Survey of ligand field parameters of strong field d complexes obtained from the g matrix

Using a newly proposed approach involving an internally consistent set of equations, the ligand field parameters Δ/ξ, V/ξ and k are obtained from literature values of the g matrix for strong field d⁵ systems of various conformations in which |Δ/ξ|≤10. Qualitative analysis of the observed results is done using the Angular Overlap Model, AOM.     

Role of resonances in building cross sections: Comparison between the Mittag–Leffler and the T‐matrix Green function expansion approaches

Peaks in collision cross sections are often interpreted as resonances. The complex dilation method, as well as other methods relying on analytic continuation of the scattering formalism, can be used to clarify whether these structures are true resonances in the sense that they are poles of the S‐matrix and the associated Green function. The performance of the Mittag–Leffler expansion and T‐matrix Green function expansion methods are formally and computationally compared. The two methods are applied to two model potentials. Eigenenergies, s‐wave residues, and cross sections are computed with both methods. The resonance contributions to the cross sections are further analyzed by removing the residue contributions from the Mittag–Leffler and Green function expansion sums, respectively. It is suggested that the contribution of a resonance to a cross section should be defined through its S‐matrix residue. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2007     

二次乳化法(W/O)/W制备蛋白质流通色谱固定相的研究

以甲基丙烯酸缩水甘油酯为单体,二甲基丙烯酸乙二醇酯为交联剂,甲苯与正庚烷为有机致孔剂,20%的甘油水溶液为内水相(超孔致孔剂),利用二次乳化法制备了(W/O)/W乳液,通过紫外光引发悬浮聚合生成两类孔型高分子微球(BiPB).BiPB孔径为双峰分布,范围分别在10~100nm和1000~7300nm之间;而其体积平均粒径、比表面积、湿密度、静态吸附容量与不含超孔的微孔介质(MiPB)接近.修饰相同二乙胺密度的BiPB和MiPB介质虽在较低流速(5cm/min)下有相近的动态吸附容量,但在高流速(40cm/min)下BiPB的动态吸附容量约为MiPB的动态吸附容量的3倍,表明BiPB介质的超孔结构对孔内传质的强化作用,因而其更适合于高速的蛋白质色谱分离.     

A Novel Simplified Column-Switching Technique for the Determination of Traces of Bromate in High Concentration Matrices

The column-switching technique has been widely used to determine trace level ions in the presence of high concentration matrix. A novel simplified column-switching method is proposed where bromate (as a model compound) was determined using this technique. The switching time window was confirmed by the retention time of determined ions. This technique can completely carry out the same function as the other column-switching technique do, but only one extra ten-way injection valve coupled to ion chromatograph was used. By using column-switching technique, it is possible to determine 0.2 μg L⁻¹ bromate in the presence of 100 mg L⁻¹ chloride by direct injection of 2000 μL without any pretreatment and the relative standard deviation (RSD) of the peak height for the eleven successive injections of 0.2 μg L⁻¹ bromate solution is 23.1%. The detection limit for bromate is 0.09 μg L⁻¹, which showed the method was very sensitive. The technique has been applied to the determination of bromate in drinking water, and the spike recovery is in the range of 96–104%.

QSPR Modeling of Gibbs Free Energy of Organic Compounds by Weighting of Nearest Neighboring Codes

We examine the encoding of chemical structure of organic compounds by Labeled Hydrogen-Filled Graphs (LHFGs). Quantitative Structure-Property Relationships (QSPR) for a representative set of 150 organic molecules have been derived by means of the optimization of correlation weights of local invariants of the LHFGs. We have tested as local invariants Morgan extended connectivity of zero- and first order, numbers of path of length 2 (P2) and valence shells of distance of 2 (S2) associated with each atom in the molecular structure, and the Nearest Neighboring Codes (NNC). The best statistical characteristics for the Gibbs free energy has been obtained for the NNC weighting. Statistical parameters corresponding to this model are the following n = 100, r² = 0.9974, s = 5.136 kJ/mol, F = 38319 (training set); n = 50, r² = 0.9990, s = 3.405 kJ/mol, F = 48717 (test set). Some possible further developments are pointed out.     

Computer based screening of compound databases: 1. Preselection of benzamidine-based thrombin inhibitors

We present a computational protocol which uses the known three-dimensional structure of a target enzyme to identify possible ligands from databases of compounds with low molecular weight. This is accomplished by first mapping the essential interactions in the binding site with the program GRID. The resulting regions of favorable interaction between target and ligand are translated into a database query, and with UNITY a flexible 3D database search is performed. The feasibility of this approach is calibrated with thrombin as the target. Our results show that the resulting hit lists are enriched with thrombin inhibitors compared to the total database.     

Nitroxide spin probe study of probe size,hydrogen bonding and polymer matrix rigidity effects on poly(acrylic acid)/poly(ethylene oxide) complexes

An electron spin resonance (ESR) spin probe study was performed on 1 : 1 by weight poly(acrylic acid) (PAA)/poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) complex over the 100–450 K temperature range with a series of tetramethylpiperidyloxy‐based spin probes. Measurements of the parameters T_5mT, Ta and Td demonstrated the effects of probe size and the strength of hydrogen bonding. The probes in the series Tempone, Tempo, Tempol and Tamine (respectively 4‐oxo‐, unsubstituted, 4‐hydroxy‐ and 4‐amino‐2,2,6,6,‐tetramethylpiperidine ‐1‐oxyl) displayed noticeable increases in the hydrogen‐bonding effect, as indicated by Ta and Td. These increases correlated with increasing hydrogen bond acceptor strength. On the other hand, as the probe size became larger, T_5mT gradually increased due to the free volume decrease. These effects were analyzed using the established theoretical relationship of T_5mT to probe volume expressed by f. Meanwhile, in order to investigate the effect of polymer matrix rigidity, a similar study was performed with a nitroxide spin probe, 2,2,6,6‐tetramethyl‐1‐piperidine‐1‐oxyl (Tempo), on PAA/PEO complexes of different weight compositions. The quantitative fast motion fraction in the composite ESR spectrum was calculated. The influence of changes in the composition of PAA on the molecular mobility was characterized by changes of the spectral parameters and τ_c. The molecular mobility was shown to diminish with increasing content of PAA in PAA/PEO blends duo to the restriction of the polymer matrix rigidity increase.

Analysis of critical points on the potential energy surface

A simple classification scheme is proposed for critical points, based only on rankr and signatures of the (n,n)-matrixG of harmonic force constants. The determination ofr ands, e.g. by the well-known factorizationG=L ^T gL (L: triangular matrix,g: diagonal matrix), has several theoretical as well as practical (computational) advantages over the inspection of eigenvalues ofG, so far used in quantum chemistry. The eigenvalues are sufficient butnot necessary for a classification whereas rank and signature are the only necessary and sufficient prerequisites for solving the task. For the purpose of presenting a working example, by calculating only a 2×2 torque constant matrix, it is shown that the coplanar ethylbenzene is unstable in the CNDO/2 picture.
