以離子溶液催化醇與酸酐的之酯化反應

在酯化反應中,經由實驗結果,我們發現離子液體對於此反應有催化的效果。離子液體 是在室溫下呈現液態的離子化合物,將醇類與酸酐放入離子液體中有助於酯化反應的進行, 基於這個新的發現,我們開始尋找使用不同種類的離子液體做實驗,選出適當的離子液體, 並且測試離子液體在不同環境下的催化效果,以及適合的使用計量;更進一步,我們找出離 子液體在催化反應之後,將離子液體回收的方法:利用有機溶劑將離子液體和產物分層並萃 取出產物,把離子液體回收再利用,符合現代推動綠色化學的趨勢。接下來我們探討離子液 體對催化反應的擴展性與應用,先由不同結構的一級醇反應到醯胺鍵的生成,最後推展到合 成阿斯匹靈,實驗結果說明,用離子液體做催化劑,也可以成功的合成阿斯匹靈。 We have established for the first time that ionic liquids, which possess the property of Lewis acid, can facilitate acylation of alcohols with anhydrides to form esters with photo-excitation. With the initial finding, we then screen through different types of ionic liquids with varying counter anions, loading, and external light or heat sources to sort out the best reaction conditions. To gain insights into the working mechanism, the dynamic profile of the catalytic reaction was monitored by analyzing the reaction mixture by using ‘H NMR spectroscopy. The ionic liquids can be recovered by extractive separation from the acylation product, which meets the major theme of green chemistry. To extend the substrate scope and applications of the new catalytic process, different functional primary alcohols and amines were further examined. More importantly, we have utilized the new catalytic protocol for the acetylating of salicylic acid, leading to aspirin with high efficiency.

攀蜥,攀棲-由台北市內湖金面山區生態因子分析夜晚黃口攀蜥之停棲策略

For this research, the nocturnal perching habits of the lizard, Japalura Polygonata Xantbostona, were examined. Nighttime observations were made from July 2002 to March 2003 in the area along the mountain brook in the south valley of the King-Mien Mountain in Nei-Hu District. The study comprised a series of analysis with discussion of the lizard’s (Japalura Polygonata Xantbostona) perch based on the temperature of living environment and the manner of perch including the dissimilarity between male and female, adults and juvenile lizards in selecting their perch conditions. During the period of study 452 lizards were marked and examined. 163 were female, 168 were male, and 121 were young lizards. The study considered four particulars: (1) orientation, (2) angle, (3) manner of perch, and (4) height of the perch above ground. As for the orientation, most of the lizards chose to perch in an inward (towards the tree) and in an upward direction; the angle of perch was mainly within 1°~ 45° and slanted to 180°. Second, the manner of perch chosen by most of the lizards was holding the stem or trunk by arms. All four groups of lizards exhibited no difference in the orientation, angle and manner of perch. However, male lizards tended to perch at a greater height above ground than the female and juvenile lizards did. The study produced other findings as well: A tendency correlation curve was plotted showing that temperature related with the number of lizards taking perch, and from the curve the optimal temperature of the living environment was determined to be approximately within the range of 19° ~24°. Additionally, there was a relationship between temperature of living environment and the size of lizard and the number of lizards taking perch. A further positive relationship was observed between temperature and the height of perch above ground. Also, the study showed an apparent positive relationship between the temperature of sample living area and the snout-vent length(SVL) of the lizard. Finally, the Japalura Polygonata Xantbostona tended to take their nocturnal perches within a rather fixed home range. 本研究由2002 年7 月至2003 年3 月,於臺北市內湖區金面山南麓溪谷進行黃口攀蜥夜 晚停棲策略研究,以溫度和各項停棲行為進行來分析探討,包括黃口攀蜥的成幼蜥、雌雄蜥 停棲選擇上的差異。 研究期間,共標記到452 隻攀蜥,其中雌蜥163 隻、雄蜥168 隻、幼蜥121 隻。將停棲 的情況分為方向、角度、停棲型態、離地高度四項來分析,在方向上多以朝內、向上為主; 角度多以小角度的1°~45°及180°為主;在停棲型式多以環抱莖枝為主。進一步分析成幼蜥、 雌雄蜥不論在方向、角度、停棲型式的選擇上皆無差異。離地高度的部分則以成蜥及雄蜥的 停棲高度較高;以溫度分析黃口攀蜥的成幼蜥出現停棲隻次、停棲高度、出現停棲攀蜥體型 的相關性,溫度對出現停棲隻次可以做出趨勢相關曲線,估算攀蜥的停棲有一最適宜溫度範 圍約在19~24℃間;溫度與其停棲高度呈現正相關性;每次測得樣區溫度與出現停棲攀蜥平 均吻肛長有顯著的正相關。而黃口攀蜥夜晚婷棲時則會傾向於較固定的範圍內。

見微知「駐」-水珠律動與圓駐波

It is always fascinating to see water droplet’s dancing around on a Japanese teppanyaki hotplate surface. The water usually does not evaporate immediately, but form interesting shapes, dance around and follow by evaporation of gaseous water and disappear. In this experiment, we designed a very simple experimental set-up to observe the little water droplets dancing on a heated hotplate. A homemade stainless plate and a small heater attached to the plate, and a thermal couple was assembled. With this simple setup, we observed the variation of water droplet’s shape as a function of the hotplate temperatures. The temperature of the water droplets, the duration of the water on the hotplate, and the shape number were measured. The shape formation mechanism was proposed. We found when the water droplet was subject to high heat due to the contact of the surface and the hotplate, the abrupt evaporation of the water molecules and violent vibration cause the formation of the various shapes to reach thermal equilibrium; the number of the shapes and the oscillation can be described by Laplace’s equation,Using a high-speed camera, we found the higher the temperature of the water, the more variations of the water droplet shapes can be observed. In addition, at a certain temperature range, the number of the water shapes did not change, suggesting a similar phase transformation behavior on the shape formation. 緣起: 邂逅專題研究、水珠漫舞、剪輯影片,引起我們想更進一步揭開它的神秘面紗。 緣續: 了解熱平台上水滴大小的變化及水珠基本的形狀及變化律動。 緣繫: 進一步研究水珠多變的面貌,並探討水珠的大小、溫度、停滯時間及變化規律相關機制。 緣定: 糾纏在水珠圓舞曲中有如大珠小珠落玉盤的曼妙,其中埋藏了平均圓與能量量子化的律動。

稀子蕨的生殖策略探討

稀子蕨(Monachosorum henryi Christ)生長在台灣中海拔山區,是少數具有特殊生殖方式(不定芽)的蕨類。本研究對東眼山的稀子蕨族群進行物候調查,以了解其進行孢子繁殖及不定芽繁殖的過程,並試圖探討稀子蕨的不定芽是否可增加其族群對環境的適應性。研究結果顯示稀子蕨的孢子體及原葉體都無法在乾旱的環境下生存,常有大規模乾死的現象;而其不定芽則具有很強的耐旱性,無論是在季節普遍性及幼苖發育程度上,生殖芽都比孢子繁殖較佔優勢。而且其不定芽於旱季結束後,可迅速萌發,長出的孢子葉可隨之進行有性(孢子)及無性(不定芽)生殖,使其族群不至於在旱季中有地區性滅絕之虞。;Monachosorum henryi Christ , which exists in the middle elevations of the mountainous regions of Taiwan, is a fern with a special reproductive system seldom found in other ferns.This study investigates the phenology of Monachosorum henryi population in the Don Yang mountain region. Its purpose is to understand the sexual and asexual reproductive cycles of these ferns and to interpret whether or not the buds can increase the fitness of their population during the dry season.The results show that it is extremely difficult for the sporophyte and prothallus of Monachosorum henryi to survive in a drought. However, the buds have a much stronger drought endurance. According to this investigation, the adventitious buds of Monachosorum henryi are superior to the spores in seedling development in every season. Adventitious buds are able to germinate soon after the dry season as well as in any other season, and are able to grow spores and buds on their fronds enabling both a sexual and asexual way of proliferation. In this way the fern avoids a district extinction of their population.

結合奈米金粒與DNA適體的金黃色葡萄球菌快速檢測系統

金黃色葡萄球菌是生活中常見的病原菌之一,因其抗藥性日益嚴重,是大家所熟知的超級細菌。 目前醫院對此菌的檢測方式,從培養到獲得結果大約需要兩天,對許多感染此菌的重症患者是無法接受的醫療時間延誤。 有鑑於此,本研究利用創新的適體、光電及奈米技術發展一個可以快速偵檢金黃色葡萄球菌的系統。 適體為具有與抗體同樣分子辨識功能的寡核酸。我們利用DNA適體篩選技術,獲得能夠專一地辨識金黃色葡萄球菌的適體序列,進一步發展高敏感度細菌檢測系統,並測得靈敏度近個位數的金黃色葡萄球菌。本研究亦結合奈米金與共振光散射原理,以簡便的二極體雷射與偵測裝置,可快速判定檢測樣品中是否有金黃色葡萄球菌,大大縮短檢驗所需的時間。

極速骨牌-骨牌終端速度及鏈鎖反應機制之探討

本研究主要在探討骨牌脈波在傳遞時的速度變化,並比較在不同的骨牌和不同的排列方式下骨牌的終端速度有何種差異;同時也研究骨牌在鏈鎖反應下能量的放大現象。觀察後發現單列骨牌脈波在傳遞一段距離後,由於空氣阻力的影響,脈波將會達到一終端速度,此終端速度與骨牌高度成反比,而與骨牌質量平方成正比。骨牌的脈波傳遞在鏈鎖反應下仍有一終端速度,但大於單列之骨牌脈波速,且鏈鎖反應具有放大推力之功能。由我們的研究可預測一列物體傾倒時所花費時間和所能達到之終端速度,而鏈鎖反應可比擬為一雷射模型能量集中和釋放的機制,相信可利用骨牌儲存能量的機制應用於需迅速釋能的機械中 This research is mainly discussing the changing of velocity of a domino pulse, and comparing the terminal velocity of various kinds of dominos and arresting modules. Also we focus on the energy-enlarging fact of chain-reaction of domino series. We found that after running a distance, the pulse of a single-series domino will finally reach a terminal velocity by the friction force of air. The terminal velocity will inversely proportion to the height of a single domino, and will proportion to the square of mass of a single domino. During a chain-reaction, the pulse still has a terminal velocity, but it is higher than the terminal velocity of a single series domino .The chain-reaction has an ability to enlarge the original force, too. By the research, we are able to predict the time interval and the terminal velocity while a series of objects are falling. On the other hand, the chain reaction is similar with mechanism of energy concentration and emission of LASER. We also believe that this mechanism is able to explain and apply to those machines which need to release energy rapidly.
