Influence of intraperitoneal injection of rare earth compounds on the activities of antioxidant enzymes and the level of lipid peroxidation in mice livers

Following intraperitoneal injection of lanthanum and terbium chloride and their complexes of diethyltriaminopentagacetic acid (DTPA) to adult mice with a dose of 0.28 mmol/kg body weight/day for three days. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and the content of lipid end product, malonaldehyde (MDA) in the mice livers have been assayed respectively. The results show that the activity of SOD was increased and the content of MDA was reduced for LaCl3 treated mice and the two targets were not changed for TbCl3, but the activity of GSH-Px was reduced markedly for both LaCl3 and TbCl3 while the above three targets were not changed for La-DTPA and Tb-DTPA complexes.

Preparation, structure and some physical properties of scheelite-related AgLnMo(2)O(8) compounds

We present the synthesis of the AgLnMo(2)O(8) oxides with Ln = La-Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb and Y. These compounds represent a scheelite-related structure type characterized by MoO42- tetrahedrons. The IR spectra show three transmittance bands in the region of 1000-400 cm(-1), which correspond respectively to the nu(1), nu(2), and nu(3) modes of the tetrahedral MoO42- groups. All of AgLnMo(2)O(8) are insulator materials at room temperature. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibilities of AgLnMo(2)O(8) (Ln = Ce-Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb) show Curie-Weiss Law behaviors with two anomalies occurring at low temperature, whereas AgLaMo2O8 and AgYMo2O8 both exhibit diamagnetic properties as expected. The magnetic moments at room temperature fit very well with those corresponding to rare earth sesquioxides. This suggests that rare earth ions exist in +3 oxidation state in all AgLnMo(2)O(8) compounds.

Structure and luminescent properties of three new silver lanthanide molybdates

Three new compounds AgLnMo(2)O(8) (Ln = Eu, Gd, Tb) crystallize with a tetragonal scheelite-type structure characterized by MoO4 tetrahedra. The IR spectra show three absorption bands, which correspond respectively to the nu(1), nu(2), and nu(3) modes of the tetrahedral-MoO42- groups. The emission of AgGdMo2O8 shows the band of the MoO42- groups around 600 nm wavelength with very weak intensity. Both AgEuMo2O8 and AgTbMo2O8 emit intensely, and the concentration quenchings of both Eu3+ and Tb3+ luminescences are very weak. For all compounds, Ag+ luminescence is not observed.

Copolymerization of styrene with butadiene and isoprene using a rare earth catalyst

In the copolymerization of styrene-butadiene and styrene-isoprene, a novel rare earth catalyst system (CF3CO2)(3)Ln/R(3-n)AlH(n)/(CH3)(3)CCH2Br (Ln = Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb and Lu; R = Me-, Et-, i-Bu-, and Oct-; n = 0 and 1) has been studied. The 1, 4 unit contents in the copolymers obtained are found to range from 64.4 to 99.6% with St contents of 5.2 to 59.9%, and intrinsic viscosities of 0.1 to 0.5 dl g(-1) measured by i.r., H-1 n.m.r. and C-13 n.m.r. spectra. From the calculated data of linked ratios, a change in the microstructure is induced by the styrene unit, probably adjacent to the butadiene or isoprene unit. An interesting result is that the ratios of styrene unit linked with 1, 2 or 3,4 units in the copolymers are far higher than in copolymers obtained with the nickel catalyst. The experimental results are discussed in terms of rare earth pi-allyl coordination and back-biting mechanism.

SrB_6O_(10)中铕和铽的发光

大部分稀土离子都有变价行为,稀土的功能特性与其价态密切相关。铕和铽都有变价行为,Eu~(3+)和Tb~(3+)为电子组态共轭的一对稀土离子,是发光材料的重要激活离子。本文首次在空气中合成了SrB_6O_(10):xEu,yTb荧光粉,研究了它们的光谱特征,发现该体系中Eu~(3+),Tb~(3+)和Eu~(2+)离子共存,并随其掺入Tb~(3+)离子浓度的增加,Eu~(2+)的荧光相对发射强度增强。我们用已提出的关于稀土离子对之间电子组态共轭性与价态变化相关性的结论对此现象进行了解释。这一现象的发现有助于了解固相反应中共轭稀土离子对间的电子转移过程,为新型异常价态稀土化合物的预测与合成,为新材料的设计与制备提供了重要依据。

A new thermoplastic polyimide composite based on 1,4-(3,4-dicarboxyphenoxyl)benzene/4,4'-methylene dianiline

New thermoplastic polyimide (PEI) composites based on 1,4-(3,4-discarboxyphenoxyl)benzene/4,4'- methylene dianiline have been fabricated by the approach of polymerization by the approach of polymerization of monomer reactants (PMR). The chemical and physical behavior of the resin during processing are determined by infrared spectroscopy and rheology. The influence of processing conditions on the composite properties is investigated. The processing, physical and mechanical properties of the composites reinforced with different fibers are presented.

OBSERVATION OF EU2+ AND TB4+ IN SRMG4-EU8+, TB8+

Europium(II) and terbium(LV) drive boon observed in SrMgF4: Eu3+, Tb5+ phosphors which are synthesized in Ar stream. The valence state of europium is influenced by terbium. It is notable that the intensities of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) peaks corresponding to Eu2+ are increased when Tb3+ ion is incorporated in SrMgF4:Eu3+ phosphors, while X-ray photoelectron spectra of Tb-8d5/2 in SrMgF4:Eu3+,Tb3+ shows an additional peak at high energy to that of Tb-3d5/2 in SrMgF4: Tb3+, which is due to Tb4+. These phenomena can be explained by an electron transfer mechanism.

ELECTROCHEMICAL-BEHAVIOR OF BIS(2 /17-ARSENOTUNGSTATE) LANTHANATES AND THEIR ELECTROCATALYTIC REDUCTION FOR NITRITE

A series of new catalysts, K-14[Ln(As2W17O61)(2)]. xH(2)O (Ln = La, Pr, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Tm and Yb) which can electrocatalyze reduction of nitrite are presented and their electrochemical behavior is described in this paper. Bis(2:17-arsenotungstate) lanthanates which are monovacant Dawson derivatives, exhibit two 2-electron and one 1-electron waves, attributed to electron addition and removal from the tungsten-oxide framework that comprises each anion structure. The formal potentials of redox couples are dependent on solution pH. Double-hump principle of formal potentials takes effect with increasing atomic number of lanthanide elements following their special electronic shell structure. The third waves of all the heteropolyanions have good electrocatalytic activities for nitrite reduction at pH 5.0.

ELECTROCATALYTIC OXIDATION OF REDUCED NICOTINAMIDE COENZYMES AT ORGANIC DYE-MODIFIED ELECTRODES

Chemically modified electrodes (CMEs) were prepared by adsorbing different dyes, including methylene blue (MB), toluidine blue (TB) and brilliant cresyl blue (BCB), onto glassy carbon electrodes (GCE) with anodic pretreatment. The electrochemical reactions of adsorbed dyes are fairly reversible at low coverages. The CMEs are more stable in acid solutions than in alkaline ones, which is mainly due to decomposition of the dyes in the latter media. They exhibit an excellent catalytic ability for the oxidation of nicotinamide coenzymes (NADH and NADPH). The formation of a charge transfer complex between the coenzyme and the adsorbed mediator has been demonstrated using a rotating disk electrode. The charge transfer complex decomposition is a slow step in the overall electrode reaction process. Some kinetic parameters are estimated. Dependence of the electrocatalytic activity of the CMEs on the solution pH is discussed.

SOLVENT-EXTRACTION OF TERBIUM(III,IV) PERIODATE COMPLEXES WITH QUATERNARY AMINE

The differences between the solvent extraction of Tb(III) and Tb(IV) periodate complexes with quaternary amine were studied carefully for the first time. The effects of extractant concentration, phase ratio, the pH value of stock solution, salting-out agent, extractant form, diluent, and extraction time were comprehensively investigated. Under optimal conditions the separation factor between Tb(IV) and Tb(III) periodate complexes is over 5.5.

Fluorescence spectroscopy studies on the action of rare earths with bovine serum albumin in multimolecular system

In this paper. the interaction of tripositive terbium ions (Tb3+) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been investigated in the presence of some alkaline earth metals and citric acid (Cit) by using fluorescence spectroscopy. The results show that Tb-31. BSA and Cit can form ternary complex BSA . Tb-2. Cit(4) in mu =0.1 mol/l NaCl. pH6.3 hexamethylenetetramine buffer. Other tare earths are able to compete for the same binding site in BSA with Tb3+-. The sequence of con,petition is Eu3+>Pr3+>Yb3+>Gd3+>La3+>Ca2+ and Mg2+ cannot replace Tb bound to BSA.

THE FRACTURE-BEHAVIOR OF PHENOLPHTHALEIN POLYETHER ETHER KETONE AT ELEVATED-TEMPERATURE FOR LONG TERMS

The fracture behavior of phenolphthalein polyether-ether ketone (PEK-C) affected by physical aging at 200 degrees C was studied by tensile experiments, scanning electron microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry observations. The ductile-brittle fracture transition (DBT) caused by physical aging can be considered as a competition between fracture mechanisms of crazing and shear yielding. The aging time required for the DBT is found to be around 400 h, based on the morphological studies and tensile experiments. The shear yielding component of the mechanical deformation could erase the aging effect, thus a deaging phenomenon occurs. We found that the deaging phenomenon has an intrinsic relationship with the extent of aging in the specimen and as a result of the fracture behavior. (C) 1995 John Wiley and Sons, Inc.

稀土离子与牛血Cu(Zn)-SOD的作用

采用ESR、CD谱和荧光光谱研究了pH=6.3时六次甲基四胺-HCl缓冲溶液中LaCl_3和TbCl_3与Cu(Zn)-SOD的配位作用和结构。Cu(Zn)-SOD可增强Tb~(3+)的荧光发射,Tb~(3+)与Cu(Zn)-SOD有多个配位位置,其中有2个强结合位点,La~(3+)与Tb~(3+)可竞争Cu(Zn)…SOD上相同结合位点,77K下La~(3+)与Tb~(3+)使Cu(Zn)-SOD的Cu~(2+)活性中心的配位环境由菱形对称结构向轴对称结构转变,使Cu(Zn)-SOD的局部结构变松散,但对SOD酶活性基本无影响,表明稀土离子主要与酶蛋白分子中的酸性氨基酸羧基配位,对酶蛋白二级结构仅产生微弱扰动,对活性中心空间结构影响较小,基本不影响Cu(Zn)-SOD酶活性。
