A square-planar compound [Cu(pyrimol)Cl] (pyrimol = 4-methyl-2-N-(2-pyridylmethylene)aminophenolate) abbreviated as CuL-Cl) is described as a biomimetic model of the enzyme galactose oxidase (GOase). This copper(II) compound is capable of stoichiometric aerobic oxidation of activated primary alcohols in acetonitrile/water to the corresponding aldehydes. It can be obtained either from Hpyrimol (HL) or its reduced/hydrogenated form Hpyramol (4-methyl-2-N-(2-pyridylmethyl)aminophenol; H2L) readily converting to pyrimol (L−) on coordination to the copper(II) ion. Crystalline CuL-Cl and its bromide derivative exhibit a perfect square-planar geometry with Cu-O(phenolate) bond lengths of 1.944(2) and 1.938(2) Å. The cyclic voltammogram of CuL-Cl exhibits an irreversible anodic wave at +0.50 and +0.57 V versus ferrocene/ferrocenium (Fc/Fc+) in dry dichloromethane and acetonitrile, respectively, corresponding to oxidation of the phenolate ligand to the corresponding phenoxyl radical. In the strongly donating acetonitrile the oxidation path involves reversible solvent coordination at the Cu(II) centre. The presence of the dominant CuII-L chromophore in the electrochemically and chemically oxidised species is evident from a new fairly intense electronic absorption at 400-480 nm ascribed to a several electronic transitions having a mixed π → π∗(L) intraligand and Cu-Cl → L charge transfer character. The EPR signal of CuL-Cl disappears on oxidation due to strong intramolecular antiferromagnetic exchange coupling between the phenoxyl radical ligand (L) and the copper(II) centre, giving rise to a singlet ground state (S = 0). The key step in the mechanism of the primary alcohol oxidation by CuL-Cl is probably the α-hydrogen abstraction from the equatorially bound alcoholate by the phenoxyl moiety in the oxidised pyrimol ligand, Cu-L, through a five-membered cyclic transition state. 相似文献

Highly specific detection methods, capable of reliably identifying plant pathogens are crucial in plant disease management strategies to reduce losses in agriculture by preventing the spread of diseases. We describe a novel molecular inversion probe (MIP) assay that can be potentially developed into a robust multiplex platform to detect and identify plant pathogens. A MIP has been designed for the plant pathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. conglutinans and the proof of concept for the efficiency of this technology is provided. We demonstrate that this methodology can detect as little as 2.5 ng of pathogen DNA and is highly specific, being able to accurately differentiate Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. conglutinans from other fungal pathogens such as Botrytis cinerea and even pathogens of the same species such as Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici. The MIP assay was able to detect the presence of the pathogen in infected Arabidopsis thaliana plants as soon as the tissues contained minimal amounts of pathogen. MIP methods are intrinsically highly multiplexable and future development of specific MIPs could lead to the establishment of a diagnostic method that could potentially screen infected plants for hundreds of pathogens in a single assay. 相似文献

A high energy density supercapacitor device is reported that utilizes hybrid carbon electrodes and the ionic liquid, 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMIMBF4) as an electrolyte. The hybrid electrodes are prepared from reduced graphite oxide (rGO) and purified single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). A simple casting technique gives the hybrid structure with optimum porosity and functionality that provides high energy and power densities. The combination of SWCNTs and rGO in a weight ratio of 1:1 is found to afford a specific capacitance of 222 F g?1 and an energy density of 94 Wh kg?1 at room temperature. 相似文献

The interaction of a series of mixed ligand complexes of the type [Ru(NH3)4(diimine)]Cl2, where diimine=2,2′-bipyridine (bipy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), 5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (5,6-dmp), 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (4,7-dmp), 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (2,9-dmp), 3,4,7,8-tetra-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Me4phen), with calf thymus DNA has been studied using absorption, emission and circular dichroic spectral measurements and viscometry and electrochemical techniques. On interaction with DNA the complexes show hypochromism and red-shift in their MLCT band suggesting that the complexes bind to DNA. The magnitude of the binding constant (Kb) obtained from absorption spectral titration varies depending upon the nature of the diimine ligand: Me4phen > 5,6-dmp > 4,7-dmp > phen suggesting the use of diimine ‘face’ of the octahedral complexes in binding to DNA. The interaction of phen complex possibly involves phen ring partially inserted into the DNA base pairs. In contrast, the methyl-substituted phen complexes would involve hydrophobic interaction of the phen ring in the grooves of DNA, which is supported by hydrogen bonding interactions of the ammonia ligands with the intrastrand nucleobases. Also the shape and size of the phen ligand as modified by the methyl substituents determine the DNA binding site sizes (0.12-0.45 base pairs). The relative emission intensities (I/I0) of the DNA-bound complexes parallel the variation in Kb values. Almost all the metal complexes exhibit induced CD bands on binding to B DNA, with the 4,7-dmp and Me4phen complexes inducing certain structural modifications on the biopolymer. DNA melting curves obtained in the presence of metal complexes reveal a monophasic melting of the DNA strands, the Me4phen complex exhibiting a slightly enhanced tendency to stabilize the double-stranded DNA. There were slight to appreciable changes in the relative viscosities of DNA, which are consistent with enhanced hydrophobic interaction of the methyl-substituted phen rings. Upon interaction with CT DNA, the Me4phen, 4,7-dmp and 5,6-dmp complexes, in contrast to bipy, phen and 2,9-dmp complexes, show a decrease in anodic peak current in their cyclic voltammograms suggesting that they exhibit enhanced DNA binding. DNA cleavage experiments show that all the complexes induce cleavage of pBR322 plasmid DNA, the Me4phen and 5,6-dmp complexes being remarkably more efficient than other complexes. 相似文献

Extracts of the brown seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum have been used as a biostimulant to promote growth and productivity in a number of agricultural production systems. Although
the extracts have been shown to improve seedling emergence and vigor in a variety of plants, including barley, the mechanism(s)
of this growth-promoting effect is(are) largely unknown. In our study, A. nodosum extract induced amylase activity in barley seed-halves; a significant difference in amylase activity was observed in seeds
without an embryo. The addition of activated charcoal to the treatment media negated the bioactivity of the extracts suggesting
the organic nature of bioactive compounds in A. nodosum extracts. The extracts induced amylase activity in a gibberellic acid (GA)-deficient barley mutant (grd2). LC-MS-MS analysis failed to detect the presence of GA3 in the extracts. ABA supplementation of the medium caused a significant reduction of amylase activity in GA-treated seeds
compared with those treated with the A. nodosum extract. Taken together, our results suggest that the organic components of A. nodosum extract induce amylase activity independent of GA3 and might act in concert with GA-dependent amylase production leading to enhanced germination and seedling vigor in barley.
Being derived from a renewable resource, the bioactive compounds from A. nodosum could be used to improve crop productivity in sustainable agricultural systems. 相似文献
