Our calculations suggest that, in an acidic environment, a cytosine monomer is first protonated and then dimerized with an unprotonated cytosine monomer to form a C-C＋ base pair; in an alkaline environment, a protonated cytosine dimer is first unprotonated and then dissociated into two cytosine monomers. In addition, the force for detaching a C-C＋ base pair was found to be inversely proportional to the distance between the two cytosine monomers. These results provide a microscopic mechanism to qualitatively explain the experimentally observed reversible formation and dissociation of i-motifs.展开更多

文摘Formation and dissociation mechanisms of C-C＋ base pairs in acidic and alkaline environments are investigated, employing ab initio quantum chemical calculations. Our calculations suggest that, in an acidic environment, a cytosine monomer is first protonated and then dimerized with an unprotonated cytosine monomer to form a C-C＋ base pair; in an alkaline environment, a protonated cytosine dimer is first unprotonated and then dissociated into two cytosine monomers. In addition, the force for detaching a C-C＋ base pair was found to be inversely proportional to the distance between the two cytosine monomers.

Four stable structures are identified for the protonated form of n-butane, the energy increases in the following order： C2HC3〈C1HC2〈C2HH〈C1HH, and the stability decreases in the following order C2HC3〉C1HC2〉C2HH〉C1HH. The stability of the penta-coordinated carbonium ions may be explained by the electron distribution in the three-center-two-electron bonds. The delocalization of the penta-coordinated carbonium ion CHC with three-center-two-electron bonds on positive charges was stronger than that of the penta-coordinated earbonium ion CHH with three-center-two-electron bonds and its stability was higher than that of the penta-coordinated carbonium ion CHH with three-center-two-electron bonds.

文摘{[Cu^Ⅱ（Hpb）（mal）]H=O}n （Hpb=2-2＇-pyridylbenzimidazole, mal=maleic acid） is a helical chain-like polymer complex. In order to investigate the electronic structure of the complex, the monomer Cu^Ⅱ（Hpb）（mal） was obturated with different functional groups respectively. For these selective segments, the geometry optimizations were conducted by using hybrid DFT （B3LYP）methods to find that the structure obturated with H2O was better consistent with the experiment, and then this model would be used to latter calculations, such as the frontier molecular orbital and the NBO charge population analysis. In addition the magnetic behaviors of this complex were analyzed by experiments and the weak antiferromagnetic couple between copper（Ⅱ） ions was observed. The exchange coupling constant was calculated by DFT based on the spin broken symmetry formalism. The calculated coupling constants were in good agreement with the experimental data.
文摘A quantitative interpretation of mass spectra of complex organic compounds so far is notvery perfect and needs some further investigation. In this paper a mechanism of cleft-rate-determining-steps of aromatic conjugated polyenic acid, methyl benzoate, methyl phenyl ketone,benzonitrile and aniline is proposed, and various quantum parameters of molecular ions ofaromatic conjugated polyenic compounds, together with their framents are calculated bymeans of CNDO/2 method. Through the process of calculation, the peak-height of mass spectracan be quantitatively interpreted, which means that the main factors which influence the cleftforms of simple cleavage of mass spectra of conjugated compounds given by the authorsmight be true to some extent.

文摘1N-Acetyl-3-（2,4-dichloro-5-fluoro-phenyl）-5-（p-methyl-phenyl）-2-pyrazoline has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-Vis and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. Ab intio calculations have been carded out for the compound by using both B3LYP and HF methods at the 6-31G^＊ basis set. The calculated results show that the predicted geometry can well reproduce the structural parameters. The electronic absorption spectra calculated by B3LYP/6-31G^＊ method are approximate to the experiments and the Natural Bond Orbital （NBO） analyses suggest that the above electronic transitions are mainly assigned to n→π^＊ and π→π^＊ transitions. CIS-HF/6-31G^＊ method is not suitable to predict the electronic spectra for the title compound. The calculation of the second order optical nonlinearity was carded out, giving the value of molecular hyperpolarizability equal to 2.194^＋ 10^-30 esu. On the basis of vibrational analyses, the thermodynamic properties of the compound at different temperature have been calculated, revealing the correlation between C p, m^0, S m^0, H m^0 and temperature.

文摘Four new sesquiterpenoids(1-4), including the first reported instance of a novel 2,3-seco oplopane carbon skeleton(1), together with 19 known analogues, were isolated from the flower buds of Tussilago farfara(coltsfoot). The challenging determination of relative and absolute configurations—particularly in flexible side chains and substituents—was achieved for the first time through an integrated approach combining spectroscopic analyses, chemical derivatization, chiral gas chromatography(GC), and quantum chemical calculations. All compounds were evaluated for anti-diabetic activity using an insulin-stimulated glucose uptake model in C2C12 myotubes and for anti-inflammatory activity via a lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced nitric oxide(NO) inhibition assay in RAW264.7 macrophages. Six compounds significantly enhanced glucose uptake, and mechanistic investigation of compound 3 revealed activation of the insulin receptor substrate 1(IRS-1)/protein kinase B(Akt)/glycogen synthase kinase 3β(GSK-3β) signaling pathway. Twenty-one compounds exhibited marked inhibition of NO production;among them, compounds 2 and 6 dose-dependently suppressed inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS) expression and nuclear factor κB(NF-κB) phosphorylation.

文摘Investigating the structures and properties of Au-Ge mixed clusters can give insight into the microscopic mechanisms in gold-catalyzed Ge films and can also provide valuable information for the production of germanium-based functional materials. In this work, size-selected anion photoelectron spectroscopy and theoretical calculations were used to explore the structural evolution and electronic properties of Au2Gen^-/0 (n=1-8) clusters. It is found that the two Au atoms in Au2Gen^-/0 (n=1-8) showed high coordination numbers and weak aurophilic interactions. The global minima of Au2Gen- anions and Au2Gen neutrals are in spin doublet and singlet states, respectively. Au2Gen- anions and Au2Gen neutrals showed similar structural features, except for Au2Ge4^-/0 and Au2Ge5^-/0. The C2v symmetric V-shaped structure is observed for Au2Ge1^-/0, while Au2Ge2^-/0 has a C2v symmetric dibridged structure. Au2Ge3^-/0 can be viewed as the two Au atoms attached to different Ge-Ge bonds of Ge3 triangle. Au2Ge4- has two Au atoms edge-capping Ge4 tetrahedron, while Au2Ge4 neutral adopts a C2v symmetric double Au atoms face-capping Ge4 rhombus. Au2Ge5-8^-/0 show triangular, tetragonal, and pentagonal prism-based geometries. Au2Ge6 adopts a C2v symmetric tetragonal prism structure and exhibits σ plus π double bonding characters.

文摘The escalating challenge of phosphorus pollution demands innovative solutions for efficient phosphate removal and recovery.Herein,a three-dimensional heterostructured C-ZIF@LDH/CF anode was constructed for capacitive deionization(CDI)by in-situ growing NiCo-layered double hydroxide(LDH)nanoflowers on a carbonized Co-ZIF-L framework anchored onto carbon fiber cloth(CF).This architecture synergistically integrates hierarchical porosity,dual-mode capacitive mechanisms of electrical doublelayer and Faradaic pseudocapacitance,and robust interracial charge transfer pathways.Comprehensive physicochemical characterizations validated the morphological evolution and synergistic valence modulation of metallic species.Electrochemical evaluations revealed outstanding phosphate removal performance,achieving a record adsorption capacity of 34.96 cmp/g in 50 mg_P/L solution,along with superior kinetic efficiency(0.21 mgp/g/min)in hybrid CDI(HCDI)operation.The heterojunction design ensures 95.71%capacity retention over 50 cycles and exceptional selectivity against competing anions.Molecular dynamics(MD)simulations further validate the confinement effect of LDH layers,demonstrating preferential phosphate adsorption through hydrogen bonding and restricted ion mobility.Density functional theory(DFT)calculations elucidate that the ZIF-derived carbon framework enhances conductivity through Co-C hybridization,while simultaneously revealing a reduced work function and a significantly stronger phosphate adsorption energy compared to pristine NiCo-LDH,underpinning enhanced electron transfer and chemisorption.This work provides a paradigm for advanced CDI systems,bridging structural engineering with atomic-scale mechanistic insights to address water-energy-resource challenges.

文摘This study aims to identify the highly non-specific toxic by-products during ozonation of three cresols in wastewater.In ozonated effluents,biotoxicity increased along with increasing reaction time,followed by a gradual decrease.The peak biotoxicity for ozonated o-cresol(o-C),m-cresol(m-C),and p-cresol(p-C)was estimated to be 17.4,14.8 and 5.5 times higher than that of untreated wastewater,respectively.A redox-directed approach with high-resolution mass spectrometry detection and toxicity prediction revealed that monomeric para-benzoquinones(p-BQs),hydroxylated p-BQs,and dimeric p-BQs in ozonated cresols were the primary contributors to the increased toxicity.Calculations based on density functional theory indicated formation pathways of p-BQs byproducts,e.g.,the formation of 2-methyl-p-benzoquinone was likely induced by ozone molecules rather than hydroxyl radicals in ozonated o-C and m-C,and the formation of p-BQs during ozonation of p-C was attributed to the oxidation of methyl group to carboxyl group and subsequent decarboxylation initiated by hydroxyl radicals.Electron paramagnetic resonance and spin density calculation showed that the presence of carbon-centered cresoxyl radicals was responsible for dimeric p-BQs formation.Collectively,these results underscore significant contribution of non-halogenated p-BQs to non-specific toxicity increase in ozonated effluents.

文摘A series of heteronuclear yttrium-nickel monoxide carbonyl complexes YNiO(CO)_(n)^(-)(n=1-5)were generated in a pulsed-laser vaporization source and characterized by mass-selected photoelectron velocity-map spectroscopy combined with theoretical calculations.CO ligand-mediated reactivity in CO oxidation of yttrium-nickel monoxide carbonyl complexes was experimentally and theoretically identified.During the consecutive CO adsorption,aμ^(2)-O linear structure was most favorable for YNiO(CO)_(n)^(-)(n=1,2),then a structure in which the terminal O was bonded to the Y atom became favored for YNiO(CO)_(3)^(-),and finally a structure bearing a CO_(2)moiety was most favorable for YNiO(CO)_(n)^(-)(n=4,5).Theoretical calculations indicated that the Ni atom acted as an electron acceptor and accumulated electron density at n≤3,and then served as an electron donor along with the Y atom to contribute electron density in the rearrangement that accompanied CO oxidation at n>3.

文摘The oversupply of diesel in China necessitates efficient separation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from fluidized catalytic cracking diesel for value-added utilization.However,purification is hindered by alkane and monocyclic aromatic interference.In this work,we propose a solvent-screening strategy for extractive distillation based on molecular polarity and interaction energy analysis.Quantum chemical calculations identified ethylene glycol(aromatic solubility) and N,N-dimethylformamide(alkane selectivity) as optimal solvents,with weak hydrogen bonds(e.g.,O-H…π,C-H…π) governing aromatic interactions.Two process designs were developed:(1) solvent extraction followed by primary extractive distillation(purity >95.0%(mass)) and(2) direct two-stage extractive distillation(purity>92.0%(mass)).This work provides a flexible framework for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon separation tailored to market demands while elucidating solvent-solute interactions at the molecular level.
