The crystal structure of the title compound [Cu (o-vanillin-ethylenediamine) (H2O)] is described. The complex crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Pbn21 with formula = CuC18H20N2O5, cell dimensions are: a = 0.7490(3) nm, b = 0.9256(2) nm, c=2. 4691(6) nm, V=1.712 nm3, Z = 4, Dc=l.51 g/cm3. The kinetics of thermal decomposition of the complex was studied under the non-isothermal condition by TG. Kinetic parameters were obtained from the analysis of the TG, DTG curves by integral and differential methods. By comparison of the kinetic parameters, the most probable mechanism function is f(α) = (3/2) (1-α)[-ln(1-α)]1/3, and the mathematical expression for the kinetic compensation effect is lnA = 0. 201E+0. 531.

The dynamic changes and mechanisms of Rehmanniae radix processing based on Maillard reaction

Background:Traditional Chinese medicines are usually processed before they are used for clinical treatment.This is done in a way associated with the Maillard reaction.Methods:Based on the Maillard reaction,this paper analyzed the degree of processing of rehmannia root(Rehmanniae radix)relative to the dynamic variation rules of Maillard reaction index parameters,including pH,A420,amino acids,and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural.Furthermore,this study introduced thermal analysis techniques and pyrolysis kinetics to assess the influence of the correlation between processing raw rehmannia root and the Maillard reaction during carbonization.It then went through the whole process of transforming the raw material to end-product in order to explain the scientific connotation of processing it.Results:The results showed that each time rehmannia root was processed,its pH value and amino acid content decreased,while the A420 value and 5-HMF increased.Processing with wine shows a significant difference in these experimental indexes.The position and intensity of the maximum thermal weight loss rate peak of processed rehmannia root at different degrees of processing are different.Comprehensive quantitative 221±0.2°C for processed rehmannia root carbonization was the processing temperature limit.Moreover,the kinetic solution verified that the activation energy corresponding to the carbonization temperature was close to the maximum value of the activation energy of the whole carbonization process,and the optimal mechanism function was g(α)=((1−α)−1/3−1)2.Conclusion:The Maillard reaction occurred during the processing of rehmannia root mixed with carbonization.With each increase of the number of steaming and drying cycles involved in the processing,the level of Maillard reaction increased significantly.The wine-steaming method had a significant effect on the quality of the processed product.

Thermal Characterization and Decomposition Kinetics of Free Anthraquinones from Rhubarb

The thermal behaviour of aloe-emodin, chrysophanol and physcion and their kinetics have been investigated under non-isothermal conditions by means of differential thermal analysis （DTA） and thermogravimetry （TG）. The thermal characteristics have been determined using the DTA and TG-DTG curves. The non-isothermal kinetic data were analyzed by means of the Achar method and the Madhusudanan-Krishnan-Ninan （MKN） method. The possible reaction mechanisms have been investigated by comparing the kinetic parameters. The kinetic equation for aloe-emodin, chrysophanol and physcion can be expressed as dα/dt=Aexp（-E/RT）1/3（1-α）[-In（1-α]2. The activation energy E （kJ mol^-1） of the three free anthraquinones are 78.09, 89.54, and 107.5 and their InA/s^-1 are 22.98, 36.85 and 43.60, respectively.

Interaction of host-guest complexes of cucurbit[n]urils with double probe guests

Three guests with two moiety probes for different Cucurbit[n = 6—8]urils have been synthesized. They are N-(2-methylenethiophen)-adamataneamine, N-(2-methylene pyrrole)- adamataneamine and N-(2-methylenefurfuran)-adamataneamine. The probes are methyle-nepyridyl typically for Q[6] and adamataneamine typically for Q[7]. The host-guest complexes of Cucurbit[n = 6—8]urils with these guests have been investigated by using NMR techniques and ESMS method. Also, thermoanalysis has been used for exploring relationship of enthalpy and stability of the host-guest complexes.

Highly efficient Nd:YAG/LBO laser at 473 nm under direct 885-nm diode laser pumping

In diode pumped Nd：YAG lasers, the quantum defect is the most important parameter determining the thermal load of the laser crystal, which can be dramatically reduced by pumping directly into the upper laser level. A compact folded three-mirror cavity with a length of 105 mm is optimized to obtain a highly efficient 473-nm laser. When the absorbed pump power （with 15.8-W incident pump power） at 885 nm into Nd：YAG is 10 W, a continuous-wave 473-nm blue laser as high as 2.34 W is achieved by LBO intra-cavity frequency doubled. The optical-to-optical conversion efficiency is 14.8%. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest efficiency at 473 nm bv an intra-cavitv doubled freauencv Nd：YAG laser.
