Conversion of phenyl-substituted cyclopentadienes to pyrylium cations

Phenyl-substituted cyclopentadienes are proved to form phenylated pyrylium cations in the presence of silver(I) perchlorate by insertion of an oxygen atom into the cyclopentadiene-ring. Three phenylated pyrylium compounds, [(Ph(5)C(5)O(+))(ClO(4)(-))](2)(CH(2)Cl(2)) (1), Ag(ClO(4))(H(2)O)(Ph(4)HC(5)O(+)) (ClO(4)(-)) (2), and (Ph(3)H(2)C(5)O(+))(ClO(4)(-)) (3) have been synthesized and characterized. A possible reaction pathway and formation mechanism of the pyrylium cation are proposed and discussed.     

Hemin-histamine-montmorillonite clay conjugate as a model biocatalyst to mimic natural peroxidase

We successfully synthesized the first hemin-montmorillonite bio-conjugate with an amino acid residue to mimic natural peroxidase enzyme. Histamine was intercalated in montmorillonite by cation exchange, then a hemin molecule was loaded onto the histamine-montmorillonite with an adsorption capacity of 7.0 mg g-1. The hemin-histamine-montmorillonite conjugate shows high peroxidase activity as indicated by the oxidation of guaiacol, which is attributed to the activation of hemin by Fe–N complex formation between the imidazole group in histamine and the iron ion in the hemin molecule. Temperature- dependent peroxidase activity for this synthesized biomimetic material indicates that raising the reaction temperature could significantly enhance the activity of the conjugate. The biomimetic catalyst has good reusability; nearly 100% activity can be retained after three cycles. Because montmorillonite clay is widely distributed in the environment, this material offers great potential for in situ and ex situ remediation of many organic contaminants in surface/subsurface soils.     

橙红色荧光粉Ca_(1-x-y)Sm_xBi_ySiO_3的制备及其发光性能

以Sm3+作为激活剂,Bi3+作为辅助激活剂,采用水热法合成Ca1-x-ySmxBiySi O3前驱体,然后在1 100℃焙烧得到系列橙红色荧光粉。用X-射线衍射仪、扫描电镜和荧光分光光度计和傅里叶变换红外光谱等手段对样品的组成、结构和形貌及其发光性质进行分析和表征。分析结果表明:产物都为三斜晶系结构的Ca1-x-ySmxBiySi O3和四方结构的方石英Si O2共熔体。在405 nm近紫外光激发下,产物的发射光谱由3个峰组成,发射峰值位于566、606和650 nm处,分别归属于Sm3+的4G5/2→6HJ/2(J=5,7,9)跃迁。产物的激发光谱在405 nm有很强的发射带,与近紫外LED芯片匹配。随着Sm3+掺量的增加,样品发光强度先增强后减弱,当Sm3+的物质的量分数为3%时发光强度达到最大,浓度猝灭机理为电偶极-电偶极相互作用。当Bi3+的物质的量分数在0.3%~1.5%时,对产物Ca0.97Sm0.03Si O3的荧光强度起敏化作用。Sm3+和Bi3+的最佳物质的量分数分别为3%和0.5%。     

Preparation,characterization and hydrodesulfurization performances of Co-Ni2P/SBA-15 catalysts

A series of Co-Ni2P/SBA-15 catalysts with various Co contents, Ni2P contents and P/Ni molar ratios were prepared by impregnating nickel nitrate, diammonium hydrogen phosphate, and then cobalt nitrate into SBA-15 support followed by temperature-programmed reduction in a H2 flow. The catalyst structure was characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), high resolution-transmission electron microscopy(HR-TEM)and N2adsorption-desorption techniques and their catalytic performance of the hydrodesulfurization(HDS) of dibenzothiophene(DBT) was evaluated. The effects of Co contents, Ni2 P contents and P/Ni molar ratios on the catalyst structure and HDS of DBT over the Co-Ni2P/SBA-15 catalyst were investigated. The results indicated that the mesoporous structure was mainly maintained and the nickel phosphides were well dispersed in all of the characterized catalysts. The 4Co-25Ni2P/SBA-15(P/Ni = 0.8) catalyst with the Co and Ni2 P contents of 4 wt% and25 wt%, respectively, and the P/Ni molar ratio of 0.8 showed the highest catalytic performance for HDS of DBT. Under the reaction conditions of 380?C and 3.0 MPa, the DBT conversion can reach 99.62%. The HDS of DBT proceeded mainly via the direct desulfurization(DDS)pathway with biphenyl(BP) as the dominant product on all of the catalysts and the BP selectivity was slightly enhanced after the introduction of Co promoters.     

Dy(Ⅲ)离子在LiCl-KCl熔盐中的电化学行为及Dy-Ni金属间化合物的选择性制备

采用循环伏安、方波伏安和开路计时电位等电化学方法研究了Dy(Ⅲ)离子在LiCl-KCl 共晶盐中的电化学行为及Dy-Ni 合金形成的电化学机理. 循环伏安和方波伏安法研究表明, Dy(Ⅲ)离子的电化学还原过程为三个电子转移的一步反应. 与惰性W电极相比, Dy(Ⅲ) 离子在Ni 电极上的循环伏安曲线多出了三对氧化还原峰,是由于Dy与Ni 形成了合金化合物, 导致Dy(Ⅲ)离子在活性Ni 电极发生了欠电位沉积. 采用X射线衍射(XRD)和扫描电子显微镜(SEM)附带能量散射谱(EDS)对恒电位(-1.6, -1.8 和-2.0 V)电解制备的Dy-Ni 合金进行分析, 分别获得了DyNi₅, Dy₂Ni₇和DyNi₂金属间化合物. 实验结果表明, 通过控制电位进行恒电位电解可以有选择性地制备不同的金属间化合物.     

与蛋白质调控DNA空穴迁移相关的具有负离解能特征的亚稳态氢键

利用密度泛函理论方法研究了作为空穴迁移载体的蛋白质复合的DNA三聚体(Protonated arginine…guanine…cytosine, ArgH⁺-GC)的氢键性质. 结果表明, 空穴迁移通过该载体单元时此类氢键表现为亚稳态, 且具有明显的负离解能. 正常情况下ArgH⁺基团在大小沟均能与GC碱对形成氢键, 且具有正的离解能. 然而, 当空穴转移至此将削弱氢键至亚稳态, 使之具有一定的离解势垒和负的离解能. 这种势垒抑制的负离解能现象意味着由于空穴俘获导致此三聚体结构单元在它的ArgH⁺…N7/O6键区储存了一定的能量(约108.78 kJ/mol). 该氢键离解通道受控于此键区两个相关组分之间的静电排斥和氢键吸引之间的平衡以及这两个相反作用随氢键距离不同的衰减速率. 基于电子密度分布的拓扑性质以及键临界点的Laplacian数值分析澄清了此类特殊的能量现象主要源自通过高能氢键(ArgH⁺…N7/O6)连接的授受体间的静电排斥. 进一步空穴俘获诱导的G→C质子转移可扩展负离解能区至ArgH⁺…N7/O6和Watson-Crick(WC) 氢键区. 另外, ArgH⁺ 结合到GC的大小沟增加其电离势, 因此削弱其空穴传导能力, 削弱程度取决于ArgH⁺与GC的距离. 推而广之, 在protonated lysine-GC和protonated histidine-GC体系也可观察到类似的现象. 显然, 此类性质可调的亚稳态氢键可调控DNA空穴迁移机理. 此工作为理解蛋白质调控的DNA空穴迁移机理提供了重要的能量学信息.     

Thermodynamic studies of monuron

Monuron (C₉H₁₁ClN₂O; N,N-dimethyl-N′-(4-chlorophenyl) urea, CAS 150-68-5) was synthesized and the heat capacities of the compound were measured in the temperature range from 79 to 385 K with a high precision automated adiabatic calorimeter. No phase transition or thermal anomaly was observed in this range. The enthalpy and entropy data of the compound relative to the reference temperature 298.15 K were derived based on the heat capacity data. The thermodynamic properties of the compound were further investigated through DSC and TG analysis. The melting point, the molar enthalpy, and entropy of fusion were determined to be 447.6±0.1 K, 29.3±0.2 kJ mol⁻¹, and 65.4 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹, respectively.     

Mononuclear gold(I) acetylide complexes with urea group: synthesis, characterization, photophysics, and anion sensing properties

A series of mononuclear gold(I) acetylide complexes with urea moiety, R'(3)PAuC≡CC(6)H(4)-4-NHC(O)NHC(6)H(4)-4-R (R' = cyclohexyl, R = NO(2) (2a), CF(3) (2b), Cl (2c), H (2d), CH(3) (2e), (t)Bu (2f), OCH(3) (2g); R' = phenyl, R = NO(2) (3a), OCH(3) (3b); R' = 4-methoxyphenyl, R = H (4a), OCH(3) (4b)), have been synthesized and characterized. The crystal structures of Ph(3)PAuC≡CC(6)H(4)-4-NHC(O)NHC(6)H(4)-4-NO(2) (3a) and (4-CH(3)OC(6)H(4))(3)PAuC≡CC(6)H(4)-4-NHC(O)NHC(6)H(5) (4a) have been determined by X-ray diffraction. Complexes 2a-2g, 3b, and 4a-4b show intense luminescence both in the solid state and in degassed THF solution at 298 K. Anion binding properties of complexes 2a-2g, 3a-3b, and 4a-4b have been studied by UV-vis and (1)H NMR titration experiments. In general, the log K values of 2a-2g with the same anion in THF depend on the substituent R on the acetylide ligand of 2a-2g: R = NO(2) (2a) > CF(3) (2b) ≥ Cl (2c) > H (2d) > CH(3) (2e) ≈ (t)Bu (2f) ≥ OCH(3) (2g). Complex 2a with NO(2) group shows the dramatic color change toward F(-) in DMSO, which provides an access of naked eye detection of F(-).     

Development of ELISA and immunochromatographic assay for ofloxacin

Two rapid,sensitive and reliable immunoassay methods,namely competitive indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(CI- ELISA)and colloidal gold-based immunochromatographic assay(CGIA),were developed to detect ofloxacin(OFL).The linear range of the CI-ELISAwas from 0.5 to 128 ng/mL with a limit of detection(LOD)of 0.35 ng/mL.Good recoveries were obtained in analyzing simulated swine urine samples.The CGIA could accurately estimate OFL at concentrations as low as 10 ng/mL in less than 10 min,and test results were read visually without any instrument.     

Study on the interaction of trypsin with some DNAs and their analytical application by resonance Rayleigh scattering spectra

When trypsin reacts with Herring sperm DNA (hsDNA), Salmon sperm DNA (sDNA), and Calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) to form a complex, the resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) was remarkably enhanced and new RRS spectra appear. These new spectra have similar characteristics of RRS spectra. The maximum RRS peaks are at 307 nm (hsDNA, sDNA) and 290 nm (ctDNA), and other peaks are at 350 nm. The scattering intensity is proportional to the concentration of DNA or trypsin; so this intereaction can be used to determine trypsin using DNA or DNA using trypsin. In the determination of DNA using trypsin, the linear ranges for hsDNA, sDNA, and ctDNA are 0–2.3, 0–2.5, and 0–1.9 μg·mL⁻¹, and the detection limits are 0.4, 0.7, and 1.1 ng·mL⁻¹, respectively. In the determination of trypsin using hsDNA, the linear range is 0–30.0 μg·mL⁻¹, and the detection limit is 39.0 ng·mL⁻¹. In this paper, the intereaction conditions were optimized. The affecting factors, chemical properties of the complex, and the composition ratio of trypsin with DNA were investigated. Using trypsin as RRS probe, a sensitive method for the determination of trace amounts of DNA was developed. Translated from Chemical Journal of Chinese Universities, 2006, 27(3) (in Chinese)
