Thiol- and disulfide-modified oligonucleotide monolayer structures on polycrystalline and single-crystal Au(111) surfaces

We provide a comprehensive study of single- (ss) and double-strand (ds) oligonucleotides with either 25 or 10 bases or base pairs (bp) immobilized on polycrystalline and single-crystal Au(111) surfaces. The study is based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry, interfacial capacitance data, and electrochemical scanning tunnelling microscopy (in situ STM). The sequences used were the 25-bp sequence from the BRCA1 gene (25-mer), while the 10-bp oligonucleotides contained solely linear adenine and thymine sequences. The oligonucleotides were modified by the dimethoxytrityl group (DMT) via a disulfide group [DMT-S-S-ss25-mer and DMT-S-S-ds(AT)₁₀], a pure disulfide group (A₁₀-S-S-T₁₀), or a thiol group [HS-ss25-mer and HS-ds-(AT)₁₀], all via a hexamethylene linker. The overall pattern suggests strategies for controlled adsorption of DNA-based molecules and recognition of complementary strands or other molecules.     

应变速率和电位对应力腐蚀裂纹扩展的影响

以滑移-溶解-再钝化模型为基础,推导出应力腐蚀裂纹扩展速率与裂尖应变速率和电位之间的理论公式.计算表明,在裂纹扩展速率与裂尖应变速率的关系曲线中有两个特征区域.裂纹扩展速率在区域I随裂尖应变速率增加而增大,而在区域II不随裂尖应变速率的改变而变化.用慢应变速率拉伸技术（SSRT）测量了304L不锈钢的裂纹增长速率.当电位控制在区域II的阳极区时,理论计算的裂纹扩展速率与实验得到的结果比较吻合.     

烟酸对酸性硫酸盐体系铜电沉积的影响

对溶液A: 0.8 mol•L－1硫酸铜,0.6 mol•L－1硫酸,5.0×10－5 mol•L－1氯离子,1.0×10－4 mol•L－1聚乙二醇的溶液,溶液B:在溶液A中加入2.0×10－2 mol•L－1烟酸,pH为0.5,运用循环伏安和计时安培法研究玻碳电极上铜的电沉积行为.结果表明,铜的电沉积过程经历了晶核形成过程,其电结晶按瞬时成核和三维生长方式进行.烟酸的加入对铜的电沉积具有阻化作用,但不改变铜的电结晶机理.沉积层的X射线衍射表明Cu为面心立方结构,在烟酸存在下沉积层出现(220)高择优取向,这可能是烟酸在Cu(220)晶面上发生强烈吸附作用的结果.

The title compound, C₁₆H₁₇N₅S, is in the thione form and crystallizes with two independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. In both mol­ecules, the penta­methyl­ene­imine five‐membered ring adopts an envelope conformation, and in one of the molecules this ring shows positional disorder. The thione S and hydrazine N atoms are in the Z configuration with respect to the C—N bond.

Sol Gel Processing of Low Permittivity,Fiber-Reinforced SiO2-Polyimide Substrates

Low permittivity ceramic substrates with a sandwich structure consisting of a porous, fiber-reinforced SiO₂ core and two thin polymer plates were fabricated by sol-gel processing, and polymer infiltration. The rheological behavior of an aqueous colloidal SiO₂ sol, containing short SiO₂ fibers was studied as a function of particle loading, fiber loading and gelation time. Short SiO₂ fibers were introduced to limit drying shrinkage and thus minimize substrate cracking during drying. After the psuedoplastic sol was tape cast and sintered at 1150°C for 2 h, a polyimide solution was infiltrated into the porous SiO₂ core. Permittivities ranging from 1.81 to 3.08 could be obtained by using 32–42% SiO₂, 5–50% polyimide and 63 to 8% porosity. The substrate strength was increased from 1.93 MPa to 3.83 MPa after polyimide infiltration.     

Remarkable nanosize effect of zirconia in Au/ZrO2 catalyst for CO oxidation

Nanosize effect of ZrO2 in Au/ZrO2 catalyst was studied by deposition-precipitation of Au nanoparticles in similar sizes (4-5 nm) on ZrO2 nanoparticles of varying sizes. The catalysts were characterized with XRD, TEM, XPS, and nitrogen adsorption to understand the effect of ZrO2 particle size on the catalytic nanostructures. Nanocomposite Au/ZrO2 catalysts consisting of comparably sized Au-metal (4-5 nm) and ZrO2 (5-15 nm) nanoparticles are found advantageous over those containing similarly sized Au-metal but larger ZrO2 (40-200 nm) particles for CO oxidation. This finding may have important implications on the designed preparation of advanced nanostructured catalysts and other chemical materials.     

In Situ Monitoring of Generation and Precipitation of Ferric Hydroxide Sol with a Piezoelectric Quartz Crystal Impedance Analyzer

The piezoelectric quartz crystal (PQC) impedance technique was applied to monitor in situ generation and precipitation of the ferric hydroxide sol in aqueous solutions at 90 degrees C. Equivalent circuit parameters and resonant frequencies as well as the half-peak width of the electroacoustic conductance spectrum deltaf(G1/2) for the PQC resonance were obtained and analyzed. Three stages, sol generation and simultaneous adsorption, adsorption equilibrium, and precipitation of ferric hydroxide sol could be identified in the process of adding the ferric nitrate solution into the hot water. A scheme of two consecutive reactions occurring at the electrode/solution interface was used to analyze the adsorption kinetics of ferric hydroxide sol onto the Au electrode. In addition, the electrolyte-induced precipitation of the colloid was monitored and discussed. Temperature effect on the PQC resonance behavior in liquid was also investigated. Since the PQC impedance technique provides multidimensional piezoelectric information in situ, it is highly recommended for studying the process of sol-gel generation and precipitation.

纳米CoHCF修饰电极的制备及其对血红蛋白的电化学测定研究

A cobalt hexacyanoferrate （CoHCF） nanoparticle （size ca. 60 nm） chemically modified electrode （CME） was fabricated and the electrochemical behavior of hemoglobin （Hb） at this nanosized CoHCF CME was studied. In comparison with a bare glassy carbon electrode （GCE） and a general CoHCF CME electrodeposited in a traditional manner, the present nanosized CoHCF CME performed efficiently electrocatalytic reduction for Hb with relatively high sensitivity, stability, and longlife, Combined with liquid chromatography （LC）, the nanosized CoHCF CME was used as the electrochemical detector of Hb in the established flow injection analysis-electrochemical determination （FIA-ECD） system. The peak current was a linear function of concentrations in the range from 2.5×10^-8 to 5.0×10^-6mol/L for Hb, with detection limit of 1.4×10^-8 mol/L. The FIA-ECD system has been successfully applied to assess the Hb content of clinic blood samples with advantages of sensitiveness, speediness, easy control and small sample-consumption.
