A study is presented of the quenching, by oxygen, of the luminescence of tris(2,2′-bipyridine) ruthenium(II) complexes immobilized in thin, transparent, polymer-based films. The film media consist of a water-insoluble linear polymer plasticized with a trialkylphosphate ester, in which the complex ruthenium cations are solubilized by ion pairing with organophilic anions such as tetraphenylborate.
Luminescence lifetimes were studied in relation oxygen concentration in a gas stream contiguous with the film medium, film thickness and concentration of the metal complex within the film medium. It is shown that the microheterogeneous environment of the luminescent complex, which has recently been implicated in the non-linear quenching responses of polymer-immobilized, transition metal complex oxygen sensors, may arise simply as a consequence of the limited solubility of the complex in the film medium. When solubility is limited, the partial precipitation of the complex results in a colloidal of luminescent particles which exhibit non- uniform susceptibilities to quenching by oxygen. Good solubility, and therefore linear quenching characteristics, are promoted by methyl substitution of the bipyridyl ligand and by use of a plasticizer (tributylphosphate) with marked cation solvating powers. 相似文献
n-Heptane-soluble “di-butylmagnesium” (I) (a commercially available material, prepared by addition of LiBus to MgBunCl, and subsequent addition of ca. 5% MgOct2n) has been found to be a useful starting material for obtaining numerous organic magnesium compounds. This is illustrated by its reaction with a number of protic compounds HA to give in good yields Mg(C5H5)2, Mg(C5H4Me)2, or the new compounds MgA2: IV (A = C5H4SiMe3), V [A = C5H3(SiMe3)2], VII (A = OC6H2Bu2t-2,6-Me-4), and X [A2 = N(SiMe3)C6H4N(SiMe3)-o(OEt2)]. The value of such compounds MgA2 as mild ligand transfer reagents is illustrated by the synthesis of Zr(C5H3X2)Cl3 (X = H or SiMe3). Compound X was isolated from OEt2 solution as the crystalline dimer with two o-(SiMe3)C6H4(SiMe3) ligands bridging two magnesium atoms and a terminal OEt2 ligand completing a distorted tetrahedral environment around each Mg. Some key parameters are: MgNt 1.997(7), MgNb 2.083(8), MgO 2.041(7) Å; OMgNt 112.1(3), OMgNb 119.7(3), and NtMgNb 118.5(3)°. 相似文献

Indene and cyclopentene enaminonitriles were reacted with SCl2, iBu3N and NCS to give the first cyclopenta[1,2,6]thiadiazines that showed unusual characteristics, one as a NIR dye and another as a liquid crystal. 相似文献
We present formulas for the evaluation of molecular integrals over basis functions with an explicit Gaussian dependence on
interelectronic coordinates. These formulas use expansions in Hermite Gaussian functions and represent an extension to the
work of McMurchie and Davidson to two-electron basis functions. Integrals that depend on the coordinates of up to four electrons
are discussed explicitly. A key feature of this approach is that it allows full exploitation of the shell structure of the
orbital part of the basis.

Summary The vertical ionization potential and the related pole strength of a model alternant chain of 14 hydrogen atoms subject to a homogeneous electric field, parallel to the chain and of increasing intensity are calculated, in the framework of a 6–31G** basis set, at the second-order level of the many-body Green's function theory. Trends observed with orbital relaxation, pair removal and pair relaxation effects are interpreted in terms of deformations of the electron density. 相似文献
We have constructed molecular models of octameric micelles formed by a recently developed lipopeptide detergent consisting of a single amphipathic alpha-helix coupled to two acyl chains at either end of the helix. The models explain the experimentally observed aggregation behavior of peptides with different acyl chain lengths. The octameric micelles form a unique coiled-coil structure, with the acyl chains in a nearly frozen conformation inside the cylindrical assemblies. Two extreme models with helices either all parallel or in an alternating orientation suggest that the alternating orientation is energetically more favorable. The models suggest several new directions for further diversifying this new class of detergents for the structural studies of membrane proteins. 相似文献
In this paper a deeper insight into the chorismate-to prephenate-rearrangement, catalyzed by Bacillus subtilis chorismate mutase, is provided by means of a combination of statistical quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics simulation methods and hybrid potential energy surface exploration techniques. The main aim of this work is to present an estimation of the preorganization and reorganization terms of the enzyme catalytic rate enhancement. To analyze the first of these, we have studied different conformational equilibria of chorismate in aqueous solution and in the enzyme active site. Our conclusion is that chorismate mutase preferentially binds the reactive conformer of the substrate--that presenting a structure similar to the transition state of the reaction to be catalyzed--with shorter distances between the carbon atoms to be bonded and more diaxial character. With respect to the reorganization effect, an energy decomposition analysis of the potential energies of the reactive reactant and of the reaction transition state in aqueous solution and in the enzyme shows that the enzyme structure is better adapted to the transition structure. This means not only a more negative electrostatic interaction energy with the transition state but also a low enzyme deformation contribution to the energy barrier. Our calculations reveal that the structure of the enzyme is responsible for stabilizing the transition state structure of the reaction, with concomitant selection of the reactive form of the reactants. This is, the same enzymatic pattern that stabilizes the transition structure also promotes those reactant structures closer to the transition structure (i.e., the reactive reactants). In fact, both reorganization and preorganization effects have to be considered as the two faces of the same coin, having a common origin in the effect of the enzyme structure on the energy surface of the substrate. 相似文献
