Enzymatic reaction of the immobilized enzyme on porous silicon studied by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry

Desorption/ionization on silicon mass spectrometry (DIOS-MS) is a matrix-free technique that allows for the direct desorption/ionization of low-molecular-weight compounds with little or no fragmentation of analytes. This technique has a relatively high tolerance for contaminants commonly found in biological samples. DIOS-MS has been applied to determine the activity of immobilized enzymes on the porous silicon surface. Enzyme activities were also monitored with the addition of a competitive inhibitor in the substrate solution. It is demonstrated that this method can be applied to the screening of enzyme inhibitors. Furthermore, a method for peptide mapping analysis by in situ digestion of proteins on the porous silicon surface modified by trypsin, combined with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight-MS has been developed.     

Highly sensitive spectrophotometric determination of trace amounts of platinum(IV) with the molybdate-basic dyes-poly(vinyl alcohol) system

Three highly sensitive spectrophotometric methods for the determination of platinum(IV) have been developed, based on its colour reactions with molybdate and basic dyes (BD) in aqueous solution in the presence of poly(vinyl alcohol). Platinum(IV) reacts with molybdate and BD to form ion — association complexes of composition (BD)₂[Pt (MoO₄)₃]. The molar absorptivities are between 6.83 × 10⁵ and 9.51 × 10⁵ dm³mol^–1cm^–1, the highest value being found with nile blue. Suitable conditions for the reactions and the effects of foreign ions were investigated. The methods can be applied to the spectrophotometric determination of trace amounts of platinum(IV) in some catalysts and ores.     

Reactions of gold atoms and small clusters with CO: Infrared spectroscopic and theoretical characterization of Au(n)CO (n = 1-5) and Au(n)(CO)2 (n = 1, 2) in solid argon

Laser-ablated Au atoms have been co-deposited with CO molecules in solid argon to produce gold carbonyls. In addition to the previously reported Au(CO)n (n = 1, 2) and Au2(CO)2 molecules, small gold cluster monocarbonyls Au(n)CO (n = 2-5) are formed on sample annealing and characterized using infrared spectroscopy on the basis of the results of the isotopic substitution and CO concentration change and comparison with theoretical predictions. Of particular interest is that the mononuclear gold carbonyls, Au(CO)n (n = 1, 2), are favored under the experimental conditions of higher CO concentration and lower laser energy, whereas the yields of the gold cluster carbonyls, Au(n)CO (n = 2-5) and Au2(CO)2, remarkably increase with lower CO concentration and higher laser power. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed on these molecules and the corresponding small naked gold clusters. The identities of these gold carbonyls Au(n)CO (n = 1-5) and Au(n)(CO)2 (n = 1, 2) are confirmed by the good agreement between the experimental and calculated vibrational frequencies, relative absorption intensities, and isotopic shifts.

新型重整催化剂的研究—Pt／BaKL型沸石中钡的作用

本文采用XRD,NH_3-TPD,IR以及TEM等方法考察了Pt/BaKL沸石中Ba~(2+)的作用。NH_3-TPD结果表明,交换Ba~(2+)后的L型沸石的酸性,由于阳离子的作用仅在弱酸范围内有些改变,但与载铂的沸石的催化活性无明显的对应关系。IR及XRD谱线表明,BaKL沸石中Ba~(2+)在最佳交换度(26.3%)时,随预培烧温度的提高,使Ba~(2+)处于沸石孔道中B、C、D位置,接近于最佳分布,此时IR谱线上1421cm~(-1)处有一新峰。当沸石负载铂后,因铂与Ba~(2+)的相互作用,新峰消失,导致铂粒在沸石上分布更加均匀;铂粒在1.5—3.0nm之间占有最大比例,使得Pt/BaKL沸石呈现芳构化活性及选择性高于Pt/KL沸石,分别为～98%和～95%。     

Biopolymer and carbon nanotubes interface prepared by self-assembly for studying the electrochemistry of microperoxidase-11

Stable films of biopolymer chitosan and carbon nanotubes were prepared by a layer-by-layer self-assembly technique. Atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and UV-vis spectroscopy were used to characterize the film assembly. Atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy showed that an even, stable film was formed. The UV-vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry study indicated the uniform growth of the film. The property of the self-assembled multilayer film in promoting protein electron transfer was demonstrated by incorporating microperoxidase-11 in the film. Microperoxidase-11 in the multilayer film could transfer electrons with the electrode indicating that carbon nanotubes could wire the protein to the electrode. The electrocatalytic activity of the microperoxidase-11 containing multilayer film-modified electrode toward H(2)O(2) and O(2) was investigated. The results showed that along with the increase in the assembled layers the electrocatalytic reduction potentials of H(2)O(2) and O(2) shifted positively. The prepared multilayer film of chitosan and carbon nanotubes containing protein was a sensitive interface for electrocatalytic study.

Homogeneous rare earth coordination catalysts for copolymerization of styrene with acrylonitrile

The study on homogeneous rare earth coordination catalysts, LnL₃-Al(i-Bu)₃-CCl₄, for the copolymerization of styrene with acrylonitrile has been successfully carried out for the first time. Some features and kinetic behavior of copolymerization of styrene with acrylonitrile by Nd(P₂₀₄)₃-Al(i-Bu)₃-CCl₄ system are described. The catalyst sites appear to possess both coordinate anionic and free radical characteristics. The catalytic activity of various rare earth elements in Ln(P₂₀₄)₃ and ligands in NdL₃ for the copolymerization have the following order, respectively: Yb > Er > Tb ～ Tm > Ho > Ce > Lu ～ Sm ～ La > Pr > Nd, and Nd(naph)₃ > Nd(P₂₀₄)₃ ～ Nd(P₅₀₇)₃ > Nd(acac)₃·3H₂O. An alternating-rich copolymer of styrene-acrylonitrile with a high softening point (195–230°C) was obtained by the LnL₃-Al(i-Bu)₃-CCl₄ systems in toluene at 80°C.
