Shape resonances in slow electron scattering by aromatic molecules. I. Anthraquinone derivatives

A series of anthraquinone (C(14)O(2)H(8)) derivatives has been studied by means of electron capture negative ion mass spectrometry (ECNI-MS), photoelectron spectroscopy (PES), and AM1 quantum chemical calculations. Mean lifetimes of molecular negative ions M(-.) (MNI) have been measured. The mechanism of long-lived MNI formation in the epithermal energy region of incident electrons has been investigated. A simple model of a molecule (a spherical potential well with the repulsive centrifugal term) has been applied for the analysis of the energy dependence of cross sections at the first stage of the electron capture process. It has been shown that a temporary resonance of MNI at the energy approximately 0.5 eV corresponds to a shape resonance with lifetime 1-2.10(-13) s in the f-partial wave (l = 3) of the incident electron. The next resonant state of MNI at the energy approximately 1.7 eV has been associated with the electron excited Feshbach resonance (whose parent state is a triplet npi* transition). In all cases the initial electron state of the MNI relaxes into the ground state by means of a radiationless transition, and the final state of the MNI is a nuclear excited resonance with a lifetime measurable on the mass spectrometry timescale.

Determination of electron affinity of carbonyl radicals by means of negative ion mass spectrometry

Appearance energies of [M-H](-) ions from carbonyl compounds R-CO-R' (R,R' = H, CH(3), NH(2), OH) have been measured by means of negative ion mass spectrometry in resonant electron capture mode. Values of electron affinity of the corresponding radicals, CH(2)&dbond;C(X)O, NH&dbond;C(X)O and O&dbond;C(X)O, have been determined. Copyright 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Simultaneous determination of several amino acids, including homocysteine, cysteine and glutamic acid, in human plasma by isocratic reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorimetric detection

A method for the simultaneous measurement of two biologically important thiol compounds cysteine and homocysteine and five amino acids including neurotransmitters aspartate and glutamate is reported. This method utilized derivatization of compounds with o-phthalaldehyde in the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol following alkylation of the free sulfydryl group with iodoacetic acid followed by separation using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. These o-phthalaldehyde-2-mercaptoethanol-labeled compounds were separated within 30 min on a Spherisorb ODS-2 column with isocratic elution using 17% methanol, 0.04 M sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.0), 0.002 M Na2EDTA and detected fluorimetrically (excitation 340 nm, emission 450 nm). Using this method, the concentrations of homocysteine, cysteine, glutamic acid. aspartic acid, asparagine, serine and glutamine in human plasma were determined.     

Analysis of amino acids in human serum by isocratic reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection

A simple, sensitive and reproducible isocratic high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method has been developed for the determination of amino acids in human serum. The method involves precipitation of the serum proteins with methanol followed by pre-column derivatization of amino acids with o-phthalaldehyde-2-mercaptoethanol or o-phthalaldehyde-sodium sulfite. HPLC separation of the derivatives was performed using an ODS column with an isocratic mobile phase system and electrochemical detection (+0.75 V). The response was linear over the range 5-300 microM for all amino acids. The method allows quantitative determination of glutamic acid, asparagine, serine, glutamine, histidine, taurine, alanine, arginine, methionine, isoleucine, ornithine, leucine, phenylalanine, lysine and tryptophan at concentrations as low as 0.5-5.0 pmol (signal-to-noise ratio=2). Using this method, the levels of amino acids in serum from healthy donors and patients with ischemic stroke were determined.     

Influence of meta-extended rigid-core,complementary hydrogen bonding and flexible chain on polymorphism in Schiff-base liquid crystals: (4)MeOBD(3)AmBA:nOBAs

ABSTRACT

Schiff-base complementary hydrogen-bonded liquid crystals (HBLC), viz., (4)_MeOBD(3)_AmBA:nOBAs with flexible chain length for n = 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 and 12 are reported. ¹H; ¹³C-NMR and Infra-Red spectroscopy used to confirm the formation of HBLCs. LC phases and transition temperatures (T_c) determined by polarised optical microscopy (POM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). T_c and enthalpy (?H) determined by DSC also. Odd-Even effect observed at clearing and melting transitions. Influence of Schiff base and Oxygen as bridging atom promote smectic phase abundance. HBLCs exhibit tetra- or penta-phase variance. Maximum (penta) phase variance is exhibited by n = 8 and 12 with long flexible chain. Prevalent abundance of quasi-two-dimensional (2D) LC phases of SmF and SmI is observed. Nematic phase is quenched. Lower (n = 4) and intermediate (n = 6) members exhibited SmB_cryst phase. Predominant occurrence of enantiotropic LC phases is noticed. All members exhibited 3D tilted SmG phase. A-C transition exhibited by intermediate homologues (for n = 7, 8, 9 and 10) is found to be either second order or with very small enthalpy. Phase diagram reveals the abundance of multi-critical points with LC phasesinvolving exotic symmetries. Influence of meta-extended rigid core, complementary HB and flexibility is studied for the LC phase abundance with characteristic structural order. POM and DSC results are discussed in the wake of reports in other achiral calamitic LCs.
