Fingerprints of Phalaenopsis Tissues in Growth and Spike Induction Periods—A Solid‐state 13C NMR Approach

Solid‐state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (ss‐NMR) ¹³C single‐pulse excitation spectroscopy in combination with the magic‐angle spinning (MAS) technique was applied to a series of Phalaenopsis tissues, including the leaf, sheath, stem, and root, at different growth and spiking periods. Compared with{¹H}/¹³C cross‐polarization MAS spectra, the ¹³C single‐pulse excitation MAS spectra displayed very distinct spectral patterns, recognizable as fingerprints of the tissues studied. ¹Here, we demonstrate that solid‐state ¹³C single‐pulse excitation NMR spectroscopy provides a direct and robust analytical tool for studying the various tissues of Phalaenopsis in different growth and spiking induction periods.     

Synthesis of [1,2,3]Triazolo[5,1-a]isoquinoline Derivatives via a Selective Cascade Cyclization Sequence of 1,2-bis(Phenylethynyl)benzene Derivatives

A direct, concise, synthetic method for the generation of [1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-a]isoquinoline derivatives, using a selective cascade cyclization of unsymmetrical substituted 1,2-bis(phenylethynyl)benzene derivatives with NaN₃, has been developed. The reaction gave different substituted [1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-a]isoquinolines in moderate to good yields. It was found that the substituents on the alkynes were important for the selectivities of the cascade cyclization sequences.     

From Zero‐dimensional to One‐dimensional: Use of Metal‐­Ligand Affinity in Supramolecular Assembly

The self‐assembly of 4 ‐ MTPP [ 4 ‐ MTPP = 2‐(methylthio)‐4‐(pyridin‐4‐yl)pyrimidine] with Cu(NO₃)₂ and AgNO₃ was structurally investigated. For Cu(NO₃)₂, a discrete mononuclear Cu^II coordination compound, [Cu( 4 ‐ MTPP )₂(NO₃)₂] ( 1 ), resulted that is exclusively based on Cu–N coordination. For AgNO₃, a unique one‐dimensional double‐chain structure ( 2 ) was obtained with the Ag–N distances varying from 2.181(9) to 2.223(9) Å, and the average Ag–S distance being 2.98 Å. Compared to zero‐dimensional 1 , the extension to one‐dimensional 2 is considered to result from the specific affinity between Ag⁺ and the ligand 4 ‐ MTPP that is attributed to the strong coordinating tendency of silver for aromatic nitrogen and thioether sulfur atoms.     

Synthesis,Structures, and Luminescent Properties of two 3, 5‐Dimethyl‐1‐H‐1, 2,4‐triazole‐Based Zinc Metal‐Organic Frameworks with Aromatic Carboxylate as Coligand

Two metal‐organic frameworks, [Zn(dmtrz)(btrc)_1/3]_n ( 1 ) and [Zn₂(dmtrz)₂(btec)(H₂O)₂]_n ( 2 ) (dmtrz = 3, 5‐dimethyl‐1‐H‐1, 2,4‐triazole, btrc = 1, 3,5‐benzenetricarboxylate, btec = 1, 2,4, 5‐benzenetetracarboxylate), were synthesized by hydrothermal reaction. The crystal structure analysis reveals that compound 1 is a dense 3D framework with Schläfli symbols of {4³}₂{4⁶ · 6⁶ · 8³}₃, which is a loh1 structure. Compound 2 is a 2D network. In addition, the photoluminescence of two compounds were studied in solid state at room temperature, together with their thermal analysis.     

N‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidonium methyl sulfonate acidic ionic liquid as a new dynamic coating for separation of basic proteins by capillary electrophoresis

A simple and economical CE method has been developed for the analysis of four model basic proteins by employing N‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidonium methyl sulfonate ionic liquid (IL) as the dynamic coating material based on the interaction of both between electrostatic attraction and hydrogen bond, and between the organic cations of IL and the inner surface of bare fused‐silica capillary. The N‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidonium‐based IL modified capillary not only generated a stable suppressed electroosmotic flow, but also effectively eliminated the wall adsorption of proteins. Several important parameters such as the IL concentration, pH values, and concentrations of the background electrolyte were optimized to improve the separation of basic proteins. Consequently, under the optimum separation conditions, a satisfied separation of basic proteins including lysozyme, cytochrome c, ribonuclease A, and α‐chymotrypsinogen A with theoretical plates ranging from 2.09 × 10⁵ to 4.48 × 10⁵ plates/m had been accomplished within 15 min. The proposed method first illustrated the effect of hydrogen bond between coating material and inner capillary surface on the coating, which should be a new strategy to design and select more effective coating materials to form more stable coatings in CE.

Electrochemical‐Reduction‐Assisted Assembly of a Polyoxometalate/Graphene Nanocomposite and Its Enhanced Lithium‐Storage Performance

Herein, we present an electrochemically assisted method for the reduction of graphene oxide (GO) and the assembly of polyoxometalate clusters on the reduced GO (rGO) nanosheets for the preparation of nanocomposites. In this method, the Keggin‐type H₄SiW₁₂O₄₀ (SiW₁₂) is used as an electrocatalyst. During the reduction process, SiW₁₂ transfers the electrons from the electrode to GO, leading to a deep reduction of GO in which the content of oxygen‐containing groups is decreased to around 5 %. Meanwhile, the strong adsorption effect between the SiW₁₂ clusters and rGO nanosheets induces the spontaneous assembly of SiW₁₂ on rGO in a uniformly dispersed state, forming a porous, powder‐type nanocomposite. More importantly, the nanocomposite shows an enhanced capacity of 275 mAh g^?1 as a cathode active material for lithium storage, which is 1.7 times that of the pure SiW₁₂. This enhancement is attributed to the synergistic effect of the conductive rGO support and the well‐dispersed state of the SiW₁₂ clusters, which facilitate the electron transfer and lithium‐ion diffusion, respectively. Considering the facile, mild, and environmentally benign features of this method, it is reasonable as a general route for the incorporation of more types of functional polyoxometalates onto graphene matrices; this may allow the creation of nanocomposites for versatile applications, for example, in the fields of catalysis, electronics, and energy storage.     

Sb,Bi,Zr,Si元素微量掺杂对荧光粉YAG∶Ce发光性能的影响

采用高温固相法分别合成了Sb³⁺,Bi³⁺,Zr⁴⁺,Si⁴⁺共掺杂的YAG:Ce黄色荧光粉。研究了YAG:Ce黄色荧光粉的发光强度随元素种类以及微量掺杂浓度的变化情况及相关机理。结果显示,随着元素Sb³⁺,Bi³⁺,Zr⁴⁺,Si⁴⁺掺杂浓度的增加,发射峰强度均表现出先增大后减小的趋势。Sb³⁺,Bi³⁺与Ce³⁺之间存在多极子相互作用的共振传递及晶格修复作用,当Sb³⁺,Bi³⁺掺杂浓度分别为0.5和0.1 mmol时发射峰强度达到最大值,分别提高了35.5%和44.8%。在YAG:Ce中由于Zr⁴⁺,Si⁴⁺的电荷补偿作用,促进Ce⁴⁺→Ce³⁺的转化,从而提高了YAG:Ce的发光强度。Zr⁴⁺,Si⁴⁺掺杂浓度分别在0.3和7 mmol时达到最大值,分别提高了27.4%和31.2%。由荧光粉颗粒形貌可知,Sb³⁺,Bi³⁺,Zr⁴⁺,Si⁴⁺元素的微量掺杂能促使晶粒长大,并且近似球型,导致发光强度有明显的提高。     

Additive hazards regression with random effects for clustered failure times

Additive hazards model with random effects is proposed for modelling the correlated failure time data when focus is on comparing the failure times within clusters and on estimating the correlation between failure times from the same cluster, as well as the marginal regression parameters. Our model features that, when marginalized over the random effect variable, it still enjoys the structure of the additive hazards model. We develop the estimating equations for inferring the regression parameters. The proposed estimators are shown to be consistent and asymptotically normal under appropriate regularity conditions. Furthermore, the estimator of the baseline hazards function is proposed and its asymptotic properties are also established. We propose a class of diagnostic methods to assess the overall fitting adequacy of the additive hazards model with random effects. We conduct simulation studies to evaluate the finite sample behaviors of the proposed estimators in various scenarios. Analysis of the Diabetic Retinopathy Study is provided as an illustration for the proposed method.     

Homoclinic orbits for first order Hamiltonian systems with some twist conditions

In this paper, we study the nonperiodic first-order Hamiltonian system ù = J L(t)u +J H(t, u), where H ∈ C1(R × R2n). With some assumptions on L, the corresponding Hamiltonian operator has only discrete spectrum. By using the index theory for self-adjoint operator equation,we establish the existence of multiple homoclinic orbits for the asymptotically quadratic nonlinearty satisfying some twist conditions between infinity and origin.
