The synthesis and characterization of C60 chemically modified poly(N-vinylcarbazole)

Addition of C₆₀ moiety, a powerful electron acceptor to poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) by chemical reaction modifies considerably the physical and chemical properties of PVK. The characterization techniques employed are UV-visible, IR, DSC, TGA, ESR, ¹³C-NMR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, XRD, and cyclic voltammetry. The fullerenated PVK, which has a visibly earthy yellow cast when compared with the unreacted polymer, has a new structure in the UV-vis absorption spectrum with the active range extending from about 280 to 870 nm, its apparent temperature sensitivity is intriguing, and an unusual temperature dependence for the ESR spectrum is observed. Considerable difference of electronic structure between pure PVK and C₆₀-PVK copolymer is indicated. The thermal stability and oxidation-reduction activation of pure PVK are enhanced by C₆₀-chemical modification. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A Molecular-Wide and Electron Density-Based Approach in Exploring Chemical Reactivity and Explicit Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) Solvent Molecule Effects in the Proline Catalyzed Aldol Reaction

Modelling of the proline (1) catalyzed aldol reaction (with acetone 2) in the presence of an explicit molecule of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (3) has showed that 3 is a major player in the aldol reaction as it plays a double role. Through strong interactions with 1 and acetone 2, it leads to a significant increase of energy barriers at transition states (TS) for the lowest energy conformer 1a of proline. Just the opposite holds for the higher energy conformer 1b. Both the ‘inhibitor’ and ‘catalyst’ mode of activity of DMSO eliminates 1a as a catalyst at the very beginning of the process and promotes the chemical reactivity, hence catalytic ability of 1b. Modelling using a Molecular-Wide and Electron Density-based concept of Chemical Bonding (MOWED-CB) and the Reaction Energy Profile–Fragment Attributed Molecular System Energy Change (REP-FAMSEC) protocol has shown that, due to strong intermolecular interactions, the HN-C-COOH (of 1), CO (of 2), and SO (of 3) fragments drive a chemical change throughout the catalytic reaction. We strongly advocate exploring the pre-organization of molecules from initially formed complexes, through local minima to the best structures suited for a catalytic process. In this regard, a unique combination of MOWED-CB with REP-FAMSEC provides an invaluable insight on the potential success of a catalytic process, or reaction mechanism in general. The protocol reported herein is suitable for explaining classical reaction energy profiles computed for many synthetic processes.     

Semiempirical Potential in Kinetics Calculations on the HC3N + CN Reaction

The reaction between the cyano radical CN and cyanoacetylene molecule HC3N is of great interest in different astronomical fields, from star-forming regions to planetary atmospheres. In this work, we present a new synergistic theoretical approach for the derivation of the rate coefficient for gas phase neutral-neutral reactions. Statistic RRKM calculations on the Potential Energy Surface are coupled with a semiempirical analysis of the initial bimolecular interaction. The value of the rate coefficient for the HC3N + CN → H + NCCCCN reaction obtained with this method is compared with previous theoretical and experimental investigations, showing strengths and weaknesses of the new presented approach.     

Fast gas chromatography-negative-ion chemical ionization mass spectrometry with microscale volume sample preparation for the determination of benzodiazepines and alpha-hydroxy metabolites, zaleplon and zopiclone in whole blood

Fast gas chromatography/negative-ion chemical ionization mass spectrometric (GC/NICI-MS) assay combined with rapid and nonlaborious sample preparation is presented for the simultaneous determination of benzodiazepines and alpha-hydroxy metabolites, zaleplon and zopiclone in whole blood. The compounds were extracted from 100 microl of whole blood by simultaneous multitube, microscale liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and derivatized by N-methyl-N-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide (MTBSTFA), without the need for the time-consuming concentration stage. In the analytical separation, various parameters of fast GC/NICI-MS were applied, e.g. the use of hydrogen as a GC carrier gas, a high carrier gas velocity, a small film thickness of the analytical column, fast MS data acquisition, fast temperature ramping, and high initial and final temperatures of GC column. Sensitive identification, screening and quantitation of 18 compounds of interest were achieved in chromatographic separation in only 4.40 min. Accurate and reproducible results were obtained by using five different and carefully selected deuterated analogues on the basis of the chemical properties of the target analytes. Nevertheless, for alpha-OH-midazolam, and for bromazepam and flunitrazepam at low concentrations, the results can be considered only semiquantitative on the basis of the validation data. The extraction efficiencies ranged from 74.3 to 105.7% and the limits of quantitation (LOQ) from 1 to 100 ng ml(-1). Rapid sample preparation and fast chromatographic separation allowed cost-efficient, reliable and high sample-throughput analyses with a low amount of manual work. The method was fully validated and accredited according to EN ISO/IEC 17025 standards and is applicable for sensitive, reliable and quantitative determination of benzodiazepines, zaleplon and zopiclone, e.g. in clinical and forensic toxicology.     

敬钊毒素-V剪切体Y1-JZTX-V的化学合成与氧化复性及其钠通道活性鉴定

应用芴甲氧羰基(Fmoc)固相方法化学合成了敬钊毒素-V（JZTX-V）分子N-端酪氨酸残基剪切体(Y1-JZTX-V),并且通过反相高效液相色谱和质谱对不同条件下的氧化复性结果进行监测,从而得到该剪切体的最佳氧化复性条件:0.1 mol/L Tris-HCl缓冲液、pH 7.50、1 mmol/L还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH)、0.1 mmol/L氧化型谷胱甘肽(GSSG)、样品浓度为0.05 mg/L、复性温度为4 ℃。膜片钳电生理实验结果显示敬钊毒素-V剪切体Y1-JZTX-V对大鼠背根神经节(DRG)细胞上表达的河豚毒素不敏感型(TTX-R)与河豚毒素敏感型(TTX-S)钠电流均有抑制作用,其半数抑制浓度(IC50)分别为(160±2.5) nmol/L和(39.6±3.2) nmol/L。与天然的敬钊毒素-V相比,该剪切体对大鼠DRG细胞上的TTX-S钠电流的抑制作用基本一致,但对TTX-R钠电流的抑制作用却大大降低,表明敬钊毒素-V分子N-端的酪氨酸残基是一个与TTX-R钠通道结合活性相关的氨基酸残基。

The electron microanalyzer (EPMA): a powerful device for the microanalysis of filled polymeric materials

The electron probe microanalyzer is a device often used in the field of geology or in the glass and steel industries. However, it is barely known or used in the polymer field. Thus, in this paper, we investigate the use of electron probe microanalyzer for polymer microanalyses and compared it with a scanning electron microscope equipped with an energy dispersive spectrometer. To show the unique potential of this technique only develop in our lab for polymer application, three different samples were studied: (i) a fire protective epoxy‐based coating submitted to aging in salt water, (ii) the distribution of organometallic catalysts into a thermal isolative silicone polymer, and (iii) the fouling growth of milk protein (biopolymer) on a stainless steel surface. Compared to an energy dispersive spectrometer, with an electron probe microanalyzer it is possible to quickly create X‐ray mappings of low concentration elements at a good resolution, as well as allowing the interpretation of the mechanism of action for the three samples which was impossible using only an energy dispersive spectrometer because of its too low detection resolution.
