Hydrogenchalcogenido complexes of general composition (η5-C5R5)(CO)3M(EH) (R = H, CH3; M = Cr, Mo, W; E = S, Se) can be obtained by three different routes, sometimes in quite good yields. Thus, the sulfur and selenium derivatives can be synthesized by insertion of the respective elements into the metal-hydrogen bonds of the precursor compounds (η5-C5R5)(CO)3MH. This species also reacts with potassium selenocyanate to yield the hydrogenselenido derivatives (η5-C5R5)(CO)3M(SeH) which can also be obtained by treatment of the methyl complexes (η5-C5R5)(CO)3M(CH3 (M = Mo, W) with HBF4 and Li[SeH]. The corresponding hydrogentellurido compounds are probably formed by these preparative methods but appear to be quickly converted into either the dinuclear tellurium bridge products (μ-Te)[(η5-C5R5)(CO)3M]2 (M = Mo) or into the hydrido complexes (η5-C5R5)(CO)3MH (M= Mo, W) by release of elemental tellurium. 相似文献
Nanoparticle labels have enhanced the performance of diagnostic, screening, and other measurement applications and hold further promise for more sensitive, precise, and cost-effective assay technologies. Nevertheless, a clear view of the biomolecular interactions on the molecular level is missing. Controlling the ratio of molecular recognition over undesired nonspecific adhesion is the key to improve biosensing with nanoparticles. To improve this ratio with an aim to disallow nonspecific binding, a more detailed perspective into the kinetic differences between the cases is needed. We present the application of two novel methods to determine complex binding kinetics of bioconjugate nanoparticles, interferometry, and force spectroscopy. Force spectroscopy is an atomic force microscopy technique and optical interferometry is a direct method to monitor reaction kinetics in second-hour timescale, both having steadily increasing importance in nanomedicine. The combination is perfectly suited for this purpose, due to the high sensitivity to detect binding events and the ability to investigate biological samples under physiological conditions. We have attached a single biofunctionalized nanoparticle to the outer tip apex and studied the binding behavior of the nanoparticle in a sandwich-type immunoassay using dynamic force spectroscopy in millisecond timescale. Utilization of the two novel methods allowed characterization of binding kinetics in a time range spanning from 50 ms to 4 h. These experiments allowed detection and demonstration of differences between specific and nonspecific binding. Most importantly, nonspecific binding of a nanoparticle was reduced at contact times below 100 ms with the solid-phase surface.
Figure A single biofunctionalized nanoparticle was attached to the outer tip apex and the binding behavior of the nanoparticle in a sandwich-type immunoassay, A) without analyte, B) with analyte and C) saturating analyte concentration, was recorded using dynamic force spectroscopy in millisecond timescale. The setting allowed measurement of the association speed of nonspecific binding.
Modulation excitation spectroscopy is a powerful and well established technique for investigating the dynamic behaviour of chemical and physical systems. Recently, an expansion of this technique for diffraction was proposed and the theory deriving the diffraction response of a crystal subjected to a periodically varying external perturbation was developed [Chernyshov, van Beek, Emerich, Milanesio, Urakawa, Viterbo, Palin & Caliandro (2011). Acta Cryst. A 67 , 327–335]. The result of this is that a substructure composed of atoms actively responding to the stimulus may be separated out by analysing the diffraction signal at a frequency twice that of the stimulus. This technique is called modulation‐enhanced diffraction. Here, a version of the theory dealing with the modulation of the site occupancies of a selected subset of atoms is formulated, and this is supported by experiments carried out at the Swiss–Norwegian Beam Lines at the ESRF, involving periodic variation of the xenon content of a polycrystalline zeolite as a function of temperature. The data analysis involves three steps: (i) data selection is carried out to mimic a linear response; (ii) phase‐sensitive detection is applied to obtain contributions both from the responding part of the electron density associated with the Xe atoms and from the interference term; (iii) a phasing procedure is applied to both. A Patterson deconvolution technique has been successfully used to phase the demodulated diffraction patterns and obtain the active substructure. 相似文献
Bulk amorphous Zr54.5Ti7.5Al10Cu20Ni8 was investigated by means of small‐angle neutron scattering and high‐resolution electron microscopy. Partially crystallized states were generated by annealing. The scattering data were analyzed in terms of a model taking into account both properties of the particles and interparticle interference. The mean radius of the particles is 1.3 nm. They are surrounded by a depletion zone with mean thickness of 2.6 nm. The volume fraction of the particles is estimated from the interparticle interference effect; its upper limit after annealing at 653 K for 4 h is 12%. Electron microscopy confirms the size determined from the scattering data and shows that the particles are crystalline. 相似文献
