One-dimensional and two-dimensional nanomaterials for the detection of multiple biomolecules

The complexity of biological samples determines that the detection of a single biomolecule is unable to satisfy actual needs. Moreover, the “false positives” results caused by a single biomolecule detections easily leads to erroneous clinical diagnosis and treatment. Thus, it is important for the homogenous quantification of multiple biomolecules in not only basic research but also practical application. As a consequent, a large number of literatures have been exploited to monitor multiple biomolecules in homogenous solution, enabling facilitating the development of the disease diagnosis, treatment as well as drug discovery. One-dimensional nanomaterials and two-dimensional nanomaterials have special physical and chemical properties, such as good electrochemical properties, stable structure, large specific surface area, and biocompatibility, which are widely used in electrochemical and fluorescent detection of biomolecules. This tutorial review highlights the recent development for the detection of multiple biomolecules by using nanomaterials including one-dimensional materials (1DMs) as well as two-dimensional materials (2DMs).     

Filler effects on the thermomechanical response of stretched rubbers

This paper deals with the calorimetric analysis of deformation processes in filled styrene-butadiene rubbers. More especially, the study focuses on the effects of the addition of carbon black fillers on the calorimetric response of “demullinized” SBR. Temperature variations are measured by infrared thermography during cyclic uniaxial tensile tests at ambient temperature. Heat sources¹ produced or absorbed by the material due to deformation processes are deduced from temperature fields by using the heat diffusion equation. First, the results show that no mechanical (intrinsic) dissipation is detected for weakly filled SBR, meaning that the heat produced and absorbed over one mechanical cycle is the same whatever the stretch ratio reached. Second, the mechanical dissipation in highly filled SBR is significant. The quantitative analysis carried out highlights the fact that it increases quasi-linearly with the stretch ratio. Finally, a simplified framework is proposed to discuss the identification of the heat sources, in particular the mechanical dissipation.     

红外光谱中溶剂效应机理研究(IV) 溶剂受电子位阻效应常数的确定

In the previous paper(Ⅲ), the following equation of solvent effect in organic chemistry was suggested:
Ei=a﹒Ai(1-Va﹒VAi)+d﹒Di(1-Vd﹒VDi)+E0
Where Ei is a physical or chemical property of the substrate in the solvent i and E0 is that in n-hexane. Ai and Di are constants of electron acception and donation effect of the solvent i respectively. VAi and VDi are constants of electron acception and donation space effect of the solvent i respectively, a and d are the sensitivities of E of the substrate vs the change of Ai and Di. Va and Vd are the constants of electron acception and donation space effect of the substrate respectively. In IR spectra E could be substituted by the wavenumber(ν). Ai and VAi have been established for 18 organic solvents (n-C6H14, n-C7H16, cyclohexane, CCl4, Ph-Me, ClCH:CCl2, Et2O, CHCl3, C6H6, CH2Cl2, ClCH2CH2Cl, Ph-NO2, THF, 1,4-dioxane, Et-NO2. MeCO2Et, Me-NO2, Me-CN).
In this paper Di and VDi have been established for these solvents. The equation also has been tested by the νC-X(X=Cl, Br) of five alkylhalides (t-BuCl, n-C5H11Cl, t-BuBr, Et-Br, EtC(H)BrMe) and νC=O of three carboxyl compounds (t-BuCOMe, Me2CO, MHB) and seven organotin compounds [(Ph2MeSiCH2)3SnO2C-C6H4-X-p(X=H-, CH3-, CH3O-, NO2-, F-. Cl-, I-)].
The relationship (ν=ρ﹒σ+ν0) between νC=O of organotin compounds and Hammett constants(σ) of the substituted groups in different solvents was studied and a relationship betweenρ and Ai, VAi, Di, VDi of the solvents was found.

Synthesis and Infrared Multi‐band Absorption Properties of Core‐shell NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+@SiO2 Nanoparticles

Due to the unique size effects, nanomaterials in infrared absorption have attracted much attention for their strong absorption in the infrared region. To achieve the infrared multi‐band absorption, we propose to synthesize a core‐shell structure nanomaterial consisting of NaYF₄:Yb³⁺, Er³⁺ core and a layer of SiO₂ as shell. A series of NaYF₄:Yb³⁺, Er³⁺ nanocrystals were synthesized through hydrothermal method by adjusting the ratio of citric acid(CA)‐to‐NaOH, and the effects of CA concentration, and NaOH concentration were studied in detail. NaYF₄:Yb³⁺, Er³⁺@SiO₂ nanoparticles were synthesized by sol‐gel method using TEOS as silica source. The results show that the core‐shell NaYF₄:Yb³⁺, Er³⁺@SiO₂ nanoparticles were successfully synthesized. Up‐conversion spectra of these nanoparticles were recorded with 980 nm laser excitation under room temperature. There are no changes of the emission centers of nanoparticles before or after silica coating, but the emission intensities of nanoparticles after silica coating are weakened. Furthermore, the property of infrared multi‐band absorption was tested through ultraviolet‐visible‐near infrared spectrophotometer and infrared absorption spectra. The results illustrate that the multi‐band infrared absorption nanomaterial was successfully synthesized.     

Infrared and Raman spectra of magnesium ammonium phosphate hexahydrate (struvite) and its isomorphous analogues. IX: Spectra of protiated and partially deuterated cubic magnesium caesium phosphate hexahydrate

Infrared and Raman spectra of cubic magnesium caesium phosphate hexahydrate, MgCsPO₄·6H₂O (cF100), and its partially deuterated analogues were analyzed and compared to the previously studied spectra of the hexagonal analogue, MgCsPO₄·6H₂O (hP50). The vibrational spectra of the cubic and hexagonal dimorphic analogues are similar, especially in the regions of HOH stretching and bending vibrations. In the difference IR spectrum of the slightly deuterated analogue (<5% D), one distinctive band appears at 2260 cm⁻¹ with a small shoulder at around 2170 cm⁻¹, but only one band is expected in the region of the OD stretchings of isotopically isolated HDO molecules. The small weak band could possibly result from second-order transitions (a combination of HDO bending and some libration of the same species) rather than statistical disorder of the water molecules. By comparing the IR spectra in the region of external vibrations of water molecules of the protiated compound recorded at RT (room temperature) and at LNT (liquid nitrogen temperature) and those in the series of the partially deuterated analogues, it can be stated with certainty that the bands at 924 and 817 cm⁻¹ result from librations of water molecules, rocking and wagging respectively. And the band at 429 cm⁻¹ can be safely attributed to a stretching Mg–O_w mode. In the ν₃(PO₄) and ν₄(PO₄) region in the infrared spectra, one band in each is observed, at 995 and 559 cm⁻¹, respectively. In the region of the ν₁ modes, in the Raman spectrum of the protiated compound, one very intense band was observed at 930 cm⁻¹ which is only insignificantly shifted to 929 cm⁻¹ in the spectrum of the perdeuterated compound. The band at 379 cm⁻¹ in the Raman spectrum could be assigned to the ν₂(PO₄) modes. With respect to the phosphate ion vibrations, the comparison between the two polymorphic forms of MgCsPO₄·6H₂O and their deuterated compounds shows that ν₁(PO₄) and ν₃(PO₄) appear at lower wavenumbers in the cubic phase than in the hexagonal phase. These data are in full agreement with the lower repulsion potential at the cubic lattice sites compared with that for the hexagonal lattice sites.     

A vibrational CASSCF study of stretch-bend interactions and their influence on infrared intensities in the water molecule

Summary An extension of the multiconfigurational SCF approach for the resolution of the vibrational problem is presented; it follows the philosophy of the CASSCF method developed in Quantum Chemistry. The new method allows a more complete treatment of anharmonic mode couplings, converges much faster and gives a clearer physical insight of vibrational interactions. This is exemplified by the calculation of infrared transition moments in the H₂O and D₂O isotopomers of the water molecule. It is shown how this property varies with the quality of the wave function when vibrational resonances occur. A detailed analysis by means of this new VCASSCF method demonstrates the crucial importance of excited bending oscillators in the intensity of some pure stretching transitions.Boursier F.R.I.A.

研究了不同交联度的杜仲胶在室温及加热后红外光谱的变化规律．发现在室温下测定的样品红外光谱在低波数内对应链段变形振动的几个特征峰、加热后会消失或弥散，而交联度的改变对其影响不大，即使材料中结晶完全消失而变成高弹态．因此，推测这些特微峰的存在，应该和杜仲胶弹性网络中交联点间链段存在着明显的构象规整性有关．
