para-Sulfonatocalix[6]arene-modified silver nanoparticles electrodeposited on glassy carbon electrode: Preparation and electrochemical sensing of methyl parathion

In this paper, a new electrochemical sensor, based on modified silver nanoparticles, was fabricated using one-step electrodeposition approach. The para-sulfonatocalix[6]arene-modified silver nanoparticles coated on glassy carbon electrode (pSC₆-Ag NPs/GCE) was characterized by attenuated total reflection IR spectroscopy (ATR-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), etc. The pSC₆ as the host are highly efficient to capture organophosphates (OPs), which dramatically facilitates the enrichment of nitroaromatic OPs onto the electrochemical sensor surface. The combination of the host-guest supramolecular structure and the excellent electrochemical catalytic activities of the pSC₆-Ag NPs/GCE provides a fast, simple, and sensitive electrochemical method for detecting nitroaromatic OPs. In this work, methyl parathion (MP) was used as a nitroaromatic OP model for testing the proposed sensor. In comparison with Ag NPs-modified electrode, the cathodic peak current of MP was amplified significantly. Differential pulse voltammetry was used for the simultaneous determination of MP. Under optimum conditions, the current increased linearly with the increasing concentration of MP in the range of 0.01-80 μM, with a detection limit of 4.0 nM (S/N = 3). The fabrication reproducibility and stability of the sensor is better than that of enzyme-based electrodes. The possible underlying mechanism is discussed.     

Homogeneous methylation of wood pulp cellulose dissolved in LiOH/urea/H2O

Spruce sulphite cellulose (number average degree of polymerization 620) dissolved in an aqueous solution of 8% (w/w) LiOH*H₂O and 12% (w/w) urea was methylated with dimethyl sulphate (DMS). By varying the reaction temperature between 22 and 50 °C, the molar ratio between 9 and 15 mol DMS per mol anhydroglucose unit, and the reaction time from 4 to 24 h, methyl cellulose (MC) with degree of substitution (DS) values in the range of 1.07 and 1.59 was prepared. The chemical structure of MC was analysed by FTIR and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The turbidity (given in nephelometric turbidity units, NTU) of the aqueous solution of MC reached an optimum of 10 NTU for a product obtained with 12 mol DMS/mol AGU at 50 °C. GPC measurements revealed polymer degradation to a certain extent. The intrinsic viscosity and the Huggins constant k of the MC samples increased with increasing DS value. The MC samples possess k values higher than 0.8, indicating association of the polymer chain. The zero-shear viscosity decreased with increase of both temperature and the amount of methylation agent due to the depolymerization. During the heating/cooling cycle (20-90 °C) of the aqueous solutions of MC, it was observed that samples synthesized at 22 °C with DS values lower than 1.3 did not undergo phase separation in aqueous solution. Phase separation hysteresis with a precipitation temperature up to 80 °C was obtained for aqueous solutions of MC with DS values between 1.07 and 1.66 synthesized at higher temperatures. The functionalization pattern determined by GLC of the corresponding partially methylated glucitol acetates is close to randomness and comparable with those of commercial MC samples.     

Microwave hydrothermal synthesis and photocatalytic activity of AgIn5S8 for the degradation of dye

AgIn₅S₈ powders were successfully synthesized by a microwave hydrothermal method for the first time. This method is a mild and highly efficient route involves no templates, catalysts, or surfactants. Therefore, it is very promising for the low-cost and large-scale industrial production. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV-vis spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The photocatalytic activity of AgIn₅S₈ nanoparticles was investigated through the degradation of methyl orange under visible light irradiation. Compared with TiO_2−xN_x, AgIn₅S₈ has exhibited a superior activity under the same condition. A liquid chromatogram-mass spectrometer was used to separate and identify the dye and degradation products generated during the reaction. According to the experiment results, a possible mechanism for the degradation of organic pollutant over AgIn₅S₈ was proposed.     

Determination of trace organophosphorus pesticides in water samples with TiO2 nanotubes cartridge prior to GC‐flame photometric detection

This article described a new method for the sensitive determination of organophosphorus pesticides in water samples using SPE in combination with GC‐flame photometric detection. In the procedure of method development, TiO₂ nanotubes were used as SPE adsorbents for the enrichment of organophosphorus pesticides from water samples. Several factors, such as eluent and its volume, sample pH, sample volume, sample flow rate, and concentration of humic acid, were optimized. Under the optimal conditions, the proposed method had good linear ranges as 0.1–40 μg/L for each of them, LOD of 0.11, 0.014, and 0.0025 μg/L, and LOQs of 0.37, 0.047, and 0.0083 μg/L for chlorpyrifos, phorate, and methyl parathion, respectively. The proposed method was validated with real environmental water samples and the spiked recoveries were over the range of 86.5–115.1%. All these results indicated that TiO₂ nanotubes, as a new SPE adsorbent, would be used widespread for the preconcentraiton and determination of environmental pollutants in the future.     

One- and two-dimensional NMR studies of methyl acrylate/vinyl acetate/N-vinyl carbazole terpolymers

Terpolymers of methyl acrylate/vinyl acetate/N-vinyl carbazole (M/A/C) with different compositions were synthesized by solution polymerization using AIBN as an initiator. Composition of terpolymers was determined from quantitative ¹³C{¹H} NMR spectrum. Two-dimensional heteronuclear single quantum correlation (HSQC) and total correlated spectroscopy (TOCSY) were used to assign the methylene and methine carbon resonances by analyzing two and three bond order couplings. Various resonance signals were assigned to different compositional and configurational sequences with the help of one- and two-dimensional NMR spectra. Three and four bond order coupling between carbonyl carbon and other neighboring protons have been investigated with the help of 2D heteronuclear multiple bond correlation (HMBC) spectra. The complex and overlapped ¹H NMR spectrum of terpolymer was analyzed completely with the help of 2D HSQC and TOCSY spectra.

采用XRD、N2 physical adsorption、XPS、NH3-TPD和吡啶吸附IR等技术,对碳酸二甲酯和丙醇气固相合成碳酸甲丙酯的TiO2/Al2O3催化剂进行了表征.实验结果表明,TiO2/Al2O3表面的Lewis酸中心是反应的催化活性位,酸性主要来源于Al2O3,TiO2起修饰作用,有利于选择性生成碳酸甲丙酯.随着Ti负载量的增加,TiO2在Al2O3表面由高度分散状态向晶态转变,其比表面积逐渐降低,但是TiO2/Al2O3的表面酸性质没有受到显著影响,L酸量先是增加,而后略有下降.当Ti负载量为5%时,DMC的转化率及MPC的选择性分别达到54.3%和88.1%.     

Development of a method based on on-line reversed phase liquid chromatography and gas chromatography coupled by means of an adsorption–desorption interface for the analysis of selected chiral volatile compounds in methyl jasmonate treated strawberries

A method based on the use of the through oven transfer adsorption–desorption (TOTAD) interface in on-line coupling between reversed phase liquid chromatography and gas chromatography (RPLC–GC) for the determination of chiral volatile compounds was developed. In particular, the method was applied to the study of the influence of methyl jasmonate (MJ) treatment on the production and enantiomeric composition of selected aroma compounds in strawberry. The compounds studied were ethyl 2-methylbutanoate, linalool and 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone (i.e. furaneol), which were examined on days 3, 6 and 9 after treatment. The method developed resulted in relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 21.6%, 8.1% and 9.8% and limits of detection (LD) of 0.04, 0.07 and 0.02 mg/l for ethyl 2-methylbutanoate, linalool and furaneol, respectively. The application of the RPLC–TOTAD–GC method allowed higher levels of ethyl 2-methylbutanoate, linalool and furaneol to be detected, particularly after 9 days of treatment. Besides, MJ demonstrated to affect the enantiomeric distribution of ethyl 2-methylbutanoate. On the contrary, the enantiomeric composition of linalool and furaneol kept constant in both control and MJ-treated strawberries throughout the study. These results are discussed.

The microwave spectrum of methyl chlorodifluoroacetate: Methyl internal rotation and chlorine nuclear electric quadrupole coupling

A chirped pulse microwave spectrometer has been used to record microwave spectra of the ³⁵Cl and ³⁷Cl isotopologues of methyl chlorodifluoroacetate, CClF₂C(O)OCH₃, between 8 GHz and 16 GHz. The target compound was spectroscopically examined as it participated in a supersonic expansion of argon. Only one conformer was observed. The rotational spectra were recorded with sufficient resolution to observe (i) splittings due to the internal rotation of the methyl group, and (ii) splittings from the coupling of the chlorine quadrupolar nucleus. A total of 785 transitions have had quantum numbers assigned. Analysis of the spectra observed has produced an experimental barrier to the methyl group internal rotation, V₃, of 370(2) cm⁻¹. It is noted that this barrier is a little lower than that determined for methyl acetate [V₃ = 425 cm⁻¹, J. Sheridan, W. Bossert and A. Bauder, J. Mol. Spectrosc., 80 (1980) 1-11], and this is rationalized through a comparison of molecular structures. Lastly, all components of both the ³⁵Cl and ³⁷Cl chlorine nuclear electric quadrupolar coupling tensor have been determined.
