Fluorescence quenching study on the interaction of bases of nucleic acid with electron-accepting sensitizer and serum albumin containing electron-rich tryptophan residue

Static and dynamic fluorescence quenchings of electron-accepting sensitizers including positive charged heterocyclics and neutral cyanoaromatics by bases of nucleic acid (NB) have been investigated. It was found that NB could act as effective electron donors to quench the fluorescence of electron-accepting sensitizers. The quenchings by diffusion-controlled rate coincide well with the static and dynamic Stern-Volmer correlation. On the other hand, the diffusion-controlled fluorescence quenchings of the tryptophan (TRP) residue in the protein enzymes, HSA and BSA, by electron-accepting NB reveal that photochemical dual-damage of protein enzyme and thymine (THM) occur upon u.v.-irradiation, which is characteristic of excitation wavelength-dependence. Therefore, the results illustrate that the lesion interactions of NB with electron-deficient sensitizers or electron-rich TRP fluorophore-containing protein enzymes originate mainly from PET-initiated processes in both cases.     

4‐[2‐(4‐Methoxyphenyl)ethenyl]‐N‐methylpyridinium tetraphenylborate

In the cation of the title compound, C₁₅H₁₆NO⁺·C₂₄H₂₀B^?, the pyridyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 14.03° with the phenyl ring. The anion has a slightly distorted tetrahedral geometry and forms honeycomb‐like sheets which extend along the b axis, forming channels containing the cations. A comparison of packing energies reveals a difference between the title compound and a similar material which has non‐linear optical properties.     

Structure and morphology controllable synthesis of Ag/carbon hybrid with ionic liquid as soft-template and their catalytic properties

Ag/carbon hybrids were fabricated by the redox of glucose and silver nitrate (AgNO₃) in the presence of imidazolium ionic liquid ([C₁₄mim]BF₄) under hydrothermal condition. Monodisperse carbon hollow sub-microspheres encapsulating Ag nanoparticles and Ag/carbon cables were selectively prepared by varying the concentration of ionic liquid. Other reaction parameters, such as reaction temperature, reaction time and the mole ratio of silver nitrate to glucose, play important roles in controlling the structures of the products. The products were characterized by XRD, TEM (HRTEM), SEM, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), FTIR spectroscopy and a Raman spectrometer. The possible formation mechanism was proposed. The catalytic property of the hybrid in the oxidation of 1-butanol by H₂O₂ was also investigated.     

Synthesis of a new water-soluble oligo(phenylenevinylene) containing a tyrosine moiety for tyrosinase activity detection

A new water-soluble oligo(phenylenevinylene) containing a tyrosine unit (OPV-Tyr) was synthesized as a fluorescent probe to optically detect tyrosinase activity. Upon the addition of tyrosinase, the tyrosine moiety was oxidized to quinone, which quenched the fluorescence of OPV-Tyr via intramolecular electron transfer from the phenylenevinylene unit to the quinone site. OPV-Tyr was elaborated to detect tyrosinase activity both in aqueous buffer solution and in agarose gel.     

Stabilities,electronic properties of exohedral fluorine and trifluoromethyl derivatives for Td C28 fullerene C28F4–n(CF3)n (n = 0,1,2,3,4)

ABSTRACT: Stability and electronic property calculations are performed systematically based on density functional theory at the B3LYP/6‐31G(d) level for T_d C₂₈ fullerene and exohedral fluorine and trifluoromethyl derivatives C₂₈F_4–n(CF₃)_n (n = 0,1,2,3,4). All the exohedral derivatives that are on the potential energy surfaces are kinetically stable with large HOMO‐LUMO gaps. Further investigations show that binding energies of C₂₈F_4–n(CF₃)_n (n = 0,1,2,3,4) molecules are positive, suggesting they are thermodynamically stable. An analysis of the π‐orbital axis vector indicates the high strain in T_d C₂₈ cage could be greatly released by fluorine and trifluoromethyl decorations. Mulliken charge analysis reveals that adding different electron groups to the T_d C₂₈ cage can cause remarkably different charge populations. In addition, from the ionization potential and electron affinity investigations, the C₂₈F_4–n(CF₃)_n (n = 0,1,2,3,4) molecules manifest weak redox properties. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Preparation and adsorption property of novel inverse-opal hierarchical porous N-doped carbon microspheres

The design of pore structure is the key factor for the performance of porous carbon spheres.In this wo rk,novel micron-sized colloidal crystal microspheres consisting of fibrous silica(F-SiO_2) nanoparticles are firstly prepared by water-evapo ration-induced self-assembly of F-SiO_2 nanoparticles in the droplets of an inverse emulsion system to be used as sacrificial templates.Acrylonitrile(AN) was infiltrated in the voids of the F-SiO_2 colloidal crystal microspheres,and in-situ induced by ~(60)Co y-ray to polymerize into polyacrylonitrile(PAN).After the PAN-infiltrated F-SiO_2 colloidal crystal microspheres were carbonized and etched with HF solution,novel micron-sized inverse-opal N-doped carbon(IO-NC) microspheres consisting of hollow carbon nanoparticles with a hierarchical macro/meso-porous inner surface were obtained.The IO-NC microspheres have a specific surface area as high as 266.4 m~2/g and a molar ratio of C/N of 5.They have a good dispersibility in water,and show a high adsorption capacity towards rhodamine B(RhB) up to 137.28 mg/(g microsphe re).This work offers a way to obtain novel micron-sized hierarchical macro/meso-porous N-doped carbon microspheres,which opens a new idea to prepare high-performance hierarchical porous carbon materials.

Solid-state electrochemiluminescence of a novel iridium(Ⅲ) complex

The sofid-state ECL behavior of a water-insoluble bis-cyclometalated (pq)2Ir(N-phMA) complex is presented, in which pq is a 2-phenylquinoline anion and N-phMA is N-phenyl methacrylamide, a monoanionic bidentate ligand. The MWNTs/(pq)2Ir(N-phMA) film, MWNTs/Ru(bpy)32+ film and (pq)2Ir(N-phMA) directly modified glassy carbon electrode were fabricated; only the MWNTs/(pq)2Ir(N-phMA) film can produce steady ECL in the presence of tri-n-propylamine as a coreactant.
