8-羟基喹啉锂的光电性能和取代基效应的密度泛函理论

采用密度泛函理论(DFT)较为系统地研究了给、吸电子取代基对8-羟基喹啉锂(Liq)光电性能的影响。研究结果表明:不同取代基与母体形成不同的共轭,取代基—CN、—OCH3很好地参与了整个π体系共轭,对体系性质影响较大;吸电子基—CF3、—CN、—Cl在5-位取代都使Liq的最高占据轨道(HOMO)、最低空轨道(LUMO)能级降低;给电子基—CH3、—CH3CH2CH2、—OCH3在5-位取代都使Liq的LUMO、HOMO升高,带隙减小,给电性越强,影响越显著;—CN在5-位取代,显著增加了Liq的电子亲和势,降低了电子重组能,使电子更易于注入和传输。与Liq及其它衍生物相比,5-CN-Liq是一种更好的电子注入和传输材料。     

Substituent effect on electron affinity,gas‐phase basicity,and structure of monosubstituted propargyl radicals and their anions: a theoretical study

The substituent effect of electron‐withdrawing groups on electron affinity and gas‐phase basicity has been investigated for substituted propargyl radicals and their corresponding anions. It is shown that when a hydrogen of the α‐CH₂ group or acetylenic CH in the propargyl system is substituted by an electron‐withdrawing substituent, electron affinity increases, whereas gas‐phase basicity decreases. The calculated electron affinities are 0.95 eV (CH?C? CH₂?), 1.15 eV (CH?C? CHF?), 1.38 eV (CH?C? CHCl?), 1.48 eV (CH?C? CHBr?) for the isomers with terminal CH and 1.66 eV (CF?C? CH₂?), 1.70 eV (CCl?C? CH₂?), 1.86 eV (CBr?C? CH₂?) for the isomers with terminal CX at B3LYP level. The calculated gas‐phase basicities for their anions are 378.4 kcal/mol (CH?C? CH₂:^?), 371.6 kcal/mol (CH?C? CHF:^?), 365.1 kcal/mol (CH?C? CHCl:^?), 363.5 kcal/mol (CH?C? CHBr:^?) for the isomers with terminal CH and 362.6 kcal/mol (CF?C? CH₂:^?), 360.4 kcal/mol (CCl?C? CH₂:^?), 356.3 kcal/mol (CBr?C? CH₂:^?) for the isomers with terminal CX at B3LYP level. It is concluded that the larger the magnitude of electron‐withdrawing, the greater is the electron affinity of radical and the smaller is the gas‐phase basicity of its anion. This tendency of the electron affinities and gas‐phase bacisities is greater in isomers with the terminal CX than isomers with the terminal CH. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Chiral lateral optical force near plasmonic ring induced by Laguerre-Gaussian beam

Owing to the good adjustability and the strong near-field enhancement, surface plasmons are widely used in optical force trap, thus the optical force trap can achieve excellent performance. Here, we use the Laguerre-Gaussian beam and a plasmonic gold ring to separate enantiomers by the chiral optical force. Along with the radial optical force that traps the particles, there is also a chirality-sign-sensitive lateral force arising from the optical spin angular momentum, which is caused by the interaction between optical orbit angular momentum and gold ring structure. By selecting a specific incident wavelength, the strong angular scattering and non-chiral related azimuthal optical force can be suppressed. Thus the chiral related azimuthal optical force can induce an opposite orbital rotation of the trapped particles with chirality of different sign near the gold ring. This work proposes an effective approach for catchingand separating chiral enantiomers.     

Characterization of the B4 phase by dielectric and AFM measurements

Dielectric measurements on a sample consisting of banana-shaped molecules were carried out in a frequency range between 0.1 Hz and 10 MHz. The sample exhibited B₂ and B₄ phases. As usual, two ranges of relaxation were detected in the B₂ phase, the fast reorientation about the long axes of the molecules and a slow collective process. In the B₄ phase, only one dielectric active process at low frequencies was found; this does not differ from the low frequency relaxation of the B₂ modification. This relaxation is probably related to the dynamics of superstructures. Crystallization could be observed after keeping the sample for a longer time at higher temperature. Thus, it was possible to differentiate clearly between the crystalline and the B₄ phases. AFM investigations prove the existence of focal-conic domains and periodic superstructures in the B₄ phase; then do not appear in the crystalline state. For this reason the B₄ phase is regarded as different from a classical crystalline phase.     

Activation of the Nrf2 Pathway as a Therapeutic Strategy for ALS Treatment

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a progressive and fatal disease that causes motoneurons degeneration and functional impairment of voluntary muscles, with limited and poorly efficient therapies. Alterations in the Nrf2-ARE pathway are associated with ALS pathology and result in aberrant oxidative stress, making the stimulation of the Nrf2-mediated antioxidant response a promising therapeutic strategy in ALS to reduce oxidative stress. In this review, we first introduce the involvement of the Nrf2 pathway in the pathogenesis of ALS and the role played by astrocytes in modulating such a protective pathway. We then describe the currently developed activators of Nrf2, used in both preclinical animal models and clinical studies, taking into consideration their potentialities as well as the possible limitations associated with their use.

An estimated quantitative lateral flow immunoassay for determination of artesunate using monoclonal antibody

There have been reports of fake artesunate (ART), which has led to deaths from untreated malaria in South East Asia. To rapidly screen for fake and adulterated ART products in the drug market, a lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) based on a colloidal gold–monoclonal antibody probe for detection of ART within samples was developed. With this method, the calibration curve for ART was determined by the intensity ratio of the test and control bands at various ART concentrations. The linearity range was 12.5–200 μg/ml of ART. Samples were tested by the developed LFIA and can be calculated for ART contents. The levels of ART in the samples were also confirmed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The results of the two methods were in good conformance. The proposed LFIA was demonstrated to be a simple and rapid analytical method for detecting ART in the pharmaceutical formulation.     

High-voltage super-junction lateral double-diffused metal-oxide semiconductor with a partial lightly doped pillar

A novel super-junction lateral double-diffused metal-oxide semiconductor(SJ-LDMOS) with a partial lightly doped P pillar(PD) is proposed.Firstly,the reduction in the partial P pillar charges ensures the charge balance and suppresses the substrate-assisted depletion effect.Secondly,the new electric field peak produced by the P/P-junction modulates the surface electric field distribution.Both of these result in a high breakdown voltage(BV).In addition,due to the same conduction paths,the specific on-resistance(R on,sp) of the PD SJ-LDMOS is approximately identical to the conventional SJ-LDMOS.Simulation results indicate that the average value of the surface lateral electric field of the PD SJ-LDMOS reaches 20V/μm at a 15μm drift length,resulting in a BV of 300V.
