Theoretical study of addition reactions of heavy carbenes to carbon and boron nitride nanotubes

In an effort to gain insight into the activation energies and reaction enthalpies of the chemical functionalization of carbon and boron nitride nanotubes, calculations using density functional theory have been carried out for the cycloaddition of a heavy carbene to a single-walled carbon (SWCNT; C(130)H(20)) and a boron nitride (SWBNNT; B(65)N(65)H(20)) nanotube. The (CH(3))(2)X + SWCNT and (CH(3))(2)X + SWBNNT (X = C, Si, Ge, Sn, and Pb) reactions are the subject of the present study. All the stationary points were determined at the B3LYP/LANL2DZ level of theory. The major conclusions that can be drawn from this work are as follows: (i) Considering both the activation barrier and reaction enthalpy based on the model calculations presented here, it is found that the order of (CH(3))(2)X reactivity is X = C > Si > Ge > Sn > Pb, irrespective of whether cycloaddition is to a SWCNT or a SWBNNT sidewall. That is to say, (CH(3))(2)C and (CH(3))(2)Si can readily add to the sidewalls of SWCNT and SWBNNT, whereas (CH(3))(2)Ge, (CH(3))(2)Sn, and (CH(3))(2)Pb are unreactive. (ii) Since the chemical reactivities of SWCNT and SWBNNT sidewalls closely resemble those of the small C(16)H(10) and B(8)N(8)H(10) molecules, at least in a qualitative sense, the use of the above small molecules as models is sufficient to provide qualitatively correct results. (iii) Our theoretical observations indicate that all the (5,5) SWCNT and SWBNNT cycloadducts favor opened rather than closed three-membered ring structures. (iv) The theoretical investigations demonstrate that the singlet-triplet splitting of the carbene species (R(2)X) as well as that of the small model molecules can be used as a diagnostic tool to predict the addition reactivities of carbene analogues and sidewalls of various nanotubes, respectively. Moreover, the results obtained in this work allow a number of predictions to be made.     

Alkene oxidation by a platinum oxo complex and isolation of a platinaoxetane

Oxo complex [(1,5-COD)4Pt4(mu3-O)2Cl2](BF4)2 (1) reacts readily with ethylene and norbornylene. The ethylene reaction yields acetaldehyde and a 1:1 mixture of (1,5-COD)Pt(Cl)(CH2CH3) (2) and [(1,5-COD)Pt4(eta3-CH2CHCH(CH3))](BF4) (3), while the norbornylene reaction yields a platinaoxetane complex, the first metallaoxetane to be obtained from the reaction of an oxo complex and an alkene.     

Surface chemistry of nanoscale Fe_3O_4 dispersed in magnetic fluids

The interaction between stabilizers and nanoparticles is one of the important factors to prepare stable magnetic fluids. The magnetic nano-size Fe3O4 core with single domain and the average grain size around 8-12 nm were prepared by chemical precipitation method. The O/Fe molar ratio of the particle surface was measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The heat effects of stabilizers ad- sorption on nanoparticles were measured by solution calorimetry. The excess amount of oxygen was possibly the result of the hydroxygen formed on the surface of the nanoparticles. The heat effects showed that compounds containing carboxyl groups can be adsorbed chemically on magnetite by forming chemical bonds. The other stabilizers involving NH-groups, such as polyethylene-imine, can be adsorbed physically. The exothermic value is about half of the former case.

Application of capillary electrophoretic immunoassay to analysis of estradiol in women's serum

Summary A rapid and sensitive capillary electrophoretic immunoassay is described for determination of estradiol in women's serum. Addition of thermally reversible hydrogel in the buffer, serving as a replaceable packing material, improved the reproducibility of the method. Using a laser-induced fluorescence detector this method can be applied to the determination of estradiol at concentrations as low as 30.6 pg mL¹. Estradiol levels in 16 normal women's serum were measured at the range 115≈370 pg mL¹. The results of this method have been found to correlate well with those of chemiluminescent immunoassay.     

Formation of ring calcium oxalate patterns induced by domains in DPPC Langmuir-Blodgett films

The ring patterns of calcium oxalate crystals were induced by domains in Langmuir-Blodgett （LB） films of dipalmitoylpho- sphatidylcboline （DPPC）. The result was explained by the defects at the ring boundaries of liquid condensed （LC） and liquid expanded （LE） phases of LB film. These boundaries could provide less free energy and much more nucleating sites for COM crystals.
