Synthesis and Characterization of Fluoro- and Chloro- bimetallic Alkoxides as Precursors for Luminescent Metal Oxide Materials via Sol-Gel Technique

Heterobimetallic alkoxides are broadly recognized as versatile precursors for luminescence materials, and efforts are being made to develop novel routes by applying the concept of geometrical molecular design, for their synthesis and to design a single source precursor suited to photoluminescent materials. Novel and new series of bimetallic alkoxides has been prepared by metathesis route. They exhibit a lower sensitivity towards hydrolysis and so they are easier to handle as compared to other alkoxides. All the compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR and multinuclear NMR spectroscopies. FT-IR revealed that the molecular structure of these metal alkoxides was retained to a large extent in 4 ： 1 halogenated alcohol-benzene solution. The heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy provided useful information about chemical shifts for better understanding the likely structure based on interactions with their coordinate metals. The mass spectra show similar types of fragmentation pattern. SEM-EDS analyses showed consistency with the formulation. XRD patterns show an enhanced homogeneity at high temperature. TGA measurements show that thermal decomposition occured in steps that depended entirely on the chemical compositions and the synthesis routes. SEM observation reveals that the morphology and particle size strongly depend on synthesis routes for their precursors.     

ortho-Mercuration of ferrocenylimines

The mercuration of a series of aryliminomethylferrocenes occurred predominantly in an ortho-position of the substituted ferrocenyl ring to yield 2-mercurated ferrocenylimines. The regiospecificity of this reaction suggests that the mercury is directed into the ortho-position by coordination of the mercury to imino nitrogen with subsequent electrophilic substitution. The chromatographic and spectral properties of the 2-mercurated products show the presence of an intramolecular N → Hg coordination via the five-membered ring in these molecules, which was further confirmed by the single-crystal structure analysis of 2-chloromercuro-1-[(4-methoxyphenylimino)methyl]ferrocene.     

纳米二氧化锆在甲醇合成催化剂Cu/Ga2O3/ZrO2中的作用

The introduction of mesoporous nanosize zirconia to the catalyst for methanol synthesis dedicates the nanosized catalyst and mesoporous duplicated properties. The catalyst bears the larger surface area, larger mesoporous volume and more uniform diameter, more surface metal atoms and oxygen vacancies than the catalyst prepared with the conventional coprecipitation method. The modification of microstructure and electronic effect could result in the change of the reduced chemical state and decrease of reducuction temperature of copper, donating the higher activity and methanol selectivity to the catalyst. The results of methanol synthesis demonstrate that the Cu^＋ is the optimum active site. Also, the interaction between the copper and zirconia shows the synergistic effect to fulfil the methanol synthesis.     

DNA cleavage reaction of antitumour antibiotic, kapurimycin A3, with deoxytetranucleotide d(CGCG)2

Kapurimycin A3 (kap A3, 1 ), an antitumour antibiotic, alkylates N7 of guanine₂ (G₂) and G₄ of d(C₁G₂C₃G₄)₂ to produce their covalent adducts 2 (64 %) and 3 (7.0 %), respectively. Heating at 90 °C for 5 min degraded both adducts to kap A3 - G adduct (5) with the concurrent release of their respective abasic-site containing oligomers 4 and 6.     

ZSM-5/Y复合分子筛在烃类催化裂化催化剂中的应用研究

以大庆减压蜡油为原料，考察了水热脱铝ZSM-5/Y复合分子筛的催化裂化性能，并与经同样条件水热脱铝的ZSM-5和Y型沸石的机械混合分子筛进行了对比研究。结果表明，与机械混合样品相比，复合分子筛具有较大的柴油产率和气体产率，汽油产率降低。从复合分子筛结构和ZSM-5的择形催化两方面分析了复合分子筛和机械混合分子筛裂化性能差别的原因。复合分子筛的聚集体结构不利于大分子进入分子筛结构中进行裂化，有利于汽油组分的裂化。气体数据分析支持了复合分子筛的结构特点。

Ultrahigh field MAS NMR dipolar correlation spectroscopy of the histidine residues in light-harvesting complex II from photosynthetic bacteria reveals partial internal charge transfer in the B850/His complex.

Low-temperature 15N and 13C CP/MAS (cross-polarization/magic angle spinning) NMR has been used to analyze BChl-histidine interactions and the electronic structure of histidine residues in the light-harvesting complex II (LH2) of Rhodopseudomonas acidophila. The histidines were selectively labeled at both or one of the two nitrogen sites of the imidazole ring. The resonances of histidine nitrogens that are interacting with B850 BChl a have been assigned. Specific 15N labeling confirmed that it is the tau-nitrogen of histidines which is ligated to Mg2+ of B850 BChl molecules (beta-His30, alpha-His31). The pi-nitrogens of these Mg2+-bound histidines were found to be protonated and may be involved in hydrogen bond interactions. Comparison of the 2-D MAS NMR homonuclear (13C-13C) dipolar correlation spectrum of [13C6,15N3]-histidines in the LH2 complex with model systems in the solid state reveals two different classes of electronic structures from the histidines in the LH2. In terms of the 13C isotropic shifts, one corresponds to the neutral form of histidine and the other resembles a positively charged histidine species. 15N-13C double-CP/MAS NMR data provide evidence that the electronic structure of the histidines in the neutral BChl a/His complexes resembles the positive charge character form. While the Mg...15N isotropic shift confirms a partial positive charge transfer, its anisotropy is essentially of the lone pair type. This provides evidence that the hybridization structure corresponding to the neutral form of the imidazole is capable of "buffering" a significant amount of positive charge.     

Crystal field in rare-earth fluorides—I. Molecular orbital calculation of PrF3 parameters

Crystal field parameters have been calculated, using ab initio LCAO-MO theory, for the ion pair Pr³⁺—F⁻ at five metal ligand distances appropriate to Pr³⁺:LaF₃. The parameters are found to be twice as large as in PrCl₃, but with only half the distance dependence. In the absence of precise Pr³⁺:LaF₃ experimental parameters only qualitative agreement with experiment can be recorded. However, very good numerical agreement is obtained with the experimental covalency parameters for Yb³⁺:CaF₂, which provides a check on the methods adopted for calculating energy denominators.     

Longitudinal nuclear relaxation measurements in hcp H2

Measurements of T₁ in the hep phase of H₂, over the temperature range 2°–12°K and the ortho concentration range between 0.5 and 0.97 are presented. At temperatures below 10°K, the thermally activated self-diffusion is negligible and the mechanism for nuclear relaxation is that attributed by Moryia and Motizuki and by Harris to intramolecular dipolar interaction, modulated by intennolecular electric quadrupole-quadrupole (EQQ) interaction. The gaussian approximation for the correlation function was used by these authors to predict T₁. From the comparison between experiment and theory, we determine the EQQ parameter Γ/k_B to be 0.67°K. Above 10°K the effect of diffusion influences T₁, and the experimental results for an 88 per cent ortho H₂ sample up to the melting point suggest that the relaxation mechanisms resulting from EQQ interaction and diffusion are not independent of one another.     

Selective flow-injection determination of methanol in the presence of ethanol based on a multi-enzyme system with chemiluminescence detection

A highly selective flow-injection system was developed for the determination of methanol. The system consisted of three immobilized enzymes with luminol chemiluminescence detection. First, methanol was oxidized in the presence of alcohol oxidase to yield formaldehyde and hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide produced was then destroyed by catalase. The formaldehyde formed in the first stage was further oxidized by NAD⁺-formaldehyde dehydrogenase. The NADH formed was oxidized by 1-methoxy-5-methylphenazinium methylsulphate (1-MPMS), and finally the reduced 1-MPMS was spontaneously oxidized and hydrogen peroxide was produced. The concentration of the hydrogen peroxide produced, which was proportional to the initial concentration of methanol, was determined by luminol chemiluminescence. The determination range was from 0.1 to 100 mg l⁻¹ and the response time was less than 2 min per sample with a relative standard deviation of less than 3%. The system showed good selectivity for methanol; the response was ca. 50 times higher than for ethanol.
