HIGHLY SENSITIVE SPECTROPHOTOMETRY OF NIOBIUM

In pH2.0-3.0,niobium(V)forms molybdonlobic acid with sodiummolybdate.A spectrophotometric method has been developed for the deter-mination of niobium based on the formation of ion-associate compound ofmolybdoniobate with Butyl Rhodamine B in aqueous solution in the presenceof polyvinyl alcohol and 0.4-0.7 mol/L H_2SO_4.The maximum absorption ofion-associate compound exhioits at 85 nm and the molar absorptivity is7.5×1.0~5 L.mol~(-1).cm~(-1)for niobium.The new method has been applied tothe determination of microamounts niobium in silicate rock,when niobiumcontent is at the level of 8×10~(-3)%,with the relative standard deviationof about 3%.     

Design and synthesis of 2-alkylbenzimidazole derivatives as novel non-peptide angiotensin Ⅱ AT1 receptor antagonists

A series of 2-alkylbenzimidazole derivatives 9a-n have been designed and synthesized as a novel class of non-peptide angiotensin Ⅱ AT1 receptor antagonists. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antagonism of angiotensin Ⅱ, induced contraction in the rabbit thoracic aortic ring and the results showed that compounds 9a, 9g and 9j exhibited potent antagonistic activity of AT1 receptor.     

Amperometric Determination of lndole-3-acetic Acid Based on Platinum Nanowires and Carbon Nanotubes

Platinum nanowire （PtNW） can be grown by electrodeposition in polycarbonate membrane, with the average diameter of the nanowires about 250 nm. The PtNW and multiwalled carbon nanotubes （CNT） are then dispersed into chitosan （CHIT） solution. The resulting PtNW-CNT-CHIT material brings new capabilities for electrochemical devices by using the synergistic action of the electrocatalytic activity of PtNW and CNT. By dropping the PtNW-CNT-CHIT film onto the glassy carbon （GO） electrode surface, and after evaporation an amperometric sensor for the determination of indole-3-acetic acid （IAA） was developed. The oxidation current of IAA increased significantly at the PtNW-CNT-CHIT film coated GC electrode, in contrast to that at the CNT-CHIT modified GC. The linear response of the sensor is from 50 ng/ml to 50 μg/ml with a detection limit of 25 ng/mL.

Formation of ring calcium oxalate patterns induced by domains in DPPC Langmuir-Blodgett films

The ring patterns of calcium oxalate crystals were induced by domains in Langmuir-Blodgett （LB） films of dipalmitoylpho- sphatidylcboline （DPPC）. The result was explained by the defects at the ring boundaries of liquid condensed （LC） and liquid expanded （LE） phases of LB film. These boundaries could provide less free energy and much more nucleating sites for COM crystals.     

New Facile Synthesis of 2-Aryloxy-5-(2-furfurylidene)- 4H-imidazolin-4-ones

Many N-heterocycles including 4H-imidazolin-4-ones exhibit biological activities1-3. Some derivatives of 5-(2-furfurylidene)-4H-imidazolin-4-one were found to show good antiinflammatory activity4. They can be synthesized by condensation of furfural with 5- unsubsituted 4H-imidazolin-4-ones or from corresponding oxazolones5,6. However, no synthesis of 2-aryloxy substituted 5-(2-furfurylidene)-4H-imidazolin-4-one was reported. Recently, aza-Wittig reaction has received increased attention …     

An Efficient Deselenenylation Reaction to the Synthesis of 3, 5-Disubstituted Isoxazoline and Isoxazole

The development of organoselenium chemistry1 has been expanding rapidly during the last decades. Among them, organic selenides are key intermediates, for that they can be efficiently introduced, manipulated, and removed through selenoxide syn-elimination2. Our research group3 has been interested in the application of selenium in organic synthesis for several years. Isoxazolinyl substituted phenyl selenide 13a, although a β-H exists in the molecule, did not undergo selenoxide syn-elimination e…
