Development of a universal Raman detector for microchromatography

Summary A detector for microchromatography in which Raman spectroscopy is used to identify the eluted species has been developed. The detector is designed to be applicable to a wide range of compounds without requiring the presence of a chromophore. Its use is illustrated in the analysis of nitro compounds on a 250 μm i.d. column. Raman spectra of each of the compounds could be identified as they passed the detector. The advatages of the use of fully deuterated solvents are demonstrated by the analysis of nitrobenzenes in methanol/water mobile phases. The detection limit for nitrobenzene using the Raman line at 1342 cm⁻¹ was 75ng.     

现场表面拉曼光谱研究Fe-Mo合金诱导共沉积

现场表面拉曼光谱结果显示，在0．2mol·L-1Na2MoO4,pH＝4．0的溶液中，电位正于0．5V（vsSCE）时只观察到多钼酸盐的拉曼峰（940、880和450cm-1）．负于-0．5V时，出现中心位于730cm-1的宽峰．同时电极表面有蓝色膜生成．表明混合氧化态（MO（Ⅳ），MO（Ⅴ））氧化膜的形成．730cm-1的峰在-1．9V时仍然存在，说明氧化膜没有被进一步还原．在钼酸钠溶液中同时含有0．1mol·L-1FeSO4和0．2mol·L-1柠檬酸时，中间态氧化膜的拉曼峰的中心移到740cm-1．且峰强度随着电位从-1．3V负移到-1．9V而逐渐减弱并最终消失．电极表面沉积层呈银白色，说明由于Fe2 的存在，钼的中间态氧化膜的结构发生了变化，能够被进一步还原形成Fe－Mo合金，表现出诱导共沉积的特征．

pH值和钙离子对尖吻蝮蛇抗血小板凝集素二级结构的影响

尖吻蝮蛇毒中抗血小板凝集素是凝血因子IX/凝血因子X结合蛋白，它具有抗凝血和抑制血小板凝集双重活性。用红外光谱、拉曼光谱和CD谱研究了抗血小板凝集素的二级结构以及pH值和钙离子对其二级结构的影响。用CD谱测得，在水溶液中，抗血小板凝集素的主要骨架构象为β-折叠(26.3%)和α-螺旋(19.6%)结构。拉曼光谱显示，在粉末状态，其α-螺旋含量显著降低。CD谱还表明，抗血小板凝集素在pH值3.0～11.0范围内保持稳定的天然结构，钙离子诱导的抗血小板凝集素结构变化是可逆的，钙离子在稳定抗血小板凝集素的天然结构中起重要作用。     

成像技术在食品安全与质量控制中的研究进展

食品质量与安全是政府、食品行业以及消费者十分关注的问题。为了保证食品质量与安全，需要对食品中的风险因子进行检测。传统的分析方法如生物化学方法和仪器分析方法（色谱法、色谱-质谱法）存在前处理比较复杂，耗时，对样品具有破坏性及无法获取目标物空间信息等缺点。因此，开发快速，无损，实时和可视化的检测技术十分重要，这也是食品领域研究的热点。近年来，高光谱成像技术融合了成像和光谱两种技术，可以作为一种用于食品质量和安全评估的非破坏性和实时检测的工具。拉曼光谱成像技术可以同时获得待测物的光谱和空间信息，具有快速，无损和低成本等优点，在食品安全评价和质量控制中也得到了成功应用。质谱成像技术不需要标记和染色，即可实现样品组织表面待测物的可视化和高通量分析。它作为一种分子可视化技术，可以获得食品中营养成分及内、外源性有害物质的空间分布信息，在食品领域也表现出良好的应用前景。本文检索了近几年国内外发表的成像技术在食品研究中的相关文献，介绍了高光谱成像技术、拉曼光谱成像技术和质谱成像技术的原理，并综述了它们在食品安全与质量控制中的应用。此外，本文分析和讨论了这几种成像技术的优缺点，并对成像技术在食品领域的发展前景做出了展望。     

Zur Kenntnis des Calciumbromats und - iodats,Kristallstruktur, röntgenographische,IR- und Raman-spektroskopische und thermoanalytische Untersuchungen

On Calcium Bromated and Iodates – Crystal Structure, X-Ray, IR and Raman Spectroscopical and Thermoanalytical Investigations The phase relationships (and both decomposition and disproportionation)of bromates and iodates of alkaline earth metals are studied by means of thermal analyses (DTA, DSC, TG) and (high-temperature) X-Ray, IR-, and (high-temperature) Raman spectroscopic measurements. The following compounds have been established: Ca(IO₃)₂ · 6 H₂O oF 216, the isotypic Ca(BrO₃)₂ · H₂O and Ca(IO₃)₂ · H₂O mP 48, Ca(IO₃)₂ I (Lautarit) mP 36, Ca(IO₃)₂ II and Ca(BrO₃)₂. The Crystal structure of Ca(IO₃)₂ · H₂O (brüggenite) (space group P2₁/c, Z = 4) has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction (MoKα). The final R value for 3888 reflections with I_o > 3σ₁ is 0.0487. The structures of bromates and iodates of alkaline earth metals known so far are discussed with respect to the energetic (mode frequencies) and geometric (bond lengths) distortion of the XO₃–ions as well as the strengths of H-bonds present in the respective hydrates.     

I NQR and spectroscopic investigation of impurity-doped and mixed lithium iodate Li1−xHxIO3 crystals

The ¹²⁷I NQR, IR absorption and Raman spectra of impurity-doped and mixed lithium iodate Li_1−xH_xIO₃ crystals grown from water solutions with different LiIO₃/HIO₃ ratios were investigated depending on the content of the impurity hydrogen x. The NQR results suggested that, at small concentration of doping iodic acid x<0.22, the lattice dynamics of the crystal grown from water solution changes significantly though the crystal retains hexagonal symmetry. Spectroscopic studies are compatible with average hexagonal symmetry of the grown doped crystals. From the results of Raman studies at room temperature and 100 K, the concentration range of hydrogen dopant 0.22<x<0.36 was found where disordered solid solution crystals Li_1−xH_xIO₃ are formed.     

Spectroscopic Studies on the Interaction of Tetramethylpyridylporphyrins and Cationic Clays

In the present work, the interaction between5,10,15,20-tetrakis(1-methyl-4-pyridyl)-21H,23H-porphine (TMPyP) and its metallated form(CoTMPyP) with three cationic clays was investigatedby X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-VIS and resonance Ramanspectroscopies. Sodium montmorillonites K10 and KSFand a synthetic fluorohectorite (FHT) containingdifferent macrocycle loadings, were prepared by an ionexchange reaction. In nonsaturated KSF and FHT, theCoTMPyP molecule assumes a flat orientation, relativeto the host layers, giving rise to at least twoabsorption bands in the Soret region (ca. 445 and 465 nm)assigned to adsorbed and intercalated CoTMPyP,respectively. For the delaminated K10 sample, a broadband centered around 456 nm, indicates a majorcontribution from the metalloporphyrin on the clayexternal surfaces. The electronic spectra of FHTsamples containing increasing amounts of CoTMPyPshow bands red shifted even when a small amount ofporphyrin is used, suggesting that the electroniclevels of the macrocycle are more affected by theinteraction with the clay than by the metalloporphyrindistortion inside the galleries. The resonance Ramanspectra obtained for all CoTMPyP samples presentedonly minor shifts in peak positions and band width,with the exception of the FHT saturated sample, wherethe bands are clearly broader when compared to otherloadings, suggesting that porphyrin aggregation isoccurring. In the case of TMPyP, the bands at ca. 430and 468 nm were assigned to nonprotonated andprotonated molecules, respectively. This assignment issupported by resonance Raman spectroscopy, which alsoshowed the ₂ mode (ca. 1550 cm^-1) to bethe most sensitive peak to protonation.     

ENVIRONMENTAL STABILITY OF THE POLYENE PREPARED BY DEHYDROCHLORINATION OF POLY(VINYL CHLORIDE)

A high-quality polyene can be obtained by exensive dehydrochlorination of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) in aliquid/solid two-phase system. The liquid phase is a tetrahydrofuran solution of PVC containing a small amount ofpoly(ethylene glycol) with molar mass of 400 g as a phase transfer catalys. The solid phase is potassium hydroxide particles.The structure of the polyene is polyacetylene-like and has a long conjugated C=C sequence and a narrow dispersity ofpolyene sequences according to its FT-infrared and Raman spectra. The environmental stability of the polyene was alsostudied by IR, Raman spectra and elemental analysis. Experimental results demonstrated that the polyene was susceptible toair and could be changed into a material containing high concentrations of hydroxyl and carbonyl groups. The polyenesequences were shortened and its dispersity became broader due to the effect of dioxygen.     

Density functional theory studies on the Raman and IR spectra of meso-tetraphenylporphyrin diacid

The vibrational spectra of meso-tetraphenylporphyrin diacid (H4TPP2+) have been studied with the density functional theory. Raman and IR spectra of H4TPP2+ and its N-deuterated analogue (D4TPP2+) are measured and compared with the computational results. Complete assignments of observed IR and Raman bands were proposed on the bases of calculation results. The DFT calculations reproduce 140 observed fundamentals with the RMS 8.6 cm-1. The computational as well as the experimental results reveal that the saddle-distortion of porphyrin macrocycle for the diacid leads to a significant effect on its vibrational spectra. Especially, several out-of-plane skeletal modes, which were either unobserved or very weak in the Raman spectra of CuTPP and H2TPP, are activated in the Raman spectra of the diacids. In addition, enhancement for the Raman bands of phenyl CC stretching modes were observed and attributed to the conjugation effect of pi-systems of the phenyl and the porphyrinato macrocycles.
