Electroanalysis and simultaneous determination of dopamine and epinephrine at poly(isonicotinic acid)-modified carbon paste electrode in the presence of ascorbic acid

A carbon paste electrode modified with electropolymerized fills of isonicotinic acid was developed.The modified electrode shows excellent electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidation of both dopamine(DA)and epinephrine(EP).Separation of the reduction peak potentials for dopamine and epinephrine was about 357 mV in pH 5.3 phosphate buffer solution(PBS)and the character was used for the detection DA and EP simultaneously.The peak currents increase linearly with DA and EP concentration over the range of 8.0×10-5 to 7.0×10-4 mol/L and 5.0×10-6 to 1.0×10-4 mol/L with detection limits of 2 × 10-5 and 1×10-6 mol/L,respectively.The interference studies showed that the modified electrode exhibits excellent selectivity in the presence of large excess of ascorbic acid(AA).     

Synthesis and characterization of Al doped δ-laminar crystal sodium silicate

An modified laminar crystal sodium silicate(Al-SKS-6)was synthesized by spray drying and high temperature crystallization using sodium silicate as silicon source,Al atom as inorganic source and hexadecyltrimethy ammomum bromide(CTMAB)as the structure template.The hydrothermal stability of product was at least 1 h.The synthesized material was characterized by XRD and SEM.The results indicated that shape and intensity of XRD diffraction peak at 20 took changes.but raw material δ phase crystal form kept unchanged.and assured high Ca2+ and Mg2+ binding capacity of the products.The Ca2+ and Mg2+ binding capacity of product is up to 380 mg Ca/g and 410mg Mg/g respectively.It was found that the hole of product became smaller and appeared rod structure based on SEM. The hydrothermal stability was increased due to the pillaring of A1 atom.     

Molecular imprinting of protein by coordinate interaction

In this article,a novel strong interaction by forming complex between bovine serum albumin(BSA) and copper ion was utilized for the preparation of molecular imprinted hydrogel in aqueous solution.Results show that the inclusion of copper ion in preparation can bridge the template BSA and functional monomers together and improve the imprinting effect compared to the polymer made without copper ion added.High selectivity factor and large adsorption capacity are also observed for the obtained BSA-imprinted ...     

Enantioselective fluorescent sensors for amino acid derivatives based on BINOL bearing benzoyl unit

The derivatives of BINOL, (S)-1 and (R)-1, and their analogues have been prepared and the structures of these compounds have been characterized by IR, MS, ¹H, and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The enantioselective recognition of these receptors has been studied by fluorescence titration and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The receptors exhibited different chiral recognition abilities toward some enantiomers of chiral materials and formed 1:1 complexes between host and guest. Receptor (S)-1 or (R)-1 exhibits excellent enantioselective fluorescent recognition abilities toward amino acid derivatives.     

Controlled synthesis of ZnO with adjustable morphologies from nanosheets to microspheres

The synthesis of ZnO with different morphologies (hexagonal prisms, nanosheets, microspheres and quasi-flowers) was realized through a solvothermal method. During the synthetic procedure, the decomposition of hexamethylenetetramine at the temperature ≥100 °C provided (OH)⁻¹ ions at the rate of good distribution, and sodium dodecyl sulfate was used as templates. By adjusting the basicity in the synthetic system, ZnO nanosheets, or microspheres with nanosheet assemblies were obtained. Adjusting the concentration of surfactant, ZnO hexagonal crystals were formed; by adjusting the synthetic temperature, ZnO quasi-flowers with some nanosheet assemblies were produced. Based on experimental observation and analysis, the forming mechanism was discussed.

Structure and stability of high‐spin Aun(n = 2–8) clusters

The structures and relative stability of the maximum‐spin ⁿ⁺¹Au_n and ⁿAu (n = 2–8) clusters have been determined by density‐functional theory. The structure optimizations and vibrational frequency analysis are performed with the gradient‐corrections of Perdew along with his 1981 local correlation functional, combined with SBKJC effective core potential, augmented in the valence basis set by a set of f functions. We predicted the existence of a number of previously unknown isomers. The energetic and electronic properties of the small high‐spin gold clusters are strongly dependent on sizes. The high‐spin clusters tend to holding three‐dimensional geometry rather than planar form preferred in low‐spin situations. In whole high‐spin Au_n (n = 2–8) neutral and cationic species, ⁵Au₄, ²Au, and ⁴Au are predicted to be of high stability, which can be explained by valence bond theory. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and characterization of a-{3-[(2,3-dihydroxy) propoxy]propyl}-v-butyl-polydimethylsiloxanes

Hydrosilylation has been carried out between Si-H terminated polydimethylsiloxanes with narrow molecular weight distribution and protected 3-allyloxy-1,2-propanediol, and after subsequently alcoholyzed, α-{3-[(2,3-dihydroxy)propoxy]propyl}-ω-butyl-polydimethylsiloxanes with varying number of ((Si(CH₃)₂-O) unit were obtained.

Ultrafast Dynamics of o‐Bromofluorobenzene Studied by Time‐Resolved Photoelectron Imaging

Photodissociation dynamics and rotational wave packet coherences of o‐bromofluorobenzene are studied by femtosecond time‐resolved photoelectron imaging (see figure). The decay of different photoelectron rings shows the population decay of states from which the lifetimes of different states are determined. The variation of photoelectron angular distributions reflects the evolution of rotational coherences.
