Diperoxo Complexes of Vanadium(V) Containing Mannich Base Ligands

The vanadium(V) peroxo complexes containing Mannich base ligands having composition Na[VO(O₂)₂(L‐L)]·H₂O [where L‐L=morpholinobenzyl acetamide (MBA), piperidinobenzyl acetamide (PBA), morpholinobenzyl benzamide (MBB), piperidinobenzyl benzamide (PBB), morpholinomethyl benzamide (MMB), piperidinomethyl benzamide (PMB), morpholinobenzyl formamide (MBF), piperdinobenzyl formamide (PBF)] have been reported. The complexes have been prepared by stirring vanadium pentoxide with excess of 30% aqueous‐H₂O₂ followed by treatment with ethanolic solution of the ligand and finally maintained the pH of the reaction mixture by adding dilute solution of sodium hydroxide. The synthesized complexes have been characterized by various physico‐chemical techniques, via elemental analysis, molar conductivity, magnetic susceptibility measurements, infra red, electronic, mass, ¹H NMR spectral and TGA/DTA studies. These studies revealed that the synthesized complexes are uni‐univalent electrolytes and diamagnetic in nature. The ligands are bound to metal in a bidentate mode through carbonyl oxygen and the ring nitrogen. Thermal analysis result provides conclusive evidence for the presence of one molecule of lattice water in the complexes. Mass spectra confirm the molecular mass of the complexes.     

Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with supersonic molecular beams

Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) with supersonic molecular beams (SMBs) (also named Supersonic GC-MS) is based on GC and MS interface with SMBs and on the electron ionization (EI) of vibrationally cold analytes in the SMBs (cold EI) in a fly-through ion source. This ion source is inherently inert and further characterized by fast response and vacuum background filtration capability. The same ion source offers three modes of ionization including cold EI, classical EI and cluster chemical ionization (CI). Cold EI, as a main mode, provides enhanced molecular ions combined with an effective library sample identification, which is supplemented and complemented by a powerful isotope abundance analysis method and software. The range of low-volatility and thermally labile compounds amenable for analysis is significantly increased owing to the use of the contact-free, fly-through ion source and the ability to lower sample elution temperatures through the use of high column carrier gas flow rates. Effective, fast GC-MS is enabled particularly owing to the possible use of high column flow rates and improved system selectivity in view of the enhancement of the molecular ion. This fast GC-MS with SMB can be further improved via the added selectivity of MS-MS, which by itself benefits from the enhancement of the molecular ion, the most suitable parent ion for MS-MS. Supersonic GC-MS is characterized by low limits of detection (LOD), and its sensitivity is superior to that of standard GC-MS, particularly for samples that are hard for analysis. The GC separation of the Supersonic GC-MS can be improved with pulsed flow modulation (PFM) GC x GC-MS. Electron ionization LC-MS with SMB can also be combined with the Supersonic GC-MS, with fast and easy switching between these two modes of operation.     

Quantitative Structural Constraints for Organic Powders at Natural Isotopic Abundance Using Dynamic Nuclear Polarization Solid‐State NMR Spectroscopy

A straightforward method is reported to quantitatively relate structural constraints based on ¹³C–¹³C double‐quantum build‐up curves obtained by dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) solid‐state NMR to the crystal structure of organic powders at natural isotopic abundance. This method relies on the significant gain in NMR sensitivity provided by DNP (approximately 50‐fold, lowering the experimental time from a few years to a few days), and is sensitive to the molecular conformation and crystal packing of the studied powder sample (in this case theophylline). This method allows trial crystal structures to be rapidly and effectively discriminated, and paves the way to three‐dimensional structure elucidation of powders through combination with powder X‐ray diffraction, crystal‐structure prediction, and density functional theory computation of NMR chemical shifts.     

气相色谱-质谱联用选择离子监测方法定量分析低浓度胞内游离氨基酸的13C同位素丰度

胞内游离氨基酸具有周转快的特点,其13C同位素丰度能快速反映胞内代谢状态的变化。但胞内游离氨基酸的浓度很低,现有的基于气相色谱-质谱联用全扫描模式的13C同位素丰度检测方法不能满足要求。本研究考察理论上检测精度更高的选择离子监测方法在胞内游离氨基酸13C同位素丰度分析中应用的可能性。首先在全扫描模式下分析了不同氨基酸的断裂规律,找出与每种氨基酸对应的特征碎片,建立起包含有16种胞内游离氨基酸的特征碎片库。利用此特征碎片库,在样品分析时只需检测特定m/z处的信号,从而实现选择离子监测,提高信号质量。对标准品的检测结果表明,与全扫描模式相比,本方法的信噪比、测量精度和准确性分别提高了17倍、2倍和3.8倍。在对辅酶Q10生产菌株样品的分析中,本方法成功检测出8种胞内游离氨基酸的同位素丰度。     

Identification of avocado (Persea americana) pulp proteins by nano‐LC‐MS/MS via combinatorial peptide ligand libraries

Avocado (Persea americana) proteins have been scarcely studied despite their importance, especially in food related allergies. The proteome of avocado pulp was explored in depth by extracting proteins with capture by combinatorial peptide ligand libraries at pH 7.4 and under conditions mimicking reverse‐phase capture at pH 2.2. The total number of unique gene products identified amounts to 1012 proteins, of which 174 are in common with the control, untreated sample, 190 are present only in the control and 648 represent the new species detected via combinatorial peptide ligand libraries of all combined eluates and likely represent low‐abundance proteins. Among the 1012 proteins, it was possible to identify the already known avocado allergen Pers a 1 and different proteins susceptible to be allergens such as a profilin, a polygalacturonase, a thaumatin‐like protein, a glucanase, and an isoflavone reductase like protein.     

Abundances of heavy elements in ultra-metal-poor star CS 22892-052

Based on the heavy element nucleosynthesis theory, with the solar heavy-nuclide abundances and the observed abundances of three elements which are the representatives of the individul neutron-capture processes, a method to determine the relative contributions from the individul neutron-capture processes to the abundances of heavy elements in metal-poor stars is applied. With this method, the abundances of heavy elements in ultra-metal-poor star CS 22892-052 are calculated. It is found that the observed abundances of heavy elements in this star are well matched by our calculations in error limits, except for thorium Project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 19673008).

低温NMR探头的应用

在过去10年中研发新核磁共振探头一直是制造者争夺的活跃领域. 最近，因其灵敏度的巨大提高，低温冷却探头得到人们格外的关注. 利用这一技术可大量节省谱仪机时. 对于低γ核可直接测定天然丰度样品而不必标记，这远比节省机时更为重要. 本文评述了针对5～10 Hz优化2 mg天然丰度噁唑烷酮抗菌素eperezolid的 CIGAR-HMBC-¹H-¹⁵N谱的比较，一个是采自美国瓦里安公司的5 mm低温探头，另一个是采自瓦里安公司传统室温3 mm 梯度三共振探头. 利用低温探头大约10 min就可记录到大部份¹H-¹⁵N远 程相关，26 min可观察到几乎所有的远程共振. 而在同样条件下使用3 mm传统梯度反式三共振探头无法得到有用的谱图，要想取得相同的结果须累加约18 h.
