Investigations on adsorption potentiometry-part VIII. Determination of ultratrace copper in food by derivative adsorption chronopotentiometry

An electroanalytical method, based on derivative chronopotentiometry of the copper complex with 4-[(4-diethylamino-2-hydroxyphenyl) azo]-5-hydroxy-naphthalene-2,7-disulphonic acid (Beryllon III) accumulated on the surface of a hanging mercury drop electrode, for determining trace copper in food has been developed. The dependence of the peak height of reduction of the copper complex on the preconcentration time and preconcentration potential are discussed. Optimum experimental conditions include 0.01 M HOAc, 0.01M NaOAc, 1.0 x 10(-6) Beryllon III and a preconcentration potential of 0.10 V (vs. SCE). Under these conditions the detection limit and the linear range are 4 x 10(-11)M and 6 x 10(-11) -4 x 10(-7)M, respectively. The method was applied to samples of digested rice.     

A novel definition of the overall hyper-wiener index for unsaturated hydrocarbons

By replacing the distances between pairs of vertices with the relative distances, we define a novel overall hyper-Wiener index (NOR); the novel overall hyper-Wiener index extends the usefulness of the hyper-Wiener index and the overall hyper-Wiener index to unsaturated hydrocarbons.     

载镍沸石上NH3-TPD脱附峰的非酸性探讨

NH_3-TPD技术表征固体催化剂的酸性似乎已很成熟,其实不然。如该技术表征HZSM-5沸石时,有作者观察到773K左右的高温脱氨峰,而有些作者则检测不到。诚然,各作者间所用试样及预处理条件等存在差异,但实验装置和实验操作条件不同带来的影响也不可忽视。此外,该技术在用于表征一些新的较复杂的催化剂时,其程脱谱也会呈现出新现象,这些现象有时是不能通过酸性来解释的,这是因为NH_3作为探针分子不仅具有碱性,同时还有还原性和配位性。本文对载镍沸石上NH_3-TPD谱图中出现的某些新峰进行了剖析和归属。     

铬酸引发丙烯腈与苎麻纤维接枝共聚反应

棉、麻类织物通过与乙烯类单体接枝共聚可以提高染色性、皱折回复性、耐磨性、防污性等［‘j．纤维素接枝共聚物的合成始于50年代，目前研究最多的是乙烯类单体通过自由基活性中间体与纤维素进行接技共聚，但此法存在一个突出的问题是在接技共聚的同时生成大量均聚物．铬酸（下文用Cr’“表示）是公认的强氧化剂，据报道［’－‘j，它单独存在时并不能引发乙烯类单体聚合，如果用Cr‘”引发乙烯类单体与纤维素接技共聚，均聚物的生成量将会减少．本文以Cr’”为引发剂，将丙烯睛（AN）与艺麻纤维进行接技共聚，考查不同条件对接技率及均聚…     

The Tolman length: is it positive or negative?

By means of a large-scale molecular dynamics simulation, we show that the Tolman length, although positive, is much smaller in magnitude than previously reported. We found that the range of interparticle interaction can significantly affect the magnitude of the Tolman length. When the range of interaction is longer than five molecular diameters, the Tolman length is on the order of a few hundredths of the molecular diameter, rather than a few tenths known previously.     

Lancifodilactone G: a unique nortriterpenoid isolated from Schisandra lancifolia and its anti-HIV activity

[structure: see text]. Lancifodilactone G (1), a novel, highly oxygenated nortriterpenoid featuring a partial enol structure and a spirocyclic moiety, was isolated from the medicinal plant Schisandra lancifolia. Its structure and stereochemistry were determined from extensive one- and two-dimensional NMR and mass spectral data, coupled with single-crystal X-ray analysis. Compound 1 exerted minimal cytotoxicity against C8166 cells (CC50 > 200 microg/mL) and showed anti-HIV activity with EC50 = 95.47 +/- 14.19 microg/mL and a selectivity index in the range of 1.82-2.46.     

A New Brominated Phenylpropylaldehyde and its Dimethyl Acetal from Red Alga Rhodomela confervoides

A new brominated phenylpropylaldehyde and its dimethyl acetal together with a new natural brominated phenol were isolated from Rhodomela confervoides. Their structrues were elucidated as 2-methyl-3-(2,3-dibromo-4,5-dihydroxyphenyl)propylaldehyde, 2-methyl-3-(2,3-di-bromo-4,5-dihydroxyphenyl) propylaldehyde dimethyl acetal and 3-bromo-4,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid methyl ester by spectroscopic techniques including IR, HRFABMS, 1D and 2DNMR experiments.     

巯基葡聚糖凝胶分离富集光度法测定镉的研究
