Preparation of thin SnO2 layers by inorganic sol-gel process

SnO₂ sols were prepared in the following way: (1) precipitation of metastannic acid with aqueous ammonia from aqueous solutions of SnCl₄, (2) washing the precipitates with NH₄NO₃ solution and water, (3) peptization of precipitates in water, sometimes with an addition of HNO₃, at elevated temperature using mechanical stirring. In those sols, sometimes diluted with water or ethanol, substrates (glass or silica derived wafers) were dipped and withdrawn at various rates. Gel coatings were converted into crystalline SnO₂ by thermal treatment at 600°C. Coatings with thickness between 300–2000 Å were prepared.     

A fluorescence enhanced probe for sulfur dioxide detection and fluorescence imaging in living cellsEI北大核心CSCD

基于香豆素和苯并吡啶基团,构建了用于二氧化硫(SO_(2))高效检测的荧光探针P1,其化学结构通过核磁氢谱(^(1)H NMR)、碳谱(^(13)C NMR)和高分辨质谱(HR-MS)确证。在缓冲溶液体系中,单独的探针P1具有微弱的荧光,识别SO_(2)后荧光发射强度明显增强,能够实现对SO_(2)的专一性裸眼识别,检出限为126 nmol/L。生物应用实验结果表明,该探针具有较低的细胞毒性,可用于生物活细胞中外源性SO_(2)的荧光成像。     

Influence of organic modifier and temperature on the enantiomeric separation of γ-lactams by HPLC

Summary A high-performance liquid chromatographic method is reported for the resolution of the enantiomers of a series of fused -lactams (2,7-diaza-3-oxo[3.3.0]octan-6-ones) with probable anti-HIV and anticancer activity. Resolution was achieved on a Chiralcel^® OD column, cellulose tris-(3,5-dimethylphenyl carbamate) adsorbed on macroporous silica gel; mixtures ofn-hexane and isopropyl alcohol in different proportions were used as the mobile phase. The analysis was studied at different temperatures.     

The novel application of Fourier thermal analysis in foundry technologies

The process of casting in sand moulds is used for a large volume of castings manufactured in the world. Internal channels and complex geometries of these products are formed by the placement of cores within the mould cavity. Resin-bound sand mixtures are essential ingredients in engine component manufacturing. In this study, a state-of-the-art application of Fourier thermal analysis in foundry technologies is presented. Investigation of decomposition phenomena of resin-bound moulding materials during casting production is a brand new area to use the potential of thermal sciences. Temperature measurements in test samples of standard types of moulding mixtures were performed. The registered cooling curves were processed by a numerical iteration algorithm to determine the amount of heat absorbed during degradation of the moulding material. Thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) of sand mixtures were carried out to compare the results of the Fourier thermal analysis with TG and DTA curves.     

Teicoplanin-Based Enantiomeric Separations in CZE Using a Partial Filling Technique

Baseline separation of the enantiomers of a number of negatively charged amino and mandelic acid derivatives was achieved in less than 10 min by capillary electrophoresis in a polyacrylamide coated capillary, using the “partial filling method” (PFM) with submillimolar concentration of Teicoplanin (TE) as the chiral selector. The influence of the charge and concentration of TE, electrolyte solution composition and pH, on the enantioresolution was examined. Further proofs were brought to corroborate the hypothesis that the enantiorecognition takes place at the D-Ala-D-Ala binding site, whose blockade is responsible for the antibacterial activity of glycopeptide antibiotics. While the dependence of the chiral recognition capabilities of TE on electrolyte solution composition and pH could limit its applicability, improved sensitivity, reduction of TE wall adsorption, resulting in a good efficiency, and high cost reduction, due to the very small amount of chiral selector required, were shown as advantages of the PFM adopted in this study.

Convenient diastereospecific synthesis of a rociverine precursor and its resolution by lipase-catalyzed transesterification

(±)-1-Cyclohexyl-c-2-hydroxymethyl-r-1-cyclohexanol 3, a precursor of the antimuscarinic drug Rociverine 1, was obtained diastereospecifically in very high yield, from the Grignard reaction between C₆H₁₁MgCl and an appropriately protected 2-(hydroxymethyl)cyclohexanone. The preparation of enantiomerically enriched cis diol (+)-(1R,2S)-3 and the corresponding 2-acetoxymethyl derivative (+)-(1S,2R)-12 was achieved by lipase PPL-catalyzed transesterification of racemic diol (±)-3.     

Distribution of n-alkanes, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons and nitrated polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons between the fine and coarse fractions of inhalable atmospheric particulates.

The distribution ratios of n-alkanes, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and nitrated PAH components between fine and coarse fractions of soot has been investigated in downtown Rome through three field campaigns carried out at different times of the year. The preferential accumulation of almost all species investigated onto fine particles has been observed in all field experiments performed. Moreover, nitrated PAHs had varied distributions, according to the origin of their occurrence in the atmosphere; in fact, congeners of photochemical origin accumulated more in fine particles than those released by primary sources.
