A Novel Green Preparation of a, a''''-Bis (substituted benzylidene)-cycloalkanones Promoted by FeCl_3 6H-2O in Ionic Liquid

a, a'-Bis(substituted benzylidene)cycloalkanones were efficiently prepared from cycloalkanones and benzaldehydes in [bmim][BF4] by using iron(III) chloride hexahydrate as a catalyst. It is shown that [bmim][BF4] and iron(III) chloride hexahydrate can be quantitatively recovered and be reused effectively for many times. Compared with the known methods, this novel process has the advantage of being an envkonmentally benign process together with good yields and mild reaction conditions.     

Ring-opening Polymerization of e-Caprolactone Using Lanthanide Tris(4-tert-butylphenolate)s as a Single-component Initiator

The ring-opening polymerization of e-caprolactone (CL) initiated by novel single lanthanide tris(4-tert-butylphenolate)s [Ln(OTBP)3] is reported. Single-component La(OTBP)3 can effectively prepare polycaprolactone (PCL) with over 90% yield and viscosity average molecular weight about 60 x 10 under quite mild conditions: molar ratio of CL to initiator is 1000, 60 C, 2 h in toluene. Mechanism study indicates that the monomer inserts into the growing chain via the break of acyl-oxygen bond of CL.     

Coating Carbon Nanotubes with Europium Oxide

Carbon nanotubes (CNTS) coating with europium oxide by a simple method is reported in this letter for the first time. The CNTS were refluxed in a solution of nitric acid containing europium nitrate, and the pH value was subsequently ajusted with ammonia solution. At last, the mixture was filtered and annealed. The TEM micrograph showed that the CNTS were covered with a uniform thin layer with thickness of about 15 nm. The XRD results revealed that the CNTS were coated with europium oxide.     

Size Dependence of Electronic Excitation Energy in Linear C_(2n)H and C_(2n-1)N

IntroductionCarbon chains are among the most attractivecandidates as the carriers of the diffuse interstellarbands ( DIBs) [1] .To detect the carbon chains indark clouds and carbon stars[2 ] ,itis very importantto understand their electronic spectra.Maier andhis coworkers have measured the polyacetylenicradicals C2 n H( n=1— 4) and C2 n-1H( n=2— 6) bythe rotational spectroscopy[3 ,4] and the species n≤ 4have been detected in dark interstellar clouds[5,6] .In neon matrices,the B2 Π← X2…     

Preparation of Anti—Cardiac Troponin I Monoclonal Antibodies and Their Characterization with Surface Plasmon Resonance Biosensor

IntroductionIn fast and slow skeletal and cardiac muscles,troponin I,the inhibitory protein of the troponin-tropomyosin complex,exists in three isotype formsencoded by three separated genes.The amino acidsequences of the two skeletal and one cardiac Tn Iforms( s Tn I and c Tn I,respectively) exhibit40 %dissimilarity[1] .Moreover,human cardiac Tn I has31 additional residues on the N - terminal end,which do not exist in skeletal forms,thus it pro-vides a high potential for obtaining cardiac-…     

A Kinetic Evidence for the Nitroxyl Radicals Recycling Mechanism in the Photostabilizing Process of HALS

The photoinduced bulk polymerization of a reactive-hindered amine fight stabilizers(r-HALS), 4-acryloyl-2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidinyl (ATMP), was performed at 80℃ by using a DPC technique. An unique periodic exponential attenuation-type oscillating curve was found when the polymerization was carried out in air, but this phenomenon was not found in nitrogen.It is supposed that this unique kinetic performance may be attributed to nitroxyl radicals that are produced in situ from the oxidation of ATMP. ATMP polymer with narrow polydispersity (d =1.03) can be obtained by photoinduced solution polymerization of ATMP. The signal detected in ESR may be assigned to the nitroxyl radicals in the matrix of ATMP polymer. Since this kind of recycling of nitroxyl radicals is well documented for the photostabilizing mechanism of HALS, the present results may serve as a kinetic evidence for this mechanism.
