Highly chemoselective hydrogenation method using novel finely dispersed palladium catalyst on silk-fibroin: its preparation and activity

A palladium-fibroin complex (Pd/Fib) was prepared by soaking silk-fibroin in MeOH solution of Pd(OAc)₂ for 2 days (under Ar atmosphere)—4 days (under air). Pd(OAc)₂ was gradually absorbed by fibroin and the rapid reduction of fibroin conjugated Pd(OAc)₂ proceeded with MeOH as a reductant at room temperature to be the Pd(0) complex. Pd/Fib catalyzed chemoselective hydrogenation of acetylenes, olefins and azides in the presence of aromatic ketones and aldehydes, halides, N-Cbz protective groups and benzyl esters which are readily hydrogenated using Pd/C or Pd/C(en) as a catalyst.     

纳米银/丝素复合材料的制备及其光谱性质研究

开发可靠、生态友好的纳米材料合成方法是当今纳米技术发展的一个重要方面,基于天然生物材料如丝素蛋白原位合成来制备纳米贵金属溶胶是一种具有极大发展潜力的方法之一。文章在室温下以丝素原位还原硝酸银制得了纳米银/丝素复合溶胶,通过紫外-可见光谱、原子力显微镜、荧光光谱和共振光散射对其制备过程和光谱性质进行了表征。实验表明丝素链中的酪氨酸残基对AgNO₃还原生成纳米银颗粒起了主要作用,制得的纳米银粒子均匀地包埋在丝素胶体中,具有很好的分散性和稳定性,可长期保存。丝素蛋白与纳米银复合后,荧光强度明显增加,证明了丝素蛋白与纳米银表面之间形成了较强的化学吸附,在银表面形成了一个相对稳定的络合物致密层。同时利用共振散射光谱分析实验进一步证实了纳米银粒子的形成。
