Borate adsorption at Pt(111) in acidic medium

The adsorption/desorption process of borate was studied at Pt(111) in acidic solution by cyclic voltammetry. A so-called butterfly wave in the cyclic voltammogram of Pt(111) in HClO₄ shifted to negative direction upon the addition of boric acid with the disappearance of its sharp spikes. The shift in potential was found to be −57 mV with a tenfold increase of boric acid concentration. This illustrates that this anomalous wave is due to borate adsorption/desorption by a one-electron transfer process. The borate adsorption/desorption wave was observed to shift by −63 mV/pH. At pH>3, the anomalous wave splits forming two separate waves, depending on the pH and the scan rate. The appearance of two waves is assigned to the change in the adsorption mode of borate or the participation of OH in the adsorption process.     

Coordination of solvent molecules to VO(acac)<Subscript>2</Subscript> complexes in solution studied by hyperfine sublevel correlation spectroscopy and pulsed electron nuclear double resonance

Interactions and binding sites of the solvent molecules chloroform and ethanol to bis(acetylacetonate)oxovanadium(IV) (VO(acac)₂) complexes in (frozen) solutions have been investigated by pulsed electron nuclear double resonance, sum peak electron spin echo envelope modulation and hyperfine sublevel correlation spectroscopy. The experimental proton hyperfine coupling data of coordinating solvent molecules have been interpreted using quantum chemical calculations (density functional theory). Experimental and computed hyperfine couplings indicate that ethanol coordinates to vanadium in the equatorial plane of VO(acac)₂ and chloroform interacts via hydrogen bonding to oxygens of the acac ligands.

Determination of stability constants of copper(II) complex of glycine in water + alcohol mixed solvents with ion selective electrode technique

The first stability constants (log beta(1)) of the copper(II) complex of glycine in water and in 13 water + alcohol (isopropanol, tert-butanol, 1,2-propylene glycol and glycerol) solvents have been determined at 25 degrees C and an ionic strength of 0.10, from pH and pCu measurements of cells containing copper(II) ion selective electrode. It has been shown that as the proportion of the alcohol increases, the stability constants become increasing positive in all of the mixed solvents examined. An almost linear relation between log beta(1) and the mole fraction of alcohol was found for the complex in aqueous solutions of isopropanol, tert-butanol and glycerol. The response of the copper(II) ion selective electrode in water and in water + alcohol mixed solvents was also investigated. The advantages of using an ion selective electrode to determine the stability constants in mixed solvents are discussed.     

Penicillones A and B, two novel polyketides with tricyclo [5.3.1.0] undecane skeleton, from a marine-derived fungus Penicillium terrestre

Two novel polyketides, penicillones A (1) and B (2), with tricyclo [5.3.1.0^3,8] undecane skeleton, were isolated from Penicillium terrestre. Their structures and relative stereochemistries were determined on the basis of spectroscopic methods. The absolute configuration of 2 was established by the modified Mosher’s method, while that of 1 was deduced from the similar CD absorptions of 1 and 2. Compound 1 showed weak cytotoxicities against P338 and A-549 cell lines, while 2 was inactive against P388.     

Effects of injector geometry and sample matrix on injection and sample loading in integrated capillary electrophoresis devices

The double-T injector design employed in many microchip capillary electrophoresis devices allows for the formation of very small (50-500 pL) sample plugs for subsequent analysis on-chip. In this study, we show that sample plugs formed at the channel junction can be geometrically defined. The channel width and injector symmetry prove to be of great importance to good performance. A unique pushback of solvent into the side channels can be induced when the side channels have a very low resistance to flow, and this helps to better define the injected sample plug. Samples and running buffers of differing ionic strength (e.g., 10 mM KCl buffer and 20 mM KCl sample) can yield widely variable results in terms of plug shape and amount injected (variations of 1.5 to 10x). Applying bias voltages to all the intersecting channels aids in controlling the plug shape. However, when the ionic strengths of buffer and sample are not matched, the actual amount injected (up to 10x variations) can be inconsistent with the appearance of the plug formed in the injector (up to only 30 % variations). Operating at constant pH and ionic strength produced the most consistent results. This report examines the effects of altering the injector geometry and solution ionic strengths, and presents the results of using bias voltages to control plug formation. The observed results should provide a benchmark for modeling of the fluid dynamics in channel intersections.

The structure characteristics of photoproducts of indolinospirooxazines

Photochromic reactions of four indolinospirooxazine derivatives have been studied using nanosecond laser flash photolysis techniques. Photolysis of the four compounds in acetonitrile and in cyclohexane all leads to the formation of the short-lived CT intermediates as the predominant photoproducts. In certain circumstances few photomerocyanines (PMC) can be observed. From the absorption bands and the lifetimes of CT intermediates, it has been speculated that the substituents at the nitrogen atom of the indole ring influence the structural characteristics of CT intermediates mainly through steric hindrance effects, whereas the substituents at the 5 position of the indoline ring influence mainly through electron effects. A potential energy surface model is established to explain the results.     

Orientation control of perovskite thin films on glass substrates by the application of a seed layer prepared from oxide nanosheets

Orientation control of perovskite compounds was investigated by the application of a seed layer prepared from oxide nanosheets. An aqueous suspension of oxide nanosheets was prepared by the exfoliation of a layered compound of KCa₂Nb₃O₁₀ oxide grains. A seed layer composed of (TBA)Ca₂Nb₃O₁₀ nanosheets (TBA = tetrabutylammonium) was formed on a glass substrate by simply dip coating it in the suspension. Two kinds of perovskite compounds, LaNiO₃ (LNO) and Pb(Zr,Ti)O₃ (PZT) with a preferred orientation of (00l) were successfully grown on this seeded glass substrate. In this study, the relation between lattice mismatch and electrical properties is investigated. A large, oriented PZT film with a size of 5 ×4 cm shows an improved P-E hysteresis behavior by use of this orientation control.     

PPP项目中非完全利益群体的合作形成机制研究

协调政府与社会资本合作的利益分歧,进而实现个体理性向集体理性的趋同,这是纾解PPP项目合作困境的切入点之一。基于合作博弈理论,本文构建PPP项目非完全利益群体的合作形成机制,分析政府与社会资本间“合作共赢”的必要因素。研究表明,由政府与社会资本组成的PPP项目非完全利益群体,可在“理性-效用转移-有效协商”机制的协同作用下主动采取最优合作策略。其中,理性机制验证了政府与社会资本达成合作意向的前提,效用转移机制可实现二者之间的风险-收益对等,有效协商机制将达成政府与社会资本合作的帕累托均衡。
