Nickel-catalyzed addition of P(O)-H bonds to propargyl alcohols: one-pot generation of phosphinoyl 1,3-butadienes

[reaction: see text] Diphenylphosphine oxide and related P(O)H compounds react with propargyl alcohols at room temperature in the presence of a catalytic amount of Ni(0) complex and Ph(2)P(O)OH to produce high yields of phosphinoyl 1,3-dienes though an efficient in situ dehydration process.     

Biomimetic alcohol oxidations by an iron(III) porphyrin complex: relevance to cytochrome P-450 catalytic oxidation and involvement of the two-state radical rebound mechanism

The systematic oxidation reactions of a wide range of alcohols have been carried out by using an iron porphyrin complex in order to understand their relation to cytochrome P-450 enzymes and to have a practical application to organic synthesis. The iron porphyrin complex catalyzed efficiently alcohol oxidation to the respective carbonyl compound via a high-valent iron-oxo porphyrin intermediate ((Porp)Fe=O+). Several mechanistic studies such as isotope 18O labeling, deuterium isotope effect, linear free energy relationship, and ring-opening of radical clock substrate, have suggested that the alcohol is oxidized by a sequence of reactions involving an alpha-hydroxyalkyl radical intermediate and oxygen rebound to form the gem-diol, dehydration of which yields the carbonyl compounds. Moreover, it has been proposed that a two-state reactivity mechanism can also be adopted for alcohol oxidation reactions in iron porphyrin model systems as exhibited by P-450 enzymes.     

An improved scheme for the identification of antigens recognized by specific antibodies in two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting

This paper describes an improved scheme for the identification of antigens in crude extracts recognized by specific antibodies when analyzed by a combination of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting. First, protein components in gels are electrophoretically transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane which does not shrink or change dimensions in organic solvents. The efficiency of transfer and the localization of sample proteins on the membrane are checked and recorded by staining the blotting membrane with Fast Green FCF and recording the profile on a transparency. After blocking and the immunoassay, the results are recorded by photography. The sites of immune reaction are marked and the same membrane is restained briefly with Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250 for the protein profile. Thus antigens in complex mixtures, recognized by antibodies of interest, can easily be identified from the restained membrane. If the whole protein profile is not well demonstrated, when used in combination with the profile recorded on the transparency, spots appearing on the restained membrane can still be used as useful landmarks in the final unequivocal antigenic identification. This improved scheme circumvents problems arising from membrane shrinkage and difficulties in accurately matching immunoreactive spots by conventional procedures and thus provides an accurate, simple and fast approach in the identification of antigens after immunoblotting.     

拟静态循环法测定稀溶液气液平衡的研究

根据沸点计误差公式,ε≡x_0-x/x=K-1/1+r(r+a)(1)研究设计了能够在r=0的拟静态循环态操作三种新型沸点仪。在稀浓度区,从不同角度进行检证,以期使方法和仪器得以完善。拟静态循环法的原理静态法和双循环法在浓度分布上的差别在于,后者有汽相回流(r>0)从而产生三个浓度区间,使配制浓度x_0代替平衡浓度x有(1)式所示的误差。仅当循环控制在r=0的状态,与静态法等价,称之为拟静态循环态,此时的误差为     

Adsorption enthalpy and desorption enthalpy during displacement of adsorbate to solvent in a liquid-solid system

The adsorption heat of the stoichiometric displacement process for the adsorption of a solute in a liquid-solid system was investigated. On the basis of the SDM-A and the rule of the additivity of energy, an expression which describes the dependence of the adsorption enthalpy on the nature and concentration of the solute, and on the solvent and adsorbent, was derived. The adsorption heat determined for the solute with the traditional method can be divided into two independent fractions, relating to the adsorption of the solute and to the desorption of the solvent. Experimental data on both isotherms from the literatures and precise calorimetry were used to test the adsorption heat and its fractions computed quantitatively via the equations presented in this study, and a satisfactory degree of conformity between them was obtained.

Accurate ionization potentials for UO and UO2: a rigorous test of relativistic quantum chemistry calculations

Accurate ionization potential (IP) measurements provide essential thermodynamic information and benchmark data that can be used to evaluate the validity of electronic structure models. Calculations of the first IP of UO2 using relativistic methods consistently predict values that are approximately 0.7 eV higher than the accepted experimental value. The present measurements validate the theoretical calculations and show that the previous determinations corresponded to the ionization of thermally excited molecules. Similarly, new measurements of the IP for UO show that the currently accepted value is too low by 0.4 eV.

Calix[4]crown in dual sensing functions with FRET

A new calix[4]crown chemosensor based on dual sensing probes reveals Pb²⁺ ion selectivity over other metal ions, which arises from a hypsochromic shift of azo units in UV spectrum as well as a fluorescence enhancement of pyrenyl parts in fluorescence spectrum via a suppressed FRET.     

An all-atom simulation study on intermolecular interaction of DMSO–water system

An all-atom dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) model and a TIP5P water model have been adopted for molecular dynamics simulation. Two new qualities η_rel^E and η_rel are introduced to describe the anomalous nonideal behaviors of DMSO–water mixtures. The simulation is compared with chemical shift and excess enthalpy of mixing, which shows good concentration dependences. In addition, our all-atom simulation also indicates that the C–H groups of DMSO may interact with the oxygen atoms of water and DMSO. The weak C–HO contacts and the strong O–HO hydrogen bonds represent the consistent concentration dependences, which exhibits the cooperation effect.
