We have carried out a theoretical investigation of the Dötz reaction between acetylene and a series of chromium Fischer‐type carbenes [(CO)5Cr?C(X)R] with different representative substituents (R=CH?CH2, Ph) and heteroatom ligands (X=OH, NH2, OCH3, N(CH3)2) by using density functional theory with the B3LYP functional. We have studied the Dötz and chromahexatriene mechanisms of benzannulation and also the reaction mechanism leading to cyclopentannulation. For the benzannulation, it was found that the most likely mechanism in the case of vinylcarbenes is the chromahexatriene route, whereas for phenylcarbenes, the Dötz route via a ketene intermediate is clearly the most favorable. The reactions leading to the cyclopentannulated and benzannulated products are more exothermic with vinylcarbenes than with phenylcarbenes and also more exothermic with alkoxycarbenes than with aminocarbenes. The relative stability of the cyclopentannulated products as compared with the benzannulated products increases for bulkier X substituents and on going from alkoxy‐ to aminocarbenes. The kinetic data concurs with the experimental product distribution found for vinylcarbenes, by which mainly benzannulated products are obtained, and dimethylaminophenylcarbenes, which lead exclusively to cyclopentannulated adducts. 相似文献
This paper presents the behavior of ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC)-supported catalysts as anodes for direct methanol fuel
cells (DMFC), fed with an aqueous methanol solution. OMC samples were prepared by the nanocasting method from a polymerized
furan resin using mesoporous silica as a template. Pt and PtRu nanoparticles were supported on OMC with high dispersion, the
particle size being 2.4 nm at PtRu loading of 15 wt.%. The resulting catalysts were analyzed using carbon monoxide stripping
voltammetry, cyclic voltammetry, and chronoamperometry in three-electrode experiments and recording cell voltage vs. current
density curves in practical DMFC. It was found that PtRu-catalyzed technical electrodes exhibited good activity towards methanol
electrooxidation in half-cell experiments under fuel-cell-relevant conditions. Specifically, Pt85Ru15/OMC catalyst showed the highest catalytic enhancement compared to Pt/OMC for the steady-state electrooxidation of methanol
at 60 °C and 0.5 V, by a factor of 22 in 2-M MeOH solution. DMFC single cells yielded an open-circuit voltage of 0.625 V at
60 °C. Polarization curves indicate that DMFC with OMC-supported Pt85Ru15 catalyst at the anode exhibited the best performance. 相似文献
The domestic chicken (Gallus domesticus) has emerged as a powerful experimental model for studying the onset and progression of spontaneous epithelial ovarian cancer
(EOC) with a disease prevalence that can exceed 35% between 2 and 7 years of age. An experimental strategy for biomarker discovery
is reported herein that combines the chicken model of EOC, longitudinal plasma sample collection with matched tissues, advanced
mass spectrometry-based proteomics, and concepts derived from the index of individuality (Harris, Clin Chem 20: 1535–1542,
1974). Blood was drawn from 148 age-matched chickens starting at 2.5 years of age every 3 months for 1 year. At the conclusion
of the 1 year sample collection period, the 73 birds that remained alive were euthanized, necropsied, and tissues were collected.
Pathological assessment of resected tissues from these 73 birds confirmed that five birds (6.8%) developed EOC. A proteomics
workflow including in-gel digestion, nanoLC coupled to high-performance mass spectrometry, and label-free (spectral counting)
quantification was used to measure the biological intra-individual variability (CVW) of the chicken plasma proteome. Longitudinal plasma sample sets from two birds within the 73-bird biorepository were selected
for this study; one bird was considered “healthy” and the second bird developed late-stage EOC. A total of 116 proteins from
un-depleted plasma were identified with 80 proteins shared among all sample sets. Analytical variability (CVA) of the label-free proteomics workflow was measured using a single plasma sample analyzed five times and was found to be
≥CVW in both birds for 16 proteins (20%) and in either bird for 25 proteins (31%). Ovomacroglobulin (ovostatin) was found to increase
(p < 0.001) over a 6 month period in the late-stage EOC bird providing an initial candidate protein for further investigation. 相似文献
Using quantum chemical calculations and infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy in the fingerprint and X-H stretching regions, we demonstrate here that the all-Ala b6 fragment ion features a macrocyclic structure with C2 symmetry. For this structure, the ionizing proton is equally shared by the Ala(1) and Ala(4) amide oxygens in a Zundel-type symmetric (X…H+…X) H-bond. Figure
Anaerobic microorganisms of the Geobacter genus are effective electron sources for the synthesis of nanoparticles, for bioremediation of polluted water, and for the production of electricity in fuel cells. In multistep reactions, electrons are transferred via iron/heme cofactors of c‐type cytochromes from the inner cell membrane to extracellular metal ions, which are bound to outer membrane cytochromes. We measured electron production and electron flux rates to 5×105 e s?1 per G. sulfurreducens. Remarkably, these rates are independent of the oxidants, and follow zero order kinetics. It turned out that the microorganisms regulate electron flux rates by increasing their Fe2+/Fe3+ ratios in the multiheme cytochromes whenever the activity of the extracellular metal oxidants is diminished. By this mechanism the respiration remains constant even when oxidizing conditions are changing. This homeostasis is a vital condition for living systems, and makes G. sulfurreducens a versatile electron source. 相似文献
Graphite electrodes were modified with triangular (AuNTrs) or spherical (AuNPs) nanoparticles and further modified with fructose dehydrogenase (FDH). The present study reports the effect of the shape of these nanoparticles (NPs) on the catalytic current of immobilized FDH pointing out the different contributions on the mass transfer–limited and kinetically limited currents. The influence of the shape of the NPs on the mass transfer–limited and the kinetically limited current has been proved by using two different methods: a rotating disk electrode (RDE) and an electrode mounted in a wall jet flow-through electrochemical cell attached to a flow system. The advantages of using the wall jet flow system compared with the RDE system for kinetic investigations are as follows: no need to account for substrate consumption, especially in the case of desorption of enzyme, and studies of product-inhibited enzymes. The comparison reveals that virtually identical results can be obtained using either of the two techniques. The heterogeneous electron transfer (ET) rate constants (kS) were found to be 3.8 ± 0.3 s−1 and 0.9 ± 0.1 s−1, for triangular and spherical NPs, respectively. The improvement observed for the electrode modified with AuNTrs suggests a more effective enzyme-NP interaction, which can allocate a higher number of enzyme molecules on the electrode surface.
A method based on headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry is proposed for the quality control of multilayer packaging and its manufacturing process. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are produced in the manufacturing process of the packaging. They can cause organoleptic problems or modify the properties of the packaging depending on the nature and the amount of the VOCs formed. The quantification using packaging samples with a known VOC concentration for the calibration is proposed in order to reduce the analysis time, and the method is validated using a statistical test. Finally, the method is applied to the determination of odour-responsible compounds in multilayer packaging samples obtained under different extrusion-coating conditions, i.e. type of extruder, type of polymer and extrusion speed. 相似文献
On the basis of Altona's empirical generalization of the Karplus equation, an expression of 3JH,H as function of pseudorotation parameters for five-membered rings, was deduced. The resulting equation was parametrized by means of molecular mechanics calculations for tetrahydrofuran and tetrahydrothiophene. Estimation of 3JH,H for the full pseudorotational itinerary was made. From the best fit between calculated and measured 3JH,H values the preferred conformation of those rings may be established. The procedure was applied for the conformational analysis of 4-thiohexofuranose derivatives, having and β,
-galacto and D- manno, and -
-talo configurations. 相似文献
Studies about the development of a new effective aromatization process for converting gasoline rich in light saturated hydrocarbons, using modified molecular shapeselective zeolites, have been carried out. Naphthas with olefins and naphthenes are potential feedstocks. The yield of aromatic hydrocarbons increases with decreasing hydrogen content of the feed. Zn-SABO and Zn-ZSM type zeolites have been shown to be excellent catalysts for the process. 相似文献
Medium-ring heterocycles are prepared via an amine-directed, rhodium(I)-catalyzed intramolecular hydroacylation. The presence of an allyl substituent on the amine accelerates the reaction and increases product yields. 相似文献
