[Bi6O4.5(OH)3.5]2(NO3)11: a new anhydrous bismuth basic nitrate. Synthesis and structure determination from twinned crystals

The bismuth basic nitrate [Bi₆O_4.5(OH)_3.5]₂(NO₃)₁₁ crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁ with , , , β=107.329(17)° and . Its structure has been determined from , twinned crystal X-ray data (16 781 reflections, 683 parameters, R=0.0703). It is built upon [Bi₆O_x(OH)_8−x]^(10−x)+, x=4 and x=5 hexanuclear complexes and nitrate groups. The polycationic entities are linked to the nitrate anions either by hydrogen bonds or through bismuth-oxygen coordination. Even at , the [Bi₆O₄(OH)₄]⁶⁺ and [Bi₆O₅(OH)₃]⁵⁺ polycations could not be observed as such, the crystal structure refinement only detecting an average [Bi₆O_4.5(OH)_3.5]^5.5+ polycation. To prove the presence of both hexanuclear complexes in the structure, we report the existence of a correlation between the bismuth-linked oxygen bond-valence parameters and the presence, or not, of hydroxyl groups. Moreover, the Raman spectrum of the new anhydrous bismuth basic nitrate is compared to those of [Bi₆O₅(OH)₃](NO₃)₅·3H₂O, [Bi₆O₄(OH)₄](NO₃)₆·4H₂O, and two yet uncharacterized bismuth nitrates.     

Simultaneous determination of acidic,basic and alcoholic substances relating to monoamine hormones and metabolites in biological material by mass fragmentography (GC/MF)

A method is described for the simultaneous quantitative determination of monoamines and related compounds from urine and brain tissue samples in the pg-range, using a GC/MF instrument LKB-2091 provided with a multiple ion detection (MID) system and capillary columns. The simultaneous detection of “fingerprints” with fourteen and more compounds during one single GC run was achieved after the intoduction of “time gates” for the detection of the different characteristic masses. Several modifications to the LKB equipment permitted exact reproducibility of retention times, which is essential for the use of “time gates”. The detection of “fingerprints” with these acidic, basic and alcoholic substances was achieved by the extraction of the dried biological samples with silylating agents.     

均分散胶体的研究 V. 锆化合物均分散颗粒的制备

根据部分稳定氧化锆陶瓷(PSZ)的增韧机制,减小陶瓷粉料ZrO_2颗粒的尺寸是提高陶瓷韧性及其它机械性能的关键,因此合成细微ZrO_2粉料的研究开展得十分活跃.韩利成等用液相沉淀法制备尺寸在微米级以下的氢氧化锆颗粒.村濑嘉夫等在H_2O_2存在下升温水解ZrOCl_2溶液,制备ZrO_2超细颗粒.从所发表的透射电子显微镜(TEM)照片看,他们所制得的颗粒形状和尺寸都不均一,而且粘连,恐难以满足烧制高韧性PSZ     

Factors Contributing to Solubility Synergism of Some Basic Drugs with β-Cyclodextrin in Ternary Molecular Complexes

Ternary complexes exploiting solubility synergism (SSn) between basic drugs and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) in the presence of an organic hydoxy acid have been reported to provide the pharmaceutical technology with highly soluble ternary complexes, even with the least soluble β-CD. In this work, phase solubility techniques were used to study factors affecting SSn in aqueous solution, which may help in understanding the mechanism involved in ternary complex formation in solution, under equilibrium conditions. The equilibrium solubility of both β-CD and each of 8 structurally unrelated drugs were measured in tandem in the presence of different acid types at low and high pHs, and at different time intervals over a period of 1–40 days. The results indicate that SSn is evident regardless of acid type (organic and inorganic) at low pH, but the extent of SSn is acid type dependant and is limited by the drug salt solubility product constant (pK _sp). Among different drugs, no apparent trend exists between drug salt solubility and the extent of SSn, but lowering drug salt solubility by increasing pH depresses SSn. The results also reveal no apparent trend between the magnitude of the complex formation constant (K _ij) and SSn. For example, drugs of low K _ij values such as astemizole, cisapride and sildenafil do not show any SSn, yet ketotifen and pizotifen, which also have low K _ij values, exhibit substantial SSn. However, the solublizing power of β-CD represented by the slope of phase solubility diagram can be used as a marker for SSn (slopes exceeding 0.4 induce SSn).

Co-hydrolysis and Seed-Induced Synthesis of Basic Mesoporous ZSM-5 Zeolites with Enhanced Catalytic Performance

For zeolite catalysts, the regulation of active site and pore structure plays an important role in the enhancement of their catalytic performance. In this work, a one-pot and organic template-free co-regulation route is proposed to straightforwardly synthesize basic mesoporous ZSM-5 zeolites with adjustable alkaline-earth metal species. The synthesis pathway combines two decisive strategies: 1) the seed-induced interface assembly growth method and 2) the acidic co-hydrolysis/condensation of aluminosilicate species and alkaline-earth metal (e.g., Mg, Ca, Sr, or Ba) sources. It is interesting that the mesoporous structure was self-evolved through particle-attached seed-interfacial crystallization without the assistance of any template. Meanwhile, the incorporation of alkaline-earth metals species is homogeneous and highly dispersed in the solid products during the whole crystallization process, and finally generate the superior basicity. Catalysis tests of the as-synthesized samples displayed their novel performance in the typical base reaction of Knoevenagel condensation, even for bulky substrates owing to the enhanced diffusion arising from the meso/microporous network. This finding opens new possibilities for facile, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly synthesis of mesoporous high-silica zeolites with tunable acid/base properties, and deepens our understanding of the particle-attached crystallization.     

Multistrain edge‐based compartmental model on networks

Multistrain diseases, which are infected through individual contacts, pose severe public health threat nowadays. In this paper, we build competitive and mutative two‐strain edge‐based compartmental models using probability generation function (PGF) and pair approximation (PA). Both of them are ordinary differential equations. Their basic reproduction numbers and final size formulas are explicitly derived. We show that the formula gives a unique positive final epidemic size when the reproduction number is larger than unity. We further consider competitive and mutative multistrain diseases spreading models and compute their basic reproduction numbers. We perform numerical simulations that show some dynamical properties of the competitive and mutative two‐strain models.     

Polyethylene Glycol‐(N‐Methylimidazolium) Hydroxide‐Grafted γ‐Fe2O3@HAp: A Novel Nanomagnetic Recyclable Basic Phase‐Transfer Catalyst for the Synthesis of Tetrahydrobenzopyran Derivatives in Aqueous Media

Polyethylene glycol‐(N‐methylimidazolium) hydroxide‐grafted hydroxyapatite encapsulated γ‐Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles, γ‐Fe₂O₃@HAp@PEG(mim)OH, were prepared and characterized by FTIR, SEM, TEM, TGA, and EDAX. This nanocomposite was applied as a novel, green, nanomagnetic, and recyclable basic phase‐transfer catalyst for the synthesis of tetrahydrobenzopyrans in high yields via the three‐component reaction of aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile, and dimedone or 1,3‐cyclohexanedione in aqueous media at ambient temperature.
