Three component percolative W/O microemulsions were studied by differential scanning calorimetry. Water-AOT-Decane, D2O-AOT-Decane, Water-AOT-Isooctane and Water-Ca(AOT)2-Decane systems were analyzed. Thus by changing, in the order, the dispersed phase, the dispersing medium, and by modifying
the interphase region. The thermal history of the samples was monitored by a suitable thermal program. Following the latter,
first order phase transitions associated with the freezing and/or melting of the two massive phases were obtained, as well
as the higher order phase transition associated with the percolation process. From the melting spectra an estimate of the
amount of water bound to the hydrophilic groups of the AOT as well as of that of oil bound to the hydrophobic surfactant tails
was obtained. The latter result shows a difference in the behaviour of the continuous oily phase at the O/W interphase. From
the freezing spectra, the percolative character of the microemulsion was evidenced by the exotherms associated with the freezing
of the water phase.

Solid-phase microextraction has been used to investigate chemical communication in several social wasp species. Using the technique to analyse exocrine gland secretions, we demonstrate that the results are comparable with those obtained with the more classical methods that use solvents, eliminating, in many cases, the shortcomings of these methods in insect pheromone analysis. As a result of its simplicity this technique is very suitable for research on the chemical ecology of social wasps, and on insect communication in general. 相似文献

Room-temperature ionic liquids have been used as environmentally benign solvents for the preparation of primary and secondary alkyl azides and nitriles under solid-RTIL phase-transfer conditions. The reaction of primary, secondary, and tertiary halides or tosylates with KCN and NaN(3) has been investigated in three ionic liquids ([bmim][PF(6)], [bmim][N(Tf)(2)], and [hpyr] [N(Tf)(2)]). The observed nucleofugacity scales for the reaction of NaN(3) are similar to those reported for the same process in cyclohexane, indicating that in these solvents it is possible to evidence the intrinsic ability to depart of leaving groups. Changes in the nature of the IL cation or anion determine significant modifications in reactivity of the investigated substrates. Reactivity has been interpreted considering a gradual shift of the mechanism from concerted S(N)2 (primary substrates) to stepwise S(N)1 (tertiary substrate, 3), through the nucleophilically assisted formation of an ion pair intermediate, in the case of 2d. 相似文献

In this paper we present an extension to SDP of the well known infeasible Interior Point method for linear programming of Kojima, Megiddo and Mizuno (A primal-dual infeasible-interior-point algorithm for Linear Programming, Math. Progr., 1993). The extension developed here allows the use of inexact search directions; i.e., the linear systems defining the search directions can be solved with an accuracy that increases as the solution is approached. A convergence analysis is carried out and the global convergence of the method is proved. 相似文献

The self-assembly of lipophilic deoxyguanosine derivatives 1 and 2 has been studied in solution by NMR spectroscopy and ESI-MS (electrospray ionization mass spectrometry). NMR data show the existence of two types of self-assembled, ribbonlike structures (A and B), which are connected at the guanine moieties through two different H-bonded networks. The first species (A), which is stable in the solid state and characterised by cyclic NH(2)-O(6) and NH(1)-N(7) hydrogen bonds, is detected soon after dissolving the polycrystalline powder in rigorously anhydrous CDCl3. In solution it slowly undergoes a structural transition towards a thermodynamically stable ribbon characterised by NH(1)-O(6) and NH(2)-N(3) cyclic hydrogen bonds (B). On the other hand, at surfaces, self-assembled ribbon nanostructures have been grown from solutions of derivative 1 both on mica and at the graphite-solution interface. They have been investigated by means of tapping mode scanning force microscopy (SFM) and scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM), respectively. SFM revealed dry, micrometer-long nanoribbons with a molecular cross-section. while STM imaging at submolecular resolution indicates a molecular packing of type A, like the one detected in the solid state. This indicates that, upon adsorption at the solid-liquid interface, the guanosine moieties undergo a structural rearrangement from a B-type to an A-type ribbon. 相似文献

Two series of enantiopure azobenzenes with a p-tolylsulfoxide at the ortho or meta position with respect to the azo group, have been regioselectively synthesized. Both can act as enantiopure molecular switches showing different structural features owing to the presence of the stereogenic sulfur. The photoisomerization process, studied by UV-vis, circular dichroism (CD), NMR, and chiral HPLC evidenced a double role of the sulfoxide. A transfer of chirality from the sulfoxide to the azo system was observed by CD in both cis and trans-isomers of the meta sulfinyl derivatives 3, whereas this perturbation was evident for the ortho sulfinyl series 7 only in the cis isomer. The NMR study evidenced that the s-cis rigid conformation of the bisaromatic sulfoxide was fixing a different orientation of the overall system in each series both in the trans and cis isomers, by forcing a final U-shaped structure in cis-3 and an S-shaped structure in cis-7. Very different values of specific optical rotations were measured in both trans and cis isomers, also reflecting the existence of distinct chiral entities in the photostationary states. The easy and reversible changes occurring between different conformational states could find applications in the photocontrol of several molecular switches. 相似文献

Halogen bond is an important non-covalent interaction which is receiving a growing attention in the study of protein-ligand complexes. Many drugs are halogenated molecules and it has been recently shown that many halogenated ligands establish halogen bonds with biomolecules. As the halogen bond nature is due to an anisotropy of the electrostatic potential around halogen atoms, it is not possible to use traditional force fields based on a set of atom-centred charges to study halogen bonds in biomolecules. We show that the introduction of pseudo-atoms on halogens permits us to correctly describe the anisotropy of the electrostatic potential and to perform molecular dynamics simulations on complexes of proteins with halogenated ligands that reproduce experimental values. The results are compared with crystallographic data and with hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics calculations. 相似文献

When a chiral dopant is dissolved in an achiral liquid crystal medium, the whole sample organizes into a helical structure with a characteristic length-scale of the order of microns. The relation between chirality at these quite different length-scales can be rationalized by a relatively simple model, which retains the relevant factors coming into play: the molecular shape of the chiral dopant, which controls the chirality of short range intermolecular interactions, and the elastic properties of the nematic environment, which control the restoring torques opposing distortion of the director. In this tutorial review the relation between molecular and phase chirality will be reviewed and several applications of the chiral doping of nematic LCs will be discussed. These range from the exploitation of the amplified molecular chirality for stereochemical purposes (e.g., the determination of the absolute configuration or the enantiomeric excess), to newer applications in physico-chemical fields. The latter take advantage of the periodicity of the chiral field, with length-scales ranging from hundreds to thousands of nanometres, which characterise the cholesteric phase. 相似文献
