Determination of Utratrace Silver Using Surfactant As Sensitizer by Catalytic Near Field Laser Thermal Lens Spectrometry

Thermal lens spectrometry (TLS) is an excellent tool for trace analysis1. TLS allows the detection of absorbances of 10-7～10-8, concentration of ≈ 10-11 mol稬-1 and the analysis of 10-15 L volumes with ≈10-2 absorbing molecules2. Kinetic analysis is playing an increasingly important part in modern analytical chemistry. Therefore, TLS shows much promise in combination with kinetic analysis. However, there are few data on TLS applications in kinetic analysis method so far3～4. A ne…     

Norvancomycin-capped silver nanoparticles: Synthesis and antibacterial activities against E. coli

The synthesis of norvancomycin (NVan)-capped silver nanoparticles (Ag@NVan) and their notable in vitro antibacterial activities against E. coli, a Gram-negative bacterial strain (GNB), are reported here. Mercaptoacetic acid-stabilized spherical silver nanoparticles with a diameter of 16±4 nm are prepared by a simple chemical reaction. The formation process of the silver nanoparticles is investigated by UV-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). NVan is then grafted to the terminal carboxyl of the mercaptoacetic acid in the presence of N-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDAC). The TEM images of single bacteria treated with Ag@NVan show that plenty of Ag@NVan aggregate in the cell wall of E. coli. A possible antibacterial mechanism is proposed that silver nanoparticles may help destroy the stability of the outer membrane of E. coli, which makes NVan easier to bind to the nether part of the peptidoglycan structure. The antibacterial activities of silver nanoparticles on their own, together with the rigid polyvalent interaction between Ag@NVan and cell wall, enables Ag@NVan to be an effective inhibitor of GNB. This kind of bionanocomposites might be used as novel bactericidal materials and we also provide an effective synthesis method for preparing functional bioconjugated nanoparticles here.

Potentiometric Immunosensor Based on Immobilization of Hepatitis B Surface Antibody on Platinum Electrode Modified Silver Colloids and Polyvinyl Butyral as Matrixes

A highly sensitive immunosensor based on immobilization of hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb) on platinum electrode (Pt) modified silver colloids and polyvinyl butyral (PVB) as matrixes has been developed for potentiometric immunoanalysis to detect hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in this study. HBsAb molecules were immobilized successfully on nanometer‐sized silver colloid particles associated with polyvinyl butyral on a platinum electrode surface. The modification procedure was electrochemically monitored by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The HBsAb‐silver‐PVB‐modified electrode exhibited direct electrochemical behavior toward HBsAg. The factors influencing the performance of the resulting immunosensor were studied in detail. More than 94.7% of the results of human serum samples obtained by this method were in agreement with those obtained by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). The resulting immunosensor exhibited a sigmoid curve with log HBsAg concentration, high sensitivity (39.8 mV/decade), wide linear range from 16.0 to 800 ng mL^?1 with a detection limit of 3.6 ng mL^?1, fast potentiometric response (<3 min) and long‐term stability (>4 months). The response mechanism of the immunosensors was also studied with AC impedance techniques.     

Preparation of Silver Nanoparticles through Alcohol Reduction with Organoalkoxysilanes

Silver nanoparticles of narrow size distribution were prepared through the chemical reduction in an alcohol solution with several organoalkoxysilanes. In this system, organoalkoxysilanes served as a stabilizer, protecting silver nanoparticles from aggregation. The changes in size and morphology of colloidal silver nanoparticles were investigated with the addition of organoalkoxysilanes such as 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS), methyltriethoxysilane (MTS), phenyltrimethoxysilane (PTS), vinyltriethoxysilane (VTS), and 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPS) as stabilizers. The organic functional groups of organoalkoxysilanes interact with silver ions and clusters, which stabilize silver nanoparticles in the system. The silver nanoparticles obtained were characterized with transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-vis spectroscopy, etc.     

NMR Study of the Stoichiometry, Stability, and Ligand Interchange of Silver Ion-Hexathia-18-crown-6 Complex in Binary Dimethyl Sulfoxide Solvent Mixtures at 300 K

Proton NMR was used to study the complexation reaction between silver ion and hexathia-18-crown-6 in a number of binary mixed solvents of dimethyl sulfoxide with acetonitrile and methanol. Formation constants for the resulting 1:1 complexes in different solvent mixtures were determined by computer fitting of the chemical shift-mole ratio data. The influence of solvent composition on the stability of the resulting complex is discussed. The exchange kinetics of Ag⁺-hexathia-18-crown-6 in 70-30 wt.% dimethyl sulfoxide-acetonitrile and 75-25 wt.% dimethyl sulfoxide-methanol were studied by proton NMR line-shape analysis. In both solvent mixtures, the exchange of thiacrown ether between the free and complexed sites was found to proceed via a dissociative pathway. The exchange rates and the activation parameters E _a, H , S, and G for the ligand exchange were determined and the influence of solvent properties on these parameters discussed.

Re-Evaluation of the Activity Coefficients of Aqueous Hydrochloric Acid Solutions up to a Molality of 2.0 Using Two-Parameter Hückel and Pitzer Equations. Part II. Results from 0 to 95°C

Simple two-parameter Hückel and Pitzer equations were used for the calculation of the activity coefficients of aqueous hydrochloric acid at temperatures 0–60°C up to a molality of 2.0 mol-kg^–1. The data obtained by Harned and Ehlers^(2,3) on galvanic cells without a liquid junction were used in the parameter estimations of these equations. These data consist of sets of measurements at the temperature intervals of 5°C. It was observed that all estimated parameters follow very simple equations with respect to temperature. They are either constant or depend linearly on the temperature. The values for the activity coefficient parameters calculated by these simple equations are recommended here. The recommended parameter values were tested by predicting the data of Gupta, Hills, and Ives,⁽⁵⁾ consisting of cell measurements from 5 to 45°C and molalities up to 1.0 mol-kg^–1, and the data of Bates and Bower,⁽⁴⁾ which extend to 95°C but measurements were only made on molalities less than about 0.1 mol-kg^–1. The activity coefficients obtained by the new equations were also compared to those calculated by the Pitzer equations with the parameter values determined by Saluja, Pitzer, and Phutela⁽⁶⁾ from calorimetric data. The agreement observed was excellent up to a molality of 1.5 mol-kg^–1 at temperatures from 0 to 60°C.
