The preparation and characterization of amorphous SiCN thin films

Radio Frequency plasma enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (RF CVD) using N₂, SiH₄ and C₂H₄ as the reaction sources was used to prepare amorphous ternary Si _x C _y N _z thin films. The chemical states of the C, Si and N atoms in the films were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The refractive indexn, extinction coefficientk and optical band gapE _opt of the thin films were investigated by UV-visible spectrophotometer and spectroscopic ellipsometer. The results show that a complex chemical bonding network rather than a simple mixture of Si₃N₄, SiC, CN _x and a-C etc., may exist in the ternary thin films. Then's of the films are within the range of 1. 90–2. 45, andE _opt's of all samples are within the range of 2. 71–2. 86 eV.

用摩尔比为2:1的邻香草醛(C_8H_8O_3)与L-胱氨酸(C_6H_(12)N_2O_4S_2)反应,合成了一种新的双Schiff碱化合物--双{2-[(3-巯基丙酸钠)-2-亚胺基-甲基]-6-甲氧基-苯酚}(OVCS)。通过元素分析、红外光谱、核磁共振等手段对其组成和结构进行了表征,确定其化学式为Na_2(C_(22)H_(22)N_2O_8S_2),采用TAM air微量热仪测定了新合成的Schiff碱化合物(OVCS)在305.15 K时对粟酒裂殖酵母细胞作用的产热曲线;根据产热曲线计算了在OVCS作用下,粟酒裂殖酵母细胞生长代谢的最大发热功率p_(max)、速率常数k、传代时间tG、抑制率I和半抑制浓度C_(I,50)等热动力学参数。通过实验可以发现随着OVCS浓度的增加,粟酒裂殖酵母细胞的生长代谢速率常数k、生长代谢的总热效应Q_(total)、最大发热功率p_(max)均减小,抑制率I、达到生长代谢最大功率所需时间t_(max)、传代时间tG均增加等规律,半抑制浓度C_(I,50)为35.99 mg/L(或9.62×10~(-2)mol/L)。实验结果表明,OVCS对粟酒裂殖酵母细胞有抑制作用,且浓度越大,抑制作用越强。     

Reconstructing sea surface temperature,sea surface salinity and partial pressure of carbon dioxide in atmosphere in the Okinawa Trough during the Holocene and their paleoclimatic implications

The sediment core DGKS9603 collected from the Okinawa Trough was used as research target. By use of unsaturated indexU ^k₃₇ of long-chain alkenone, δ¹³C of POC and of planktonic foraminifera (G. sacculifer), the evolutions of sea surface temperature and partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere during the Holocene were reconstructed in the Okinawa Trough. And in combination of δ¹⁸O of planktonic foraminifera, the relative difference of sea surface salinity during the Holocene was also reconstructed. Consequently, three cooling events (E₁-E₃) were identified, each of which occurred at 1.7-1.6, 5.1-4.8 and 8.1-7.4 kaBP (cal), respectively. Of the three events, E₂ and E₃ are globally comparable, their occurrence mechanism would be that the main stream of the Kuroshio Current shifted eastward due to the enhanced circulation of the northeastern Pacific Ocean, which was driven in turn by amplified intensity of sunshine and subsequent enhancement of subtropical high pressure; E₁ corresponds to the Small Ice-Age Event occurring between 1550 and 1850AD in China. In the Oki-nawa Trough, E₁ might be also related to the eastward shift of main stream of the Kuroshio current driven by powerful Asia winter monsoon.

     

Experimental and theoretical studies of the reaction between cationic vanadium oxide clusters and acetylene

The time of flight mass spectrometer coupled with a laser ablation/supersonic expansion cluster source and a fast flow reactor was adopted to study the reactivity of cationic vanadium oxide clusters （VinOS,） toward acetylene （C2H2） molecules under gas phase （P, - 1.14 kPa）, under near room temperature （T, - 350 K） conditions. Association products, VmOnC2H2^＋ （m,n = 2,4; 2,6; 3,7-8; 4,9-11; 5,12-13; 6,13-16, and 7,17）, are observed. The oxidation of C2H2 by （V2Os）n^＋ （n = 1 -3） is experimentally identified. The reactivity of （V2O5）n^＋ decreases as n increases. Density functional theory （DFT） calculations were carried out to interpret the reaction mechanisms. The DFT results indicate that a terminal oxygen atom from V2O5^＋ can transfer overall barrierlessly to C2H2 at room temperature, which is in agreement with the experimental observation. Other experimental results such as the observation of V206C2H2^＋ and nonobservation of V2O7,8C2H2^＋ in the experiments are also well interpreted based on the DFT calculations. The reactivity of vanadium oxide clusters toward acetylene and other hydrocarbons may be considered in identifying molecular level mechanisms for related heterogeneous catalysis.

Ferrocenlyselenides (C₅H₅FeC₅H₄SeR, Fe(C₅H₄SeR)₂) and their complexes of metal Pt, Pd, Rh (R=undecenyl, benzyl, phenyl) have been prepared. The spectroscopic characterization has been examined by mass spectrum, XPS, IR and NMR. IR, NMR spectra of C₅H₅Fe C₅H₄Se (CH₂)₉ CH=CH₂PtCl₂ reveal C=C double-bond in Fe(C₅H₄Se (CH₂)₉CH=CH₂)₂ Pt Cl₂ is free because of binding with Pt(II). The results obtained from^H,¹³C and⁷⁷Se NMR indicate that invertomers ofmeso anddl species existence. The ratio ofmeso/dl for BUnSeF Pt is ca 70/30, whereas four and three invertomers for BUnSeF Pt and BBSeFPd have been clearly observed from¹H NMR spectra.

Simulation for the primary electronic donor of photosystem IIin vitro

Histidine coordinated to Chi a is a distinct characteristic of Chl ain vivo. By using histidine analogue of 1-methylimidazole (C₄H₆N₂2) and measuring the UV/vis absorption, CD and MCD spectra of the interaction between C₄H₆N₂ and Chl a in CCI₄, we have obtained that: (i) In pure CCl₄ solvent, Chl a molecule is in five-coordinate state, and two Chl a molecules form an asymmetric compact-dimer with strong coupling interaction. We propose that the two Chl a molecules are connected by two unequally coordinated Mg-O bonds (the two oxygen atoms come from the C=O of C13¹ keto and C17 ester, respectively); (ii) when the molar ratio of C₄H₆N₂/Chl a is 0.5 or 1 (corresponding to 2Chl a · 1C₄H₆N₂ and 2Chl a · 2C₄H₆N₂, respectively), significant changes have been observed in the absorption, CD and MCD spectra, which indicate that the Chl a remains in dimer form, but the coupling interaction between them reduces greatly. We postulate that C₄H₆N₂ replaces the ligation of C=O of C17 ester and C13¹ keto to Mg atoms sequentially. The two Chl a molecules linked by two weakly interacted Mg…O bonds form a relaxed-dimer. The structure of the model is essentially similar to that of the primary electronic donor, P₆₈₀, of photosystem II in high plants and algae.     

Synthesis, crystal structure and properties of binuclear manganese complex [(bipy)2Mn2(μ-O)(μ-Ac)2(H2O)2](ClO4)2

Binuclear manganese complex [(bipy)₂Mn₂(μ-O)(μ-Ac)₂(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂ was synthesized by the reaction of MnAc₃ · 2H₂O with 2,2′-bipyridine in the HAc-NaAc buffer (pH = 4.0). X-ray diffraction result for the single crystal shows that the crystal is monoclinic, space group C₂/C, with a = 3.408 2(7),b = 0.864 4(2),c = 2.174 9(4) nm, β= 105.2∘, V=6.186(2) nm³, Z= 8. There are two very strong peaks of UV-Vis spectrum in the range of 400–600 nm, which are similar to those of Mn catalase and Mn ribonuleotide reductase extracted from organisms. Cyclic voltammogram shows that the complex in CH₃CN undergoes quasi-reversible one-electron reduction and oxidation at E_1/2=1.15V.

Effects of nitrogen sources and glucose on the consumption of ethylene and methane by temperate volcanic forest surface soils

There is limited knowledge with regard to the consumption of ethylene (C2H4) and methane (CH4) in volcanic forest soils containing low microbial carbon-to-organic carbon ratio, and to the responses of both consumptions to nitrogen and carbon additions. Temperate volcanic forest surface soils under three forest stands (e.g. Pinus sylvestris L., Cryptomeria japonica and Quercus serrata) were used to compare CH4 and C2H4 consumption by forest soils, and to study the effects of nitrogen sources and glucose on both consumptions. There was a good parallel between CH4 and C2H4 consumption by for- est soils, but mineralization reduced CH4 consumption rather than C2H4 consumption in forest soils, particularly in a Pinus forest soil. The stimulatory effect of glucose addition on both CH4 and C2H4 consumption by forest soils was increased by increasing the pre-incubation period after glucose addi- tion, and a largest stimulation occurred in the Pinus forest soil. The addition of KNO3-N at the rate of 100 μg·g1 significantly reduced the consumptions of both C2H4 and CH4 by forest soils (P≤0.05). In the presence of urea plus dicyandiamide, the consumption rates of C2H4 and CH4 by forest soils were higher than those in the KNO3-N and urea-N treated soils at the same N rate (P≤0.05), but were similar to those of the control. Hence, under experimental conditions, there was a strong inhibitory effect of NO3 rather than NH4 addition on the CH4 and C2H4 consumption in these forest soils. When amount of the added NO3-N increased up to more than 2―3 times the soil initial NO3-N concentrations, both C2H4 and CH4 consumption rates were reduced to 10%―20% of the rates in soils without nitrate addition. By comparing the three forest stands, it was shown that there was a smallest effective concentration of the added nitrate that could inhibit C2H4 and CH4 consumption in the Pinus forest soil, which indicated that C2H4 and CH4 consumption of the soil was more sensitive to NO3-N addition.     

Crystal structure and magnetism of the binuclear Gd(III) complex Gd2(C12H8N2)2(C6H5COO)6

In the medium of H₂O, C₂H₅OH and HAC, the reaction of Gd(NO₃)₃·6H₂O with C₆H₅COONa and C₁₂H₈N₂ produced a novel binuclear Gd(III) complex in formula [Gd₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂ (C₆H₅COO)₆]. Crystallographic data: crystal system, triclinic; space group, P1; unit cell dimensions, a=1.191 9(2) nm,b =1.244 2(2) nm,c = 1.080 4(2) nm, α = 93.57(3)°, β= 113.33(3)°, γ= 105.06(3)°, Z=l. The finalR =0.037 6.

Synthesis and crystal structure of hydroquinone-β-cyclodextrin complex

The title inclusion complex with the formula [(C₄₂H₇₀O₃₅)₂·(C₆O₂H₆)₃·(H₂O)_21.2(CH₃OH)₂] has been crystallized and characterized by single crystal X-ray analysis. The complex crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P1, with a = 1.5500 (1), b = 1.5536(1), c = 1.8246(1) nm, α = 113.17(2), β = 99.12(2), γ = 103.37(3)o, V = 3.7739 (4) nm³, Z = 1; D_c = 1.343 g/cm³, μ = 0.124 mm^-1, F(000) = 1594, R = 0.0795 and S = 0.9639. Two independent molecules of β -cyclodextrin (β -CD) form a “head-to-head” dimer. The fairly important factor of the position and stability of the guest in the host cavity is the solvation of the polar group of the guest.     

Measurement of ethylene and methane production in a temperate forest soil using inhibition of acetylene and carbon monoxide

We studied in the laboratory the effects of acetylene （C2H2） concentrations on the accumulation and consumption of ethylene and methane in a temperate pine forest soil, and in situ ethylene and methane production and flush effects of nitrogen sources on both productions in the pine forest stand （Pinus sylvestris L.）. The addition of C2H2 at concentrations more than 50 Pa C2H2 in the headspace caused a more than 95% reduction in rates of ethylene and methane consumption in forest soil compared to those with no C2H2. Furthermore, addition of acetylene within a range of 50 to 10, 000 Pa C2H2 induced a similar rate of methane accumulation in forest soil. Hence, it can be concluded that presence of more than 50 Pa C2H2 in the headspace is an effective method to measure methane production in forest soil. The addition of C2H2 at concentrations more than 50 Pa C2H2 induced an increasing concentration of ethylene in the headspace （P≤0.05）, indicating the reduction of acetylene to ethylene in forest soil. Using inhibition of 0.5 kPa C2H2 in combination with 5 kPa carbon monoxide that inhibits the reduction of acetylene in a short term, it was observed that there was a larger in situ methane production rate （218±26 μg C m^-2 h^-1（μg C per square meter per hour, the same below）） than in situ ethylene production rate （92±6 μg C m^-2 h^-1） in the pine forest soil. The addition of nitrogen sources such as urea, urea plus a nitrification inhibitor dicyandiamide, and potassium nitrate, could induce a 5-fold greater increase in rates of in situ ethylene and methane production compared to those in the control, particularly in the latter （P≤0.05）. The results can promote in situ measurement of ethylene and methane production in forest soils at different sites.     

Comparative analysis of the dissolution kinetics of galena in binary solutions of HCl/FeCl<Subscript>3</Subscript> and HCl/H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>2</Subscript>

A comparative study of the dissolution kinetics of galena ore in binary solutions of FeCl₃/HCl and H₂O₂/HCl has been undertaken. The dissolution kinetics of the galena was found to depend on leachant concentration, reaction temperature, stirring speed, solid-to-liquid ratio, and particle diameter. The dissolution rate of galena ore increases with the increase of leachant concentration, reaction temperature, and stirring speed, while it decreases with the increase of solid-to-liquid ratio and particle diameter. The activation energy (E _a) of 26.5 kJ/mol was obtained for galena ore dissolution in 0.3 M FeCl₃/8.06 M HCl, and it suggests the surface diffusion model for the leaching reaction, while the E _a value of 40.6 kJ/mol was obtained for its dissolution in 8.06 M H₂O₂/8.06 M HCl, which suggests the surface chemical reaction model for the leaching reaction. Furthermore, the linear relationship between rate constants and the reciprocal of particle radius supports the fact that dissolution is controlled by the surface reaction in the two cases. Finally, the rate of reaction based on the reaction-controlled process has been described by a semiempirical mathematical model. The Arrhenius and reaction constants of 11.023 s⁻¹, 1.25×10⁴ and 3.65×10² s⁻¹, 8.02×10⁶ were calculated for the 0.3 M FeCl₃/8.06 M HCl and 8.06 M H₂O₂/8.06 M HCl binary solutions, respectively.     

Effect of fatty acids on polyamine contents and Na+/H+ antiport activity in PM vesicles isolated from roots of barley under salt stress

With 200 mmol/L NaCl treatment on barley cultivar “Jian 4” (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. J4) seedlings for 6 d, the contents of covalently and noncovalently conjugated polyamines (PAs) and activities of H⁺-ATPase in plasma membrane (PM) vesicles isolated from the roots decreased remarkably. Moreover, the activity of Na⁺/H⁺ antiport was detected first in PM vesicles. The results showed that the decrease in the contents of membrane phospholipid, noncovalently conjugated PAs and activity of H⁺-ATPase caused by NaCl could be restored partially by application of 1 mmol/L stearie acid (C_16:0) and linoleic acid (C_18:2), and C_18:2 was more effective than C_16:0 In addition, a reduction in the contents of covalently conjugated PAs was only reversed partially in the presence of C_18:2 Furthermore, Na⁺/H⁺ antiport activity was strengthened by exogenous C_16:0 and C_18:2 and C_18:2 was more effective than C_16:0. The correlative analysis suggested that, after application of C_16:0 and C_18:2 under salt stress, there was a significant positive correlation existing among phospholipid content, noncovalently conjugated PA levels, H⁺-ATPase activities and Na⁺/H⁺ antiport activities, indicating that one of the mitigative mechanisms of exogenous fatty acids on salt injury was to improve membrane phospholipid and PA contents, leading to an enhance in membrane integrity and a change in charge status of PM vesicles, so the activity of membrane-associated enzyme H⁺-ATPase was increased and synthesis of Na⁺/H⁺ antiport protein was activated.     

Measurement of the absorption spectrum of H2O+ in the visible region
