Sr_2CeO_4:Nd~(3+)纳米粒子的合成和近红外发光

采用甘氨酸-硝酸盐燃烧法制备了Sr2CeO4和Sr2CeO4:Nd3+发光纳米粒子。样品的结构及性质采用XRD,TEM,荧光光谱及荧光衰减曲线等进行表征。在1200℃煅烧1h能够得到均匀的类球形Sr2CeO4:Nd3+纳米粒子,其粒径大小为20~40nm,并具有良好的分散性和高效的近红外发光特性。Nd3+合适掺杂浓度为0.15%(摩尔分数)。对Sr2CeO4:Nd3+近红外发光的机制分析表明:通过基质Sr2CeO4吸收紫外光,基团CeO4发生了电荷转移达到激发态,并将激发态能量传递给了Nd3+,从而使Sr2CeO4:Nd3+产生了特征的近红外发射。

Precision Chain‐Walking Polymerization of trans‐4‐Octene Catalyzed by α‐Diimine Nickel(II) Catalysts Bearing ortho‐sec‐Phenethyl Groups

α‐Diimine nickel complexes bearing bulky ortho‐sec‐phenethyl groups (bis{[N,N′‐(4‐methyl‐2,6‐di‐sec‐phenethylphenyl)imino]‐1,2‐dimethylethane}dibromonickel ( 1 ), bis{[N,N′‐(4,6‐dimethyl‐2‐sec‐phenethylphenyl)imino]‐1,2‐dimethylethane}dibromonickel ( 2 ), bis{[N,N′‐(4‐methyl‐2‐sec‐phenethylphenyl)imino]‐1,2‐dimethylethane}dibromonickel ( 3 )) and {bis[N,N′‐(2,4,6‐trimethylphenyl)imino]‐1,2‐dimethylethane}dibromidonickel ( 4 ) are used as a precatalyst for the polymerization of trans‐4‐octene upon activation with modified methylaluminoxane. These catalysts conduct chain‐walking polymerization of trans‐4‐octene to give polymers possessing propyl and butyl branches with high molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution. The branching structure depends on the nickel complex as well as the polymerization temperature, and the ratio of propyl branch was increased with increasing the bulkiness of the ligand and decreasing the polymerization temperature. Consequently, the most bulky 1 among the complexes used is found to polymerize trans‐4‐octene with high 1,5‐regioselectivity at −20 °C to give poly(1‐propylpentan‐1,5‐diyl).

     

Understanding the thermal stability of human serum proteins with the related near-infrared spectral variables selected by Monte Carlo-uninformative variable elimination

Understanding the thermal stability of the proteins in human serum is essential since human serum is the important source of pharmaceutical proteins. Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy was applied to the investigation of thermal changes in secondary structure and hydration of human serum proteins. However, as a multicomponent system, the overlap of the broad NIR bands makes the structural analysis very difficult directly using the spectra of serum samples. Therefore, continuous wavelet transform (CWT) was used to improve the resolution of NIR spectra, and Monte Carlo-uninformative variable elimination (MC-UVE) method was applied to the selection of the variables associated with the proteins for the structural analysis. The variables (5956, 5867, 5815, 5747, 4525, 4401, 4359 and 4328 cm^-1) related to protein secondary structures and those (7074, 6951, 6827 and 6700 cm^-1) connected with water species were selected. Then, the thermal stability was analyzed through the intensity variations of the selected variables with temperature from 30 ℃ to 80 ℃. It was found that the variation of the spectral variables related to both α-helix and β-sheetchanges apparently around 60 ℃, indicating the beginning of the thermal denaturation and the transition from α-helix to β-sheet. Moreover, an obvious change was found around 60 ℃ for the content of the water specie S₃, i.e., the water cluster containing three hydrogen bonds. The result demonstrates that MC-UVE can identify the protein-related NIR spectral variables, and the water species may be a marker for investigation of the structural change of proteins in biochemical systems.     

Six-step synthesis of Leonurine and toxicity study on zebrafish

Leonurine (1), an important ingredient in leonurus sibiricus L., can be used for some gynecological disease. We have developed a concise and efficient synthetic route of Leonurine, which can be optimized for mass production. Commercially available compound 6 and 2,3-dihydrofuran (7) were used as starting materials. And the toxicity study on zebrafish shows that Leonurine would promote the hatching of zebrafish embryos at low concentration and result in acute death or chronic lethal toxicity at high concentration.     

Thermo-oxidative degradation of Nylon 1010 films: Colorimetric evaluation and its correlation with material properties

The thermo-oxidative aging behaviors of Nylon 1010 films were studied by various analytical methods, such as measuring the chromaticity, relative viscosity, carbonyl index, UV absorbance at 280 nm and elongation at break of the aged films. The thermo-oxidative aging plots of the results obtained via these various methods at different temperatures are subjected to the time-temperature superposition analysis, which are found to be well superposed. The b^* values are used as X axis and the other results, i.e., relative viscosity, carbonyl index, UV absorbance at 280 nm and elongation at break, are used as Y axis, respectively. The relationship between the b^* values and the other results is obtained, from which we can derive the changes of physical and chemical properties at different b^* values. Since the b^* values can be quickly determined by using a portable spectrophotometer, the on-line evaluation of the thermo-oxidative aging of Nylon 1010 can be realized.

The graph structure of a deterministic automaton chosen at random

An n‐state deterministic finite automaton over a k‐letter alphabet can be seen as a digraph with n vertices which all have k labeled out‐arcs. Grusho (Publ Math Inst Hungarian Acad Sci 5 (1960), 17–61). proved that whp in a random k‐out digraph there is a strongly connected component of linear size, i.e., a giant, and derived a central limit theorem. We show that whp the part outside the giant contains at most a few short cycles and mostly consists of tree‐like structures, and present a new proof of Grusho's theorem. Among other things, we pinpoint the phase transition for strong connectivity. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Random Struct. Alg., 51, 428–458, 2017
