SYNTHESES OF METHYLCYCLOPENTADIENYL DERIVATIVES OF LANTHANIDES (LN = LA-ND) AND CRYSTAL-STRUCTURES OF [(THF)2LI(MU-CL)2]2[MECPND(THF)] AND [LI(DME)3][MECPLA(NPH2)3]

The reaction of LnCl3.2LiCl with 1 equiv of MeCpNa in THF gives the complexes [(THF)2Li(mu-Cl)2]2[MeCpLn(THF)] (Ln = Nd (1), La (2)) in good yield. These precursors react further with 2 equiv of LiNPh2 to produce the new complexes [Li(DME)3][MeCpLn(NPh2)3] (Ln = La (3), Pr (4), Nd (5)). They have been characterized by elemental analyses and IR and NMR spectra, as well as by structural analyses of 1 and 3. The chloride 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n (No. 14) with a = 12.130 (5) angstrom, b = 17.343 (5) angstrom, c = 17.016 (5) angstrom, beta = 108.54 (3)-degrees, V = 3393.87 angstrom3, Z = 4, and D(c) = 1.45 g/cm3. Least-squares refinement led to a final R value of 0.051 (I greater-than-or-equal-to 3-sigma(I(o))) for 2004 independent reflections. Complex 3 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c (No. 14) with a = 18.335 (6) angstrom, b = 16.576 (5) angstrom, c = 17.461 (6) angstrom, beta = 96.04 (3)-degrees, V = 5277.17 angstrom3, D(c) = 1.26 g/cm3, Z = 4, and R = 0.057 (I greater-than-or-equal-to 2.5-sigma(I(o))) for 3378 reflections. The structure of 3 consists of discrete ion pairs [Li(DME)3]+ and [MeCpLa(NPh2)3]- with average La-N and La-C(ring) distances of 2.459 (8) and 2.84 (1) angstrom, respectively.

A STUDY ABOUT PH CHEMICALLY MODIFIED ELECTRODES BASED ON AMINO-DERIVATIVES OF NAPHTHALENE

The electrochemical polymerization of amino-derivatives of naphthalene has been studied on the platinum wire electrodes. The effects of acidity of the modifying media and the potential scan rate on the cyclic voltammograms are verified. As potentiometric pH sensors, the electrodes prepared from 1-naphthylamine and 2,3-diaminonaphthalene showed performance characteristics superior to some other electrodes tested. The electrode modified with 1-naphthylamine in the optimum medium showed a nearly Nernstian response of 4.20-13.70 pH and a slope of -54.8 mV/pH, while the linear range of the electrode prepared by 2,3-diaminonaphthalene was 4.00-13.60 pH, with a slope of -52.4 mV/pH.

A STUDY ON 2E SPECTRA OF BIPHENYL DERIVATIVES

A study of doubly charged ion mass spectra (2E spectra), the substituents effect and the target gas pressure deppendence of biphenyl derivitives was presented in this work. The decomposition of doubly charged ion formed in the ion source is dominant by the losses of H, C2H2, C2H4 and HR(R represents substituent). [C12H8]2+, [C12H6]2+ and [C10H6]2+ among others are the most stable product ions. The substituents effect is Various in different decomposition reactions, and in some cases it can not be predicted by Hammett equition. While the TIC of 2E spectra was markedly influenced by the target gas pressure, but the fragmentation pattern of the 2E spectra is independent of it.

On comparison between the spectra, it is proposed that the macrocycle of the molecule on the Ag substrate is oriented parallel to the surface.

ELECTROCHEMICAL STUDY OF CHOLINE DERIVATIVES TRANSFER ACROSS THE LIQUID LIQUID INTERFACE

Transfer behaviors across the water/nitrobenzene interface were studied for five choline derivatives by chronopotentiometry with linear current scanning, cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. The irreversible hydrolysis reactions coupled to the phase transfer of ions across the water/nitrobenzene interface were observed. The Gibbs energies of the transfer of choline derivatives show the effects of an additive constitution on hydrophobic property of the medicine.

In addition, three known compounds including asperflavin (2), 2-O-methyleurotinone (5), and questin (7) were also isolated and identified. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis. All of the isolated compounds were evaluated for 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity.

Foreign gene transfer into Chinese shrimps (Penaeus chinensis) with gene gun

Plasmids pG DNA-RZ1 with a GFP (green fluorescent protein) reporter gene and a ribozyme gene incising penaeid white spot baculovirus (WSBV) were first introduced into the fertilized eggs of Chinese shrimps by gene gun. The treated and control samples of different development stages were observed with a fluorescent microscope. The transient expression of GFP gene was high in nauplius and zoea larvae. Results from RT-PCR and PCR for adults showed that the foreign genes had been transferred into the shrimps and had expressed the corresponding proteins. This work has established a transgenic method for penaeid shrimps, which will set base for the application of genetic engineering breeding into industry.
