The title complex Co（DMSO）2（H2O）2（SCN）2 has been prepared and structurally characterized. It crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/n with a= 5.1981（9）, b = 11.944（2）, c = 12.646（2） A,β = 98.686（2）°, V = 776.2（2） A^3, C6H16CoN2O4S4, Mr = 367.38, Z = 2, De = 1.572 g/cm^3, F（000） = 378 and μ（MoKa） = 1.646 mm^-1.

In the title complex, each Co（II） atom is octahedrally coordinated by four O atoms from two DMSO ligands and two water molecules as well as two N atoms from SCN^- ions. The title molecules are connected to each other through intermolecular hydrogen bonds to form a 1-D structure extended by eight-membered Co2O4H2 rings.

Characterization of the Natural and Organomodified Clay Soil of Moukosso (Republic of Congo) by Dimethylsulfoxide: Application to the Adsorption of Lead (II) in Aqueous Solution

In this study, the authors characterized the raw clayey soil of Moukosso and modified by dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) by several analytical methods, namely: X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and gravimetric thermal analysis (TGA). The cation exchange capacity (CEC) was also determined. Mineralogical analysis by XRD revealed the presence of muscovite (29.7%), kaolinite (8.9%), anatase (2.4%) and quartz (58.9%). The characterization of the organo-clay by infrared and by thermogravimetric analysis confirmed the intercalation of DMSO by the presence of vibration bands at 1008 cm-1 and 1070 cm-1 and a strong increase in the loss of mass. The cation exchange capacity of the raw material is 7.4 meq/100g. Rapid adsorption of Pb2+ ions was observed between 5 and 15 minutes of stirring time in both cases (raw clay and organomodified clay). The modeling of the isotherms by the models of Langmuir and Freudlich showed that these are of type S with a maximum amount of adsorption of 22.471 mg/g for the fine fraction and 41.493 mg/g for the clay intercalated with DMSO. Langmuir’s model best reproduces the experimental data of this study.

Electrochemical Preparation of La-Fe Alloy Films in Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)

The cyclic voltammetry and potential step methods were used to investigate the electrochemical behavior of Fe 2+ and La 3+ in FeCl 2 LiCl DMSO and LaCl 3 LiCl DMSO systems on Pt, Cu and Ni cathodes. The electroreduction of Fe 2+ to Fe is irreversible in one step,while the electroreduction of La 3+ to La is quasi reversible. The diffusion coefficient of La 3+ in LaCl 3 LiCl DMSO system at 298 K was 3 1×10 -6 cm 2·s -1 . The diffusion coefficient and transfer coefficient of Fe 2+ in FeCl 2 LiCl DMSO system at 298 K were 2 54×10 -6 cm 2·s -1 and 0 24, respectively. La Fe alloy films containing La from 22 7% to 37 1% (mass fraction) were prepared by potentiostatic electrolysis on Cu substrates at a deposition potential from -1 750 to -2 450 V (vs SCE). The fine La Fe alloy films were also obtained by pulse electrolysis at a pulse current densities from 2 to 6 mA·cm -2 . The surfaces of these alloy films are smooth, adhesive and uniform, and have metallic luster.

不同浓度DMSO水二元混合溶液的拉曼光谱特性研究

研究了不同浓度下二甲基亚砜(DMSO)水溶液混合的拉曼光谱特性变化。随着水浓度的增加,S=O基团在1017 cm^(-1)处出现新的振动峰且强度不断增强,1029 cm^(-1)的反对称伸缩振动受到了抑制。此外,与C-S-C基团和CH_(3)基团的蓝移相比,S=O基团呈现出相反的红移趋势。采用量子化学计算密度泛函理论研究了DMSO-nH_(2)O(n=1,2,3)团簇的拉曼特性,随着水分子的数量增加,体系相互作用能更低,证明了体系更稳定,形成的氢键增多。当水的体积分数达到0.4时,S=O基团的振动发生显著变化,可能发生了相变。这对DMSO/H_(2)O二元混合溶液的内部结构有很大的影响。该研究有助于理解DMSO水溶液中的氢键体系,对于研究溶液中的分子微观结构具有重要意义。

Seasonal and spatial variations of dimethylsulfoxide(DMSO) in the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea

Seasonal and spatial distributions of dissolved and particulate dimethylsulfoxide(DMSOd,DMSOp)were measured in the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea during March–April 2011 and October–November 2011.The concentrations of DMSOd and DMSOp in the surface water were 20.6(5.13–73.8)and 8.90(3.75–29.6)nmol/L in spring,and 13.4(4.17–42.7)and 8.18(3.44–22.6)nmol/L in autumn,respectively.Both DMSOd and DMSOp concentrations revealed similar seasonal changes with higher values occurring in spring,mainly because of the higher phytoplankton biomass observed in spring.Moreover,the ratios of DMSOp/chlorophyll a also exhibited an apparent seasonal change with higher values in autumn(35.7 mmol/g)and lower values in spring(23.4 mmol/g),thereby corresponding with the seasonal variation in the proportion of DMSO producers in the phytoplankton community between spring and autumn.In addition,DMSOd and DMSOp concentrations in the surface seawater revealed obvious diurnal variations with the maxima appearing in the afternoon.

Electrodeposition of La-Ni Alloy Powders in Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)

The brown metallic luster La-Ni alloy powders were prepared by potentiostatic electrolysis technique in dimethylsulfoxide solution at room temperature. The atomic rate of La and Ni in alloy powders are 11∶1 and 10∶1. The size of metal grains is about 0.1 to 100 μm. It shows that the micrometer powders of rare earth alloys can be obtained by controlling electrodeposition conditions. The peak potentials of -2.81 and 1.75 V are attributed to reduction of La 3+ and Ni 3+ ions, respectively. The peak potentials at -2.20 and -0.168 V are the oxidation peaks of lanthanum and nickel, respectively. When potential is more negative than -1.74 V, La(Ⅲ) and Ni(Ⅱ) will codeposit. Increasing cyclic times, the value of peak current is decreasing, and the reduction peak of La(Ⅲ) was finally disappeared.

Crystallization of Two Cyanidebridged Bimetallic Complexes [LN（DMSO）2（H2O）3Co（CN）6]·H2O （LN=Pr or Nd, DMSO=Dimethylsulfoxide）

Two diadochy cyanide-bridged bimetallic complexes [Pr(DMSO)2(H2O)3Co(CN)6]·H2O 1 and [Nd(DMSO)2(H2O)3Co(CN)6]·H2O 2 have been synthesized, and their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. Crystal data for 1: monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 7.692(2), b = 30.791(10), c = 9.131(3) (A), β =100.645(5)o, V = 2125.4(11) (A)3, Z = 4, the final R = 0.0422 and Wr = 0.0904 for 3484 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I); and those for 2: monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 7.692(3), b = 30.902(11), c = 9.152(3) (A), β = 100.665(5)o, V = 2137.8(13) (A)3, Z = 4, the final R = 0.0515 and wR = 0.0906 for 3268 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). The LN atoms are linked to the Co atoms by cyanide bridging, forming a two-dimensional gridding structure. The LN3+ ions are both eight-coordinated by three cyano nitrogen and five oxygen atoms of two DMSO and three water molecules. The X-ray single-crystal structure analysis shows that the unbridged cyanide ligands between the closest layers interact with the coordinated water molecules through hydrogen bonds to connect the two layers. Therefore, the molecular structure is a 3D hydrogen-bonded network derived from LNCo chains.

A Room-Temperature Chloride-Conducting Metal-Organic Crystal[Al(DMSO)_(6)]Cl_(3) for Potential Solid-State Chloride-Shuttle Batteries

The growing demand for substitutes of lithium chemistries in battery leads to a surge in budding novel anion-based electrochemical energy storage,where the chloride ion batteries(CIBs)take over the role.The application of CIBs is limited by the dissolution and side reaction of chloride-based electrode materials in a liquid electrolyte.On the flipside,its solid-state electrolytes are scarcely reported due to the challenge in realizing fast Cl^(-)conductivity.The present study reports[Al(DMSO)_(6)]Cl_(3),a solid-state metal-organic material,allows chloride ion transfer.The strong Al-Cl bonds in AlCl_(3)are broken down after coordinating of Al^(3+)by ligand DMSO,and Cl^(-)in the resulting compound is weakly bound to complexions[Al(DMSO)_(6)]^(3+),which may facilitate Cl^(-)migration.By partial replacement of Cl^(-)with PF_(6)^(-),the room-temperature ionic conductivity of as-prepared electrolyte is increased by one order of magnitude from 2.172×10^(-5)S cm^(-1)to 2.012×10^(-4)S cm^(-1).When they are assembled with Ag(anode)/Ag-AgCl(cathode)electrode system,reversible electrochemical redox reactions occur on both sides,demonstrating its potential for solid-state chloride ion batteries.The strategy by weakening the bonding interaction using organic ligands between Cl^(-)and central metallic ions may provide new ideas for developing solid chloride-ion conductors.

Study on the analysis and distribution of dimethylsulfoxide in the Jiaozhou Bay

A chemoreduction-purge-and-trap gas chromatographic method has been developed for the deter-mination of trace dimethylsulfoxide （DMSO） in seawater. In the analysis procedure, DMSO was first reduced to dimethylsufide （DMS） by sodium borohydride and then the produced DMS was analyzed using the purge-and-trap technique coupled with gas chromatographic separation and flame photometric detection. Under the optimum conditions, 97% DMSO was reduced in the standard solution samples with a standard deviation of 5% （n=5）. The detection limit of DMSO was 2.7 pmol of sulfur, corresponding to a concentration of 0.75 nmol/L for a 40 ml sample. This method was applied to determine the dissolved DMSO （DMSOd） and particulate DMSO （DMSOp） con- centrations in the surface seawater of the Jiaozhou Bay, and the results showed that the DMSOd and DMSOp concentrations varied from 16.8 to 921.1 nmol/L （mean：165.2 nmol/L） and from 8.0 to 162.4 nmol/L （mean： 57.7 nmol/L）, respectively. The high concentrations of DMSOp were generally found in productive regions. Consequently, a significant correlation was found between the concentrations of DMSOp and chlorophyll a, suggesting that phytoplankton biomass might play an important role in controlling the distribution of DMSOp in the bay. Moreover, in the study area, the concentrations of DMSOd were significantly correlated with the levels of DMS, implying that the production of DMSOd is mainly via photochemical and biological oxidation of DMS.

Dissolved and Particulate Dimethylsulfoxide in the South China Sea During Winter

The distributions of particulate and dissolved dimethylsulfoxide(DMSOp, DMSOd) were studied for the first time in the surface water of the South China Sea(SCS) in January 2010. The concentrations of DMSOp ranged from 2.6 to 56.8 nmol L^(-1) with an average of 11.1 ± 2.2 nmol L^(-1), and those of DMSOd ranged from 11.8 to 335.1 nmol L^(-1) with an average of 50.0 ± 16.5 nmol L^(-1). DMSOd dominated over both dimethylsulfide(DMS) and dissolved dimethylsulfoniopropionate(DMSPd) by 1–3 orders of magnitude and represented the major dissolved dimethyl sulfur pool. In addition, DMSOp/chlorophyll-a ratios varied from 2.7 to 180.7 mmol g^(-1) with an average of 30.5 ± 9.6 mmol g^(-1). DMSOd concentrations displayed a significant negative relationship with sea surface temperature(SST) and sea surfaces salinity(SSS) in the whole study area. The distribution of DMSOd in the coastal waters was obviously influenced by the Pearl River discharge, with high concentrations appearing around the river mouth. In the offshore waters, a significant correlation was observed between the DMSOp and DMSOd concentrations, suggesting that DMSOd was mainly from the diffusion of intracellular DMSO rather than from the photochemical and biological oxidation of DMS.

Preparation of Er-Fe Alloy Films in Dimethylsulfoxide by Electrodeposition Method

Cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry were used to investigate the electrochemical behavior of Fe(Ⅱ) and Er(Ⅲ) in a LiClO 4 DMSO(dimethylsufoxide) system at Pt and Cu electrodes. Experimental results indicate that the reductions of Fe(Ⅱ) to Fe(0) and Er(Ⅲ) to Er(0) were irreversible at Pt and Cu electrodes. The diffusion coefficient and the electron transfer coefficient of Fe(Ⅱ) in a 0 01 mol/L FeCl 2 0 1 mol/L LiClO 4 DMSO system at 303 K were 1 70×10 -10 m 2/s and 0 08 respectively, the diffusion coefficient and the electron transfer coefficient of Er(Ⅲ) in a 0 01 mol/L ErCl 3 0 1mol/L LiClO 4 DMSO system at 303 K were 1 47×10 -10 m 2/s and 0 108 respectively. The homogeneous, strong adhesive Er Fe alloy films containing Er of 31 39%-42 12% in mass fraction with metallic lustre were prepared by potentiostatic electrolysis on a Cu electrode in a ErCl 3 FeCl 2 LiClO 4 DMSO system at -1 75--2 50 V( vs . SCE).

Study on Electrodeposition of Ho-Co Alloy in Dimethylsulfoxide

Co deposition of Ho with Co was studied in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) by cyclic voltammetry and potentiostatic deposition at room temperature. The cyclic voltammogram shows that the codeposition of Ho with Co can be attributed to induced codeposition mechanism, for the codeposition potential is more negative than the deposition potential of Co but positive than that of Ho. For the potentiostatic deposition used in Ho Co alloys preparation, the results indicate that in the range of selected concentration the potential is the main factor determining the content of Ho in Ho Co alloys, while the composition of Ho 3+ and Co 2+ in electrolyte solution has less influence. According to the analysis of X ray diffraction, EDAX, and scanning electron microscopy, uniform, compact and amorphous films on Cu can be obtained at -1 8 V (vs.SCE) in 0 165 mol·L -1 Ho(NO 3) -0 135 mol·L -1 CoCl 2 DMSO solution.

CHANGES OF POLYAMINE METABOLISM IN HL-60 CELLS DURING THE INDUCTION OF DIFFERENTIATION BY RETINOIC ACID AND DIMETHYLSULFOXIDE

The polyamines putrescine, spermidine and spermine have been implicated in the regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation. In this study, the changes of intracellular polyamine contents and activity of ornithine decarboxylase, a rate-limiting enzyme in the polyamine synthetic pathway, were studied. The results showed that both retinoic acid (RA) and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) could elevate intracellular putrescine level by more than 2-fold over control value, then it declined gradually. In RA-treated cells, transient increase in spermidine and spermine levels was noted. In contrast, the spermidine and spermine levels in DMSO-treated cells declined to about 50% of the level of control cells at 96 h. The measurement of ornithine decarboxylase activity demonstrated that the increase of intracellular putrescine in RA and DMSO treated cells was due to the polyamine synthesis by inducing ornithine decarboxylase which reached 2 to 4-fold higher over basic level at 2 h, and above 6-fold at 16 h. These results suggest that the polyamine metabolism may be involved in RA and DMSO-induced granulocytic differentiation of HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cells.

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON DIMETHYLSULFOXIDEINDUCED DIFFERENTIATION OF HUMAN ESOPHAGEALEPITHELIAL CARCINOMA CELLS

Objective The treatment of solid tumors by means of differentiation induction has not yet beengained such broken - through success as all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL).To explore more effective inducers for solid tumor therapy, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is considered as acandidate. Methods In the present study, DMSO was used as inducer to human esophageal cancer cell lines invitro, in compared with classical inducer ATRA, in terms of morphology, cell cycle, growth inhibition, cytokeratin4 expression, gap junction-mediated dye transfer and tumorigenecity in nude mice. Results DMSO as well asATRA induced differentiation of human esophageal carcinoma cells. However, DMSO was confirmed to be moreeffective for induced differentiation of esophageal carcinoma cells than ATRA. Conclusion The results suggestedthat DMSO might have a good prospect in the treatment of solid tumors.

Size and Weight Fraction of Solvent Crystals in Poly (Vinyl Alcohol) Gel Prepared from Dimethylsulfoxide/Water Solution

The size and weight fraction of crystals of pure ice or dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) in poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) gel prepared from a mixed solvent of DMSO/water were determined from melting peaks observed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The depression of the melting point with respect to the equilibrium melting point and the melting enthalpy gave the crystal size and weight fraction, respectively. The sizes were in the range of a few nm to tens of nm, depending on the composition ratio of the mixed solvent (DMSO/water) and the polymer concentration. Based on the weight fraction, the critical condition at which the whole solvent became non-freezable was estimated, and it was found to depend on both the PVA concentration and the DMSO/water ratio. When the solvent was pure water, the critical PVA concentration was as high as 86.4 wt%, while for pure DMSO solvent it was 50.1 wt%.
