In this study, spherical gold nanoparticles (GNPs) of 14.7 nm diameter, prepared by citrate reduction of a gold(III) salt
and characterized by UV–Vis absorption spectrometry and transmission electron microscopy, were modified by a covalent attachment
of 6I-O-(3-mercaptopropyl)β-cyclodextrin (β-CD-SH) or per-6-deoxy-per-6-mercapto-β-cyclodextrin (β-CD-SH7). Subsequently, via three
alternative approaches, β-CD-modified GNPs were immobilized onto the inner wall of the fused-silica (FS) capillaries and applied
as special stationary phases for open-tubular capillary electrochromatography (OT-CEC). The first immobilization procedure
was based on pre-derivatization of a FS capillary with (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (MPTMS) followed by subsequent reactions
with GNPs and β-CD-SH or β-CD-SH7. The other two preparation protocols took advantage of sol–gel approach gaining a significant
increase in the interaction surface for solutes. In both instances, the sol–gel created 3D structure was further covalently
modified with GNPs. Serving that purpose, either β-CD-SH7 modified GNPs were used for the immobilization into the sol–gel
matrix (“one-step sol–gel technique”) or native GNPs were immobilized first into the sol–gel matrix and subsequently modified
with β-CD-SH7 (“two-step sol–gel technique”). The separation performance of CD-GNPs modified FS capillaries was tested by
OT-CEC in reversed-phase mode applied to separation of a model mixture of five polyaromatic hydrocarbons. The highest separation
efficiencies were obtained with the capillaries prepared by two-step sol–gel technique. However, with respect to the relatively
low reproducibility of this method, the first of the above preparation procedures, i.e., a simple pre-derivatization of the
FS capillary with MPTMS ensued with β-CD-SH7-GNPs immobilization seems to be more feasible approach providing decent separation
efficiency. 相似文献
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) was employed for the determination of thermodynamic acidity constants (pKa) and actual ionic mobilities of polycationic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). The effective electrophoretic mobilities of AMPs were measured by CE in a series of the background electrolytes within a wide pH range (2.00–12.25), at constant ionic strength (25 mM) and ambient temperature, using polybrene coated fused silica capillaries to suppress sorption of cationic AMPs to the capillary wall. Eventually, Haarhoff–Van der Linde peak fitting function was used for the determination of correct migration times of some AMPs peaks that were distorted by electromigration dispersion. The measured effective mobilities were corrected to 25°C. Mixed acidity constants, , and actual ionic mobilities, mi, of AMPs were determined by the nonlinear regression analysis of pH dependence of their effective mobilities. The values were recalculated to thermodynamic pKas using the Debye–Hückel theory. Thermodynamic pKa of imidazolium group of histidine residues was found to be in the range 3.72–4.98, pKa of α‐NH3+ group was in the range 6.14–6.93, and pKa of ε‐NH3+ group of lysine spanned the interval 7.26–9.84, depending on the particular amino acid sequence of the AMPs. Actual ionic mobilities of AMPs with positive charges from one to six elementary units achieved values (9.8 – 36.5) × 10?9 m2V?1s?1. 相似文献
The oxidation of aniline with silver nitrate in 1 mol L−1 acetic acid at 20 °C yielded a composite of two conducting components, polyaniline and silver; the acceleration with 1 mol% of p-phenylenediamine is needed for efficient synthesis. The yield and molecular weight increased when aniline was copolymerized with 10 mol% p-phenylenediamine. Such product displayed metallic conductivity below 180 K and semiconductor type above this temperature. As the result, the conductivity was the same at 100 and 300 K. The oxidation of p-phenylenediamine alone with silver nitrate also produced a conducting composite having the conductivity of 1,750 S cm−1 despite the assumed nonconductivity of poly(p-phenylenediamine). The present study demonstrates that all oxidations proceeded also in frozen reaction mixtures at −24 °C, i.e., in the solid state. In most cases, molecular weights of polymer component increased, the conductivity of composites with silver improved, to 2,990 S cm−1 for poly(p-phenylenediamine)–silver, and remained high after deprotonation with 1 mol L−1 ammonium hydroxide.
The direct utilization of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) for electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) has attracted increasing interests. Herein, we employ the low-dose integrated differential phase contrast-scanning transmission electron microscopy (iDPC-STEM) technique to visualize the atomic structure of multivariate MOFs (MTV-MOFs) for guiding the structural design of bulk MOFs for efficient OER. The iDPC-STEM images revealed that incorporating Fe3+ or 2-aminoterephthalate (ATA) into Ni-BDC (BDC: benzenedicarboxylate) can introduce inhomogeneous lattice strain that weaken the coordination bonds, which can be selectively cleaved via a mild heat treatment to simultaneously generate coordinatively unsaturated metal sites, conductive Ni@C and hierarchical porous structure. Thus, excellent OER activity with current densities of 10 and 100 mA cm−2 are achieved over the defective MOFs at small overpotentials of 286 mV and 365 mV, respectively, which is superior to the commercial RuO2 catalyst and most of the bulk MOFs. 相似文献
Electrochemical studies of famotidine were carried out using voltammetric techniques: cyclic voltammetry, linear sweep and square wave adsorptive stripping voltammetry. The dependence of the current on pH, buffer concentration, nature of the buffer, and scan rate was investigated. The best results for the determination of famotidine were obtained in MOPS buffer solution at pH 6.7. This electroanalytical procedure enabled to determine famotidine in the concentration range 1 × 10−9–4 × 10−8 mol L−1 by linear sweep adsorptive stripping voltammetry (LS AdSV) and 5 × 10−10–6 × 10−8 mol L−1 by square wave adsorptive stripping voltammetry (SW AdSV). Repeatability, precision and accuracy of the developed methods were checked. The detection and quantification limits were found to be 1.8 × 10−10 and 6.2 × 10−10 mol L−1 for LS AdSV and 4.9 × 10−11 and 1.6 × 10−10 mol L−1 for SW AdSV, respectively. The method was applied for the determination of famotidine in urine. 相似文献
Bis(NHC)ruthenium(II)–porphyrin complexes were designed, synthesized, and characterized. Owing to the strong donor strength of axial NHC ligands in stabilizing the trans M?CRR′/M?NR moiety, these complexes showed unprecedently high catalytic activity towards alkene cyclopropanation, carbene C? H, N? H, S? H, and O? H insertion, alkene aziridination, and nitrene C? H insertion with turnover frequencies up to 1950 min?1. The use of chiral [Ru(D4‐Por)(BIMe)2] ( 1 g ) as a catalyst led to highly enantioselective carbene/nitrene transfer and insertion reactions with up to 98 % ee. Carbene modification of the N terminus of peptides at 37 °C was possible. DFT calculations revealed that the trans axial NHC ligand facilitates the decomposition of diazo compounds by stabilizing the metal–carbene reaction intermediate. 相似文献
