Sunlight-activated AlFeO3/TiO2 photocatalyst

A nanocomposite photocatalyst composed of AlFeO₃ and TiO₂ is prepared, and characterized through X-ray diffraction. Application of the nanocomposite for the photodegradations of eosin dye and methyl orange gives an improved photoactivity compared with TiO₂-only nanomaterials. The optimal concentration of AlFeO₃ in the composite is about 1.0 wt% under UV excitation, and 9.0 wt% under sunlight excitation for the improved photoactivity. Furthermore, this nanocomposite is more active for eosin photodegradation if natural sunlight rather than UV is used. This may be due to the reason that adding AlFeO₃ nanoparticles into TiO₂ matrix can promote the separation of photogener-ated charge carriers, and extend the photoresponse of TiO₂ toward visible region, which results in an increase in the solar energy utilization efficiency.

Rigid nanoscopic containers for highly dispersed, stable metal and bimetal nanoparticles with both size and site control

We demonstrate a novel strategy for the preparation of mesoporous silica-supported, highly dispersed, stable metal and bimetal nanoparticles with both size and site control. The supporting mesoporous silica, functionalized by polyaminoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers, is prepared by repeated Michael addition with methyl acrylates (MA) and amidation reaction with ethylenediamine (EDA), by using aminopropyl-functionalized mesoporous silica as the starting material. The encapsulation of metal nanoparticles within the dendrimer-propagated mesoporous silica is achieved by the chemical reduction of metal-salt-impregnated dendrimer-mesoporous silica by using aqueous hydrazine. The site control of the metal or bimetal nanoparticles is accomplished by the localization of inter- or intradendrimeric nanoparticles within the mesoporous silica tunnels. The size of the encapsulated nanoparticles is controlled by their confinement to the nanocavity of the dendrimer and the mesopore. For Cu and Pd, particles locate at the lining of mesoporous tunnels, and have diameters of less than 2.0 nm. For Pd/Pt, particles locate at the middle of mesoporous tunnels and have diameters in the range of 2.0-4.2 nm. The Pd and Pd/Pt nanoparticles are very stable in air, whereas the Cu nanoparticles are stable only in an inert atmosphere.

N-烷基壳聚糖玻璃化转变温度的研究

采用差示扫描量热(DSC)法和热释电流(TSC)法研究了N-烷基壳聚糖的玻璃化转变行为. DSC法中采用二次扫描以消除溶剂和热历史的影响, 并利用物理老化方法来增强N-烷基壳聚糖在DSC曲线上的玻璃化转变区域的热焓吸热峰, 以克服DSC法的不灵敏性. 两种研究方法的结果一致表明, 三种N-烷基壳聚糖的玻璃化转变均发生在110～150 ℃温区内；取代的柔性烷基越大, 玻璃化转变温度(Tg)越低；但N-甲基壳聚糖例外, 其Tg略高于壳聚糖, 空间阻碍在这里起决定的作用.     

Oxidation of heme to beta- and delta-biliverdin by Pseudomonas aeruginosa heme oxygenase as a consequence of an unusual seating of the heme

The origin of the unusual regioselectivity of heme oxygenation, i.e. the oxidation of heme to delta-biliverdin (70%) and beta-biliverdin (30%), that is exhibited by heme oxygenase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (pa-HO) has been studied by (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, and resonance Raman spectroscopies. Whereas resonance Raman indicates that the heme-iron ligation in pa-HO is homologous to that observed in previously studied alpha-hydroxylating heme oxygenases, the NMR spectroscopic studies suggest that the heme in this enzyme is seated in a manner that is distinct from that observed for all other alpha-hydroxylating heme oxygenase enzymes for which a structure is known. In pa-HO, the heme is rotated in-plane approximately 110 degrees, so the delta-meso-carbon of the major orientational isomer is located within the HO-fold in the place where the alpha-hydroxylating enzymes typically place the alpha-meso-carbon. The unusual heme seating displayed by pa-HO places the heme propionates so that these groups point in the direction of the solvent-exposed heme edge and appears to originate in large part from the absence of stabilizing interactions between the polypeptide and the heme propionates, which are typically found in alpha-hydroxylating heme oxygenase enzymes. These interactions typically involve Lys-16 and Tyr-112, in Neisseriae meningitidis HO, and Lys-16 and Tyr-134, in human and rat HO-1. The corresponding residues in pa-HO are Asn-19 and Phe-117, respectively. In agreement with this hypothesis, we found that the Asn-19 Lys/Phe-117 Tyr double mutant of pa-HO exists as a mixture of molecules exhibiting two distinct heme seatings; one seating is identical to that exhibited by wild-type pa-HO, whereas the alternative seating is very similar to that typical of alpha-hydroxylating heme oxygenase enzymes and is related to the wild-type seating by approximately 110 degrees in-plane rotation of the heme. Furthermore, each of these heme seatings in the pa-HO double mutant gives rise to a subset of two heme isomeric orientations that are related to each other by 180 degrees rotation about the alpha-gamma-meso-axis. The coexistence of these molecules in solution, in the proportions suggested by the corresponding area under the peaks in the (1)H NMR spectrum, explains the unusual regioselectivity of heme oxygenation observed with the double mutant, which we found produces alpha- (55%), delta- (35%), and beta-biliverdin (10%). Alpha-biliverdin is obtained by oxidation of the heme seated similar to that of alpha-hydroxylating enzymes, whereas beta- and delta-biliverdin are formed from the oxidation of heme seated as in wild-type pa-HO.

Computational and experimental studies of the effect of substituents on the singlet-triplet energy gap in phenyl(carbomethoxy)carbene

The effect of aromatic substitution on the singlet-triplet energy gap in substituted phenyl(carbomethoxy)carbene (X-Ph-C-CO(2)CH(3), PCC) has been explored by time-resolved infrared (TRIR) spectroscopy and gas-phase computational methods. The ground state of para-substituted PCC is calculated to change from the triplet state in p-NO(2)-PCC (Delta G(ST) = 6.1 kcal/mol) to the singlet state in p-NH(2)-PCC (Delta G(ST) = -2.8 kcal/mol). The absence of solvent perturbation in the TRIR spectra of p-N(CH(3))(2)-PCC (which should have electronic properties similar to p-NH(2)-PCC) and parent PCC is consistent with their ground states lying > +/-2 kcal/mol from the next available electronic state, in line with the computational results. The observation of solvent perturbation in the TRIR spectra of p-OCH(3)-PCC and p-CH(3)-PCC implies that their ground states lie < +/-1 kcal/mol from their next available electronic state. This is in agreement with our computational results, which predict a gas-phase Delta G(ST) of -0.8 and 1.6 kcal/mol for p-OCH(3)-PCC and p-CH(3)-PCC as compared to Delta G(ST) values of -3.9 and -1.3 kcal/mol from polarizable continuum model (PCM) calculations with acetonitrile as a solvent. Gas-phase computational results for the meta- and ortho-substituted PCC species are also presented, along with selected linear free energy (LFE) relationships for the para and meta species.
