Determination of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in environmental waters by derivative flame atomic absorption spectrometry using flow injection on-line preconcentration with double-microcolumn adsorption

The species of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in water samples were determined by flow injection on-line preconcentration and separation on two-microcolumn system-derivative flame atomic absorption spectrometry during a collaborative analysis for certification. The Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in water samples were retained on two microcolumns with ion exchange resin and were eluted directly to nebulizer by 15% HNO³ and 8% NH⁴NO³, respectively. The characteristic concentration (at the sensitivity grade of 2 mV min^?1 for 1 min of preconcentration time) for Cr(III) and Cr(VI) were 0.130 and 0.0985 μg l^?1, in the order which were 332- and 431-fold better than those of FAAS, and 45- and 47-fold better than those of FI-FAAS, respectively. The relative standard deviations were 3.27% and 3.66% with corresponding detection limits (3σ) of 0.244 and 0.235 μg l^?1, respectively. The linear ranges of determinations for Cr(III) and Cr(VI) were 0～100 μgm l^?1 with correlation coefficients of 0.9984 to 0.9996. The satisfactory recovery of 94.4%～106% for Cr(III) and Cr(VI) could be obtained from water samples.     

Simultaneous third-derivative spectrophotometric determination of copper and nickel in iron alloys and aluminium alloy

A method is proposed for the simultaneous determination of copper and nickel by third-derivative spectrophotometry based on the absorption spectra of their complexes with cyanide ion in the ultraviolet range. The method allows the determination of 0.55-5.8 mug/ml of copper and 0.55-6.8 mug/ml of nickel. The relative standard deviation for 11 determinations of 1.5 mul/ml of copper and nickel were 0.78 and 0.72%, respectively. The detection limits were 0.10,mug/ml for nickel and 0.13 mug/ml for copper. The method has been applied to direct determination of copper and nickel in iron alloys and an aluminium alloy without any separation.     

苯并菲盘状液晶的合成、亲氟效应及分子对称性对介晶性的影响

New symmetrical and asymmetrical triphenylene-containing discotic liquid crystals with two different peripheral alkyl chains, known as sym-TP(OC6H13)3(OR)3 and asym-TP(OC6H13)3(OR)3, were synthesized. Their thermotropic liquid crystal properties were investigated through polarizing optical microscopy (POM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. The asyrranetdcal discogens are 2,6,11-rialkoxy-3,7,10-trihexyloxytriphenylenes, with the alkyl chain carbon numbers varying from 3-10, 12, and 14, while the symmetrical compounds are 2,6,10-trialkyloxy-3,7,11-trihexyloxytriphenylene. Two fluoroalkoxy substituted triphenylene discogens, 2,6,10-td(4,4,4-trifluorobutoxy)-3,7,11-trihexyloxytriphenylene and its asymmetrical isomer 2,6,11-tri(4,4,4-trifluorobutoxy)-3,7,10-trihexyloxytdphenylene were prepared. These two compounds show higher melting and clearing points than their alkoxy analogs, which implies that fluorophilic effect exists in the formation and stabilization of discotic columnar mesophase. The triphenylene derivatives TP(OC6H13)3(OR)3 with two different peripheral chains, symmetrically or asymmetrically attached on triphenylene cores, have lower melting points and clearing points than those of the higher symmetrical compounds TP(OR)6 with the same total chain carbon numbers. The mixed-chain-triphenylenes with longer alkoxy chains (n=9,10,12,14) show columnarmesophase at room temperature.     

A simple and sensitive assay of nucleic acids based on the enhanced resonance light scattering of zwitterionics

A new assay of nucleic acids at nanogram level was established based on the enhanced resonance light scattering (RLS) signals of two zwitterionics cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine (HSB) and lauryl betaine (BS-12). Under optimum conditions, the weak RLS signal of HSB is enhanced by nucleic acids, and the enhanced RLS intensity is proportional to the concentration of nucleic acids in the range of 0.02–7.3 mg l⁻¹ for calf thymus DNA and 0.01–8.6 mg l⁻¹ for fish sperm DNA. The detection limits were 1.5 ng ml⁻¹ for calf thymus DNA and 1.9 ng ml⁻¹ for fish sperm DNA. Plasmid DNA extracted from K-12-HB101 colt was determined with satisfactory results.     

Determination of vitamin C and preservatives in beverages by conventional capillary electrophoresis and microchip electrophoresis with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection

The separation and detection of commonly used preservatives (benzoate, sorbate) and vitamin C by both conventional CE and microchip electrophoresis with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection is presented. The separation was optimized by adjusting the pH-value of the buffer and the use of hydroxypropyl-beta-CD (HP-beta-CD) and CTAB as additives. For conventional CE, optimal separation conditions were achieved in a histidine/tartrate buffer at pH 6.5, containing 0.025% HP-beta-CD and 0.1 mM CTAB. LOD ranged from 0.5 to 3 mg/L (S/N = 3) and the RSDs for migration time and peak area were less than 0.1 and 2%, respectively. A considerable reduction of analysis time can be accomplished by using microchip electrophoresis without significant loss in sensitivity under optimal separation conditions. A histidine/tartrate buffer at pH 6.5, incorporating 0.06% HP-beta-CD and 0.25 mM CTAB, gave detection limits ranging between 3 and 10 mg/L and satisfactory reproducibilities of < or =0.4% for the migration time and < or =3.5% for the peak area. The methods developed are useful for the quantitative determination of food additives in real samples such as soft drinks and vitamin C tablets.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Novel Polymeric Thiocyanato-Bridged Heteronuclear Complex of Copper(II) and Cadmium(II)

The title polymeric complex of Cu(II) and Cd(II) bridged by thiocyanate, Cu(en)₂[Cd(SCN)₃]₂, has been prepared and its structure determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods. The crystal structure reveals that the Cu(II) atom is in an elongated octahedral coordination formed by two SCN^– anions and two en molecules. The Cd(II) atom is in a distorted octahedral coordination formed by six bridging SCN^– anions. Two different bridging thiocyanate anions exist in the complex. Both 1,1--SCN^– and 1,3--SCN^– anion act a role of bridge ligand and link Cu(II), Cd(II) atoms, and adjacent Cd(II). Cd(II) atoms form the three-dimensional (3-D) network polymeric structure. The IR and UV-Vis spectra have also been investigated.     

Two N,N′‐diaryl‐2,2,2‐trichloroethane‐1,1‐diamines: hydrogen‐bonded supramolecular structures in one and two dimensions

The molecules of 2,2,2‐trichloro‐N,N′‐diphenylethane‐1,1‐diamine, C₁₄H₁₃Cl₃N₂, are linked into (040) sheets by a combination of C—H...Cl and C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds. In 2,2,2‐trichloro‐N,N′‐bis(4‐methylphenyl)ethane‐1,1‐diamine, C₁₆H₁₇Cl₃N₂, the molecules are linked into C(7) chains by two independent C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds and one Cl...Cl contact.     

In situ Raman studies on lithiated single-wall carbon nanotubes in liquid ammonia

The charge transfer induced lithiation of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) was investigated by in situ monitoring by Raman spectroscopy as lithium was added incrementally to a dispersion of SWNTs in liquid ammonia. Charge transfer from liquid ammonia solvated lithium to the SWNTs led to intercalation of lithium into the SWNT ropes, as well as to the semi-covalent lithiation of the SWNTs. Raman spectra of the SWNTs recorded as lithium was added showed a 30 wavenumber downshift of the G band (1594 cm⁻¹) with the concomitant appearance of a new peak at 1350 cm⁻¹ that was assigned as the signature of the lithiated SWNTs. Addition of 1-iodododecane to the lithiated SWNTs resulted in the covalent attachment of dodecyl groups. The intercalation of lithium throughout the SWNT ropes led to complete dodecylation of all individual SWNTs.
