The magnetic properties of a series of inorganic saturated rings, (SiH2)n, (GeH2)n, (NH)n, (PH)n, (AsH)n, On, Sn, and Sen (n = 3-6), exhibit zigzag behavior with ring size resembling that of aromatic and antiaromatic Hückel pi-systems and (CH2)n rings. Computed GIAO-SCF nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICS) and localized (LMO) NICS analysis indicate that the sigma-ring electrons are chiefly responsible for this zigzag behavior. This evidence for sigma-aromaticity is further supported by theoretical strain energy (TSE). The Hückel 4n + 2/4n aromaticity/antiaromaticity rule for pi-electron systems applies well to the smaller saturated rings. 相似文献
Proton NMR. spectra of purine, adenine, guanine and methylsubstituted guanines have been measured in CF3COOH, FSO3H and FSO3H? SbF5? SO2 at 27° and low temperatures. These conditions permit to study multiple protonation of purines, using chemical shifts of CH, NH and OH protons. The spectra of mono-, di- and tri-cations are described and fully assigned. 相似文献
Whenever free radicals are formed, independent of whether this occurs thermally, is induced by UV or ionizing irradiation, or takes place in redox reactions, they are converted rapidly into the corresponding peroxyl radicals in the presence of oxygen. Peroxyl radical reactions in aqueous environments are observed not only in aquatic systems (e.g., rivers, lakes and oceans) but also in the living cell and to a considerable degree even in the atmosphere (in water droplets). The peroxyl radical chemistry occurring in this medium is often very different from that observed in the gas phase or in organic solvents. In spite of the great importance of these reactions in medicine (for example in anti-cancer irradiation therapy and ischaemia) there have been comparatively few studies of peroxyl reactions in aqueous media. Radiation-chemical techniques such as pulse radiolysis offer the best means for carrying out such studies, so that it is not surprising that the majority of the information available in this area has been obtained with the help of radiation-chemical methods. The radiation chemistry of water can be con trolled in such a manner that the main products are ˙OH radicals (90 % yield), which react with substrate molecules to give substrate radicals and in the presence of oxygen to give substrate peroxyl radicals. The experimental conditions can also be varied in such a way that HO/O radicals can be formed in 100 % yield and caused to react with substrates. We therefore have a simple access to these intermediates, which are extremely important in biological systems. A detailed product analysis, supported by kinetic studies carried out with the help of pulse radiolysis, has been used to clarify the chemistry of a series of peroxyl radicals, so that sufficient material is now available to justify a review of the variety of the peroxyl radical reactions studied by means of radiation-chemical methods. A more general survey of the physical properties of the peroxyl radicals and their unimolecular and bimolecular reactions will be followed by a discussion of selected examples of various classes of substance. Because of the great biological importance of radical-induced DNA damage this area will also be treated briefly. 相似文献
On alkalinization of solutions of the chromiun(III)-aquo ion simple deprotonation takes place first. The degree of hydroxylation n OH however can be brought up to only about 1 (the exact value depending on the total concentration [Cr]t), before the uncharged complex Cr(OH)3(OH2)3 is precipitated. The structure of the very sparingly soluble complex (solubility ~10?7M ) is held together by hydrogen bonds of type I between the molecules, so that its formula may be written as Cr(OH)2H6/2-lattice. The formation of the well ordered structure is extremely fast. On aging, the metallic centers become connected by μ-hydroxo-bridges (type II) and the substances become amorphous and very insoluble. The dinuclear (H2O)4Cr(OH)2Cr(OH2)44+ behaves similar on deprotonation. Concerning the various equilibria constants see Table 1. 相似文献
Arrays of highly ordered Zn(1-x)MnxS quantum wires with x ranging from 0.01 to 0.3 and with lateral dimensions of 3, 6, and 9 nm were synthesized within mesoporous SiO2 host structures of the MCM-41 and SBA-15 type. The hexagonal symmetry of these arrays (space group p6m) and the high degree of order was confirmed by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies. Physisorption measurements show the progressive filling of the pores of the SiO2 host structures, while TEM and Raman studies reveal the wire-like character of the incorporated Zn(1-x)MnxS nanostructures. X-ray absorption near-edge structure, extended X-ray absorption fine structure, photoluminescence excitation (PLE), and electron paramagnetic resonance studies confirm the good crystalline quality of the incorporated Zn(1-x)MnxS guest species and, in particular, that the Mn2+ ions are randomly distributed and are situated on tetrahedrally coordinated cation sites of the Zn(1-x)MnxS wires for all x up to 0.3. The amount of Mn2+ ions loosely bound to the surface of the Zn(1-x)MnxS nanowires is less than 4% of the total Mn content even for the 3 nm nanostructures up to the highest Mn content of x = 0.3. The effects of the reduction of the lateral dimensions on electronic properties of the diluted magnetic semiconductor were studied by PLE spectroscopy. Due to the quantum confinement of the excitons in the wires an increase of the direct band gap with decreasing particle size is observed. 相似文献
The carboxyl radical anion, CO2*- was produced by the reactions of OH radicals with either CO or formic acid in aqueous solution. The pKa(*CO2H) was determined by pulse radiolysis with conductometric detection at pH approximately equals 2.3. The bimolecular decay rate constant of CO2*- (2k approximately equals 1.4 x 10(9) dm3mol(-1)s(-1)) was found to be independent of pH in the range 3-8 at constant ionic strength. The yields of the products of the bimolecular decay of the carboxyl radicals, CO2 and the oxalate anion were found to depend strongly on the pH of the solution with an inflection point at pH 3.8. This pH dependence is explained by assuming a head-to-tail recombination of the CO2*- radicals followed by either rearrangement to oxalate or a protonation of the adduct, which subsequently leads to the formation of CO2 and formate. The recombination of CO2*- to give oxalate directly is estimated to have a contribution of <25%. 相似文献
We present photoelectron spectroscopy studies on Zn(n) (-) in the size range of n=3-117. We show that zinc clusters exhibit a distinct transition in their electronic structure as a function of size. At small sizes (up to n=18) the clusters follow the Bloch-Wilson picture of the development of a metal from closed-shell atoms, exhibiting a gradual decrease of the gap between the fully occupied s band and the empty p band. For large sizes (n approximately or > 32) the band overlap allows the valence electrons to fully delocalize. This leads to an almost perfect free-electron density of states, as is demonstrated by discussing the spectra in the light of standard free-electron models and by comparison to the results obtained on sodium clusters. 相似文献
The perchlorate anion (ClO
4–
) is an anthropogenic contaminant of increasing concern in water supplies, and has been shown to disrupt thyroid activity. Most perchlorate analyses are currently carried out by ion chromatography (IC) with suppressed conductivity detection (SCD). While this procedure has been demonstrated to provide acceptable performance for analysis of water samples, the determination of perchlorate in high-conductivity aqueous extracts of plant or animal material is not readily accomplished by IC-SCD unless lengthy cleanup protocols are applied. With the addition of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) to IC, it was hypothesized that the interference imposed by various ionic species could be significantly reduced without the need for purification; however, the analysis of perchlorate in relatively unpurified extracts of biologically derived homogenates by IC-ESI-MS has not previously been described in the literature. The research presented here represents a comparison of the capabilities of IC-SCD and IC-ESI-MS to detect perchlorate in reagent water and in crude extracts of perchlorate-exposed fish (threespine stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus). ESI-MS was found to compare favorably to SCD for the detection of perchlorate in deionized water, and to exceed SCD performance in perchlorate analysis of fish-derived extracts. 相似文献
A high-performance liquid chromatographic assay for the determination of isoniazid, acetylisoniazid, acetylhydrazine and diacetylhydrazine (plasma and urine) was developed. The m-chlorobenzoyl derivatives of isoniazid, acetylhydrazine and the internal standard propionylhydrazine were prepared, separated on a RP-18 column and detected at 220 nm. Acetylisoniazid, diacetylhydrazine and the internal standard dipropionylhydrazine were converted to isoniazid, acetylhydrazine, and propionylhydrazine by acidic hydrolysis and subsequently derivatized with m-fluorobenzoyl chloride, separated on a RP-18 column and detected at 220 nm. The lower limits of detection in plasma are acetylhydrazine 0.5 nmol/ml, isoniazid 1.0 nmol/ml, diacetylhydrazine 1.0 nmol/ml and acetylisoniazid 2.0 nmol/ml, and in urine, acetylhydrazine 10 nmol/ml, isoniazid 15 nmol/ml, diacetylhydrazine 20 nmol/ml and acetylisoniazid 40 nmol/ml. This method is sensitive, reproducible, accurate and precise; therefore, it is well suited for detailed pharmacokinetic studies. 相似文献
