土家族药物天葵化石汤提取液抑制草酸钙结石形成的化学模拟

采用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和X射线衍射法(XRD)研究了土家族药物天葵化石汤(Tiankui)的提取液对尿石晶体草酸钙(CaOxa)成核、生长的抑制作用及其对二水草酸钙(COD)的稳定作用. 当Tiankui浓度小于30 mg/mL时, 主要生成一水草酸钙(COM), 但可使COM晶体棱角圆钝. 随着Tiankui浓度增加至45和75 mg/mL, 可分别诱导95%和100%的COD晶体生成. Tiankui还可以稳定COD在水溶液中的存在, 没有Tiankui存在时, COD在48 h内全部转化为COM晶体, 而在12 mg/mL Tiankui存在下, COD仅有20%转化. 从Tiankui提取液的活性组分、与草酸钙不同晶相间的吸附差异、化学配位等角度讨论了其抑制CaOxa生长和诱导稳定COD的化学基础.

水热法合成K0.5Bi0.5TiO3纳米陶瓷粉体

K_0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃(KBT)nanocrystalline particles were hydrothermally synthesized from Bi(NO₃)₃·5H₂O, TiO₂ and KOH. The crystal phase, chemical composition and microstructure were characterized by XRD, XRF, Raman scattering spectroscopy and TEM. The results indicated that the products were pure perovskite structured K_0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃ with chemical stoichiometry and perovskite structure. The TEM observation revealed that the particles possessed a feature of cubic shape and a nano-scale of about 40 nm. The KBT ceramics sintered at 1 040 ℃ from hydrothermal powders show higher density and better electric properties than that prepared by a solid-state reaction method.

Photoinduced Oxidation Reaction of Benzotrifluoride with OH Radical by the Laser Flash Method

The optical transient and kinetics characterizations of the transients formed in the reaction of OH with benzotrifluoride (BTF) were performed by a laser flash photolysis technique. The results indicated that the formation of π‐type adduct of C₆H₅(OH)CF₃ was the major reaction channel, and the δ‐type adduct of C₆H₅CF₃OH formation was an additional minor process in the oxidation reaction of BTF attacked by OH radicals yielded from the photolysis of H₂O₂. Addition of OH to the CF₃ group led to the fluoride ion elimination to yield α,α‐difluorophenylcarbinol (C₆H₅CF₂OH). Trifluoromethylphenol (HOC₆H₄CF₃) of meta‐, para‐ and ortho‐substituted isomers resulted from the addition of OH to the BTF aromatic ring.     

Comparison of the Electrochemical and Luminescence Properties of Two Carbazole‐Based Phosphine Oxide EuIII Complexes: Effect of Different Bipolar Ligand Structures

The photoluminescence (PL), electrochemical, and electroluminescence (EL) properties of Eu^III complexes, [Eu(cppo)₂(tta)₃] ( 1 ) and [Eu(cpo)₂(tta)₃] ( 2 ; TTA=2‐thenoyltrifluoroacetonate) with two carbazole‐based phosphine oxide ligands, 9‐[4‐(diphenylphosphinoyl)phenyl]‐9H‐carbazole (CPPO) and 9‐(diphenylphosphoryl)‐9H‐carbazole (CPO), which have different bipolar structures, donor–π‐spacer–acceptor (D–π–A) or donor–acceptor (D–A) systems respectively, are investigated. The CPPO with D–π–A architecture has improved PL properties, such as higher PL efficiency and more efficient intramolecular energy transfer, than CPO with the D–A architecture. Gaussian simulation proved the bipolar structures and the double‐carrier injection ability of the ligands. The carrier injection abilities of triphenylphosphine oxide, CPO, and CPPO are gradually improved. Notably, the Gaussian and electrochemical investigations indicate that before and after coordination, the carrier injection ability of the ligands show remarkable changes because of the particularity of the D‐π–A and D–A systems. The electrochemical studies demonstrate that coordination induces the electron cloud to migrate from electron‐rich carbazole to electron‐poor diphenylphosphine oxide, and consequently increases the electron‐cloud density on diphenylphosphine oxide, which weakens its ability for electron affinity and induces the elevation of LUMO energy levels of the complexes. Significantly, the π‐spacer in the D–π–A system exhibits a distinct buffer effect on the variation of the electron‐cloud density distribution of the ligand, which is absent in the D–A system. It is demonstrated that the adaptability of the D–π–A systems, especially for coordination, is stronger than that of D–A systems, which facilitates the modification of the complexes by designing multifunctional ligands purposefully. 1 seems favorable as the most efficient electroluminescent Eu^III complex with greater brightness, higher efficiencies, and more stable EL spectra than 2 . These investigations demonstrate that the phosphine oxide ligands with D–π–A architecture are more appropriate than those with D–A architecture to achieve multifunctional electroluminescent Eu^III complexes.     

Quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical study of mechanisms of heme degradation by the enzyme heme oxygenase: the strategic function of the water cluster

Heme degradation by heme oxygenase (HO) enzymes is important in maintaining iron homeostasis and prevention of oxidative stress, etc. In response to mechanistic uncertainties, we performed quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical investigations of the heme hydroxylation by HO, in the native route and with the oxygen surrogate donor H2O2. It is demonstrated that H2O2 cannot be deprotonated to yield Fe(III)OOH, and hence the surrogate reaction starts from the FeHOOH complex. The calculations show that, when starting from either Fe(III)OOH or Fe(III)HOOH, the fully concerted mechanism involving O-O bond breakage and O-C(meso) bond formation is highly disfavored. The low-energy mechanism involves a nonsynchronous, effectively concerted pathway, in which the active species undergoes first O-O bond homolysis followed by a barrier-free (small with Fe(III)HOOH) hydroxyl radical attack on the meso position of the porphyrin. During the reaction of Fe(III)HOOH, formation of the Por+*FeIV=O species, compound I, competes with heme hydroxylation, thereby reducing the efficiency of the surrogate route. All these conclusions are in accord with experimental findings (Chu, G. C.; Katakura, K.; Zhang, X.; Yoshida, T.; Ikeda-Saito, M. J. Biol. Chem. 1999, 274, 21319). The study highlights the role of the water cluster in the distal pocket in creating "function" for the enzyme; this cluster affects the O-O cleavage and the O-Cmeso formation, but more so it is responsible for the orientation of the hydroxyl radical and for the observed alpha-meso regioselectivity of hydroxylation (Ortiz de Montellano, P. R. Acc. Chem. Res. 1998, 31, 543). Differences/similarities with P450 and HRP are discussed.
