Preparation and Characterization of N-4-Nitrophenyl-L-prolinol Nanocrystals in Sol-Gel Matrices

Organic nanocrystals of N-4-nitrophenyl-l-prolinol (NPP) have been grown in sol-gel matrices prepared from silicon alkoxide precursors. Our process is based on the control of the nucleation and growth kinetics of the dye in the pores of dense gels. Nanocomposites gel-glasses are obtained with a high optical quality due to the small size of the nanocrystals (10-20 nm). Differential scanning calorimetry experiments evidenced clearly the melting point of NPP nanocrystals, which is registered 51°C above that of NPP powder. Micro-Raman and solid state NMR spectroscopies allowed us to demonstrate that our nanocrystallization process does not chemically modify NPP molecules. We specified also the nature of interactions existing between the NPP nanocrystals and the xerogels. These strong interactions, which explain the important increase of the melting point of the nanocrystals in comparison to the NPP powder, are hydrogen bonds between nitro groups of NPP and uncondensed silanol functions of the silicate network.     

Synthesis and properties of 1-(6-methoxy)-2-benzothiazolyl)-2-pyridones

Substituted ]-(6-methoxy-2-benzothiazolyt)-2-pyridones were prepared from 2-amino-6-methoxybenzathiazate through N-(6-methoxy-2-benzothiazotyl) cyanvorearmileaznd-3-aryl-N-(6-methoxy-2-benzothiazolyt)-2-cyano-2-propenamides. The cyclization of the latter with malonodinitrile in the presence of piperidine gave the corresponding pyridones. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by¹H NMR and mass spectral data.Department of Organic Chemistry, Mass Spectrometry Laboratory, Slovak Technical University, 812 37 Bratislava, Slovakia.

A theoretical study of the formation of the parent phosphinine C5H5P from the flash vacuum thermolysis of diallylvinylphosphine

The gas-phase decomposition of diallylvinylphosphine 1 into C5H5P 12 is studied by DFT/6-311+G(d,p) calculations with the B3LYP functional, followed by single-point energy-only calculations at the CCSD(T)/6-311+G(d,p) level. According to these calculations, the first step involves a retro-ene elimination that yields 3-phosphahexatrienes 2Z and 2E. Both compounds equilibrate through the formation of 1,2- and 3,4-dihydrophosphetes 3 and 4, and it is shown that the formation of 2Z is favored by the exothermic formation of the 3,4-dihydrophosphinine 5 through a 6pi-electrocyclization. Though 5 can easily isomerize into 2,3- (6) and 1,2-diyhydrophosphinines (7) by successive 1,5-hydrogen shifts, the formation of 12 from 5, 6, or 7 through an elimination of H2 is found to be a high energy process. It is also shown that the elimination of H2 from lambda5-phosphinine 8 following a C2v pathway is a symmetry-forbidden process. Finally, 1,4-dihydrophosphinine 9, which can be formed through a 1,4-hydrogen shift from lambda5-phosphinine 8, is found to be a convenient precursor of 12 through a 1,4-elimination of H2. The formation of 9 from 5 involves the intermediary formation of 3-phosphabicyclo[3.1.0]hex-2-ene 10. The mechanism eventually proposed for the formation of 12 from 2Z is given in Scheme 16 at the CCSD(T) level.     

Amperometric flow-injection method for the assay of l-ascorbic acid based on the photochemical reduction of Methylene Blue

Ascorbic acid (AA) is determined by amperometric detection based on the photochemical reduction of Methylene Blue (MB(+)) in 0.1 M phthalate buffer at pH 3.8. In this medium, MB(+) using flow-injection analysis. The carrier stream is 1 mM MB(+) is reduced quasi-reversibly at a glassy carbon electrode at -0.34 V vs. Ag/AgCl, while AA is oxidized irreversibly at about 0.3 V. The reactor is irradiated with a 500 W halogen lamp to facilitate the development of the photochemical reaction. A laboratory-built wall-jet electrode system was used. The Leucomethylene Blue formed in the reaction is detected at +0.050 V. At 2.2 ml min(-1) and using a sample loop of 43 mul, the method allows the determination of AA in the range 5.0-90.0 mug ml(-1), with a relative standard deviation of 1.3-4.8%, a detection limit of 1.9 mug ml(-1) and a sampling frequency of 45-50 h(-1).     

Immobilization of protein on ferromagnetic Dacron

Ferromagnetic Dacron (polyethyleneterephthalate) is proposed as a matrix to immobilize proteins covalently. Dacron in powder was magnetized by reacting ferrous (Fe+2) and ferric (Fe+3) ions with its hydrazide form at pH 8.3. Ferromagnetic hydrazide Dacron was converted to ferromagnetic azide Dacron and amyloglucosidase (E.C. 3.2.1.3) was covalently bound through the latter group. The catalytic property of the enzyme was preserved (8% of the specific activity estimated for the soluble enzyme) and all the magnetic amyloglucosidase Dacron derivative was recovered by using a magnetic field. No activity was detected in the supernatant.

Preparation,stability and two-dimensional ordered arrangement of gold nanoparticles capped by surfactants with different chain lengths

Gold nanoparticles modified with C10NH2, C12NH2, C16NH2 and C18NH2 respectively have been prepared by the reverse micelle method. Nanoparticles stability and their two-dimensional (2D) ordered arrangement were studied by UV-Vis absorption spectra and LB technique. The factors, such as the chain length and the size distribution of particles, which affect the 2D ordered arrangement formation, are discussed. Experimental results show that the longer the chain length of surfactants capping the gold nanoparticles, the more stable the nanoparticles, and the more ordered 2D arrangement of gold nanoparticles.
