Synthesis and crystal structure of a novel coordination polymer: {[Zn<Subscript>2</Subscript>(6-Pydc)<Subscript>2</Subscript>(Bpp)<Subscript>2</Subscript>] · 4H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O}<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>

A 1D zigzag coordination polymer {[Zn₂(2,6-Pydc)₂(Bpp)₂] · 4H₂O} _n (I) [2,6-H₂Pydc = 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid, Bpp = 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane] has been synthesized via the hydrothermal method. Single crystal structural analysis exhibits that a novel 2D complicated framework comprised of two kinds of infinite 1D zigzag chains was stabilized by chains through hydrogen bonding, and π-π stacking interaction, which aggregate together to give birth to the 3D network structure via the C-H…O interaction.

Dissipative particle dynamic simulation study of lipid membrane

The lipid membrane plays crucial roles in countless biologic processes, ranging from cell motility, endo- and exocytosis, and cell division to protein aggregation and trafficking. To gain a molecular insight in these biologic processes, the recently developed mesoscale simulation technique, dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulation, has become an invaluable tool. By providing a brief survey of existing atomistic and popular coarse-grained models used today in studying the dynamics (including vesicle formation and (protein-mediated) vesicle fusion) and phase behavior of lipid bilayers, this review illustrates how mesoscopic DPD models can be used to obtain a better understanding of these biologic processes currently inaccessible to atomistic and most coarse-grained models.     

Effects of Acid and Base on the Inductive Efficiency of Oligonucleotide on the Vesicle Formation from Single-Chained Cationic Surfactant

Recently, we reported for the first time that oligonucleotide could induce single‐chained cationic surfactant molecules to aggregate into vesicles and the facilitative efficiency of oligonucleotide on vesicle formation was dependent on its size and sequence. In the present paper, we will continue to study the effects of acid and base on the facilitative efficiency of oligonucleotide on vesicle formation. It is found that proton ions show little effect on the facilitative efficiency while hydroxide ions make it decreased. Moreover, the percentage of oligonucleotide involved in vesicle formation in basic solution is much lower than that in acidic solution (which is almost equal to that in water). Since the structures and properties of DNA/amphiphile complex are very important for its application as nonviral gene carrier, this study may provide some helpful information for gene therapy.     

Photodegradation of Rhodamine B on Sulfur Doped ZnO/TiO2 Nanocomposite Photocatalyst under Visible-light Irradiation

Sulfur doped ZnO/TiO₂ nanocomposite photocatalysts were synthesized by a facile sol‐gel method. The structure and properties of catalysts were characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV‐vis diffusive reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and N₂ desorption‐adsorption isotherm. The XRD study showed that TiO₂ was anatase phase and there was no obvious difference in crystal composition of various S‐ZnO/TiO₂. The XPS study showed that the Zn element exists as ZnO and S atoms form SO^2?₄. The prepared samples had mesoporosity revealed by N₂ desorption‐adsorption isotherm result. The degradation of Rhodamine B dye under visible light irradiation was chosen as probe reaction to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of the ZnO/TiO₂ nanocomposite. The commercial TiO₂ photocatalyst (Degussa P25) was taken as standard photocatalyst to contrast the prepared different photocatalyst in current work. The improvement of the photocatalytic activity of S‐ZnO/TiO₂ composite photocatalyst can be attributed to the suitable energetic positions between ZnO and TiO₂, the acidity site caused by sulfur doping and the enlargement of the specific area. S‐3.0ZnO/TiO₂ exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation after Zn amount was optimized, which was 2.6 times higher than P25.

Hydroxyl Radicals Formation in Dielectric Barrier Discharge During Decomposition of Toluene

A method based on high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), has been developed to measure hydroxyl radical (^·OH) in plasma reactors. The determination was performed indirectly by detecting the products of the reaction of ^·OH with salicylic acid (SAL). The applicability, and effect of time, specific input energy (SIE), relative humidity (RH), catalyst were investigated. It was found that 3 h was the optimal trapping time; concentration of ^·OH was (5.9–23.6) × 10¹³ radicals/cm³ at SIE range. The highest ^·OH yield and toluene removal efficiency (η) were achieved with a RH of 20%. With MnO _x , η was two times that without catalyst, while ^·OH yield in gas stream was one-sixth that without catalyst. However, if summed with ^·OH adsorbed on catalyst surface, the total ^·OH yield was the same as without catalyst. Experiments performed with/without toluene allowed to determine the role of ^·OH on decomposition of toluene in air plasma.

Preparation and electrical properties of Nd and Mn co-doped Bi<Subscript>4</Subscript>Ti<Subscript>3</Subscript>O<Subscript>12</Subscript> thin films

Ferroelectric thin films of Nd and Mn co-doped bismuth titanate, Bi_3.15Nd_0.85Ti_3−x Mn _x O₁₂ (BNTM) (x = 0–0.1), were fabricated on Pt/TiO₂/SiO₂/Si(100) substrates by a sol–gel technique. The BNTM films had a polycrystalline perovskite structure and uniform and dense surface morphologies. A lattice distortion was observed in the BNTM films due to Mn ion doping. The ferroelectric measurement of the films indicated that the values of coercive field (E _c ) decreased gradually with the increase of the Mn content (x), however, the remanent polarization (P _r ) increase firstly and then decrease with the increase of x. The sample with x = 0.05 had optimum electrical properties and a maximum 2P _r value. The 2P _r and 2E _c values of the film at a maximum applied electric field of 400 kV/cm were 38.3 μC/cm² and 180 kV/cm, respectively. Moreover, this BNTM capacitors did not show fatigue behaviors after 1.0 × 10¹⁰ switching cycles at a frequency of 1 MHz, suggesting a fatigue-free character. The main reason for the increase of the 2P _r and the decrease of the 2E _c might be attributed to the lattice distortion in BNTM films due to Mn ion doping.
