NARROW-DISPERSED CROSSLINKED CORE-SHELL POLYMER MICROSPHERES PREPARED BY SURFACE-INITIATED ATOM TRANSFER RADICAL POLYMERIZATION＊

Grafting of polystyrene with narrowly dispersed polymer microspheres through surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) was investigated. Polydivinylbenzene (PDVB) microspheres were prepared by dispersion polymerization with poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) as stabilizer. The surfaces of PDVB microspheres were chloromethylated by chloromethyl methyl ether in the presence of zinc chloride as catalyst to form chloromethylbenzene initiating core sites for subsequent ATRP grafting of styrene using CuCl/bpy as catalytic system. Polystyrene was found to be grafted not only from the particle surfaces but also from within a thin shell layer, resulting in the formation of particles size increased from 2.38-2.58μm, which can further grow to 2.93μm during secondary grafting polymerization of styrene. This demonstrates that grafting polymerization proceeds through a typical ATRP procedure with living nature. All of the prepared microspheres have narrow particle size distribution with coefficient of variation around 10%.

Volumetric properties of ethanol–water mixtures under high temperatures and pressures

The densities of ethanol and ethanol–water mixtures were measured with a vibrating tube densimeter at 25.0, 50.0 and 75.0 °C in the pressure range from 0.10 to 40.00 MPa. Densities were correlated using an empirical model. Partial molar volumes, excess molar volumes, isothermal compressibilities, cubic expansion coefficients and internal pressures were calculated from obtained densities. This study reports the dependence of densities, partial molar volumes, excess molar volumes, isothermal compressibilities, cubic expansion coefficients and internal pressures on composition, temperature and pressure.     

Hartree–Fock and density functional theory calculations for the reaction mechanism of nitric oxide reductase cytochrome P450nor from Fusarium oxysporum

A reaction mechanism of a nitric oxide reductase, cytochrome P450nor (P450nor) from Fusarium oxysporum, was clarified by using Density functional theory and Hartree–Fock calculations. In this reaction mechanism, molecular orbital (MO) analysis revealed that the NO ligand dissociates from the heme iron immediately after one-electron reduction by NADH, and MO energy analysis revealed that NADH acts as a one-electron reducer, not as a two-electron reducer, and that NADH has a pivotal role different from other one-electron reducers. The role of NADH is to act as a double one-electron donor (i.e. one-electron transfer occurring twice) and to combine with the NO⁻ molecule by charge recombination reaction. Our quantum chemical calculations indicated that all reactions occurring in the heme pocket are too fast to become rate-limiting. Therefore, the rate-limiting steps in the proposed reaction mechanism are the process of capturing NO and NADH into the heme pocket and the process of expelling a product generated in the heme pocket. Kinetics of these processes was discussed based on large-amplitude vibration, which helps capturing and expelling processes in a widely opened heme pocket of P450nor. The reaction mechanism proposed here well explains published experimental data.     

Self-Diffusion Coefficients for Pure and Mixed Adsorbate Fluids in Narrow Pores

The equilibrium distribution and the concentration dependence of the local and average self-diffusion coefficients for pure fluid and binary mixture components in narrow slitlike pores were analyzed. The coefficients were calculated using the lattice gas model in the quasi-chemical approximation on the assumption of a spherical shape and approximately equal sizes of the components. For the pure adsorbate, these calculations were compared with molecular dynamics simulations. Both methods gave similar concentration profile changes and dynamic characteristics of interlayer particle redistributions in strong nonuniform adsorption fields for dense fluids. A satisfactory agreement was obtained for the temperature dependences of the self-diffusion coefficients along the pore axis. The influence of the molecule–wall potential and of intermolecular interaction were considered. The self-diffusion coefficients of the adsorbate were shown to strongly depend on the density of the mixture and the distance from pore walls.
