微波辐射-酶耦合催化(MIECC)反应

将微波辐射用于非水相酶催化可以获得很多有别于常规加热下的反应结果.本文讨论了微波的非热效应在酶促反应中的表现,探讨了微波辐射对酶的结构、构象、活性及酶催化反应动力学的影响,以及微波辐射-酶耦合催化对反应的对映选择性、底物专一性、前手性选择性和区域选择性的影响.在大多数场合,适当的微波辐射不会损伤酶活而且可以提高反应速率,而对酶特异性的影响则不一而论.     

掺铁纳米TiO_2的制备及其光催化性能

以TiC l4为原料,采用微波加热与常规加热2步合成法制备掺铁纳米TiO2。用X射线粉末衍射(XRD)、透射电镜(TEM)、紫外可见吸收光谱(UV-V is)、光电子能谱(XPS)等测试技术对其进行了表征。结果表明,所制得的掺铁纳米TiO2是以锐钛矿为主相的混晶,平均粒径约为10 nm,适量Fe3+的掺杂能促进金红石相变,抑制锐钛矿晶粒的生长,使Ti2p电子结合能升高0.3 eV,并使TiO2吸光能力增强,带边吸收向可见光区移动。在UVA段(320~400 nm)光照下,通过对维生素VB12的光催化降解,发现掺入摩尔分数为0.5%的Fe3+的纳米TiO2能明显提高其光催化活性,使维生素B12的降解速率提高2.3倍。     

Emission band shape probes of the mixed-valence excited state properties of polypyridyl-bridged bis-ruthenium(II) complexes

The absorption spectra and emission spectral band shapes of several polypyridine-ligand (PP) bridged bis-ruthenium(II) complexes imply that the Ru(II)/Ru(III) electronic coupling is weak in their lowest energy metal to ligand charge transfer (MLCT) excited states. Many of these PP-bridging ligands contain pyrazine moieties and the weak electronic coupling of the excited states contrasts to the strong electronic coupling inferred for the correlated mixed-valence ground states. Although the bimetallic complexes emit at significantly lower energy than their monometallic analogs, the vibronic contributions to their 77 K emission spectra are much stronger than expected based on comparison to the monometallic analogs (around twofold in some complexes) and this feature is characteristic of bimetallic complexes in which the mixed-valence excited states are electronically localized. The weaker excited state than ground state donor/acceptor electronic coupling in this class of complexes is attributed to PP-mediated super-exchange coupling in which the mediating orbital of the bridging ligand (PP-LUMO) is partly occupied in the MLCT excited states, but is unoccupied in the ground states; therefore, the vertical Ru(III)-PP⁻ (MLCT) energy is larger and the mixing coefficient smaller in these excited states than is found for Ru(II)-PP in the corresponding ground states.     

Preparation and Properties of Urease Immobilized onto Glutaraldehyde Cross-linked Chitosan Beads

Urease was immobilized onto the glutaraldehyde cross-linked chitosan beads that were prepared under microwave irradiation. The activity and the yield of activity of immobilized urease was 10.83 U/g B and 47.7%, respectively. The conditions of urease immobilization were optimized. The properties of the immobilized urease were investigated and compared with that of the free enzyme.     

Polyfunctional pyrazoles. 4. Synthesis of 3-[3-aryl-1-(2-ethoxycarbonyl)-4-pyrazolyl]acrylic and-propionic acids

3-(3-Aryl-4-formyl-1-pyrazolyl)propionic acids are converted by Knoevenagel condensation under conditions of microwave activation into 3-[3-aryl-1-(2-ethoxycarbonyl)-4-pyrazolyl]acrylic acids. Reduction of the latter with hydrazine hydrate in the presence of Raney nickel gives 3-[3-aryl-1-(2-ethoxycarbonyl)-4-pyrazolyl]propionic acids. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 686–690, May, 2006.     

Solution of periodic Poisson's equation and the Hartree–Fock approach for solids with extended electron states: Application to linear augmented plane wave method

We formulate a Hartree–Fock‐LAPW method for electronic band structure calculations. The method is based on the Hartree–Fock–Roothaan approach for solids with extended electron states and closed core shells where the basis functions of itinerant electrons are linear augmented plane waves. All interactions within the restricted Hartree–Fock approach are analyzed and in principle can be taken into account. In particular, we obtained the matrix elements for the exchange interactions of extended states and the crystal electric field effects. To calculate the matrix elements of exchange for extended states, we first introduce an auxiliary potential and then integrate it with an effective charge density corresponding to the electron exchange transition under consideration. The problem of finding the auxiliary potential is solved by using the strategy of the full potential LAPW approach, which is based on the general solution of periodic Poisson's equation. Here, we use an original technique for the general solution of periodic Poisson's equation and multipole expansions of electron densities. We apply the technique to obtain periodic potentials of the face‐centered cubic lattice and discuss its accuracy and convergence in comparison with other methods. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 3,7,7-Trimethyl- 1-phenyl-4-（3-nitrophenyl）- 4,5,6,7,8,9-hexahydro-1H-pyrazolo [3,4-b]quinoline-5（6H）-one

The title compound (C25H24N4O3) has been prepared by the cyclocondensation of 5-amino-3-methyl-l-phenypyrazol, m-nitrobenaldehyde and dimedone in glycol under microwave irradiation without catalyst. The crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction to be orthorhombic, space group Pbca with a=16.3331(10), b=13.8329(9), c=19.4163(12) A, V= 4386.8(5)A3, Z=8, Dc=1.298g/cm^3,μ=0.087 mm^-1, F(000)=1808, Mr=428.48, the final R=0.0519 and wR=0.1019. X-ray analysis revealed that the pyridine ring is of boat conformation and the six-membered ring fused with it adopts twist boat conformation.     

Microscale sample deposition onto hydrophobic target plates for trace level detection of neuropeptides in brain tissue by MALDI-MS

A sample preparation method that combines a modified target plate with a nanoscale reversed-phase column (nanocolumn) was developed for detection of neuropeptides by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). A gold-coated MALDI plate was modified with an octadecanethiol (ODT) self-assembled monolayer to create a hydrophobic surface that could concentrate peptide samples into a approximately 200-500-microm diameter spot. The spot sizes generated were comparable to those obtained for a substrate patterned with 200-microm hydrophilic spots on a hydrophobic substrate. The sample spots on the ODT-coated plate were 100-fold smaller than those formed on an unmodified gold plate with a 1-microl sample and generated 10 to 50 times higher mass sensitivity for peptide standards by MALDI-TOF MS. When the sample was deposited on an ODT-modified plate from a nanocolumn, the detection limit for peptides was as low as 20 pM for 5-microl samples corresponding to 80 amol deposited. This technique was used to analyze extracts of microwave-fixed tissue from rat brain striatum. Ninety-eight putative peptides were detected including several that had masses matching neuropeptides expected in this brain region such as substance P, rimorphin, and neurotensin. Twenty-three peptides had masses that matched peaks detected by capillary liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization MS.
