Synthesis,characterization and electrocatalytic performance of a dinuclear triazenidosilver(I) complex for hydrogen production

Our group has developed a series of molecular electrocatalysts for hydrogen generation based on triazenido–metal complexes (cobalt, copper, etc.). In this paper, we first present the electrocatalytic performance of a new dinuclear silver complex, [Ag₂(L)₂], formed by the reaction of the triazenido ligand 1‐[(2‐carboxymethyl)benzene]‐3‐[(2‐methoxy)benzene]triazene (HL) with AgNO₃. At room temperature, the silver complex shows photoluminescence at 653 nm. The electrocatalytic systems based on this silver complex can afford 106.57 and 1536.36 moles of hydrogen per mole of catalyst per hour from acetic acid at an overpotential (OP) of 991.6 mV and from a neutral aqueous buffer (pH = 7.0) at an OP of 837.6 mV, respectively. Electrochemical investigations show that both silver ion and triazenido ligand play a role in determining the catalytic activities of the electrocatalytic system.

3-甲基-4-对甲基苯基-5-(2-吡啶)-1,2,4-三唑桥联的双核铜配合物的磁性理论研究

采用对称性破损态方法结合密度泛函理论,选用反铁磁双核配合物[Cu2(MMBPT)2Cl4(H2O)2.5](MMBPT=3-甲基-4-对甲基苯基-5-(2-吡啶)-1,2,4-三唑)作为研究对象,通过与实验数据相比较,探讨了不同密度泛函方法与基组对计算铜配合物交换耦合常数的准确度.结果表明,4种混合密度泛函DFT(B3LYP,B3P86,B3PW91和PBE0)的计算结果都能和实验所观察到的值-31cm-1符号一致,但只有B3PW91方法得到的结果和实验结果吻合程度最好,同时采用方法B3PW91方法计算所得的交换耦合常数Jab对基组的依赖性较大.研究表明,2个Cu(Ⅱ)离子之间弱的反铁磁相互作用主要源于单占据分子轨道SOMOs小的能量劈裂.     

A simple,rapid and reliable liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry method for determination of methotrexate in human plasma and its application to therapeutic drug monitoring

A simple, rapid and reliable liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry method was established and validated for the determination of methotrexate in human plasma. After a straightforward protein precipitation by acetonitrile–water (70:30, v/v), methotrexate (MTX) and p‐aminoacetophenone (used as internal standard, IS) were separated on a Column C₁₈ column (50 × 2.1 mm, 3 µm; Column Technology, Fremont, CA, USA) using a gradient elution with mobile phase of acetonitrile and 0.03% acetic acid aqueous solution at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. The total chromatographic runtime was 5 min for each injection. Quantification detection was performed in a triple‐quadruple tandem mass spectrometer under positive mode monitoring the following mass transitions: m/z 455.3 → 308.3 for MTX and m/z 136.1 → 94.4 for IS. The calibration curve was linear over the range of 0.05–25.0 µmol/L with a lower limit of quantification of 0.05 µmol/L. The intra‐ and interday precisions were <5.2%, the accuracy varied from ?4.1 to 4.5%. The recovery was >94%. The LC‐MS/MS method showed an excellent agreement with the existing HPLC‐UV method using Passing–Bablok regression and Bland–Altman difference plot analysis. The validated LC‐MS/MS can be successfully applied to the routine therapeutic drug monitoring of MTX in clinical laboratories. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Effect of Cu Doping on the SCR Activity of Mn‒Ce/ATP Catalyst

In this study, the Cu-doped Ce?Mn/ATP denitration catalyst was prepared by impregnation method and heterogeneous precipitation method and its denitrification performance was tested. It was found that the denitrification effect was obviously improved after Cu doping. And the denitration effect of the catalyst prepared by the heterogeneous precipitation method was better and the denitrification rate was above 98%. Under this method, n(Cu: Mn) = 1 had the best denitration effect, with a maximum of 99.76%. The prepared catalysts were characterized by means of XRD, XPS, BET, and SEM. The results showed that CuMn₂O₄ and CuO appeared in the Cu doped catalysts. Moreover, the doping of Cu enriched the pore structure and surface morphology of the catalyst, so that the catalyst showed good denitrification performance.
