Studies on the Refolding of Egg White Lysozyme Denatured by Urea Using ＂Phase Diagram＂ Method of Fluorescence

The refolding of reduced and non-reducing egg white lysozymes in a urea solution was studied by a ＂phase diagram＂ method of fluorescence. The result showed that in the refolding of the reduced egg white lysozyme, an intermediate state of an egg white lysozyme exists at the urea concentrations in a final renaturation solution being about 4.5 mol/L, their refolding follows a three-state model; while in the refolding of the non-reducing egg white lysozyme, two intermediate states exist at the urea concentrations being separately 4.0 and 2.5 mol/L, and their refolding follows a four-state model. Through the comparison between the unfolding and refolding of an egg white lysozyme in the urea solution, it was found that both of the refolding of reduced and non-reducing egg white lysozyme molecules was irreversible to their unfolding in the urea solution. Finally, a suggested refolding was separately presented for the reduced and non-reducing egg white lysozymes in the urea solution.

Ionization of 1-D model atom in an intense laser field based on asymptotic boundary conditions and symplectic algorithm

In this paper the asymptotic boundary condition (ABC) of 1-D model atom in the intense laser field at the spatial sufficiently far distance is presented using Fourier transformation on the condition that the initial state is local and the atomic potential in the model falls off rapidly. On the basis of this ABC, the symplectic algorithm is developed for computing the model atom in the intense laser field. The ABC and symplectic algorithm are applied to compute the ionization behaviors for 1-D Pöschl–Teller short-range potential. The numerical results illustrate that the ABC and the symplectic algorithm presented are reasonable and effective for 1-D model atom in the intense laser field.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Novel Hetero-bimetallic Complex with a Three-dimensional Network Structure: Bis(malonato)tetra(aqua)calcum(Ⅱ)cobalt(Ⅱ)

The title complex [CaCo(C3H2O4)2(H2O)4]n with a formula of C6H12CaCoO12 and Mr = 375.17 has been synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction. The crystal is of monoclinic, space group C2/c with a = 14.195(9), b = 7.708(5), c = 13.441(8) (A),β = 119.575(9)°,V = 1279.0(14)(A)3, Dc = 1.948 g/cm3, μ = 1.803 mm-1, F(000) = 764 and Z = 4. The final R =0.0245 and wR = 0.0652 for 1344 observed reflections with I ＞ 2o(I). The structure of the title complex consists of CaO8 polyhedra and CoO6 octahedra linked together by malonate ligands. The Ca(Ⅱ) cation on a twofold axis is coordinated by two water molecules and six malonate O atoms.The Co(Ⅱ) cation which lies in a centre of symmetry in an octahedral arrangement is coordinated by four malonate O atoms and two water molecules. The structure comprises alternating layers along the [101] plane, with the shortest Co-Co distance of 6.961(5) (A). The whole 3D structure is maintained and stabilized by the presence of hydrogen bonds.     

双核Cu(I)配合物的热分解非等温动力学

Thermal decomposition process of four benzimidazolyl-containing dicopper(Ⅰ) complexes: [Cu2(OCTB)](ClO4)2•1.5H2O(1), [Cu2 (NMOCTB)](ClO4)2•H2O(2), [Cu2(NBUOCTB)](ClO4)2(3), [Cu2(NBOCTB)](ClO4)2•H2O(4) and their kinetics were studied under the non-isothermal conditions by TG-DTG techniques. The non-isothermal kinetic data were analyzed by means of Achar and Coats-Redfern method respectively. The kinetic equation for the second step of the decomposition of complex (1) can be expressed as: dα/dt=A•exp(-E/RT) •(1-α), the mechanism of this reaction corresponds to "Coring and Growth" with n=1; while for the first step of complex (3) decomposition, dα/dt=A•exp(-E/RT)• (1-α)2, which corresponds to the mechanism of "the second-order chemical reaction".     

A novel coordination polymer with dicyanamide ligand: multi-dimensional architecture stabilized by hydrogen bonding

A novel dicyanamide (dca) complex, [Cu(pn)(dca)₂]_n (pn=1,2-diaminopropane), was synthesized and characterized. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the title complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with β=96.662(6)°, Z=8, and R₁=0.0476, wR₂=0.1094. The complex exhibits one-dimensional zigzag chain structure constructed by μ_1,5-dca bridges. The coordination geometry around the copper atom was a distorted square-pyramid. The spectroscopic and magnetic properties have also been discussed.     

Effect of the semirigid capping ligand on the structure formation of cyano-bridged bimetallic assemblies: syntheses, crystal structures, and magnetic properties

The syntheses, crystal structures, and magnetic properties of three novel cyano-bridged bimetallic assemblies, [Ni(bpm)(2)](3)[Co(CN)(6)](2)x3.5H(2)O (1), [Co(bpm)(2)][Fe(CN)(5)NO]x2H(2)O (2), and [Co(bpm)(2)][Ni(CN)(4)] (3) (bpm = bis(1-pyrazolyl)methane), are reported. Complex 1 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P4(3)2(1)2 with a = 12.800(5) A, b = 12.800(5) A, c = 42.80(3) A, V = 7012(6) A(3), and Z = 8. Complex 2 crystallizes in the chiral trigonal space group P3(2)21 with a = 11.9961(19) A, b = 11.9961(19) A, c = 16.062(5) A, gamma = 120 degrees , V = 2001.7(8) A(3), and Z = 3. Complex 1 is a trigonal bipyramidal complex in which three [Ni(bpm)(2)](2+) units are situated in the equatorial plane and are connected to the two apical [Co(CN)(6)](3)(-) units via three N ends of the cyanide groups. Complex 2 possesses a triangular left-handed helical chain structure composed of [Co(bpm)(2)](2+) linked by [Fe(CN)(5)NO](2)(-); the shortest intramolecular Co...Fe distance is 5.162 A. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first observation of a heteronuclear helical chain structure based on pentacyanonitrosylferrate(II). The structure of complex 3 is roughly determined by X-ray crystallograhy analysis to be a 1D zigzag chain. These structure variations, from a discrete cluster to a 1D helical chain and a 1D zigzag chain, rely on the semirigidity of the capping ligand bpm. Magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate that complex 1 has an intramolecular ferromagnetic interaction (J = 4.06 cm(-)(1)) between the nickel(II) ions; this is further confirmed by the magnetization measurements. In complexes 2 and 3, the cobalt(II) ions are located in a moderately strong field.

1-D water chains constructed by dimer water clusters and edge-sharing cyclic pentamer have been observed in the compound [Co(C4H4O6)(2,2'-bipy) x 5H2O] (1), in which the water chains join the 1-D coordination polymeric chains to a 3-D network through hydrogen-bond interactions.     

Criegee中间体气相反应热力学的G2理论计算

Criegee intermediate is believed to play an important role in the atmospheric chemistry. Because of its short life and the difficulty in experimental study, we carried out ah initio calculations on the thermochemistry of the Criegee involving reactions in this study. Thermochemistry data of reaction enthalpies and Gibbs free energies for four different stable structures of the Criegee intermediates (singlet CH2OO ①1 A1 in C2v, triplet CH2OO ②3B1 in C2v, singlet CH2OO ③1A' in Cs and triplet CH2OO ④ in C1 symmetry) involved in some of the gas-phase reactions were calculated at the standard Gaussian-2 [G2(MP2) and G2] and a modified G2, G2(fu1)[10],levels of theory. Relative energies among those Criegees and formic acid were compared. Chemical reactions include the formation of Criegees, re-arrangement from Criegee to formic acid, dissociations (producing CH2(3B1)+O2, CH2(1A1)+O2, CO2+H2, CO2+2H, CO+H2O, OH+HCO) and the reactions between Criegee and NO/H2O. Standard equilibrium constants for some reactions were investigated and may be obtained for all of the rest reactions involved in this study by the standard Gibbs free energies. It is shown that the formation of Criegee ①-④ by ethylene and ozone, the re-arrangement from any Criegee to formic acid, the dissociation in producing CO2+O2and CO+H2O and the reactions between any Criegee and NO/H2O are all favourable thermodynamicaly. The dissociation in forming CO2+2H and OH+HCO is less favourable. While the dissociation in forming carbene (either in 3B1 or 1A1 state) is not allowed by ΔrGm? values. Standard enthalpies of formation at 298 K for the four Criegees were predicted at the G2(ful) level of theory. Each value is the average value from ten of the above reactions and they are -4.3, 74.8,98.9 and 244.6 kJ mol-1 at the G2(ful) level for Criegee ① to Criegee ④, respectively. In addition, tile standard enthalpy of formation at 298 K for HOCH2OOH is further predicted to be -315.6 kJ mol-1 at the G2(MP2) level.
