Hofmeister离子对水溶液中热响应聚合物的局域环境的影响

The Hofmeister ion effect is a very interesting but elusive phenomenon, the importance of which is revealed in self-assembly, ion recognition, and protein folding regulation. With an increasing number of studies suggesting that interactions between ions and solutes play a role in the Hofmeister ion effect, the nature of the Hofmeister phenomenon becomes more debatable. Yet, it is not clear whether the Hofmeister ion effect is a local effect or bulk effect that can reach beyond many hydration shells, where specific interactions between ions and solutes play key roles. In order to further explore this, we applied proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H-NMR) spectroscopy to study the effects of specific ions on the local environment around N, N-dimethylpropionamide (NDA) and N-isopropylisobutyramide (NPA), which are the model compounds for poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), respectively. These polymers are important bio-engineering materials that possess thermoresponsive properties and are also subject to specific ion effects. By correlating the changes in chemical shifts of the two methyl groups on either side of the amide bond, it was found that the Hofmeister ion effects on NPA were more anisotropic than on NDA, and that the cationic effects were more anisotropic than the anionic effects on NPA. These results indicated that the effects of specific ions were almost identical for all methyl groups of NDA. On the other hand, NPA is a larger molecule; thus, not all of its methyl groups were subjected to the specific ion effects to the same extent. The calculation of the electrostatic potential surfaces of NDA and NPA suggested that these observations on the Hofmeister ion effects might be due to steric hindrance, and that the observations on the cationic effects might be due to the interactions between cations and NPA being stronger than the interactions between anions and NPA. This would explain why the highly charged cations caused a significant anisotropicity. Additionally, we found that the chemical shift of the water protons (Δδ_H2O) of conventional kosmotropic anions was larger than zero, which suggested a stronger HB and more charge transfer between water and these anions. The Δδ_H2O of conventional chaotropic anions was less than zero. Despite the different solutes, the results were indifferent in both NDA and NPA solutions. Surprisingly, the Δδ_H2O of Cl^- at concentrations lower than 1 mol∙L^-1 was zero, thus becoming the benchmark between chaotropes and kosmotropes. These results suggested a quantitative measurement of kosmotropicity/chaotropicity, where the anion would be kosmotropic if its Δδ_H2O were higher than that of Cl^- and chaotropic for the opposing condition. Moreover, the results showed that the effects of the cations on the water structure were minimal, which was consistent with minimal charge transfer between the cations and water. The overall results of this study suggest that the Hofmeister ion effect is a global effect, while local interactions of ions with solutes also play a key role.

EPR of 3d 5 and 3d 8 Ions in Crystals With Perchlorate Structure at High Pressure

EPR spectra for ions Ni 2+ (3d 5 ) and Mn 2+ (3d 5 ) substituting Zn 2+ in crystals Zn(BF 4 ) 2 ·6H 2 O are studied within a wide range under hydrostatic pressure in X and Q bands. It is shown that the pressure changes to a considerable extent the spectrum parameters of ion Mn 2+ , reducing axial parameter b_{2}^{0} and increasing cubic one b_{4}^{0} at 9 kbar pressure, there is no temperature dependency of parameter b_{2}^{0} . Hydrostatic pressure changes linearly the initial splitting of ion Ni 2+ and results to a change in D(b_{2}^{0}) sign, which means the spin levels inversion at 3.5 kbar.     

Ranges and profiles of distribution of low-energy ions channeling in metal and semiconductor single crystals

In the present work peculiarities of trajectories and energy losses, ranges and profiles of distribution of low-energy different-mass ions channeling in thin single crystals of metals and semiconductors have been thoroughly studied by computer simulation in binary collision approximation. The character of oscillations of channeled-ion trajectories depending on their energies, aiming points from the axis of a channel, kind of interaction potential, crystal lattice type and temperature has been determined. It has been found that, in the case of light ions even at low energy, the main contribution to energy loss is made by inelastic energy losses, whereas for heavy ions, already at E < 10 keV, elastic energy losses exceed inelastic ones. Profiles of the distribution of channeled ions have been calculated depending on crystal lattice type, kind of ions and their energy.
