A simple and fast method for the determination of As, Ba, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Ga, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Rb, Se, Sr, Tl, U, V and Zn in biological samples by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), after sample solubilization with formic acid and introduction by a microconcentric nebulizer, is proposed. The sample is mixed with formic acid, kept at 90 °C for one hour and then diluted with nitric acid aqueous solution to a 50% v/v formic acid and 1% v/v nitric acid final concentrations. The final sample solution flow rate for introduction into the plasma was 30 μL min−1. The optimized and adopted nebulizer gas flow rate was 0.7 L min−1 and RF power was 800 W. These conditions are very different than those normally used when a conventional nebulizer is employed. Rodhium was used as internal standard. External calibration against aqueous standard solutions, without formic acid, could be used for quantification, except for As, Se and Zn. However, external calibration with 50% formic acid allows the determination of all analytes with high accuracy and it is recommended. The detection limits were between 0.0005 (Tl) and 0.22 mg kg−1 (Fe) and the precision expressed by the relative standard deviations (RSD) were between 0.2% (Sr) and 3.5% (Ga). Accuracy was validated by the analysis of four certified reference biological materials of animal tissues, comparing the results by linear regressions and by the t-test at a 95% confidence level. The recommended procedure avoids plasma instability and carbon deposit on the cones. 相似文献
The fluid flow of the liquid phase in the sol-gel-dip-coating process for SnO2 thin film deposition is numerically simulated. This calculation yields useful information on the velocity distribution close
to the substrate, where the film is deposited. The fluid modeling is done by assuming Newtonian behavior, since the linear
relation between shear stress and velocity gradient is observed. Besides, very low viscosities are used. The fluid governing
equations are the Navier–Stokes in the two dimensional form, discretized by the finite difference technique. Results of optical
transmittance and X-ray diffraction on films obtained from colloidal suspensions with regular viscosity, confirm the substrate
base as the thickest part of the film, as inferred from the numerical simulation. In addition, as the viscosity increases,
the fluid acquires more uniform velocity distribution close to the substrate, leading to more homogenous and uniform films. 相似文献
The reaction of the phenyl radical 1 with water has been investigated by using matrix isolation spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations. The primary thermal product of the reaction between 1 and water is a weakly bound complex stabilized by an OH???π interaction. This complex is photolabile, and visible‐light irradiation (λ>420 nm) results in hydrogen atom transfer from water to radical 1 and the formation of a highly labile complex between benzene and the OH radical. This complex is stable under the conditions of matrix isolation, however, continuous irradiation with λ>420 nm light results in the complete destruction of the aromatic system and formation of an acylic unsaturated ketene. The mechanisms of all reaction steps are discussed in the light of ab initio and DFT calculations. 相似文献
We present velocity map images of the NO, O((3)P(J)) and O((1)S(0)) photofragments from NO(2) excited in the range 7.6 to 9.0 eV. The molecule was initially pumped with a visible photon between 2.82-2.95 eV (440-420 nm), below the first dissociation threshold. A second ultraviolet laser with photon energies between 4.77 and 6.05 eV (260-205 nm) was used to pump high-lying excited states of neutral NO(2) and/or probe neutral photoproducts. Analysis of the kinetic energy release spectra revealed that the NO photofragments were predominantly formed in their ground electronic state with little kinetic energy. The O((3)P(J)) and O((1)S(0)) kinetic energy distributions were also dominated by kinetically 'cold' fragments. We discuss the possible excitation schemes and conclude that the unstable photoexcited states probed in the experiment were Rydberg states coupled to dissociative valence states. We compare our results with recent time-resolved studies using similar excitation and probe photon energies. 相似文献
Moderate to good levels of substrate-based 1,5-syn-stereocontrol could be achieved in the boron-mediated aldol reactions of β-tert-butyl methylketones with achiral aldehydes, independent of the nature of the β-alkoxy protecting group (P = PMB or TBS). The analysis of the relative energies of the transition structures by theoretical calculations using the density functional B3LYP shows relative energies favoring the corresponding OUT-1,5-SYN transition structures, explaining the observed 1,5-syn stereoinduction. 相似文献
The use of a silicon stereocontrol element in cyclobutanol and cyclopentanol-forming cyclizations mediated by SmI(2) results in excellent diastereocontrol. The C-Si bond in the products of cyclization provides a versatile handle for further manipulation. An asymmetric route to cyclization substrates involving copper-catalyzed silyl transfer has also been developed. 相似文献
We report results from an experiment on the decay of the high-K isomers in 254No. We have been able to establish the decay from the known high-lying four-quasiparticle isomer, which we assign as a Kπ=16+ state at an excitation energy of Ex=2.928(3) MeV. The decay of this state passes through a rotational band based on a previously unobserved state at Ex=2.012(2) MeV, which we suggest is based on a two-quasineutron configuration with Kπ=10+. This state in turn decays to a rotational band based on the known Kπ=8− isomer, which we infer must also have a two quasineutron configuration. We are able to assign many new gamma-rays associated with the decay of the Kπ=8− isomer, including the identification of a highly K-forbidden ΔK=8 E1 transition to the ground-state band. These results provide valuable new information on the orbitals close to the Fermi surface, pairing correlations, deformation and rotational response, and K-conservation in nuclei of the deformed trans-fermium region. 相似文献
X-band electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra and fluorescence measurements were performed on Mn-doped Na2ZnP2O7 (NZPO) single crystal synthesized by the Czochralski pulling method and glasses synthesized by the quenching process. For the single crystal, ESR angular dependences were measured in both the zx and xy plans of the NZPO lattice. The fine and hyperfine structure parameters and g-factor values were determined by modelling the experimental spectra. Using the Newman superposition model, the resonating centres in the single crystal and powder (crushed from crystals) samples are assigned to Mn2+ ions substituting for both zinc and sodium. For the glass sample the analysis of the ESR data shows that Mn2+ ions substitute for the Na+ ions. These interpretations are confirmed by the fluorescence measurements with a unique broad red band for the glassy compound and the presence of two emission bands (green and red) in the case of the crystal sample. 相似文献
Are you in? Bimetallic PtRu nanoparticles have been selectively confined inside or deposited outside carbon nanotubes (see picture). The confined nanoparticles display significantly higher selectivity and catalytic activity in hydrogenation reactions.
ReacTiO 2 ns for rings : Gold nanoparticles supported on TiO2 are used as a novel heterogeneous catalyst for the isomerization of epoxides to allylic alcohols by a concerted mechanism (see scheme). The reaction proceeds in high yields and the product selectivity is often remarkable.
