Density Functional Theory Calculations on Rhodamine B and Pinacyanol Chloride. Optimized Ground State,Dipole Moment,Vertical Ionization Potential,Adiabatic Electron Affinity and Lowest Excited Triplet State

The ground state configuration of the gas phase cationic dyes pinacyanol chloride and rhodamine B are optimized with HF/6–311 + G(2d,2p) method and basis set. B3PW91/6–311 + G(2df,2p) functional and basis set is used to calculate the Mulliken atom charge distribution, total molecular energy, the dipole moment, the vertical ionization potential, the adiabatic electron affinity and the lowest excited triplet state, the last three as an energy difference between separately calculated open shell and ground states. The triplet and extra electron states are optimized to find the relaxation energy. In the ground state optimization of both dyes the chloride anion migrates to a position near the center of the chromophore. For rhodamine B the benzoidal group turns perpendicular to the chromophore plane. For both dyes, the LUMO is mostly of π character associated with the aromatic part of the molecule containing the chromophore. The highest occupied MOs consist of three almost degenerate eigenvectors involving the chloride anion coordinated with σ electrons in the molecular framework. The fourth highest MO is of π character. For both molecules in the gas phase ionization process the chloride anion loses the significant fraction of electric charge. In electron capture, the excess charge goes mainly on the dye cation.     

A STUDY OF THE PRIMARY ELECTROVISCOUS EFFECT IN PYREX GLASS SUSPENSIONS.

An experimental investigation on the electrokinetic phenomenon known as primary electroviscous effect is described for suspensions of Pyrex glass, a highly charged and well known material. By means of an automatic method, the viscosity of the suspensions is measured for different volume fractions of solids, at various electrolyte concentrations and pH values. These measurements allow the estimation of the electroviscous coefficient, p. The electrophoretic mobility was determined for the same systems and zeta potential calculated from these experimental data in order to carry out the comparison between the measured values of p and different theoretical predictions. A qualitative agreement between theory and experiment was found in many cases, but the rigorous theories seem to systemmatically underestimate the experimental p values. The reasons for this disagreement are discussed in addition to the general trends of the electrokinetic behaviour of Pyrex glass.     

Theoretical Study on the Structural and Optoelectronic Properties of the Linear Perfluorooctane Sulfonate （PFOS）

The perfluoroalkyl substances(PFS) have attracted considerable attention in recent years as a persistent global pollutant to be able to bioaccumulate in higher organisms.In this paper,theoretical analysis on electronic structures,optoelectronic properties and absorption spectra properties of the perflurooctane sulfonate(PFOS) in gas phase have been investigated by using the DFT/TD-DFT method.The geometric structures,electrostatic potentials,energy gaps,ionization potentials,electron affinities,frontier molecular orbital,excitation energies and absorption spectra for the ground state of PFOS were calculated.The result indicates that the ability of accepting electron of neutral PFOS is larger than that of anionic PFOS,while the electron excited by UV irradiation from HOMO to LUMO in the anionic PFOS is easier than that in the neutral PFOS.     

Harnessing the Flexibility of Peptidic Scaffolds to Control their Copper(II)‐Coordination Properties: A Potentiometric and Spectroscopic Study

Designing small peptides that are capable of binding Cu²⁺ ions mainly through the side‐chain functionalities is a hard task because the amide nitrogen atoms strongly compete for Cu²⁺ ion coordination. However, the design of such peptides is important for obtaining biomimetic small systems of metalloenyzmes as well as for the development of artificial systems. With this in mind, a cyclic decapeptide, C‐Asp, which contained three His residues and one Asp residue, and its linear derivative, O‐Asp, were synthesized. The C‐Asp peptide has two Pro? Gly β‐turn‐inducer units and, as a result of cyclization, and as shown by CD spectroscopy, its backbone is constrained into a more defined conformation than O‐Asp, which is linear and contains a single Pro? Gly unit. A detailed potentiometric, mass spectrometric, and spectroscopic study (UV/Vis, CD, and EPR spectroscopy) showed that at a 1:1 Cu²⁺/peptide ratio, both peptides formed a major [CuHL]²⁺ species in the pH range 5.0–7.5 (C‐Asp) and 5.5–7.0 (O‐Asp). The corrected stability constants of the protonated species (log K*_CuH(O?Asp)=9.28 and log K*_CuH(C?Asp)=10.79) indicate that the cyclic peptide binds Cu²⁺ ions with higher affinity. In addition, the calculated value of K_eff shows that this higher affinity for Cu²⁺ ions prevails at all pH values, not only for a 1:1 ratio but even for a 2:1 ratio. The spectroscopic data of both [CuHL]²⁺ species are consistent with the exclusive coordination of Cu²⁺ ions by the side‐chain functionalities of the three His residues and the Asp residue in a square‐planar or square‐pyramidal geometry. Nonetheless, although these data show that, upon metal coordination, both peptides adopt a similar fold, the larger conformational constraints that are present in the cyclic scaffold results in different behaviour for both [CuHL]²⁺ species. CD and NMR analysis revealed the formation of a more rigid structure and a slower Cu²⁺‐exchange rate for [CuH(C‐Asp)]²⁺ compared to [CuH(O‐Asp]²⁺. This detailed comparative study shows that cyclization has a remarkable effect on the Cu²⁺‐coordination properties of the C‐Asp peptide, which binds Cu²⁺ ions with higher affinity at all pH values, stabilizes the [CuHL]²⁺ species in a wider pH range, and has a slower Cu²⁺‐exchange rate compared to O‐Asp.     

Valence‐to‐Core X‐Ray Emission Spectroscopy of Iron–Carbonyl Complexes: Implications for the Examination of Catalytic Intermediates

Valence‐to‐core X‐ray emission spectroscopy (V2C XES) has been applied to a series of compounds relevant to both homogeneous catalysts and intermediates in heterogeneous reactions, namely [Fe(CO)₅], [Fe₂(CO)₉], [Fe₃(CO)₁₂], [Fe(CO)₃(cod)] (cod=cyclo‐octadienyl), [Fe₂Cp₂(CO)₄] (Cp=cyclo‐pentadienyl), [Fe₂Cp*₂(CO)₄] (Cp*=tetramethylcyclopentadienyl), and [FeCp(CO)₂(thf)][B(ArF)₄] (ArF=pentafluorophenyl). DFT calculations of the V2C XES spectra show very good agreement with experiment, which allows for an in depth analysis of the origins of the observed spectral signatures. It is demonstrated that the observed spectral features can be broken down into specific ligand and metal fragment contributions. The relative intensities of the observed features are further explained through a quantitative investigation of the metal 3p and 4p contributions to the spectra. The ability to use V2C XES to separate carbonyl, hydrocarbon, and solvent contributions is highlighted.

径向电场对纳米管中水分子通量的影响

水分子在纳米通道中的运动对于生命活动、纳米器件的设计等都有着重要的意义. 现在已经证实, 在(6,6)的碳纳米管中, 水分子会以单分子水链的形式协同通过碳纳米管. 但是如何控制水分子的流量仍然是一个困难的课题. 本文研究了在径向电场作用下, 碳纳米管中水分子通量的变化趋势和碳纳米管的开关行为.发现在碳纳米管两端存在200 MPa的压力差时, 电场强度从1 V·nm^-1增加到3 V·nm^-1, 水分子通量线性减小. 当径向电场强度增加到3 V·nm^-1时, 碳纳米管处于关闭状态, 水分子无法通过碳纳米管. 进一步, 我们发现水偶极与碳纳米管管轴夹角的平均值的概率分布和翻转频率都与水分子在纳米管中的个数有很大关系.     

Determination of estrogens in environmental water samples using 1,3‐dipentylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ionic liquid as extraction solvent in dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction

In this work, the potential of a symmetric dialkyl‐substituted ionic liquid (IL), 1,3‐dipenthylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([PPIm][PF₆]), as extraction solvent in dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME) has been studied for the analysis of a group of three natural (estriol, 17β‐estradiol, and 17α‐estradiol) and four synthetic (17α‐ethynylestradiol, diethylstibestrol, dienestrol, and hexestrol) estrogenic compounds as well as one mycotoxin with estrogenic activity (zearalenone) in different types of water samples (Milli‐Q, mineral, and wastewater). Separation, determination, and quantification were developed by HPLC‐DAD and a fluorescence detector (FD) connected in series. Factors influencing the IL‐DLLME procedure (sample pH, amount of IL, type and volume of disperser solvent, ionic strength, and assistance of vortex agitation) were investigated and optimized by means of a step‐by‐step approach. Once the optimum extraction conditions were established (10 mL of water at pH 8, 60 mg of [PPIm][PF₆], 500 μL of ACN as disperser solvent and vortex agitation for 1 min), the calibration curves of the whole method (IL‐DLLME‐HPLC‐DAD/FD) were obtained and precision and accuracy were evaluated. It was demonstrated that the developed methodology was repeatable, accurate, and selective with limits of detection in the 0.30–0.57 μg/L and 13.8–37.1 μg/L range for FD and DAD, respectively. Relative recovery values were higher than 85% for the different types of water samples and the Student's t test demonstrated that there were not significant differences between the added and the found concentration.
