Synthesis and Crystal Structure of N-Phenylbis（ferrocenecarboxyl）imide

The ferrocenyl compound,N-phenylbis(ferrocenecarboxyl)imide (C28H23NO2Fe2,Mr=517.17),was synthesized and structurally characterized by means of X-ray single-crystal dif-fraction. It crystallizes in monoclinic,space group C2/c with a=21.374(14),b=10.430(7),c= 10.741(7) ,β=114.184(8)°,V=2184(2) 3,Z=4,Dc=1.573 g/cm3,F(000)=1064,μ(MoKα)= 1.355 mm–1,T=291(2) K,the final R=0.0548 and wR=0.1437 for 1524 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). In this compound,the nitrogen atom links two ferrocenyl groups and one phenyl group forming a novel imido derivative.     

Structure of BaGd2（MoO4）4 Crystal

The title compound belongs to monoclinic,space group C2/c with a=5.2694(1),b=12.6659(4),c=19.4108(2) ,β=91.504(2)°,V=1295.06(5) 3,Z=4 and Dc=5.599 g/cm3. The structure of BaGd2(MoO4)4 contains a MoO4 tetrahedron,a distorted GdO8 polyhedron,and Ba2+ ions in a tenfold coordination. The GdO8 polyhedra are linked together through edge-sharing to give a two-dimensional Gd layer. The MoO4 tetrahedra connected to the Gd atoms are capped up and down the Gd layer through common oxygen apices,thus forming a new Gd-Mo layer. Finally,the Gd-Mo layers are held together through bridging BaO10 polyhedra to form a three-dimensional framework. Since the Ba-μ3-O bond has a large average distance of 2.888 ,this structural characteristic will result in a cleavage along the (001) plane.     

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Electrochemical Properties of a Novel Phenothiazine Derivative

A new compound 1,1‘-bis(3-pyridyl)-propylene(3,7-diformyl-N-ethylphenothiazinyl)ketone (C30H23N3O2S, Mr = 489.4) has been synthesized, and its crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. The crystal is of orthorhombic, space group Ima2 with a = 27.491 (5), b = 11.942(2), c = 7.389(2) A, V = 2425.8(7) A^3, Z = 8, Dc =1.340 g/cm^3,μ = 0,167 mm ^1, F(000) = 1024, the final R = 0.0363 and wR = 0.0869 for 2054 unique reflections with Rint = 0.0254. The structural determination shows that the molecule assumes a butterfly configuration with nearly planar wings. In addition, the electrochemical study indicates that there is a high electronic delocalization in the molecule.     

DFT Studies on Electronic Structures of Boro-Nitride-Carbon Nanotubes

1 INTRODUCTION Since the discovery of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by S. Iijima[1] in 1991 as a quasi-one-dimensional nano-material, extensive attention has been paid to CNTs due to their special electric conductivity, me- chanical properties and potential applications in molecular device, complex material and so on. The structures of CNTs could be described as graphite sheet with planar hexagonal network structure cur- ling into a tube having the diameter of only several nanometers. In t…     

Synthesis and Characterization of {2-Formyl-6-[1-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)]-4- chlorophenoxy}_2Ni and Its Ethylene Oligomerization

1 INTRODUCTION Late-transition metal complexes as catalysts for ethylene oligomerization and polymerization have become an intense research subject[1]. Nickel com- plexes are in hot point due to the significant achieve- ments of academic research[2, 3] and industrial appli- cations[4, 5]. The nickel complexes with bidentate [P,O] ligands were industrialized as the SHOP pro- cess for α-olefins[4]. It is supposed that late transition metal complexes have a strong propensity of under- goi…     

Passive sampling and/or extraction techniques in environmental analysis: a review

The current state-of-the-art of passive sampling and/or extraction methods for long-term monitoring of pollutants in different environmental compartments is discussed in this review. Passive dosimeters that have been successfully used to monitor organic and inorganic contaminants in air, water, sediments, and soil are presented. The application of new approaches to the determination of pollutants at the sampling stage is discussed. The main milestones in the development of passive techniques for sampling and/or extraction of analytes, and in biomonitors used in environmental analysis, are summarized in this review. Passive samplers and biomonitors are compared.     

Investigation of the interaction of DNA and neutral red by?uorescence spectroscopic analysis

The binding characteristics of neutral red (NR) with DNA were investigated by fluorescence spectrometry. Chemometrics approach as singular value decomposition (SVD) was used to evaluate the number of spectral species in the drug-DNA binding process, and then the intrinsic binding constant of 1.6 104 in base pairs and the binding site number of 0.97 were obtained from the Scatchard plot.     

Application of Short-wave Near-infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy in Controlling Extract of Fructus Cnidii Using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

Fructus cnidii （Chinese name shechuangzi） is the fruit produced by Cnidium monnieri （L.） Cusson （Umbelliferae）. It is a perennial herb that is used to treat skin-related diseases and gynecopathyell. Recent pharmacological studies have revealed crude extracts or components isolated from fructus cnidii possess antiallergic, antipruritic, antidermatophytic, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiosteoporotic activities. Osthole and imperatorin are the major compounds present in shechuangzi. They are often used as standards for the evaluation of the quality of shechuangzi products.     

Use of enriched <Superscript>74</Superscript>Se and <Superscript>77</Superscript>Se in combination with isotope pattern deconvolution to differentiate and determine endogenous and supplemented selenium in lactating rats

A quantitative methodology has been developed to differentiate between endogenous and supplemented selenium in lactating rats using two enriched selenium isotopes. Lactating rats were fed for 2 weeks with formula milk containing one enriched Se isotope, ⁷⁷Se, as the metabolic tracer. The isotopic composition of selenium in serum and urine samples was then measured by collision cell ICP-MS after the addition of a solution containing another enriched isotope, ⁷⁴Se, as quantitation tracer, before analysis. Isotope pattern deconvolution allowed the transformation of measured Se isotopic abundances into concentrations of natural abundance (endogenous) selenium and enriched ⁷⁷Se (supplemented) present in the samples. The proposed methodology was validated using serum and urine reference materials spiked with both ⁷⁷Se and ⁷⁴Se. The obtained results are discussed in terms of selenium exchange and half-life in lactating rats (11–12 days) and selenium levels in serum in comparison with non-supplemented rats and control rats after maternal feeding.     

Instrumental modification intended to save time,and volumes of sample and reagent solutions,in the atomic fluorescence spectrometric determination of mercury

Use of small membrane pumps, instead of peristaltic pumps, to introduce sample and reagent solutions into the spectrometer has several advantages in atomic fluorescence spectrometric determination of mercury. This simple modification results in a substantial saving in the time required for the measurements and so 90% of reagent solution volumes and 95% of sample solution volumes are saved, with a consequent decrease in the volume of waste generated. The sampling frequency is almost tripled, with no deterioration in sensitivity, which is similar to that obtained by use of peristaltic pumps. The relative standard deviation for ten consecutive measurements of a 1 μg L⁻¹ mercury solution was approximately 2%.
