采用重稀土离子(Dy、Ho、Er、Tm、Yb)研究了水溶液中L-精氨酸的构象。结果表明,距稀土配位中心4个或4个键以上的配体核的接触位移都很小,在稀土离子附近的配体核具有显著的接触位移。通过对配体磁性核结构因子的实验值进行模拟,建立了水溶液中L-精氨酸的整体构象。在L-精氨酸稀土配合物中,配体的羧基与稀土离子配位,配体的骨架结构位于稀土离子的零偶极位移锥面的外侧。对于羧基的双齿配位模式,计算得到的RE~(3+)-O键长为0.21nm。在溶液中配体以伸展状态存在,分子骨架呈全反式构象。

异戊二烯稀土催化聚合过程中配合物结构及其转化的~(13)C-NMR研究

本文用~(13)C-NMR研究了异戊二烯(IP)在均相催化剂(CF_3CO_2)_2LnCl·EtOH—(i-Bu)AlH—o-C_6D_4Cl_2作用下的聚合过程。单体首先被活化同稀土配位生成η~4-IP稀土配合物(反式和顺式),然后η~4-IP的C-3和C-4插入Ln-H键生成η~3-烯丙基稀土配合物——η~3-(2-甲基)丁烯基稀土配合物(同式和对式)。二维~(13)C-NMR交换谱表明η~4-IP和0η~3-烯丙基的每对异构体在常温下分别进行慢交换反应(互变异构),这一过程使插入反应在常温下得以进行。

~(13)C-NMR化学位移与聚合物的构象——Ⅱ.1,2-聚丁二烯仲碳(—CH_2—)的~(13)C-NMR谱研究

在1,2-聚丁二烯链分子中,导致仲碳(—CH_2—)谱峰分裂的原因是存在着两种gauche排列。在这样一个复杂体系中,由于主链仲碳与叔碳的gauche排列占有重要的位置,因此主链叔碳对化学位移的贡献对于仲碳谱有着决定性的影响。相比之下,乙烯基的贡献要小得多。两种贡献分别是γ_1=—6.37——6.41ppm与γ_2=0.0——1.56ppm。在不计入侧基的影响或同时考虑乙烯基的贡献这两种情况下,均方误差MSE分别是0.166×10~(-2)和0.364×10~(-2)ppm~2。本文同时讨论了模型链的种类、链长以及温度对键概率的影响。并指出有个别反常的情况发生。文中还对间同1,2-聚丁二烯的链结构进行了分析。

Compartmentalized Cerebral Metabolism of [1,6-(13)C]Glucose Determined by in vivo (13)C NMR Spectroscopy at 14.1 T.

Cerebral metabolism is compartmentalized between neurons and glia. Although glial glycolysis is thought to largely sustain the energetic requirements of neurotransmission while oxidative metabolism takes place mainly in neurons, this hypothesis is matter of debate. The compartmentalization of cerebral metabolic fluxes can be determined by (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy upon infusion of (13)C-enriched compounds, especially glucose. Rats under light α-chloralose anesthesia were infused with [1,6-(13)C]glucose and (13)C enrichment in the brain metabolites was measured by (13)C NMR spectroscopy with high sensitivity and spectral resolution at 14.1 T. This allowed determining (13)C enrichment curves of amino acid carbons with high reproducibility and to reliably estimate cerebral metabolic fluxes (mean error of 8%). We further found that TCA cycle intermediates are not required for flux determination in mathematical models of brain metabolism. Neuronal tricarboxylic acid cycle rate (V(TCA)) and neurotransmission rate (V(NT)) were 0.45 ± 0.01 and 0.11 ± 0.01 μmol/g/min, respectively. Glial V(TCA) was found to be 38 ± 3% of total cerebral oxidative metabolism, accounting for more than half of neuronal oxidative metabolism. Furthermore, glial anaplerotic pyruvate carboxylation rate (V(PC)) was 0.069 ± 0.004 μmol/g/min, i.e., 25 ± 1% of the glial TCA cycle rate. These results support a role of glial cells as active partners of neurons during synaptic transmission beyond glycolytic metabolism.

Characterization of organic matter in sediment cores of the Todos os Santos Bay, Bahia, Brazil, by elemental analysis and (13)C NMR

The impact of human activity on the sediments of Todos os Santos Bay in Brazil was evaluated by elemental analysis and (13)C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance ((13)C NMR). This article reports a study of six sediment cores collected at different depths and regions of Todos os Santos Bay. The elemental profiles of cores collected on the eastern side of Frades Island suggest an abrupt change in the sedimentation regime. Auto-regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) analysis corroborates this result. The range of depths of the cores corresponds to about 50 years ago, coinciding with the implantation of major onshore industrial projects in the region. Principal Component Analysis of the (13)C NMR spectra clearly differentiates sediment samples closer to the Subae estuary, which have high contents of terrestrial organic matter, from those closer to a local oil refinery. The results presented in this article illustrate several important aspects of environmental impact of human activity on this bay. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Fast Acquisition of (13)C NMR Spectra using the Steady-state Free Precession Sequence

In this paper, we show that the steady-state free precession sequence can be used to acquire (13)C high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectra and applied to qualitative analysis. The analysis of brucine sample using this sequence with 60 degrees flip angle and time interval between pulses equal to 300 ms (acquisition time, 299.7 ms; recycle delay, 300 ms) resulted in spectrum with twofold enhancement in signal-to-noise ratio, when compared to standard (13)C sequence. This gain was better when a much shorter time interval between pulses (100 ms) was applied. The result obtained was more than fivefold enhancement in signal-to-noise ratio, equivalent to more than 20-fold reduction in total data recording time. However, this short time interval between pulses produces a spectrum with severe phase and truncation anomalies. We demonstrated that these anomalies can be minimized by applying an appropriate apodization function and plotting the spectrum in the magnitude mode.
