Characterization of peptides by liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry using silver nitrate as a post-column complexant

Two model peptides, des-Arg1-bradykinin (DAB) and bradykinin (B), were cationized by Ag+ after their separation by reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) prior to mass spectrometry (MS). Silver nitrate solution was used as a post-column reagent. The RPLC and MS experimental conditions were optimized using flow injection in order to obtain sufficiently abundant silver adducts to permit MS/MS experiments. The use of water-methanol with 0.1% formic acid as mobile phase allowed a good chromatographic separation of the two peptides with a polymeric stationary phase and sufficiently abundant silver-containing adducts, [M + Ag + H]2+ and [M + 2Ag]2+. The gas-phase dissociation of [DAB + Ag + H]2+ and [DAB + 2Ag]2+ led to interpretable mass spectra during the on-line cationization experiment. Most of the ions obtained by dissociating [DAB + Ag + H]2+ and [DAB + 2Ag]2+ species are silver-containing ions but the ions produced depend on the parent. The ions coming from the dissociation of the doubly charged silver adducts [DAB + Ag + H]2+ or [DAB + 2Ag]2+ are of interest compared with those coming from the singly charged silver species or doubly charged protonated species. The fragmentation of the doubly charged silver adducts provides ions over the entire mass range. Although the presence of several prolines in des-Arg1-bradykinin prevents the formation of some expected ions, the observation of triplets [an-H + Ag]+, [bn-H + Ag]+ and [bn + OH + Ag]+ produced by the dissociation of on-line Ag(+)-cationized peptides could contribute to greater success of automatic sequencing of peptides.     

Reactivity and Structural Properties of a Mechanochemically Treated Ag2O-V2O5 System in Relation to AgVO3 Polymorphs

Formation and chemical properties of amorphous AgVO₃, which was prepared by mechanochemical treatment of an Ag₂O-V₂O₅ mixture, and crystalline AgVO₃ were studied in relation to AgVO₃ polymorphs. A ball-milled sample of the mixture was assigned as a highly deformed β-AgVO₃ rather than the low density phase α-AgVO₃. Crystalline α-AgVO₃ and β-AgVO₃ were converted into deformed β-AgVO₃ by ball milling, which produced a clear change. δ-AgVO₃ is resistant to mechanical treatment and its structure was not markedly affected. The dissolved chemical species from the ball-milled sample precipitates to form α-AgVO₃ without a seeding crystal, but other polymorphs deposit if they are present; i.e., β-AgVO₃ and δ-AgVO₃ grow on the seeding crystal.

A Simple Hydrothermal Route to Large‐Scale Synthesis of Uniform Silver Nanowires

This paper describes the preparation of uniform silver nanowires by reducing freshly prepared silver chloride with glucose at 180 °C for 18 hours in the absence of any surfactants or polymers. Scanning electron microscopy studies indicated that the silver nanowires are about 100 nm in diameter and up to 500 μm in length. High‐resolution transmission electron microscopy analyses showed that the silver nanowires grow perpendicularly to the Ag(200) plane. The silver nanowires are believed to grow through a solid–solution–solid process. Some influential factors on the growth of silver nanowires are also discussed.
