Production of high-quality agarwood in Aquilaria sinensis trees via whole-tree agarwood-induction technology

We used whole-tree agarwood-induction technology to produce agarwood from Aquilaria sinensis trees within 20 months,and evaluated the quality of this agarwood.The results showed its characteristics were similar to those of high-grade wild agarwood in terms of texture,chemical constituents,essential oil content,and ethanol-soluble extract content,with the lattermost quality far surpassing the requirement of traditional Chinese medicine agarwood,as indicated in Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2010.To the best of our knowledge,this is first study to show that high-quality agarwood can be produced in whole A.sinensis trees via a chemically induced technology.     

Minor antifungal aromatic glycosides from the roots of Gentiana rigescens （Gentianaceae）

Two new phenolic glycosides,2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid methyl ester 3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-6)-β-D-glucopyranoside(1) and 2,5-dihydroxylbenzofuran 5-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1-6)-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(2),were isolated as the minor chemical constituents from the roots of Gentiana rigescens,along with 15 known compounds.Their structures were elucidated by detailed spectroscopic analysis,including 1D,2D NMR and chemical method.All of these compounds were isolated for the first time from the title plant.Moreove...

应用ICP—MS测定KCl肥料中重金属元素含量

肥料是重金属的重要污染源之一,重金属可以通过作物直接进入人类食物链对人体产生危害,研究肥料中重金属含量对于农产品安全溯源意义重大。文章选用北京市场上销售的进口KCl肥料作为实验材料,全面分析了其中的10种重金属元素含量,分别为,Cr0.00,Ni65.54,Cu238.85,As190.60,Cd0.98,Sn14.98,Sb2.97,Hg10.04,Tl1.28,Pb97.42ng·g-1。上述结果表明,KCl肥料中重金属含量普遍比较低,特别是Cr没有检测到,其余四中主要重金属(As,Cd,Hg,Pb)的含量除了As(190.60ng·g-1)以外,也都在100ng·g-1以下,不会对土壤环境造成重大污染,含量最高的重金属是Cu,为238.85ng·g-1。由此看来,KCl肥料与磷肥相比重金属含量较低,对农产品是相对安全的。     

Enantioselective Total Synthesis of the （＋） Antipode of Zeylenone

Starting from shikimic acid, the total synthesis of zeylenone was studied. The product was proved to be the ( )antipode of zeylenone through analysis and comparison of their respective spectra (including NMR, MS, IR and CD) and optical data. The absolute configuration of the natural product was thus determined to be (1 S,2S,3R).     

Reversing intrachannel ghost-pulse generation by midspan self-phase modulation

Intrachannel pulse interactions are the dominating nonlinear effects in modern transmission systems with high modulation speeds. Scaled symmetries have proved to be effective in suppressing amplitude and timing jitter of mark pulses due to nonlinearity but not for ghost-pulse generation into the empty slots. A method of using midspan self-phase modulation to reverse the generation of ghost pulses due to intrachannel four-wave mixing is proposed. Computer simulations demonstrate significant improvement of signal quality by a combination of scaled symmetries and midspan self-phase modulation.     

Computer modelling of defects and dopants in mixed metal fluorides

This paper describes a computer modelling study of rare earth doping in the mixed metal fluorides LiCaAlF 6 , LiSrAlF 6 and LiYF 4 . All these materials have potential technological applications, providing the motivation to improve understanding of their defect chemistry; in particular the energetics of doping and the sites occupied by dopant ions. Computer modelling is used to calculate the effect of rare earth dopant concentration on the structure of LiYF 4 , and to predict the sites occupied by rare earth dopants and the corresponding form of charge compensation, in LiCaAlF 6 and LiSrAlF 6 .

A novel approach to functionalised pyridazinone arrays

A series of 3,6-dichloro-1H-pyridazin-4-ones have been prepared via the cycloaddition of 3,6-dichlorotetrazine with alkynylboronates, and their employment as useful synthetic intermediates was highlighted through a selection of highly regioselective C-O, C-S and C-C bond forming reactions.     

Adsorption of methanol on zeolites X and Y. An atomistic and quantum chemical study

The adsorption of methanol on basic zeolites X and Y was investigated with both atomistic and quantum chemical methods. The Monte Carlo docking method was used to localize preferred adsorption sites within the framework. Sites were found adjacent to the interstitial alkali cations in the sites SI, SII, and SIII. We investigated the influence on adsorption behavior of all possible interstitial alkali metal cations, i.e., Li(+), Na(+), K(+), Rb(+), and Cs(+), and in the case of site SII also the influence of varying the Si/Al ratio and distribution. Clusters were cut from the periodic framework in a way that the topological character of the different sites was preserved. DFT calculations yielded geometries and energetic data, which are analyzed with respect to the nature of the cation and to the Si/Al ratio. Adsorption of the methanol molecule is influenced mainly by the identity of the alkali metal cation. Other factors, including Si/Al ratio, are of secondary importance, though there is evidence of weak hydrogen bonding between methanol hydrogen and framework. Cation positions are displaced only slightly by interaction with methanol, although somewhat more at the SIII sites than the SII. We propose that the SIII sites may be a more likely location for methanol activation, particularly in the reaction with toluene, which favors the SII site.
