Observation of Na(+)-bound oligomers of quercetin in the gas phase

While developing a liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry method for the analysis of the flavonoid quercitin, it was observed that quercetin (3,3',4',5,7-pentahydroxyflavone) exhibited clustering in both the positive and negative ion mode. Two series of positive ion clusters were observed; the first series corresponds to singly charged [2M + Na](+) at m/z 627.2 to [13M + Na](+) at m/z 3947.5, while the second series corresponds to doubly charged [7M + 2Na](2+) at m/z 1080.4 to [25M + 2Na](2+) at m/z 3798.5. In the negative ion mode, the behavior of quercetin parallels that of apigenin (4',5,7-trihydroxyflavone) in that [M + NO(3)](-), [2M + NO(3)](-), and [3M + NO(3)](-) were observed at m/z 364.1, 666.0, and 968.9, respectively; in addition, quercitin clusters with chloride ions ([2M + Cl](-) at m/z 638.9 and [3M + Cl](-) at m/z 940. 9) were observed. The results of tandem mass spectrometric examination of several cluster ions are reported.

重质油胶体聚集结构的耗散粒子动力学模拟

重质油是以沥青质为胶核分散于饱和油分中形成的极其复杂的胶体体系.本文采用耗散粒子动力学(DPD)方法研究重质油的胶体结构及其影响因素.根据重质油各组分的分子结构特征,构建了描述重质油组分的粗粒化模型化合物.模拟结果表明,本文构建的粗粒化模型能很好地反映重质油的胶体聚集结构.沥青质分子结构对胶体聚集结构有序性有显著影响,较高稠合程度的芳香环结构将使胶束结构有较高的有序性,烷基侧链则表现出分散作用.重质油中的胶质具有胶溶作用,胶质与沥青质的浓度比存在一个极限,当小于这个极限时,重质油将出现聚沉.     

Immunosuppressive Resveratrol Aneuploids from Hopea chinensis

Two novel resveratrol aneuploids, hopeachinols A ( 1 ) and B ( 2 ), as well as a potent immunosuppressive polyphenol diptoindonesin G ( 3 ) were characterized from the ethanol extract of Hopea chinensis stem barks. The structure of the polyphenols was accommodated by comprehensive spectroscopic analysis with the absolute stereochemistry determined by the CD approach coupled with theoretical ECD spectra computer‐generated through the Gaussian 03 program. The distinct structure and biological profile of 3 recommended it as a starting molecule for the relevant drug discovery.     

Chemical Synthesis,Structure Characterization,and Optical Properties of Hollow PbSx–Solid Au Heterodimer Nanostructures

Heterodimer nanostructures have attracted extensive attention, owing to an increasing degree of complexity, functionality, and then importance. So far, all the reported ones are built from solid nanoparticles. Herein, nearly monodisperse heterodimer nanostructures are constructed by hollow PbS_x and solid Au domains simultaneously through a mild reaction between PbS nanocrystals and the gold species in the presence of dodecylamine. Control experiments clearly reveal the underlying formation mechanism of the hollow PbS_x–solid Au heterodimers. The Au^III species in the solution, lead to the etching of PbS nanocrystals and the Au^I species facilitate the control of the number of gold domains per nanoparticle. Dodecylamine molecules not only work as a stabilizer in the reaction, but also act as a reducing agent that could greatly affect the morphology of the product. The optical properties of the heterodimers are investigated based on UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. This novel heterodimer nanostructure pushes the development of complex nanocrystal‐based architectures forward, and also provides many opportunities for potential applications.     

Conformational Studies on Peptides of α‐Aminoxy Acids with Functionalized Side‐Chains

Peptides of homochiral α‐aminoxy acids of nonpolar side chains can form a 1.8₈‐helix. In this paper, we report the conformational studies of α‐aminoxy peptides 1 , 2 , 3 , which have functionalized side chains, in both nonpolar and polar solvents. ¹H NMR, XRD, and FTIR absorption studies confirm the presence of the eight‐membered‐ring intramolecular hydrogen bonds (the N‐O turns) in nonpolar solvents as well as in methanol. CD studies of peptides 1 , 2 , 3 in different solvents indicate that a substantial degree of helical content is retained in methanol and acidic aqueous buffers. The introduction of functionalized side chains in α‐aminoxy peptides provides opportunities for designing biologically active peptides.     

Facile synthesis of a melt-spinnable polyborazine from asymmetric alkylaminoborazine

<正>A novel asymmetric alkylaminoborazine monomer,2-propylamino-4,6-bis(methylamino)borazine,was synthesized for the first time,and directly polymerized to give a melt-spinnable polyborazine(PBN).This asymmetric alkylaminoborazine was synthesized by an aminolysis reaction of 2,4,6-trichloroborazine(TCB) with different amines under mild conditions.This route turns out to be much cheaper and simpler than the conventional routes.The chemical composition,structure,molecular weights and ceramic yield were investigated by EA,FTIR,NMR,GPC and TG analysis.The PBN exhibits suitable rheological property for melt-spinning, which suggests that it is a potential precursor for BN fibers.
