Abstract:
Penicillin G acylase (PGA) was immobilized on the magnetic hydrophilic polymer microspheres with average pore size of 17.1 nm, specific surface area of 128.2 m2/g and saturate magnetization of 6.4 emu/g. The 96.7% ampicillin yield with 1.60 of the synthesis/hydrolysis (S/H) ratio from 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA) and D-(-)-alpha-phenylglycine methyl ester (D-PGME) can be achieved using the resultant magnetic biocatalyst in ethylene glycol, where only 82.1% yield with 1,40 of the S/H ratio was obtained using the free PGA under the identical reaction conditions. The immobilized PGA can be separated magnetically and recycled for five times without obvious loss of its catalytic activity.

Abstract:
The photochemical reaction of magnesium tetraphenyl porphyrin (MgTPP) with sulfur dioxide (SO2) was investigated in dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) by steady-state fluorescence, UV-vis absorption, MS, and XRD spectroscopic techniques. These spectra showed that under irradiation MgTPP reacted with SO2 to form 1:1 molecular adduct at first step. During the process of keeping irradiation and maintaining the flow of SO2, SO2 was reduced into S2- by MgTPP and the results were detected using MS and XRD techniques. Understanding the photochemical reaction of MgTPP with SO2 is of key interest in elucidating fundamental photochemical reaction mechanisms associated with this class of chlorophyll in the presence of SO2.

Abstract:
The building block of N-alkyl derivative of allosamidin (chitinase inhibitor), 4,6-O-benzylidene-N-octyl-D-allosamine hydro-chloride was stereoselectively synthesized in two steps under mild conditions.

Subsequent stereoselective reduction of newly formed C=O with NaBH4 produced title compound in 75% yield. X-ray diffraction analysis indicates the title compound adopts syn 1,2,3 stereochemistry and chair-chair conformation. The crystal structure is stabilized by hydrogen bonds.

Abstract:
Silver nanorods have been successfully synthesized in large scale by the ethylene glycol (EG) reduction in the presence of ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (bmimBF4) and polyvinyl-pyrrolidone (PVP).The silver nanorods were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM),high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM),transmission electron microscopy (TEM),electron energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS) and UV-vis spectroscopy.The results showed that the uniform silver nanorods have an average diameter of about 100 nm and the aspect ratio from 15 to 20.IL,bmimBF4 may play a role of capping agent together with PVP in the formation of silver nanorods.On the other hand,bmimBF4 may accelerate nucleation and improve the stability of the resulting Ag nanorods due to the low interface tension of IL.

Abstract:
Polypyrrole/polyvinylalcohol (PPy/PVA) foam was prepared by direct foam polymerization in water and then it was coated on the indium-tin oxide transparent conductive glass (ITO) to form conventional three-electrode cell.FTIR and UV-vis spectra were adopted to characterize the molecular structure and the absorption spectra of foam material,respectively.The porous structure of PPy/PVA foams and their photoelectric conversion behaviors were studied.The dimension of the pores is bigger than 100 μm in diameter.Compared with the smooth film,the Voc and Isc of the foam film enhanced by 1.58-fold and 5.59-fold,respectively.
