Preparation and characterization of C16 monolithic columns for capillary electrochromatography

A series of methacrylamide-based C16 monolithic columns were prepared and characterized to determine how their porous structural properties and chromatographic behavior are affected by the percentages of functional monomer, base monomer, and cross-linker in the polymerization solution. Baseline separation of 6 neutral compounds can be readily obtained in an optimized column. Furthermore, the effects of organic additive in the mobile phase, operating voltages, and temperature on retention behaviors and separation efficiencies were also studied. The separation mechanism is also discussed. High column efficiency and good reproducibility indicate that the monolithic columns hold considerable promise.     

Characterization of low molecular weight components of [(ViMe2SiO1/2)x(PhSiO3/2)y(SiO4/2)z], [(ViMe2SiO1/2)x(SiO4/2)y], and [(SiO4/2)x(HO1/2)y(tBuO1/2)z] silsesquioxanes by electrospray ionization fourier transform mass spectrometry (ESI-FTMS)

This paper describes the characterization of low molecular weight components of four materials using electrospray ionization Fourier transform mass spectrometry (ESI-FTMS). The materials in the current study are [(ViMe₂SiO_1/2)_x(PhSiO_3/2)_y(SiO_4/2)_z] (MTQ), [(ViMe₂SiO_1/2)_x(SiO_4/2)_y] (MQ), and [(SiO_4/2)_x(HO_1/2)_y(^tBuO_1/2)_z] (Q) silsesquioxanes. Accurate mass measurements coupled with knowledge of resin chemistry afforded siloxane composition determination that was used to propose specific structures for the oligomers. Branched or linear (T_nQ_mM_n+2m+2), and monocyclic (T_nQ_mM_n+2m) structures are predominant structures for the low molecular weight species in MTQ. For MQ and Q, more condensed structures, such as partially opened cage structures (Q_mM_2m?6 and Q_mM_2m?8), were identified. The differences between MQ, Q, and MTQ are likely attributed to differences in intrinsic structure and reactivity of T and Q building blocks. The structural information obtained for these oligomeric species will ultimately provide a better understanding of new resin materials and their associated physical properties.

Circularly Polarized Absorption Property of Tetra-4[4''''-(2-methylbutoxy)benzoyloxy]phenyl Porphyrin by Introducing Optical Pendant Groups

Circularly polarized luminescent(CPL) materials possess special dissymmetric optical property, i.e. luminescent light having different intensities for left (L) and right(R) circularly polarized components. Recently, these materials have been applied in colour-image projection, stereoscopic displays and light-emitting diodes(LEDS)1-7. We have synthesized a new porphyrin derivative, tetra-4[4'-(2-methylbutoxy)benzoyloxy] phenyl porphyrin [T(MBBP)P], by introducing a chiral group, which p…     

CO laser stabilization using the optogalvanic Lamb-dip

Frequency stabilization of the CO laser using a CO lamb-dip is achieved in the range from 5.0–6.3 m. The CO saturation signal is obtained from a low-pressure discharge in absorption and is detected using optogalvanic, detection. The frequency stability and reproducibility has been verified to be better than 100 kHz; this is an improvement of more than one order of magnitude compared with locking techniques using CO laser gain profiles.Alexander von Humboldt Awardee from National Bureau of Standards, Boulder, Colorado, USA     

Analysis of the 3-dimensional electron distribution in silicon using directional Compton profile measurements

A method of reconstructing the electron momentum density (p), and its Fourier transform,B(t), from a series of directional Compton profiles is described. It is based on a double Fourier inversion technique and an expansion in lattice harmonic functions. The effect of random errors has been analysed, and the implications for the data collection discussed. We have used the reconstruction technique to obtain (p) andB(t) for silicon from six directional Compton profiles measured with 412 KeV gamma-radiation. The experimental result is in good agreement with earlier measurements and with available solid state theories. A recent Wannier function calculation for silicon using orthogonalised bond orbitals provides a useful tool for identifying the physical origins of the observed anisotropies. A comparison between the information presented in position and momentum space shows that the ease of interpretation depends upon the degree to which the various interactions give rise to localised features in each representation.
