The mass spectral behaviour of 15 new type of organic phosphorus compounds with a considerable insecticidal activity, 1, 3,2-oxazaphospholidine 2-sulfides derivatives, under 70 eV electron impact has been studied by means of high and low resolution mass spectrometry as well as by B/E linked scan and MIKES/CID analysis. Discussion is focused into the isomerization between oxygen and sulphur in molecules and some rearrangement reactions.

GENERAL ALPHA-N INDEX AND ITS APPLICATION .2. THE CORRELATION BETWEEN THE GENERAL ALPHA-N INDEX AND PHYSICAL-PROPERTIES OF NEUTRAL PHOSPHORUS-COMPOUNDS

The relationship between the alpha-N index and physical properties of neutral phosphorus extractants is studied. Using the general alpha-N index which could describe extractants with minute difference in structure, the good correlation between it and various physical properties of the neutral phosphorus extractants (e.g., densities, refractive index, shift ratio of paper chromatography and IR frequencies of bond P = O) is obtained. The result indicates that general alpha-N index is a good topological index of organic compounds.

THE COMPOSITIONS AND STRUCTURES OF SOME COMPOUNDS IN THE SYSTEM CA-SR-CU-O

The system of Ca-Sr-Cu-O have been investigated. Two new compounds with compositions Sr3Cu5O8+alpha and CaSrCu3O5+alpha have been discovered. Both are orthorhombic with a = 6.489, b = 11.280, c = 12.240 angstrom for CaSrCu3O5+alpha and a = 3.950, b = 11.479, c = 13.420 angstrom for Sr3Cu5O8+alpha. The X-ray powder data for CaSrCu3O5+alpha, Sr3Cu5O8+alpha, Sr2CuO3 and SrCuO2 are presented. The oxidation state of Cu ion and oxygen contents are analyzed by iodometric titration. Sr0.5Ca0.5CuO2 that has a similar structure with SrCuO2 has been found and its X-ray data are presented also.

SYNTHESIS OF A NEW TYPE OF CH3CN-COORDINATED LANTHANIDE COMPOUNDS LN(CH3CN)9(ALCL4)3CH3CN

Acetonitrile is a weakly donating ligand. The cationic compounds of CH_3CN-coordinated transition metal are versatile homogeneous catalysts for the polymerization and isomerization of olefins and cycloolefins. The cationic compound of lanthanide[Eu(CH_3·CN)_3(BF_4)_3]_n was prepared from the oxidation of Eu with NOBF_4 in CH_3CN by Thomas in 1986. It was found that [Eu(CH_3CN)_3(BF_4)_3]_n can catalyze the polymerization of styrene cyclohexadiene and other olefins. However, there is no information about...

A METHOD OF FITTING TO MOSSBAUER SPECTRUM OF EU-151 AND ITS APPLICATION TO EUROPIUM COMPOUNDS

A method of fitting to Mossbauer spectrum of 151Eu has been proposed. The intensities and the positions of all the possible transitions between the sublevels of the ground state and those of the excited state of nucleus with spin I> 3/2 can be considered at one time in fitting to experimental Mossbauer spectra by this method. The method has been used to fit to the experimental Mossbauer spectra of europium orthophosphate crystal and of europium pentaphosphate crystal, and to derive Mossbauer parameters from...

RESEARCHES ON CHEMICALLY MODIFIED ELECTRODES - ELECTROCHEMISTRY OF 1-12 PHOSPHOMOLYBDIC HETEROPOLY ANION FILM MODIFIED ELECTRODE

A monolayer of 1:12 phosphomolybdic anion (PMo_(12)) was modified electrochemically on a glassy carbon electrode and its electrochemical behavior was studied with cyclic voltammetry (CV). It is shown that PMo_(12) film is adsoibed strongly on the surface of glassy carbon electrodes, H~+ ions in the solution plays an important role in the electrochemical processes of PMo_(12) film modified electrodes, whereas other anions, such as Cl~-, NO_3~-, SO_4~(2-), ClO_4~- and PO_4~(3-) etc., do not take par...

Antifeedant, antibacterial, and antilarval compounds from the South China Sea seagrass Enhalus acoroides

We investigated chemical constituents and the antifeedant, antibacterial, and antilarval activities of EtOH (ethanol) extracts of the South China Sea seagrass Enhalus acoroides. Eleven pure compounds including four flavonoids and five steroids were obtained. Among these compounds, three flavonoids were antifeedant against second-instar larvae of Spodoptera litura, two flavonoids had antibacterial activity towards several marine bacteria, and one flavonoid showed strong antilarval activity against Bugula neritina larvae. This is the first description of isolation and bioactivity of secondary metabolites from E. acoroides.

Two anthraquinone compounds from a marine actinomycete isolate M097 isolated from Jiaozhou Bay

Two anthraquinone compounds were isolated from the culture broth of a marine actinomycete isolate M097. The structures were elucidated as Aloesaponarin II and 1,6-dihydroxy-8-hydroxymethyl-anthraquinone by detailed interpretation of their spectra. It is the first time that the latter has ever been reported as a secondary metabolite from a wild-type strain. The results showed that the actinomycete isolate M097 could be a promising material for studying the biosynthetic pathway of polyketides and the production of novel recombinant polyketides.

Organic geochemical studies of sinking particulate material in China sea area(I) - Organic matter fluxes and distributional features of hydrocarbon compounds and fatty acids

Sinking particulate material collected from Nansha Yongshu reef lagoon and the continental shelf of the East China Sea by sediment traps has been analyzed and studied for the first time using organic geochemical method. The results show that about half of the sinking particulate organic matter in the two study areas are consumed before reaching the depth of 5 m to the sea floor and the degree of this consumption in Yongshu reef lagoon is larger than that in the continental shelf of the East China Sea. The distributions of hydrocarbons and fatty acids indicate that the minor difference of biological sources of sinking particulate organic matter exists between Yongshu reel lagoon and the continental shelf of the East China Sea, but they mainly come from marine plankton. Stronger biological and biochemical transformations of sinking particulate organic matter are also observed and the intensity of this transformation in Yongshu reef lagoon is greater than that in the continental shelf of the East China Sea. It is found that the occurrence of C-25 highly branched isoprenoid (HBI) diene may be related to the composition of diatom species.

Simultaneous Determination of Multi-Organotin Compounds in Seawater by Liquid-Liquid Extraction-High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry

The hyphenated technique of high performance liquid chromatography coupled with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (HPLC-ICP-MS) was applied to the simultaneous determination of five organotin compounds (trimethyltin, dibutyltin, tributyltin, diphenyltin and triphenyltin) in seawater samples. Agilent TC-C18 column was used for the separation, the mobile phase of HPLC was CH3CN : H2O: CH3COOH=65 : 23 : 12 (phi), 0.05% TEA, and pH value was adjusted to 3.0 by diluent ammonia. The flow rate was 0.6 mL . min(-1). Five mixed organotin compounds in a mix standard solution from 100 to 0.5 mu g . L-1 were applied for the method assessment. The experimental results indicate that the correlation coefficient of calibration curves (R-2) for each organotin compound was over 0.998 and the detection limits of the five organotin compounds were lower than 3 ng . L-1. Different mixed organic solvents including dichloromethane or toluene were used for extraction of organotin and the extraction condition of organotin from seawater was optimized. The 100 mL seawater acidized by hydrochloric acid was extracted by 10 mL carbon dichloride (CH2Cl2) with 2% tropolone for 10 min twice. Extracted organic solvents were mixed And blown to one drop by nitrogen with the rate of 1.7 mL . min(-1), then 1 mL acetonitrile was added to the drop for redissolving the organotin compounds. Finally, the mixed redissolution was filtered by 0.22 mu m organic filter membrane before analysis. it was found that the only organotin compound in seawater was triphenyltin (TPHT) and the content was 53.2 ng . L-1. The recoveries test from the standard addition for diphenyltin (DPHT), dibutyltin (DBT), tributyltin (TBT) and triphenyltin (TPHT) were over 80%. However, the recovery for trimethyltin (TMT) was relatively low and the value was 50%. The reason might be attributed to the decomposition or adsorption of those compounds during the extraction procedure. Further study on this subject is in progress.
