Path integral Monte Carlo simulation of the absorption spectra of an Al atom embedded in helium

We use a multilevel path integral Monte-Carlo (PIMC) method to simulate the arrangement of He atoms around a single Al atom doped in a He cluster. High-level ab initio Al-He pair potentials and a Balling and Wright pairwise Hamiltonian model are used to describe the full potential and the electronic asymmetry arising from the open-shell character of the Al atom in its ground and excited electronic states. Our calculations show that the doping of the Al 3p electron strongly influences the He packing. The results of the PIMC simulation are used to predict the electronic excitation spectrum of an Al atom embedded in He clusters. With inclusion of tail corrections for the ground and excited states potentials, the calculated 3d<--3p spectrum agrees reasonably well with the experimental spectrum. The blueshift of the calculated spectrum associated with the 4s<--3p transition of solvated Al is about 25 nm (2000 cm-1) larger than seen in experiments on Al embedded in bulk liquid He. We predict that the spectrum associated with the 4p<--3p transition will be blueshifted by approximately 7000 cm-1 (nearly 1 eV).     

Immobilization of glucose oxidase with the blend of regenerated silk fibroin and poly(vinyl alcohol) and its application to a 1,1′- dimethylferrocene-mediating glucose sensor

The structure and properties of the blend of regenerated silk fibroin (RSF) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) were investigated. The two polymers in the blend are in the state of phase segregation. Infrared (IR) spectra indicate that the RSF in the blend maintains its intrinsic properties, thus, ethanol treatment can transfer silk I structure of RSF to silk II structure. The water absorption property and mechanical property of the blend are improved in comparison with those of RSF. The blend maintains the major merit of RSF, that is, it can immobilize glucose oxidase on the basis of the conformational transition from silk I structure to silk II structure. The properties of the immobilized enzyme are examined. Moreover, the second generation of glucose sensor based on the immobilized enzyme is fabricated and it has a variety of advantages including easy maintenance of enzyme, simplicity of construction, fast response time and high stability.

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Electrochemistry Properties of a (N,N'-Ethylene-bis(salicylaldiminato)) Nickel(Ⅱ) Complex, [Ni2(salen)2]·NCS-NH4

A new Ni(Ⅱ) complex [Ni2(salen)2]·(NCS)·NH4 (salen = N,N'-bis(salicylidenea-mino)ethanato) has been prepared and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra and single crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Pbca with a = 16.8725(13), b = 19.0046(15), c = 20.0583(16) (A), Z = 8, V = 6431.8(9) (A)3, C33H32N6Ni2O4S1, Mr= 726.13, Dc = 1.500 g/cm3, F(000) = 3008, μ = 1.284 mm-1, the final R = 0.0394 and wR = 0.0767 for 4449 observed reflections with Ⅰ＞2σ(Ⅰ). The complex involves a N,N'-ethylene-bis(salicylaldiminato) Schiff base, an isothiocyanato anion and an ammonium cation. The nickle(Ⅱ) ion adopts a distorted square coordination geometry with N2O2 set of Schiff base ligand. The complexes are linked into a dimmer via intermolecular hydrogen bonds and the [Ni(salen)] moieties are connected together to form a 2-D layer structure by intermolecular N-H…O hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking. Cyclic-voltammetry method was used to characterize electrochemically the complex.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 3,3,6,6-Tetramethyl-N-hydroxy-9-ethyl-1,8-dioxo-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10-decahydroacridine

1 INTRODUCTION 1,4-Dihydropyridines (1,4-DHPs) are well-knowncompounds because of their pharmacological pro-perty as calcium channel modulators[1, . The che- 2]mical modifications, such as the introduction of dif-ferent substituents[3, or heteroatoms[5], of the DHP 4]ring have allowed the expansion of researches onthe structure-activity relationship to gain new in-sights into the molecular interactions at the receptorlevel. In fact, it is well established th…     

Staphylionosides A-K: megastigmane glucosides from the leaves of Staphylea bumalda DC

Chemical investigation of leaves of Staphylea bumalda DC., collected in the suburbs of Hiroshima City, afforded 11 new megastigmane glucosides, named staphylionosides A-K (3-13), along with two known megastigmane glucosides (1, 2). The relative structures were elucidated from spectroscopic evidence, and the absolute structures of the aglycones were determined by means of the combination of beta-D-glucosylation-induced shift-trends and the modified Mosher's method.     

Synthesis, antitumor and DNA photocleaving activities of novel naphthalene carboxamides: effects of different thio-heterocyclic rings and aminoalkyl side chains

Two kinds of thio-heterocyclic fused naphthalene carboxamides, 3a-b, 4a-b, were designed, synthesized and quantitatively evaluated as efficient antitumor and DNA photocleaving agents. Compound 3a or 3b, having the thiophene ring, intercalated into DNA more strongly than compound 4a or 4b, having the thioxanthene ring. Compound 4a or 4b, photocleaved DNA more efficiently than 3a or 3b via superoxide anion. Compound 4a was the strongest inhibitor for P388 (murine leukemia cell), while 3a was the most cytotoxic one against A549 (human lung cancer cell). Each new compound showed stronger DNA photocleaving activity than corresponding naphthalimide.
