Determination of sulfur dioxide in vitriol plant wastewater by using a polyNiMe4TAA electrochemically modified Pt microelectrode

A Pt microelectrode modified with nickel(II) polytetramethyldibenzo[b,i]tetraaza[14]annulene was prepared by electropolymerization of nickel(II) tetramethyldibenzo[b,i]tetraaza[14]annulene monomers and applied to determine sulfur dioxide in vitriol plant wastewater. For determination of SO2 with this electrochemically modified Pt microelectrode, the linear range was from 9.6 x 10(-6) to 2.4 x 10(-4) mol L-1, the sensitivity was 1.8 x 10(-4) A L mol-1, the detection limit was calculated to be 4.8 x 10(-6) mol L-1 (S/N = 3), the response time was less than 20 s and the relative standard deviation was found to be 2.1% on analyzing 4.8 x 10(-5) mol L-1 SO2 solution repeatedly (n = 7). These results demonstrated good accuracy compared with those obtained by the conventional iodimetric method.     

The uranium-Xylidyl Blue I complex and its application in linear sweep polarography

The linear sweep polarographic wave of the uranium-Xylidyl Blue I complex in ethylenediamine-1,10-phenanthroline-hydrochloric acid medium has been studied. The complex, corresponding to UO(2)(XBI)(2-)(2) with log beta' = 9.09 (by polarography), 8.81 (by spectrophotometry), is strongly adsorbed on the surface of the mercury electrode. The polarographic wave is attributed to the reduction of Xylidyl Blue I in the complex. The method is very sensitive with a detection limit of 3 x 10(-8)M. The wave height is proportional to the concentration of uranium over the range 8 x 10(-8)-7 x 10(-6)M. Solvent extraction is used to separate possible interferences. The recommended procedure has been applied to the determination of trace amounts of uranium in ores.     

双核金属酞菁类化合物催化脱硫机理研究Ⅳ──中心金属离子对MPc－PcM催化活性的影响

实验研究结果表明双核金属酞菁类化合物ＭＰｃ－ＰｃＭ（Ｍ＝Ｖ、Ｃｒ、Ｍｎ、Ｆｅ、Ｃｏ、Ｎｉ、Ｃｕ）是催化Ｈ＿２Ｓ液相氧化反应的良好催化剂，且其催化活性顺序为Ｃｏ＞Ｎｉ＞Ｖ＞Ｆｅ＞Ｃｕ＞Ｃｒ＞Ｍｎ．采用量子化学理论计算方法（ＩＮＤＯ／Ｓ）分析了其前线分子轨道的构成特征，结果表明这几种ＭＰｃ－ＰｃＭ的ＬＵＭＯ轨道皆为有金属离子参与形成的π轨道，但ＨＯＭＯ轨道间的差异却很大．Ｍ＝Ｃｏ、Ｎｉ、Ｃｕ、Ｃｒ时，其ＨＯＭＯ为π轨道；而Ｍ＝Ｆｅ、Ｍｎ时，其ＨＯＭＯ却为σ轨道．正是在前线分子轨道的轨道类型、共轭程度及金属轨道贡献三方面因素的协同作用下，才导致ＭＰｃ－ＰｃＭ的催化活性顺序并非按中心金属离子价电子层ｄ电子数的递变而呈现出规律性的变化．     

COMPUTER SIMULATION OF A SINGLE POLYMER CHAIN IN DIFFERENT SOLVENTS

In the present paper, the behavior of a single polymer chain under various solvent conditions was modeled by self-avoiding walks (SAW) with nearest neighbors attraction Δε on a simple cubic lattice. Determination of the θ-condition wasbased on the numerical results of the mean square radius of gyration and end-to-end distance. It was found that at the θtemperatue Δε/kT equals -0.27. The exponents a in the Mark-Houwink equation with different interaction parameters areconsistent with the results of experiments: under θ-condition, a = 0.5, and for a good solvent α= 0.74-0.84, respectively.     

Detection of metalloproteins in human liver cytosol by synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence combined with gel filtration chromatography and isoelectric focusing separation

Synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence (SRXRF) spectroscopy is an advanced method of quantitative multielemental analysis with space resolution of several microm and sensitivities in the microg g(-1) range. It can be used for keeping track of trace elements after an electrophoretic separation of biological samples. In this paper, proteins in human liver cytosol were separated with gel filtration chromatography and thin layer isoelectric focusing (IEF). The contents of metal ions in protein bands were determined by SRXRF. The results showed that in the molecular weight (MW) range of 10 approximately 25 kDa, there were at least 2 Zn-containing bands with isoelectric point (pI) of 5 approximately 6 and 6.2 approximately 7, respectively and about 11 Fe-containing proteins with pI of 4.4, 4.6, 4.8, 5.0, 5.2, 5.3, 5.5, 5.6, 6.6, 6.8, and 7.2, respectively, present in human liver cytosol. The Zn-containing band with pI of 5-6 is the dominant species of zinc in this MW range. In addition, the Cu-containing bands with pI of 5.0 and below 4.8 were also detected. It is demonstrated that the procedure could be widely used in further investigations of the chemical species of trace elements in biological samples.     

Development of high-performance liquid chromatographic fingerprints for distinguishing Chinese Angelica from related umbelliferae herbs

A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) fingerprint of Chinese Angelica (CA) was developed basing on the consistent chromatograms of 40 CA samples (Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels). The unique properties of this HPLC fingerprints were validated by analyzing 13 related herbs including 4 Japanese Angelicae Root samples (JA, A. acutiloba Kitagawa and A. acutiloba Kitagawa var. sugiyame Hikino), 6 Szechwan Lovage Rhizome samples (SL, Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort.) and 3 Cnidium Rhizome samples (CR, Cnidium officinale Makino). Both correlation coefficients of similarity in chromatograms and relative peak areas of characteristic compounds were calculated for quantitative expression of the HPLC fingerprints. The amount of senkyunolide A in CA was less than 30-fold of that in SL and CR samples, which was used as a chemical marker to distinguish them. JA was easily distinguished from CA, SL and CR based on either chromatographic patterns or the amount of coniferyl ferulate. No obvious difference between SL and CR chromatograms except the relative amount of some compounds, suggesting that SL and CR might have very close relationship in terms of chemotaxonomy. Ferulic acid and Z-ligustilide were unequivocally determined whilst senkyunolide I, senkyunolide H, coniferyl ferulate, senkyunolide A, butylphthalide, E-ligustilide, E-butylidenephthalide, Z-butylidenephthalide and levistolide A were tentatively identified in chromatograms based on their atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) MS data and the comparison of their UV spectra with those published in literatures.     

Ligand dynamics and reactivity in trimetallic clusters

The general relationships between trinuclear cluster reactivity and the ligand dynamical processes in these systems are explored. Three specific mechanistic studies are presented: (1) the rate and stereochemistry of ligand addition to ₃-imidoyl complexes, (2) the factors influencing the rate of carbon-hydrogen bond activation in ₃-alkyne complexes, and (3) the origin of anomalously large kinetic deuterium isotope effect in metal to ligand and ligand to metal hydrogen transfer in trinuclear and binuclear complexes. In all three cases, the current state of the mechanistic studies are summarized and the possible rate of specific ligand dynamical processes in controlling the mechanism are put forth.
