Preparation and analysis of photochromic behavior of carboxymethyl chitin derivatives containing spiropyran moieties.

1'-(2-Acryloxyethyl)-3,3'-dimethyl-6-nitrospiro[2 -1-benzopyran-2,2'-indoline] (SPA) was synthesized and grafted onto a water-soluble carboxymethyl chitin (CMCH) macromolecule to prepare a photochromic copolymer (CMCH-g-SPA). The structure of CMCH-g-SPA was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric (TG) analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, water-solubility evaluation, and UV-vis spectroscopy. XRD patterns of CMCH-g-SPA revealed that grafting copolymerization disrupts the CMCH semicrystalline structure, thus improving water solubility.

Honatisine, a novel diterpenoid alkaloid, and six known alkaloids from Delphinium honanense and their cytotoxic activity.

A novel diterpene alkaloid named honatisine (1) has been isolated from the whole plants of Delphinium honanense, along with six known alkaloids, siwanine E (2), isoatisine (3), atisine (4), delcorinine (5), uraphine (6), and nordhagenine A (7). Their structures were deduced on the basis of their spectral data. All of them were evaluated by a SRB assay for their cytotoxicity, and compound 1 showed a significant cytotoxic activity (IC(50) =3.

Diterpenoid alkaloids from a Tibetan medicinal plant var. and their cytotoxic activity.

The chemical constituents from var. were investigated. The roots of this plant were extracted three times with 90% EtOH at the room temperature.

[Transport kinetics of Pb(II) through bulk liquid membrane using PC-88A as carrier].

The effects of stirring speed, carrier concentration and reaction temperature on the transport of Pb(II) ion through bulk liquid membrane were studied with chloroform as membrane solvent and 2-ethylhexyl phosphonic acid-mono-2-ethylhexylester as carrier. The Pb(II) ions concentrations of feed phase and stripping phase were assayed by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The kinetic parameters, including apparent rate constants of Pb(II) ion extraction and re-extraction reactions, the maximum concentration of Pb(II) ion in the liquid membrane, the time of the maximum value of maximum concentration of Pb(II) ion in the liquid membrane and the maximum entry and exit fluxes of Pb(II) ion through the liquid membrane of the extraction and stripping reactions, were evaluated.

A new norditerpenoid alkaloid from Aconitum taipaicum.

To investigate the chemical constituents of the roots of Aconitum taipaicum, silica gel column chromatography was used for the isolation and purification of compounds. A new norditerpenoid alkaloid, isodelelatine (1), along with five known alkaloids, atisine (2), delfissinol (3), liangshanine (4), hypaconitine (5) and delelatine (6) were isolated and identified. The structure of the new compound was elucidated on the basis of spectral data.

[Studies on preparation of CdS/TiO2/float pearls coupled photocatalyst and degradation of beta-cypermethrin].

The coupled photocatalyst of CdS/TiO2/float pearls was prepared by sol-gel-dipping method, and its structure characterization was carried out with SEM and XRD analysis. As a model reaction, the photocatalytic degradation of beta-cypermethrin (BEC) was investigated in CdS/TiO2/float pearls powder suspension irradiated by different light sources. The effects of influence factors on the photocatalytic activity were discussed for the prepared photocatalyst.

[Research development of catalytic-kinetic spectrophotometric determination of trace manganese].

A review of recent research progresses in the determination of trace amount of manganese with catalytic-kinetic spectrophotometric method is presented and discussed in the present paper. Firstly, by comparison it is showed that catalytic-kinetic spectrophotometry has more advantages than atomic absorption spectrophotometry and extraction-spectrophotometry for the determination of trace amounts of manganese. The review and discussion of the recent research developments in the catalytic discoloring spectrophotometry and catalytic coloring spectrophotometry for the determination of trace amounts of manganese are given respectively.

[A study on preparation and characteristic of RuO2/TiO2 coupled photocatalyst].

RuO2/TiQ2 coupled photocatalyst was prepared by sol-gel-dipping method. Being a model reaction, the photocatalytic degradation of direct fast black G was investigated in RuO2/TiO2 powder suspension irradiated by UV-lamp. The results showed that the addition of RuO2 to TiO2 greatly enhanced its photocatalytic activity, and the optimum dipped content of RuO2 was 0.
