Several N-alkyl and N-phenyl derivatives of 6-amino- () and 6,6'-diamino-2,2':6',2'-terpyridine () were synthesized, and their fluorescence properties were studied. A successive red-shift was observed as the number of the N-substituted groups increased. It was also shown that the susceptivity of the fluorophores to a solvent varied considerably according to the mode of the N-substitution. While the monoamino-tpys (tpy: 2,2':6',2'-terpyridine) suffered almost complete quenching of their fluorescence in ethanol, the fully N-alkylated diamino-tpys and retained their fluorescence. The results show that N-substitution is a useful way to tune both the radiation energy and solvent susceptivity of the fluorescence of the amino-tpys. 相似文献
With the hope of mimicking the chemical and biological properties of natural 6-O-methyl-D-glucose-containing polysaccharides (MGPs), synthetic 6-O-methyl-D-glucose-containing polysaccharides (sMGPs) were designed and synthesized from alpha-, beta-, and gamma-cyclodextrins (CDs). The synthetic route proved to be flexible and general, to furnish a series of sMGPs ranging from 6-mer to 20-mer. A practical and scalable method was discovered selectively to cleave the CD derivatives and furnish the linear precursors to the glycosyl donors and acceptors. The Mukaiyama glycosidation was adopted to couple the glycosyl donors with the glycosyl acceptors. Unlike in the 3-O-methyl-D-mannose-containing polysaccharide (sMMP) series, the amount of the Mukaiyama acid required in the sMGP series increased with an increase of substrate size; that is, for large oligomers, more than one equivalent of the acid was required. 相似文献
Three anthraquinones, Cdc25B phosphatase inhibitors, were isolated from the methanolic extract of the roots of Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. (Polygonaceae). Anthraquinones, physcion (1), emodin (2), and questin (3), inhibited the enzymatic activity of Cdc25B phosphatase with IC(50) values of 62.5, 30, and 34 microg mL(-1), respectively. Emodin (2) and questin (3) strongly inhibited the growth of human colon cancer cells, SW620 with GI(50) values of 6.1 and 0.9 microg mL(-1), respectively. Commercially available anthraquinones, chrysophanol (4), and rhein (5) also inhibited Cdc25B phosphatase with IC(50) values of 10.7 and 22.1 microg mL(-1), respectively. 相似文献
In the Cohen–Glashow Very Special Relativity we exhibit possible modifications to the Maxwell theory and to the quantum electrodynamics Lagrangian in some generality, and discuss characteristic features depending on the modifications. Modified gauge transformations in SIM(2)-invariant theories are introduced and the related gauge fields, with two polarization states, can have nonzero mass. Also considered are SIM(2)-covariant modifications to the Proca-type field equations for a massive spin-1 particle. 相似文献
The factors determining the spectroscopic characteristics of the v(1)-SO4(2-) band of the MgSO4 ion pairs are discussed via ab initio calculation, including coupling effect, hydrogen bonding effect, and direct contact effect of Mg2+ with SO4(2-). With the calculation of the heavy water hydrated contact ion pairs (CIP), the overlap between the librations of water and the v(1)-SO4(2-) band can be separated, and thus the coupling effect is abstracted, and this coupling effect leads to a blue shift for the v(1)-SO4(2-) band of 5.6 cm(-1) in the monodentate CIP and 3.6 cm(-1) in the bidentate CIP. The hydrogen bonding between each water molecule without relation to Mg2+ and the sulfate ion makes the v(1)-SO4(2-) band blue shift of 3.7 cm(-1). When the outer-sphere water around Mg2+ are hydrogen bonded between SO4(2-) and Mg2+, it will make the largest disturbance to the v(1)-SO4(2-) band. Moreover, the inner-sphere water can affect the v(1)-SO4(2-) band conjunct with the direct contact of Mg2+ with SO4(2-), showing a blue shift of 14.4 cm(-1) in the solvent-shared ion pair, 22.6 cm(-1) in the monodentate CIP, 4.3 cm(-1) in the bidentate CIP, and 21.4 cm(-1) in the tridentate CIP. At last, the Raman spectral evolution in the efflorescence production process is tried to be rationalized. The shoulder at 995 cm(-1) is attributed to the monodentate CIP with 2-3 outer-sphere water molecules, whereas the new peak at 1021 cm(-1) at high concentration is assigned to the formation of aqueous triple ion. 相似文献
Quick on the uptake : Palladium nanoparticles were fabricated simply by immersing {[Zn3(ntb)2(EtOH)2]?4 EtOH}n ( 1 ) in an MeCN solution of Pd(NO3)2 at room temperature, without any extra reducing agent. 3 wt % PdNPs@[ 1 ]0.54+(NO3?)0.54 significantly increase H2 uptake capacities, both at 77 K and 1 bar and at 298 K and high pressures (see picture, red curve) compared to [Zn3(ntb)2]n (black). ntb=4,4′,4′′‐nitrilotrisbenzoate.
Using the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality, we give bounds for k-subpermanents of nonnegative n×n matrices F. In the case k=n, we exhibit an n2-set S whose arithmetic and geometric means constitute upper and lower bounds for per(F)/n!. We offer sharpened versions of these bounds when F has zero-valued entries. 相似文献
By the approaches of the theory of complex variable functions, the problems of dynamic mode I crack under the condition of
displacement boundary are investigated. For this kind of dynamic crack extension problems with arbitrary index of self-similarity,
the universal representations of analytical solutions are facilely deduced by the methods of self-similar functions. Analytical
solutions of the stresses, displacements and stress intensity factors are readily acquired using the methods of self-similar
functions. The problems studied can be very easily translated into Riemann–Hilbert problems and their closed solutions are
gained rather straightforward in terms of this technique. According to corresponding material properties, the mutative rule
of stress intensity factor was illustrated very well. Using those solutions and superposition theorem, the solutions of arbitrarily
complex problems can be attained. 相似文献
