    Pyraziflumid was a novel pyrazinamide analog fungicide developed by Nihon Nohyaku Co. In this work, 16 pyrazinamide analogs were synthesized using substituted pyrazine acid and 2-methyl-3-nitrophenol as initial materials through 4 steps. The structures of the target compounds were confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR, 13C NMR) and high resolution mass spectrometer(HRMS). The results of fungicidal activity at greenhouse showed that pyrazinamide analogs had excellent fungicidal activities against corn rust at 6.25 mg/L. Among them, the fungicidal activities of compounds 457815 and 16 against corn rust at 6.25 mg/L were 100%. Molecular docking simulations revealed that compound 16 interacted with TRP-173 of succinate dehydrogenase(SDH) through hydrogen bonding, which could explain the probable mechanism of action between compound 16 and the target protein. These results indicated that compound 16 might be a promising fungicide candidate and provide valuable reference for further investigation.

    Traditional epoxy networks were wildly applied in composites, adhesives, coatings, electronic packaging and insulating materials, due to their excellent properties and stable network structure. However, once epoxy networks are formed, they cannot be reprocessed. When epoxy networks are damaged during the serving time, they cannot be self-healed. Epoxy vitrimers networks with dynamic reversible covalent bonds can reorganized their network typology under external stimuli, contributing to network reprocessing and self-healing. Currently, most epoxy vitrimers show a high temperature for reprocessing and self-healing, consuming high energy. Herein, the epoxy vitrimers with tri-dynamic covalent bonds(boronic ester bond, disulfide bond and ester bond) were fabricated by epoxy-thiol “click” reaction and epoxy-carboxylic acid reaction. The structures of the prepared epoxy vitrimers were characterized by Fourier transform Infrared spectrometer(FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy, and hydrogen bonds were found in the prepared epoxy vitrimers contributing to improvement of crosslink density. Meanwhile, the thermal stability, thermo-mechanical properties and mechanical properties of the prepared epoxy vitrimers were investigated by thermogravimetry(TG), dynamic mechanical analysis(DMA) and tensile testing. Furthermore, self-healing, welding, shape memory and reprocessing capabilities of the prepared epoxy vitrimers were researched. The results display that at 80 ℃ the scratches on the prepared epoxy vitrimers can be fully recovered and the welding recovery of tensile strength of the prepared epoxy vitrimers is >80%, indicating excellent functionality.

    As a four-electron multi-step reaction process with sluggish kinetics, oxygen evolution reaction(OER) limits the reaction rate and reduces the overall efficiency of overall water splitting. Replacing OER with the oxidation reaction of thermodynamically more favorable organic energetic materials and coupling with hydrogen evolution reaction(HER), so that the high value-added chemical products can be obtained while reducing the overall cell voltage to generate hydrogen. In this paper, a novel coupling system was proposed, in which the energy-containing ionic salt, potassium azotetrazolium salt(K2AZT), was prepared on the anode side, and carbon cloth-supported tungsten disulfide nanosheets(CC@WS2 NSs) were used as HER catalyst to promote the HER on the cathode side. The system only requires a cell voltage of 1.65 V to achieve a current density of 10 mA/cm 2, which is 220 mV lower than that of conventional electrolyzed water(1.87 V). In addition, the coupled system maintained smooth operation for at least 15 h, showing excellent stability. At the same time, the preparation of energetic compounds by green and safe electrochemical method avoids the problems of high energy consumption, high risk and high cost of traditional organic synthesis method, and provides a new synthesis strategy for the safe production of energetic materials.

    Monodisperse polystyrene(PS) microspheres with the size range of 2-20 μm were prepared by membrane emulsification and subsequent drying in liquid technique using the shirasu porous glass(SPG) membrane. The PS microspheres size was about twice of the membrane pore size and was slightly affected by the PS concentration. The distribution of the PS microspheres was strongly dependent on the emulsification pressure, and in a certain pressure range, monodispersed microspheres were obtained. Furthermore, PS microspheres with pores on the surface were prepared by adding toluene into the dispersion phase. The hollow PS microspheres were obtained by drying in liquid technique based on the formation of multiple W/O/W emulsions.

    Studies on Amide Ⅲ Infrared Bands for the Secondary Structure Determination of Proteins
    XIE Meng-Xia, LIU Yuan
    Chem. J. Chinese Universities    2003, 24 (2): 226-231.  
    Abstract3857)      PDF(pc) (1101KB)(2803)       Save
    Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy is increasingly becoming an important method for quantitatively determining the secondary structure of proteins. Amide Ⅰ band(1 600-1 700cm-1) and amide Ⅲ (1 220-1 330cm-1) are two main bands for this purposes. Amide Ⅲ was neglected because of its relatively weak in signals, but there is not interference from water and water vapor vibration bands and it is more sensitive to the changes of protein secondary structure. In this paper, proteins BSA and RNase A were denatured by methanol. The component bands of secondary structure in amide Ⅲ were assigned by combining the quantitative results of amide Ⅰ band. α-Helix 1 330-1 290cm-1; β-turn 1 295-1 265cm-1; Random coil 1 270-1 245cm-1 and β-sheet 1 250-1 220cm-1. The overlapping area between the neighboring bands of different structures, such as 1 290-1 295cm-1, 1 265-1 270cm-1, 1 245-1 250cm-1, can be determined according to quantitative results of amide Ⅰ band. By using above assignments, the quantitative analysis results of the proteins in which the secondary structures have been known were consistent with that of X-ray data and amide Ⅰ band.

    ZnO films are grown by the plasma-assisted metal organic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD) on c-sapphire and are measured by XPS. The results show that comparing with O1s and Zn2p, Zn3d has more obvious chemical displacement which can help us study the characteristics of ZnO film more effectively. The binding energy of Zn3d electron becomes larger along with the strengthening of coupling between Zn3d or Zn3d+Zn4s and O2p. The temperature of DEZn is an important factor which affects the formation of covalent bond between Zn and O atoms.

    Robust and anti-swelling hydrogels based on commercial available polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) and chitosan(CS) were prepared via freezing-thawing cycle to prepare the precursor PVA-CS hydrogel firstly, followed by soaking in sodium chloride aqueous solution and dialysis against water to obtain the resultant PVA-CS-6.16-30 hydrogel. The microstructures of the two hydrogels were characterized, and their mechanical pro-perties were evaluated. Due to the multiple interactions of hydrogen bonding, crystalline region and chain entanglement, the obtained PVA-CS-6.16-30 hydrogel dissipated external energy more effectively. Compared with the precursor PVA-CS hydrogel, the free water content and mesh size of the resultant hydrogel declined from 62.8% and 6.11 to 52.6% and 5.21 nm, respectively. In contrast, the gel fraction, cross-linking density and crystalline degree of PVA increased from 58.6%, 7.69×10-4 and 14.8% to 86.8%, 9.97×10-4 mol/cm3 and 17.2%, respectively. Benefited from the higher cross-linking density and more homogeneous gel framework, the tensile strength, elongation at break, toughness as well as compressive stress of the resultant hydrogel increased to 2.9 MPa, 229%, 3.3 MJ/m3 and 7.6 MPa, respectively. Furthermore, it exhibited excellent anti-swelling and creep-resistant abilities. The resultant hydrogel maintained its original shapes and mechanical properties(tensile and compressive strength were 2.8 and 7.5 MPa, respectively) even after soaking in PBS aqueous solution for 7 d at 37 ℃. We hope that the full-fledged starting material, easy-operated process and balanced properties of the resultant hydrogel will promote the development of tissue engineering and biomedical materials for commercial applications.

    Multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWNTs) produced by the catalytic chemical vapor deposition(CCVD) method in a nano-agglomerated fluidized-bed reactor(NAFBR) have been treated in a vacuum furnace at the temperatures between 1 500 and 2 150 ℃. High resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM), laser Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction(XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis(TGA) were performed to characterize the annealed and purified MWNTs. The results reveal that the graphite layers of the tube-walls are more regular after the high temperature treatment, which can be characterized by Raman analysis. However, large defects in tube-walls can not be healed completely. Heating the nanotubes up to 1 800 ℃ essentially results in the removal of nanometer catalyst particles, and MWNTs with a purity of more than 99% can be obtained.

    Phenylboronic acid(PBA) can form reversible covalent bonds with cis-1,2-diol or 1,3-diol in an aqueous solution, which makes it useful as the glucose-responsive units or dynamic cross-linking groups in nano/hydrogels. In this paper, PBA was efficiently grafted on hydroxypropyl chitosan(HPCS) by employing 2-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)- NNN',N'-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate(HATU) as a coupling reagent in dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO). The resulting carboxyphenylboronic acid-grafted hydroxypropyl chitosan(CPBA-HPCS) was soluble when pH>8.5, and the structure was characterized and confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR). In addition, the kinetics of the reaction were studied and a series of CPBA-HPCS with different substitution degrees(up to 0.78) was prepared. This novel chitosan derivative has good application prospects in the preparation of smart hydrogels and drug carriers.

    Gold nanoparticles(AuNPs) with high surface energy are easy to agglomerate in water, which restricts their applications. In this study, poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide)(PNIPAM) microgel and AuNPs were combined by electrostatic interaction through physical blending method inorder to cause negative citrate-stabilized AuNPs absorbed on the surface of positive PNIPAM microgels. The prepared surface-covered AuNPs@PNIPAM particles not only have excellent dispersion stability, but also exhibit a temperature-dependent colorimetric property, showing a reversible change of “red→purple→red” during the temperature change of 25 ℃→50 ℃→25 ℃. In addition, the p-nitrophenol(4-NP) reduction reaction was used as the simulated catalytic reaction to examine the catalytic performance of AuNPs@PNIPAM. The results showed that the catalytic performance of AuNPs@PNIPAM first decreased and then increased with temperature. Compared to similar materials reported in the literature, the AuNPs@PNIPAM showed both temperature-colorimetric properties and catalytic performance.
