高职扩招背景下食品化学混合式教学设计的重构与实践*

在全国高职院校扩大招生背景下,高职院校的扩招生表现出与统招生不同的学习特点和学习基础,根据扩招生的学情特点和课程标准,对已有混合式教学模式的食品化学课程,从课时设置、课前、课中、课后等几个方面重新进行教学设计和实施。利用线上学习成绩、线下课堂成绩、期末成绩等多维度评价理论课学习效果。结合调查问卷分析学生对混合式教学的评价,表明扩招生的学习自律性和主动性有明显提高,考试不及格率下降,学生对混合式教学的认同度也较高。通过教学重构力图达到教学形式灵活多样,培养标准不降低的目的,并培养学生良好的学习习惯,树立学好课程的信心。

Calix[4]arene-Based Triple-Stranded Metallohelicate in Water

The title complex is a triple-stranded metallohelicate organized by the self-assembly of 5,17-difunctionalized calix[4]arenes and metal cations with octahedral coordination geometry. Due to hydrophilic triethylene glycol chains on the lower rim of the calix[4]arene, the metallohelicate can encapsulate cationic guests in water. NMR and UV-vis titration experiments reveal that the metallohelicate captures a pyridinium guest with an alanine derivative to form a host-guest complex with a host-guest ratio of 1 : 1. CD spectroscopy confirms the bias of the P- and M-helical sense of the metallohelicate by the captured guest. The metallohelicate captures two molecules of dicationic N,N’-dimethyl-DABCO and monocationic N-methyl quinuclidine, exhibiting a positive allosteric effect. ¹H NMR titration experiments indicate that the bound guests are in close proximately to the aromatic rings of the ligands. Molecular mechanics calculations based on the UV-vis and NMR observations suggest that the first guest preorganizes the conformation of the metallohelicate to facilitate access of the second guest to the cavity.     

Tuning protonation states of tripelennamine antihistamines by cucurbit[7]uril

The formation of host–guest complexes of cucurbit[7]uril (CB7) with the antihistamine drug tripelennamine (TRP) was studied by optical and NMR spectroscopy. The experimental and computational results are consistent with inclusion of a single TRP molecule in CB7. Addition of CB7 has tuned drug protonation states associated with (de)protonation of the ethyldimethylammonium and exocyclic nitrogens with an increase in the associated pK_a values by 1.5 and 2.5 units, respectively. The incorporation of antihistamines drugs such as TRP in cucurbiturils could be utilized for switching their capability for selective binding to histamine H₁‐receptors, in the future.

High-temperature measurements of the rates of the reactions CH2O + Ar → Products and CH2O + O2 → Products

The two-channel thermal decomposition of formaldehyde [CH₂O], (1a) CH₂O + Ar → HCO + H + Ar, and (1b) CH₂O + Ar → H₂ + CO + Ar, was studied in shock tube experiments in the 2258-2687 K temperature range, at an average total pressure of 1.6 atm. OH radicals, generated on shock heating trioxane-O₂-Ar mixtures, were monitored behind the reflected shock front using narrow-linewidth laser absorption. 1,3,5 trioxane [C₃H₆O₃] was used as the CH₂O precursor in the current experiments. H-atoms formed upon CH₂O and HCO decomposition rapidly react with O₂ to produce OH via H + O₂ → O + OH. The recorded OH time-histories show dominant sensitivity to the formaldehyde decomposition pathways. The second-order reaction rate coefficients were inferred by matching measured and modeled OH profiles behind the reflected shock. Two-parameter fits for k_1a and k_1b, applicable in this temperature range, are:

     

The Journey of Ni(I) Chemistry

In the last twenty years, nickel has successfully imprinted its role in the field of homogeneous catalysis as a valid and complementary alternative to palladium and platinum catalysts. However, compared to those, there are often many different available pathways in nickel catalysis due to the facile access of intermediate oxidation states. Among them, Ni(I) has been increasingly proposed as a key oxidation state in multiple transformations. This oxidation state had already been suggested a long time ago but has only recently undergone a renaissance with extensive ligand design which has led to over 100 isolated Ni(I) complexes. In addition, the analysis of many catalytic cycles has revealed that the Ni(I) species can not only occur as a decomposition product perturbing a Ni(0)–Ni(II) pathway but can also play a key role in alternative Ni(I)–Ni(III) cycles. This behavior is highly dependent on the class of transformation and ligand employed in catalysis. Herein, we concisely describe the journey of this oxidation state, combining the information gathered from inorganic synthesis and mechanistic investigations, from its synthesis to its postulated role in different catalytic cycles.     

Selective alcohol oxidation catalysed BY FeCl3 /novel glycine functionalised IONIC liquid

An effective and eco-friendly technique were designated for quick alcohol oxidation by glycine functionalised imidazolium ionic liquids in presence of FeCl₃ at ambient-temperature. No over the primary alcohols oxidation to carbonyl compounds was observed in presence of this FeCl₃/[Gmim]Cl. These benefits of the catalyst resulted mainly from the circumstance with alcohols-H₂O₂, and the Fe³⁺ was coordinated by the immobilized IL to permitted both reactants to access the active sites of the catalyst effectively. The catalyst recycled nine times without loss of activity.
