Studies on Micellization of a Polystyrene-b-poly(acrylic acid) Copolymer in Aqueous Media by Pyrene Fluorescence

The aggregation of amphiphilic block copolymers is a crucial phenomenon that controls various applications, and has been extensively treated in the literature1-3. Pyrene is a widely used fluorescence probe for the relative intensities of the vibrational fine structure (five bands) of its fluorescence spectra have been found to be sensitive to the polarity of its environment, the so-called Ham effect4. We report the studies of the aggregation properties of a PS-b-PAA copolymer using pyrene …     

Study on the Synthesis of Metabolite CM2 of Clausenamide

Synthesis of the optically active metabolite of clausenamide cm2(3,5-dihydroxy-5-(α-hydroxylbenzyl)-1-methyl-4-benzylpyrrolidin-2-one)from 3-O-acetyl-clausenamide was described.     

Enhancement of Photocurrent Generation of a Novel Stilbazolium Dye Dimer in LB Monolayer Films

A novel dye dimer,bis-{[1-(N-hexadecyl-4-pyridinium)-2-(4-N,N-dimethylaminopheyl)] ethenyl} methane diiodide (C16BP) was synthesized,and the photoelectrochemistry of the dye Langmuir-Blodgett monolayer modified ITO electrode was investigated.For comparison,the photoelectrochemistry of the monomer (E)-N-hexadexyl-4-[2-(4-N,N-dimethylaminophenyl) ethenyl] pyridinium iodide (C16P) was also measured.The results show that the photocurrent generation property of the dimer is enhanced.The photocurrent generation quantum yield is 0.38% for C16BP,while that for C16P is 0.23%.     

Effect of Cationic Surfactant on the Inhibition of Ligninase by Hydrogen Peroxide

The inhibition of lingninase by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of cationic surfactant CTAB was studied by kinetic speetrophotometdc technique. Results showed that addition of CTAB enhanced the inhibition by H202, but it did not alter the inhibition pattern and the inhibition constant changed little with theco-ncentration of CTAB. Modification of the enzymic protein by the surfactant monomer may be responsible for the above mentioned results.     

Charge-discharge Behavior of Surface-coated LiMn2O3.95F0.05 Cathode Materials at High Temperature

With inorganic salts such as LiNO3, Li2CO3, surface-coated LiMn2O3.95F0.05 were prepared by melt-impregnation method. When these surface-coated LiMn2O3.95F0.05 were used as cathode materials, their charge-discharge characters were carefully compared. As a result, they exhibited good charge-discharge properties at 50℃ high temperature. Especially, LiNO3 surface-coated LiMn2O3.9F50.05 retained nearly 80% initial reversible capacity after 130 cycles at 50℃.     

Comparison of(η~6-Fluoroarene)tricarbonylchromium Complexes with Their Chloro-analogs in Radical Aromatic Substitutions

Reactions of fluoroarene-Cr(CO)_3 complexes with SmI_2 andcarbonyl compounds in THF/HMPA at-40— -60℃ affordedthe corresponding radical aromatic substitution products in highyield. Compared to the corresponding chloroarene-Cr.(CO)_3complexes, fluoroarene-Cr(CO)_3 complexes showed a higher ef-ficiency and slightly lower regioselectivity.     

Enhancive Synthesis of(±)-1β,11-Diol-4-en-eudesmol

An enhancive synthesis of (±)-1β, 11-diol-4-en-eudesmol,starting from 2-chloroacrylonitrile, is described. The effect oftemperature on the Diels-Alder reaction of 2-chloroacrylonitrilewith 2-methylfuran and the condition of cationic cyclization ofdiene were discussed in detail.

Theoretical prediction on vibrational spectra of [Ar…Ar-H]~+

As a special substance between isolated molecules and condensed phase, clusters have drawn more and more attention by theoreticians and experimentalists. The protonated rare gas cluster is one kind of simplest clusters, which can be looked on as the simplest solution composed of the simplest solute, proton, and the simplest solvent, rare gas. The study on such a system can help us to know more about the complex condensed matter. However, the information for the molecular properties of protonat…     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of cis-Bis(3-hydroxy2-ethyl-4-pyranonato)dioxomolybdenum(Ⅵ)

1 INTRODUCTION 3-Hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyranone (maltol) and 3-hydroxy-2-ethyl-4-pyranone (ethylmaltol) are nontoxic compounds that have been applied to bio- inorganic chemistry over several decades[1, 2]. Their iron(III) complexes are relevant to the control of iron levels in the human body. Such complexes have been assessed for the amelioration of anaemia[3] and their respective ligands have been tested for the removal of excess burdens of iron in diseases such as siderosis, haemochroma…
