A solid-phase microextraction fiber coated with diglycidyloxycalix[4]arene yields very high extraction selectivity and sensitivity during the analysis of chlorobenzenes in soil

A novel fiber coated with novel sol-gel (5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,27-dihydroxy-26,28-diglycidyloxycalix[4]arene/hydroxy-terminated silicone oil; diglycidyloxy-C[4]/OH-TSO) was prepared for use with headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatography (GC) and electron capture detection (ECD), which was applied in order to determine nine chlorobenzenes in soil matrices. Due to the improved fiber preparation, which increases the percentage of calixarene in the coating, the new calixarene fiber exhibits very high extraction selectivity and sensitivity to chlorine-substituted compounds. Various parameters affecting the extraction efficiency were optimized in order to maximize the sensitivity during the chlorobenzene analysis. Interferences from different soil matrices with different characteristics were investigated, and the amount extracted was strongly influenced by the matrix. Therefore, a standard addition protocol was performed on the real soil samples. The linear ranges of detection for the chlorobenzenes tested covered three orders of magnitude, and correlation coefficients > 0.9976 and relative standard deviations (RSD) < 8% were observed. The detection limits were found at sub-ng/g of soil levels, which were about an order of magnitude lower than those given by the commercial poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) coating for most of the compounds. The recoveries ranged from 64 to 109.6% for each analyte in the real kaleyard soil matrix when different concentration levels were determined over the linear range, which confirmed the reliability and feasibility of the HS-SPME/GC-ECD approach using the fiber coated with diglycidyloxy-C[4]/OH-TSO for the ultratrace analysis of chlorobenzenes in complex matrices.

Determination of phthalate acid esters plasticizers in plastic by ultrasonic solvent extraction combined with solid-phase microextraction using calix[4]arene fiber

Ultrasonic solvent extraction combined with solid-phase microextraction (SPME) with calix[4]arene/hydroxy-terminated silicone (C[4]/OHTSO) oil coated fiber was used to extract phthalate acid esters (PAEs) plasticizers in plastic, such as blood bags, transfusion tubing, food packaging bag, and mineral water bottle for analysis by gas chromatography (GC). Both extraction parameters (i.e. extraction time, extraction temperature, ionic strength) and conditions of the thermal desorption in a GC injector were optimized by analysis of eight phthalates. The fiber shows wonderful sensitivity and selectivity to the tested compounds. Owing to its high thermal stability (380 degreesC), the carryover effect that often encountered when using conventional fibers can be reduced by appropriately enhancing the injector temperature. The method showed linear response over two to four orders of magnitude with correlation coefficients (r) better than 0.996, and limits of detection (LOD) ranged between 0.006 and 0.084 mug l(-1). The relative standard deviation values obtained were less than or equal to 10%. bis-2-Ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) was the sole analyte detected in these plastics and recoveries were in the ranges 95.5-101.4% in all the samples.

PH-Dependent syntheses and structures of two Copper(II)/Phenanthroline/p-Sulfonatocalix[4]arene supramolecular compounds with 1D water-filled channels

Two copper-organic framework supramolecular assemblies of p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene and 1,10-phenanthroline Cu-2[C12H8N2][C28H20S4O16][H2O](23.5) (1) and Cu-3[C12H8N2](3)[C28H19S4O16]Cl[H2O](17.6) (2) were obtained by pH-dependent synthesis at room temperature. Both structures show ID water-filled channels (rectangular shape in I and triangular in 2) with the solvent-accessible volume occupying 30.8% (1) and 24.2% (2) of the unit-cell volume, respectively. The calixarene molecules in both structures assume analogous cone shapes of C-2 nu symmetry instead of the conventional C-4 nu symmetry. Their connecting to different amounts of copper/phenanthroline cations leads to the formation of different structures.

In situ electrochemical SERS studies on electrodeposition of aniline on 4-ATP/Au surface

The electrochemical polymerization of 0.01 M aniline in 1 M H2SO4 aqueous solution on roughened Au surface modified with a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP) has been investigated by in situ electrochemical surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy (SERS). The repeat units and possible structures of the electrodeposited polyaniline (PANI) film were proposed; i.e., aniline monomer is coupled in head-to-tail predominately at the C-4 of aniline and amine of 4-ATP, and the thin PANI film is orientated vertically to substrate surface. Simultaneous Raman spectra during potential scanning indicate clearly that the ultrathin PANI film (in initial growth of the film) consists of semiquinone radical cation (IP+), para-disubstituted benzene (IP and IP+) and quinine diimine (NP) while it is oxidized, and without quinine diimine and semiquinone radical cation while reduced. Meanwhile, the results confirm that 4-ATP monolayer shows a strong promotion on the electrodeposition of aniline monomer, and a possible polymerization mechanism was proposed.

The crystal structure and drawing-induced polymorphism in poly(aryl ether ketone)s .1. Poly(oxybiphenyl-4-4'-diyloxy-1,4-phenylenecarbonyl-1,3-phenylenecarbonyl-1,4-phenylene)

Crystal structure and polymorphism induced by uniaxial drawing of a poly(aryl ether ketone) [PEDEKmK] prepared from 1,3-bis(4-fluorobenzoyl)benzene and biphenyl-4,4'-diol have been investigated by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electron diffraction (ED), wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) techniques. The melting and recrystallization process in the temperature range of 250-260 degrees C, far below the next melting temperature (306 degrees C), was identified and found to be responsible for the remarkable changes in lamellar morphology. Based on WAXD and ED patterns, it was found that crystal structure of isotropic-crystalline PEDEKmK obtained under different crystallization conditions (melt-crystallization, cold-crystallization, solvent-induced crystallization, melting-recrystallization, and crystallization from solution) keeps the same mode of packing, i.e., a two-chain orthorhombic unit cell with the dimensions a = 0.784 nm, b = 0.600 nm, and c = 4.745 nm (form I). A second crystal modification (form II) can be induced by uniaxial drawing above the glass transition temperature, and always coexists with form I. This form also possesses an orthorhombic unit cell but with different dimensions, i.e., a = 0.470 nm, b = 1.054 nm, c = 5.064 nm. The 0.32 nm longer c-axis of form II as compared with form I is attributed to an overextended chain conformation due to the expansion of ether and ketone bridge bond angles during uniaxial drawing. The temperature dependence of WAXD patterns for the drawn PEDEKmK suggests that form II can be transformed into the more stable form I by relaxation of overextended chains and relief of internal stress at elevated temperature in absence of external tension.

冲绳海槽黑潮流域近4万年以来的古海洋环境演化

本文采用取自冲绳海槽的91个站位的表层样品和2个柱状岩芯，通过微体古生物有孔虫分析、氧碳同位素测试、AMS~(14)C测年、沉积物粒度和地球化学分析，探讨了现代生物群落、表层沉积物氧同位素与现代海洋环境之间的关系，进而对冲绳海槽区域近4万年来的古海洋环境和古黑潮演化进行了详细的研究。表层沉积物中的浮游有孔虫氧同位素与现代海洋环境之间的关系密切，浮游有孔虫从G.ruber到G.sacculifer到N.dutertrei其δ~(18)O值由轻变重，表明三种有孔虫其生活水层依次由浅到深。在横穿海槽的剖面上浮游有孔虫δ~(18)O在近陆端因受冲淡小影响较强而变轻，而在东侧站位，受黑潮暖流或其支流的影响氧同位素同样有变轻的趋势。N. dutertrei和G.ruber的氧同位素差值表明了冲绳海槽北部区域黑潮支流对表层水体的影响要大于次表层水体，而在冲绳海槽南部区域，黑潮暖流对次表层水体有相对较强的影响。冲绳海槽南部表层沉积物中的浮游有孔虫整体上属于赤道区组合，溶解作用对该区的浮游有孔虫群落有显的影响，冲绳海槽北部区浮游有孔虫组合对具有温带群落的特征。浮游有孔虫分布与海洋环境密切相关，南北区的浮游有孔虫分布都明显受暖流的影响，在暖流的主流轴处浮游有孔虫丰度通常较高。冲绳海槽具有相对较浅的碳酸盐溶跃面，浮游有孔虫丰度和底栖有孔虫深水胶结壳的含量都进一步表明了该区碳酸钙溶跃面大约在1700 m水深左右，比开放大洋明显要浅得多。表层沉积物中的底栖有孔虫主要受水深和水团等因素的制约。水深制约着有孔虫属种的分带，也影响底栖有孔虫的组合。根据Q型因子分析，冲绳海槽南部表层沉积物中的底栖有孔虫从陆架连缘到海槽底部可以划分为5个特定的组合，分别对应黑潮表层水和次层水影响环境、黑潮中层水影响环境、溶跃面以上的黑潮深层水影响环境、黑潮底层水团影响环境和溶解作用较强的槽底环境；北部区的底栖有孔虫群落反映了四个组合，分别代表了陆架混合水团影响环境、黑潮暖流中层水影响环境、冷涡沉积和上升流区影响环境以及对马暖流水团影响下的环境。以氧同位素曲线为基础，结合AMS~(14)C测年和生物地层学对柱状岩芯进行了地层划分和对比，E107孔记录了冰消期以来大约15,000 a来的古环境演化记录，具有较高的沉积速率，DOC－42孔保存在主要是末冰期中40－10ka BP期间的古环境沉积记录，沉积物记录的分辨率相对较低。浮游有孔虫有碎壳比和底栖有孔虫深海胶结壳含量表明了现代冲绳海槽的浅溶跃面是大约最近2000 a BP才开始突然变浅形成的，碳酸盐的溶解作用从冰消期到现在逐增强。冲绳海槽南部E107孔的底栖有孔虫组合把映了15,000 a来的底层水团具有两种完全不同的营养状况，约6500 a BP以前有机质通量较高，6500 a BP以后有机质通量则明显降低。DOC－42孔的底栖有孔虫组合反映该区约4万年以来的底部水团演化主要受有机质通量和氧含量的共同制约，氧同位素3期主要为高有机质通量的沉积环境，伴随有氧含量水平的较大波动；氧同位素2期有机质通量有所降低，氧含量整体为中等水平；氧同位素1期早期义部水体则较高氧含量为主。浮游有孔虫温跃层转换函数反映了冲绳海槽中部的温跃层在约13100 a BP有一个明显的变化，在这之前产温跃层深度较浅，平均89 m，而在该时间以后，温跃层平均深度变为166 m。此外在160 cm处和100 cm的温跃层深度的两次明显的降低，分别对应于新仙女木事件和黑潮暖流的重新入侵，表明这两个事件导致了海洋上层水体结构的突然变化。冲绳海槽北部浮游有孔虫转换函数古温度和浮游有孔虫的低温、低盐特征种反映了在氧同位素3期早期约40000a BP和氧同位素2期间存在两个明显的低温、低盐阶段，可能与沿岸水在该期间加强有关。其中氧同位素3期早期的表层海水古水温比末次冰期还要低，反映了区域海洋环境的重大变化。冲绳海槽南部E107孔的沉积物粒度、地球化学特征、黑潮特征指示种、表层古水温以及底层水团的性质在6500 a BP左右发生了重大的改变，与冲绳海槽南部的其他岩芯反映的古环境化基本一致，表明了南部海槽在6500 a BP前后古黑潮流径发生了重大变化。而冲绳海槽北部区域2万年以来的古环境则与南部有明显差异，总结前人对冲绳海槽古黑潮流径的研究，笔者对未次冰盛期古黑潮流径提出了新的推测。

Synthesis of 4-substituted-3(2H)-furanones with novel luminescence properties

The objective of this project was to prepare a range of 4-substituted 3-(2H)-furanones, and to investigate the relationship between their molecular structures and photoluminescence properties. The effects of substituents and conjugated linker unit were also investigated. After generation of the key 3(2H)-furanone heterocycle, extension of the conjugated framework at the C-4 position was achieved through Pd(0)-catalysed coupling reactions. Chapter one of the thesis comprises a review of the relavent literature and is split into three sections. These include information about the prevalence of 3-(2H)-furanones as natural products and synthetic routes to 3-(2H)-furanones in general. The synthetic routes are divided according to the synthetic precursor employed. The final section of chapter one outlines the fundamental principles and application of photoluminescence to organic compounds in general. Chapter two contains the results of the research achieved in the course of this work and a discussion of the findings. Two routes were successfully employed to generate 4-unsubstituted 3-(2H)-furanone moieties: (i) base induced cyclisation of hydroxyenones and (ii) isoxazole chemistry. A number of methods which proved ineffective in the production of furanones with the desired substitution pattern are also detailed. The majority of this study was focused on the introduction of substituents at the C-4 position of the 3-(2H)-furanone ring. This was achieved through the use of Sonogashira and Suzuki cross coupling protocols for Pd(0) catalysed C-C bond formation. The further functionalisation of some compounds was performed using transfer hydrogenation and “click chemistry” methodologies. Finally, the photophysical properties of 3-(2H)-furanones prepared in this project are discussed and the effect of substitution patterns in a complementary “push push” and “push pull” manner have also been investigated. All the experimental data and details of the synthetic methods employed, for the compounds prepared during the course of this research is contained in chapter three together with the spectroscopic and analytical properties of the compounds prepared.

Molecular dynamics simulation of observed c(4x4) and c(4x3) C60 alignments on the Si(100) reconstructed surface.

We have implemented a large-scale classical molecular dynamics simulation at constant temperature to provide a theoretical insight into the results of a recently performed experiment on the monolayer and multi-layer formations of molecular films on the Si(100) reconstructed dimerized surface. Our simulation has successfully reproduced all of the morphologies observed on the monolayer film by this experiment. We have obtained the formation of both c(4 4) and c(4 3) structures of the molecules and have also obtained phase transitions of the former into the latter.
