Applications of crown ether cross-linked chitosan for the analysis of lead and cadmium in environmental water samples

A new type of crown ether cross-linked chitosan was synthesized by the reaction of chitosan with 4,4′-dibromodibenzo-18-crown-6 (Br-DBC). Its token structure was analyzed with FT-IR and NMR and the adsorption behaviors for lead and cadmium in environmental water samples by FAAS were studied. In addition the best analysis conditions were discussed and the adsorption mechanism was explained. As the enrichment factor is above 100, both recoveries are 94%–106%, the detection limits of lead and cadmium are 0.5μg·L⁻¹ and 0.04 μg·L⁻¹ and the relatively standard deviations of lead and cadmium are 3.1% and 2.8% respectively, this new method was successfully applied to the determination of environmental water samples. This method is fast and simple and it greatly enhances the determination ability of FAAS for lead and cadmium.

Synthesis and structure of Cu5(BTA)6(TTA)4 · 5DMF, a copper-nitrogen cluster containing η Π3-benzotriazolate

The title cluster compound—Cu₅(BTA)₆(TTA)₄·5DMF was prepared using thenyltrifluoroacetone and benzotriazolate ligands. The crystal structure indicates that a tetrahedral array of Cu(1), Cu(2), Cu(3) and Cu(4) ions surrounding a central Cu(5) ion are held together by bridging tridentate BTA^- and terminated by TTA^- bond cap.

Kinetic studies of the decomposition reaction of dinuclear Fe(Ⅱ) adducts [Fe₂(N-Et-HPTB){O₂P(OPh)₂}](Cl- O₄)₂ (1) and [Fe₂(N-Et-HPTB) {O₂P(Ph)₂}] (ClO₄)₂ (2) with O₂ have been carried out at low temperature using UV-vis spectra. The decomposition reaction of Fe(Ⅱ)/O₂ adducts was first-order in the experimental conditions, and the activation parameters were obtained. ?H^¹ = 85.62 kJ·mol^-1, ?S¹ = 19.43 J·mol^-1·K^-1 for compound (1) and ?H^¹ = 97.97 kJ·mol^-1, ?S^¹ = 55.68 J·mol^-1·K^-1 for compound (2). These results are similar to those of dioxygen adducts of other metals complexes and natural enzymes such as methane mono- oxygenase (MMOH).     

Synthesis and light-emitting properties of organic electroluminescent compounds and their metal complexes

Several organic electroluminescent (EL) compounds, 2,2‘-(1,4-phenylenedivinylene)bis-3,3-dimethyl-indolenine (1), 2,2‘-(1,4-phenylenedivinylene)bis-benzoxazole (2), 2,2‘-(1,4-phenylenedivinylene)bis-benzothiazole (3), 4,4‘-(1,4-phenylenedivinylene)bis-quinoline (4), 2,2‘-(1,4-phenylene divinylene)bis-quinoline (5), 2,2‘-(1,4-phenylenedivinylene)bis-1,3,3-trimethyl-indolenine dichlo ride (6), 2,2‘-(1,4-phenylene-divinylene)bis-1-hydro-3,3-dimethyl-indolenine dichloride (7), 2,2‘-(1,4-phenylenedivinylene)bis-8-acetoxy-quinoline (8), 2,2‘-(1,4-phenylenedivinylene)bis-8-hydroxyquinoline (9) and metal complexes of 9, Al(PHQ) (10) and Zn(PHQ) (11), have been synthesized and characterized. The crystal structure of 6 was determined. Light emitting properties of the prepared compounds have been investigated. 1 produces an orange-yellow emission (λmax=575nm). The cation, 6, gives a red emission (λmax=607nm), which is shifted 32 nm to the red compared to 1.8 produces a yellow emission (λmax=567nm). The metal complex 10 gives a red emission (λmax=610nm), which is a red shift of 43 nm compared to 8. The change in structure in the prepared compound caused a change in the electron distribution in the compounds, which induces a large wavelength shift of the emitted-light. Thermal analysis showed that the decomposition temperatures of the metal complexes (10, 11) were higher than those for the smaller organic molecular compounds (1-9). Therefore, metal complexes (10, 11) can be used as EL materials over a larger temperature range.     

Density functional theory calculation on the C―H bond insertion reaction of dibromocarbene with acetaldehyde

The insertion reaction mechanism of CBr2 with CH3CHO has been studied by using the B3LYPI6-31G（d） method. The geometries of reactions, transition state and products were completely optimized. All the energy of the species was obtained at the CCSD（T）/6-31G（d） level. All the transition state is verified by the vibrational analysis and the internal reaction coordinate （IRC） calculations. The results show that the propionaldehyde （Hp1） is the main product of CH2 insertion with CH3CHO. The calculated results indicated that all the major pathways of the reaction were obtained on the singlet potential energy surface. The singlet CBr2 not only can insert the Cα-H [reaction I（1）]） but also can react with Cβ-H [reaction l1（1）]. The statistical thermodynamics and Eyring transition state theory with Wigner correc-tion are used to study the thermodynamic and kinetic characters of I（1） and I1（1） in temperature range from 100 to 2200 K. The results show that the appropriate reaction temperature rang is 250 to 1750 K and 250 to 1600 K at 1.0 atm for I（1） and I1（1） respectively. The rate constant and equilibrium constant are distinct in the range from 250 to 1000 K so that I（1） more easily occurs, while the reactions are not selected in the temperature range of 1000-1600 K.     

Resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization spectroscopy on the B′2Σ+ and B2Π states of NS

Resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization （REMPI） spectra of N^32S and N^34S have been recorded in the range of 35700-40200 cm^-1. The radical was generated by a pulsed dc discharge of a mixture of SF6 and N2 under a supersonic free jet condition. All the 16 observed bands of N^32S radicals have been assigned, among which 12 bands belong to three transition progressions （v′=0-4, 0）, （v′=1-4, 1） and （v′=2-4, 2） from the X^2П ground state to the B′^2∑^＋ upper state and the rest correspond to （9, 0）, （10, 0）, （11, 0） and （12, 0） bands of B^2П-X^2П transition, respectively. Analysis of the rotationally resolved spectra yields exhaustive spectroscopic constants of both the X^2П ground state and the B′^2∑^＋ excited state. The electronic transition bands of the isotopic molecule N^34S have been rotationally analyzed for the first time and the rotational constants of the ground and upper states have been determined simultaneously.

The bis(β-diketonato) Zr complexes CpZr(acac)2Cl (acac = acetylacetonato) (1) and Cp*Zr(acac)2Cl (2) can be synthesized by the reac-tion of Cp′ZrCl3(Cp′ = Cp or Cp*) with 2 equiv of lith-ium acetylacetonate. CpZr(acac)2Cl (1) can be quan-titatively prepared by treatment of Cp2ZrCl2 with ex-cess acetylacetone. The tris(β-diketonato) Zr com-plex CpZr(tfac)3 (tfac = trisfluoroacetylacetonato) (3) has been prepared by treatment of CpZrCl3 with so-dium trisfluoroacetylacetonate. The replacement of both chlorine atoms and one Cp group from zir-conocene dichloride by nonfluorinated diketone,acetylacetone,readily occurs at room temperature in triethylamine medium,offering the tris(β-diketonato) Zr complex CpZr(acac)3 (4). The complexes were characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopic methods. In addition,the molecular structures of complexes 3 and 4 have been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. When activated by excess methylaluminoxane (MAO),these complexes were active for ethylene polymerization,offering polyethylenes with high mo-lecular weights and narrow molecular weight distribu-tions. Complex 4 showed a very high ethylene po-lymerization activity of up to 7100 kg PE/mol Zr·h at 5 atm. Complexes 1 and 2 were also active for ethyl-ene/1-hexene copolymerization.

Quantum chemical studies on tuning the second-order nonlinear optical molecular switching of triarylborane derivatives

In this work, density functional theory (DFT) combined with the finite field (FF) method has been adopted to analyze the second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of the triarylborane (TAB) derivatives obtained by introducing different inductive electron groups into the phenylene ring of the TAB (RTAB, where R=2-C6H5-C2B10H10(1),R=F(2), R=Me(3),R=NO2(4),R=NH2(5)). The static first hyperpolarizabilities (βtot) of the RTAB molecules can be switched by binding one F- to the boron center (RTAB′) or one-electron reduction (RTAB"). The DFT-FF calculations show that the βtot values of 2′, 3′ and 5′ decrease while those of 1′ and 4′ increase compared with the values of their neutral molecules, which was attributed to the fact that the charge transfers of 2, 3 and 5 become smaller and those of 1 and 4 become larger by binding one F- ion to the boron center, according to time-domain DFT (TD-DFT) analysis. However, the incorporation of one electron enhances the second-order NLO properties of the RTAB molecules remarkably, especially for system 1. It is notable that the βtot value of reduced form 1″ is 508.69×10-30 esu, i.e. about 578 times larger than that of system 1. Frontier molecular orbital (FMO) and natural bond orbital (NBO) analyses suggest that the reversal of the charge distribution between the neutral molecules and their reduced forms leads to low HOMO-LUMO energy gaps (E0) and thus large βtot values for the reduced forms.

Photoelectrical performance of nanocrystalline TiO2 film electrode sensitized by Ru(II)-bipyridine complexes

Two kinds of Ru(II)-bipyridine complexes,cis-di(thiocyanate)bis(2,2′-bipyridyl-4,4′-dicarboxylate) ruthenium(II) andcis-di(thiocyanate)bis(2, 2′-bipyridyl-3, 3′-dicarboxylate) ruthenium(II), were utilized as the sensitizers to the nanocrystalline TiO₂ film electrodes. Study shows that the two dyes have quite different sensitization properties due to the strong steric effect of carboxyl groups. In addition, the pretreatment to nanocrystalline TiO₂ film electrodes with TiCl₄ was investigated, which is an effective way to improve the photoelectric conversion performances of sensitized TiO₂ electrodes.     

Synthesis and characterization of novel bridged porphyrins

Regulation of angiotensinⅡon Gαq/11 protein of vascular smooth muscle cell and its underlying mechanism

To study the regulation of angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ) on Gαq/11 protein of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) and its underlying mechanism, the protein synthesis was detected by [³H]-leucine incorporation. Gαq/11 expression was measured by Western blot in cultured VSMC of rat aorta. The results showed that the level of Gαq/11 was downregulated after stimulated by AngⅡ for 1—6 h, while it was upregulated significantly by 12—24 h stimulation (P < 0.01) in VSMC. The [³H]-leucine incorporation of VSMC was increased after 24 h Ang Ⅱ stimulation. The biphase regulation of Ang Ⅱ on Gαq/11 protein was blocked by the Ang Ⅱ type Ⅰ receptor (AT1) specific antagnist losartan or PLC inhibitor U73122, while PD98059 did not have this effect. These data indicated that Ang Ⅱ contributed to VSMC hypertrophy by regulating the level of Gαq/11, and this effect was mediated mainly through AT1 receptor-PLC signal transduction pathway.
