Hydrothermal Synthesis and Structure of[{Mo_8V_4O_(36)(VO_4)(VO)_2}n]~(7n-)Bi-capped α-Keggin Fragments Linked to a Chain

The title compound, (H2en)3H3O{Mo8V4O36(VO4) (VO)2} ?4H2O, was hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by means of IR, ESR spectrum and single crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallized in a monoclinic system with space group P21/c, a=1. 980 4(4) nm, 6=2. 063 4(4) nm, c=l. 192 0(2) nm, =94. 76(3)?and deep black colour. The compound contains V-centered bi-capped a-Keggin fragments {Mo8V7O42} that are linked together by edge-shared units V O5 via V桹梀 bonds, forming a chain.     

A New Diterpene Glycoside from Isodon forrestii

The genus Isodon has been shown to be a rich source of diterpenes, especially the highly oxidized ent-kaurene diterpenoids with various biological activities1-3. The chemical constituents of Isodon forrestii was reported by Yun Long Xu et al.4. We have investigated the titled plant collected in another place, from the 70% acetone extract of the aerial parts of I. forrestii, seven compounds including a new diterpene glycoside 1 were isolated by a combination of silica gel, preparative TLC an…     

Peduncin, A New Indole Alkaloid from Pueraria peduncualris

Pueraria peduncularis (Grah. ex Benth.) Benth. is a plant of Leguminosae which grows in the southwest of China. Different from other plants of Pueraria, it could not be used as a medicine due to its toxicity1. In order to use the Pueraria plants safer, we studied the constituents of P. peduncularis. Previous phytochemical studies of an n-BuOH extract afforded three triterpenoid saponins2-3. The continuing investigation on CHCl3 extract led to the isolation of a new indole alkaloid. …     

Synthesis and DNA Cleavage Studies of 2,6-Dimethoxyhydroquinone-3-Mercaptoacetic Acid Conjugates

In previous paper and work, we reported the synthesis and cytotoxicity studies of a novel series of short chain peptide conjugates of the cytotoxic agent 2, 6-dimethoxyhydro -quinone-3-mercaptoacetic acid1 (DMQ-MA). The DMQ-MA is a derivative of 2,6-dimethoxybenzoquinone, which is a natural product of fermented wheat germ and found to have a wide spectrum of cytotoxicity against various tumor cell lines under the synergistic activation of L-ascorbic acid (AH2)2,3. Compared with DMQ, DMQ…

A New Organo-templated Layered Zincophosphate Synthesized from a Solvothermal System Containing Racemic1,2-Diaminopropane

IntroductionSince Wilson and co- workers successfullysynthesized three- dimensional microporousaluminophosphates (Al PO4 - n ) [1] in the 1 980 s,much attention has been focused on the explorationof1 - D chain,2 - D layer and3 - D open- frameworkmetal phosphates from aqueous or non- aqueoussystems.The number of metals incorporated intothe frameworks of these materials is continuouslyincreasing and the metals include Be[2 ] ,Ga[3] ,In[4 ] ,Sn[5] ,Sb[6 ] ,and the transition metals Zn[7] ,Ni…     

Antioxidative Effect of Schiff Bases with o-Hydroxybenzylidene Groupon Free Radical Induced Hemolysis of Human Red Blood Cell

IntroductionThe recent development of free radical biologyand medicine has provided a great deal of clinicaland experimental evidence indicating that the freeradical induced peroxidation of membrane lipids isassociated with a variety of chronic healthproblems,such as cancer,atherosclerosis andageing[1,2 ] . Both natural and synthetic antioxidantshave been used to trap peroxyl radicals and/orinitiating radicals to protect the membrane lipidsagainst free radical chain reactions,and hence mayhave…     

利用表面修饰调制GaAs纳米线的电子结构

采用第一性原理的密度泛函方法,研究了利用表面修饰来调制GaAs纳米线的电子结构. 在计算中考虑了几种不同的表面钝化材料（H、F、Cl、Br 和I）对GaAs纳米线电子结构的影响. 计算结果表明,不同的原子修饰GaAs 纳米线时对其能带结构的调制主要取决于它们对纳米线表面态的饱和能力. 表面修饰不仅可以调节GaAs纳米线的能隙大小,而且也可以调制其能隙类型. GaAs纳米线的电子结构由表面效应和量子限制效应共同来决定. 使用不同材料修饰表面的GaAs纳米线的能隙随直径的变化幅度并不相同. 表面修饰为实现同种直径和同种结构的GaAs纳米线的能带工程提供了一种新的途径.     

Determination the Hydrogen Stored in Carbon Nanotubes by NO Titration Method

With the diminution of fossil fuel resources and the increase in pollution, energy and environment have become a public concern. Mankind is in need of a new but clean energy resource. The use of hydrogen appears to be the answer. One of the technical challenges in hydrogen utilization is H2-storage. At present, materials for storing hydrogen are alloys such as LaNi5 and FeTi; the storage capacity is around 1.4 wt%, too low for practical application. Another problem with these alloys is…
