Development of a Solid-Phase Extraction Procedure for the Simultaneous Determination of Polyphenols, Organic Acids and Sugars in Wine

A solid-phase extraction (SPE) procedure that fractionates wine samples into 2 sub-samples containing sugars and organic acids (sub-sample 1) and low molecular weight polyphenols (sub-sample 2), respectively, together with rugged LC procedures for their analyses are described. Wine is adjusted to pH 2.5 and loaded on a styrene-divinylbenzene (SDB) cartridge. The organic acids and sugars are eluted with 20 mM sulphuric acid and the monomeric polyphenols with ethyl acetate. Glucose and fructose are analysed by normal phase LC with evaporative light scattering detection and the organic acids by ion exclusion chromatography with UV detection at 210 nm. Analysis of the phenolic fraction is performed by reversed phase LC with diode array detection. Recoveries and repeatabilitys for 27 standard compounds (2 sugars, 7 organic acids and 18 polyphenols) are presented. The method represents an improvement in terms of productivity and robustness compared to currently used procedures.     

Au Nanowire–Au Nanoparticles Conjugated System which Provides Micrometer Size Molecular Sensors

We report a new type of molecular sensor using a Au nanowire (NW)–Au nanoparticles (NPs) conjugated system. The Au NW–NPs structure is fabricated by the self‐assembly of biotinylated Au NPs on a biotinylated Au NW through avidin; this creates hot spots between NW and NPs that strongly enhance the Raman signal. The number of the Au NPs attached to the NW is reproducibly proportional to the concentration of the avidin, and is also proportional to the measured surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) signals. Since this well‐defined NW–NPs conjugated sensor is only a few micrometer long, we expect that development of multiplex nanobiosensor of a few tens micrometer size would become feasible by combining individually modified multiple Au NWs together on one substrate.

High Resolution Crossed Beams Scattering Study of the F＋HD→DF＋H Reaction

Crossed beams scattering study was carried out on the F＋HD→DF＋H reaction using high- resolution H-atom Rydberg tagging time-of-flight technique. Vibrational state-resolved differential cross sections were measured, with partial rotational state resolution, at eight collision energies in the range of 2.51-5.60 kJ/mol. Experimental results indicated that the product angular distributions are predominantly backward scattered. As the collision energy increases, the backward scattered peak becomes broader gradually. Dependence of product vibration branching ratios on the collision energy was also determined. The experimental results show that the DF products are highly inverted in the vibrational state distribution and the DF （v＇=3） product is the most populated state. Furthermore, the DF （v＇=l） product has also been observed at collision energy above 3.97 kJ/mol.     

The osmotic second virial coefficient and the Gibbs–McMillan–Mayer framework

The osmotic second virial coefficient is a key parameter in light scattering, protein crystallisation, self-interaction chromatography, and osmometry. The interpretation of the osmotic second virial coefficient depends on the set of independent variables. This commonly includes the independent variables associated with the Kirkwood–Buff, the McMillan–Mayer, and the Lewis–Randall solution theories. In this paper we analyse the osmotic second virial coefficient using a Gibbs–McMillan–Mayer framework which is similar to the McMillan–Mayer framework with the exception that pressure rather than volume is an independent variable. A Taylor expansion is applied to the osmotic pressure of a solution where one of the solutes is a small molecule, a salt for instance, that equilibrates between the two phases. Other solutes are retained. Solvents are small molecules that equilibrate between the two phases. The independent variables of the solvents are temperature, pressure, and chemical potentials. The derivatives in the Gibbs–McMillan–Mayer framework are transformed into derivatives in the Gibbs framework. This offers the possibility for an interpretation and correlation of the osmotic second virial coefficient using activity coefficient models.     

THE ASSOCIATION OF LIVING POLYSTYRYLLITHIUM IN BENZENE

The effects of the chain length,active end group and concentration on the association of living polystyryllithium (PS~-Li~+)chains in benzene were examined by a combination of static and dynamic laser light scattering in a cuvette equipped with a high-vacuum stopcock.The results show that long PS~-Li~+ chains(M_w>1×10~4)usually form dimers in the solution. In contrast,shorter PS~-Li~+ chains exhibit two relaxation modes,where the fast mode is related to the translational diffusion of the living chain dim...
