Oxidation of isobutane over hydrothermally synthesized Mo-V-Te-Nb-O mixed oxide catalysts

MoV_0.3Te_0.17 and MoV_0.3Te_0.17Nb_0.12 catalysts were prepared by a hydrothermal synthesis route and tested for the oxidation of isobutane and isobutene. Characterization results showed that the structure and property of Mo-V-Te-based catalysts are relatively different depending on the presence of the Nb element. Catalytic tests showed that the selectivity of methacrolein can comparatively be improved by the addition of Nb into the MoV_0.3Te_0.17 catalyst for the selective oxidation of isobutane.     

A direct approach to Bergman kernel asymptotics for positive line bundles

We give an elementary proof of the existence of an asymptotic expansion in powers of k of the Bergman kernel associated to L ^k , where L is a positive line bundle over a compact complex manifold. We also give an algorithm for computing the coefficients in the expansion.     

Instantaneous phase shifting arrangement for microsurface profiling of flat surfaces

Phase shifting interferometry is a well-established technique for non-contact surface profile measurement. Though phase shifting technique has many advantages, it is marred by a few inaccuracies due to the vibration and mechanical movement of the phase shifter itself. Significant amount of work is reported to theoretically compensate these error sources. But for a few works, prominent achievements have not been reported in eliminating these error sources in phase shifting interferometry. In this paper, a novel optical layout, in combination with instantaneous phase shifting interferometry is described. Experiments were carried out with this setup on a super mirror with a λ/20 surface roughness, to demonstrate the validity of the principle.     

以学生为主体的混合式个性化教学模式在分析化学课程中的探索与思考

In order to solve the issues of traditional teaching methods in the undergraduate basic theory course, the blended learning mode was put forward by taking analytical chemistry as an example. With concept of student-centered, personalized teaching, together with assistant means, was introduced to achieve the breakthrough in solving the problems. We hope to reinforce the adaptability and targeting of the course teaching.

On the relative stability of cobalt‐ and nickel‐based amidinate complexes against β‐migration

We present a first‐principles study on the relative stability of cobalt‐ and nickel‐based amidinate complexes against β‐migration using density functional theory. Factors that influence the reactivity of these compounds were carefully addressed and the calculated molecular structures are in excellent agreement with the available crystal structural data. Reaction energies as well as activation barriers of β‐migration were evaluated. The predicted relative stability of the selected compounds is consistent with experimental observations. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2009

Discrimination of cyclic peptide diastereomers by electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry

In this research, the characteristic ions' abundance ratio between two isomers A and B in MS/MS mass spectra was defined as a parameter for discriminating diastereomers. Through this ratio, the discrimination of four pairs of cyclic peptide (CP) diastereomers was successfully achieved. Furthermore, in the analysis of diastereomers' mixtures, both calibration curve and calculational methods were substantiated to have high precision and accuracy. The average absolute errors of the two methods were 2.0 and 2.5% in the 48 measurements of 16 samples, respectively. This research provided a promising approach for the analysis of the CP diastereomers in the fields of asymmetrical synthesis, chiral natural products and structural biology by ESI‐MS/MS.

Sulfide ion transfer from a vicinal dithiolate. A new route for the synthesis of mesocyclic trithiaethers

Four mesocyclic and one macrocyclic trithiaethers have been synthesized using a sulfide ion transfer from a vicinal dithiolate. The mechanism of the sulfide ion transfer is discussed. An improved method for synthesizing 2-hydroxymethyl-1,4,8,11-tetrathiacyclotetradecane is also reported.
