1,3-取代方酸衍生物非线性光学性质的从头算和半经验方法的比较研究

The structures of 1,3-substituted squaraine derivatives Sq1 ～ Sq12 were fully optimized by ab initio HF method with 6-31G* basis set level,and the electronic structures of Sq1 ～ Sq12 were also calculated. Based on the optimized structures,the electronic spectra were obtained by the CIS / 6-31G* method,which suggested that the max absorption wavelength mainly resulted from the electronic transition from HOMO to LUMO. The second nonlinear optical coefficients（β0）were calculated using ab initio CPHF method at 6-31G* basis set level and FF / AM1,FF / PM3,FF / MNDO,FF / MINDO3 methods. A systematic comparison between the results was carried out. It indicated that the second nonlinear optical coefficients were affected dramatically by the properties of five-membered hetero-rings. β0 can be enhanced by introducing pyrrole,thiazole and oxazole. The position of five-membered rings containing two heteroatoms which were connected with four-membered squaraine rings also affected β0 .     

Preconcentration and atomic spectrometric determination of rare earth elements (REEs) in natural water samples by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry

The usage of a variety of sorbents has been shown as promising matrix removal/preconcentration strategies for the determination of rare earth elements (REEs) in various natural water samples by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). The sorption efficiency of various zeolites (clinoptilolite, mordenite, zeolite Y, zeolite Beta), ion-exchangers (Amberlite CG-120, Amberlite IR-120, Rexyn 101, Dowex 50W X18) and chelating resins (Muromac, Chelex 100, Amberlite IRC-718) towards REEs was investigated in terms of solution pH, shaking time and sorbent amount. The results have shown that most of the materials can take up REEs at a wide pH range. The experiments were continued with clinoptilolite, zeolite Y and Chelex 100 and it was demonstrated that all three materials displayed very fast kinetics for REE sorption (higher than 96% in 1 min). Desorption from the sorbents was realized with 2.0 M HNO₃ for clinoptilolite and 0.1 M HNO₃ for zeolite Y and Chelex 100. Only the lower concentration range (0.01-2.0 mg l⁻¹) of matrix-matched standards were used in quantitation although the calibration graphs were linear at least up to 10.0 mg l⁻¹ for all REEs studied. The limit of detection (3 s) without preconcentration was 0.1, 1.0, and 0.2 μg l⁻¹ for Eu, La, and Yb, respectively. The validity of the method with the selected sorbents was checked through spike recovery experiments.     

Conduction stability of high-density polyethylene/carbon black composites due to electric field action

Conduction stability of high-density polyethylene/carbon black (HDPE/CB) composites with a CB volume fraction slightly above the percolation threshold is studied in relation to electric field action at various ambient temperatures below the melting point of HDPE. It is found that resistance of the composites shows considerable changes after the electric field is switched off. Influence of irradiation crosslinking of HDPE on the conduction stability is also discussed.     

On-line coupling of in-tube boronate affinity solid phase microextraction with high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry for the determination of cis-diol biomolecules

Boronate affinity solid phase microextraction (BA-SPME) is a new format appeared recently with great potential for specific extraction of cis-diol-containing compounds. Unlike conventional SPME, BA-SPME relies on covalent interactions and thereby features with specific selectivity, eliminated matrix effect and manipulable capture/release. However, only on-fiber BA-SPME and its off-line combination with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) have been reported so far. In this study, we report on-line coupling of in-tube BA-SPME with HPLC-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectroscopy (in-tube BA-SPME-HPLC-ESI-MS/MS) for the specific and sensitive determination of cis-diol-containing biomolecules. A boronate affinity extraction phase was prepared onto the inner surface of the capillary by copolymerization of vinylphenylboronic acid (VPBA) and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA). The extraction conditions were optimized by choosing appropriate extraction/desorption solutions and extraction time. The extraction capacity, linear range, reproducibility and life-time were investigated. The developed method was successfully applied for the determination of dopamine in urine samples. Since many cis-diol-containing compounds are of great biological importance, the in-tube BA-SPME-HPLC method can be a promising tool.     

Chemical fingerprint analysis of Phellodendri Amurensis Cortex by ultra performance LC/Q-TOF-MS methods combined with chemometrics

Ultra performance LC with quadrupole TOF MS (UPLC/Q‐TOF‐MS) fingerprinting is first developed for the identification of the major components of Phellodendri Amurensis Cortex (PAC). The PAC samples are separated using a Waters ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 (2.1×50 mm, 1.7 μm) by linear gradient elution using water (containing 0.2% formic acid) and acetonitrile (containing 0.2% formic acid) as the mobile phase. Ten batches of PAC are selected to construct the UPLC/Q‐TOF‐MS fingerprint. Sixteen common peaks in the fingerprint are obtained, ten of which are tentatively identified, with reference to the literature data, as phellodendrine, magnoflorine, tetrahydropjatrorrhizine, menisperine, tetrahydropalmatine, jatrorrhizine, palmatine, berberine, obacunone, and limonin. Chemometric methods are also employed to evaluate the variation of herbal drugs and other closely related herbs based on the characteristics of peaks in the UPLC/Q‐TOF‐MS profiles. The developed fingerprint assay is a powerful method that may be used to conduct quality control of PAC.     

Matrix-free analysis of aflatoxins in pistachio nuts using parallel factor modeling of liquid chromatography diode-array detection data

In the present study a second-order calibration strategy for high performance liquid chromatography with diode-array detection (HPLC-DAD) has been developed using parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) and has been applied for simultaneous determination of aflatoxins B₁, B₂, G₁ and G₂ in pistachio nuts in the presence of matrix interferences. Sample preparation was based on solvent extraction (SE) followed by solid phase extraction (SPE) on Bond Elut C18 cartridges. Since the sample preparation procedure was not selective to the analytes of interest, exploiting second-order advantage to obtain concentrations of individual analytes in the presence of uncalibrated interfering compounds seemed necessary. Appropriate pre-processing steps have been applied to correct background signals and the effect of retention time shifts. Transferred calibration data set obtained from standardization of solvent based calibration data has been used in prediction step. The results of PARAFAC on a set of spiked and naturally contaminated pistachio nuts indicated that the four aflatoxins could be successfully determined. The method was validated and multivariate analytical figures of merit were calculated. The advantages of the proposed method are using a low-cost SPE step relative to standard method of aflatoxin analysis (immune affinity column assay), a unique and simple isocratic elution program for all samples and a calibration transfer for saving both chemicals and time of analysis. This study show that coupling of SPE-HPLC-DAD with PARAFAC as a powerful second-order calibration method can be considered as an alternative method for resolution and quantification of aflatoxins in the presence of unknown interferences obtained through analysis of highly complex matrix of pistachio samples and cost per analysis can be reduced significantly.     

A rapid, acetonitrile-free, HPLC method for determination of melamine in infant formula

A simple, precise, accurate and validated, acetonitrile-free, reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method is developed for the determination of melamine in dry and liquid infant formula. The separation is performed on a Kromasil C18 column (150 mm × 3.2 mm I.D., 5 μm particle size) at room temperature. The mobile phase (0.1% TFA/methanol 90:10) is pumped at a flow rate of 0.3 mL min⁻¹ with detection at 240 nm. Melamine elutes at 3.7 min. A linear response (r > 0.999) is observed for samples ranging from 1.0 to 80 μg mL⁻¹. The method provides recoveries of 97.2-101.2% in the concentration range of 5-40 μg mL⁻¹, intra- and inter-day variation in <1.0% R.S.D. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) values are 0.1 μg mL⁻¹ and 0.2 μg mL⁻¹, respectively.     

Fluorescence line narrowing spectroscopy of Eu in zinc-thallium-tellurite glass

The environment of Eu³⁺ in zinc-thallium-tellurite glass of the molar composition 60TeO₂-30TlO_0.5-9.9ZnO-0.1Eu₂O₃ was investigated by laser-induced fluorescence line narrowing (FLN) techniques using Eu³⁺ as a local site probe. From the site selective luminescence spectra of Eu³⁺ at 7 K, the energies of the Stark components of the ⁷F₁ and ⁷F₂ states were recorded and then the crystal field parameters B_nm were calculated assuming a C_2v site symmetry. The ratios B₂₂/B₂₀ and B₄₄/B₄₀ for each excitation energy within ⁷F₀-⁵D₀ transition were obtained and compared with the values calculated for Eu³⁺ in other types of glasses.
