    A new layered zincophosphate was synthesized under solvothermal conditions by employing racemic 1,2-diaminopropane as the structure-directing agent. The structure of the compound was solved by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. It crystallized in the monoclinic space group P21/c (No. 14) with a=1.047 0(3) nm, b=0.787 31(18) nm, c=0.662 68(16) nm, β=103.120(5)°, V=0.532 0(2) nm3 and Z=4. The structure is made up of anionic zincophosphate sheets stacked in an AAAA sequence. The individual sheet contains three- and four-membered rings and the infinite Zn-O-Zn chains can also be envisaged in the sheet. The charge-balancing diprotonated racemic 1,2-diaminopropane cations are sandwiched between the layers, whereas the inorganic layers are stabilized by strong H-bonds formed between the N atoms of the amine and the O atoms in the inorganic sheets.

    The adsorption of NO on [Co+Mg(Sr)]/ZSM-5 zeolites with different [Co+Mg(Sr)] contents was studied by means of FTIR spectroscopy. The dominant NO species adsorbed on [Co+Mg(Sr)]/ZSM-5 was found to be in a dinitrosyl form, as demonstrated by the IR bands at 1 813 and 1 896 cm-1. NO was adsorbed in a mononitrosyl form as shown in the region of 1 937-1 939 cm-1 as a minor species. Samples [Co+Mg(Sr)]/ZSM-5 showed a new band near 1 858 cm-1(w) attributable to the species of Co3O4-NO. It was found that zeolite [Co+Mg(Sr)]/ZSM-5 exhibits superior performance characteristics for SCR of NO molecules, and is promising as a useful catalyst. The typical catalyst [Co+Mg(Sr)]/ZSM-5 for SCR resulted from the collaboration of the metal alkalinity and the ionic radius of the metal(such as Mg or Sr).

    MtDNA was successfully extracted from ten individual bones (femurs) in the tombs of ancient Jushi in Turfan basin, dated back to the year about 3 000-2 500 years ago. By means of four overlapping primers, we got nucleotide sequence of the 218bp length. Ancient mtDNA was analyzed by the sequencing of hypervariable region Ⅰ of the mtDNA control region. The result shows that 9 haplotypes with 24 polymorphic sites were obtained. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that Mongolians and Altai are the population genetically closest to the Jushi groups and Jushi mtDNA pool being an admixture of eastern Asian and European lineages. So our preliminary data imply that an ancient mingling of Euro-Asian population had existed in Turfan basin prior to the early Iron Age.

    Hydrotalcite can act as a co-stabilizer with other main stabilizer for poly(vinyl chloride)(PVC). The thermal stability and fluid property of PVC filled with hydrotalcite surface-treated with titanate and silane were studied in this work. Organic Sn is a main stabilizer and hydrotalcite is a stabilizing assistant. The stability of the PVC resin mixed with organic Sn and hydrotalcite is better than that of the PVC resin mixed with organic Sn alone. It is shown that the PVC resin filled with hydrotalcite possesses a better static and dynamic heat stability. Moreover, hydrotalcite can improve the fluid property of PVC, which is advantageous to the processing of PVC, and the optimum content of hydrotalcite is about 1%-2%(mass fraction).

    The effect of Cd ions on salmon sperm DNA was studied by means of circular dichroism(CD), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and fluorescence spectroscopy. The CD spectral and fluorescent probe-acriflavine results indicate that the DNA underwent a conformation change upon the addition of Cd ions. XPS and Raman studies reveal that there existed interactions between Cd ions and the phosphate groups of the DNA. In addition, a new band appeared at 803 cm-1in the Raman spectra, which can be attributed to characterizing "marker" band of A-DNA. It is concluded that Cd ions can be coordinated by the phosphate groups of the DNA and induce the conformation changes of the DNA from B-DNA to A-DNA.

    The orientation and structural characterization of the ultrathin film of azobenzene-containing amphiphilic compound, C12AzoNaph(1,4)C6N+Br-, were studied in the present study. The compound can form a stable monolayer with sodium dextrin sulfate(SDS) by means of electrostatic interaction. Fourier-transform infrared(FT-IR) and near-infrared surface-enhanced Raman scattering(NIR-SERS) spectroscopies were used to study the orientation and characterize the structure of the Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) film and the dipping film. The FT-IR spectra indicate that the alkyl tail is nearly perpendicular to the substrate surface without any aggregation and adopts largely trans-zigzag conformation in the LB film. The NIR-SERS spectra demonstrate that the chromorphoric part in C12AzoNaph(1,4)C6N+Br is also nearly perpendicular to the surface of silver substrate both in the dipping film and the LB film. A new "sandwiched system" model was designed to investigate the orientation and structural characterization of the chromophoric part in the multi-monolayer LB films on the non-SERS active substrate. The SERS mechanism of the "sandwiched system" is discussed in the present paper.

    The microencapsulation of the extractant was studied by drying-in-liquid with a [(O/W)/O]/W multi-emulsion. The microcapsules were characterized by the release efficiency of the extractants to discuss the effect of Tween 60, gelatin, and EC on the experimental results. The size dispersity of microcapsules with the different concentrations of gelatin was also discussed. The results show that microcapsules with good membrane tension for several extractants can be obtained with this method.

    Two amphiphilic barbituric acid derivatives with a D-π-A structure, 5-(4-dodecyloxybenzylidene)-(1H,3H)-2,4,6-pyrimidinetrione(PB12) and 5-(4-N,N-didodecylaminobenzylidene)-(1H,3H)-2,4,6-pyrimidintrione(AB12) were found to show different aggregation behavior in chloroform. PB12, a derivative with weak electron donating and strong electron drawing substituents, tends to aggregate in a head-to-tail manner, whereas AB12, a derivative with both strong electron donating and drawing substituents, tends to aggregate in a face-to-face manner at a higher concentration. The cyclic voltammograms of AB12 and PB12 show that their energy levels of LUMO approach each other, however, the energy level of HOMO of AB12 is much higher than that of PB12.

    The ESR spectra of catalyst V2O5/γ-Al2O3 and its activity for the dehydrogenation of isobutane were investigated. On the basis of the results of the ESR spectroscopy associated with the TPR results, it is suggested that there is a strong interaction between V2O5 and γ-Al2O3 and the V4+ species on the surface is the active center of catalyst V2O5/γ-Al2O3 for this reaction.

    Ten kinds of activated carbon from different raw materials were used as supports to prepare ruthenium catalysts. N2 physisorption and CO chemisorption were carried out to investigate the pore size distribution and the ruthenium dispersion of the catalysts. It was found that the Ru dispersion of the catalyst was closely related to not only the texture of carbon support but also the purity of activated carbon. The activities of a series of the carbon-supported barium-promoted Ru catalysts for ammonia synthesis were measured at 425 ℃, 10.0 MPa and 10 000 h-1. The result shows that the same raw material activated carbon, with a high purity, high surface area, large pore volume and reasonable pore size distribution might disperse ruthenium and promoter sufficiently, which activated carbon as support, could be used to manufacture ruthenium catalyst with a high activity for ammonia synthesis. The different raw material activated carbon as the support would greatly influence the catalytic properties of the ruthenium catalyst for ammonia synthesis. For example, with coconut shell carbon(AC1) as the support, the ammonia concentration in the effluent was 13.17% over 4%Ru-BaO/AC1 catalyst, while with the desulfurized coal carbon(AC10) as the support, that in the effluent was only 1.37% over 4%Ru-BaO/AC10 catalyst.

    The radial basis function networks were applied to bacterial classification based on the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometric (MALDI-TOF-MS) data. The classification of bacteria cultured at different time was discussed and the effect of the network parameters on the classification was investigated. The cross-validation method was used to test the trained networks. The correctness of the classification of different bacteria investigated changes in a wide range from 61.5% to 92.8%. Owing to the complexity of biological effects in bacterial growth, the more rigid control of bacterial culture conditions seems to be a critical factor for improving the rate of correctness for bacterial classification.

    Amphiphilic magnetic microspheres consisting of styrene and poly(ethylene oxide) macromonomer(MPEO) were prepared by dispersion copolymerization in the presence of Fe3O4 magnetic fluid in an ethanol/water medium. The sizes of the magnetic microspheres and their distribution were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The surface morphology and the average surface roughness of the microspheres were investigated by virtue of atomic force microscopy(AFM). It was found that the microspheres exhibit microscopic phase-separate and the mean square surface roughness of the microspheres increases with increasing MPEO used in the copolymerization. The amphiphilic magnetic microspheres containing 0.4-3.5 mg/g hydroxyl groups could be prepared from MPEO with different concentrations and styrene.

    Polynorbornenes were synthesized in the presence of an iron based catalyst, 2,6-bis[1-(2,6-diisopropyl-phenylimino)ethyl]pyridine iron(Ⅱ) dichloride. The FTIR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR analysis results revealed that the structure of the obtained polynorbornenes consisted of vinyl addition polymer substructures without any ring-opening structures. The polymers were amorphous with a short-range order, displayed in the WAXD(wide angle X-ray diffraction) diagrams. The glass transition temperatures ranged from 200 to 400 ℃. The effects of the polymerization reaction conditions, such as Al/Fe molar ratio and toluene/CH2Cl2 volume ratio, on the activity, intrinsic viscosity [η] and Tg were also studied.

    The present paper deals with agrochemicals. The low toxicities to mammals and wild lives, greater selectivity against target organisms, and high levels of activity are particular features of many modern agrochemicals. It is suggested that integrated pest management(IPM), by means of a combination of biological and chemical controls has met with some success and the present approach is to optimize the use of chemicals rather than to eliminate them.
