Studies of the reaction mechanism between copper(II) sulphate and excess copper(I) sulphide

The reaction process between CuSO₄ and excess Cu₂S in the temperature range 650–750 K was investigated by methods of thermal analysis and by studying the phase contentss of the products as a function of the fractional conversion. The reaction proceeds in three steps, with Cu₂S and a new phase described by the formula Cu₂SO₂ as intermediates. This new phase is liquid under the conditions of the reaction. The final product of the reaction is a defective crystalline Cu₂O.

Modification of Escherichia coli single-stranded DNA binding protein with gold nanoparticles for electrochemical detection of DNA hybridization

The unique binding event between Escherichia coli single-stranded DNA binding protein (SSB) and single-stranded oligonucleotides conjugated to gold (Au) nanoparticles is utilized for the electrochemical detection of DNA hybridization. SSB was attached onto a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of single-stranded oligonucleotide modified Au nanoparticle, and the resulting Au-tagged SSB was used as the hybridization label. Changes in the Au oxidation signal was monitored upon binding of Au tagged SSB to probe and hybrid on the electrode surface. The amplified oxidation signal of Au nanoparticles provided a detection limit of 2.17 pM target DNA, which can be applied to genetic diagnosis applications. This work presented here has important implications with regard to combining a biological binding event between a protein and DNA with a solid transducer and metal nanoparticles.     

非理想状态下的塔板理论模型

 在过程中 ,将流动相看成是由许多连续的塔板组成 ,每一塔板的高度与固定相塔板的高度相同。初始浓度的溶质被认为全部集中在流动相的第一塔板中 ;溶质在流动相和固定相之间动态分布。由于动力学因素的影响 ,当流动相流过一个塔板距离时 ,溶质不能够迅速地从固定相释放到流动相中 ,因此溶质在流动相和固定相中的分布浓度受到两个因素即反映系统热力学性质的分配系数P和反映系统动力学性质的释放概率因子α的影响。这一过程被认为是非理想状态下的过程。     

Efficient syntheses of (±)-hydrangenol, (±)-phyllodulcin and (±)-macrophyllol

In this paper we report on a efficient and flexible synthetic route towards the total syntheses of the dihydrocoumarine derivatives hydrangenol (1), phyllodulcin (1a) and macrophyllol (6b). The syntheses started with a readily available phosphonium salt 2 and suitable modified benzaldehydes 3/3a/3b resulting in 46 to 61% overall yields in three to four-steps sequences. The racemic products could be separated by chiral HPLC. The evidence of the (R)-enantiomer for sweetness could be demonstrated for 1a.     

Thermal properties of poly-N-vinylcarbazole derivatives

Thermal studies were carried out on some products of chemical modification of poly-N-vinylcarbazole (PNVC). The effect of a substituent introduced into the carbazole ring on the thermal stability of the polymers was investigated. The kinetic parameters of the thermal degradation process were computed.

Solubility of Solid 2,3-Dimethylbutane and Cyclopentane in Liquid Argon and Nitrogen at the Standard Boiling Points of the Solvents

The solubilities of solid 2,3-dimethylbutane and cyclopentene in liquid argon at a temperature of 87.3 K and in liquid nitrogen at 77.4 K have been measured by the filtration method. The hydrocarbon contents in solutions were determined using gas chromatography. GC–MS was used to identify impurities in solutes. The experimental value of the mole fraction solubility of solid 2,3-dimethyl-butane in liquid argon at 87.3 K is (8.26 ± 1.60) × 10^–6 and (2.77 ± 0.94) × 10^–8 in liquid nitrogen at 77.4 K. The experimental value of the mole fraction solubility of solid cyclopentene in liquid argon at 87.3 K is (5.11 ± 0.44) × 10^–6 and (4.60 ± 0.76) × 10^–8 in liquid nitrogen at 77.4 K. The Preston–Prausnitz method was used for calculation of the solubilities of solid hydrocarbons in liquid argon in the temperature range 84.0–110.0 K and in liquid nitrogen from 64.0 to 90.0 K. The solvent–solute interaction parameters l ₁₂ were also calculated. At 90.0 K liquid argon is a better solvent for investigated solid hydrocarbons than is liquid nitrogen.     

Manganese(III) acetate mediated synthesis of 3-trifluoroacetyl-4,5-dihydrofurans and 3-(dihydrofuran-2(3H)-ylidene)-1,1,1-trifluoroacetones by free radical cyclization. Part 1

2-Trifluoroacetyl-4,5-dihydrofurans were obtained by manganese(III) acetate mediated radical cyclization of trifluoromethyl-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds (1a-c) with conjugated alkenes (2a-h). The reaction of 1,1,1-trifluoropentane-2,4-dione (1a) with propenylbenzene and 1,1-diphenyl-1-butene surprisingly yielded 3-(dihydrofuran-2(3H)-ylidene)-1,1,1-trifluoroacetones besides 3-trifluoroacetyl-4,5-dihydrofurans.     

Alcohol-soluble functional vic-dioxime bearing alcoholhexylsulfanyl moieties: preparation, spectroscopy and electrochemistry

A new alcohol soluble functionalized vic-dioxime, bis-[(1-hydroxyhexyl)-(8,9-hydroxyimino)-7,10-dithiahexacosane (LH₂), and its alcohol-soluble mono and dinuclear complexes (Ni^II, Cu^II, Co^II, Mn^II, Pd^II and UO ₂ ^II ) have been prepared from 6-mercapto-1-hexanol and (E,E)-dichloroglyoxime under high dilution basic conditions. Reactive polyalcohol moieties appended at the periphery of the oxime containing two different heteroatoms (S-, O-), serve as a weak exocyclic binding sites for Pd^II and Ag^I metal ions and also provide solubility for the vic-dioxime complexes in low molecular-weight alcohols. Both mono-nuclear (LH)₂M and homodinuclear (LH)₂(UO₂)₂(OH)₂ and heterotrinuclear (LH)₂MM ₂ ^′ Xn, where M = Co^II M′ = Pd^II, X = Cl⁻, n = 4 and Ag^I X = NO ₃ ⁻ , n = 2) complexes have been obtained with a 1:2, 2:2, 3:2 metal/ligand ratio, respectively. Electronic spectra of the modified vic-dioximes exhibit monitorable changes in UV. All mono and dinuclear-complexes are soluble in common organic solvents. The elemental analysis, ¹H-n.m.r, i.r., u.v–vis, and f.a.b.–m.s data and by cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry measurements are presented.     

Dissociation constants of some Schiff bases and stability constants of their copper,cobalt, nickel and zinc complexes

The stoichiometry and stability constant of metal complexes with 4-(3-methoxy-salicylideneamino)-5-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulfonic acid monosodium salt (H₂L) and 4-(3-methoxysalicylideneamino)-5-hydroxy-6-(2,5-dichlorophenylazo)-2,7-naphthalene disulfonic acid monosodium salt (H₂L¹) were studied by potentiometric titration. The stability constants of H₂L and H₂L¹ Schiff bases have been investigated by potentiometric titration and u.v.–vis spectroscopy in aqueous media. The dissociation constants of the ligand and the stability constants of the metal complexes were calculated pH-metrically at 25 °C and 0.1 m KCl ionic strength. The dissociation constants for H₂L were obtained as 3.007, 7.620 and 9.564 and for H₂L¹, 4.000, 6.525, 9.473 and 10.423, respectively. The complexes were found to have the formulae [M(L)₂] for M = Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II) and Cu(II). The stability of the complexes follows the sequence: Zn(II) < Co(II) < Cu(II) < Ni(II). The high stability of H₂L¹ towards Cu(II) and Ni(II) over the other ions is remarkable, in particular over Cu(II), and may be of technological interest. Concentration distribution diagram of various species formed in solution was evaluated for ligands and complexes. The formation of the hydrogen bonds may cause this increased stability of ligands. The pH-metric data were used to find the stoichiometry, deprotonation and stability constants via the SUPERQUAD computer program.
