Synthesis,Application, and Molecular Recognition Mechanism Study of Phenylalanine Molecularly Imprinted Polymer

Abstract

Phenylalanine molecularly imprinted polymer was synthesized in the presence of triflouroacetic acid. HPLC‐MS evaluation showed it had good affinity toward its template among 16 amino acid mixtures. It was used for quantification of phenylalanine in protein hydrolysis solution and in serum without sample pre‐treatment. Further study revealed the molecular recognition mechanism involved size exclusion, hydrophobic interaction, and hydrogen bonding interaction. The molecularly imprinted polymer presented here can be used for actual sample analysis and the well characterized recognition mechanism can benefit the design, synthesis, and application of MIP.     

Electrochemical Behavior of Hydrogen Peroxide at a Glassy Carbon Electrode Modified with Nickel Hydroxide–Decorated Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes

Abstract

The multiwalled carbon nanotube–nickel hydroxide composite film used to modify glassy carbon electrode was prepared and confirmed by transmission electron microscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The process and mechanism of film formation were discussed in detail. The electrode modified with the composite film exhibited good catalytic activity toward electrochemical oxidation of hydrogen peroxide in 0.1 mol/L sodium hydroxide solution. Various factors affecting the electrocatalytic activity of nickel hydroxide film were investigated. The anodic peak current increased with the increased concentration of hydrogen peroxide. The linear range for the determination of hydrogen peroxide was from 1.5 × 10^?6 mol/L to 2.5 × 10^?3 mol/L with the detection limit 6.1 × 10^?7 mol/L (S/N = 3). And the proposed method was applied to the determination of hydrogen peroxide in disinfector with higher sensitivity and lower detection limit.     

Direct Electrochemistry of Hemoglobin in Cerium Dioxide/Carbon Nanotubes/Chitosan for Amperometric Detection of Hydrogen Peroxide

Abstract

A novel hemoglobin (Hb) biosensor based on the remarkable synergistic effects of cerium dioxide (CeO₂) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) for detection of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is presented. The Hb/CeO₂/MWNTs/CHIT nanocomposite was nanoengineered by selected matched material components and optimized composition ratio to produce a superior H₂O₂ sensor. The preparation method is quite simple and practical. This composite matrix combined the advantages of MWNTs, CeO₂ nanoparticles, and chitosan (CHIT), with good electron-transfer ability, attractive biocompatibility, and fine film-forming ability, which could increase Hb attachment quantity and H₂O₂ detection sensitivity. In the optimum pH 7.0 phosphate buffer, the electrocatalytic response exhibited a linear dependence on H₂O₂ concentration in a wide range from 5.0 × 10^?6 to 4.6 × 10^?4 mol L^?1 with a detection limit of 6.5 × 10^?7 mol/L (3σ).     

Oxidation of methyl phenyl sulfide with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by Ti(IV)-substituted heteropolytungstate

Alkylammonium salts of Ti(IV)-substituted heteropolytungstate, PW₁₁TiO ₁₀ ⁵⁻ , catalyze the oxidation of methyl phenyl sulfide with hydrogen peroxide. The yield of the corresponding sulfoxide and sulfone is practically quantitative. A³¹P NMR study confirms the formation and reactivity of the PW₁₁O₃₉TiO ₂ ⁵⁻ peroxo complex in organic media.

New Hexazirconium Clusters Containing Hydrogen Atoms

Reduction of ZrBr₄ with HSnBu₃ yielded a blue solid. When this blue solid was treated with PMe₃, a hexanuelear cluster [Zr₆Br₁₄H₄( PMe₃)₄] (2) was isolated. Reaction of the blue solid with [PPh₄]Br in CH₂Cl₂ resulted in the formation of a paramagnetic and unstable cluster anion, [Zr₆Br₁₈H₅]^2– (3), which disproportionated to form a new cluster anion, [Zr₆Br₁₈H₅]^3– (4) and some Zr(IV) species. Compounds containing 4 can also be obtained from reaction of the blue solid with Br^– in MeCN. Reduction of ZrCl₄ with HsnBu₃ gave a red–brown solid, and [Zr₆Cl₁₄H₄(AsMe₃)₄] (9) and [Zr₅Cl₁₂H₄(AsMe₃)₅](8) were obtained by reaction of the red–brown solid with AsMe₃. No cluster compounds containing amine ligands were obtained in the reaction of the red–brown solid with amines; only compounds containing the [Zr₆Cl₁₈ H₅]^3– anion and ammonium cations were isolated. Altogether ten products were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction and where possible, by ¹H NMR studies.

Dirhodium(II)-catalyzed carbonyl ylide generation. Stereoelectronic control in dioxolane formation

The combination of ethyl diazoacetate with aryl aldehydes in the presence of copper(I) or rhodium(II) catalysts results in the formation of 1,3-dioxolane products in moderate to good yields. These reactions occur through a pathway that involves ylide intermediates. Catalyst-dependent diastereocontrol is observed and suggests that metal-associated ylides are involved in the product-determining step. The influence of aryl aldehyde substituents has been determined. Current address. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 5, pp. 961–965, May, 1998.
