    Silver sulfide nanocrystals were successfully prepared by γ-irradiation in water and ethanol systems, respectively, at an ambient pressure and room temperature. Sodium thiosulfate, thiourea and carbon disulfide were employed as the sulfur ion source. The products were characterized by some means including X-ray powder diffraction(XRD) , transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and X-ray photoelectron energy spectrum(XPS). The result of the experiments indicated that the kind of the solvent and the sulfur ion source had influence on the size of silver sulfide nanoparticles. An interesting phenomenon was found in the TEMimage of sampleⅡ: several long rods existed in the product and a tubular structure could be seen in one of these rods. The formation of this kind of special structure could be relevant to the coordination between thiourea and silver in water system.

    To investigate the characteristics of mass spectra of 3H-1,2-dihydro-2-(4-methyl-phenylamino)methyl-1-pyrrolizinone(SFZ-47), a novel anti-inflammatory and analgesic agent, and its metabolites, urine samples, which were collected from healthy beagel dogs after a single dose of 200 mg SFZ-47 was taken, were analyzed using electrospray ion trap mass spectrometry in a multi-stage MS full scan mode. The mass spectrometry was operated in the positive mode. The obtained mass spectra were analyzed by assisting with the software Mass Frontier 1.0 for their fragmentation pathways. Besides SFZ-47, four of its metabolites were identified in the urine by LC/MS. The full scan MS2 or MS3 spectra of each compound gave characteristic fragment ions of m/z 122 and depyrrolizinone respectively, whereas the ions of dehydration and neutral loss 176 u of two glucuronides were also found. These characteristics can be used for the future structure elucidation in metabolism of SFZ-47 and its analogues.

    A novel bonded stationary phase, octadecanamido imine bonded stationary phase(ODAI), for reversed-phase HPLC was prepared by bonding stearyl chloride to YWG-80 silica gel through 3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyltrimethoxysilane. Hydrophobicity, selectivity and silanophilic activity of ODAIphase were evaluated by using aromatic compounds as analytes and methanol-water as binary mobile phase. The organic components including acidic, basic, neutral aromatic analytes could be separated satisfactorily with an excellent selectivity and chromatographic peak shape. The asymmetry factors of basic aniline, o-toluidine and N,N-dimethylaniline were found to be 114, 106 and 101, respectively, using methanol-water(volume ratio is 55:45) as mobile phase. Aniline is eluted before phenol due to the internal masking interaction to suppress ion exchange activity of residual silanols.

    A new spectrophotometric method for the determination of trace heparin has been studied. The method was based on the discoloration reaction between heparin and bisphenylnaphthylmethane dyes such as victoria blue 4R(VB4R), victoria blue B(VBB) and night blue(NB) in weak acid medium. The reduction in absorbance was directly proportional to the concentration of heparin. The linear ranges of heparin were from 0 to 2.4 μg/mLfor all systems. The molar absorptivities(ε) of the three systems were between 2.11×106 and 2.66×106L·mol-1 ·cm-1 and the sensitivity of VB4R system was the highest. Taking VB4Rsystem for an example, the effects of some coexisting substances on the determination of heparin have been investigated and the results showed that the method had a good selectivity. The method has been applied to determination of the heparin samples with satisfactory results.

    In this paper, we report the investigation of the interaction between room temperature phosphorescence(RTP) probe, α-bromonaphthalene(α-BrN), and a series of cholate surfactants using RTPspectroscopy. It was found that intense RTP of α-bromonaphthalene can only be induced in aqueous deoxycholate sodium(NaDC) solution. This observation showed that the interior structure of NaDC aggregate was more rigid and efficient in shielding the excited state of α-BrN from oxygen quenching. The experiments suggested that the more chiral separation capability of NaDCaggregate of could be due to its more rigid interior structure.

    A simple and effective coupling of microdialysis and capillary electrophoresis with laser induced fluorescence detection technique was applied to the analysis of amino acid neurotransmitters in hypothalamus of rat after an acute exhausting exercise. The separation of amino acids was achieved by using an uncoated fused silica capillary(57 cm×75 μm i.d.) with a buffer of 10 mmol/Ldisodium tetraborate at pH 10 and an applied voltage of 12.5 kV. The detection limit was 10-10 mol/Lfor each amino acid. It is sufficiently sensitive and rapid for the determination of amino acid in 5μL Microdialysate. In comparison to pre-exercise, a significant increase in the levels of 6 hypothalamic amino acids(arginine, glycine, lysine, glutamic acid, alanine, γ-amino-n-butyric-acid) after exercise was found. These results demonstrate that increase of metabolic amino acids in hypothalamus of rats can be induced by exhaustive exercise and suggesting that amino acid neurotransmitters may play functional roles in the central effects of exercise.

    The central event in prion diseases(including mad cow disease) is the structural transformation of a single protein, i.e ., prion protein, from its benign form to its diseased and infectious form. Protein only hypothesis as an evolutionary model for viral replication has been tested in a rigorous way in prion research. In the diseases, the spontaneous and irreversible protein structural transformation was completed within a few months, the uniformly generated infectious prions displays an extraordinary resistance to inactivation, and exhibits a high ability to infect animals, suggesting that a vital energy source is required for the production of infectious prions. Considering the high oxygen-respiration rate in the brains of mammals, oxidative damage to prion protein can be the crucial factor. Both theoretical consideration of the nature of protein radical reactions and a large body of previously unraveled feature of scrapie and prion diseases have provided multiple distinct lines of compelling evidence, persuasively supporting a conclusion that the infectious agents are prion(free) radicals produced from protein oxidative damage. To facilitate a better understanding of the prion chemistry, in this multidisciplinary review, clinical, physiological, immunological and biochemical aspects of the diseases are provided to demonstrate for the frist time that diseased(infectious, scrapie) prions are very likely formed from prion radical-mediated oxidative damage to prion proteins.

    The nanoscales α-Fe2O3 /microporous resin catalyst was prepared by the ion exchange method and characterized by means of X-ray diffraction(XRD), transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and Mssbauer spectroscopy. The uses of these techniques make it possible to perform an estimation of the size of the iron oxide crystallites on microporous resin. The size of the crystallites has been found to be smaller than5 nm. The catalyst prepared exhibited a very good catalytic activity on the hydroxylation of phenol with H2O2 to dihydroxybenzene. The effect conversion of phenol reached 22.4% when phenol/H2O2(molar ratio) is 3 and the ratio of catechol and hydroquinone is about 1.4 in the products. The results didn't change when the reaction was magnified to 3000 times. Furthermore, compared α-Fe2O3 /microporous resin with α-Fe2O3 prepared from chemical precipitation, it was thought that the reason of different hydroxylation activity of phenol between the two kinds of catalysts was the size of particles in nature.

    Considering that the conformational units should be the same in solution as in crystals during crystallization equilibrium, the minimal crystal packing unit is determined by the style of protein aggregations in solution. Based on the comparison of MT-Ⅱ from rat liver and MT-Ⅰ and MT-Ⅱ from rabbit, it could be proven that in NaH2PO4-Na2HPO4 buffer, the aggregate of MT-Ⅱ from rat liver would be tetramer, not dimer. From the analysis of the crystal packing model, it could be naturally deduced that the crystals were obtained from the packing of tetramers; moreover, the crystal packing could be comprehended more deeply by using the tetramer packing model.

    CNx thin films were synthesized on Si(001) at different substrate temperatures(ts=room temperature, 350, 500 ℃) by R.F. magnetron sputtering method, Raman spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy and XPSwere used to study the relationship between the chemical binding state of CNx thin films and temperature. Raman spectra shows that with the increase of ts, Db and position shifted towards a lower frequency, while Gband position shifted towards a higher frequency. Their full width at half-maximum decreased from 375 and 150 cm-1 to 328 and 142 cm-1 respectively, and the ratio of ID/IG decreased from 376 to 288 too. Except for disorder Dband(1400 cm-1) and graphitic Gband(1570 cm-1), ca . 700, ca . 2210(C≡N), 2330(C-O) and 3255-3351 cm-1 (N-H) appeared in FTIRspectra. From XPS spectra we can conclude that with the rise of t s, mol ratio of N/Cdecreased from 049 to 038, while the compound ratio of sp2(C-N) to sp3(C-N) had a trend of increasing. Lower annealing temperature(350 ℃) had no significant effects on the chemical binding state of CNx thin film, but higher annealing temperature(900 ℃) led to the better crystallization degree of the sample.

    Structures of 1-phenyldibenzophosphole disulfonate(denoted as PDBPDS) and triphenylphosphorus trisulfonate(denoted as TPPTS) were optimized by using quantum chemical AM1 method. Both stereo and electronic structure show that PDBPDSacts as a better ligand than TPPTSin the Rh/Pcatalyst system of hydroformylation. The performance of the novel ligand PDBPDS in water soluble Rh complex, HRh(CO)(PDBPDS)3, was conducted in biphasic hydroformylation of propylene. The influences of reaction parameters such as reaction temperature, n (PDBPDS)/ n (Rh) and agitating speed on catalytic properties were investigated. The result shows that under the condition of 2.0 MPa, 100 ℃, n (PDBPDS) / n (Rh)=35, agitating speed 500 r/min and V (H2)/ V (Co)=1/1, TONis 2800 g(butyraldehyde)/ and the n (normal)/ n (iso) reaches 12.3, concentration of Rh in the organic phase is only 3.6×10-8 mol/L. Compared with the performance of TPPTSunder the same condition, both activity and selectivity are remarkably improved. Further, the catalyst can be easily separated from the reaction system.

    The surface activity and aggregate behavior of the mixed systems of N,N-[2-(10-undecenoylmethyltaurine)]sodium(UDMTS) and trimethyl [2-(10-undecenoyloxylethyl)] ammonium iodide were investigated. According to the regular solution theory, the molecular interaction parameters and the composition of the surface adsorption layer and micelle have been calculated. It was revealed that double bond at the end of hydrophobic chain, ester-bond and amido-bond near the hydrophilic group of the surfactant molecule reduce the molecular interaction between cationic and anionic surfactant molecules. Furthermore, tiny amount of fatty alcohol is effective to a transition from micelle to vesicle.

    Surface coatings developed in three lakes and a river in Jilin Province, P. R. China were used to study the role of the composition of natural surface coatings in controlling Pb adsorption. Extraction techniques were used to remove one or more chemical components from surface coatings. Pb adsorption to the extracted and unextracted surface coatings was measured. The observed Pb adsorption to the extracted and unextracted surface coatings were analyzed using nonlinear least squares fitting(NLSF) to estimate the relative contribution of chemical components to the total Pb adsorption of surface coatings. In different waters, the contribution to Pb adsorption for each chemical component was different, but in all the waters studied here, metal oxides(Fe oxides and Mn oxides) contributed the most, with a relative small contribution of organic phase.

    A multicomposite P2Mo18 /DODA self-assembled multilayer film was fabricated by casting the chloroform solutions of ionic complex between a dimethyldidecylammomium and a phosphomolybdate anion onto the borosilicate glass and calcium fluoride substrates. Infrared spectra revealed that the Dawson strcucture characteristic of the P2Mo18 O626- anion was presented in the composite film. Awell ordered superlattice structure, d-spacing 3.59 nm, was identified by X-ray diffraction. The composite film shows good photochromic properties. Under the irradiation with UVlight, the transparent film changed from yellow to blue. Then, bleaching occurred when the film was in contact with ambient air or O2 in the dark. If the UVirradiated films were stored in nitrogen, helium, argon or vacuum conditions, it could retain blue coloration for a long time. It suggests that oxygen plays an important role during the bleaching process. The photochromic mechanism of the composite film was studied by UV-Vis spectra, FTIRspectra and ESR. The appearance of IVCTbands shows that electron transfer occurs between the organic substrate and heteropolyanion, converting heteropolyanions to heteropolyblues with simultaneous oxidation of the organic substrate. Observation of UVinduced ESRsignal suggests that electron transfer takes place in the lattice and P2Mo18 O626- acting as an acceptor gets electrons during UVirradiation. The changes of IRspectra for the composite film after UVirradiation are another powerful proof to identify the DODA was oxidized and P2Mo18 O626- was reduced in the photochronic process.

    A new method of natural gas desulfurization has been developed by employing the heteropoly compound of the rich elements of our country. This method enables hydrogen sulfide to be removed and element sulfur to be recovered simaltaneously. The thermodynamic feasibility of simultaneous desulfurization and sulfur recovery from natural gas with the solution of heteropoly compound was proved to be applicable by the experimental result of potential pH-curves. At present, no proof was given on the exact number of electron transferred during the redox reaction between sodium phosphomolybdate and reductants including hydrogen sulfide. The research here also reveals the reaction mechanism between sodium phosphomolybdate and hydrogen sulfide. With the aid of ISE, DSC and EMS, the mechanism of desulfurization reaction was studied. The reaction products contain little deposition compounds of molybdenum and vanadium, indicating that sodium phosphomolybdate is still much stable in its chemical property after many times of absorption regeneration cycles, the agent loss is much lower than that of the chelate iron method. The chemical equation of sodium phosphomolybdate and H2S was proposed to be: H2S+Na2HPMo12 O40→S↓+Na2H3PMo10Mo2040 i.e ., there are two Mo(Ⅵ) atoms reduced to Mo(Ⅴ). Therefore, the theoretical saturation sulfur loading capacity of sodium phosphomolybdate is twice that of chelate iron with the same molar concentration.

    Pyridinium salt was produced by using reaction of vinylpyridine-SBR(PSBR) latex with propyl bromide, and then it reacted with aluminum alkoxide, alkyl titanate and active silanol to prepare a organic/inorganic hybrid elastomer latex(PSBR-MnOm). Akind of composite vulcanizate was obtained after the hybrid elastomer was compounded with natural rubber. Its mechanical performance is rather good and its hysteresis loss is quite high. In addition, it is similar in compression set to NR. Its structure was analyzed by FTIR, high-resolution NMR, DSC and TGetc .. It is believed that the existence of "huge metastable complexes" in the metal-containing composite vulcanizate may improve its mechanical properties.

    Living free radical polymerizations of styrene were studied with the initiator of benzoyl peroxide in the presence of TEMPO(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxy). The purpose of this paper is to explore the polymerization rate enhancement by means of using additives. It was found that styrene polymerization was distinctly accelerated by the addition of small amounts of a 1,3-diketone(acetylacetone, AAT) , a β-keto ester(acetoacetic ester, AAE) or diethyl malonate(DEM) and a strong organic anhydride(trifluoroacetic acid anhydride, TFA). However, some of strong organic acid, chloroacetic acid(CAA), bromoacetic acid(BAA) and 2,4,6-trinitrophenol(TNP) did not enhance the rate of the stable free radical mediated polymerization.

    Based on the insight into the mechanism of phase inversion emulsification in the presence of curing agents, a new method called surfactant free phase inversion emulsification was proposed to prepare epoxy resin waterborne dispersions. The waterborne particles are in sub-micron range with narrow size distribution. Transparent cured films could be formed from the dispersions even at ambient temperature. The stability of the dispersions could be enhanced by post-polymerization at a high temperature for some time. The knowledge about the phase inversion and the stability of the waterborne dispersions might provide a new way to enhance oil recovery.

    A rigid silica colloidal crystal template was formed by self-assembly of the monodispersed silica dispersion prepared according to Stöber method. Within the interstitial void of the template, β-diketonate titanium complexes[(dbm)3Ti(OPh)/MAO] catalyzed polymerization of styrene was carried out to form syndiotactic polystyrene(sPS)/silica composites. The titled ordered macroporous syndiotactic polystyrene was achieved by chemical decomposition of the silica template with concentrated aqueous hydrofluoric acid, which was confirmed by SEM results. FTIR spectra indicated that all silica was removed from the composites in this study. DSCrevealed that the as prepared macroporous sPSwas significantly different from the bulk one, and the unique properties were inherent rather than from the enforcement effect by the silica template. Further investigation concerning the inherent microstrucutures about the molecular weight and its distribution, tacticity of the styrene etc . and their dependence on the confinement is in progress.

    Four-armed star-shaped copolymer of methyl methacrylate(MMA)/ N-cyclohexylmaleimide(NCMI) with heat-resistance was synthesized by atom transfer radical copolymerization with the CuBr/bpy catalyst in anisole, initiated by tetra(bromomethyl)benzene. Alinear plot of ln([M]0/[M]) versus reaction time was obtained by using anisole as solvent. In contrast, the use of cyclohexanone as solvent results in that the rate of copolymerization decreases as the reaction proceeds. Using anisole as the solvent in the copolymerization, the molecular weight of the resultant copolymer(measured by triple detection SEC) increased linearly with the increase of conversion, and the molecular weight distributions are narrow. The glass transition temperature of the resultant copolymer was higher than that of the pure PMMA. The synthesized four-armed star copolymer was used as macroinitiator for the cationic polymerization of 2-methyl-2-oxazoline to yield star shaped poly(MMA-co- NCMI)/poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) block copolymers. The approximately linear increase of the molecular weight with the increase of reaction time and the low molecular weight distribution demonstrate a controlled chain extension reaction.

    The self-assembly between diazoresin(DR) and the homopolymer or copolymers of 4-N-hydroxyphenyl acrylamide(NHPA) has been investigated.It was confirmed that the driven force of the assembly is H-bonding attraction, in which the DR plays a role of H-acceptor, while the NHPA polymers act as a H-donor, Under UV, the multiayer films become very stable towards polar solvents. For example, no any change was observed when the irradiated film was immersed in DMF at 20 ℃ for 12 h, but the unirradiated film was destroyled completely when it was immersed in DMFat the same temperature for 20 min. The dramatically improvement for the stability of the film towards polar solvents should be attributed to the bond conversion of the layers from H-bond to covalent bond under UV irradiation.
