Synthesis of a magnetic micro/nano Fe x O y -CeO2 composite and its application for degradation of hexachlorobenzene

A micrometer-sized nanostructured, magnetic, ball-like Fe _x O _y -CeO₂ composite was synthesized through an ethylene-glycol mediated process. The synthesized samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy combined with energydisperse X-ray analysis, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray powder diffraction. In the synthesis system, polyethylene glycol (PEG) and urea were found to play significant roles in the formation of the micrometer-sized spherical architecture of the precursor. The details of morphology and particle size could be changed with the initial concentration of Fe(NO₃)₃·9H₂O and Ce(NO₃)₃·6H₂O as the reactants. The magnetic Fe _x O _y -CeO₂ composite with a similar morphology was readily obtained by calcination from the precursor. The characterization of transmission electron microscopy showed the calcined ball-like architecture was a highly porous structure consisting of many nanoparticles. Because of the micrometer-sized nanostructure and the multi-components as well as the magnetism, the as-obtained Fe _x O _y -CeO₂ composite showed better activity and potentially easy recovery for the harmless degradation of hexachlorobenzene (HCB).

Two New Meroterpenes from the Mangrove Endophytic Fungus Aspergillus sp. 085241B

Two new meroterpenes, ‘acetoxydehydroaustin B’ ( 1 ) and ‘1,2‐dihydro‐acetoxydehydroaustin B’ ( 2 ) were isolated in the form of a mixed crystal from the mangrove endophytic fungus Aspergillus sp. 085241B. Their structures and absolute configurations were determined by extensive analysis of their spectra and X‐ray diffraction data. In a preliminary bioassay, the mixed crystal did not exhibit activities against cancer cell lines of MDA‐MB‐435, SKBR3, HepG2, HEP3B, PC‐3, and A549, as well as against α‐glucosidase and tyrosinase.

Novel Lanthanide Complexes of Ciprofloxacin: Synthesis,Characterization, Crystal Structure and in vitro Antibacterial Activity Studies

Novel lanthanide coordination compounds with ciprofloxacin (CPFX), including eleven complexes Ln(CPFX)₂Cl(H₂O), (Ln=Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb; n = 7, 8, 9) and crystalline [Ce(CPFX)₂ (H₂O)₄] Cl (H₂O)_3.25 (C₂H₅‐OH)_0.25, were synthesized. The crystal is of triclinic space group Pi with a= 1.3865(2) nm, b = 1.3899(3) nm, c = 1.6505(2) nm, a = 92.73(1)°, β= 114.39(1)°, γ=115.55 (1)°, Z = 2 and R = 0.0449. FT‐IR, electronic spectroscopy and X‐ray diffraction were employed to show that the lanthanide ion, which displays an eight‐coordinate structure, is chelated by 3‐carboxyl and 4‐keto oxygen donors of CPFX and two six‐membered chelate rings are formed. Test of in vitro antibacterial activity against E. coli, P. aeruginosa and S. aureus indicated that the in vitro antibacterial activity of the ligand can be improved by complexation with Ce(III).     

Contribution of Solvation Energy in Protein‐Peptide Recognition Systems

The contribution of solvation energy to guiding molecular recognition for six rigid protein‐peptide systems bad been evaluated by the variation in the number of the identified native‐like configurations and in the driving force of specific interaction resulting from the addition of the explicit solvation term in the force field function. The AMBER force field energy and the total energy including the force field energy and the WZS solvation energy were calculated for sampled configurations. The results obtained by the calculations of both force field and total energies were compared with each other. It suggests that the contribution of solvation energy is important to guiding the specific recognition of the systems in which the ligands possess larger hydrophobic or aromatic residues while the protein receptors provide the active surfaces with hydrophobic property.

Fe48Co52 Alloy Nanowire Arrays： Effects of Magnetic Field Annealing

The effects of magnetic field annealing on the properties of Fe48Co52 alloy nanowire arrays with various interwire distances （Di=30-60 nm） and wire diameters （Dw=22-46 nm） were investigated in detail. It was found that the array＇s best annealing temperature and crys- talline structure did not show any apparent dependence on the treatment of applying a 3 kOe magnetic field along the wire during the annealing process. For arrays with small Dw or with large Di, the treatment of magnetic field annealing also had no obvious influence on their magnetic performances. However, such a magnetic field annealing constrained the shift of the easy magnetization direction and improved the coercivity and the squareness obviously for arrays with large Dw or with small Di. The difference in the intensity of the effective anisotropic field within the arrays was believed to be responsible for this different variation of the array＇s magnetic properties after magnetic field annealing.     

Luminescent Property of a Supramolecular Silver(I)‐Thiolate Complex Based on Secondary Ag‐S Interactions and Hydrogen Bonds

The supramolecular silver(I)‐thiolate complex [Ag(μ₂‐SC₄N₂H₄)₂(SCN)]_n has been prepared from the reaction of AgSCN and pyrimidine‐2‐thiol in DMF. X‐ray diffraction analysis shows that the supramolecular structure exhibits one‐dimensional chain through the secondary Ag‐S interactions and the chains are further linked by strong hydrogen bonds to form a three dimensional network. The luminescence effect from the silver‐centered state of S→Ag LMCT in solid state is different from that in solution due to the secondary Ag‐S interactions.
