Solid state photoreactions occurring at the interface between crystallites of two different organic compounds

This paper deals with the solid state bimolecular photoreactions occurring at the interface between crystallites of two different organic compounds prepared as a polycrystalline mixture by melting-resolidification. The photoreactions include the photoaddition of NH compounds to aromatic and olefinic double bonds, hydrogen abstraction, condensation reaction via photoelectron transfer and [2+2] photoaddition. Particular attention is focused on the characterization of the polycrystalline mixture, the selectivity of the photoreactions in the solid state compared with those in the solution phase and the factors controlling the photoreactions.     

Self-consistent-field – Hartree–Fock method with finite nuclear mass corrections

We have upgraded a Self-consistent-field – Hartree–Fock routine to include a finite nuclear mass correction for molecules developed in our laboratory. The new routine can handle isotopomers without calculating any nuclear kinetic energy matrix element. Tests on H₂, LiH, HF, F₂, and H₂O isotopomers indicate the equivalence of our correction to the standard diagonal adiabatic correction. A further original application to C₂H₆ illustrates the usefulness of the method for polyatomic molecules. The resulting molecular orbitals carry the nuclear mass signature, exemplified with Koopmans ionization potentials.From the Proceedings of the 28th Congreso de Químicos Teóricos de Expresión Latina (QUITEL 2002)     

非离子表面活性剂存在下流动注射催化光度法测定痕量硒 Ⅱ.有关机理的探讨

本文研究了上文提出催化光度测定硒的有关机理。非离子表面活性剂(NSF)对硒催化S~(2-)还原亚甲基蓝(MB)退色产生胶束催化作用。首先,MB与NSF形成带阳电的混合胶束(NSF-MB)。在此,MB增溶于NSF胶束的栅状层和聚氧乙烯外壳,然后,〔S…Se°〕~(2-)被吸附于此混合胶束的界面。由于增溶和吸附的双重富集作用,使胶束界面反应物的浓度大大提高,从而促进了反应速率。反应速度增加的大小,决定于形成NSF-MB混合胶束的难易(这又决定于NSF的憎水基的结构)及〔S…S°〕~(2-)和〔S…Se°〕~(2-)在此混合胶束界面吸附能力的大小。     

Investigations with the finite element method on the Cyber 205

We are trying to investigate systematically the application of the finite element method (FEM) for solving the Schrödinger equation. The present paper is devoted to the calculation of vibrational transition probabilities for the collinear reactive system A + BC (i.e. H+H₂ and their isotopes). The calculations are fully two-dimensional and the results are compared with earlier FEM calculations and conventional basis set expansion methods using the the R-matrix or S-matrix propagation.We made extensive analysis of FEM on the vector-computer Cyber 205 and developed a vector code for the efficient use in two dimensions, so that in the near future applications even in three dimensions will be possible.For the hydrogen exchange reactions we investigated the following isotope combinations: (a) H + H₂, b) H + DH, D + HD and H + MuH (symmetric reaction), (c) D + HH, H + DD and Mu + DD (asymmetric reaction). We calculated the transition probabilities for up to five open vibrational channels and found excellent agreement with known exact values.

Poly(ethylene glycol) as Impregnator for Silica Gel in Salting-Out Thin-Layer Chromatography of Some Co(III) Complexes

Silica gel impregnated with poly(ethylene glycol) of different molecular mass (400, 1000, 1540, 4000, and 5500) was investigated for salting-out thin-layer chromatography of 15 mixed aminocarboxylato Co(III) complexes using eight ammonium sulphate solutions as mobile phases. Regularities established earlier for non-impregnated adsorbents are also valid in this work. Poly(ethylene glycol) of high molecular mass increases the hydrophobicity of the adsorbent. Positive linear dependence of R_M values and of salting-out efficiency on average poly(ethylene glycol) molecular mass was usually observed. In contrast with non-impregnated silica gel, separation was achieved between complexes with the smallest hydrocarbon groups.     

Preparation and Properties of Nickel and Iron Oxides obtained by Calcination of Layered Double Hydroxides

A constant pH precipitation method has been applied to obtain solids with Ni/Fe molar ratios of 2/1, 3/2, 1/1, 2/3, and 1/2. In all cases, a phase with the hydrotalcite‐like structure is obtained, containing Ni^II and Fe^III in the brucite‐like layers and carbonate in the interlayer, and, for samples with a Ni/Fe molar ratio lower than 2/1, amorphous hydrated iron oxides, undetected by X‐ray diffraction, are also formed. The solids have been characterized by element chemical analysis, powder X‐ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetric and differential thermogravimetric analysis, FT‐IR spectroscopy, temperature‐programmed reduction and assessment of specific surface area by nitrogen adsorption at ?196 °C. In all cases reduction leads to zero‐valent state for the metals, reduced nickel particles probably favouring reduction of Fe^III species; the specific surface area increases with the iron content, probably due to the amorphous nature of the hydrated iron oxides formed. Calcination at 1200 °C in air leads to well crystallized solids, formed by NiFe₂O₄ spinel and, additionally, rocksalt‐type NiO for Ni/Fe ratios larger than 1/2. In this way, solids with tailored compositions of these two phases can be prepared.     

Detection of antisperm antibody in human serum using a piezoelectric immunosensor based on mixed self-assembled monolayers

A novel piezoelectric immunosensor based on mixed self-assembled monolayers (mixed SAMs) formed by short-chain amine- and carboxyl-terminated thiols has been developed to immobilize antigens onto gold electrodes for detecting antisperm antibody (AsAb) in human serum samples. The properties and the enhanced performance of the affinity biosensor interface based on mixed SAMs are investigated. Most importantly, analytical results of several human serum samples using the developed technique are in satisfactory agreement with those given by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method in the concentration ranging from 32.3 to 300.0 mU/ml. It means the procedure proposed in this paper is likely to have a great potential in research and may play an important clinical role in a few years later.     

STRUCTURE EVOLUTION OF POLYMER CHAINS FOR NECKING FORMATION IN HIGH-SPEED FIBER SPINNING PROCESS

Finite element method is used to simulate the high-speed melt spinning process,based on the equation system proposed by Doufas et al.Calculation predicts a neck-like deformation,as well as the related profiles of velocity,diameter, temperature,chain orientation,and crystallinity in the fiber spinning process.Considering combined effects on the process such as flow-induced crystallization,viscoelasticity,filament cooling,air drag,inertia,surface tension and gravity,the simulated material flow behaviors are consistent with those observed for semi-crystalline polymers under various spinning conditions.The structure change of polymer coils in the necking region described by the evolution of conformation tensor is also investigated.Based on the relaxation mechanism of macromolecules in flow field different types of morphology change of polymer chains before and in the neck are proposed,giving a complete prospect of structure evolution and crystallization of semi-crystalline polymer in the high speed fiber spinning process.
