酞菁敏化混晶TiO2薄膜的低温制备及其对罗丹明B的催化降解

以四磺酸酞菁铜(CuPcTs)为敏化剂,采用溶胶-凝胶法制备了酞菁敏化的TiO2溶胶,经浸渍提拉成膜并室温晾干,制得CuPcTs-TiO2薄膜.采用XRD,UV-Vis和SEM等测试手段对薄膜样品进行了表征,并通过罗丹明B的降解考察了薄膜的可见光催化性能.结果表明,TiO2为锐钛矿-板钛矿-金红石混晶结构,CuPcTs-TiO2薄膜对罗丹明B降解具有较高的光催化活性.CuPcTs敏化能有效提高TiO2的可见光催化活性,但过多的CuPcTs会使催化活性降低.在可见光照射条件下,罗丹明B主要是先脱乙基生成罗丹明,然后再逐步被分解.CuPcTs-TiO2薄膜在经2～3次循环使用后,其光催化活性趋于稳定.CuPcTs可牢固地负载于TiO2薄膜中,从而保证了CuPcTs-TiO2薄膜重复使用的稳定性.

Electrophoretic separation of DNA using a new matrix in uncoated capillaries

A new separation matrix, consisting of polymer poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) and small molecule additive mannitol, was used for double-stranded (ds) DNA and plasmid DNA separation by capillary electrophoresis. The matrix had a low viscosity, which made it very easy to handle. The additive mannitol dramatically enhanced the sieving performance of PNIPAM in TBE buffer. The optimal mannitol concentration 6% in polymer solution, was determined with the consideration of both speed and resolution. A resolution of 0.95 was achieved on the separation of 271/281 bp in the phiX174/HaeIII digest by using 1.5% PNIPAM + 6% mannitol, while the supercoiled, linear and nicked conformers of lambda plasmid were separated in 1% PNIPAM + 6% mannitol, demonstrating the potential use of this new matrix for effective DNA separations. The dramatic impact of mannitol on sieving performance of PNIPAM solution was investigated. pH dependent self-coating ability of PNIPAM was revealed. The presence of mannitol in TBE buffer decreased the pH of the buffer, which led to more efficient self-coating ability of PNIPAM probable due to the formation of hydrogen bonds between PNIPAM molecules and silanol groups at the silica wall.     

Determination of phenolic compounds using high-performance liquid chromatography with Ce-Tween 20 chemiluminescence detection

A novel method for the simultaneous determination of phenolic compounds such as salicylic acid, resorcinol, phloroglucinol, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, and m-nitrophenol by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with chemiluminescence (CL) detection was developed. The procedure was based on the chemiluminescent enhancement by phenolic compounds of the cerium(IV)-Tween 20 system in a sulfuric acid medium. The separation was carried out with an isocratic elution or with a gradient elution using a mixture of methanol and 1.5% acetic acid. For six phenolic compounds, the detection limits (3σ) were in the range 1.40-5.02 ng/ml and the relative standard deviations (n=11) for the determination of 0.1 μg/ml compounds were in the range 1.9-2.9%. The CL reaction was well compatible with the mobile phase of HPLC, no baseline drift often occurred in HPLC-CL detection was observed with a gradient elution. The method has been successfully applied to the determination of salicylic acid and resorcinol in Dermatitis Clear Tincture and p-hydroxybenzoic acid in apple juices.     

Local solvent density augmentation around a solute in supercritical solvent bath: 1. A mechanism explanation and a new phenomenon

A recently proposed partitioned density functional (DF) approximation (Phys. Rev. E 2003, 68, 061201) and an adjustable parameter-free version of a Lagrangian theorem-based DF approximation (LTDFA: Phys. Lett. A 2003, 319, 279) are combined to propose a DF approximation for nonuniform Lennard-Jones (LJ) fluid. Predictions of the present DF approximation for local LJ solvent density inhomogeneity around a large LJ solute particle or hard core Yukawa particle are in good agreement with existing simulation data. An extensive investigation about the effect of solvent bath temperature, solvent-solute interaction range, solvent-solute interaction magnitude, and solute size on the local solvent density inhomogeneity is carried out with the present DF approximation. It is found that a plateau of solvent accumulation number as a function of solvent bath bulk density is due to a coupling between the solvent-solute interaction and solvent correlation whose mathematical expression is a convolution integral appearing in the density profile equation of the DF theory formalism. The coupling becomes stronger as the increasing of the whole solvent-solute interaction strength, solute size relative to solvent size, and the closeness to the critical density and temperature of the solvent bath. When the attractive solvent-solute interaction becomes large enough and the bulk state moves close enough to the critical temperature of the solvent bath, the maximum solvent accumulation number as a function of solvent bath bulk density appears near the solvent bath critical density; the appearance of this maximum is in contrast with a conclusion drawn by a previous investigation based on an inhomogeneous version of Ornstein-Zernike integral equation carried out only for a smaller parameter space than that in the present paper. Advantage of the DFT approach over the integral equation is discussed.     

Quinone methide phosphodiester alkylations under aqueous conditions

A detailed analysis of the alkylation of phosphodiesters with a p-quinone methide under aqueous conditions has been accomplished. The relative rates of phosphodiester alkylation and hydrolysis have been examined by (1)H NMR analysis of the reaction of 2,6-dimethyl-p-quinone methide in a buffered diethyl phosphate/acetonitrile solution (1:9 v/v, pH 4.0). The rate of hydrolysis of the quinone methide was confirmed by UV analysis in 28.5% solutions of aqueous inorganic phosphate in acetonitrile at pH 4.0 and 7.0. Similarly, the rate of phosphodiester alkylations by the quinone methide was also confirmed by UV analysis in 28.5% solutions of aqueous dibenzyl, dibutyl, or diethyl phosphate in acetonitrile at pH 4.0 and 7.0. These kinetic studies further establish that the phosphodiester alkylation reactions are acid-catalyzed, second-order processes. The rate constant for phosphodiester alkylation was found to range from approximately 370-3700 times the rate constant of quinone methide hydrolysis with diethyl and dibenzyl phosphate, respectively (pH 4.0, 28.5% aqueous acetonitrile).     

Further investigation about Lagrangian theorem-based density functional approximation: test by non-uniform polymer melt

A Lagrangian theorem-based density functional approximation [S. Zhou, New J. Phys. 4 (2002) 36] for hard sphere fluid is employed to describe non-uniform polymer melt in the framework of density functional theory. A required bulk second order direct correlation function (DCF) within the whole density range is obtained by solving the polymer-RISM integral equation, the associated adjustable parameter is specified by a hard wall sum rule, and is found to be a negative value when the bulk density is low and the number of chain segment is large. However, the mathematically meaningless value can be physically meaningful by the observation that the present recipe can produce out density profile in very good agreement with simulation data not only at the contact region, but also at the region far away from the surface, and that the predicted global quantities such as surface excess and surface tension are also in good agreement with the simulation data. It is considered that the LTDFA has a property of self correction, which enables the LTDFA-based DFA for non-uniform polymer melt performs quite well even with a not very accurate second order DCF as input. Potential applications of the self correction peculiarity are discussed.
