Since the analytes, EDTA and DTPA, do not contain chromophores, transition metal ions （Cu2＋, Fe3＋） which generate highly stable metallocom- plexes with the chelating agents were added into the sample preparation to enhance UV detection. The use of metallocomplexes with ion-pairing chromatography provides the ability to achieve the desired sensitivity and selectivity in the development of the method. Specifically, the sample preparation in- volving metallocomplex formation allowed sensitive UV detection. Copper was utilized for the de- termination of EDTA and iron was utilized for the determination of DTPA. In the case of EDTA, a gradient mobile phase separated the components of the formulation from the analyte. In the method for DTPA, the active drug substance, ipilimumab, was eluted in the void. In addition, the optimization of the concentration of the ion-pairing reagent was discussed as a means of enhancing the retention of the aminopolycarboxylic acids （APCAs） including EDTA and DTPA and the specificity of the method. The analytical method development was designed based on the chromatographic properties of the analytes, the nature of the sample matrix and the intended purpose of the method. Validation data were presented for the two methods. Finally, both methods were successfully utilized in determining the fate of the chelates.展开更多

Extensive theoretical and experimental work on amino acids behaviour in hydrothermal fluids has been done, conversely only few data exist on natural samples. Because each hydrothermal vent is unique, the more data we collect the better we will be able to address each of these questions. Usually amino acids in hydrothermal fluids have been measured by HPLC-FLD. The chromatographic separation was at least 26 min and up to 135 min and the required derivatization step may be time consuming, may use harmful chemicals and may be source of contamination. Alternatively, we describe here a method combining quickness (4.5 min), high resolution (10,000), very low LOD (sub-ppb) and without derivatization. Characterisation and separation of 10 relevant proteinogenic underivatized amino acids was achieved by ion-pairing reversed-phase Ultra-high Performance Liquid Chromatography-Electrospray Ionisation-Quadrupole Time of Flight-Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS). Excellent linearity in the response was obtained for all amino acids with correlation coefficients > 0.9921. This method was successfully applied to natural hydrothermal fluid samples from ultramafic-hosted vents of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge region. Results are consistent with the only 2 other studies published on ultramafic-hosted vents and complete the few available data.展开更多

The ion-pair anion efficiency spectra of 35Cl- and 37Cl- are recorded in the photon energy range of 7.75-22.00 eV.

In contrast to the experimental studies of photoexcitation ion-pair dissociation, there are some experimental challenges in the electron-impact ion-pair dissociation study, in particular, on determination of the energetic threshold. Here we report an experimental development for the ion-pair dissociation study by using the monochromized electron impacts. As an example, the threshold of BrCN→Br^-+CN^+ is determined as 13.78 eV according to the appearance energy of CN^+ signals, meanwhile, the time-sliced ion velocity image of CN^+ is recorded at 16.09 eV and indicates an anisotropic distribution of the CN^+ momentum.展开更多

The collision complex in ion-pair formation process was found and optimized. These results show that the crossed molecule beam (CMB) experimental phenomenon is verified and the detailed geometry is given for the first time. A mechanism for ion-pair formation was proposed in detail. The position where the collision complex occurs affects the reaction path. Specifically, the process has threshold when the collision complex appeared before the crossing point between the covalent and ionic state potential energy surfaces. On the contrary, the process has no threshold after the crossing point. Theoretically, the title system belongs to the former case.展开更多

After addition of TMP as IS, the samples were deproteinized with 6% PCA. The analytes were separated on a Kromasil C18 column using a tertiary gradient mobile phase composed of buffer A (0.2% KH2PO4 + 0.08% tetrabutyl ammonium hydrogen sulphate, pH 3.0), buffer B (buffer A adjusted to pH 7.5 with 1 mol/L NaOH) and MeOH.

文摘Ion-pair dissociation is an important molecular process and frequently happens when the target molecule is pumped to its electronically superexcited states. In contrast to the experimental studies of photoexcitation ion-pair dissociation, there are some experimental challenges in the electron-impact ion-pair dissociation study, in particular, on determination of the energetic threshold. Here we report an experimental development for the ion-pair dissociation study by using the monochromized electron impacts. As an example, the threshold of BrCN→Br^-+CN^+ is determined as 13.78 eV according to the appearance energy of CN^+ signals, meanwhile, the time-sliced ion velocity image of CN^+ is recorded at 16.09 eV and indicates an anisotropic distribution of the CN^+ momentum.

文摘Lithium(Li)is an important energy metal in the 21st century.However,the selective recovery of Li is still a big challenge,especially from acidic solutions with multiple metal ions existence.Herein we report a new ion pair induced mechanism for selectively extracting Li^(+)from acidic chloride solutions by tributyl phosphate(TBP).It is shown that the acidity and the chloride ions in the aqueous phase have great effects on the extraction of Li^(+).The FT-IR,UV-Vis and ESI-MS experiments provide solid evidence for the formation of ion-pair complex[Li(TBP)_n(H_(2)O)_(m)]^(+)[FeCl_(4)]^(-)(n-1,2,3;m-0,1)in the organic phase,which brings about the effective and efficient extraction of Li^(+).This mechanism can overcome the Hofmeister bias and allow for the selective extraction of Li^(+) from the extremely hydrophilic chlorides.It has also been proved that the loaded Li in TBP can be effectively stripped by concentrated HCl solution with a Li/Fe separation factor>500.The understanding of the ion-pair transport mechanism is helpful for optimizing the recovery process or further advancing more efficient recovery techniques for Li from acidic liquor.

文摘For the Li + I2 →Li+ + I2- system, theoretical study has been performed on the QCISD(T) level by using the ab initio method. The collision complex in ion-pair formation process was found and optimized. These results show that the crossed molecule beam (CMB) experimental phenomenon is verified and the detailed geometry is given for the first time. A mechanism for ion-pair formation was proposed in detail. The position where the collision complex occurs affects the reaction path. Specifically, the process has threshold when the collision complex appeared before the crossing point between the covalent and ionic state potential energy surfaces. On the contrary, the process has no threshold after the crossing point. Theoretically, the title system belongs to the former case.

文摘A specific, precise and accurate ion-pair HPLC-UV method has been developed and validated for simultaneous determination of phosphocreatine (PCr), and its metabolite creatine (Cr) as well as related ATP in plasma and red blood cell (RBC) of rabbits. After addition of TMP as IS, the samples were deproteinized with 6% PCA. The analytes were separated on a Kromasil C18 column using a tertiary gradient mobile phase composed of buffer A (0.2% KH2PO4 + 0.08% tetrabutyl ammonium hydrogen sulphate, pH 3.0), buffer B (buffer A adjusted to pH 7.5 with 1 mol/L NaOH) and MeOH. Detection wavelengths were set at 210 nm for PCr and Cr and 260 nm for ATP and TMP. Some blank samples were initially run for baseline subtraction. The linear detection responses were obtained for PCr concentration over a range of 10 - 7500 mg/ml (plasma) and 5 - 2500 mg/ml (RBC) and for both Cr and ATP concentrations of 10 - 1500 mg/ml (plasma) and 5 - 750 mg/ml (RBC) (r > 0.99). The QC samples of 3 analytes showed intra-day and inter-day precisions (RSD) of - 107%. The method was successfully used to simultaneously determine plasma and RBC concentrations of the 3 analytes and to study pharmacokinetics after iv administration of PCr to rabbits.
