OBSERVATION OF A RATE ENHANCING ANION-IONIC STRENGTH INTERACTION IN THE POLAROGRAPHIC REDUCTION OF Ga(III) IN HALIDE-Sr(C104)2 MEDIA

Abstract

Preliminary polarographic experiments have revealed that in sufficiently concentrated alkaline earth perchlorates C1^?, Br^?, and I^? catalyze the reversible reduction of Ga(III) to the metal. The results are discussed relative to earlier work which indicated that reversibility is realizable only in the presence of SCN^? or N₃ ^?     

An investigation of the deprotonation of hydrazone-based receptors on interaction with anion: develop a colorimetric system distinguishing cyanide from anions

Hydrazone-based receptors, containing fluorene-skeleton substituents, in a THF solution, in the presence of fluoride or cyanide, do not only form H-bond complexes, but mainly undergo deprotonation of the N–H fragments, an event, which is signaled by the color change, the ability of the deprotonation is associated with the fluorene skeleton. The deprotonation process is also reversible by the addition of metal ions, while cyanide from fluoride could be distinguished by the addition of copper (II).     

Fluorescent azophenol-quinazoline dyad as multichannel reversible pH indicator in aqueous media: an innovative concept on diazo based dyads

A novel azophenol-quinazoline dyad 1 has been designed, synthesized and demonstrated as an efficient reversible multichannel pH indicator through distinct signalling in aqueous media. Owing to the competence between highly fluorescent quinazoline moiety and a well known fluorescence quencher diazo group, dyad 1 is moderately fluorescent in nature. Under acidic conditions 1 displays diverse fluorogenic changes (blue emission at pH 4.25; green at pH 1.80) while under basic condition (pH 11.80) chromogenic changes were observed.     

RAFT法合成两亲性嵌段共聚物PSt-b-PAA-b-PSt及其在离子液体[BMIM][PF_6]中的自组装

用三硫代碳酸二(α,α′-二甲基-α-乙酸)酯(BDATC)作为链转移剂,苯乙烯St作为第一单体,通过可逆加成-断裂链转移聚合(RAFT)方法合成出大分子链转移剂PSt-CTA,以丙烯酸AA作为第二共聚单体合成出3个不同嵌段比的两亲性嵌段共聚物聚苯乙烯-b-聚丙烯酸-b-聚苯乙烯(PSt-b-PAA-b-PSt).通过傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)和核磁共振氢谱(1H-NMR)确定了PSt-b-PAA-b-PSt结构,使用凝胶渗透色谱(GPC)测定了大分子引发剂PSt-CTA和嵌段共聚物PSt-b-PAA-b-PSt的分子量及分子量分布.将这3个不同嵌段比的两亲性嵌段共聚物在离子液体1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑六氟磷酸盐[BMIM][PF6]中进行自组装,用透射电子显微镜(TEM)观察聚合物在离子液体中自组装结构.研究发现,当PSt的链段长度固定时,胶束的自组装形态主要依赖于PAA链的长度.当PAA链段较长时,胶束呈球形;PAA链段变得较短时,胶束的形态则由球形转变为核壳结构,并且胶束形态在25℃至100℃之间不受温度影响.     

Nanostructured thermoresponsive quantum dot/PNIPAM assemblies

Synthesis, characterization, and applications of novel thermoresponsive polymeric coatings for quantum dots (QDs) are presented. Comb-copolymers featuring hydrophobic alkyl groups, carboxylic groups and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) side chains with molar masses ranging from 1000 g/mol to 25,400 g/mol were obtained. The amphiphilic comb-copolymers were shown to efficiently transfer the QDs to aqueous media. The PNIPAM-coated QD materials display a lower critical solution temperature (LCST). The absorbance, luminescence emission, size of the assemblies, and electrophoretic mobility were followed as a function of temperature and the reversibility of the temperature induced changes is demonstrated by cyclic heating and cooling.     

RAFT分散聚合方法制备支化聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯

以甲基丙烯酸甲酯(MMA)与三缩丙二醇双丙烯酸酯(TPGDA)为单体,S-1-十二烷基-S′-(α,α′-二甲基-α″-乙酸)三硫代碳酸酯作为RAFT试剂防止反应体系交联,进行RAFT分散共聚合.通过在成核以后加入RAFT试剂和多官能度单体(TPGDA)的两步法分散聚合反应得到了粒径接近单分散的球形聚合物粒子,其粒径大小在1.9～2.7μm范围,粒径分布为1.12～1.24.采用凝胶色谱法(GPC)、核磁共振(1H-NMR)对所得共聚物的分子量、分子量分布(MWD)、共聚物组成、共聚物结构进行了表征.GPC结果表明所得聚合物的分子量分布曲线呈双峰分布,说明在成核期形成了线形的MMA均聚物,而在成核后由MMA与TPGDA共聚生成了支化的共聚物.1H-NMR结果显示所得共聚物具有支化的结构,共聚物中TPGDA的比例低于其在初始原料中的比例.此外,所得共聚物的特性黏度随转化率升高而降低,形状因子α从0.643降低到0.548,进一步证明了聚合物具有支化结构.

Synthesis and characterization of graft copolymers based on polyepichlorohydrin via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization

In this study, synthesis of poly(epichlorohydrin-g-methyl methacrylate) graft copolymers by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization was reported. For this purpose, epichlorohydrin was polymerized by using HNO₃ via cationic ring-opening mechanism. A RAFT macroinitiator (macro-RAFT agent) was obtained by the reaction of potassium ethyl xanthogenate and polyepichlorohydrin. The graft copolymers were synthesized using macro-RAFT agent as initiator and methyl methacrylate as monomer. The synthesis of graft copolymers was conducted by changing the time of polymerization and the amount of monomer-initiator concentration that affect the RAFT polymerization. The effects of these parameters on polymerization were evaluated via various analyses. The characterization of the products was determined using ¹H-nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H-NMR), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, gel-permeation chromatography, thermogravimetric analysis, elemental analysis, and fractional precipitation techniques. The block lengths of the graft copolymers were calculated by using ¹H-NMR spectrum. It was observed that the block length could be altered by varying the monomer and initiator concentrations.     

认识化学反应平衡

The drawbacks in interpreting the chemical equilibrium in current general chemistry textbooks were discussed. An easy-understood introduction of chemical isothermoequation of several types of reactions was proposed. Reversible and irreversible reactions, reversible and irreversible processes, and complete and incomplete reactions were distinguished, respectively.     

生物化学中酶促"不可逆"反应及其相关问题辨析

在生物化学教学和研究中,一些酶促反应被归类为不可逆反应。然而,此处的"不可逆"与物理化学中的"不可逆"有所不同,这一表述本身常导致学生的困惑。不仅如此,"不可逆"的实际含义及其衍生的观念可能进一步使学生产生很多对基本生化反应过程的严重误解。本文以物理化学所定义的"不可逆"为准,重新讨论生物化学中所指"不可逆"的准确含义,并举例讨论了包括"速控步""限速酶""高能磷酸键"在内的若干因生物化学中"不可逆"的不准确定义造成的认知误区。
