Controllable organization of a carboxylic acid type gemini surfactant at different pH values by adding Copper(II) ions

The gemini surfactant sodium 4,8-dioctyl-3,9-dioxo-6-hydroxy-4,8-diaza-1,11-undecanedicarboxylate (SDUC), bearing two carboxylic headgroups and two hydrocarbon chains, has been synthesized, and its self-organization characteristics at strong basic and neutral environments have been studied. The results reveal that a transition from micelles to vesicles in SDUC aqueous solution occurs when the pH drops from 12.0 to 7.0. When a small amount of Cu(2+) ion is added to the SDUC solutions at both pH 12.0 and 7.0, remarkable transformations were observed within the SDUC aggregate structures. At pH 12.0, micelles transform into vesicles as Cu(2+) is added, while the vesicles of SDUC are formed at pH 7.0 and these small vesicles tend to fuse into larger ones slowly. Moreover, these SDUC vesicles at pH 7.0 undergo a relatively fast fission process when Cu(2+) is added in. An attempt has been made to explain the mechanism of these transformations.     

Synthesis of novel pentafluorosulfanylfurans. Two retro-Diels-Alder approaches

The first examples of furan substituted with an SF5 group are reported. 3-pentafluorosulfanylfurans were prepared from their respective 2-pentafluorosulfanyl-5-cyano-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene precursors via retro-Diels-Alder reactions. Also, a tandem cycloaddition/retrocycloaddition reaction between 4-phenyloxazole and 1-pentafluorosulfanylhex-1-yne was used to prepare 3-pentafluorosulfanyl-4-butylfuran. [reaction: see text].

The effect of substrate concentration on biohydrogen production by using kinetic models

The effect of substrate concentration ranging from 0 to 300 g/L on fermentative hydrogen production by mixed cultures was investigated in batch tests using glucose as substrate. The experimental results showed that, at 35℃ and initial pH 7.0, during the fermentative hydrogen production, the hydrogen production potential and hydrogen production rate increased with increasing substrate concentration from 0 to 25 g/L. The maximal hydrogen production potential of 426.8 mL and maximal hydrogen pro-duction rate of 15.1 mL/h were obtained at the substrate concentration of 25 g/L. The maximal hydrogen yield and the maximal substrate degradation efficiency were respectively 384.3 mL/g glucose and 97.6%, at the substrate concentration of 2 g/L. The modified Logistic model could be used to describe the progress of cumulative hydrogen production in this study successfully. The Han-Levenspiel model could be used to describe the effect of substrate concentration on fermentative hydrogen production rate.

Theoretical study on (Al2O3)n (n = 1-10 and 30) fullerenes and H2 adsorption properties

The structures and stabilities of (Al2O3)n (n = 1-10 and 30) clusters were studied by means of first principles calculations. The calculated results reveal that the global minima of small (Al2O3)n (n = 1-5) clusters are cage structures with high symmetries, in which Al and O atoms are three- and two-coordinated, respectively, and are linked to neighbors via single bonds. Beyond (Al2O3)5, we calculated both cage and cage-dimer structures for (Al2O3)n (n = 6-10), and the results show that, at this size range, cage-dimer structures are more stable than cage structures. Furthermore, an onion-like motif for (Al2O3)10 was studied, and it is interesting to find that, at this size, the onion structure is more favorable than cage and cage-dimer structures. For large clusters, a shell structure of Al60O90 is suggested. Electronic properties and calculations on hydrogen adsorption of these aluminum oxide structures are reported, and we discuss their possible use as hydrogen storage materials.     

Reversible redox-switchable second-order optical nonlinearity in polyoxometalate: a quantum chemical study of [PW11O39(ReN)]n- (n = 3-7)

In this paper, the relationship between the reversible redox properties and the second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) responses for the title series of complexes has been systematically investigated by using the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) method combined with the sum-over-states (SOS) formalism. The results reveal that the successive reduction processes of five PW11ReN redox states should be PW11ReVII (1) --> PW11ReVI (2) --> PW11ReV (3) --> PW11ReV1e ( 4) --> PW 11ReV2e (5). Furthermore, their electrochemical properties have been reproduced successfully. It is noteworthy that the second-order NLO behaviors can be switched by reversible redox for the present studied complexes. Full oxidation constitutes a convenient way to switch off the second-order polarizability (system 1). The incorporation of extra electrons causes significant enhancement in the second-order NLO activity, especially for the third reduced state (system 4), whose static second-order polarizability (betavec) is about 144 times larger than that of fully oxidized 1. The characteristic of the charge-transfer transition corresponding to the dominant contributions to the betavec values indicates that metal-centered redox processes influence the intramolecular donor or acceptor character. Therefore, these kinds of complexes with the facile and reversible redox states could become excellent switchable NLO materials.     

Prediction of the solvation and structural properties of ionic liquids in water by two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy

Two-dimensional vibrational spectroscopy is applied to investigate the dilution process of 1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Emim][BF4]) in water. With increasing water content in ionic liquid (IL)/water mixtures, the C-H stretching vibration of the imidazolium cation showed systematic blue-shifts, which reflect the weakening of the cohesion between the cation and anion of ILs. The two-dimensional IR results reveal that the ILs sense quite different environments during the whole dilution process. First, the three-dimensional network structure of pure ILs was destroyed gradually into ionic clusters, then the clusters were further dissociated into ionic pairs surrounded by water molecules, and finally the latter became the dominant form in bulk water. Within the concentration range we investigated (0.02相似文献   

A new class of functionalized polyoxometalates: synthesis, structure and preliminary antitumor activity studies of three arylimido substituted hexamolybdates bearing a strong electron-withdrawing nitro group, (Bu4N)2[Mo6O18([triple bond]NAr)] (Ar = 3-NO2-C6H4, 2-CH3-4-NO2-C6H3, 2-CH3-5-NO2-C6H3)

Three novel mono-functionalized arylimido derivatives of hexamolybdate bearing the strongest electron-withdrawing nitro group, (Bu(4)N)(2)[Mo(6)O(18)([triple bond, length as m-dash]NAr)] (, and ), have been synthesized for the first time by an improved reaction of octamolybdate ion and 3-nitroaniline hydrochloride, 2-methyl-4-nitroaniline hydrochloride and 2-methyl-5-nitroaniline hydrochloride respectively with DCC (N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide) as a dehydrating agent. Complete assignments were achieved for the title compounds by elemental analysis, IR, (1)H NMR, UV/visible and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. The preliminary antitumor activity test indicated that the title compounds have some effects on the cellular growth inhibition of K562 cells.
