The analytical capabilities of the microminiaturized lab-on-a-valve (LOV) module integrated into a microsequential injection (μSI) fluidic system in terms of analytical chemical performance, microfluidic handling and on-line sample processing are compared to those of the micro total analysis systems (μTAS), also termed lab-on-a-chip (LOC). This paper illustrates, via selected representative examples, the potentials of the LOV scheme vis-à-vis LOC microdevices for environmental assays. By means of user-friendly programmable flow and the exploitation of the interplay between the thermodynamics and the kinetics of the chemical reactions at will, LOV allows accommodation of reactions which, at least at the present stage, are not feasible by application of microfluidic LOC systems. Thus, in LOV one may take full advantage of kinetic discriminations schemes, where even subtle differences in reactions are utilized for analytical purposes. Furthermore, it is also feasible to handle multi-step sequential reactions of divergent kinetics; to conduct multi-parametric determinations without manifold reconfiguration by utilization of the inherent open-architecture of the micromachined unit for implementation of peripheral modules and automated handling of a variety of reagents; and most importantly, it offers itself as a versatile front end to a plethora of detection schemes. Not the least, LOV is regarded as an emerging downscaled tool to overcome the dilemma of LOC microsystems to admit real-life samples. This is nurtured via its intrinsic flexibility for accommodation of sample pre-treatment schemes aimed at the on-line manipulation of complex samples. Thus, LOV is playing a prominent role in the environmental field, whenever the monitoring of trace level concentration of pollutants is pursued, because both matrix isolation and preconcentration of target analytes is most often imperative, or in fact necessary, prior to sample presentation to the detector. 相似文献
The reactions of MCl5 or MOCl3 with imidazole‐based pro‐ligand L1H, 3,5‐tBu2‐2‐OH‐C6H2‐(4,5‐Ph2‐1H‐)imidazole, or oxazole‐based ligand L2H, 3,5‐tBu2‐2‐OH‐C6H2(1H‐phenanthro[9,10‐d])oxazole, following work‐up, afforded octahedral complexes [MX(L1, 2)], where MX=NbCl4 (L1, 1 a ; L2, 2 a ), [NbOCl2(NCMe)] (L1, 1 b ; L2, 2 b ), TaCl4 (L1, 1 c ; L2, 2 c ), or [TaOCl2(NCMe)] (L1, 1 d ). The treatment of α‐diimine ligand L3, (2,6‐iPr2C6H3N?CH)2, with [MCl4(thf)2] (M=Nb, Ta) afforded [MCl4(L3)] (M=Nb, 3 a ; Ta, 3 b ). The reaction of [MCl3(dme)] (dme=1,2‐dimethoxyethane; M=Nb, Ta) with bis(imino)pyridine ligand L4, 2,6‐[2,6‐iPr2C6H3N?(Me)C]2C5H3N, afforded known complexes of the type [MCl3(L4)] (M=Nb, 4 a ; Ta, 4 b ), whereas the reaction of 2‐acetyl‐6‐iminopyridine ligand L5, 2‐[2,6‐iPr2C6H3N?(Me)C]‐6‐Ac‐C5H3N, with the niobium precursor afforded the coupled product [({2‐Ac‐6‐(2,6‐iPr2C6H3N?(Me)C)C5H3N}NbOCl2)2] ( 5 ). The reaction of MCl5 with Schiff‐base pro‐ligands L6H–L10H, 3,5‐(R1)2‐2‐OH‐C6H2CH?N(2‐OR2‐C6H4), (L6H: R1=tBu, R2=Ph; L7H: R1=tBu, R2=Me; L8H: R1=Cl, R2=Ph; L9H: R1=Cl, R2=Me; L10H: R1=Cl, R2=CF3) afforded [MCl4(L6–10)] complexes (M=Nb, 6 a – 10 a ; M=Ta, 6 b – 9 b ). In the case of compound 8 b , the corresponding zwitterion was also synthesised, namely [Ta?Cl5(L8H)+] ? MeCN ( 8 c ). Unexpectedly, the reaction of L7H with TaCl5 at reflux in toluene led to the removal of the methyl group and the formation of trichloride 7 c [TaCl3(L7‐Me)]; conducting the reaction at room temperature led to the formation of the expected methoxy compound ( 7 b ). Upon activation with methylaluminoxane (MAO), these complexes displayed poor activities for the homogeneous polymerisation of ethylene. However, the use of chloroalkylaluminium reagents, such as dimethylaluminium chloride (DMAC) and methylaluminium dichloride (MADC), as co‐catalysts in the presence of the reactivator ethyl trichloroacetate (ETA) generated thermally stable catalysts with, in the case of niobium, catalytic activities that were two orders of magnitude higher than those previously observed. The effects of steric hindrance and electronic configuration on the polymerisation activity of these tantalum and niobium pre‐catalysts were investigated. Spectroscopic studies (1H NMR, 13C NMR and 1H? 1H and 1H? 13C correlations) on the reactions of compounds 4 a / 4 b with either MAO(50) or AlMe3/[CPh3]+[B(C6F5)4]? were consistent with the formation of a diamagnetic cation of the form [L4AlMe2]+ (MAO(50) is the product of the vacuum distillation of commercial MAO at +50 °C and contains only 1 mol % of Al in the form of free AlMe3). In the presence of MAO, this cationic aluminium complex was not capable of initiating the ROMP (ring opening metathesis polymerisation) of norbornene, whereas the 4 a / 4 b systems with MAO(50) were active. A parallel pressure reactor (PPR)‐based homogeneous polymerisation screening by using pre‐catalysts 1 b , 1 c , 2 a , 3 a and 6 a , in combination with MAO, revealed only moderate‐to‐good activities for the homo‐polymerisation of ethylene and the co‐polymerisation of ethylene/1‐hexene. The molecular structures are reported for complexes 1 a – 1 c , 2 b , 5 , 6 a , 6 b, 7 a, 8 a and 8 c . 相似文献
Highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) and graphene grown on Ni (Ni‐Gra) or Cu (Cu‐Gra) by chemical vapour deposition were modified with thick anthraquinone (AQ) films (7?60 nm) by redox grafting of the pertinent diazonium salt. Glassy carbon (GC) electrodes were used for comparison. The AQ‐modified GC electrodes showed excellent blocking properties towards the Fe(CN)63?/4? redox probe, although it was noted that in the case of Ni‐Gra and Cu‐Gra, the blocking ability depended strongly on the underlying substrate. Oxygen reduction studies revealed good electrocatalytic activity of AQ‐modified HOPG, Ni‐Gra, and Cu‐Gra, compared with the bare electrodes. 相似文献
A trinuclear Pd complex containing a mu3-1,1-ethylenedithiolato ligand has been synthesized and its structure confirmed by X-ray crystallography. It is the first example of a 1,1-ethylenedithiolato complex containing an anionic carbon sigma donor. This compound shows an unprecedented fluxional behavior in solution, by which the three palladacycles exchange around the dithiolene. The activation parameters for this process have been derived by NMR line shape analysis, and a mechanism is proposed. 相似文献
Sequential injection microcolumn extraction (SI-MCE) based on the implementation of a soil-containing microcartridge as external reactor in a sequential injection network is, for the first time, proposed for dynamic fractionation of macronutrients in environmental solids, as exemplified by the partitioning of inorganic phosphorus in agricultural soils. The on-line fractionation method capitalises on the accurate metering and sequential exposure of the various extractants to the solid sample by application of programmable flow as precisely coordinated by a syringe pump.
Three different soil phase associations for phosphorus, that is, exchangeable, Al- and Fe-bound, and Ca-bound fractions, were elucidated by accommodation in the flow manifold of the three steps of the Hieltjes–Lijklema (HL) scheme involving the use of 1.0 M NH4Cl, 0.1 M NaOH and 0.5 M HCl, respectively, as sequential leaching reagents. The precise timing and versatility of SI for tailoring various operational extraction modes were utilized for investigating the extractability and the extent of phosphorus re-distribution for variable partitioning times.
Automatic spectrophotometric determination of soluble reactive phosphorus in soil extracts was performed by a flow injection (FI) analyser based on the Molybdenum Blue (MB) chemistry. The 3σ detection limit was 0.02 mg P L−1 while the linear dynamic range extended up to 20 mg P L−1 regardless of the extracting media. Despite the variable chemical composition of the HL extracts, a single FI set-up was assembled with no need for either manifold re-configuration or modification of chemical composition of reagents.
The mobilization of trace elements, such as Cd, often present in grazed pastures as a result of the application of phosphate fertilizers, was also explored in the HL fractions by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry. 相似文献
A graph G with p vertices and q edges, vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G), is said to be super vertex-graceful (in short SVG), if there exists a function pair (f, f+) where f is a bijection from V(G) onto P, f+ is a bijection from E(G) onto Q, f+((u, v)) = f(u) + f(v) for any (u, v) ∈ E(G),
