    Three selenium-containing catalytic antibodies mHB4, mHB5 and mHB7, which acted as mimics of cytosolic glutathione peroxidase(cGPX), were prepared by chemically introducing selenium into monoclonal antibodies HB4, HB5 and HB7. HB4, HB5 and HB7 were raised against a GSH derivative GSH S DNP dibenzyl ester. The cGPX activity of mHB4, mHB5, mHB7 were 170, 1 867, 32 U/μmol, respectively. The cGPX activity of mHB5 was 0.32 fold of natural rabbit liver cGPX and 1.51 fold of m4A4. About two atoms of selenium existed in each of mHB5 molecule determined by inductively-coupled plasma/mass spectroscopy(ICP-MS). The optimal activity of mHB5 was at between pH 8.4 and 8.8. The reaction catalyzed by mHB5 involved a Ping Pong mechanism. At pH 7.0 and 37 ℃, the apparent second order rate constants for reaction of mHB5 with H2O2 and t ROOH were as followed: k+1 (H2O2)=9.71×106 L/(mol·min), k+1 ( t ROOH)=5.99×105 L/(mol·min). Rate accelerations( kcat / Km/ kuncat ) 9.8×106 and 3.7×105 fold those of the uncatalytic reaction were observed.

    Single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) was prepared by d.c. arc discharge method and purified by filtration method. After refluxed in HNO3, the ends of SWNT were opened and oxidized into carboxylate group, which may react with other reagents. For chemical modification of SWNT, the carboxyl terminated SWNT reacted with CH3(CH2)15 NH2 with the aid of the condensation agent DCC to obtain the derivatives of SWNT with the amido-alkyl chain which enhanced the solubility of SWNT in organic solvent. The results of micro IR prove the formation of amido group in SWNT sample(v(C—O)=1 647 cm-1 ). The FT Raman results show that SWNT sample preserve its structure after the condensation reaction( ωr=181 cm-1 ).

    The preparation of polyalizarin red film modified electrode(PARE) and its electrocatalytic properties to dopamine(DA) and ascorbic acid(AA) were investigated. DA and AA have different voltammetric behaviour on PARE. The electrode reaction of DA on PARE is a quasi reversible process, but the oxidation of AA on PARE is a completely irreversible reaction. The oxidation peak of DA can be separated from that of AA about 200 mV on PARE. Passing through sweep for two times in different potential ranges, DA and AA can be detected in the same system respectively. The reduction peak current of DA is proportional to its concentration in the range of 8×10-6 —4×10-3 mol/L and the detect limit can reach 8×10-7 mol/L. The oxidation peak current of AA is linear with its concentration from 4.0×10-5 mol/L to 2.0×10-2 mol/L. Detect limit of it reaches 1.0×10-5 mol/L. Compared to the direct derivative voltammetry, the analysis results are very satisfactory.

    People has known that the recognition between cells and bacteria is related to the glycolipid, as a receptor on the cell surface. Diacetylene moiety in the hydrocarbon region can be cross linked by UV irradiation to form the corresponding polydiacetylene polymer. Color changes of polydiacetylenes have been known to occur in response to a variety of environmental perturbations such as heating, pH, mechanical stress or in the case of biosensor, due to the strong π-π* absorption of the conjugation backbone. In this report, polydiacetylene mixed with mannopyranoside monolayer is prepared by Langmuir Blodgett film technology, E.coli K12 adheres on the monolayer surface after gram strain. The result shows that the mannopyraoside could be recognitized by E.coli, but couldn 't be recognitized by O111 B4 and S.flexneri.

    The (Y,Gd)BO3;Eu phosphor was synthesized by solid state reaction. The UV spectra showed that in a certain range of Gd3+ concentration, more Gd3+ absorbed energy and transferred it to Eu3+ with its increasing concentration. From the spectra in VUV region, it was observed that both the doping and the concentrations of Gd3+ , Eu3+ greatly affected the absorption of the host lattice. The absorbances at 147 nm and 170 nm increased when the Gd3+ was doped which can be explained as that Gd3+ transferred energy to BO4. The optical properties of (Y,Gd)BO3;Eu were the best when the concentration of Eu3+ was about 0.04.

    In this paper, 1H NMR study on fourteen isoflavones with various p substituents on B ring is reported. The effects of substituents on the chemical shifts of A, B and C ring protons are discussed. Unambiguous assignments of unsubstituted B ring 1H resonance spectra were made with the aid of superconductive NMR spectroanalysis. There is a linear relationship between the chemical shifts of B ring protons and the substituent parameters. The chemical shifts of 2'(6')-1H and 3'(5')-1H show a linear correlation with Hammett constants σp and substituent parameter S0 respectively. The resonance shifts of 3'(5')-1H arise from the electron and magnetic anisotropy effects, while the resonance shifts of 2'(6')-1H respond to the electron effects of the substituents primarily.

    The Cr-SZ/Al2O3 series solid superacid catalysts were prepared first by supporting Cr promoted SO42-/ZrO2(SZ) solid superacid catalysts, Cr-SZ, on γ-Al2O3 support. The variation rules of their superacidities, medium strong acidities and weak acidities were investigated by using model reactions. The surface area, sulfur content and zirconia crystallization as well as the catalytic activity of samples for n butane isomerization at low temperature were also studied in detail. It was shown that the both introducing Cr species and supporting Cr-SZ on γ-Al2O3 were beneficial to stabilize the tetragonal ZrO2 crystal phase that are supposed to be one of the basic conditions of superacidity. Moreover the SO3 contents of the supported samples were much larger than those of both Cr-SZ and SZ sample. The catalytic activities of some Cr-SZ samples for n butane isomerization were improved greatly after supporting them on γ-Al2O3. The improvement of both acidity and dehydrogenation ability of samples containing Cr makes contribution to the increasing of their catalytic activities for n butane isomerization. Cr-SZ/Al2O3 sample with proper acidity and dehydrogenation ability shows a high activity for n butane isomerization.

    Electronic absorption, fluorescence emission and fluorescence excitation spectra of amphiphilic porphyrins in THF(tetrahydrofuran) solutions and CTAB(cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) micellar solutions are acquired and studied. Tetra(4-hydroxylphenyl)porphyrin (P0) and its analogs with one (P1), two (P2) and three hexadecyl chains (P3) exist as the monomers in homogeneous THF, and their similar spectral characteristics indicate that the effects of the substituted hexadecyl groups on the electronic states of porphyrins are negligible in the homogeneous phase of non polar THF solutions. While the absorption spectral characteristics of amphiphilic porphyrins in neutral CTAB micellar solutions are different in the peak positions and FWHH of the Soret bands. P0 is proposed to be solubilized in the inner core of CTAB micelles, P1 is probably solubilized near the interface of CTAB micelles. P2 has a certain aggregating ability, P3 is the easiest to aggregate according to the FWHH(41.6 nm) of the Soret band. The substituted hexadecyl chains of the amphiphilic porphyrins also affect the pH-dependent fluorescence emission spectra on the relative intensity of Q bands. The fluorescences are quenched at different extents to nearly zero with increasing pH values.

    A series of novel oxadiazole derivatives containing π-excessive five-memberd ring heterocycle-thiophene(R—OXD) have been prepared as the electron transport layer in organic electroluminescent (OEL) devices. Their molecule structures were characterized by 1H NMR and elemental analysis. The results of cyclic voltammetry measurements imply that all these R—OXD but F OXD have a higher electron affinity( EA) than 2-(4-biphenyl)-5-(t-butylphenyl) 1,3,4 oxadiazole(PBD) which implies that they are better electron acceptors than PBD. So they are potentially better materials as the electron transfer.

    The response function β(r,r′) is a very important quantity in density functional theory(DFT). With the familiar Berkowitz Parr relation: β(r,r′) =- s(r,r′)+f(r)f(r′)S , it can be proved that the negative internal softness kernels equalize to the response function in the atom bond electronegativity equalization model(ABEEM). In this paper, the Fukui function f a—b of a chemical bond a—b and the response function β(a—b,g) and β(a—b,g—h) that is related with a chemical bond a—b are defined based on DFT and ABEEM, and therefore a new method for determining response function is proposed. With this method, the response function and therefore the softness matrix of the closed system are easily obtained. It is shown from many test examples that the response functions obtained in this way can correctly predict the more active site among the various kinds of chemical bonds.

    The CSTR-BZ reaction system described by SNB model, in which oscillatory dynamics is varied with flowrate k f, is studied by stochastic analysis. The implication of the minimum reaction concentration is discussed, and the continuous effect of flow rate is also investigated. Comparison with deterministic analysis approach and the results of experiment in CSTR-BZ reaction shows that deterministic description based on mass action law can still be applied effectively.

    In this work, the SO2 poisoning mechanism of model catalyst and powder catalyst of LaCoO3 has been investigated. The changes of the structure and the chemical states of the elements have been characterized using XRD, TEM, AES and XPS. The results showed that the perovskite structure of LaCoO3 was destroyed by the invading of S. Some La2(SO4)3 and CoO species were formed on the surface of the poisoned sample, while La2(SO4)3, La2(SO3)3 and CoO species were the main production in the interior of the LaCoO3 layer, which led to the loss of the catalysis activity. The content of S in the layer increased with the increase of temperature and time. After the sample was poisoned at a relatively high temperature or for a fairly long time, the distribution of S in the LaCoO3 layer became homogeneous with the depth and the concentration being decreased, suggesting that a dynamic equilibrium was achieved between the poisoning reaction and the decomposition of the sulphurous salts.

    Chemical force microscopy(CFM) was used to measure the adhesion forces between Au coated Si3N4 tip functionalized with —OH and —NH2 groups and gold sample functionalized with —NH2 groups. The curves of the adhesion force as the function of the solution pH values(force titration curve) was obtained. The pK1/2 of surface —NH2 groups estimated from the force titration curve is 8.4 by —OH functionalized tip and 9.0 by —NH2 functionalized tip.

    A novel docking algorithm based on the geometric match is proposed for protein-phage peptide complexes. The radii of gyration of protein-phage peptide complexes are used as the criterion of geometric match on the interface, which can be used to screen out the ligand structures with a good geometry fit without any prior description for the contact surface. The energy is evaluated for the structures with a good geometry fit. The algorithm is used to calculate the rigid and flexible docking of four protein phage peptide complexes and predict successfully the native like structures of phage peptides.

    The conformations of the complexes which are formed in the interaction between chiral stationary phase(CSP) and diniconazole enantiomers have been optimized by molecular mechanics. Using molecular mechanics, we calculated the bond lengths, bond angles, dihedral angles and total energies of those complexes respectively. The results show that both R-and S-species of diniconazole can form complexes ( R-CSP and S-CSP) with chiral stationary phase by two hydrogen bonds. The hydrogen bonds of S-CSP are stronger than those of R-CSP. As compared with R-CSP complex, S-CSP complex is more stable, and has a longer retention time than R species in chiral separation. Based on the factor that there are high rotational barriers for the main single bonds in both R-CSP and S-CSP complexes, we can get the same conclusion as in experiments that the separation results have little changes with the temperature. The π-π interaction between R-or S-species of diniconazole and CSP was not found.

    The effects of organic ethers such as diethyl ether, ethylene glycol diethyl ether and diethyl glycol diethyl ether on the structure of double metal cyanide complex catalyst and the structural changes of such catalyst in the process of propylene oxide polymerization were investigated by EXAFS. The results show that Co in all DMC catalysts is still coordinated by six cyanogens, while Zn is coordinated by O atom in organic complex. The more numerous the number of the ether bond, the higher the coordination numbers of O to Zn ion, the more active the catalyst we make. Five or six O atoms coordinated Zn ion may be the real active center in the process of propylene oxide polymerization.

    The complexation in toluene between SEPG, which was prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization(ATRP) with a block-graft architecture, and PS(OH) via hydrogen-bonding was investigated by viscometry and laser light scattering(LLS). In the process of complexation the soluble complex-micelles were formed. The viscosity measurements confirm the stable micellization based on hydrogen bonding. The LLS results revealed the dependence of the size and its distribution of the complex-micelles on both hydroyl content in PS(OH) and blend composition.

    The supramolecular SLCP induced by H-bonds is an oriented blend. By introduction of the self assembly into Flory Huggins theory, the free energy of mixing and chemical potential of components in isotropic phase were described. The free energy of mixing and chemical potential of components in nematic phase were calculated based on Maier-Saupe theory. The theoretical model on the equilibrium phase diagram of the oriented blend was thus set up. Direction and saturation of hydrogen bonds in self-assembly determine the capability of Host-Guest complex. This is a balance point at which the supramolecule has the highest stability, the Ti is the highest, so there is a peak in the phase diagram. The factors which affect the capability of the Host-Guest complex balance point are the interaction parameter of hydrogen bonds and carboxyl concentration in the copolymer. The stability increases with increase in interaction parameter of H-bond and carboxyl concentration; furthermore, the peak shifts to a low concentration of low mass molecule. There is a critical value for the molecular weight, which affects the stability of mesophase. Over it, Ti is independent on the molecular weight, and the self-assembly is decoupled completely.

    Two series of PMMA samples have been synthesized by Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization(ATRP) with and without catalytic promoter(aluminum isopropoxide, (i-PrO)3Al in the temperature range of 0~100 ℃. Their tacticity has been determined by 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance(NMR). The results showed that the polymers by ATRP were all predominantly syndiotactic, and the tendency to form syndiotactic sequences decreased with the polymerization temperature increase. The tacticity of PMMA was influenced by catalytic promoter, [(i-PrO)3Al], because it coordinates with the ester carbonyl group of polymer chain end. The activation parameters governing the tacticity of ATRP were calculated. The results indicate that the same type of active species is present in ATRP and conventional radical system.

    Cu doped ZnSe nanocrystals were synthesized in aqueous solution, the optical properties of which could be controlled accordingly. By the layer-by-layer self-assembly method, the ZnSe;Cu/polyelectrolytes multilayer film was fabricated successfully, which was characterized by UV-Vis absorption spectra, XPS and TEM et al .. The surface structure of nanoparticles and the valence of copper could be controlled by the surface modification with reflux, indicated by the increasing of fluorescence efficiency and the XPS results. Moreover, the average size of ZnSe;Cu nanocrystals was found to be~3 nm without obvious aggregation. The films assembled in this way can make brighter luminescence possible.

    Four novel poly(urethane imide)s(PUIs) containing a diazo nonlinear optical chromophore in the side chain were synthesized by a two step process, which includes preparation of diazo chromophore containing diisocyanates followed by the condensation reaction with dianhydrides. The PUIs obtained were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, DSC and TGA. All PUIs exhibit a maximum UV-Vis absorption of the diazo chromophore at the wavelength of about 490 nm. They are soluble in aprotic solvents such as NMP, DMAc, DMF, DMSO and 1,4-butyrolactone. Some are even soluble in common low boiling point solvents such as THF. The high organo solubility of PUIs results from the existence of the flexible urethane moiety in the backbone and a side chain chromophore, which leads to loose chain packing and enlarge free volume. The intrinsic viscosities of PUIs are 0.16~0.31 dL/g. The PUIs possess glass transition temperatures( Tg) at 171~211 ℃, which are much higher than the corresponding side chain nonlinear optical(NLO) polyurethanes. PUIs based on 4,4′-(hexafluoroisopropylidene) diphthalic anhydride(6FDA) and tolulene 2,4-diisocyanate(TDI) possess higher Tg than those based on 3,3′ , 4,4′-diphenylether-tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride(OPDA) and methylenediphenylene diisocyanate(MDI). Two steps of weight loss are found in TGA curves of PUIs. The initial decomposition temperatures of PUIs are around 300 ℃, which is attributed to the thermal decomposition of the urethane moiety and the side chain chromophore.

    After studying the measurement method of peroxide concentration by iodometry, the decomposition kinetics of five types of peroxides were investigated in detail. On the basis of the additive property for rate, a decomposition kinetic model of peroxide-mixtured initiator has been deduced. The model values of decomposition rate constant coincided with the experimental data. The kinetic behavior of the vinyl chloride suspension polymerization with peroxide mixture as initiators can be predicated by using the model of decomposition rate constant of peroxide mixture and simulating the model of vinyl chloride polymerization.
