Path integral Monte Carlo simulation of the absorption spectra of an Al atom embedded in helium

We use a multilevel path integral Monte-Carlo (PIMC) method to simulate the arrangement of He atoms around a single Al atom doped in a He cluster. High-level ab initio Al-He pair potentials and a Balling and Wright pairwise Hamiltonian model are used to describe the full potential and the electronic asymmetry arising from the open-shell character of the Al atom in its ground and excited electronic states. Our calculations show that the doping of the Al 3p electron strongly influences the He packing. The results of the PIMC simulation are used to predict the electronic excitation spectrum of an Al atom embedded in He clusters. With inclusion of tail corrections for the ground and excited states potentials, the calculated 3d<--3p spectrum agrees reasonably well with the experimental spectrum. The blueshift of the calculated spectrum associated with the 4s<--3p transition of solvated Al is about 25 nm (2000 cm-1) larger than seen in experiments on Al embedded in bulk liquid He. We predict that the spectrum associated with the 4p<--3p transition will be blueshifted by approximately 7000 cm-1 (nearly 1 eV).     

Immobilization of glucose oxidase with the blend of regenerated silk fibroin and poly(vinyl alcohol) and its application to a 1,1′- dimethylferrocene-mediating glucose sensor

The structure and properties of the blend of regenerated silk fibroin (RSF) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) were investigated. The two polymers in the blend are in the state of phase segregation. Infrared (IR) spectra indicate that the RSF in the blend maintains its intrinsic properties, thus, ethanol treatment can transfer silk I structure of RSF to silk II structure. The water absorption property and mechanical property of the blend are improved in comparison with those of RSF. The blend maintains the major merit of RSF, that is, it can immobilize glucose oxidase on the basis of the conformational transition from silk I structure to silk II structure. The properties of the immobilized enzyme are examined. Moreover, the second generation of glucose sensor based on the immobilized enzyme is fabricated and it has a variety of advantages including easy maintenance of enzyme, simplicity of construction, fast response time and high stability.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 3,3,6,6-Tetramethyl-N-hydroxy-9-ethyl-1,8-dioxo-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10-decahydroacridine

1 INTRODUCTION 1,4-Dihydropyridines (1,4-DHPs) are well-knowncompounds because of their pharmacological pro-perty as calcium channel modulators[1, . The che- 2]mical modifications, such as the introduction of dif-ferent substituents[3, or heteroatoms[5], of the DHP 4]ring have allowed the expansion of researches onthe structure-activity relationship to gain new in-sights into the molecular interactions at the receptorlevel. In fact, it is well established th…     

Staphylionosides A-K: megastigmane glucosides from the leaves of Staphylea bumalda DC

Chemical investigation of leaves of Staphylea bumalda DC., collected in the suburbs of Hiroshima City, afforded 11 new megastigmane glucosides, named staphylionosides A-K (3-13), along with two known megastigmane glucosides (1, 2). The relative structures were elucidated from spectroscopic evidence, and the absolute structures of the aglycones were determined by means of the combination of beta-D-glucosylation-induced shift-trends and the modified Mosher's method.     

Synthesis, antitumor and DNA photocleaving activities of novel naphthalene carboxamides: effects of different thio-heterocyclic rings and aminoalkyl side chains

Two kinds of thio-heterocyclic fused naphthalene carboxamides, 3a-b, 4a-b, were designed, synthesized and quantitatively evaluated as efficient antitumor and DNA photocleaving agents. Compound 3a or 3b, having the thiophene ring, intercalated into DNA more strongly than compound 4a or 4b, having the thioxanthene ring. Compound 4a or 4b, photocleaved DNA more efficiently than 3a or 3b via superoxide anion. Compound 4a was the strongest inhibitor for P388 (murine leukemia cell), while 3a was the most cytotoxic one against A549 (human lung cancer cell). Each new compound showed stronger DNA photocleaving activity than corresponding naphthalimide.     

全硅FER沸石上有机吸附物脱附行为的研究

运用热分析技术,研究吸附在体相和表面结构完美的单晶状疏水全硅FER沸石孔道中的有机化合物的脱附行为,测定亲和性指数AT值和负载量。所研究的吸附质为直链烷烃、直链烷基醇、直链烷基胺等,结果显示醇有较低的AT值,而直链烷烃有较高的AT值,胺类有最高的AT值。证明全硅FER沸石骨架对烷基、胺基呈现出强的"亲和性",而对羟基呈现出“憎性”。同时还发现吸附质的链长对脱附性质、AT值也有较大影响。

Four new triterpene glycosides from Thalictrum squarrosum

Four new triterpene glycosides were isolated from the dried aerial parts of Thalictrum squarrosum (Ranunculaceae). They were designated as squarroside I, being a cycloartane-type glycoside, and squarrosides II, III and IV, being oleanene-type glycosides. Their structures were established by using two dimensional (2D) NMR techniques.     

聚丙烯熔体的零切变粘度与粘均分子量的关系

<正> 零切变粘度η_0是聚丙烯熔体流变性能的一个基本物理量,零切变粘度-分子量关系不仅具有理论上的兴趣,而且也有较大的实用意义。在文献中零切变粘度通常都是用毛细管粘度计数据外推求得的,但是由于聚丙烯熔体有较强的非牛顿性,即使在毛细管粘度计测量下限测得的粘度仍表现出明显的切变速率依赖性。因此,难于用外推的方法
