Theoretical study of p‐methacryloyl‐aminophenylarsonic acid

Conformations of p‐methacryloylaminophenylarsonic acid (p‐MAPHA) are determined through molecular mechanics and DFT/B3LYP calculations. Solvation effects are studied within the self‐consistent isodensity continuum model (SCI‐PCM). The stationary points were found to correspond to minima as verified by the analysis of vibrational frequencies in the molecule. The molecular optical absorption was obtained by using different solvent environments. The present results are in good agreement with the available experimental data. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Migration of 99Tc in a Weak Loess Aquifer: A Field Column Experiment

The migration of ⁹⁹Tc in a weak loess aquifer was investigated in-situ with undisturbed aquifer medium columns. The columns were obtained horizontally at a depth of 3236 m in an Underground Research Facility (URF). Quartz containing ³H (HTO) and ⁹⁹Tc (in the form of ⁹⁹TcO₄ ^-) was introduced into one end of the columns and the columns were covered tightly. Aquifer water was introduced into the columns directly from an experimental shaft in the UFR. Effluents from the columns were collected and the activity of ³H and ⁹⁹Tc were determined with a liquid scintillation analyzer. The breakthrough curves of ³H and ⁹⁹Tc indicate that ⁹⁹Tc migrates a little faster than that ³H does in the aquifer.     

Study on the Interaction between Gatifloxacin Mesylate and Salmon Sperm DNA by Fluorescence Method

The interaction between gatifloxacin mesylate (GM) and salmon sperm DNA was studied by fluorescence spectrometry and ultra‐violet (UV) spectrometry. Additions of salmon sperm DNA to GM solution resulted in its strong fluorescence quenching and UV absorbance decrease due to the strong interaction between GM and salmon sperm DNA. Both the maximum fluorescence emission wavelength and the maximum UV absorbance wavelength of GM did not change with the increasing concentration of salmon sperm DNA, indicating no intercalative binding existed between them. The Stern‐Volmer plot indicated that the fluorescence‐quenching constant at different temperatures or different salmon sperm DNA concentration ranges was different. Effects of ionic strength and I^? on the fluorescence quenching of GM by salmon sperm DNA indicated that electrostatic interaction and groove binding coexisted between them.     

Electrochemical Preparation of Poly(Malachite Green) Film Modified Nafion‐Coated Glassy Carbon Electrode and Its Electrocatalytic Behavior Towards NADH,Dopamine and Ascorbic Acid

Poly(malachite green) film modified Nafion‐coated glassy carbon electrodes have been prepared by potentiodynamic cycling in malachite green solution. The pH of polymerisation solution has only minor effect on film formation. Electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) was used to monitor the growth of the poly(malachite green) film. Cyclic voltammogram of the poly(malachite green) film shows a redox couple with well‐defined peaks. The redox response of the modified electrode was found to be depending on the pH of the contacting solution. The peak potentials were shifted to a less positive region with increasing pH and the dependence of the peak potential was found to be 56 mV per pH unit. The electrocatalytic behavior of poly(malachite green) film modified Nafion‐coated glassy carbon electrodes was tested towards oxidation of NADH, dopamine, and ascorbic acid. The oxidation of dopamine and ascorbic acid occurred at less positive potential on poly(malachite green) film compared to bare glassy carbon electrode. In the case of NADH, the overpotential was reduced substantially on modified electrode. Finally, the feasibility of utilizing poly(malachite green) film electrode in analytical estimation of ascorbic acid was demonstrated in flow injection analysis.

Solution chemistry of uranyl ion with iminodiacetate and oxydiacetate: A combined NMR/EXAFS and potentiometry/calorimetry study

The solution chemistry of uranyl ion with iminodiacetate (IDA) and oxydiacetate (ODA) was investigated using NMR and EXAFS spectroscopies, potentiometry, and calorimetry. From the NMR and EXAFS data and depending on stoichiometry and pH, three types of metal:ligand complex were identified in solution in the pH range 3-7: 1:1 and 1:2 monomers; a 2:2 dimer. From NMR and EXAFS data for the IDA system and previous studies, we propose the three complex types are [UO(2)(IDA)(H(2)O)(2)], [UO(2)(IDA)(2)](2)(-), and [(UO(2))(2)(IDA)(2)(mu-OH)(2)](2)(-). From EXAFS spectroscopy, similar 1:1, 2:2, and 1:2 complexes are found for the ODA system, although (13)C NMR spectroscopy was not a useful probe in this system. For the 1:1 and 1:2 complexes in solution, EXAFS spectroscopy is ambiguous because the data can be fitted with either a long U-N/O(ether) value (ca. 2.9 A) suggesting 1,7-coordination of the ligand or a U-C interaction at a similar distance, consistent with terminal bidentate coordination. However, the NMR data of the IDA system suggest that 1,7-coordination is the more likely. The stability constants of the three complexes were determined by potentiometric titrations; the log beta values are 9.90 +/-, 16.42 +/-, and 10.80 +/- for the 1:1, 1:2, and 2:2 uranyl-IDA complexes, respectively, and 5.77 +/-, 7.84 +/-, and 4.29 +/- for the 1:1, 1:2, and 2:2 uranyl-ODA complexes, respectively. The thermodynamic constants for the complexes were calculated from calorimetric titrations; the enthalpy changes (kJ mol(-)(1)) and entropy changes (J K(-)(1) mol(-)(1)) of complexation for the 1:1, 1:2, and 2:2 complexes respectively are the following. IDA: 12 +/- 2, 230 +/- 8; 8 +/- 2, 151 +/- 9; -33 +/- 3, -283 +/- 11. ODA: 26 +/- 2, 198 +/- 12; 20 +/- 2, 106 +/- 8; -24 +/- 2; -219 +/- 8.     

Hydrogen bonding networks controllable by the substitution position of tetrathiafulvalene on the pyridine ring

Because of the effect of pyridine on the substituent position on the TTF group, TTF derivatives exhibit different assembly structures at the interface, which will be of great significance to the construction of functional nanostructures from the molecular design point of view.
