C74(BN)2的UV和IR 光谱研究

Equilibrium geometries of 16 possible isomers for C74（BN）2 were studied by INDO series of methods, to indicate that the most stable three geometries are those where boron and nitrogen atoms substitute carbon atoms located at the same hexagon near the longest axis of C78 （C2v） to form B-N-B-N unit. Electronic spectra of C74（BN）2 were investigated with INDO/CIS method. The reason for the red shift of UV absorptions for C74（BN）2 compared with those of C78 （C2v） was discussed. IR spectra for 9,8,28,29-C74（BN）2 and 28,29,30,31-C74（BN）2 were calculated on the basis of AM1 geometries.

O2在MgO(001)完整和缺陷表面上的吸附

在密度泛函理论的框架下， 采用嵌入点电荷簇模型研究了O2在MgO(001)完整和缺陷表面上的吸附.用电荷自洽的方法确定了点电荷的值.计算结果表明， O2倾向吸附在低配位的角Mg2＋端.并且发现， 当O2为平躺吸附时，键长有较大的拉伸，将有利于O2的解离.同时，分别计算了使用裸簇和嵌入表观±2.0 e点电荷簇模型时的吸附能，并与采用电荷自洽方法的计算值进行了比较.结果表明，电荷自洽方法更能有效反映簇周围的环境，得到的计算结果能够较好地与实验值吻合.最后，分别计算了不同吸附情况下O2的振动频率.     

Surface plasmon resonances of silver triangle nanoplates: graphic assignments of resonance modes and linear fittings of resonance peaks

The extinction spectra of five silver equilateral triangle plates with a fixed thickness of 10 nm and side lengths of 50, 100, 150, 200 ,and 250 nm, respectively, have been simulated by the discrete dipole approximation (DDA) method in which a geometric object of interest is meshed and represented by a lattice of spatial dipoles. Irradiated by an incident plane wave with a given propagation direction and polarization state, each triangle nanoplate presents three surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peaks in the range of 300 to 1200 nm. At a given peak, every complex spatial oscillatory vector derived by DDA (corresponding to a certain dipole in the meshed target) is orthogonally resolved into three basic oscillations. Each basic component can be subsequently expressed by two parameters, amplitude (P) and phase angle (varphi). The distributions of six such physical parameters of all the dipoles in the selected cross plane of the target are illustrated colorfully in plots as a graphic characterization and assignment of the SPR modes. The graphic method is applied to reveal the local fine features of SPR modes. And it provides direct evidence for classifying SPR peaks which belong to different triangle nanoplates and appear at different wavelengths. Three SPR modes are recognized graphically and the wavelengths of SPR peaks are found to have linear relationships with the side lengths of the triangle nanoplates.     

Titanocene-catalyzed regioselective carbomagnesation of alkenes and dienes

A new method for regioselective carbomagnesation of alkenes and dienes has been developed by the use of a titanocene catalyst. This reaction proceeds efficiently at 0 degrees C in THF in the presence of Cp(2)TiCl(2) by the combined use of organic halides (R-X; R = alkyl, aryl and vinyl) and n-BuMgCl to afford benzyl, alpha-silylalkyl, or allyl Grignard reagents, which were trapped with various electrophiles. The present reaction involves (i) addition of carbon radicals toward alkenes or dienes in the carbon-carbon bond-forming step and (ii) transmetalation on Ti of benzyl-, alpha-silylalkyl-, or allyltitanocene with n-BuMgCl in the carbon-magnesium bond-forming step. The scope and limitations of this reaction have also been examined.     

Syntheses and Characterizations of Two Palladium(II) Complexes of 5‐Mercapto‐1‐methyltetrazole

Reaction of PdCl₂(CH₃CN)₂ with the sodium salt of 5‐mercapto‐1‐methyltetrazole (MetzSNa) in methanol solution affords an interesting dinuclear palladium complex [Pd₂(MetzS)₄ ] ( 1 ). However, treatment of PdCl₂(CH₃CN)₂ with neutral MetzSH ligand in methanol solution produces a mononuclear palladium complex [Pd(MetzSH)₄]Cl₂ ( 2 ). Both complexes were characterized by IR, ¹HNMR, UV‐Vis spectroscopy as well as X‐ray crystallography. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analyses of two complexes lead to the elucidation of the structures and show that 1 possesses an asymmetric structure: one Pd atom is tetracoordinated by three sulfur atoms and one nitrogen atom to form PdS₃N coordination sphere, the other Pd atom is tetracoordinated by three nitrogen atoms and one sulfur atom to form PdSN₃ coordination sphere. The molecules of 1 are associated to 1‐D infinite linear chain by weak intermolecular Pd···S contacts in the crystal lattice. In 2 , the Pd atom lies on an inversion center and has a square‐planar coordination involving the S atoms from four MetzSH ligands. The two chloride ions are not involved in coordination, but are engaged in hydrogen bonding.     

Prototype of immunochromatographic assay strips using colloidal CdTe nanocrystals as biological luminescent label

Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals have attracted considerable attention as a novel biological luminescent label. The bioinorganic conjugates of luminescent CdTe nanocrystals and protein, including CdTe/BSA (bovine serum albumin) and CdTe/MAB (mouse monoclonal antibody against hepatities B surface antigen), were formed via electrostatic/coordination self-assembly. Pure CdTe nanocrystals, CdTe/BSA and CdTe/MAB were used in the immunochromatographic assay experiments, respectively. And the results indicated that CdTe nanocrystals could be used and developed as a novel label with good stability, high sensitivity and facile determination of several analytes in immunochromatographic assay strips.     

Fast surface immobilization of native proteins through catalyst-free amino-yne click bioconjugation

Surface immobilization provides a useful platform for biosensing, drug screening, tissue engineering and other chemical and biological applications. However, some of the used reactions are inefficient and/or complicated, limiting their applications in immobilization. Herein, we use a spontaneous and catalyst-free amino-yne click bioconjugation to generate activated ethynyl group functionalized surfaces for fast immobilization of native proteins and cells. Biomolecules, such as bovine serum albumin (BSA), human IgG and a peptide of C(RGDfK), could be covalently immobilized on the surfaces in as short as 30 min. Notably, the bioactivity of the anchored biomolecules remains intact, which is verified by efficiently capturing target antibodies and cells from the bulk solutions. This strategy represents an alternative for highly efficient surface biofunctionalization.

Fast surface immobilization of native bioconjugates through a spontaneous amino-yne click reaction is realized.     

New Dammarane Monodesmosides from the Acidic Deglycosylation of Notoginseng‐Leaf Saponins

Three new dammarane monodesmosides, named notoginsenosides Ft₁ ( 1 ), Ft₂ ( 2 ), and Ft₃ ( 3 ), together with three known ginsenosides, were obtained from a mild acidic hydrolysis of the saponins from notoginseng (Panax notoginseng (Burk .) F. H. Chen ) leaves. Their structures were elucidated to be (3β,12β,20R)‐12,20‐dihydroxydammar‐24‐en‐3‐yl O‐β‐D ‐xylopyranosyl‐(1 → 2)‐O‐β‐D ‐glucopyranosyl‐(1 → 2)‐β‐D ‐glucopyranoside ( 1 ), (3β,12β)‐12,20,25‐trihydroxydammaran‐3‐yl O‐β‐D ‐xylopyranosyl‐(1 → 2)‐O‐β‐D ‐glucopyranosyl‐(1 → 2)‐β‐D ‐glucopyranoside ( 2 ), and (3β,12β,24ξ)‐12,20,24‐trihydroxydammar‐25‐en‐3‐yl O‐β‐D ‐xylopyranosyl‐(1 → 2)‐O‐β‐D ‐glucopyranosyl‐(1 → 2)‐β‐D ‐glucopyranoside ( 3 ), by means of spectroscopic evidences. The known ginsenosides Rh₂ and Rg₃ 4 – 6 were obtained as the major products from this acidic deglycosylation.
