Abstract
The ultimate sensitivity of field-effect-transistor (FET)-based devices for ionic species detection is of great interest, given that such devices are capable of monitoring single-electron-level modulations. It is shown here, from both theoretical and experimental perspectives, that for such ultimate limits to be approached the thermodynamic as well as kinetic characteristics of the (FET surface)-(linker)-(ion-receptor) ensemble must be considered. The sensitivity was probed in terms of optimal packing of the ensemble, through a minimal charge state/capacitance point of view and atomic force microscopy. Through the fine-tuning of the linker and receptor interaction with the sensing surface, a record limit of detection as well as specificity in the femtomolar range, orders of magnitude better than previously obtained and in excellent accord with prediction, was observed.

Abstract
Although recovery of fibers from used textiles with retained material quality is desired, separation of individual components from polymer blends used in today's complex textile materials is currently not available at viable scale. Biotechnology could provide a solution to this pressing problem by enabling selective depolymerization of recyclable fibers of natural and synthetic origin, to isolate constituents or even recover monomers. We compiled experimental data for biocatalytic polymer degradation with a focus on synthetic polymers with hydrolysable links and calculated conversion rates to explore this path The analysis emphasizes that we urgently need major research efforts: beyond cellulose-based fibers, biotechnological-assisted depolymerization of plastics so far only works for polyethylene terephthalate, with degradation of a few other relevant synthetic polymer chains being reported. In contrast, by analyzing market data and emerging trends for synthetic fibers in the textile industry, in combination with numbers from used garment collection and sorting plants, it was shown that the use of difficult-to-recycle blended materials is rapidly growing. If the lack of recycling technology and production trend for fiber blends remains, a volume of more than 3400 Mt of waste will have been accumulated by 2030. This work highlights the urgent need to transform the textile industry from a biocatalytic perspective.

Abstract
Using desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) as part of an automated high-throughput system, tandem mass spectra of the compounds in a pharmaceutical library were recorded in the positive mode under standardized conditions. Quality control filtering yielded an MS/MS library of 16 662 spectra. Fragmentation of subsets of the compounds in the library chosen to contain a single instance of a particular functional group (amide, piperazine, sulfonamide) was predicted by experts, and the results were compared with the experimental data. Expert performance was good to excellent for all the cases evaluated. Substituents on the functional groups were found to exert important secondary control over the fragmentation, with the main effect observed being product ion stabilization by aromatic substitution, which was consistent across the different groups evaluated. These substituent effects are generally explicable in terms of standard physical organic chemistry considerations of product ion stability as controlling fragmentation. A somewhat unexpected feature was the incidence of homolytic cleavages, driven by the stability of substituted amine radical cations. The findings of this study are intended to lay the groundwork for machine learning approaches to performing MS/MS spectrum → structure and structure → MS/MS spectrum operations on the same experimental data set. The effort involved and the success achieved in computer-aided interpretation, now underway, will be compared with the expert performance as described here.

Abstract
A series of N-substituted polyether-block-amide (PEBA-X%) copolymers were prepared by melt polycondensation of nylon-6 prepolymer and polytetramethylene ether glycol at an elevated temperature using titanium isopropoxide as a catalyst. The structure, thermal properties, and crystallinity of PEBA-X% were investigated using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, wide angle X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis. In general, the crystallinity, melting point, and thermal degradation temperature of PEBA-X% decreased as the incorporation of N-methyl functionalized groups increased, owing to the disruption caused to the structural regularity of the copolymer. However, in N-acetyl functionalized analogues, the crystallinity first dropped and then increased because of a new γ form arrangement that developed in the microstructure. After the cross-linking reaction of the N-methyl-substituted derivative, which has electron-donating characteristics, with poly(4,4′-methylenebis(phenyl isocyanate), the decomposition temperature of the resulting polymer significantly increased, whereas no such improvements could be observed in the case of the electro-withdrawing N-acetyl-substituted derivative, because of the incompleteness of its cross-linking reaction.

Abstract
A catalyst system of mononuclear manganese precursor 3 combined with potassium alkoxide served as a superior catalyst compared with our previously reported manganese homodinuclear catalyst 2 a for esterification of not only tertiary aryl amides, but also tertiary aliphatic amides. On the basis of stoichiometric reactions of 3 and potassium alkoxide salt, kinetic studies, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we clarified a plausible reaction mechanism in which in situ generated manganese-potassium heterodinuclear species cooperatively activates the carbonyl moiety of the amide and the OH moiety of the alcohols. We also revealed details of the reaction mechanism of our previous manganese homodinuclear system 2 a, and we found that the activation free energy (ΔG≠ ) for the manganese-potassium heterodinuclear complex catalyzed esterification of amides is lower than that for the manganese homodinuclear system, which was consistent with the experimental results. We further applied our catalyst system to deprotect the acetyl moiety of primary and secondary amines.

Abstract
Amide C-N bonds are thermodynamically stable and their fission, such as by hydrolysis and alcoholysis, is considered a long-challenging organic reaction. In general, stoichiometric chemical transformations of amides into the corresponding esters and acids require harsh conditions, such as strong acids/bases at a high reaction temperature. Accordingly, the development of catalytic reactions that cleave not only primary and secondary amides, but also tertiary amides in mild conditions, is in high demand. Herein, we surveyed typical stoichiometric transformations of amides, and highlight our recent achievements in the catalytic esterification of amides using scandium, manganese, and zinc catalysts, together with some recent catalyst systems using late-transition metal reported by other groups.

Abstract
Time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) is a powerful technique for the nanoanalysis of biological samples, but improvements in sensitivity are needed in order to detect large biomolecules, such as peptides, on the individual cell level at physiological concentrations. Two promising options to improve the sensitivity of SIMS to large peptides are the use of cluster primary ions to increase desorption of intact molecules or the use of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) matrices to increase the ionization probability. In this paper, the authors have combined these two approaches in order to improve understanding of the interaction between ionization and fragmentation processes. The peptides bradykinin and melittin were prepared as neat monolayers on silicon, in a Dextran-40 matrix and in two common MALDI matrices, 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) and α-cyano-4-hydroxy cinnamic acid (HCCA). ToF-SIMS spectra of these samples were collected using a range of small Bi cluster primary ions and large Ar cluster primary ions. The trends observed in the molecular ion yield and the [M+H](+)/C4H8N(+) ratio with primary ion cluster size were sample system dependent. The molecular ion yield of the bradykinin was maximized by using 30 keV Bi3 (+) primary ions in a DHB matrix but in the HCCA matrix, the maximum molecular ion yield was obtained by using 30 keV Bi7 (+) primary ions. In contrast, the molecular ion yield for melittin in both matrices was greatest using 20 keV Ar2000 (+) primary ions. Improvements in the molecular ion yield were only loosely correlated with a decrease in small fragment ions. The data indicate a complex interplay between desorption processes and ion formation processes which mean that the optimal analytical conditions depend on both the target analyte and the matrix.

Abstract
In light of the importance of nanostructured surfaces for a variety of technological applications, the quest for simple and reliable preparation methods of ordered, nanometer ranged structures is ongoing. Herein, a versatile method to prepare ordered, non-close-packed arrangements of nanoparticles on centimeter sized surfaces by self-assembly is described using monodisperse (118-162 nm Ø), amino-functionalized silica nanoparticles as an exploratory example. It is shown that the arrangement of the particles is governed by the interplay between the electrostatic repulsion between the particles and the interaction between particles and surfaces. The latter is tuned by the properties of the particles such as their surface roughness as well as the chemistry of the linkage. Weak dispersive interactions between amino groups and gold surfaces are compared to a covalent amide linkage of the amino groups with carboxylic acid functionalized self-assembled monolayers. It was shown that the order of the former systems may suffer from capillary forces between particles during the drying process, while the covalently bonded systems do not. In turn, covalently bonded systems can be dried quickly, while the van der Waals bonded systems require a slow drying process to minimize aggregation. These highly ordered structures can be used as templates for the formation of a second, ordered, non-close-packed layer of nanoparticles exemplified for larger polystyrene particles (Ø 368 ± 14 nm), which highlights the prospect of this approach as a simple preparation method for ordered arrays of nanoparticles with tunable properties.

Abstract
Accurate thermochemical data for compounds containing C/H/N/O are required to underpin kinetics simulation and modeling of the reactions of these species in different environments. There is a dearth of experimental data so computational quantum chemistry has stepped in to fill this breach and to verify whether particular experiments are in need of revision. A number of composite model chemistries (CBS-QB3, CBS-APNO, G3, and G4) are used to compute theoretical atomization energies and hence enthalpies of formation at 0 and 298.15 K, and these are benchmarked against the best available compendium of values, the Active Thermochemical Tables or ATcT. In general the agreement is very good for some 28 species with the only discrepancy being for hydrazine. It is shown that, although individually the methods do not perform that well, collectively the mean unsigned error is <1.7 kJ mol(-1); hence, this approach provides a useful tool to screen published values and validate new experimental results. Using multiple model chemistries does have some drawbacks but can produce good results even for challenging molecules like HOON and CN2O2. The results for these smaller validated molecules are then used as anchors for determining the formation enthalpies of larger species such as methylated hydrazines and diazenes, five- and six-membered heterocyclics via carefully chosen isodesmic working reactions with the aim of resolving some discrepancies in the literature and establishing a properly validated database. This expanded database could be useful in testing the performance of computationally less-demanding density function methods with newer functionals that have the capacity to treat much larger systems than those tested here.

Explanation through density functional theory of the unanticipated loss of CO₂ and differences in mass fragmentation profiles of ritonavir and its rCYP3A4-mediated metabolites. JOURNAL OF MASS SPECTROMETRY : JMS 2014; 49:452-467. [PMID: 24913398 DOI: 10.1002/jms.3359] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2013] [Revised: 02/18/2014] [Accepted: 03/10/2014] [Indexed: 06/03/2023]
Abstract
In the present study, the metabolism of ritonavir was explored in the presence of rCYP3A4 using a well-established strategy involving liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) tools. A total of six metabolites were formed, of which two were new, not reported earlier as CYP3A4-mediated metabolites. During LC-MS studies, ritonavir was found to fragment through six principal pathways, many of which involved neutral loss of CO2, as indicated through 44-Da difference between masses of the precursors and the product ions. This was unusual as the drug and the precursors were devoid of a terminal carboxylic acid group. Apart from the neutral loss of CO2, marked differences were also observed among the fragmentation pathways of the drug and its metabolites having intact N-methyl moiety as compared to those lacking N-methyl moiety. These unusual fragmentation behaviours were successfully explained through energy distribution profiles by application of the density functional theory.
