Preparation of a novel molecularly imprinted polymer using a water-soluble crosslinking agent

A molecularly imprinted polymer was prepared using a water-soluble crosslinking agent. An ionic complex was utilized as the assembly for the template molecule and the functional monomer, and water as porogenic solvent during preparation of the imprinted polymer. The results of chromatographic evaluations for the prepared polymer suggested that the polymer had much lower hydrophobicity compared with usual octadecyl group bonded silica or the usual molecular imprinted polymer prepared from ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate, and the selective recognition ability for template molecule in the completely aqueous condition.     

Markov processes in single molecule fluorescence

This article examines the current status of Markov processes in single molecule fluorescence. For molecular dynamics to be described by a Markov process, the Markov process must include all states involved in the dynamics and the first-passage time (FPT) distributions out of those states must be describable by a simple exponential law. The observation of non-exponential FPT distributions or other evidence of non-Markovian dynamics is common in single molecule studies and offers an opportunity to expand the Markov model to include new dynamics or states that improve understanding of the system.

本文设计合成了一系列以咔唑(CZ)和吡咯并吡咯二酮(DPP)为基本结构单元的D-A结构的新型小分子材料,并对其进行了一系列的性能表征.合成的材料以咔唑作为给电子单元,吡咯并吡咯二酮作为吸电子单元,采用三键作为π桥,并引入4-氟苯基、4-氰基苯基和4-甲氧基苯基作为末端取代基团对材料进行修饰.其中材料CZBTDPPF和CZBTDPPO因分别具有1.85和1.79 eV的较窄带隙而分别获得了相对较高的的光电转化效率(1.97%和1.91%).由此可见,引入4-氟苯基和4-甲氧基苯基作为末端取代基团对于延长材料共轭结构、拓宽材料吸收从而实现材料光伏性能的提升具有重要的作用.     

Accurate Gaussian basis sets for the H2O molecule generated with the molecular improved generator coordinate Hartree–Fock method

The molecular improved generator coordinate Hartree–Fock (MIGCHF) method is used to generate accurate basis sets of primitive Gaussian-type functions for the H₂O molecule. Sequences of increasing size atom centered basis sets are employed to explore the accuracy that can be achieved with this method. Using the O(24s14p8d5f2g1h);H(22s9p5d2f1g) basis set, the HF and second-order electron correlation energies of the H₂O ground state at the experimental geometry are computed as −76.0674680 and −0.3491935 hartree, respectively. The HF energy is in error by 20 μhartree and the second-order correlation energy corresponds to 96.5% of an estimate of the limiting value. The relevance of the present calculations is to show the accuracy that can be achieved in studies of small polyatomic molecules with the MIGCHF method.

In this paper, the surface imprinted cross-linked polystyrene beads were prepared via suspension polymerization with styrene (St), divinylbezene (DVB), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA1788),the mixture of Span 85 and xylene or the mixture of Span 85 and paraffin as monomer,cross-linking agent, dispersion stabilizer and templates, respectively. The results indicate that there are dense cavities on the surface of beads, and the diameter and density of cavity are related with the composition and amount of emulsion template.

选用1-乙烯基-3-乙基咪唑四氟硼酸盐([VElm]BF4,一种离子液体)作为功能单体,以Co2+为介导离子,结合1-丁基-3-甲基咪唑四氟硼酸盐([BMIM]BF4)/二甲基亚砜(DMSO)二元致孔体系制备了绿原酸印迹整体柱。经过对制备参数的考察,确定最佳比例为绿原酸:Co2+:[VElm]BF4:EDMA(乙二醇二甲基丙烯酸酯)(摩尔比)=1:1:5:20,[BMIM]BF4:DMSO=3:1(V/V),最大印迹因子达2.10。通过优化色谱条件,最终在乙腈:20 mmol/L乙酸钠缓冲液(pH 4.2)=70:30(V/V)时实现了绿原酸及其类似物的完全分离。由此可见,以离子液体为功能单体及致孔剂,在金属介导策略下制备的分子印迹聚合物可实现绿原酸的特异性识别及分离。     

Calculation of the van der Waals volumes of organic molecules

A new and more precise method is proposed for calculating van der Waals atomic and molecular volumes of organic compounds. The method provides for intersections of three or more spheres at one point of space. Such a possibility is essential for calculating the volumes of sterically overcrowded molecules and of molecules with intramolecular hydrogen bonds. A computer program for IBM PC/AT(XT) is developed. Depending on the atomic environment in the molecule, the average values of the volume increments for atoms C, N, O, H, F, Cl, and S are obtained using the data from the Cambridge Structural Database.N.

Hierarchical Structure‐Within‐Structure Morphologies in A2‐star‐(B‐alt‐C) Molecules

We employ dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) to examine the self‐assembly behavior of A₂‐star‐(B‐alt‐C) molecules. We successfully observe various types of hierarchical structure‐within‐structures, such as A‐formed spheres in the matrix formed by B and C alternating layers, hexagonally packed A‐formed cylinders in the matrix with B and C segregated layers, B and C alternating layers‐within‐lamellae, coaxial B and C alternating domains within hexagonally packed BC‐formed cylinders in the A‐matrix, and co‐centric BC‐alternating domains within BC‐formed spheres in the A‐matrix, by increasing the A composition. Generally speaking, the small length‐scale B and C segregated domains are in parallel to the large length‐scale structures. This hierarchical periodicity along the same axis as well as the various characteristic structures, that the A₂‐star‐(B‐alt‐C) copolymers display, are quite different from those in A‐block‐(B‐graft‐C) coil‐comb copolymers. Moreover, it is interesting to find that when the copolymer chain length increases, though the hierarchical structure type is maintained, the number of small length‐scale lamellae that can form within the large length‐scale structure increases. These hierarchical structures under various compositions are reported theoretically for the first time in the copolymer systems consisting of the alternating blocks, and are in good agreement with the most recent experimental work by Matsushita and co‐workers (Macromolecules 2007 , 40, 4023).
