  • Publication number: 20110031188
    Abstract: Humic derivatives are prepared and used to adhere to the surfaces of mineral media and other hydroxyl-carrying supports for cleaning the environment by selective sequestration of complex mixtures of contaminants possessing preferential affinity for natural or modified humic substances (HS). The sequestration of target components occurs as a result of their binding to dissolved humic derivatives that can be removed from the solution by adding any solid hydroxyl-carrying support (e.g., silica gel). Another method to sequester the target components from solution is their selective sorption onto humic derivatives immobilized onto solid support (e.g., silica gel). Yet another method involves using the humic derivatives to install a broad spectrum reactive barrier without excavation as an in situ passive remediation system.

  • Patent number: 7842823
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel class of fluorogenic probes for reactive oxygen species. Exemplary probes of the invention utilize a boronate deprotection mechanism to provide high selectivity and optical dynamic range for detecting H2O2 in aqueous solution over similar reactive oxygen species (ROS) including superoxide, nitric oxide, tert-butyl hydroperoxide, and hydroxyl radical; Peroxyresorufin-1 (PR1), Peroxyfluor-1 (PF1), and Peroxyxanthone-1 (PX1) are first-generation probes that respond to H2O2 by an increase in red, green, and blue fluorescence, respectively. The boronate dyes are cell-permeable and can detect micromolar changes in H2O2 concentrations in living cells, including hippocampal neurons, using confocal and two-photon microscopy. The unique combination of ROS selectivity, membrane permeability, and a range of available excitation/emission colors establishes the potential value of PR1, PF1, PX1, and related probes for interrogating the physiology and pathology of cellular H2O2.

  • Patent number: 7709635
    Abstract: One aspect of the present invention relates to “boronium” ions that are stable, hydrophobic, room-temperature ionic liquids. In certain embodiments, ionic liquids of the instant invention are represented by the formula [XnBY4?n]+(n?1)(n?1)Z?1, wherein X refers to a Lewis base, Y refers to a substituent covalently bonded to boron, Z?1 is a charge diffuse anion, and x is 2, 3 or 4. In certain embodiments, the ionic liquids of the instant invention are of the general type [X2BY2]+1Tf2N?1, wherein each X is independently a tertiary amine, a N-alkylimidazole or a pyridine; and each B—X bond is a B—N bond.

  • Publication number: 20100099866
    Abstract: An organosilicon compound having an amino group is provided. This compound is represented by the following general formula (1): wherein R1 and R2 respectively represent an unsubstituted or substituted aliphatic monovalent hydrocarbon group containing 1 to 10 carbon atoms with the proviso that the R1 and R2 may together form a ring with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded, and that R1 and R2 may contain a heteroatom; R3 and R4 independently represent an unsubstituted or substituted monovalent hydrocarbon group containing 1 to 10 carbon atoms; and n represents an integer of 0 to 2. Use of this compound enables production of a polymer product having excellent mechanical properties, high heat resistance, and high transparency. The solution of this compound is stable, and can be stored for a long time, and when used for a polymer modifying agent, it facilitates introduction of amino group and hydroxy group.
