Recognizing ortho-, meta- or para-positional isomers of S-methyl methoxylphenylmethylenehydrazine dithiocarboxylates by ESI-MS2: The positional effect of the methoxyl substituent

The dissociation chemistry of the ortho-, meta- or para-isomers of protonated S-methyl methoxyl- (or chloro-) benzenylmethylenehydrazine dithiocarboxylate, RPhCHN–NHC(S)–SCH₃ (R = MeO– or Cl–), has been investigated by collision induced dissociation experiments and DFT theoretical calculations. The three methoxyl-substituted isomers were easily differentiated according to the different abundance of the characteristic ion at m/z 136, resulting from the varying reactivity of the (NSC)SCH₃ elimination. This fragmentation is triggered by the positive charge upon protonation on the imine N2. Relative to the meta isomer, the positive charge on N2 in the para isomer is dispersed due to the electron donating resonance of the methoxyl group, which leads to higher energy barrier in the dissociation reaction and the less abundant product ion (m/z 136) in the MS/MS. (NSC)SCH₃ elimination of the ortho- isomer is further suppressed due to both the resonance effect and the “ortho effect” (an intramolecular hydrogen bond), with much higher energy barrier and extremely lower abundance of the fragment ion (m/z 136, 0.4%). The chloro substituted isomers, however, are short of the above positional effects due to the weak electronic effect of the substituent, and share the similar tandem mass spectrum.     

Enhancing the thermoelectric performance through the mutual interaction between conjugated polyelectrolytes and single-walled carbon nanotubes

We present a method of constructing composites composed of conjugated polyelectrolytes(CPEs)and singlewalled carbon nanotubes(SWCNTs)to obtain a high-performing flexible thermoelectric generator.In this approach,three kinds of polymers,namely,poly[(1,4-(2,5-didodecyloxybenzene)-alt-2,5-thiophene](P1),poly[(1,4-(2,5-bis-sodium butoxysulfonate-phenylene)-alt-2,5-thiophene](P2),and poly[(1,4-(2,5-bis-acid butoxysulfonic-phenylene)-alt-2,5-thiophene](P3)are designed,synthesized and complexed with SWCNTs as thermoelectric composites.The electrical conductivities of the CPEs/SWCNTs(P2/SWCNTs,and P3/SWCNTs)nanocomposites are much higher than those of non-CPEs/SWCNTs(P1/SWCNTs)nanocomposites.Among them,the electrical conductivity of P2/SWCNTs with a ratio of 1:4 reaches 3686 S·cm^-1,which is 12.4 times that of P1/SWCNTs at the same SWCNT mass ratio.Moreover,CPEs/SWCNTs composites(P2/SWCNTs)display remarkably improved thermoelectric properties with the highest power factor(PF)of 163μW·m^-1·K^-1.In addition,a thermoelectric generator is fabricated with P2/SWCNTs composite films,and the output power and power density of this generator reach 1.37μW and 1.4 W·m;(cross-section)at△T=70 K.This result is over three times that of the thermoelectric generator composed of non-CPEs/SWCNTs composite films(P1/SWCNTs,0.37μW).The remarkably improved electrical conductivities and thermoelectric properties of the CPEs/SWCNTs composites(P2/SWCNTs)are attributed to the enhanced interaction.This method for constructing CPEs/SWCNTs composites can be applied to produce thermoelectric materials and devices.     

Homocysteine-mediated reactivity and assembly of gold nanoparticles

This paper reports the findings of an investigation of the reactivity and assembly of gold nanoparticles mediated by homocysteine (Hcys), a thiol-containing amino acid found in plasma. The aim is to gain insight into the interparticle interaction and reactivity, which has potential application for the detection of thiol-containing amino acids. By monitoring the evolution of the surface plasmon resonance absorption and the dynamic light scattering of gold nanoparticles in the presence of Hcys, the assembly was shown to be dependent on the nature and concentration of the electrolytes, reflecting an effective screening of the diffuse layer around the initial citrate-capped nanoparticles that decreases the barrier to the Hcys adsorption onto the surface, and around the subsequent Hcys-capped nanoparticles that facilitate the zwitterion-type electrostatic interactions between amino acid groups of Hcys bound to different nanoparticles. A key element of the finding is that the interparticle zwitterion interaction of the Hcys-Au system is much stronger than the expectation for a simple Hcys or Au solution, a new phenomenon originating from the unique nanoscale interparticle interaction. The strength and reversibility of the interparticle zwitterion-type electrostatic interactions between amino acid groups are evidenced by the slow disassembly upon increasing pH at ambient temperatures and its acceleration at elevated temperature. These findings provide new insight into the precise control of interfacial interactions and reactivities between amino acids anchored to nanoparticles and have broad implications in the development of colorimetric nanoprobes for amino acids.     

Synthesis and crystallization behaviors of poly(styrene-b-isoprene-b-ε-caprolactone) triblock copolymers

The triblock copolymers, poly(styrene-b-isoprene-b-ε-caprolactone)s (PS-b-PI-b-PCL) have been synthesized successfully by combination of anionic polymerization and ring-opening polymerization. Diblock copolymer capped with hydroxyl group, PS-b-PI-OH was synthesized by sequential anionic polymerization of styrene and isoprene and following end-capping reaction of EO, and then it was used as macro initiator in the ring-opening polymerization of CL. The results of DSC and WAXD show big effect of amorphous PS-b-PI on the thermal behaviors of PCL block in the triblock copolymers and the lower degree of crystalline in the triblock copolymer with higher molecular weight of PS-b-PI was observed. The real-time observation on the polarized optical microscopy shows the spherulite growth rates of PCL₂₇, PCL₃₂₈ and PS-b-PI-b-PCL₃₄₄ are 0.71, 0.46 and 0.07 μm s⁻¹, respectively. The atomic force microscopy (AFM) images of the PS₉₀-b-PI₆₆-b-PCL₂₈ show the columns morphology formed by it’s self-assembling.     

Characterization,Classification, and Authentication of Polygonatum sibiricum Samples by Volatile Profiles and Flavor Properties

The importance of monitoring key aroma compounds as food characteristics to solve sample classification and authentication is increasing. The rhizome of Polygonatum sibiricum (PR, Huangjing in Chinese) has great potential to serve as an ingredient of functional foods owing to its tonic effect and flavor properties. In this study, we aimed to characterize and classify PR samples obtained from different processing levels through their volatile profiles and flavor properties by using electronic nose, electronic tongue, and headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Nine flavor indicators (four odor indicators and five taste indicators) had a strong influence on the classification ability, and a total of 54 volatile compounds were identified in all samples. The traditional Chinese processing method significantly decreased the contents of aldehydes and alkanes, while more ketones, nitrogen heterocycles, alcohols, terpenoids, sulfides, and furans/pyrans were generated in the processing cycle. The results confirmed the potential applicability of volatile profiles and flavor properties for classification of PR samples, and this study provided new insights for determining the processing level in food and pharmaceutical industries based on samples with specific flavor characteristics.

Investigation on densification of Al2O3/B4C ceramic by ab initio calculation and experiment

Compared to experiment, the adsorption energies, bonding properties, and electronic structure of two different Al₂O₃/B₄C bridge sites with seven different Al₂O₃ surfaces are investigated by ab initio periodic density functional theory. The Al₂O₃/B₄C ceramic sintered in Ar is synthesized and measured by XRD and TEM. The calculated results reveal that the densification of O_bridge site of Al₂O₃/B₄C surface is better than that of Al_bridge. The Al₂O₃ (1 1 3)/B₄C with O_bridge is the most favorable and stable. The electronic structure shows that the electron hybridization exists between Al, O atoms and C, B atoms. The results indicate that the calculated results are in good agreement with the experiment.
