Prediction of CL-20 chemical degradation pathways,theoretical and experimental evidence for dependence on competing modes of reaction

Highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energies, formation energies, bond lengths and FTIR spectra all suggest competing CL-20 degradation mechanisms. This second of two studies investigates recalcitrant, toxic, aromatic CL-20 intermediates that absorb from 370 to 430?nm. Our earlier study (Struct. Chem., 15, 2004) revealed that these intermediates were formed at high OH^? concentrations via the chemically preferred pathway of breaking the C–C bond between the two cyclopentanes, thereby eliminating nitro groups, forming conjugated π bonds, and resulting in a pyrazine three-ring aromatic intermediate. In attempting to find and make dominant a more benign CL-20 transformation pathway, this current research validates hydroxylation results from both studies and examines CL-20 transformations via photo-induced free radical reactions. This article discusses CL-20 competing modes of degradation revealed through: computational calculation; UV/VIS and SF spectroscopy following alkaline hydrolysis; and photochemical irradiation to degrade CL-20 and its byproducts at their respective wavelengths of maximum absorption.     

Room Temperature Phosphorescence of 1-Bromo-4-(bromoacetyl)naphthalene Induced by Sodium Deoxycholate

Sodium deoxycholate (NaDOC) can induce 1-bromo-4-(bromoacetyl)naphthalene (BBAN) to undergo strong room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) without the removal of dissolved oxygen from the solution. RTP spectra, phosphorescence polarization and ¹³C NMR results, along with the molecular modeling calculations, supported the conclusion that BBAN molecule was combined in a sandwich with two NaDOC molecules by a “back-to-back” hydrophobic interaction arising from the apolar faces of the NaDOC molecules, which provided BBAN with a rigid enough microenvironment to produce RTP.     

黄铁矿在维持高放废物处置库近场还原性环境中的作用

研究了黄铁矿受60Coγ射线辐照后对地下水还原性环境的影响.辐照剂量率为200Gy·min-1,总吸收剂量为5×106Gy.通过分析辐照前后以及与地下水共同辐照后黄铁矿的结构和组成,发现60Co的γ射线可使地下水发生辐解反应,从而将黄铁矿氧化;但无论是直接辐照还是与地下水共同辐照,60Co的γ辐射均不改变黄铁矿的结构.黄铁矿可以消耗地下水辐解产生的氧化性产物,有利于维持处置库近场的还原性环境,提高处置库的安全性.     

ATPases as Multi-Response Sensing System for Various Organic and Inorganic Analytes

Summary. The possibility of using synaptic plasma membrane (SPM) enzymes Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase and Mg²⁺-ATPase, isolated from rat brain, as a biological component of multi-response sensing system for detection of different compounds (alkaline and heavy metal salts, organic compounds) was studied. The method is based on the spectrophotometric determination of inorganic ortho-phosphate (P_i) that serves as a measure of the enzymatic activity in the presence of various analytes. The concentration of P_i, liberated by enzyme catalysed hydrolysis of adenosinetriphosphate (ATP), was followed spectrophotometrically, by single exposure to analytes or in the mixture. P_i was dose dependent on the analyte concentration. Alkaline elements (Na, K, Mg), heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Hg, Cu, Fe, Co, Zn), toxic organic compounds (pyridine, urea, chlorpyrifos), and some drugs (digoxin, gitoxin) showed diverse effects, inducing the inhibition or stimulation of the enzymes activity. Development of simple test method for simultaneous detection of the investigated analytes based on the variation of medium assay composition was discussed.

QSAR models of cytochrome P450 enzyme 1A2 inhibitors using CoMFA,CoMSIA and HQSAR

Quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) studies were conducted on an in-house database of cytochrome P450 enzyme 1A2 inhibitors using the comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA), comparative molecular similarity analysis (CoMSIA) and hologram QSAR (HQSAR) approaches. The database consisted of 36 active molecules featuring varied core structures. The model based on the naphthalene substructure alignment incorporating 19 molecules yielded the best model with a CoMFA cross validation value q² of 0.667 and a Pearson correlation coefficient r² of 0.976; a CoMSIA q² value of 0.616 and r² value of 0.985; and a HQSAR q² value of 0.652 and r² value of 0.917. A second model incorporating 34 molecules aligned using the benzene substructure yielded an acceptable CoMFA model with q² value of 0.5 and r² value of 0.991. Depending on the core structure of the molecule under consideration, new CYP1A2 inhibitors will be designed based on the results from these models.     

Electron impact,electron capture negative ionization and positive chemical ionization mass spectra of organophosphorus flame retardants and plasticizers

Phosphate esters are important commercial products that have been used both as flame retardants and as plasticizers. To analyze these compounds by gas chromatographic mass spectrometry, it is important to understand the mass spectra of these compounds using various ionization modes. This paper is a systematic overview of the electron impact (EI), electron capture negative ionization (ECNI) and positive chemical ionization (PCI) mass spectra of 13 organophosphate esters. These data are useful for developing and optimizing analytical measurements. The EI spectra of these 13 compounds are dominated by ions such as H₄PO₄⁺, (M ? Cl)⁺, (M ? CH₂Cl)⁺ or (M)⁺ depending on specific chemical structures. The ECNI spectra are generally dominated by (M ? R)^?. The PCI spectra are mainly dominated by the protonated molecular ion (M + H)⁺. The branching of the alkyl substituents, the halogenation of the substituents and, for aromatic phosphate esters, ortho alkylation of the ring are all significant factors controlling the details of the fragmentation processes. EI provides the best sensitivity for the quantitative measurement of these compounds, but PCI and ECNI both have considerable qualitative selectivity. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Solvent intercalation in cobalt dimethylglyoximato complexes: A miniature host-guest system

When crystallized from appropriate solvents, the complex aqua-bis(dimethylglyoximato)nitrocobalt (III) may incorporate solvent molecules, thus forming a variety of mixed crystals. In the resulting host-guest crystals, the space groupP2_l/m and the packing motif of the pure host compound are retained. Lattice constantsa andb remain essentially unaltered upon intercalation, whereasc and the monoclinic angle depend largely on the clathrated guest. Space filling and intermolecular contacts are discussed.Dedicated to Professor Peter Paetzold at the occasion of his 60th birthday. A preliminary account of this work has been given at the Spring Meeting of the British Crystallographic Association, Newcastle upon Tyne, 1994.
