Thermal and FTIR spectroscopic analysis of the interactions of aniline adsorbed on to MCM-41 mesoporous material

The adsorption of aniline on Na-AlMCM-41 synthesized by us has been characterized by infrared spectroscopy, temperature programmed desorption (TPD), and differential thermal analysis methods. Aniline would be mostly bound to the mesostructure through weak pi interactions. On the mesostructure containing adsorbed water, the co-adsorption of aniline could occur by weak hydrogen bonding through surface water molecules. For water, two possible modes of adsorption have been identified. Different associations between aniline and hydrated and nonhydrated mesostructures have been evaluated in order to favor the posterior in situ polymerization of adsorbed aniline.     

Solid-Phase Synthesis of a Monofunctional trans-a(2)Pt(II) Complex Tethered to a Single-Stranded Oligonucleotide

Cross-linking ability is possible with the oligonucleotide-tethered, monofunctional trans-Pt(II) complex shown. It was synthesized by a novel solid-phase approach comprising conjugation of immobilized tetrathymidylic acid with a trans-a(2)Pt(II) building unit, ammonolysis, and transformation of the resulting complex (R=1-N-cyclohexylmethylthyminate) into the chloro derivative (R=Cl). a=NH(2)CH(3), T=thymine.

Enzymatic Method for the Synthesis of Long DNA Sequences with Multiple Repeat Units

A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) derived method for preparing long DNA, consisting of multiple repeat units of one to ten base pairs, is described. Two seeding oligodeoxynucleotides, so‐called oligoseeds, which encode the repeat unit and produce a duplex with 5′‐overhangs, are extended using a thermostable archaeal DNA polymerase. Multiple rounds of heat–cool extension cycles, akin to PCR, rapidly elongate the oligoseed. Twenty cycles produced long DNA with uniformly repeating sequences to over 20 kilobases (kb) in length. The polynucleotides prepared include [A]_n/[T]_n, [AG]_n/[TC]_n, [A₂G]_n/[T₂C]_n, [A₃G]_n/[T₃C]_n, [A₄G]_n/[T₄C]_n, [A₉G]_n/[T₉C]_n, [GATC]_n/[CTAG]_n, and [ACTGATCAGC]_n/[TGACTAGTCG]_n, indicating that the method is extremely flexible with regard to the repeat length and base sequence of the initial oligoseeds. DNA of this length (20 kb≈7 μm) with strictly defined base reiterations should find use in nanomaterial applications.

Some considerations to optimize the synthesis procedure and the structural quality of mesostructured silicas

Two methods for the preparation of highly ordered MCM-41 silica are discussed. The quality of the structure was optimized by adequate stirring of the reaction mixture containing low concentration of surfactant, followed by heating at 70 °C for 3 h under stirring. Besides this energetically favorable procedure allowed to obtain structures very stable upon calcination. The role of the ethanol and the hydroxide source in the synthesis process is also analyzed.
