n‐Dodecyltriethoxysilane (DTEOS) modified NaHSO4/MCM‐41 catalysts (silanized catalysts) were synthesized by different impregnation sequences and evaluated in the liquid‐phase dehydration of castor oil. The samples were evaluated by X‐ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption‐desorption, SEM, TEM, FT‐IR spectroscopy, XPS, 29Si MAS NMR spectroscopy, contact angle measurements, NH3‐TPD, and pyridine‐FT‐IR spectroscopy. The analyses demonstrated that silanization enhanced the hydrophobicity of the catalysts, and the impregnation sequence of silanized catalysts had a significant effect on the NaHSO4 dispersion, surface area, acid distribution, and hydrophobicity of the silanized catalysts. The catalytic activity of the silanized catalysts was much higher than that of NaHSO4/MCM‐41. Among the silanized catalysts, the catalyst prepared by simultaneous impregnation with DTEOS and NaHSO4 showed the highest iodine value of 141.8 [g(I2) per 100 g] and lowest hydroxyl value of 11.3 [mg(KOH) · g–1]. 相似文献
A novel catalyst-free Csp3-H aryloxylation approach allowing for rapid installation of a wide range of aryloxyl groups regioselectively at the C-4 position of Tanshinone IIA under simple and mild conditions was developed. This unique protocol exhibited atom-/step-economy, low cost, high efficiency and robust functional-group tolerance, which will greatly facilitate to diversify the A-ring of the bioactive natural product. 相似文献
A germanium(II)‐guanidine derivative of formula Ge{iPrNC[N(SiMe3)2]NiPr}2 ( 1 ) was synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, elemental analysis, and X‐ray diffraction method. Thermal property was also studied to identify its thermal stability and volatility. More importantly, compound 1 was synthesized to develop a new method for germanium tellurides, where anhydrous hydrazine was introduced to prompt the activity of germanium(II) guanidines (or derivatives) towards (Et3Si)2Te. Solution reaction of compound 1 , (Et3Si)2Te, and anhydrous hydrazine was investigated to pre‐identify the feasibility of this combination for ALD process. The EDS data of the black precipitate from this reaction verified the potential of this method to manufacture germanium tellurides. 相似文献
A family of perovskite light absorbers (NH4)3Sb2IxBr9−x (0≤x≤9) was prepared. These materials show good solubility in ethanol, a low-cost, hypotoxic, and environmentally friendly solvent. The light absorption of (NH4)3Sb2IxBr9−x films can be tuned by adjusting I and Br content. The absorption onset for (NH4)3Sb2IxBr9−x films changes from 558 nm to 453 nm as x changes from 9 to 0. (NH4)3Sb2I9 single crystals were prepared, exhibiting a hole mobility of 4.8 cm2 V−1 s−1 and an electron mobility of 12.3 cm2 V−1 s−1. (NH4)3Sb2I9 solar cells gave an open-circuit voltage of 1.03 V and a power conversion efficiency of 0.51 %. 相似文献
Platinum–nickel nanoparticles were synthesized by a reduction procedure. The Pt–Ni/C composite was characterized by X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and electrochemical analysis. The measurements show that the Pt–Ni/multiwalled carbon nanotubes provided higher electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of uric acid than Pt–Ni/carbon black. The sensor prepared from the characterized material provided a long linear dynamic range from 0.1 to 240.4?µM with a detection limit of 0.03?µM and a sensitivity of 41.21?µA?mM?1?cm?2. The reported modified electrode also provided excellent selectivity, good stability, and satisfactory reproducibility for the determination of uric acid. 相似文献
More than 60% commonly used pharmaceutical active ingredients are chiral compounds. Developing more effective and safe chiral compounds has become a focus in the pharmaceutical industry. Chiral compounds widely exist in traditional Chinese medicine and include alkaloids, flavonoids, volatile oils, and amino acids. The characterization of chiral compounds used in traditional Chinese medicine remains limited. Here, the characterization of chiral compounds commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine is reviewed focusing upon their separation and pharmacology. 相似文献
The authors describe a method for DNA target recognition and signal amplification that is based on the target-induced formation of a three way junction. The subsequent assembly of two DNA probes releases the inhibitory strand and triggers a downstream strand displacement amplification. This causes the formation of a G-rich single sequence that binds to a hemin monomer with its peroxidase-mimicking properties. The resulting peroxidase (POx) activity is quantified by using H2O2 and TMB as the substrate. In the presence of an inhibitor, in contrast, the POx-like activity is strongly reduced. This forms the basis for a highly sensitive DNA assay. It has a 0.8 pM detection limit when operated at a wavelength of 450 nm and was applied to the isothermal determination of target DNA with high selectivity.
Graphical abstract Schematic of the assay: Introduction of target results in the formation of a three way junction. The subsequent assembly of two probes releases the inhibitory strand and triggers a downstream strand displacement amplification, generating amount of G-rich single sequence which causes peroxidase-mimicking activity on binding to a hemin monomer.
Acid–base and coordination properties of alkyl and aryl meso-substituted porphyrins are studied spectrophotometrically in nonaqueous solutions. It is found that the nature of the substituent greatly affects the basicity of ligands for porphyrins characterized by a flat structure of macrocycle. The electronic effects of substituents have a much weaker influence on the kinetics of complexing. These effects could be due to the opposite orientation of some factors: an increase in the basicity and stability of the N–H bonds of porphyrin reaction centers. Dissociation constants pKb of the cationic forms of meso-substituted derivatives of porphyrin are measured. The values of pKb are in good agreement with classic concepts of the nature of substituents, particularly those indirectly included in the macrocycle through phenyl buffer rings. 相似文献
A series of host-guest interaction-adjusted polylactide stereocomplex micelles was prepared via the self-assembly of 4-armed poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(L-lactide/D-lactide)-cholesterol (4-armed PEG-b-PLLA/PDLA-CHOL) and poly(β-cyclodextrin) (PCD) with the molar ratios of CHOL/β-CD at 1:0.5, 1:1, and 1:2 in an aqueous environment. The hydrodynamic diameters of the micelles ranged from 84.1 nm to 107 nm depending on the molar ratio of CHOL/β-CD. It was shown that the micelle with the largest proportion of PCD possessed excellent abilities in drug release, cell internalization as well as proliferation inhibitory effect toward human A549 lung cancer cells. The results demonstrated that the stereocomplex and host-guest interactions-mediated PLA micelles exhibited great potential in sustained drug delivery. 相似文献
