The field of medicinal chemistry is currently witnessing a deuterium rush owing to the remarkable properties of this element as bioisoster of hydrogen atom. Aromatic hydrogen isotope exchange (HIE) is one of the most studied strategies nowadays as it promises to access deuterium-modified drugs directly from their non-labeled parents. While most of the recent studies focus on metal-catalyzed C−H activation strategy, the use of superacidic conditions has been largely overlooked. This study shows that the use of TfOD as reaction medium allows the late-stage polydeuteration of a broad library of pharmaceuticals bearing a wide array of functional groups, complementing existing procedures. 相似文献
When finally processed to provide the function for which the latex was selected―binding, protecting, finishing―components such as surfactant, costabilizer or initiator become generally useless, not to say detrimental. In this study, we show that miniemulsion photopolymerization provides a suitable method to create latex without the apparent addition of these three compounds. Indeed, UV-driven monomer self-initiation can create initiating radicals without the aid of initiator, the fast in situ photogenerated polymer can hinder Ostwald ripening with the assistance of external costabilizer, and finally, UV-transparent clay can replace conventional surfactant to ensure colloidal stabilization. Each strategy has been developed individually before being combined together to end up with a unique miniemulsion procedure free of initiator, costabilizer and surfactant. Such approach paves the way to a simplified and environmentally improved pathway towards aqueous polymer dispersions. 相似文献
In a recent article, Ollis analyzed heretofore reported photocatalyst kinetics of surface photochemical reactions that take place in heterogeneous systems and that rely heavily on the Langmuir-Hinshelwood (LH) kinetic model to interpret the experimental observations. This model assumes a fast adsorption/desorption equilibrium step and a subsequent slow surface step. His interesting analysis of the experimental results reported in 2000 by Emeline and co-workers, Xu and Langford, and Martyanov and Savinov prompted our reexamination of the LH kinetic model along with several other dogmas that continue to propagate in the heterogeneous photocatalytic landscape. This short article discusses some of these issues and reexamines certain misinterpretations. Specifically, we reexamine (1) the a priori assumed validity of the LH kinetic model in heterogeneous photocatalysis, (2) the recombination of photogenerated free charge carriers on the solid (metal oxide) photocatalyst by the band-to-band recombination pathway, and (3) the mistaken assertion that the kinetics of a heterogeneous photoreaction are either only first-order dependent or half-order dependent on photon flow (i.e., light irradiance). 相似文献
Laser desorption ionization using time-of-flight mass spectrometer afforded with quadrupole ion trap was used to study As2Ch3 (Ch = S, Se, and Te) bulk chalcogenide materials. The main goal of the study is the identification of species present in the plasma originating from the interaction of laser pulses with solid state material. The generated clusters in both positive and negative ion mode are identified as 10 unary (Sp+/– and Asm+/–) and 34 binary (AsmSp+/–) species for As2S3 glass, 2 unary (Seq+/–) and 26 binary (AsmSeq+/–) species for As2Se3 glass, 7 unary (Ter+/–) and 23 binary (AsmTer+/–) species for As2Te3 material. The fragmentation of chalcogenide materials was diminished using some polymers and in this way 45 new, higher mass clusters have been detected. This novel approach opens a new possibility for laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry analysis of chalcogenides as well as other materials.
A high-density array of opto-electrochemical nanosensors is presented for remote DNA detection. It was fabricated by chemical etching of a coherent optical fibre bundle to produce a nanotip array. The surface of the etched bundle was sputter-coated with a thin ITO layer which was eventually insulated by an electrophoretic paint. The fabrication steps produced a high-density array of electrochemical nanosensors which retains the optical fibre bundle architecture and its imaging properties. A DNA probe was then immobilized on the nanosensor array surface in a polypyrrole film by electropolymerisation. After hybridisation with the complementary sequence, detection of the strepavidin-R-phycoerythrin label is performed by fluorescence imaging through the optical fibre bundle itself. Control experiments and regeneration steps have also been successfully demonstrated on this nanostructured opto-electrochemical platform. 相似文献
The electrospinning method is employed to prepare a fibrous TiO2-SiO2 (Ti : Si = 1 : 2) nanocomposite photocatalyst, in which Degussa P25 T i O2 nanoparticles are embedded inthe body of SiO2 fibers and which shows good photocatalytic activity due to its 3-D open structure, as evidenced by photocatalytic reduction of silver ions and decomposition of acetaldehyde. 相似文献
In this work, we reported the preparation of a novel biomaterial, by graft-polymerization of 2-2-dimethyl-1-3-dioxolan-4-yl methyl acrylate (solketalacrylate, DMDMA) on hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) using KPS as initiator. Several experiments were performed to found the optimum conditions for the preparation of this biopolymer, by varying the time of the reaction as well as the initiator and the monomer ratio. Results showed that the highest grafting yield was 25%, obtained after 72?minutes at 65?°C, using THF as solvent. The structure of the grafted copolymer was confirmed by X-ray diffraction patterns which showed, besides the characteristic peaks of HEC at 2θ?=?31.74° and 44.63° a new peak at 2θ?=?30.72° related to an organized structure of the grafted polymer on the HEC backbone. The DSC analysis showed a single glass transition temperature Tg, intermediate between the corresponding values for HEC and neat poly(solketal acrylate). Moreover, the grafted biomaterial presented two-fold more moisture absorption ability by comparison with HEC, making this new synthetic biomaterial highly promising for dryness applications. In our knowledge, the synthesized monomer: 2-2-dimethyl-1-3-dioxolan-4-yl methyl acrylate, (solketal acrylate, DMDMA), has never been grafted on the HEC backbones before that is what makes the novelty of the present work. 相似文献
