Kinetic isotope effects of proton transfer reaction for amines by ultrasonic relaxation methods: Unexpected evidence from the results in ethylamine solutions

Ultrasonic absorption coefficients for ethylamine in heavy water (D2O) and in light water (H2O) have been measured in the frequency range from 0.8 to 220 MHz at 25 degrees C. A single relaxational process has been observed in these two kinds of solutions. From the concentration dependence of the ultrasonic relaxation parameters, and following the reaction mechanism proposed by Eigen et al. for ethylamine in H2O, the causes of the relaxations have been attributed to a perturbation of an equilibrium associated with a deuteron or proton transfer reaction. The rate and equilibrium constants have been estimated from deuterioxide or hydroxide ion concentration dependence of the relaxation frequency, and the kinetic isotope effects have been determined. In addition, the standard volume changes of the reactions have been calculated from the concentration dependence of the maximum absorption per wavelength, and the adiabatic compressibility has also been determined from the density and sound velocity for ethylamine in D2O and in H2O, respectively. These results are compared with those for propylamine and butylamine and are discussed in relation to the different kinetic properties between D2O and H2O, the reaction radii derived by Debye theory, and the structural properties of the reaction intermediate.

太行花属（Taihangia Yu et Li）种质资源的研究

本文报道了太行花属（Taihangia Yu et Li）的种群分布、生物学特性和离体培养的初步结果。 太行花种群由于环境和生物等方面的原因仅在太行山区有狭小分布。来源于不同地区种群的太行花其形态特征具有丰富的表型，在引种条件下更为显著。而酯酶同工酶和过氧化物酶同工酶分析进一步证实了其遗传的稳定性和同源性。 实验表明，太行花在北纬39°58'，最低温度-11℃的北京北京植物园，露地越冬正常。温度提高至40℃时生长发育受抑制而迟滞，以25℃最为适宜，增殖率最高。太行花对土壤的适应范围较广，在泥炭培养土上移殖的幼苗成活率达97.20%，主根须根发达，叶生长良好。不同强度光照处理12000Lux效果最好。 太行花生育期为230多天，生长积温为3763℃左右。物候期受环境条件和当年气候的影响，不同种群和个体之间有一定的差异。花的性别、花期和开花量等与纬度、海拔主要与温湿度相关。 太行花的茎尖、花芽、花梗、萼片、花瓣和叶子等外植体均能在MS附加不同种类和浓度植物激素的培养基中分化，其分化途径和分化效果因附加成分、外植体类别而异。在含有0.1mg/L IAA和0.5mg/L 6-BA的培养基中，不但能启动花芽正常生长、开花、形成合子胚，而且也能诱导花芽、花梗、茎尖产生花芽和营养芽。在芽的继代培养中，细胞分裂素能大量诱导芽的分化，最好的配比是0.5mg/L 6-BA、0.1mg/L ZJ;只含生长素时可以诱导生根或脱分化，其中生根最好的是0.5mg/L IAA;2.4-D单独使用时，能较好地使花芽、叶等脱分化，其最佳浓度为1.0mg/L。
