Fifteen carbonyls were quantified with average total mixing ratios of 20.38 ppbv Formaldehyde(9.86 ppbv), acetone(4.41 ppbv), and acetaldehyde(3.57 ppbv) were the three most abundant carbonyls. During the heavy ozone pollution episode, the concentration of carbonyls was found to be higher on pollution days than on the clean days, and relatively higher in the daytime, especially at noon on the pollution days. This was influenced by the intensity of photochemical reactions and precipitation. The “weekend effect” with the concentration of carbonyls was higher on the weekends than on the weekdays was pointed out. Formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and hexaldehyde were the dominant oxidative species during the observation. The carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risk values of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde were higher on pollution days than on clean days, and these values were higher compared with those of other cities in China and abroad. Long-term exposure to these compounds should therefore be avoided. Diagnostic ratios and correlation analysis together with backward trajectory analysis showed that primary emission and secondary formation accounted 66%-76% and 24%–34% of carbonyls in Chengdu, respectively, with primary emission being the main sources of carbonyls, and carbonyls from the surrounding cities and emission from natural sources also had a significant contribution to the carbonyls in Chengdu.展开更多

Six carbonyls, including formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acetone, butyraldehyde, valeraldehyde, and hexaldehyde, were identified in all air samples. The total average concentrations of these carbonyls before, during, and after traffic restriction were （48.1 ± 15.2）, （36.6 ± 14.5） and （23.4± 12.3） μg/m^3, respectively. Compared with the period after traffic restriction, the distinct high concentrations of the carbonyls before and during traffic restriction were primarily ascribed to the remarkable contribution of photochemical reactions. With respect to our previous investigation in the summer of 2005, the reductions of formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and acetone during traffic restriction period were about 64%, 47% and 27%, respectively, indicating that the air cleaning actions adopted by the Chinese government for the two games were efficient. The lowest levels of atmospheric carbonyls and the extremely high composition proportion of acetone after the traffic restriction were mainly attributed to the long-term effect of the control measures for the two games.展开更多

Additionally, they serve as important intermediates in organic synthesis. Transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric carbonylative cross-coupling reactions are among the most straightforward and effective methods for synthesizing chiral carbonyl compounds, including esters, amides, and ketones. The advances in asymmetric carbonylative cross-coupling reactions using various O-, N-, C-, and S-containing nucleophiles or electrophiles over the past decade are summarized.展开更多

MPs degradation has received widespread attention. Manganese(Mn) is a highly reactive metal element in the environment, yet its contribution to MPs degradation remains unclear. Herein,we simulated the aging of polyethylene MPs with Mn(Ⅱ) under aqueous conditions at pH 5 and 8 for720 days. Mn greatly promoted the MPs degradation, and the average particle sizes of polyethylene MPs were reduced from 9.2 μm to 5.9 μm after aging at pH 5 under light irradiation for 720 days. Plenty of oxygen-containing groups were generated on the MPs surfaces, and the carbonyl index remarkably increased, reaching four times that of the control without adding Mn. Mechanistically, the adsorbed Mn(Ⅱ)on the MPs surfaces were primarily oxidized to high-valence Mn(Ⅲ/Ⅳ) profited from the photoproduced radicals, followed by the MPs oxidation via Mn(Ⅲ/Ⅳ), which were reduced to regenerate Mn(Ⅱ), initiating a new redox cycling. During the degradation, dissolved organic matter was continuously released, mainly including bisphenol A and phthalic acid esters. Mn acts as a catalyst to accelerate the MPs degradation by redox cycling. Our results provide a new insight into the mechanisms of abiotic degradation of MPs in aqueous environments.展开更多

The total average concentrations of these carbonyls before, during, and after traffic restriction were （48.1 ± 15.2）, （36.6 ± 14.5） and （23.4± 12.3） μg/m^3, respectively. Compared with the period after traffic restriction, the distinct high concentrations of the carbonyls before and during traffic restriction were primarily ascribed to the remarkable contribution of photochemical reactions. With respect to our previous investigation in the summer of 2005, the reductions of formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and acetone during traffic restriction period were about 64%, 47% and 27%, respectively, indicating that the air cleaning actions adopted by the Chinese government for the two games were efficient. The lowest levels of atmospheric carbonyls and the extremely high composition proportion of acetone after the traffic restriction were mainly attributed to the long-term effect of the control measures for the two games.
文摘In their recent Journal of Environmental Sciences publication,Wang and colleagues provide field evidence that industrial activities can contribute substantially to atmospheric carbonyl concentrations（Wang et al.,2015）.These results may helpto explain underestimations of carbonyl emissions in currently available emission inventories,and highlight the need for an improved understanding of industrial sources of this class of compounds.

文摘Arsenic-related oxidative stress and resultant diseases have attracted global concern,while longitudinal studies are scarce.To assess the relationship between arsenic exposure and systemic oxidative damage,we performed two repeatedmeasures among 5236 observations(4067 participants)in theWuhan-Zhuhai cohort at the baseline and follow-up after 3 years.Urinary total arsenic,biomarkers of DNA oxidative damage(8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine(8-OHdG)),lipid peroxidation(8-isoprostaglandin F2alpha(8-isoPGF2α)),and protein oxidative damage(protein carbonyls(PCO))were detected for all observations.Here we used linearmixed models to estimate the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between arsenic exposure and oxidative damage.Exposure-response curves were constructed by utilizing the generalized additive mixed models with thin plate regressions.After adjusting for potential confounders,arsenic level was significantly and positively related to the levels of global oxidative damage and their annual increased rates in dose-response manners.In cross-sectional analyses,each 1%increase in arsenic levelwas associated with a 0.406%(95%confidence interval(CI):0.379%to 0.433%),0.360%(0.301%to 0.420%),and 0.079%(0.055%to 0.103%)increase in 8-isoPGF2α,8-OHdG,and PCO,respectively.More importantly,arsenic was further found to be associated with increased annual change rates of 8-isoPGF2α(β:0.147;95%CI:0.130 to 0.164),8-OHdG(0.155;0.118 to 0.192),and PCO(0.050;0.035 to 0.064)in the longitudinal analyses.Our study suggested that arsenic exposurewas not only positively related with global oxidative damage to lipid,DNA,and protein in cross-sectional analyses,but also associated with annual increased rates of these biomarkers in dose-dependent manners.

文摘The photochemical conversion of SO_(2) to sulfates on 4-(benzoyl)benzoic acid(4-BBA)was investigated deeply in the presence of anionic and cationic surfactants.The types of surfactants determined their effect behaviors,and cationic surfactants can significantly enhance the SO_(2) oxidation on 4-BBA under irradiation,as shown by larger SO_(2) uptake coefficients and sulfate production.Hydrophilic moieties in cationic surfactants have a greater enhancement effect on the photochemical conversion of SO_(2) to sulfates than the corresponding hydrophobic moieties.Cationic surfactants obviously increased the accumulation of H_(2)O on the surface,which was proved to be the main factor influencing the SO_(2) uptake and the sulfate formation on 4-BBA.SO_(2) lifetime and sulfate formation rate in the mixture system of photosensitive substances with surfactants were evaluated to be 2.25 days and 0.09μg/(m^(3)·h),respectively.

文摘Homoleptic mononuclear and binuclear ruthenium carbonyls Ru(CO)n(n=3―5) and Ru2(CO)n(n=8,9) have been investigated using density functional theory.Sixteen isomers are obtained.For Ru(CO)5,the lowest-energy structure is the singlet D3h trigonal bipyramid.Similar to Os(CO)5,the distorted square pyramid isomer with C2v symmetry lies ～7 kJ·mol-1 higher in energy.For the unsaturated mononuclear ruthenium carbonyls Ru(CO)4 and Ru(CO)3,a singlet structure with C2v symmetry and a Cs bent Tshaped structure are the lowest-energy structures,respectively.The global minimum for the Ru2(CO)9 is a singly bridged(CO)4Ru(μ-CO)Ru(CO)4 structure.A triply bridged Ru2(CO)6(μ-CO)3 structure analogous to the known Fe2(CO)9 structure is predicted to lie very close in energy to the global minimum.For Ru2(CO)8,the doubly bridged C2 structure is predicted to be the global minimum.For the lowest-energy structures of M2(CO)n(M=Fe,Ru,Os,n=9,8),it is found that both iron and ruthenium are favored to form structures containing more bridging carbonyl groups,while osmium prefers to have structures with less bridging carbonyl groups.The study of dissociation energy shows that the dissociation of Ru2(CO)9 into the mononuclear fragments Ru(CO)5+Ru(CO)4 is a less energetically demanding process than the dissociation of one carbonyl group from Ru2(CO)9 to give Ru2(CO)8.

文摘The inhibition capacity of bound-polyphenol rich insoluble dietary fiber(BP-IDF)from highland barley to carbonyl compounds was studied during in vitro gastrointestinal(GI)digestion.More than 97%of fiber-bound polyphenols were still presented in highland barley BP-IDF(HBBP-IDF)after GI digestion.The fiber-bound polyphenols in HBBP-IDF effectively inhibit carbonyls when simultaneously digested with cookies and French fries and exhibited more pronounced effect during gastric digestion stage,with inhibition of 63.4%for methylglyoxal,54.3%for glyoxal,47.6%for malondialdehyde and 42.4%for 4-hydroxy-2-nonenel,respectively.These findings suggest that HBBP-IDF could be use as functional ingredients able to inhibit the formation of carbonyls during digestion process and maintain healthful digestive tract environment.
文摘Polyhydroxyalkanoate(PHA),a well-known biodegradable polymer,featuresβ-lactones as its monomers,which can be selectively synthesized through ring-expansion carbonylation of epoxides using well-defined[Lewis acid]^(+)[Co(CO)_(4)]^(-)catalysts.However,the decomposition of[Co(CO)_(4)]^(-)species at temperatures exceeding 80℃presents a hurdle for the development of commercially viable processes under high-temperature reaction conditions to reduce reaction time.Drawing insights from stable{(acyl)Co(CO)n}intermediates involved in historical HCo(CO)_(4)-catalyzed hydroformylation processes,we sought to the high-temperature catalytic activity of epoxide ring-expansion carbonylation.The developed catalyst system,[(acetyl)Co(CO)_(2)dppp]and[(TPP)CrCl],exhibited exceptional catalytic performance with an unprecedented initial turnover frequency of 4700 h^(-1)at 100℃and a turnover numbers of 93000.Notably,the catalyst displayed outstanding stability,operating at 80℃for 168 h while selectively generatingβ-lactones.

文摘The amide moiety plays an important role as a powerful bioactive backbone,and as the synthetic chemistry community moves toward more sp^(3)-rich scaffolds,alkyl halides have become the feedstock of choice for obtaining carbonylation products.With the development of photoredox catalysis,several aminocarbonylation systems for alkyl halides were developed which usually require transition metal catalysis.Considering the demands for green sustainable chemical synthesis,here we report a metal-free,exogenous catalyst-free aminocarbonylation reaction of alkyl iodides under atmospheric pressure of carbon monoxide.Through a combination of EDA and XAT strategies,the reaction occurs efficiently under only light irradiation at room temperature.

文摘Microplastics(MPs) are an emerging environmental pollutant and have penetrated the most remote and primitive areas. MPs degradation has received widespread attention. Manganese(Mn) is a highly reactive metal element in the environment, yet its contribution to MPs degradation remains unclear. Herein,we simulated the aging of polyethylene MPs with Mn(Ⅱ) under aqueous conditions at pH 5 and 8 for720 days. Mn greatly promoted the MPs degradation, and the average particle sizes of polyethylene MPs were reduced from 9.2 μm to 5.9 μm after aging at pH 5 under light irradiation for 720 days. Plenty of oxygen-containing groups were generated on the MPs surfaces, and the carbonyl index remarkably increased, reaching four times that of the control without adding Mn. Mechanistically, the adsorbed Mn(Ⅱ)on the MPs surfaces were primarily oxidized to high-valence Mn(Ⅲ/Ⅳ) profited from the photoproduced radicals, followed by the MPs oxidation via Mn(Ⅲ/Ⅳ), which were reduced to regenerate Mn(Ⅱ), initiating a new redox cycling. During the degradation, dissolved organic matter was continuously released, mainly including bisphenol A and phthalic acid esters. Mn acts as a catalyst to accelerate the MPs degradation by redox cycling. Our results provide a new insight into the mechanisms of abiotic degradation of MPs in aqueous environments.
文摘Protein damage repair and prevention are important objectives in skin care industry.Skin protein damage or modifications such as glycation,carbonylation or oxidation,have a significant impact on its function,therefore directly influencing various skin functions or properties including skin appearance.However,there is a lack of comprehensive methods to visualize and assess the protein damage.In this article,we present a three-channel imaging approach to simultaneously visualize and quantitatively evaluate protein oxidation,protein glycation and carbonylation in a full-thickness skin model.We successfully visualized and quantified the impact of the multiple stimuli(ultraviolet radiation A(UVA)and/or methylglyoxal)as well as treatment effect of positive control(vitamins C and E)with this method.Our findings indicate that multiple stimuli exhibit synergistic effects on protein damage.Furthermore,we evaluated a unique combination of skin care ingredients which demonstrated an excellent efficacy in resisting protein damage.Further research revealed that three ingredients of the combination upregulate autophagy in cells,which may contribute to remove damaged proteins and maintain protein quality homeostasis.This method provides a holistic assessment of protein damages and can be employed to evaluate the impact of various stimuli or to assess the efficacy of skin care ingredients in mitigating such damage.

文摘Herein,we report an iron-promoted carbonylation-rearrangement ofα-aminoaryl-tethered alkylidene cyclopropanes with CO_(2)to generate quinolinofuran derivatives.A variety of quinolinofuran derivatives are obtained in moderate to excellent yields,and two promising luminescent material molecules have been synthesized using the developed method.The Lewis acid Fe Cl_(3)was introduced into this reaction,which effectively promoted the ring opening and rearrangement of cyclopropanes.This reaction features a broad substrate scope,satisfactory functional group tolerance,facile scalability,and easy derivatization of the products.
文摘Upgrading carbon dioxide(CO_(2))into value-added bulk chemicals offers a dual-benefit strategy for the carbon neutrality and circular carbon economy.Herein,we develop an integrated CO_(2) valorization strategy that synergizes CO_(2)-H_(2)O co-electrolysis(producing CO/O_(2) feeds)with oxidative double carbonylation of ethylene/acetylene to synthesize CO_(2)-derived C_(4) diesters(dimethyl succinate,fumarate,and maleate).A group of versatile building blocks for manufacturing plasticizers,biodegradable polymers,and pharmaceutical intermediates.Remarkably,CO_(2) exhibits dual functionality:serving simultaneously as a CO/O_(2) source and an explosion suppressant during the oxidative carbonylation process.We systematically investigated the explosion-suppressing efficacy of CO_(2) in flammable gas mixtures(CO/O_(2),C_(2)H_(4)/CO/O_(2),and C_(2)H_(2)/CO/O_(2))across varying concentrations.Notably,the mixed gas stream from CO_(2)/H_(2)O co-electrolysis at an industrial-scale current densities of 400 mA/cm^(2),enabling direct utilization in oxidative double carbonylation reactions with exceptional compatibility and inherent safety.Extended applications were demonstrated through substrate scope expansion and gram-scale synthesis.This study establishes not only a safe protocol for oxidative carbonylation processes,but also opens an innovative pathway for sustainable CO_(2) valorization,including CO surrogate and explosion suppressant.

文摘Nitrogen-containing organic compounds(NOCs)may potentially contribute to aqueous secondary organic aerosols,yet the different formation of NOCs in aerosol particles and cloud droplets remains unclear.With the in-situ measurements performed at a mountain site(1690 m a.s.l.)in southern China,we investigated the formation of NOCs in the cloud droplets and the cloud-free particles,based on their mixing state information of NOCscontaining particles by single particle mass spectrometry.The relative abundance of NOCs in the cloud-free particles was significantly higher than those in cloud residual(cloud RES)particles.NOCs were highly correlated with carbonyl compounds(including glyoxalate and methylglyoxal)in the cloud-free particles,however,limited correlation was observed for cloud RES particles.Analysis of their mixing state and temporal variations highlights that NOCs was mainly formed from the carbonyl compounds and ammonium in the cloud-free particles,rather than in the cloud RES particles.The results support that the formation of NOCs from carbonyl compounds is facilitated in concentrated solutions in wet aerosols,rather than cloud droplets.In addition,we have identified the transport of biomass burning particles that facilitate the formation of NOCs,and that the observed NOCs is most likely contributed to the light absorption.These findings have implications for the evaluation of NOCs formation and their contribution to light absorption.
文摘Herein,we present a copper-catalyzed carbonylative cross-coupling of unactivated alkyl bromides with aryl boronates under CO atmosphere which enabling the efficient synthesis of C(sp3)-C(sp2)ketones with extensive functional group compatibility.This strategy represents a significant advance in copper-catalyzed carbonylation involving alkyl bromides and C(sp2)-nucleophiles.The protocol addresses key challenges commonly encountered in the coupling of C(sp3)-alkyl halides with aryl boron reagents,such as sluggish oxidative addition of alkyl halides,competing Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling,undesired dehalogenation and so on.Distinguished by its broad substrate scope and high functional group tolerance,this approach offers a robust and versatile platform for the streamlined synthesis of alkyl aryl ketones.
