High-throughput quantification of palladium in water samples by ion pair based-surfactant assisted microextraction

A novel method for the determination of palladium as a metal ion model was developed by ion pair based surfactant-assisted microextraction (IP-SAME) and inductively coupled plasma-optical detection (ICP-OES). In this methodology, a cationic surfactant was used in extraction process. It has two fundamental functions: (1) the formation of an emulsified phase and (2) the ion pair formation with Pd(II) in the presence of iodide ions and making PdI₄²⁻$\text{Pd}{{\text{I}}_4}^{2-}$ extractable into organic phase (active microextraction). The effective parameters on the extraction recovery such as the types of extraction solvent and the surfactant, surfactant concentration, KI amount and HCl concentration of the sample were investigated and optimized. In the proposed approach, tetradecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (TTAB) was used as emulsifier and ion pairing agent, and 1-octanol was selected as extraction solvent. Under the optimum conditions, the enhancement factor as large as 146 was obtained. The detection limit for palladium was 0.2 μg L⁻¹, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) was 4.1% (n = 5, C = 10.0 μg L⁻¹). The proposed method was applied for extraction and determination of palladium in different water samples.

Versatile cobalt complexes for initiating immortal ring‐opening polymerization (ROP) of lactide (LA), mediating living radical polymerization of t‐butyl acrylate (tBA) and catalyzing copolymerization of LA and tBA by combination of ROP and organometallic‐mediated radical polymerization

Low‐cost, highly active and versatile amino‐bis(phenolate) cobalt complexes are developed. The cobalt complexes can control living polymerization of different categories of monomers including lactide (LA) by immortal ring‐opening polymerization in argon and even in air and acrylate via living radical polymerization (LRP). The cobalt‐based catalysts were used for copolymerization of LA and acrylate. The immortal polymerization of LA using the cobalt complexes as initiators proceeds in argon and even in air and without the requirement for extensive drying techniques or inert atmosphere whilst retaining end‐group fidelity. The cobalt complexes are used to mediate LRP of t‐butyl acrylate (tBA) in methanol. The block copolymerization of LA and tBA catalyzed by single‐site cobalt organometallic catalyst is also reported for the first time. This cobalt system offers a versatile and green way to produce homopolymers and block copolymers.

Global quantification of phosphoproteins combining metabolic labeling and gel‐based proteomics in B. pumilus

Differential proteomics targeting the protein abundance is commonly used to follow changes in biological systems. Differences in localization and degree of post‐translational modifications of proteins including phosphorylations are of tremendous interest due to the anticipated role in molecular regulatory processes. Because of their particular low abundance in prokaryotes, identification and quantification of protein phosphorylation is traditionally performed by either comparison of spot intensities on two‐dimensional gels after differential phosphoprotein staining or gel‐free by stable isotope labeling, sequential phosphopeptide enrichment and following LC‐MS analysis. In the current work, we combined in a proof‐of‐principle experiment these techniques using ¹⁴N/¹⁵N metabolic labeling with succeeding protein separation on 2D gels. The visualization of phosphorylations on protein level by differential staining was followed by protein identification and determination of phosphorylation sites and quantification by LC‐MS/MS. This approach should avoid disadvantages of traditional workflows, in particular the limited capability of peptide‐based gel‐free methods to quantify isoforms of proteins. Comparing control and stress conditions allowed for relative quantification in protein phosphorylation in Bacillus pumilus exposed to hydrogen peroxide. Altogether, we quantified with this method 19 putatively phosphorylated proteins.

Carrier ampholyte‐free isoelectric focusing on a paper‐based analytical device for the fractionation of proteins

Isoelectric focusing plays a critical role in the analysis of complex protein samples. Conventionally, isoelectric focusing is implemented with carrier ampholytes in capillary or immobilized pH gradient gel. In this study, we successfully exhibited a carrier ampholyte‐free isoelectric focusing on paper‐based analytical device. Proof of the concept was visually demonstrated with color model proteins. Experimental results showed that not only a pH gradient was well established along the open paper fluidic channel as confirmed by pH indicator strip, the pH gradient range could also be tuned by the catholyte or anolyte. Furthermore, the isoelectric focusing fractions from the paper channel can be directly cut and recovered into solutions for post analysis with sodium dodecyl sulfate‐polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization‐time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry. This paper‐based isoelectric focusing method is fast, cheap, simple and easy to operate, and could potentially be used as a cost‐effective protein sample clean‐up method for target protein analysis with mass spectrometry.     

基于侧链不对称喹喔啉聚合物的高效非富勒烯太阳电池

喹喔啉衍生物由于合成简单,易功能化,成本较低等特点在众多领域都有广泛应用。其自身具有平面刚性结构,也是构建光电聚合物的重要单体。基于喹喔啉单元的有机分子化学结构和电子结构可修饰性强,通过骨架、侧链和取代基等修饰,易于调控分子的能级和吸光光谱,因此,当使用喹喔啉体系的共轭给体与球形富勒烯受体(如PCBM)及弱结晶性非富勒烯受体(如ITIC)均可表现出优异的光伏性能。在本工作中,基于结晶性较强的非富勒烯受体(o-IDTBR),我们首次制备出侧链不对称喹喔啉(简称：不对称喹喔啉)基聚合物(TPQ-1)与之匹配。相比于侧链对称性喹喔啉(简称：对称喹喔啉)(HFQx-T)与o-IDTBR组合,“弱结晶给体-强结晶受体”组合能表现出更佳均匀的相分离尺度,从而获得更高的短路电流及能量转换效率。TPQ-1与o-IDTBR共混后器件效率为8.6%,加入15%的TB7-Th后,器件效率达到9.6%。
