TDS and XPS study of oxygen diffusion into subsurface layers of Pd(110)

Summary The interaction of O₂with Pd(110) has been studied by TDS and XPS at T = 400 K and at pressures P_{O2 from 2.6x10}^-6to 10 Pa. At low exposures in O₂(e￡1-5 L), an adsorption layer withqof ca.0.5 and with the O1s peak at BE = 529.3 eV has been found to form on the surface. Whenegrows from 5 to 10⁸L, the position and intensity of the oxygen O1s peak remain practically constant. At the same time, as much as 5 mL of oxygen is absorbed according to the TDS data. The results obtained by TDS and XPS indicate that oxygen penetrates deep into the subsurface layers of palladium (315-20 ?) and is distributed in its bulk in a low concentration.     

A novel direct synthesis of (2,2-difluorovinyl)benzenes from aromatic aldehydes

A novel catalytic approach to (2,2-difluorovinyl)benzenes has been developed. It was found that hydrazones of aromatic aldehydes generated in situ could be converted to the corresponding (2,2-difluorovinyl)benzenes by catalytic olefination reaction (COR) with dibromodifluoromethane in the presence of CuCl.

Thermodynamics of the decomposition processes of donor-acceptor complexes MX3 x en x MX3 and MX3 x en.

The structural and thermodynamic properties of the donor-acceptor (DA) complexes of Group 13 metal halides (MX3) with ethylenediamine and their decomposition products have been studied theoretically at the B3LYP/LANL2DZ(d,p) level of theory. Gas-phase dissociation into various components and HX elimination reactions are considered. Both processes are endothermic but favored by entropy. Complexes of 2:1 composition are predicted to be stable in the gas phase up to 640-1000 K. It is found that complexation with the second acceptor molecule lowers the HX elimination enthalpy; in turn, HX elimination increases DA bonding with a second MX3 molecule. Exceptionally high values of the dissociation enthalpies (310-390 kJ mol(-1)) and HX elimination reactions (360-420 kJ mol(-1)) of the amido compounds MX2NHC2H4NH2 and MX2NHC2H4NHMX2 make them important intermediates in the decomposition processes. Dissociation reactions of the complexes are more favorable than HX elimination reactions; however, the subsequent oligomerization and cyclization processes of coordinationally unsaturated amido and imido compounds may facilitate HX elimination. Since HI elimination reactions are predicted to be the least endothermic, and aluminum-containing compounds have the strongest M-N dissociation enthalpies, it is expected that compounds based on aluminum iodide are promising objects for experimental studies.     

Reaction of α-halogen substituted β-ethoxyvinyl trifluoromethyl ketones with 2-aminopyridine: new route to trifluoroacetyl-containing heterocycles

The reaction of α-halosubstituted β-ethoxyvinyl trifluoromethyl ketones with 2-aminopyridine gives 3-trifluoroacetyl imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine and 3-halo-1,1,1-trifluoro-4-(2-pyridinylamino)-3-buten-2-ones. The product ratio depends on the nature of the α-halogen atom and the solvent.     

A NEW PEAK (T_4) IN THE ~(13)C-NMR SPECTRUM OF POLYBUTADIENE

A new peak at 39.0 ppm in the ~(13)C-NMR spectrum of polybutadiene (PBD) was discovered. This peak is assigned to the fourth peak (T_4) of trans-1,4-sequence marked with an asterisk as shown in Fig. 3 in the text.The occurrence of T_4 carbon nuclei is strongly affected by their neighboring 1,2-units. So long as both contents of trans-1,4- and 1,2-units attain their proper amounts the peak (T_4) with appear in the ~(13)C-NMR spectrum of PBD.     

Bleaching of kraft cellulose by the ClO<Subscript>2</Subscript>-H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>2</Subscript> scheme

The influence of conditions of a two-stage treatment of deciduous and coniferous kraft cellulose (by the ClO₂-H₂O₂ scheme) on the degree of its delignification and bleaching was studied. The optimum ratio of reagents in each stage of the treatment was elucidated.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Khimii, Vol. 77, No. 10, 2004, pp. 1735–1738.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by Shcherbakova, Demin.

Biosensors based on enzyme field-effect transistors for determination of some substrates and inhibitors

This paper is a review of the authors' publications concerning the development of biosensors based on enzyme field-effect transistors (ENFETs) for direct substrates or inhibitors analysis. Such biosensors were designed by using immobilised enzymes and ion-selective field-effect transistors (ISFETs). Highly specific, sensitive, simple, fast and cheap determination of different substances renders them as promising tools in medicine, biotechnology, environmental control, agriculture and the food industry.The biosensors based on ENFETs and direct enzyme analysis for determination of concentrations of different substrates (glucose, urea, penicillin, formaldehyde, creatinine, etc.) have been developed and their laboratory prototypes were fabricated. Improvement of the analytical characteristics of such biosensors may be achieved by using a differential mode of measurement, working solutions with different buffer concentrations and specific agents, negatively or positively charged additional membranes, or genetically modified enzymes. These approaches allow one to decrease the effect of the buffer capacity influence on the sensor response in an aim to increase the sensitivity of the biosensors and to extend their dynamic ranges.Biosensors for the determination of concentrations of different toxic substances (organophosphorous pesticides, heavy metal ions, hypochlorite, glycoalkaloids, etc.) were designed on the basis of reversible and/or irreversible enzyme inhibition effect(s). The conception of an enzymatic multibiosensor for the determination of different toxic substances based on the enzyme inhibition effect is also described.We will discuss the respective advantages and disadvantages of biosensors based on the ENFETs developed and also demonstrate their practical application.
