Inclusion complexes of the natural product gossypol. Recognition by gossypol of halogeno methanes. Structure of the dichloromethane complex of gossypol and single crystal conservation after decomposition

The structures of gossypol complexes are extremely sensitive to the halogenomethane present as the guest; e.g. changing the number of Cl atoms in chloromethane derivatives changes the structure of the gossypol complex. The crystals of C₃₀H₃₀O₈·CH₂Cl₂ are monoclinic, space groupC2/c,a=21.320(4),b=19.199(6),c=15.765(2)Å, =113.05(2)^o,V=5916(2)ų,Z=8,D _x=1.35 g/cm³,T=295 K. The structure has been solved by direct methods and refined to the finalR value of 0.084 for 1828 reflections. In the structure H-bonded gossypol molecules form columns, generating channels in the structure which are filled by guest molecules. After decomposition (desolvation) monocrystals of the complexes are conserved without destruction, in which there are rather wide and empty channels though slightly smaller than in the complex. An attempt is made to explain some peculiarities of the behavior of the gossypol polymorph formed on the basis of its structure with empty channels.

The crystal and molecular structure of tris(m-chlorophenyl)phosphine selenide, C₁₈H₁₂Cl₃PSe (I), was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The trigonal rhombohedral structure of I (space group \(R\overline 3 c\), a = 14.110(2) Å, c = 32.360(4) Å, Z = 12) was solved by direct methods and refined by least squares in an anisotropic approximation (R = 0.029) for 1319 averaged measured reflections (CAD-4 automatic diffractometer, λCuK_α).

Single-Molecule single crystals of isotactic polystyrene

Single-molecule single crystals were grown from amorphous droplets of fractionated isotactic polystyrene. The crystals were analyzed by electron microscopy and electron diffraction. The molecular mass distribution could be matched with a statistical analysis of single-molecule particles (amorphous and crystals). Proof was brought that single molecules of isotactic polystyrene do not reach equilibrium dimensions on crystallization, rather assume the lamellar morphology with chain-folded macroconformation, also known from crystallization of polymolecular crystals. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

单分散纳米InVO4(正交相)的低温合成

InVO₄ is a new developed visible light responding photocatalyst for water decomposition, which is obtained by a solid-state reaction at high temperature traditionally. In this paper, pure InVO₄ nano-crystalline powder has been prepared by a hydrothermal process at low temperature and was characterized by TEM, IR, and X-ray diffraction. Many factors such as pH value, reaction time and temperature have been investigated. It is found that the optimal conditions for the preparation is: n_InCl3∶n_NaVO3=1∶2; temperature : 150 ℃; Reaction time: 4～8 h; pH=7.9～8.0. And the experimental result shows that it is a convenient way to get single dispersing InVO₄ nano-crystalline powder by flux in alkyl alcohol.     

黄孢展齿革菌菌丝球同时吸附铅镉离子的动力学

采用间歇法，利用黄孢展齿革菌菌丝球吸附溶液中的Pb^2 和Cd^2 ，研究Pb^2 和Cd^2 共存体系中吸附初速率随初始浓度的变化规律。实验结果表明，少量Cd^2 的存在促进其对Pb^2 的吸附，并提高吸附初速率，但随着Cd^2 初始浓度的增加，促进作用逐渐减弱并转为抑制作用；Cd^2 的吸附初速率随着Pb^2 初始浓度增大而减小；Pb^2 和Cd^2 的吸附初速率都随自身初始浓度的增加而增大。

Adsorption of the fluoride ion on the surface of various faces of a single crystal of silver: a quantum-chemical study

The fluoride ion adsorption from a gas phase on various faces of a single crystal of silver is studied by a density functional method within a cluster model for metal. The adsorption bond energy is found to increase in the series Ag(100) < Ag(111) < Ag(311) < Ag(110). A substantial structural and energetic heterogeneity of various adsorption sites is revealed. The results are utilized to simulate the electrochemical interface between individual faces of a single crystal of silver and aqueous solutions containing the fluoride ion. It is assumed that the adsorption potential may be represented as the sum of two contributions, one of which describes the metal–ion interaction and the other, the ion solvation energy. The plotted adsorption terms take into account partial degradation of the fluoride ion when adsorbed from an aqueous solution. Estimates of discreteness of the electrical double layer are presented. A conclusion on the maximum manifestation of specific adsorption of the fluoride ion for the Ag(100) face is made.Translated from Elektrokhimiya, Vol. 41, No. 2, 2005, pp. 232–238.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Nazmutdinov, Zinkicheva.This revised version was published online in April 2005 with corrections to the article note and article title and cover date.     

Towards advanced circuit board materials: adhesion of copper foil to ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene composite

Polyethylene based composites are attractive materials for advanced circuit board applications because of their unique combination of properties: low dielectric constant and loss factor, light weight, high flexural modulus and low thermal expansion coefficient controlled in all spatial directions. This investigation describes a process to consolidate chopped fibers of ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene concurrently with its bonding to a copper foil. Bonding is affected by a thin sheet of low‐density polyethylene, incorporating a crosslinking agent with a concentration gradient across the sheets thickness. In this single step process, the composite material is formed and bonded to the metal foil, achieving good adhesion without the use of extraneous glue. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Multiplex amplified product-length polymorphism analysis of 36 mitochondrial single-nucleotide polymorphisms for haplogrouping of East Asian populations

We present a reliable, rapid, and economical multiplex amplified product-length polymorphism (APLP) method for analyzing the haplogroup-diagnostic mitochondrial single-nucleotide polymorphisms (mtSNPs) in East Asian populations. By examining only 36 haplogroup-specific mtSNPs in the coding region by using four 9-multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and subsequent electrophoresis, we could safely assign 1815 individuals from 8 populations of Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and Germans to 45 relevant haplogroups. This multiplex APLP analysis of coding-region mtSNPs for haplogrouping is especially useful not only for molecular phylogenetic studies but also for large-scale association studies due to its rapid and economical nature. This is the first panel of mtSNPs in the coding region to be used for haplogrouping of East Asian populations.
