT-MI in biomedical imaging.     

Synthesis and Characterizations of Strongly Phosphorescent Copper(I) Halide Complexes with Bridged Bis[2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]ether Ligand

A series of strongly phosphorescent copper(I) halide complexes, namely [Cu(μ-X)POP]₂ (X = Cl (1), Br (2), I (3), Br_0.5Cl_0.5 (4), POP = bis[2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]ether), have been synthesized by reacting CuX with the diphosphine ligand in 1:1 molar ratio. All complexes were characterized by spectroscopic analysis (IR, UV–Vis), elemental analysis, and photoluminescence study. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that complex 2 is a dinuclear structure which is constructed by two μ-X bridges and two POP ligands as μ₂ bridges. Other complexes were determined as isologues of complex 2 by powder X-ray diffraction and elemental analysis. All complexes exhibit intense blue-green phosphorescence with a lifetime of ~1 μs in the solid state. The halogen-mixed complex presents a lightly change in the luminescence comparing to that of parent complexes. The excited states of all complexes have been assigned as halide-to-ligand charge transfer state mixed metal-to-ligand charge transfer character based on the time-dependent density functional theory calculations. All complexes are thermally stable according to thermogravimetric analysis so that they are suitable for applying in luminescent devices.     

Elements analysis of infant milk formula by ICP-OES: a comparison of pretreatment methods

Sample pretreatments are critical steps for achieving true and precise results in element analysis for infant milk formula. In this study, we made a comparative study of four pretreatment methods: dry ashing (DA), wet ashing (WA), microwave ashing (MA) and slurry dispersion analysis. Nine elements (Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, P and Zn) were determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. Infant formula (GBW08509) with certified values was used for assessment of trueness and precision. The data showed that all relative standard deviations (RSD) of the observed values were <15 %. In contrast to other pretreatment, results for MA had the lowest RSD (≤5 %) for all the elements. For Cu and Mn, there was no significant difference between measurement results and certified values in four pretreatments. But, after DA and WA the results for Ca, K, Na, P and Zn differed significantly from the certified values.
