四-α-(2，2，4-三甲基-3-戊氧基)酞菁金属配合物(M=Co，Ni，Cu，Zn)的合成与光谱性质(英)

A series of [tetra-α-(2,2,4-tirmethyl-3-pentoxy) phthalocyaninato] metal complexes(M=Co, Ni, Cu, Zn)were prepared by cyclotetramerization of 3-(2,2,4-tirmethyl-3-pentoxy)phthalonitrile with corresponding anhydrous metal salts， using 1.8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0] undec-7-ene (DBU) as the catalyst. HPLC analysis shows that one isomer predominates in the product of nickel complex, while at least two main constitutional isomers exist in the product of other metal complexes. The complexes (in the form of mixture of constitutional isomers) were characterized by elemental analyses, MS, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy.     

Palladium-catalyzed cascade reactions of benzyl halides with N-allyl-N-(2-butenyl)-p-toluenesulfonamide

Reaction of benzyl halides with N-allyl-N-(2-butenyl)-p-toluenesulfonamide 1 in the presence of a palladium catalyst afforded dihydropyrroles 3 in moderate to excellent yields. It is proposed that the cyclic products were formed via a palladium-catalyzed cascade cyclization-coupling process.     

High accuracy mass measurement of peptides with internal calibration using a dual electrospray ionization sprayer system for protein identification

A dual-ESI-sprayer system was constructed and applied to achieve high accuracy of peptide mass measurement for protein identification by means of peptide mapping. Sample was introduced in one sprayer, and reference in the other, thus making internal calibration possible greatly enhancing the mass accuracy. Several samples were utilized to evaluate the reliability of this dual-ESI-sprayer system. The range of mass errors was 0.16-5.37 ppm. The peptide masses of tryptic digests of myoglobin (horse) were measured by the HPLC/dual-ESI-MS system, with mass deviations ranging from 0.01-7.67 ppm, and about 75% mass deviations below 5 ppm with 40% below 1[?]ppm. These peptide masses were utilized to perform database searching for protein identification, and compared to results obtained by external calibration. This comparison showed that the internal calibration provides a more reliable method of protein identification, with a much smaller number of required peptides for matching, and with less CPU time consumed for database searching.     

HPLC of amino acids and oligopeptides by pre-column fluorescence derivatization with N-hydroxysuccinimidyl-α-(9-phenanthrene)-acetate

Summary A sensitive LC method for the detection of amino acids and oligopeptides with pre-column fluorescence derivatization has been developed. Glycine, glycylglycine, triglycine, glutathione, glutamic acid, and cysteine were separated on a reversed-phase C₁₈ column with methanol-water-triethylamine eluent, derivatization and chromatographic conditions were optimized. The six derivatives were eluted in 20 min with good reproducibility. The relative standard derviations (n=6) at an analytical concentration of 2×10⁻⁶ M are <5%. Detection limits (signal-to-noise ratio=3) for the six derivatives are 23–68 fmol.     

Development, validation and transfer of a hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometric method for the analysis of the tobacco-specific nitrosamine metabolite NNAL in human plasma at low picogram per milliliter concentrations

A highly sensitive bioanalytical method based on a simple liquid/liquid extraction and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (HILIC/MS/MS) analysis has been developed, validated and transferred for the determination of 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol (NNAL), a tobacco-specific nitrosamine metabolite. Deuterated NNAL (NNAL-d(4)) was synthesized and used as the internal standard. This method can be used for the analysis of free and total NNAL (free NNAL plus NNAL-gluc) in K(3)-EDTA human plasma. Free NNAL and NNAL-d(4) are extracted from human plasma by liquid/liquid extraction. To analyze for total NNAL and the internal standard, a separate aliquot of the K(3)-EDTA human plasma is treated with beta-glucuronidase to deconjugate the NNAL-gluc; the total NNAL and internal standard are then extracted using liquid/liquid extraction. After drying down under nitrogen, the residue is reconstituted with acetonitrile and analyzed using positive ion electrospray and HILIC/MS/MS at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The chromatographic run time is 1.0 min per injection, with retention time for both NNAL and NNAL-d(4) of 0.75 min with a capacity factor (k') of 2. The standard curve range for this assay is from 5.00-1000 pg/mL for both free and total NNAL, using a total plasma sample volume of 1.0 mL. The interday precision and accuracy of the quality control (QC) samples demonstrated <7.6% relative standard deviation (RSD) and <3.3% relative error (RE) for free NNAL. For total NNAL, the interday precision and accuracy of the QC samples demonstrated <11.7% RSD and <2.8% RE. Optimization of enzyme hydrolysis of NNAL-gluc is discussed in detail. The overall recoveries for free and total NNAL and IS were 68.2 and 71.5% (free) and 70.7 and 65.5% (total). No adverse matrix effects were noticed for this assay.     

Synthesis and characterization of n=5, 6 members of the La4Srn−4TinO3n+2 series with layered structure based upon perovskite

Layered compounds have been synthesized and structurally characterized for the n=5 and 6 members of the perovskite-related family La₄Sr_n−4Ti_nO_3n+2 by combining X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Their structure can be regarded as comprising [(La,Sr)₅Ti₅O₁₇] and [(La,Sr)₆Ti₆O₂₀] perovskite blocks joined by crystallographic shears along the a-axis, with consecutive blocks shifted by 1/2 [100]_p. The n=5 member is similar to the previously reported n=5 member of other A_nB_nO_3n+2-related series. The n=6 member, which has only been briefly reported in other systems previously, is also a well-behaved member of this A_nB_nO_3n+2 series.     

Structure and stability of thiourea with water, DFT and MP2 calculations

The relative stabilities of thiourea in water are investigated computationally by considering thiourea–water complexes containing up to 1–6 water molecules (CS(NH₂)₂(H₂O)_n=1–6) using density functional theory and MP2 ab initio molecular orbital theory. The results show that the thiourea complex is stable and has an unusually high affinity for incoming water molecules. The clusters are progressively stabilized by the addition of water molecules, as indicated by the increasing of the binding energy. The binding energy of the cluster to each H₂O molecule is about 33 kJ mol⁻¹ for n=1–5.The C–S bond, N–C bond distance, Mulliken populations and binding energy keep approximately constant as the clusters increase in size with an increasing number of H₂O molecules. As the solvation progresses, the C–S distance increases monotonically while the Mulliken populations on the C–S bond reduces monotonically with the addition of each H₂O molecule, indicating that the C–S bond of the thiourea unit in the clusters is de-stabilized with an increasing number of H₂O molecules. Charge transfers for the clusters are mainly found at N, S atoms of the thiourea.     

Development of miniaturized multi-channel high-performance liquid chromatography for high-throughput analysis

We have developed miniaturized multi-channel high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system. With this system, we can simultaneously separate multiple samples, using a single high-pressure gradient pump, a chip-based sample injection unit, a monolithic silica capillary column array, and a multi-channel UV detection unit based on fiber optics. The injection unit has a simplified structure composed of brass housing and a quartz microchip having microchannels and access ports, which enable a direct injection of sample to multi-channel by commercial multichannel micropipette. Moreover, that possesses a function of microvalve, and on-chip definition of sample injection plugs achieved with a cross channel injection method, providing each column of monolithic silica capillary array. The substances in channels were simultaneously detected with UV having multiple cells. Standard samples were analyzed for characterizing newly developed system, and sharp peaks were obtained with reproducibility data of < 0.9% (R.S.D.). Analysis of tryptic digestion of casein was also employed. These results show that the novel multi-channel HPLC system has the benefits for the high-throughput analysis in the post-genomic analysis/combinatorial chemistry.     

Infrared (1.2-1.6 microm) luminescence in Cr4+:Yb3Al5O12 single crystal with 940 nm diode pumping

Infrared (1.2-1.6 microm) luminescence in a ytterbium aluminium garnet (YbAG) crystal, doped with Cr (0.05at.%) ions, was investigated under CW laser diode pumping (lambda=940 nm). The Cr4+ emission band was observed with its peak at 1.34 microm and measured to be about 1.3 times with respect to Yb3+ IR luminescence (lambda=1.03 microm). We demonstrate that for the excitation wavelength of 940 nm Yb3+ ions act as sensitizers of the 3B2(3T2)-3B1(3A2) emission of Cr4+ ions. This crystal is promising as a high-efficient system for tunable laser (1.2-1.6 microm) output.
