8-羟基喹啉单体及二聚体质子转移反应的理论研究

Density functional theory （DFT） of quantum chemistry method was employed to investigate proton transfer reactions of 8-hydroxyquinoline （8-HQ） monomers and dimers. By studying the potential energy curves of the isomerization, the most possible reaction pathway was found. The total energy of 8-hydroxyquinoline was lower than that of quinolin-8（1H）-one, whereas the order was reversed in dimers. The findings explained the contrary experimental phenomena. The minimum reaction barrier of intramolecular proton transfer was 47.3 kJ/mol while that in dimer was only 25.7 kJ/mol. Hence it is obvious that proton transfer reactions of 8-HQ monomer have a considerable rate but it is easier to proceed for 8-HQ dimer than monomers. It implied that the hydrogen bond played an important role in depressing the activation energy of reaction. The mechanism of the tautomerization was discussed on the basis of theoretical results.     

Recent Advances in Electropolymerized Conducting Polymers in Amperometric Biosensors

Conducting electroactive polymers (CPs) are materials discovered just over 20 years ago which have aroused considerable interest on account of their electronic conducting properties and unique chemical and biochemical properties. Consequently, they have numerous (bio)analytical and technological applications. CPs are easily synthesized and deposited onto the conductive surface of a given substrate from monomer solutions by electrochemical polymerization with precise electrochemical control of their formation rate and thickness. Coating electrodes with CPs under mild conditions opens up enormous possibilities for the immobilization of biomolecules and bioaffinity or biorecognizing reagents, the improvement of their electrocatalytic properties, rapid electron transfer and direct communication to produce a range of analytical signals and new analytical applications. Co-immobilization of other molecules (enzymatic co-factors or charge-transfer mediators) by entrapment within electropolymerized films or by covalent binding on these films permits straightforward fabrication of reagentless biosensors. The characteristics of CPs and their uses, mainly in amperometric biosensors, are reviewed. The most recent applications and lines of research related to CP films are summarized in the different sections of the paper, and probable future trends are discussed.     

Electrophysical properties of titanates of alkaline-earth metals

Results on oxygen-ion, electron, and proton conduction and oxygen penetrability of titanates of alkaline-earth metals doped with acceptor admixtures are briefly reviewed. The applicability of these materials in electrochemical devices, in particular, as oxygen-penetrable membranes, is considered. The focus is on the studies carried out at the Institute of High-Temperature Electrochemistry, Ural Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences.     

The effect of the steric hindrance on metallic cation conduction in polymer electrolytes

2,6-Di-t-butylphenol and oligo(ethylene oxide) bound covalently to polyisocyanate were synthesized and characterized. The ionic conductivities of their Li, Na, and K phenolates were studied at various temperatures. The conductivities were in the range of 10^?7?10^?5 S/cm at 30°C. The conductivity of Na and K salts was approximately 10² greater than that of the Li salts. The t-butyl groups serve to dissociate K and Na ions from the phenoxide. The cations, therefore, are more mobile as a result increasing the conductivity. The temperature dependence of ionic conductivity suggests that the migration of ions is controlled by segmental motion of the polymer, shown by linear curves obtained in Vogel–Tammann–Fulchere plots. The polyisocyanate backbone is a rather stiff structure, however, a flexible oligo(ethylene oxide) side chain forms complexes with metal ion. Since the ion transport is associated with the local movement of polymer segments, the rigidity of the polymer backbone does not have much influence on the ion mobility.     

吡咯和呋喃气相质子化过程的密度泛函理论研究

Density functional theory and ab initio calculations have been used to determine structures and stabilities of the protonated aromatics species AH^＋ and AH2^2＋ （A=pyrrole, furan）. Possible mechanisms and relative energetics for protonation of pyrrole and furan by H3O^＋ and AH^＋ in the gas phase have been explored. Calculations show that the Cα-protonated species was the most stable structure for AH^＋, and the protonated AH^＋ might accommodate the second proton to yield AH2^2＋ if the free proton was available. The gas-phase H3O^＋ could protonate pyrrole and furan with significant exothermiCity and almost without barrier. The proton transfer from AH4^＋ to pyrrole and furan has a barrier ranging from 33.5 to 39.3 kJ/mol in the gas phase.     

Cationic Heteroconjugation Constants in the OHN+ and NHO+ Systems in Propylene Carbonate: Dependence on Difference in Basicity

Cationic heteroconjugation equilibria of more than ninety systems consisting of substituted pyridines, their N-oxides, and trimethylamine N-oxide, i. e., in systems with mixed hydrogen bridges of type OHN⁺ (NHO⁺) were studied in propylene carbonate. Both experimental systems without proton transfer, BH⁺/B₁, and those with proton transfer, B₁H⁺/B, were explored. The stability of the mixed hydrogen bridges, OHN⁺ (NHO⁺), is compared with that of the OHC⁺-type bridges. The influence of the difference in basicity of the conjugate base of the proton donor and the proton acceptor on the presence of the proton transfer equilibria, and, consequently, the possibility of determination of the cationic heteroconjugation constant values is discussed.

Theoretical study of intermolecular proton transfer reaction in isolated 5-hydroxyisoxazole–water complexes

A systematic investigation in isolated 5-hydroxyisoxazole–water complexes (5-HIO · (H₂O)_nn = 1–3) is performed at the DFT level, employing B3LYP/6-31G(d, p) basis set. Single-point energy calculations are also performed at the MP2 level using B3LYP/6-31G(d, p) optimized geometries and the 6-311++G(d, p) basis set. The computational results show that the keto tautomer K₂ is the most stable isomer in the gas phase, and the tautomer K₁ to be the next most stable tautomer. Hydrogen bonding between HIO and the water molecule(s) will dramatically lower the barrier by a concerted multiple proton transfer mechanism. The proton transfer process of 3WE_cis ↔ 3WK₁ and 2WE_trans ↔ 2WK₂ is found to be more efficient in two tautomerization, and the barrier heights are 7.03 and 14.15 kcal/mol at B3LYP/6-31G(d, p) level, respectively. However, the proton transfer reaction between E_cis and K₁ cannot happen without solvent-assisted.
