Chemical exchange in novel spirobicyclic zwitterionic Janovsky complexes using dynamic 1H NMR spectroscopy

Highly coloured Janovsky complexes have been known for over 120 years, being used in many colourimetric analytical procedures. In this present study, two novel and stable nitrocyclohexadienyl spirobicyclic, zwitterionic Janovsky anionic hydantoin σ‐complexes, rac‐1,3‐diisopropyl‐6‐nitro‐2,4‐dioxo‐1,3‐diazaspiro[4.5]deca‐6,9‐dien‐8‐ylideneazinate, ammonium internal salt (1) and 1,3‐diisopropyl‐2,4‐dioxo‐1,3‐diazaspiro[4.5]deca‐6,9‐dien‐8‐ylideneazinate, ammonium internal salt (2) have been prepared and characterised by NMR, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI‐MS) and UV/visible methods. For the p‐mononitro‐substituted complex (2), we discovered chemical exchange behaviour using 1D saturation transfer and 2D exchange spectroscopy (EXSY) ¹H NMR techniques. The coalescence temperature was determined to be 62 °C in d₃‐acetonitrile. Analysis of these data provided a Gibbs free energy of activation, ΔG ?, of + 67 kJ mole^?1, a rate constant, k, coalescence of 220 Hz and an equilibrium constant, K_eqm, of 0.98 as estimates of the exchange process in this solvent. Of the two mechanisms proposed for this fluxional behaviour, ring opening to a substituted benzene or proton exchange, a further theoretical modelling study of 1D ¹H NMR spectra was able to confirm that simple proton exchange between the two nitrogen sites of the hydantoin ring provided an accurate simulation of the observed experimental evidence. Interestingly, the o,p‐dinitro‐substituted complex (1) did not show any chemical exchange behaviour up to 150 °C in d₃‐acetonitrile (to 75 °C) and d₆‐dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Molecular modelling at the MM2 level suggests that steric collisions of an N‐acyl isopropyl substituent of the hydantoin ring with the ortho‐nitro group of the spirofused cyclohexadienyl ring prevents the proposed proton exchange mechanism occurring in this case.

Extraordinarily high drive currents in asymmetrical double-gate MOSFETs

Numerical simulation results derived from a Schrödinger–Poisson tool applied to scaled double-gate (DG) MOSFETs, supplemented by analytical characterizations of the pertinent physics, are presented to give insight concerning the near-ideal features of DG devices and to explain how the low-voltage drive current of the asymmetrical DG MOSFET, having only one predominant channel, can be comparable to, and even higher than, that of the symmetrical-gate counterpart designed to have the same off-state current.

Determination of charge states of single swift heavy projectiles by high-energy delta-electrons

The effective charge state is an important particle parameter which is required for the calculation of many effects concerning the interaction between radiation and matter such as an estimate of the radial dose of swift heavy projectiles, stopping power and so on. A new method for the determination of effective charge states of heavy ions is based on the measurement of the number of high-energy delta-electrons which are ejected from a target by the penetrating ion. These electrons are detectable with a CCD-detector and their number can be correlated to the effective charge state of the projectile for known particle velocities. This method is even applicable to operation with single swift heavy ions within statistical bounds.     

强流相对论电子束的数值模拟

我们研制了CEBQ程序和ENVLOP程序，模拟稳态相对论电子束在二极管区的产生和加速，以及电子束在阳极通道内的传输过程。CEBQ程序模拟二极管区电子轨道，当阳极电压为1．5MV时，阴极总发射电流为17．9kA，进入阳极通道内的传输电流为4．3kA，阳极入口处D=4cm的束发射度为24．9cm．mrad。ENVLOP程序使用线性近似下的包络方程，描述电子束包络在螺旋管引导磁场作用下的变化，讨论了外加引导磁场对包络的影响。计算结果表明，在合适引导磁场作用下，束包络起伏较小，进入阳极通道的束流(4．3kA)能全部通过。     

从单一多位交换~(119)Sn二维交换谱求取SnCl_6~(2-)水解体系的动态交换速率常数

本文对如何从单一二维交换谱提取速率常数进行了理论分析,提出了一种近似处理方法,即把较短混合时间τ_m内在二维平面上磁化强度传递看成是单向进行的,进而导出了二维交换谱中所有峰强随τ_m变化的表达式。所得结果与Ernst的精确结果在一级近似下完全一致,在二级近似下略有不同,但将难以求解的问题转化成简单的代数方程、用这一方法对新近获得的SnCl_4·5H_2O在水溶液中的~(119)Sn二维交换谱进行了处理,得到与实验相吻合的结果,并求得了SnCI_6~(2-)水解体系的动态交换速率常数。     

Substituent Effects on Phosphate-Catalyzed Proton Exchange in Amides

The kinetics of phosphate-catalyzed proton exchange have been measured with NMR lineshape analysis for a series of amides, ureas, and carbamates. A hypothetical energy profile for transition structures of concerted phosphate catalysis ?_c and of stepwise phosphate catalysis ?₁, ?₂ is used for discussion of the substituent effects. The concerted mechanism of phosphate catalysis operates only for amides RCONHCH₃ for which the electron-donating ability of the substituent R is comparable with, or better than, that of the methyl group. We conclude that concerted phosphate catalysis is inoperative in proteins or polypeptides.     

Automatic off/on-line preconcentration for ICP-OES: Powerful instrumentation for water analysis

Automated preconcentration techniques for off/on-line determination with ICP-OES have been developed for various metal ions of environmental interest. Preconcentration studies were performed on two different types of chemically bonded chelating ion-exchangers, namely EDTrA-cellulose (iminoacetate groups) and HSO₃ · oxine-cellulose. Enrichment studies were carried out at various preconcentration factors and also at different loadings.Presented in part at the 1989 European Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry, Reutte, Austria

Exciton emission dynamics in single InAs/GaAs quantum dots due to the existence of plasmon-field-induced metastable states in the wetting layer

A very long lifetime exciton emission with non-single exponential decay characteristics has been reported for single InA-s/GaAs quantum dot(QD) samples,in which there exists a long-lived metastable state in the wetting layer(WL)through radiative field coupling between the exciton emissions in the WL and the dipole field of metal islands.In this article we have proposed a new three-level model to simulate the exciton emission decay curve.In this model,assuming that the excitons in a metastable state will diffuse and be trapped by QDs,and then emit fluorescence in QDs,a stretchedlike exponential decay formula is derived as I(t)=At~(β-1)e~(-(rt)β),which can describe well the long lifetime decay curve with an analytical expression of average lifetime
