1.5 L 교반 탱크반응조에서 이미 그 특성 이 밝혀진 TNT 분해세균인 Stenorophomonas maltophilia의 배양을 이용하여 dinitrotoluenes (DNTs) [2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT), 2,6-dinitrotoluene (2,6-DNT)]를 호기적 조건하에서 미생물학적으로 제거하는 시험을 하였다. 2,4-DNT와 2,6-DNT는 각각 10일과 14일의 배양기간 중에 완전히 분해되었다. 이차 탄소는 DNT리 분해에 필수적이었으며 이차 탄소가 없는 상태에서는 거의 분해되지 않았다. DNTs의 분해에 이차 탄소가 미치는 효과에 대하여 조사하였다. 이차 질소원이 없는 상태에서 DNTs는 완전히 분해되었으나 이차 탄소원이 첨가된 배지에서는 부분적으로 분해되었다. HPLC와 GC-MS가 잔존 DNTs와 중간대사산물을 확인하기 위하여 사용되었다. 그 결과, HPLC와 GC-MS chromatograms은 대상 화합물인 2,4-DNT와 2,6-DNT, 그리고 각각의 중간대사산물인 2-amino-4-nitrotoluene과 2-amino-6-nitrotoluene을 성공적으로 확인할 수 있었다.

Biomolecules specific to explosives can be exploited as chemical sensors. Peptides specific to immobilized dinitrotoluene (DNT) were identified using a phage display library. A derivative of DNT that contained an extended amine group, 4-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)butan-1-amine, was synthesized and immobilized using a self-assembled monolayer surface on gold. Filamentous M13 phages displaying random sequences of 12-mer peptides specific to the immobilized DNT-derivate were isolated from the M13 phage library by biopanning. A common peptide sequence was identified from the isolated phages and the synthesized peptides showed selective binding to DNT. When the peptide was immobilized on a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) chip, it showed a binding signal to DNT, while toluene barely showed significant binding to the QCM chip. These results demonstrate that peptides screened by biopanning against immobilized DNT can be useful for quick and accurate detection of DNT.

Single-chain variable fragments of antibodies (scFv) specific to 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT) were isolated from a phage library displaying synthetic human scFv fragments with 6 diversified complementary determining regions (CDRs). A DNT derivative that contained an extended amine group was synthesized and conjugated to the NHS-group that was linked to magnetic beads. Phages specific to the immobilized DNT derivatives were isolated from the library after 4 rounds of sequential binding and elution processes. The displayed scFv fragments from the isolated phages showed consensus CDR sequences. One DNT-specific scFv was expressed in E. coli and purified using Ni-affinity chromatography. The purified DNT-specific scFv binds specifically to the immobilized DNT-derivative with $K_D$ value of $6.0{\times}10^{-7}$ M. The scFv and DNT interaction was not disrupted by the addition of 4-nitrotoluene or benzoic acid. These data demonstrate that the screened scFv from the phage displayed library could be used for selective and sensitive detection of explosives such as TNT.

The mass change during the molecular interaction between explosive specific bio-receptors and target molecules has been measured using quartz crystal microbalance(QCM), which has a mass change detection limit up to ~ng/$cm^2$. The environmental effect on the molecular interaction has been evaluated. In the liquid phase molecular interaction experiments, the high selectivity of the bio-receptor to DNT compared with toluene has been shown and the sensitivity for various concentrations of DNT has been demonstrated.

본 연구는 Pd/$SiO_2$ 촉매를 이용하여 2,4-dinitrotoluene(2,4-DNT)을 2,4-toluene diisocyanate(2,4-TDI)로 환원시키는 반응에 관한 연구이다. 반응 조건은 $200^{\circ}C$에서, 일산화탄소를 주입하여 100 bar에서 실험을 진행하였으며, 피리딘이 TDI의 수율에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구 하였다. 반응 실험 결과 피리딘을 넣지 않은 경우 TDI는 생성되지 않았고, 피리딘을 첨가하면 TDI가 생성되었다. 직접 카보닐화를 이용한 균질계상에서의 TDI 합성 연구 결과에 의하면 팔라듐과 피리딘의 착이온이 형성되어 촉매작용을 하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 피리딘을 첨가하였을 경우 TDI가 합성되는 것이 팔라듐 용출에 의한 것인지 확인하기 위해 ICP-AES 분석을 시행하였다. 20 vol% 피리딘을 첨가한 반응에서 반응 후 촉매의 팔라듐 함량이 반응 전에 비해 52% 감소하였다. 이러한 결과는 피리딘을 첨가한 반응실험에서 용출된 팔라듐이 피리딘과 착이온을 형성하는 과정을 거쳐 TDI가 생성되는 것으로 설명될 수 있다.

Eight representative explosives (ammonium perchlorate (AP), ammonium nitrate (AN), trinitrotoluene (TNT), 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT), cyclonite (RDX), cyclotetramethylenetetranitramine (HMX), pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), and hexanitrostilbene (HNS)) were comprehensively analyzed with an ion trap mass spectrometer in negative ion mode using direct infusion electrospray ionization. MS/MS experiments were performed to generate fragment ions from the major parent ion of each explosive. Explosives in salt forms such as AP or AN provided cluster parent ions with their own anions. Explosives with an aromatic ring were observed as either $[M-H]^-$ for TNT and DNT or $[M]^{{\cdot}-}$ for HNS, while explosives without an aromatic ring such as RDX, HMX, and PETN were detected as an adduct ion with a formate anion, i.e., $[M+HCOO]^-$. These findings provide a guideline for the rapid and accurate detection of explosives once portable MS instruments become more readily available.

Synthesis and characterization of alkyl-capped nanocrystalline silicon (R-n-Si) have been achieved from the reaction of silicontetrachloride with magnesiumsilicide. Surface of silicon nanocrystal has been derivatized with various alkyl groups (R=methyl, n-butyl, etc.). Silicon nanoparticles have been also obtained by the sonication of luminescent porous silicon. Former exhibits an emission band at 360 nm, but latter exhibits an emission band at 680 nm. In this study very sensitive detection of TNT (2,4,6-trinitrotoluene), DNT (2,4-dinitrotoluene), NB (nitrobenzene), and PA (picric acid) has been achieved in gas phase with porous silicon using photoluminescence quenching of the silicon crystallites as a transduction mode. Porous silicon are electrochemically etched from crystalline silicon wafers in an aqueous solution of hydrofluoric acid. We have characterized these silicon nanoparticles by Luminescence Spectrometer (LS 55).

Two tert-butyl substituted phthalocyanines(Pcs), in metal-free and metallated forms, were synthesized and the fluorescence responses toward various nitro derivatives, including picric acid(PA), 2,4-dinitrotoluene(DNT), 1,4-dinitrobenzene(DNB), 4-nitrotoluene(NT), nitrobenzene(NB), 1,4-benzoquinone(BQ), and nitromethane(NM) were investigated. Among the various nitro derivatives, current Pc derivatives exhibited efficient and exclusive fluorescence quenching in the presence of picric acid, which was readily observed by a naked eye. Quenching efficiency was estimated by the Stern-Volmer relationship, in which quenching constant, KSV, was calculated to be in the range of $10^4M^{-1}$. It was also found out that the aggregational behaviors of these Pcs are heavily dependent on the nature of solvent systems, subsequently affecting the quenching efficiency.

A simple and rapid method is described for detecting nitroaromatic explosives in air or seawater with the use of photoluminescent organosilicon compounds. The synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, and fluorescence quenching efficiency of silafluorenes are reported. Silafluorenes were synthesized from the reduction of dilithiobiphenyl with dichlorosilanes. Two silafluorenes were used for the detection of nitroaromatic compounds. Detection of nitroaromatic molecules, such as 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT), 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), and picric acid (PA), has been explored. A linear Stern-Volmer relationship was observed for the first three analytes. Fluorescence spectra of silafluorenes obtained in either toluene solutions or thin films displayed no shift in the maximum of the emission wavelength. The photoluminescence quenching occurs by a static mechanism.
