By measuring characteristic fluorescence of n-propyl and isopropyl alcohol vapors produced by femtosecond filament excitation, it is found that they show identical spectra, that is, those from molecular bands of CH, C2, Nit, OH and CN, while the relative intensities are different. By comparing the ratios of the CH and C2 signals, the two propyl alcohol isomers are differentiated. The different signal intensities are ascribed to different ionization potentials of the two isomer molecules, leading to different production efficiencies of fluorescing fragments.展开更多

The results showed that mice receiving F9202 and F9204displayed obvious CPP. They could all significantly stimulate CREB phosphorylation and maintained for along time without affecting total CREB protein levels. The effect of F9204 was similar to morphine whicheffect was more potent and longer than F9202. We also examined the effects of ketamine, a noncompetitiveN-mthyl-D-aspartate receptor (NR) antagonist, on morphine-, F9202- and F9204- induced CPP and phos-phorylation of CREB in hippocampus. Ketamine could suppress not only the place preference but also thephosphorylation of CREB produced by morphine, F9202 and F9204. These findings suggest that alterationsin the phosphorylation of CREB be relevant to opiates signaling and the development of opiates dependence.NR antagonists may interfere with opiates dependence and may have potential therapeutic implications.展开更多

The resolution of lafutidine was 1.89 on ChiraSpher column with hexane-ethanol-THF-diethylamine (92:3:5:0.1, v/v/v/v) as the mobile phase. LC-MS methods were developed to identify the isomer peaks.展开更多

They are considered as promising candidates of clean(green) high energy density materials because of their high energy content and their sole decomposition product is N_2. Extending the previous work which was on cyclic N_8 isomers, in this study some cyclic N_(10) isomers having 1-4 cycles are considered within the limitations of density functional theory at the levels of B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) and B3LYP/cc-PVTZ. Some of the structures,including the monocyclic one, decompose by eliminating certain number of N_2 units while some remain intact. All the stable isomers(1-3, 6-8) investigated presently are highly endothermic that they are candidates for clean high energy materials. Certain quantum chemical properties, IR and UV-VIS spectra as well as the specific impulse values for the stable structures are reported.展开更多

The usefulness of UCA-FUKUI developed by Jesús Sánchez-Márquez to facilitate the theoretical study of chemical reactivity is exploited. All isomers are identified as local minima with single-point calculations on DFT/B3LYP/6-31G(d,p). The increasing order of stability by groups of isomers are group I;propn-2-ol, propan-1-ol, group II;propanone, propanal, group III;Ethylmethanoate, Propanoic acid, Methylethanoate, group IV;N,N-dimethylformamide, propanimino, and propanamide. The trend in reactivity of the various groups of isomers and specific points of nucleophilic and electrophilic attacks are presented. We noticed that most of the properties of these isomers taught at the fundamental levels are proven true theoretically.展开更多

Geometries, energies, and vibrational frequencies have been calculated for the two C16H12O4 isomers with pagodane-like structures at the B3LYP/6-31G^** level of theory. Symmetries of isomer 1 and 2 are D2h and D2d, respectively. Heats of formation for the two C16H12O4 isomers have been estimated in this paper. According to the heats of formation, the two C16H12O4 isomers are more stable than pagodane. Heats of formation as well as the vibrational analysis indicate that the two C16H12O4 isomers enjoy sufficient stability to allow for the experimental preparation.展开更多

Ketamine could suppress not only the place preference but also thephosphorylation of CREB produced by morphine, F9202 and F9204. These findings suggest that alterationsin the phosphorylation of CREB be relevant to opiates signaling and the development of opiates dependence.NR antagonists may interfere with opiates dependence and may have potential therapeutic implications.

文摘Geometries, energies, and vibrational frequencies for two C4N12O4 isomers with pagodane- and isopagodane-like structures have been calculated at the B3LYP/6-31G* level.Isomers 1 and 2 are of D2h and D2d symmetry, respectively. Heats of formation for the two C4N12O4 isomers have been estimated in this paper, indicating they would be reasonable candidates for high energy density materials.
文摘The cis and trans isomers separation of 2-butene-1,4-diol and lafutidine were studied by HPLC on two kinds of chiral columns: (S,S)-Whelk-O 1 and ChiraSpher. The isomers of 2-butene-1,4-diol can be separated on both chiral columns while the isomers of lafutidine can only be resolved on ChiraSpher column. The influence of different type and amount of mobile phase modifier on the isomers separation was extensively studied. The resolution of cis and trans isomers of 2-butene-1,4-diol was 2.61on (S,S)-Whelk-O 1 column with hexane-ethanol (97:3, v/v) as the mobile phase. The resolution of lafutidine was 1.89 on ChiraSpher column with hexane-ethanol-THF-diethylamine (92:3:5:0.1, v/v/v/v) as the mobile phase. LC-MS methods were developed to identify the isomer peaks.

文摘DunaIiella salina, a halotolerent unicellular green alga, can accurmulate a Iarge amount of β-caroteneunder environmental conditions. The isorners of β-carotene extIacted from D. salina culturedin medium with different nitrate and phosphate concentrations were analysed by HPLC with Alox-Talumins column. At least six isomers were found in different proportions depending on the culture me-dia’s nitrate and/or phosphate concentrations. Nitrate and/or phosphae defidency was conducive tothe accumulation of totaI cis isomers but not of al1 trans isomer. lt is sUggeSted that 1 mmol/L KNO<sub>3</sub>and 0.1 mmol/L KH<sub>2</sub>, PO<sub>4</sub> are favourable for accumulation of total cis β-carotene.
文摘Polynitrogen compounds, comprising only nitrogen atoms, are rare. They are considered as promising candidates of clean(green) high energy density materials because of their high energy content and their sole decomposition product is N_2. Extending the previous work which was on cyclic N_8 isomers, in this study some cyclic N_(10) isomers having 1-4 cycles are considered within the limitations of density functional theory at the levels of B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) and B3LYP/cc-PVTZ. Some of the structures,including the monocyclic one, decompose by eliminating certain number of N_2 units while some remain intact. All the stable isomers(1-3, 6-8) investigated presently are highly endothermic that they are candidates for clean high energy materials. Certain quantum chemical properties, IR and UV-VIS spectra as well as the specific impulse values for the stable structures are reported.
文摘An efficient, reproducible and rapid fused silica capillary column gas chromatographic method, in splitless mode, for analysing of the three chloroanthracene isomers is described. The method affords efficient separation and good linearity for each isomer in the range of 0.2 -200 μg/ml. The method can also be used in separation and determination of another thirty three aromatic and their halosubstituted compounds. This paper also presents the applications of the method in analysing of complex products mixture from reaction of the selected aromatic compounds with hydrogen chloride on fly ash surface from municipal incinerator.

文摘Electronic structure calculations have been carried out to study various closely related isomers with propane backbone which form part of our quantum chemical approach to inter and intra-molecular kinetics. The usefulness of UCA-FUKUI developed by Jesús Sánchez-Márquez to facilitate the theoretical study of chemical reactivity is exploited. All isomers are identified as local minima with single-point calculations on DFT/B3LYP/6-31G(d,p). The increasing order of stability by groups of isomers are group I;propn-2-ol, propan-1-ol, group II;propanone, propanal, group III;Ethylmethanoate, Propanoic acid, Methylethanoate, group IV;N,N-dimethylformamide, propanimino, and propanamide. The trend in reactivity of the various groups of isomers and specific points of nucleophilic and electrophilic attacks are presented. We noticed that most of the properties of these isomers taught at the fundamental levels are proven true theoretically.

文摘Two C16H12O4 isomers of derivatives of pagodane were firstly reported and studied by using DFT method. Geometries, energies, and vibrational frequencies have been calculated for the two C16H12O4 isomers with pagodane-like structures at the B3LYP/6-31G^** level of theory. Symmetries of isomer 1 and 2 are D2h and D2d, respectively. Heats of formation for the two C16H12O4 isomers have been estimated in this paper. According to the heats of formation, the two C16H12O4 isomers are more stable than pagodane. Heats of formation as well as the vibrational analysis indicate that the two C16H12O4 isomers enjoy sufficient stability to allow for the experimental preparation.

文摘Increasing interest has been paid to the development of earth‐abundant metal complexes as promising surrogates of platinum for the electrocatalytically and photocatalytically driven hydrogen evolution reaction.In this work,we report on molecular H2‐evolving catalysts based on two octahedral complexes of cobalt thiosemicarbazide,fac‐[Co(Htsc)3]Cl3·3H2O(C1,Htsc=thiosemicarbazide)and mer‐[Co(Htsc)3]Cl3·4H2O(C2),which have facial(fac)and meridional(mer)geometry,respectively.Electrochemical studies confirmed that both C1and C2are active electrocatalysts in MeOH solution using acetic acid as the proton source,with the same overpotential of^640mV and TOF of^210s–1.The complex C1also exhibits electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reaction in aqueous media free of organic solvent with a moderate overpotential(560mV).Visible light‐driven hydrogen evolution experiments were carried out in combination with fluorescein as photosensitizer and triethylamine as sacrificial reductant in homogeneous environments.Our studies showed that both C1and C2can be used as efficient proton‐reduction catalysts in purely aqueous solution and have the same photocatalytic activities.A TOF of125h–1with a TON of900for photocatalytic H2generation using C1and C2in water were achieved for the noble‐metal‐free homogeneous system.It should be noted that this is the first reported study investigating the effect on the catalytic hydrogen production performance of using fac‐and mer‐isomers of molecular catalysts.
