Summary: Macrocyclic compounds having 18-, 19-, 22-, and 23-membered rings were prepared quantitatively by ring closing metathesis of diene substrates consisting of a rigid o- or m-phthalate group and flexible but geometrically regulated 2,4-pentanediol tethers. From the p-phthalate analogues, the ring closing metathesis and the cyclic dimmer formation were observed to give 24-membered ring (70% yield) and 40-membered ring (65% yield) respectively. 相似文献
The relativistic quantum electron gas embedded in a strong magnetic field is studied by calculating its covariant Wigner function in thermal equilibrium. Previous results obtained earlier by Canuto and Chiu are then recovered in a unified way. The polarization tensor is calculated with the use of a covariant quantum BGK equation. Also the lifetime of the neutron in such a medium is calculated for the sake of illustration of the usefulness of the covariant Wigner function. 相似文献
A new chelating resin using chitosan as a base material was synthesized. Functional moiety of 2-amino-5-hydroxy benzoic acid (AHBA) was chemically bonded to the amino group of cross-linked chitosan (CCTS) through the arm of chloromethyloxirane (CCTS-AHBA resin). Several elements, such as Ag, Be, Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb, U, V, and rare earth elements (REEs), could be adsorbed on the resin. To use the resin for on-line pretreatment, the resin was packed in a mini-column and installed into a sequential-injection/automated pretreatment system (Auto-Pret System) coupled with inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). The sequential-injection/automated pretreatment system was a laboratory-assembled, and the program was written using Visual Basic software. This system can provide easy operation procedures, less reagent consumption, as well as less waste production.
Experimental variables considered as effective factors in the improvement sensitivity, such as an eluent concentration, a sample and an eluent flow rate, pH of samples, and air-sandwiched eluent were carefully optimized. The proposed system provides excellent on-line collection efficiency, as well as high concentration factors of analytes in water samples, which results in highly sensitive detection of ultra-trace and trace analysis. Under the optimal conditions, the detection limits of 24 elements examined are in the range from ppt to sub-ppb levels. The proposed method was validated by using the standard reference material of a river water, SLRS-4, and the applicability was further demonstrated to the on-line collection/concentration of trace elements, such as Ag, Be, Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb, U, V, and REEs in water samples. 相似文献
The factors affecting the ultramicrodetermination of tryptophan and kynurenine were investigated by paper electrophoresis, paper chromatography and spectrophotometry. The electrolyte used in electrophoresis influences the mobility, the separation and the ultraviolet spectra of tryptophan and kynurenine. The pre-treatment of filter paper for chromatography did not influence the RF of tryptophan and kynurenine, but interfered with their quantitative determination. The effect of ultraviolet irradiation of d-, l-, and dl-tryptophan as well as d-, l-, and dl-kynurenine was studied. 相似文献
Covalent chromatography is used for studying the role of sulfhydryl groups in pig brain purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP). This enzyme has been immobilized on an insoluble polymeric reagent (thiol-Sephnrose 4B) by a thiol-disulfide interchange reaction between the disulfide groups of the gel and some of its thiol groups. The immobilized enzyme retained its activity and the coupling was reversible under reducing conditions, allowing the recovery of the enzymic activity. These results suggest that PNP contains nonessential sulfhydryl groups that can react with the thiol-Sepharose. On the other hand, inactivation with some thiol reagents shows that thiol groups directly involved in the catalytic activity are present at or near the active site. The technique described should be generally useful in the immobilization of thiol-containing proteins and in the characterization of these thiol groups. 相似文献
Manganese/ligand association dynamics were studied using a series of structurally related anionic phosphorus ester ligand probes [CH(3)OP(O)(X)(Y)(-), where X = CH(3)O, CH(3)CH(2), or H and Y = O, S, or BH(3)]. Reactions of the probe ions with Mn(H(2)O)(6)(2+) and a manganese(III) porphyrin (Mn(III)TMPyP(5+)) were studied in aqueous solution by paramagnetic (31)P NMR line-broadening techniques. A satisfactory linear free energy relationship for reactions of the probe ions with Mn(H(2)O)(6)(2+) and Mn(III)TMPyP(5+) required consideration of both the basicity and solvent affinity of the probe ligands: log(k(app)) = log(k(0)) + alpha pK(a) + beta log(K(ext)), where k(0), alpha, and beta are metal complex dependent parameters and pK(a) and K(ext) represent the measured Bronsted acidity and water/n-butanol extraction constant for the probe anions, respectively. Reactions of Mn(H(2)O)(6)(2+) were relatively insensitive to changes in ligand basicity (alpha = -0.04) and favored the more hydrophilic anions (beta = -0.54). These observations are consistent with a dissociative ligand exchange mechanism wherein the outer-sphere complex is stabilized by hydrogen bonding between Mn(H(2)O)(6)(2+) and the incoming ligand. In contrast, reactions with Mn(III)TMPyP(5+) are accelerated by decreases in both the basicity (alpha = -0.43) and the hydrophilicity (beta = +0.97) of the probe. We conclude that reactions of Mn(III)TMPyP(5+) are also dissociative but that the aromatic groups of the porphyrin provide a hydrophobic environment surrounding the ligand binding site in Mn(III)TMPyP(5+). Thus, the probe/water solvent interactions must be significantly weakened in order to form the outer-sphere complex that leads to ligand substitution. This work demonstrates the utility of phosphorus relaxation enhancement (PhoRE) techniques for characterizing the second coordination sphere environment of metal complexes leading to ligation and will allow comparison of the second coordination spheres of Mn(H(2)O)(6)(2+) and Mn(III)TMPyP(5+) to those of other metal complexes. 相似文献
A new absorbent for solid-phase extraction (SPE) was prepared by a beta-cyclodextrin bonded silica stationary phase (CDS) has been applied to determine the concentrations of phenol compounds in water samples. SPE of selected phenolic compounds from aqueous samples were performed using 250 mg CDS. The determination was subsequently carried out by gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Compared with available SPE, the CDS showed high sensitivity and fast velocity of mass transfer for phenolic compound because of its porous structure of beta-cyclodextrin. The relative standard deviation (RSD) for river water sample spiked with phenolic compounds at sub-ppb level was lower than 10% and limit of detection (LOD) for these compounds were between 10 and 100 ng l(-1). 相似文献
