The liquid crystalline and luminescent properties of the ChTPV have been studied by differential scanning calorimetry （DSC）, polarized optical microscopy （POM）, absorption and photoluminescence spectra.

In contrast with the spectra of the solution, that of the film showed blue-shift in maximal absorption and red-shift in maximal emission due to H-type aggregation with parallel alignment of the TPV transition dipole moment.展开更多

The apparent viscosity of 18-4（ OH）-18-4（ OH）-18 solution affected by inorganic salt, hydrotropic salt and their mixtures is investigated using steady state measurements. Meanwhile, the temperature and shear resistances of systems of 18-4（ OH）-18-4（ OH）-18 and several common single-chain surfactants are compared. The rheological experiments show that, the coexistence of NaSal and NaC1 makes it easier for the system to promote micellar growth yielding wormlike micelles than single NaSal or NaC1. The apparent vis- cosity of 18-4（OH） -18-4（OH） -18 solution maintains over 87. 5 mPa-s above 100 22. The results indi- cate that there exists a synergistic effect in solutions of 18-4 （ OH ） -18-4 （ OH ） -18 trimeric surfactant展开更多

The absorption spectra of these compounds were also investigated by time-dependent density functional theory （TD-DFT） with 6-3 IG＊ basis set. The calculated results indicated that the HOMO and LUMO of the 2,7- and 3,6-1inked carbazole trimers are both slightly destabilized on going from methyl substitution to sec-butyl substitution. Both IP and EA exhibit their good hole-transporting but poor electronaccepting ability. The presence of alkyl groups on the nitrogen atoms does not affect the intra-chain electronic delocalization along the molecular frame. Thus no significant effect on the band gap and absorption spectra of compounds has been found.展开更多

In order to reach this aim vdw clusters where pure isotropic dispersion interaction occur, namely, Ar dimer and trime were investigated. Computations using different basis sets and at different levels of theory have been carried out. Three basis sets, namely, the 6-31++G**, the 6-311++G** and the aug-cc-pvdz basis set, were found superior to all other basis sets used. The high performance and relative small CPU time of the 6-31++G** basis set make it a good candidate for use with large vdw clusters, especially those of interest in biology. Three compound methods were applied in the present work, namely G1, G2 and G2 Moller-Plesset (MP2) and the complete basis set method, CBS-Q. These methods failed to detect the attraction dispersion interaction in the dimer. The predicted repulsive interaction seems dominant in all these methods. Some of the recently developed Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods that were parameterized to account for the dispersion interaction were also evaluated in the present work. Results come to the conclusion that, in contrast to the claims made, state-of-the-art Density Functional Theory methods are incapable of accounting for dispersion effects in a quantitative way, although these methods predict correctly the inter-atomic separations and are?thus considered a real improvement over the conventional methods. BS-SE has been computed, analyzed and discussed.展开更多

The absorption spectra of these compounds were also investigated by time-dependent density functional theory （TD-DFT） with 6-3 IG＊ basis set. The calculated results indicated that the HOMO and LUMO of the 2,7- and 3,6-1inked carbazole trimers are both slightly destabilized on going from methyl substitution to sec-butyl substitution. Both IP and EA exhibit their good hole-transporting but poor electronaccepting ability. The presence of alkyl groups on the nitrogen atoms does not affect the intra-chain electronic delocalization along the molecular frame. Thus no significant effect on the band gap and absorption spectra of compounds has been found.

文摘Benefiting from the induced image charge on film surface,the nanoparticle aggregating on metal exhibits interesting optical properties.In this work,a linear metal nanoparticle trimer on metal film system has been investigated to explore the novel optical phenomenon.Both the electric field and surface charge distributions demonstrate the light is focused on film greatly by the nanoparticles at two sides,which could be strongly modulated by the wavelength of incident light.And the influence of nanoparticle in middle on this light focusing ability has also been studied here,which is explained by the plasmon hybridization theory.Our finding about light focusing in nanoparticle aggregating on metal film not only enlarges the novel phenomenon of surface plasmon but also has great application prospect in the field of surface-enhanced spectra,surface catalysis,solar cells,water splitting,etc.
文摘Swerilactones H–K(1–4)as four unprecedented secoiridoid trimers represent a new type of natural product,which has attracted much interest of natural chemists due to their novel skeletons and promising bioactivity.In order to well understand their MS fragmentation behaviors,they were investigated by electrospray ionization ion-trap time-of-flight multistage product ion mass spectrometry(ESI-IT-TOF-MSn)for the first time.The protonated molecules([M?H]?)of swerilactones J and K,and deprotonated molecules([M-H]-)of swerilactones H,J and K were readily observed in the conventional single-stage mass spectra(MS);however only the[M?Cl]-ion for swerilactone I was obtained in negative mode.Based on the MSn study,the fragmentation pathways of swerilactones H and I in negative mode,and swerilactones J and K in both positive and negative modes were proposed.The neutral losses of H_(2)O,CO,CO_(2)and C_(2)H_(4)O moieties are the particular elimination from the precursor ions due to the presence of hydroxyl,d-lactone and 1-O-ethyl moieties in their structures,of which the retro-Diels–Alder cleavage was the most particular dissociation.The fragment ions at m/z 341 and 291 in negative mode can be considered as the diagnostic ions for secoiridoid trimers.This investigation will provide valuable information for their fast characterization from complicated natural mixtures and extensive understanding their structural architectures.
文摘The ultimate aim of the present work is to establish an acceptable level of computation for the van der waals (vdw) complexes that is able to pick up appreciable amount of dispersion interaction energy, reproduce the equilibrium separation within the acceptable limits and at the same time cost and time effective. In order to reach this aim vdw clusters where pure isotropic dispersion interaction occur, namely, Ar dimer and trime were investigated. Computations using different basis sets and at different levels of theory have been carried out. Three basis sets, namely, the 6-31++G**, the 6-311++G** and the aug-cc-pvdz basis set, were found superior to all other basis sets used. The high performance and relative small CPU time of the 6-31++G** basis set make it a good candidate for use with large vdw clusters, especially those of interest in biology. Three compound methods were applied in the present work, namely G1, G2 and G2 Moller-Plesset (MP2) and the complete basis set method, CBS-Q. These methods failed to detect the attraction dispersion interaction in the dimer. The predicted repulsive interaction seems dominant in all these methods. Some of the recently developed Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods that were parameterized to account for the dispersion interaction were also evaluated in the present work. Results come to the conclusion that, in contrast to the claims made, state-of-the-art Density Functional Theory methods are incapable of accounting for dispersion effects in a quantitative way, although these methods predict correctly the inter-atomic separations and are?thus considered a real improvement over the conventional methods. BS-SE has been computed, analyzed and discussed.

文摘As an increasingly used alternative to perfluorooctanoic acid(PFOA),hexafluoropropylene oxide trimer acid(HFPO-TA)has been widely detected in global water environments.However,little is known regarding its toxic effects on cardiovascular development.Here,zebrafish embryos were treated with egg water containing 0,60,120,or 240 mg/L HFPO-TA.Results showed that HFPO-TA treatment led to a significant reduction in both larval survival percentage and heart rate.Furthermore,HFPO-TA exposure caused severe pericardial edema and elongation of the sinus venous to bulbus arteriosus distance(SV-BA)in Tg(myl7:GFP)transgenic larvae,disrupting the expression of genes involved in heart development and thus causing abnormal heart looping.Obvious sprouting angiogenesis was observed in the 120 and 240 mg/L exposed Tg(fli:GFP)transgenic larvae.HFPO-TA treatment also impacted the mRNA levels of genes involved in the vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)pathway and embryonic vascular development.HFPO-TA exposure significantly decreased erythrocyte number in Tg(gata1:DsRed)transgenic embryos and influenced gene expression associated with the heme metabolism pathway.HFPO-TA also induced oxidative stress and altered the transcriptional levels of genes related to cell cycle and apoptosis,inhibiting cell proliferation while promoting apoptosis.Therefore,HFPO-TA exposure may induce abnormal development of the cardiovascular and hematopoietic systems in zebrafish embryos,suggesting it may not be a suitable or safe alternative for PFOA.

文摘TRAF7 serves as a crucial intracellular adaptor and E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in signal transduction pathways,contributing to immune responses,tumor progression,and embryonic development.Somatic mutations within the coiled-coil(CC)domain and WD40 repeat domain of TRAF7 could cause brain tumors,while germline pathogenic mutations contribute to severe developmental abnormalities.However,the precise molecular mechanism underlying TRAF7 involvement in embryonic development remains unclear.In this study,we employed zebrafish as an in vivo model system.TRAF7 knock down caused defects in zebrafish embryonic development.We determined the crystal structure of TRAF7 CC domain at 3.3Åresolution and found that the CC region trimerization was essential for TRAF7 functionality during zebrafish embryonic development.Additionally,disease-causing mutations in TRAF7 CC region could impair the trimer formation,consequently impacting early embryonic development of zebrafish.Therefore,our study sheds light on the molecular mechanism of TRAF7 CC trimer formation and its pivotal role in embryonic development.
