Au nanoparticle micropatterns prepared from self-assembled films

A kind of hybrid multilayer film based on mercaptobenzoic acid-capped Au nanoparticles (MBA-Au-NPs) and photoreactive nitrodiazoresin (NDR) has been fabricated via electrostatic self-assembly. Upon exposure to UV light, the initial ionic bonds between the layers of the film convert into covalent bonds and the film stability toward polar solvents, salt, or surfactant solutions increases significantly. The micropatterned NDR/MBA-Au-NP film with the covalently linked architecture was formed by selecting exposure of the film through a photomask and later developed in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) aqueous solution. The metallic Au-NP micropatterns, furthermore, are produced by sintering the micropatterned NDR/MBA-Au-NP film at 550 degrees C, at which the organic components are removed completely. The well-defined micropatterns were characterized with atomic force microscopy (AFM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), microscope with a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).     

Ti基IrO2＋Ta2O5阳极在H2SO4溶液中的电解时效行为

研究了450 ℃制备所得Ti/70％IrO2 30％Ta2O5（摩尔分数）高寿命阳极在H2SO4溶液电解过程中电极的物理、化学及电化学性能的时效行为.结果发现，整个电解过程可分为“活化”、“稳定”及“失效”三个阶段.在“活化”及“稳定”区内主要发生电极表面活性氧化物的溶解，涂层中IrO2金红石相的（110）、（101）晶面择优取向随电解时间延长而减弱，而（002）晶面择优增强.但是在“失效区”内，各晶面的择优程度却不随电解时间的变化而变化，这表明在“失效区”内氧化物的损失机制发生了变化.电化学阻抗谱测试表明，电极的析氧电化学反应电阻随电解时间的延长发生缓慢而连续的上升，而整个电极的物理阻抗在“失效区”内却发生突升现象.X射线衍射分析（XRD）表明，随电解时间的延长TiO2金红石相的衍射强度增大，达“失效区”时衍射强度发生突升.根据实验现象特别是“失效区”内阳极的时效行为提出高寿命Ti基氧化物涂层阳极的失效机制.     

CO(2)-expanded solvents: unique and versatile media for performing homogeneous catalytic oxidations

The work summarized here demonstrates a new concept for exploiting dense phase CO(2), media considered to be "green" solvents, for homogeneous catalytic oxidation reactions. According to this concept, the conventional organic solvent medium used in catalytic chemical reactions is replaced substantially (up to 80 vol %) by CO(2), at moderate pressures (tens of bars), to create a continuum of CO(2)-expanded solvent media. A particular benefit is found for oxidation catalysis; the presence of CO(2) in the mixed medium increases the O(2) solubility by ca. 100 times compared to that in the neat organic solvent while the retained organic solvent serves an essential role by solubilizing the transition metal catalyst. We show that CO(2)-expanded solvents provide optimal properties for maximizing oxidation rates that are typically 1-2 orders of magnitude greater than those obtained with either the neat organic solvent or supercritical CO(2) as the reaction medium. These advantages are demonstrated with examples of homogeneous oxidations of a substituted phenol and of cyclohexene by molecular O(2) using transition metal catalysts, cobalt Schiff-base and iron porphyrin complexes, respectively, in CO(2)-expanded CH(3)CN.     

ESR Studies on a Friedel‐Crafts Alkylation Reaction in [bmim]Cl‐AlCl3 Ionic Liquid

The paramagnetic complexes formed in Friedel‐Crafts alkylation reaction systems are invistigated by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy, in room temperature ionic liquids system 1‐butyl‐3‐methyl‐limidazolium chloride‐aluminium chloride ([bmim]Cl‐AlCl₃). The results indicate that ESR spectra observed are due to polycyclic aromatic radical cations formed from their parent hydrocarbons. ESR spectrum of spin adduct is obtained in an ionic liquid system composed of [bmim]Cl‐AlCl₃. In acidic solution the ¹⁴N hyperfine coupling constant of 4‐oxo‐TEMPO, 2.15 mT, is appreciably larger due to an adduct formed with AlCl₃.     

Construction of diverse peptide structural architectures via chemoselective peptide ligation

Herein, we report the development of a facile synthetic strategy for constructing diverse peptide structural architectures via chemoselective peptide ligation. The key advancement involved is to utilize the benzofuran moiety as the peptide salicylaldehyde ester surrogate, and Dap–Ser/Lys–Ser dipeptide as the hydroxyl amino functionality, which could be successfully introduced at the side chain of peptides enabling peptide ligation. With this method, the side chain-to-side chain cyclic peptide, branched/bridged peptides, tailed cyclic peptides and multi-cyclic peptides have been designed and successfully synthesized with native peptidic linkages at the ligation sites. This strategy has provided an alternative strategic opportunity for synthetic peptide development. It also serves as an inspiration for the structural design of PPI inhibitors with new modalities.

Methods of introducing peptide salicylaldehyde esters and hydroxyl amine functionality into the peptide side chain have been developed. Diverse peptide structural motifs were constructed via ligation with native amide linkages at the ligation sites.     

A direct injection high-throughput liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method for the determination of a new orally active alphavbeta3 antagonist in human urine and dialysate

A generic high-throughput liquid chromatography (HTLC) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) assay for the determination of compound I in human urine and dialysate (hemodialysis) was developed and validated. By using the HTLC on-line extraction technique, sample pretreatment was not necessary. The sample was directly injected onto a narrow bore large particle size extraction column (50 x 1.0 mm, 60 microm) where the sample matrix was rapidly washed away using a high flow rate (5 mL/min) aqueous mobile phase while analytes were retained. The analytes were subsequently eluted from the extraction column onto an analytical column using an organic-enriched mobile phase prior to mass spectrometric detection. The analytes were then eluted from the analytical column to the mass spectrometer for the determination. The linear dynamic range was 2.0-6000 ng/mL for the urine assay and 0.1-300 ng/mL for the dialysate assay. Intraday accuracy and precision were evaluated by analyzing five replicates of calibration standards at all concentrations used to construct the standard curve. For the urine assay, the precision (RSD%, n=5) ranged from 1.9 to 8.0% and the accuracy ranged from 87.8 to 105.2% of nominal value. For the dialysate assay, the precision (RSD%, n=5) ranged from 1.1 to 10.0% and the accuracy from 94.5 to 105.2% of nominal value. In-source fragmentation of the acyl glucuronide metabolite (compound III) did not interfere with the determination of parent compound I. The developed HTLC/MS/MS methodology was specific for compound I in the presence of compound III. Column life-time is increased and sample analysis time is decreased over traditional reversed-phase methods when direct injection assays for urine and dialysate are coupled with the technology of HTLC.     

Simultaneous tailoring of surface topography and chemical structure for controlled wettability

Wettability was controlled in a rational manner by individually and simultaneously manipulating surface topography and surface chemical structure. The first stage of this research involved the adsorption of charged submicrometer polystyrene latex particles to oppositely charged poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) film samples to form surfaces with different topographies/roughness; adsorption time, solution pH, solution ionic strength, latex particle size, and substrate charge density are external variables that were controlled. The introduction of discrete functional groups to smooth and rough surfaces through organic transformations was carried out in the second stage. Amine groups (-NH(2)) and alcohol groups (-OH) were introduced onto smooth PET surfaces by amidation with poly(allylamine) and adsorption with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVOH), respectively. On latex particle adsorbed surfaces, a thin layer of gold was evaporated first to prevent particle redistribution before chemical transformation. Reactions with functionalized thiols and adsorption with PVOH on patterned gold surfaces successfully enhanced surface hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity. Particle size and biomodal particle size distribution affect both hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity. A very hydrophobic surface exhibiting water contact angles of 150 degrees /126 degrees (theta(A)/theta(R)) prepared by adsorption of 1-octadecanethiol and a hydrophilic surface with water contact angles of 18 degrees /8 degrees (theta(A)/theta(R)) prepared by adsorption of PVOH were prepared on gold-coated surfaces containing both 0.35 and 0.1 microm latex particles. The combination of surface topography and surface-chemical functionality permits wettability control over a wide range.     

Pyrimido[5,4-b]quinolines. II. Reactions at the heterocyclic ring-carbon and nitrogen atoms

10-Chloro-7,8-dimethylpyrimido[5,4-b]quinolin-2,4(1H,3H)dione (I) was unreactive toward ammonia but it reacted with 2 molecules of n-butylamine, presumably via Dimroth-type ring-opening and closure, to give the N₃-butyl, N₁₀-butylamino derivative (IV). In similar reactions of 10-chloro-2,4-dimethoxy-7,8-dimethylpyrimido[5,4-b]quinoline (II) only the 4-meth-oxyl was displaced by either ammonia or n-butylamine. Alkyllithium reagents also displaced the 4-methoxyl as well as added to the 3,4 double bond of II to yield the corresponding gem-dialkyl substituted (C₄) derivatives; the C₁₀ chlorine remained unreactive. 2,4-Dimethoxy-7,8-di-methylpyrimido[5,4-b]quinoline-10-one (III) could be alkylated only in the form of the thallium salt. Treatment of the benzyl derivative of III with methylmagnesium bromide led only to the displacement of the 4-methoxyl by a methyl group.
