Preparation of multitracer solution from silver target irradiated by 80 MeV/nucleon 20Ne ions

A convenient procedure for preparing a multitracer solution from irradiated silver foils by 80 MeV/nucleon ²⁰Ne ions was developed. The carrier-free and salt-free solution containing 19 essential elements or trace elements for plant growth were prepared, and had been applied to study the regulation effect of metal ions on somatic embryogenesis of Lycium barbarum L.     

Synthesis of 1‐Methyl‐3‐aryl‐substituted Titanocene and Zirconocene Dichlorides and Crystal Structure of Bis[η5‐1‐methyl‐3‐(α, α‐dimethylbenzyl) cyclopentadienyl] titanium Dichloride

The syntheses of a series of l‐methyl‐3‐aryl‐substituted titanocene and zirconocene dichlorides are reported. These complexes are synthesized by the reaction of 2‐ and 3‐methyl‐6, 6‐dimethylfulvenes (1:4) with aryllithium, followed by the reaction with TiCl₄·2THF, ZrCl₄ and (CpTiCl₂)₂O respectively, to give complexes 1–5. The complex [η⁵‐1‐methyl‐3‐(α, α‐dimethylbenzyl) cyclopentadienyl] titanium dichloride has been studied by X‐ray diffraction. The red crystal of this complex is monoclinic, space group P2_t/C with unit cell parameters: a =6.973(6) × 10^?1 nm, b =36.91(2) × 10^?1 nm, c = 10.063(4) × 10^?1 nm, α=β= γ = 93.35(5)°, V = 2584(5) × 10^?3 nm³ and Z = 4. Refinement for 1004 observed reflections gives the final R of 0.088. There are four independent molecules per unit cell.     

Solvent effects on radical copolymerization of acrylonitrile and methyl acrylate: solvent polarity and solvent-monomer interaction

Abstract

New insights for the effects of organic solvent polarities and solvent-monomer interactions on the radical copolymerization for an important copolymer, poly(acrylonitrile-co-methyl acrylate) (PAN-co-MA), were provided in this research. Solvents, dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylacetamide (DMAc) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), were used as reaction media. The polarity of these solvents was in the sequence of DMAc?<?DMF?<?DMSO. By studying the reactivity ratios of AN and MA, the triad fractions of the resultant copolymers, the interactions between monomers and solvents, and the compositions of copolymers at various conversions, we concluded that the solvent polarity had minimal influence on the copolymerization of AN and MA, while the solvent-monomer interactions played important roles. The interactions between monomer-monomer, monomer-solvent, and solvent-solvent, were calculated based on quantum chemistry methods. Both theoretical calculations and experimental results suggested that AN and MA in DMSO tended to aggregate locally, while they could be homogeneously dissolved in DMAc and DMF. The interactions between solvent and monomers could cause local monomer concentration variations, or ‘bootstrap’ effect, which is one of the critical factors affecting the copolymerization process of AN and MA and the chemical structures of the resultant polymers.

Ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium tetrafluoroborate for shotgun membrane proteomics

The solubility and digestion efficiency are two crucial factors that might affect the identification of integral membrane proteins (IMPs). In this work, 1% (v/v) ionic liquid (IL), 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMIM BF₄), added in NH₄HCO₃ buffer (pH 8.3), was applied as a sample preparation buffer for IMPs analysis. Compared to the commonly used sodium dodecyl sulfate and methanol methods, the number of identified IMPs from rat brain by microcolumn reversed phase liquid chromatography (μRPLC)-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) was improved by over three times, which might be due to the fact that BMIM BF₄ offered high solubilizing ability for IMPs and good compatibility for tryptic digestion. Furthermore, compared to Rapigest and urea methods, with BMIM BF₄ method, the number of identified IMPs from rat brain could be improved 25% and 80%, respectively, which might be contributed to the good solubilizing ability and high thermal stability of such IL. With the sample treated by BMIM BF₄ method, by 2D-nanoSCX-RPLC-ESI-MS/MS, 1,450 non-redundant proteins and 7,978 unique peptides were identified from rat brain, and 418 proteins contained at least one predicted transmembrane domain, with false discovery rates of less than 1% for peptide identification, and at least two identified unique peptides per protein. All these results demonstrate that the BMIM BF₄ method is of high potential for the large-scale identification of IMPs.     

Pulsed-laser-deposited epitaxial aluminum nitride films on (111) Si for surface acoustic-wave applications

Epitaxial (001) aluminum nitride (AlN) thin films on (111) Si substrates are prepared using pulsed-laser deposition. The epitaxial structure of the as-prepared thin films is characterized by checking the X-ray-diffraction θ-2 θ scan and pole-figure, using scanning electron microscopy, infrared radiation (IR) spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The surface acoustic-wave resonance at 345 MHz for a 1.5 μm thick AlN film on a (111) Si substrate is observed using an inter-digital electrode.

Synthesis and properties of alkylated imidazoles

Alkylation of 4(5)-nitroimidazole-5(4)-sulfonamide with benzyl bromide occurred on both ring nitrogens. The structures of the products could be assigned by comparison of the chemical shifts of the sulfonamide hydrogens in the nmr spectra with those of the isomeric methyl derivatives, which were prepared by differing routes. Uv and nmr spectral data are reported for a number of bromo-, nitro-, mercapto-, sulfamyl- and amino- substituted imidazoles as well as for both of the isomeric methylated derivatives of the series.     

Light‐Induced Reversible Reconfiguration of DNA‐Based Constitutional Dynamic Networks: Application to Switchable Catalysis

The light‐induced reversible and cyclic reconfiguration of constitutional dynamic networks, consisting of supramolecular nucleic acid structures as constituents and a photoisomerizable trans/cis‐azobenzene‐functionalized nucleic acid as the trigger is demonstrated. In addition, the cyclic photochemical reconfiguration of the constitutional dynamic networks guides the switchable on/off operation of an emerging hemin/G‐quadruplex DNAzyme.     

The dewetting dynamics of the polymer thin film by solvent annealing

The slippage effect of the polymer chains is investigated in the dewetting process of the polymer solution film. The solvent-induced dewetting is used in our experiments to study the dynamics of hole growth in the dewetting process of the polymer solution film. Our results show that in the case of the low molecular weight polystyrene (PS) film, the slippage effect of the polymer chains is not displayed and the radius of the holes is R approximately exp(t/tau); in the case of the higher molecular weight PS film, the slippage effect of the polymer chain is not valid in the case of the thin film and that is valid in the case of the thick film, and the dynamic process of hole growth divides into three stages (R approximately t, and then R approximately t(x) (23相似文献   

Palladium-catalyzed ortho-selective C–H bond chlorination of aromatic ketones

A palladium-catalyzed ortho-selective C–H bond chlorination reaction for the preparation of 2-chloro aromatic ketones was described. Both electron-withdrawing and electron-donating groups on the aromatic rings are well tolerated under the optimized conditions. The 2-chloro aromatic ketones obtained by our method could be applied to synthesize the derivatives of 1H-indazole or benzo[d]isoxazole.
