Vibrationally excited products of CHClO, NO, CO, and HCl are observed in the high-resolution IR emission spectra and three possible reaction channels are therefore elucidated. In particular, the product CO is newly detected and the product HCl is identified explicitly as a yield from the CHCl2＋NO2 reaction, taking advantage of the sensitive detection of HCl and CO with TR-FTIR. These results are of particular interests to understand the related realistic chemical processes including atmospheric photochemistry, biofuel combustion, waste destruction, and smoking fire.展开更多

Quorum sensing （QS） systems play a marked role in the regulation of microbial biofilm formation; thus, inhibition of QS systems may provide a promising approach to biofilm formation control in DWDS. In the present study, 22 bacterial strains were isolated from drinking water-related environments. The following properties of the strains were investigated： bacterial biofilm formation capacity, QS signal molecule N-acyl-L-homoserine lactones （AHLs） production ability, and responses to AHLs and AHL analogs, 3-chloro-4-（dichloromethyl）-5-hydroxy-2（5H）- furanone （MX） and 2（5H）-furanone. Four AHLs were added to developed biofilms at dosages ranging from 0.1 nmol.L J to 100nmol.L1. As a result, the biofilm growth of more than 1/4 of the isolates, which included AHL producers and non-producers, were significantly promoted. Further, the biofilm biomasses were closely associated with respective AHLs concentrations. These results provided evidence to support the idea that AHLs play a definitive role in biofilm formation in many of the studied bacteria. Meanwhile, two AHLs analogs demon- strated unexpectedly minimal negative effects on biofilm formation. This suggested that, in order to find an applicable QS inhibition approach for biofilm control in DWDS, the testing and analysis of more analogs is needed.展开更多

The diacyl chloride monomer was synthesized by simultaneous transformations of both the carboxy and formaldehyde groups of 2-formyl-1,4-bis (4'-carboxybenzoyl) oxybenzene into acyl chloride and dichloromethyl groups respectively. The syntheses of the monomer (I) and the polymers were reported.展开更多
