阴离子型芘基探针用于水体中对硝基苯胺的荧光检测

本研究利用阴离子型芘衍生物8-羟基芘-1,3,6-三磺酸三钠盐(HPTS),建立了一种快速、可视化的对硝基苯胺(PNA)荧光检测方法.检测原理主要是基于PNA通过非共价作用而导致的HPTS的荧光淬灭.通过测量加入PNA后HPTS在512 nm处荧光强度的变化,可以实现PNA的荧光检测.本方法的线性范围为10~120μmol/L,检出限(3σ/s)为4.6μmol/L.对本方法的抗干扰性以及方法的实际应用性进行了考察.结果表明,本方法具有低成本、高灵敏度、高选择性、操作简便等优点.     

Structure Evolution upon Uniaxial Drawing Skin‐ and Core‐Layers of Injection‐Molded Isotactic Polypropylene by In Situ Synchrotron X‐ray Scattering

The structure evolution of the oriented layer (skin) and unoriented layer (core) from injection‐molded isotactic polypropylene samples upon uniaxial drawing is probed by in situ synchrotron X‐ray scattering. The X‐ray data analysis approach, called “halo method”, is used to semiquantitatively identify the transformation process of crystal phase upon uniaxial drawing. The results verify the validation of the stress‐induced crystal fragmentation and recrystallization process in the deformation of the injection‐molded samples under different temperatures. Furthermore, the end of strain softening region in the engineering stress‐strain curves explicitly corresponds to the transition point from the stress‐induced crystal fragmentation to recrystallization process. Basically, the skin and core layers of the injection‐molded parts share the similar deformation mechanism as aforementioned. The stretching temperature which dramatically affects the relative strength between the entanglement‐induced tie chains and the adjacent crystalline lamellae determines the crystal structural evolution upon drawing. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Terpenoids from Roots of Chloranthus spicatus

Five new terpenoids, including four eudesmane‐type sesquiterpenoids, 1 – 4 , and one labdane‐type diterpenoid, 6 , together with ten known compounds, were isolated from the roots of Chloranthus spicatus. The structures and their relative configurations were mainly established by 1D‐ and 2D‐NMR spectra, and MS experiments.     

Biologically Active Iridoids from Hedyotis diffusa

Two new iridoids, 10‐O‐benzoyl‐6′‐O‐α‐L ‐arabino(1→6)‐β‐D ‐glucopyranosylgeniposidic acid ( 1 ), deacetyl‐6‐ethoxyasperulosidic acid methyl ester ( 2 ), along with 14 other known iridoids, were isolated from the whole plant of Hedyotis diffusa Willd. Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic analysis. The short‐term‐memory‐enhancement activities of compounds 1, 7 – 9, 11 , and 13 were evaluated on an Aβ transgenic drosophila model.     

Supramolecular networks of 10‐(2‐hydroxyethyl)acridin‐9(10H)‐one and 10‐(2‐chloroethyl)acridin‐9(10H)‐one

Both 10‐(2‐hydroxyethyl)acridin‐9(10H)‐one, C₁₅H₁₃NO₂, and 10‐(2‐chloroethyl)acridin‐9(10H)‐one, C₁₅H₁₂ClNO, have monoclinic (P2₁/c) symmetry and supramolecular three‐dimensional networks. But the differences in the intermolecular interactions displayed by the hydroxy group and the chlorine substituent lead to stronger intermolecular π‐stacking interactions and hydrogen bonding, and hence a significantly higher melting point for the former.     

Diffraction enhanced imaging of soft tissues

The APS hosted a two-day workshop on Catalysis Research at the APS on September 12-13, 2005. The goal of the workshop was to evaluate current catalysis-related research at the APS and to plan future directions. The outcome of the meeting will be a report with recommendations to promote new, and support current, catalysis research at the APS. The workshop was attended by 82 participants representing industry, national laboratories, and universities.     

Solvatochromic Behavior of Chiral Mesoporous Metal–Organic Frameworks and Their Applications for Sensing Small Molecules and Separating Cationic Dyes

Two anionic metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with 1D mesoporous tubes ( 1 ) and chiral mesoporous cages ( 2 ) have been rationally constructed by means of a predesigned size‐extended hexatopic ligand, namely, 5,5′,5′′‐(1,3,5‐triazine‐2,4,6‐triyl)tris‐ (azanediyl)triisophthalate (TATAT). Charge neutrality is achieved by protonated dimethylamine cations. Notably, the two MOFs can be used to separate large molecules based on ionic selectivity rather than the size‐exclusion effect so far reported in the literature. Owing to the imino triazine backbone and carboxyl groups of the hexatopic ligand, which provide important host–guest interactions, rare solvatochromic phenomena of 1 and 2 are observed on incorporating acetone and ethanol guests. Furthermore, guest‐dependent luminescence properties of compound 2 were investigated, and the results show that luminescence intensity is significantly enhanced in toluene and benzene, while quenching effects are observed in acetone and ethanol. Thus, compound 2 may be a potential material for luminescent probes.
