Carboxylic acid–diamine-based Cu2+ chromogenic sensors (3 and 4) exhibited colour switching from red to blue with good sensitivity and selectivity towards Cu2+ among other physiologically important alkali, alkaline earth and heavy metal ions. This colour-switching phenomenon arises due to selective deprotonation of aryl amine NH by Cu2+. Significantly, chemosensor 3 (λmax 492 nm) shows multiple modes of complexation towards Cu2+. It is very much evident from the appearance of blue colour (λmax 615 nm) at pH >7.0 and yellow colour (λmax 465 nm) at pH < 4.0. In addition, chemosensor 3 exhibits a unique logic gate system that involves ‘INHIBIT’ and ‘TRANSFER’ logic gates. 相似文献
Our investigation on the relation between oxygen content and the laser-induced voltages of the YBa2Cu3O7−δ films in normal-state shows that deoxygenation of the superconducting films reduces the laser-induced voltages greatly, even reverses the sign of the signals at large oxygen deficiency. The absolute value of the negative signal at large oxygen deficiency can be greater than that of the positive signal. 相似文献
ABSTRACT (S)-(+)-Dihydro-3-hydroxy-4,4-dimethyl-2(3H)-furanone, (R)-(-)-dihydro-3-hydroxy-4,4-dimethyl-2(3H)-furanone, (S)-(-)-dihydro-4-hydroxy-2(3H)-furanone, and (S)-(-)-5-hydroxymethyl-2(5H)-furanone in the presence of pure enantiomers of 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(9-anthryl)ethanol were studied by 1H NMR in deuterated chloroform solutions. Experimental Job's plots suggest that the resulting solvates are formed with one molecule of solute and one of the chiral solvating agent. From the magnitude of the association constant determined for (S)-(+)-dihydro-3-hydroxy-4,4-dimethyl-2(3H)-furanone in the presence of (R)-(-)-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(9-anthryl)ethanol (1.26 ± 0.09 M?1), it is inferred that the solvate is weak and cannot be isolated at 298 K. The correlation between the magnitude of induced chemical shifts, NOESY maps, and the known configuration of solutes and chiral solvating agents suggests that intermolecular hydroxyl-hydroxyl interaction is the primary interaction. Accordingly, the secondary interaction might occur between benzylic-hydrogen of the chiral solvating agent and the carbonyl- or furan ring-oxygen atoms of the solute. 相似文献
Complexation of aluminum (III) with cyanidin, a natural anthocyanidin molecule, has been investigated in methanol and buffered solutions of pH 3.0 and 4.0. Electronic absorption spectroscopy was performed to characterize the stoichiometry and stability of the complexes formed. In investigated solvents, aluminum bonded moderately to cyanidin requiring large mole ratios of the components (up to 200) for the access of complexation. Molar ratio plots showed the formation of only one complex with stoichiometry aluminum (III):cyanidin of 1∶1 in both investigated media. Semiempirical calculations, performed in the Austin Model 1 parameterization, enabled the determination of the structural features of free compounds as well as complex structural modifications caused by chelation of Al(III). 相似文献
In the present work, 11 different procedures for protein and metalloprotein extraction from horse chestnuts (Aescullus hippocastanum L.) in natura were tested. After each extraction, total protein was determined and, after protein separation through sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), those metals belonging to the protein structure were mapped by synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence (SRXRF). After mapping the elements (Cr, Fe and Mn) in the protein bands (ca. 33 and 23.7 kDa), their concentrations were determined using atomic absorption spectrometry (ET AAS).
Good results were obtained for protein extraction using a combination of grinding and sonication. However, this strategy was not suitable to preserve metal ions in the protein structure. In fact, there was 42% decrease on Mn concentration using this procedure, compared to that performed with sample agitation in water (taken as reference). On the other hand, when grinding and agitation with an extracting buffer was used, there was a 530% increase of Mn concentration, when compared to the reference procedure.
These results indicate agreement between metal identification and determination in proteins as well as the great influence of the extraction procedure (i.e., the sample preparation step) for preserving metals in the protein structures. 相似文献
Superconducting common c-axis oriented YBCO films as well as non-superconducting films epitaxially grown at significantly reduced substrate temperatures were deposited by laser ablation on CeO2/YSZ buffered silicon substrates. The crystal structure of the non-superconducting films measured by XRD is collapsed from the original orthorhombic one, whereas the chemical composition detected using RBS and EDX remains identical. Especially the oxygen content in the non-superconducting material is as high as in the common 90 K superconductor. Thus, the change in the electrical behaviour is only due to a structural modification. The crystallographic model of a simple cubic YBCO perovskite unit cell does not represent completely our experimental results measured on the non-superconducting YBCO. A modified model based on detailed TEM and XRD measurements and known crystal defects of orthorhombic YBCO is proposed. 相似文献
After briefly noting some development records in phase diagrams, the stoichiometry is dealt with in more details showing the
structural layer ordering in the superconducting cuprates and mentioning some correlation between thermodynamics and BSC theory
of superconductivity.
