It exhibited separation abilities to disubstituted benzene isomers and some chiral solutes. It was also found that the polarity of CD derivatives can be lowered both by chemically bonding it to polysiloxane and by diluting it in polysiloxane. The separation abilities of the polysiloxane anchored CDs (SP CD) are higher than that of the unbonded CDs (S CD) and the diluted S CD at lower column temperature. Hydrosilylation reaction is one of the best methods to lower the operating temperature of CDs.展开更多

To investigate the non-covalent interaction between cyclodextrins （CD） and lithium ion, a stoichiometry of α-CD, β-CD, heptakis（2,6-di-O-methyl）-β-CD （DM-β-CD）, or heptakis（2,3,6-tri-O-methyl）-β-CD （TM-...To investigate the non-covalent interaction between cyclodextrins （CD） and lithium ion, a stoichiometry of α-CD, β-CD, heptakis（2,6-di-O-methyl）-β-CD （DM-β-CD）, or heptakis（2,3,6-tri-O-methyl）-β-CD （TM-β-CD） was mixed with lithium salt, respectively, and then incubated at room temperature for 10 min to reach the equilibrium. In posi- tive mode, the electrospray ionization mass spectrometry （ESI-MS） results demonstrated that lithium ion can conjugate to α-, β-, DM-β- or TM-β-CD and form 1：1 stoichiometric non-covalent complexes. The binding of the complexes was further confirmed by collision- induced dissociation. The dissociation constants Kdl of four complexes （Li＋α-CD, Li＋β- CD, Li＋DM-β-CD, and Li＋TM-β-CD） were determined by mass spectrometric titration. The results showed Kdl were 18.7, 26.7, 33.6, 30.5 μmol/L for the complexes of Li＋ with α-CD, β-CD, DM-β-CD, and TM-β-CD, respectively. Kdl for the Li＋ complexes of/3-CD is smaller than that of DM-β-CD due to its steric effect of the partial substituted -CH3. The Kdl for the Li＋ complexes of DM-β-CD is nearly in agreement with that of TM-β-CD, indicating Li＋ is more likely to locate in the small rim of DM-β-CD＇s hydrophobic cavity. The DFT results showed through electrostatic interaction, one Li＋ can strongly conjugate to four neighboring oxygen atoms. For the （α-CD＋Li）＋ complex, one Li＋ may also situate the small rim of α-CD＇s hydrophobic cavity to form a non-specific host-vip complex.展开更多

The DSC profiles illustrated that the peralkylated β-cyclodextrins synthesized possess the supercoooled state and the glass state below their melting point The PYGC results showed that the long-chain alkylated β-cyclodextrins are more thermostable than the short-chain. one All ofthese peralkylated β-cyclodextrins are suitable for use as capillary column gas chromatographic stationary phases,which can easily be coatal on the fused silica capilary columns and have nice chromatographic retention behaviour. For example, the capillary colunns coated with these materials can excellently separate three methylphenol isomers and six dimehylphenol isomers.展开更多

Methods Mixture of β cyclodextrin and glutamate β cyclodextrin was used as a chiral selector to the separation of chlorpheniramine. The effects of the concentrations of β cyclodextrin and glutamate β cyclodextrin, the voltage and the pH of buffers on the separation of chlorpheniramine were studied. Results The chiral recognization of the mixed chiral selector was better than that of a single selector. At pH below 4, the pH of buffers did not affect the separation and the separation of chlorpheniramine had good reproducibility. Conclusion Using a mixture of β CD and Glu β CD as chiral selector is useful for the enantioseparation of Chp in CE.展开更多

The results showed that GluCD and EDCD were powerful complexant for ANT and Cd^2＋. In the presence of 10 g/L GIuCD and EDCD, the solubilization of ANT increased by 47.04 and 23.85 times compared to the control, respectively. GluCD resulted in approximately 90% complexation of Cd^2＋ while 70% complexation was observed for EDCD. Simultaneously, GluCD and EDCD could greatly enhance the elution removal of ANT and Cd^2＋ from soil. GluCD resulted in the highest elution efficiency of ANT and Cd^2＋. With the addition of 10 g/L GluCD, 53.5% of ANT and 85.6% of Cd^2＋ were eluted, respectively. The ANT had a negligible effect on the Cd^2＋ removal due to different complexing sites of ANT and Cd^2＋, while Cd^2＋ enhanced the ANT removal under the addition of GluCD because Cd^2＋ neutralized the -COOH group of GIuCD. Adversely, the removal of ANT was decreased with Cd^2＋ under the addition of EDCD, this was due to the fact that Cd^2＋ enhanced the polarity of EDCD molecule and inhibited the complexation between ANT and EDCD. The study suggested that GluCD could be preferred and be successfully applied to remediation of heavy metals or organic compounds in contaminated soil.展开更多

Methods Two new β-cyclodextrin derivatives, heptakis-[2, 6-di-O-pentyl-3-O-(4-nitrobenzyl)] -β-CD and heptakis-[2, 6-di-O-pentyl-3 -O-(5 -hexenyl)]-β-CD, were synthesized and coatal on fed-silica capillary columns. The chromatographic behaviors of the columns were characterized . Results It was found that the she, polarity, and aromatic property of the substituted group at the 3-position of heptakis-(2, 6 - di - O - pentyl) - β - cyclodextrins greatly influenced their chromatographic properties and separation ability. The introduction of aromatic group or a group containing a double-bond may bring π-π interactions between the host and vip molecules, and therefore increases the separation ability of the β-CDs for substituted benzene isomers. Conclusion The new substituted β-CD compounds are very suitable for being used as gas chromatogaphic stationary phases.展开更多

文摘The impact of cyclodextrins(CDs)on wine quality and stability remains largely unknown.This study systematically assessed the protective effect of the post-fermentation addition of CDs on color stability of red wine from the viewpoints of color characteristics,copigmentation and phenolic profiles.The grey relational analysis(GRA)and principal component analysis(PCA)methods were employed to dissect the key effective determinants related to color quality.The addition of CDs induced a significant hyperchromic effect of 8.19-25.40%,a significant bathochromic effect and an enhancement of the color intensity.Furthermore,the evolution of anthocyanin forms and the content of monomeric anthocyanins revealed that β-CD is a superior favorable cofactor during wine aging,but for long-term aging,2-HP-β-CD and 2-HP-γ-CD are more beneficial in promoting the formation of polymerized anthocyanins and color stability.This work provides an important reference for the use of CDs to enhance the color quality and stability of red wines.

文摘The construction of hydrogels with good mechanical properties and phosphorescent properties is full of challenges.Herein,we report a supramolecular phosphorescent hydrogel with long lifetime,high tensile strength and self-healing property,which can be easily constructed through in-situ thermalinitiated polymerization of isocyanatoethyl acrylate-modifiedβ-cyclodextrin(β-CD-DA)and acrylatemodified adamantane(Ad-DA),acrylic acid(AA),followed by the non-covalent association with carbon dots(CNDs).The lifetime of phosphorescent hydrogel can reach 1261 ms at room temperature,and the quantum yield is 11%.Importantly,through the efficient triplet to singlet Förster resonance energy transfer(TS-FRET),the phosphorescent hydrogel shows the good phosphorescence energy transfer property for organic dyes Rhodamine B and Eosin Y with the delayed fluorescence lifetime up to 730 ms and 585 ms as well as the energy transfer efficiency(Φ_(ET))up to 99.9%and 99.3%,respectively.Moreover,owing to the host-vip interactions betweenβ-CD-DA and Ad-DA,the three-dimensional cross-linked network phosphorescent hydrogel can be easily stretched to 18 times of its original length,and can achieve self-healing of the cut surfaces within 30 min.These results will expand the scope of phosphorescent materials and provide new ideas and opportunities for materials science.

文摘Supramolecular assembly strategy has been proved to be an effective way to construct near-infrared(NIR)luminescent materials,especially the host-vip complexation involving macrocycles(such as cyclodextrin,cucurbituril,and pillararene).In particular,the tetraphenylethylene(TPE)derivatives are the most common and easily synthesized and functionalized aggregationinduced emission(AIE)emitters,which can not only overcome the aggregation-caused quenching(ACQ)problem of traditional organic fluorescent molecules,but also have high photobleaching threshold and good biocompatibility showing broad application prospects in the construction of multifunctional luminescent materials.
文摘A new capillary gas chromatography stationary phase, monokis (2,6 di O benzyl 3 O propyl (3’)) hexakis(2,6 di O benzyl 3 O methyl) β CD bonded polysiloxane, was synthesized. It exhibited separation abilities to disubstituted benzene isomers and some chiral solutes. It was also found that the polarity of CD derivatives can be lowered both by chemically bonding it to polysiloxane and by diluting it in polysiloxane. The separation abilities of the polysiloxane anchored CDs (SP CD) are higher than that of the unbonded CDs (S CD) and the diluted S CD at lower column temperature. Hydrosilylation reaction is one of the best methods to lower the operating temperature of CDs.

文摘An efficient solvent free method for the synthesis of various 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2（1H）-one/thiones in excellent yields using sulfonatedβ-cyclodextrine as recyclable catalyst is described.Sulfonatedβ-cyclodextrine was found to be efficient,recyclable heterogeneous catalyst and showed rate enhancements,high yields and short reaction times in this transformation.
文摘To investigate the non-covalent interaction between cyclodextrins （CD） and lithium ion, a stoichiometry of α-CD, β-CD, heptakis（2,6-di-O-methyl）-β-CD （DM-β-CD）, or heptakis（2,3,6-tri-O-methyl）-β-CD （TM-β-CD） was mixed with lithium salt, respectively, and then incubated at room temperature for 10 min to reach the equilibrium. In posi- tive mode, the electrospray ionization mass spectrometry （ESI-MS） results demonstrated that lithium ion can conjugate to α-, β-, DM-β- or TM-β-CD and form 1：1 stoichiometric non-covalent complexes. The binding of the complexes was further confirmed by collision- induced dissociation. The dissociation constants Kdl of four complexes （Li＋α-CD, Li＋β- CD, Li＋DM-β-CD, and Li＋TM-β-CD） were determined by mass spectrometric titration. The results showed Kdl were 18.7, 26.7, 33.6, 30.5 μmol/L for the complexes of Li＋ with α-CD, β-CD, DM-β-CD, and TM-β-CD, respectively. Kdl for the Li＋ complexes of/3-CD is smaller than that of DM-β-CD due to its steric effect of the partial substituted -CH3. The Kdl for the Li＋ complexes of DM-β-CD is nearly in agreement with that of TM-β-CD, indicating Li＋ is more likely to locate in the small rim of DM-β-CD＇s hydrophobic cavity. The DFT results showed through electrostatic interaction, one Li＋ can strongly conjugate to four neighboring oxygen atoms. For the （α-CD＋Li）＋ complex, one Li＋ may also situate the small rim of α-CD＇s hydrophobic cavity to form a non-specific host-vip complex.
文摘Six peralkylated β- cyclodec\xtrins used as capillary gas chromatographic stationary phases were prepared and characterized by differential by differential scannning calorimetry(DSC) and pyrolysis gas chromatography (PyGC). The DSC profiles illustrated that the peralkylated β-cyclodextrins synthesized possess the supercoooled state and the glass state below their melting point The PYGC results showed that the long-chain alkylated β-cyclodextrins are more thermostable than the short-chain. one All ofthese peralkylated β-cyclodextrins are suitable for use as capillary column gas chromatographic stationary phases,which can easily be coatal on the fused silica capilary columns and have nice chromatographic retention behaviour. For example, the capillary colunns coated with these materials can excellently separate three methylphenol isomers and six dimehylphenol isomers.
文摘Aim To study the chiral separation of chlorpheniramine(Chp) by using a mixture of β CD and glutamate β CD as the chiral additive in CE. Methods Mixture of β cyclodextrin and glutamate β cyclodextrin was used as a chiral selector to the separation of chlorpheniramine. The effects of the concentrations of β cyclodextrin and glutamate β cyclodextrin, the voltage and the pH of buffers on the separation of chlorpheniramine were studied. Results The chiral recognization of the mixed chiral selector was better than that of a single selector. At pH below 4, the pH of buffers did not affect the separation and the separation of chlorpheniramine had good reproducibility. Conclusion Using a mixture of β CD and Glu β CD as chiral selector is useful for the enantioseparation of Chp in CE.

文摘Two highly water-soluble amino acids, which derived from β-CDs, i.e., glutamic acid-β-cyclodextrin （GluCD） and ethylene-diamine- β-cyclodextrin （EDCD）, were synthesized and were examined for their effect on solubilization of anthracene （ANT）, complexation of cadmium （Cd^2＋）, and elution removal of ANT and Cd^2＋ in soil. The results showed that GluCD and EDCD were powerful complexant for ANT and Cd^2＋. In the presence of 10 g/L GIuCD and EDCD, the solubilization of ANT increased by 47.04 and 23.85 times compared to the control, respectively. GluCD resulted in approximately 90% complexation of Cd^2＋ while 70% complexation was observed for EDCD. Simultaneously, GluCD and EDCD could greatly enhance the elution removal of ANT and Cd^2＋ from soil. GluCD resulted in the highest elution efficiency of ANT and Cd^2＋. With the addition of 10 g/L GluCD, 53.5% of ANT and 85.6% of Cd^2＋ were eluted, respectively. The ANT had a negligible effect on the Cd^2＋ removal due to different complexing sites of ANT and Cd^2＋, while Cd^2＋ enhanced the ANT removal under the addition of GluCD because Cd^2＋ neutralized the -COOH group of GIuCD. Adversely, the removal of ANT was decreased with Cd^2＋ under the addition of EDCD, this was due to the fact that Cd^2＋ enhanced the polarity of EDCD molecule and inhibited the complexation between ANT and EDCD. The study suggested that GluCD could be preferred and be successfully applied to remediation of heavy metals or organic compounds in contaminated soil.
文摘Aim To study the chromatographis beheviors of three new cinnamyl cyclodextrin derivative stationary phases. Mehtods Three new cinnamyl β-cyclodextrins, heptakis-(2, 6-di-O-cinnamyl-3-O-methyl)-β-CD, heptakis-(2, 6-di-O-cinnamyl-3-O-acetyl-)-β-CD and heptakis-2, 6-di-O-cirinamyl-3-O-trifluoroacetyl)-β-CD were synthesized and coatal on fused-silica capillary columns . Results The new stationary phases have better thermal stability, good column efficiency and excellent mpaxation power for some sutstituted benzene positional isomers. It was found that the introduction of cinnamyl groups has a significant effect on these stationary phases. Conclusion There new subetituted β-CD compounds are very suitable to be ed as gas chromatographic stationary phases.
文摘Aim To study the chromatographic behaviors of two dipentyl cyclodextrin derivative stationary phases. Methods Two new β-cyclodextrin derivatives, heptakis-[2, 6-di-O-pentyl-3-O-(4-nitrobenzyl)] -β-CD and heptakis-[2, 6-di-O-pentyl-3 -O-(5 -hexenyl)]-β-CD, were synthesized and coatal on fed-silica capillary columns. The chromatographic behaviors of the columns were characterized . Results It was found that the she, polarity, and aromatic property of the substituted group at the 3-position of heptakis-(2, 6 - di - O - pentyl) - β - cyclodextrins greatly influenced their chromatographic properties and separation ability. The introduction of aromatic group or a group containing a double-bond may bring π-π interactions between the host and vip molecules, and therefore increases the separation ability of the β-CDs for substituted benzene isomers. Conclusion The new substituted β-CD compounds are very suitable for being used as gas chromatogaphic stationary phases.

文摘Rechargeable zinc-air batteries(ZABs)are a promising energy conversion device,which rely critically on electrocatalysts to accelerate their rate-determining reactions such as oxygen reduction(ORR)and oxygen evolution reactions(OER).Herein,we fabricate a range of bifunctional M-N-C(metal-nitrogen-carbon)catalysts containing M-Nx coordination sites and M/MxC nanoparticles(M=Co,Fe,and Cu)using a new class ofγ-cyclodextrin(CD)based metal-organic framework as the precursor.With the two types of active sites interacting with each other in the catalysts,the obtained Fe@C-FeNC and Co@C-CoNC display superior alkaline ORR activity in terms of low half-wave(E1/2)potential(~0.917 and 0.906 V,respectively),which are higher than Cu@C-CuNC(~0.829 V)and the commercial Pt/C(~0.861 V).As a bifunctional electrocatalyst,the Co@C-CoNC exhibits the best performance,showing a bifunctional ORR/OER overpotential(ΔE)of~0.732 V,which is much lower than that of Fe@C-FeNC(~0.831 V)and Cu@C-CuNC(~1.411 V),as well as most of the robust bifunctional electrocatalysts reported to date.Synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy and density functional theory simulations reveal that the strong electronic correlation between metallic Co nanoparticles and the atomic Co-N4 sites in the Co@C-CoNC catalyst can increase the d-electron density near the Fermi level and thus effectively optimize the adsorption/desorption of intermediates in ORR/OER,resulting in an enhanced bifunctional electrocatalytic performance.The Co@C-CoNC-based rechargeable ZAB exhibited a maximum power density of 162.80 mW cm^(−2) at 270.30 mA cm^(−2),higher than the combination of commercial Pt/C+RuO2(~158.90 mW cm^(−2) at 265.80 mA cm^(−2))catalysts.During the galvanostatic discharge at 10 mA cm^(−2),the ZAB delivered an almost stable discharge voltage of 1.2 V for~140 h,signifying the virtue of excellent bifunctional ORR/OER electrocatalytic activity.
