Compound 1 and complex 2 were characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR spectroscopy, and ~H NMR spectroscopy. The crystal structure of complex 2 was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. There are two crystallographic independent molecules in complex 2, and each molecule structure is centro-symmetric and features a central rhombus cyclic Bu4Sn2O2 unit with two exocyclic Sn atoms linked at the O atoms of the four-membered ring. In molecule A, the four Sn atoms are five-coordinated. However, in molecule B, the four Sn atoms have two different coordination geometries, the endocyclic Sn atoms are five-coordinated and the exocyclic Sn atoms are four-coordinated. The dicarboxylate ligands in molecules A and B bridge exocylic or endocyclic tin atoms, forming two macroheterocycles with 26 atoms. Pilot studies have indicated that complex 2 has good anti- bacterial and antitumour activities.展开更多

The method involved solid phase extraction of the analytes and ISs from 200 μL human plasma with no reconstitution and drying steps. The chromatographic separation was achieved on a Symmetry C18 (100 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) column using 10 mM ammonium formate and acetonitrile (30:70, v/v) as the mobile phase in a run time of 2.0 min. Quantitation of analytes and ISs were done by multiple reaction monitoring on a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer in the positive ionization mode. The linearity of the method was established in the concentration range of 0.5-200 ng/mL and 2.0-800 ng/mL for oseltamivir and oseltamivir carboxylate respectively. The mean extraction recovery for oseltamivir (94.4%) and oseltamivir carboxylate (92.7%) from spiked plasma samples was consistent and reproducible. The application of this method was demonstratedby a bioequivalence study in 42 healthy Indian subjects with 75 mg oseltamivir phosphate capsules. The assay reproducibility was established by reanalysis of 151 incurred subject samples.展开更多

Consequently, we employed self-synthesized PCE copolymers with different carboxylic densities to investigate their influence on the rheological behavior of cement paste. Three typical rheological models were applied to analyze the rheological properties, including Power-law model, Bingham model as well as Herschel-Buikley model. In addition, the thixotropical performances of cement paste in the presence of PCE with different carboxylic densities were investigated. The results show that the carboxylic density of PCE greatly influences the dispersing performance of PCE superplasticizers. As carboxylic density increases, the dispersing capability of PCE improves, and P(PEG1-AA6) possesses the strongest dispersing capability, the initial fluidity and 1 h fluidity of cement paste are both the highest, and cement paste has the lowest viscosity and the smallest hysteresis loop.展开更多

Dispersion ability and retention of PC were compared with one another. The results show that increase of side chain is advantageous to dispersion, but it decreases when amount of MPEG is beyond a certain value which is different with the proportion of carboxyl. If the amount of carboxyl increases, the influence of side chain in copolymer on dispersion diminishes. Polyether side chain is advantageous to retention. And the author explained the mechanism of PC using the theory of steric repulsive force.展开更多

Hydr...A combined process was developed to inhibit the corrosion both in the pipeline of reclaimed water supplies(PRWS) and in downstream recirculating cooling water systems(RCWS)using the reclaimed water as makeup. Hydroxyl carboxylate-based corrosion inhibitors(e.g.,gluconate, citrate, tartrate) and zinc sulfate heptahydrate, which provided Zn^2+ as a synergistic corrosion inhibition additive, were added prior to the PRWS when the phosphate(which could be utilized as a corrosion inhibitor) content in the reclaimed water was below 1.7 mg/L, and no additional corrosion inhibitors were required for the downstream RCWS.Satisfactory corrosion inhibition was achieved even if the RCWS was operated under the condition of high numbers of concentration cycles. The corrosion inhibition requirement was also met by the appropriate combination of PO4^3- and Zn^2+ when the phosphate content in the reclaimed water was more than 1.7 mg/L. The process integrated not only water reclamation and reuse, and the operation of a highly concentrated RCWS, but also the comprehensive utilization of phosphate in reclaimed water and the application of non-phosphorus corrosion inhibitors. The proposed process reduced the operating cost of the PRWS and the RCWS, and lowered the environmental hazard caused by the excessive discharge of phosphate. Furthermore, larger amounts of water resources could be conserved as a result.展开更多

Luminescence spectra of europium acetate, nitropropionate, benzoate, naphthylcarboxylates, phenylacetates, phenoxyacetate, triphenylpropionate were investigated. A few of europium carboxylates with 2,2'-bipyridine Eu(RCOO)3·Bpy and europium salts Eu(RCOO)3·nH2O were also studied. Vibrational IR and Raman spectra of phenylacetate family were analyzed. The crystal structure of nitropropionate Eu(NO2C2H4COO)3·Phen was solved by X-my diffraction method. The predominant influence of steric hindrances on Eu^3+ coordination centre was observed at increase of the size of aromatic flagment of carboxylate anions. It was demonstrated, that introduction of the methylene bridges between the carboxylic group and aromatic rings of ligand weakens the effect of steric factor.展开更多

The process integrated not only water reclamation and reuse, and the operation of a highly concentrated RCWS, but also the comprehensive utilization of phosphate in reclaimed water and the application of non-phosphorus corrosion inhibitors. The proposed process reduced the operating cost of the PRWS and the RCWS, and lowered the environmental hazard caused by the excessive discharge of phosphate. Furthermore, larger amounts of water resources could be conserved as a result.

文摘Methods of optical spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography data were used to examine the effect of architecture of carboxylate anions on structure of the Eu3+ coordination centre in europium earboxylates with 1,10-phenanthroline Eu(RCOO)3·Phen. Luminescence spectra of europium acetate, nitropropionate, benzoate, naphthylcarboxylates, phenylacetates, phenoxyacetate, triphenylpropionate were investigated. A few of europium carboxylates with 2,2'-bipyridine Eu(RCOO)3·Bpy and europium salts Eu(RCOO)3·nH2O were also studied. Vibrational IR and Raman spectra of phenylacetate family were analyzed. The crystal structure of nitropropionate Eu(NO2C2H4COO)3·Phen was solved by X-my diffraction method. The predominant influence of steric hindrances on Eu^3+ coordination centre was observed at increase of the size of aromatic flagment of carboxylate anions. It was demonstrated, that introduction of the methylene bridges between the carboxylic group and aromatic rings of ligand weakens the effect of steric factor.
文摘The IFTs(Interfacial tension)of petroleum carboxylate/alkaline/HPAM(Hydrolyzed polyacrylamide)flooding system with Daing crude oil and the effects of petroleum carboxylate and alkaline on viscoaity of HPAM solution were studied.There exists remarkable synergism between HPAM and petroleum carboxylate,and the introduction of HPAM into petroleum carboxylate/alka- line system leads the lowering of IFTs against Daqing crude oil,The introduction of petroleum carboxylate into solution of HPAM also leads the decreasing of viscosity,but the extent of viscosity decreasing is much lower than that caused by inorganic salts such as NaCl and CaCl_2.

文摘Based on the quantum chemical descriptors and the activities for isoprene polymerization of 12 neodymium carboxylates obtained by authors’earlier work,statistical analysis of data was made and a QSAR model correlating the quantum chemical descriptors and the activity was built with the partial least square(PLS)approach.The model is:A=51602εHOMO+6σ+12546,which indicates that the catalytic activity A is positively correlated with the HOMO energyεHOMOand the ligand polarizabilityσ,with the contribution ofσbeing larger,εHOMO smaller.The model’s coefficient of determination r^2=0.96 and that of cross validation q^2=0.94,both being close to 1,which means that its quality is well and its predictive power is strong.Analysis of the modeling process and the resulted QSAR model,together with the interpretation of the model’s mechanism,also shows that the model obtained from this study is valid and reliable.According to the QSAR model,the mechanism of catalyst activity can be interpreted as that neodymium carboxylates with higher HOMO energy and larger ligand polarizability are easier to react with the co-catalysts so as to produce more active and stable centers of catalyst,resulting in a higher activity.
