TiO2 sol-gel derived amperometric biosensor for H2O2 on the electropolymerized phenazine methosulfate modified electrode

A novel hydrogen peroxide biosensor was developed based on the immobilization of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in a TiO(2) sol-gel matrix on an electropolymerized phenazine methosulfate (PMS) modified electrode surface. Such membranes are of interest due to their high surface area, biological compatibility, and ease of fabrication. HRP entrapped in the TiO(2) matix was stable and retained its activity to a large extent. Cyclic voltammetry and amperometric measurements were employed to demonstrate the feasibility of electron transfer between immobilized HRP and the glassy carbon electrode via electropolymerized PMS. The influence of various experimental parameters such as operating potential, pH, temperature, and stability was investigated for optimum analytical performance. The biosensor provided a wide linear calibration range from 4.0x10(-6) M to 1.0x10(-3) M, with a detection limit of 8.0x10(-7) M at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. The sensor retained 80% of its original activity after two months of operation.     

Synthesis of N—（4—Salicylideneiminoaryl）monoaza Crown Ethers and Dioxygen Affinities of Their Cobalt（Ⅱ）Complexes

The Schiff base‐containing pendant monoaza crown ether HL¹, HL², HL³ and HL⁴ have been synthesized by condensation of salicylaldehyde with N‐(4‐aminoaryl) monoaza crown ethers, which were prepared conveniently from 4‐nitro‐N, N‐di(hydroxyethyl) aniline or 4‐nitrobenzyl chloride via cyclization or condensation and reduction. The structures of HL¹—HL⁴ were verified by ¹H NMR, IR spectra, MS and elemental analysis. Moreover, the oxygenation constants (KO2) and thermodynamic parameters (δH⁰ and δS⁰) of their cobalt(II) complexes were determined in the range of ?5 °C to 25 °C, and the effect of crown ring bonded to a Schiff base on the dioxygen affinities of cobalt(II) complexes was also observed as compared to the uncrowned analogue (CoL).     

A Novel Enhancing Flow-Injection Chemiluminescence Method for the Determination of Glutathione Using the Reaction of Luminol with Hydrogen Peroxide

 A rapid flow-injection method with chemiluminescence (CL) detection is described for the determination of glutathione (GSH). The method is based on the CL reaction of luminol and hydrogen peroxide. GSH can greatly enhance the chemiluminescence intensity in 0.1 mol/L borax–sodium hydroxide buffer solution (pH = 9.7). The maximum CL intensity was directly proportional to the concentration of GSH in the range 3.0 × 10⁻⁷–2.0 × 10⁻⁵ mol/L, and the detection limit was 6.8 × 10⁻⁸ mol/L. The relative standard deviation was 3.4% for 5.0 × 10⁻⁶ mol/L of GSH (n = 11). Received October 23, 2001; accepted June 18, 2002     

Photochemical naphthylation at(α-carbon atom of carbonyl and its equivalences

The photostimulated reaction of halonaphthalene with a series of carbanions derived from,propionic acid derivatives in liquid ammonia led to the naphthylation at a-carbon of the carbanions inan isolated yield ranging from 25％ to 86％.In all cases,the dehalonaphthalenes were found to,be by-products and the reaction was inhibited by p-dinitrobenzere.An electron transfer from thecarbanion to the halonaphthalene followed by ejection of halogen led to naphtbyl radical,as predictedby comparing the LUMOs of the carbanions and the halonaphthalenes,was involved in the process.Absence of the alkylnaphthalene and 1,2-dinaphthylalkane in the products indicates the smoothelectron transfer between(Naph-Nu)~+ and Naph-X.C-vs.O-naphthylation is fully addressed interms of MNDO calculations and acid-base principle.     

Unsymmetric-1,3-disubstituted imidazolium salt for palladium-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of aryl bromides

A series of 1-(ferrocenylethyl)-3-substituted-imidazolium salts [3-substitute = 2,6-di(iso-propyl)phenyl (1a), 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl (1b), tert-butyl (1c), 1-Ad (1d), cyclohexyl (1e)] have been synthesized from a racemic ferrocenylethyl acetate and the corresponding N-substituted imidazole in high yields (70–94%). A combination of Pd(OAc)₂ and 1a–d was found to form an excellent catalyst system for the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of aryl bromides with phenylboronic acid in the presence of Cs₂CO₃.

Studies on the substrate specificity of Escherichia coli galactokinase

In vitro glycorandomization (IVG) technology is dependent upon the ability to rapidly synthesize sugar phosphates. Compared with chemical synthesis, enzymatic (kinase) routes to sugar phosphates would be attractive for this application. This work focuses upon the development of a high-throughput colorimetric galactokinase (GalK) assay and its application toward probing the substrate specificity and kinetic parameters of Escherichia coli GalK. The demonstrated dinitrosalicylic assay should also be generally applicable to a variety of sugar-processing enzymes. [reaction: see text]     

Reverse of regioselectivity in intramolecular nucleophilic substitution of pi-allyl palladium species. Highly selective formation of vinylic cyclopropanes via the Pd(0)-catalyzed coupling-cyclization reaction of organic iodides with 2-(2', 3'-Dienyl)malonates

Vinylic cyclopropanes were formed highly selectively via the Pd(PPh(3))(4)-catalyzed insertion-intramolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction of aryl or 1-alkenyl iodides with 2-(2', 3'-dienyl)malonates. The regioselectivity observed here is different from what was reported by Cazes et al.     

The first metal (Nd3+, Mn2+, and Pb2+) coordination compounds of 3,5-dinitrotyrosine and their nonlinear optical properties

The reactions of 3,5-dinitrotyrosine (H2DNTY) with Nd(NO3)3.6H2O, Mn(ClO4)2.6H2O, and Pb(OAc)2 afforded three homochiral compounds: discrete [Nd(Hdnty)2(NO3)(H2O)5].3H2O (1) and two- and three-dimensional coordination polymers, [Mn(Hdnty)2] (2) and [Pb(dnty)(0.5 H2O)] (3), respectively. The Nd atom in 1 displays a tricapped trigonal prism and supramolecular weak interactions, such as pi-pi stacking and H-bonds, between amino and nitro groups result in the formation of a three-dimensional network through these interactions. 2 has a two-dimensional square-grid topological net while 3 has the first three-dimensional homochiral ThSi2 net. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first metal coordination compounds with 3,5-dinitrotyrosine. Preliminary second harmonic generation (SHG) investigations indicated that 1 and 2 are SHG active with estimated responses 5 and 6 times larger than that of urea, respectively, while 3 is SHG non-active (obeying the Klainman symmetry requirement). Strong enhancement of their SHG efficiency, compared with H2DNTY, may be due to 1) the addition of a good donor-pi-acceptor organic chromophore into the compound resulting in superior qualities of both inorganic and organic materials and 2) the H-bonds that persist in them.

For space group P4(3)2(1)2: R(1)=0.0672, wR(2)=0.1656, S=1.034, Flack value=1.02(3); this suggests the chosen space group P4(1)2(1)2 is correct.
