酯类基础油热氧化过程中的拉曼光谱分析

将DXR激光显微拉曼光谱仪与Linkam FTIR600控温台联用,测定了连续加热、恒温氧化过程中三羟甲基丙烷油酸酯(TMPTO)、偏苯三酸三异酸酯(TDTM)、己二酸二异辛酯(DOA)等酯类基础油的拉曼特征峰的变化规律,探讨了热氧化过程中酯类油分子结构的变化特点。研究发现,随着加热温度的提高,酯类基础油的部分拉曼峰的峰位与峰强均发生了明显变化;酯类基础油的甲基与亚甲基的C—H伸缩振动峰及亚甲基的剪式振动峰对温度很敏感,随着温度的升高发生了不同程度的峰强衰减,冷却后可基本恢复;C‖O振动峰随温度的升高变化不明显;TMPTO酯类基础油的C‖C双键伸缩振动峰随着温度升高逐渐向高波区移动冷却后可恢复,‖C—H和C‖C的伸缩振动峰强冷却后不能完全恢复;恒温下随着氧化时间的延长,TDTM和DOA基础油的拉曼峰无明显变化,与TMPTO基础油的‖C—H、C‖C及—CH2—相关的拉曼峰呈规律性衰减。因此可运用原位拉曼光谱法对不饱和酯类基础油中连续氧化进行监测。而原位光谱法对饱和酯类油和芳香酯类油高温连续氧化过程的监测具有一定的局限性。     

Raman spectroscopic and DSC studies of diglycine-perchlorate (DGPCl)

Single crystals of diglycine perchlorate (DGPCl) and deuterated diglycine perchlorate (DDGPCl) are synthesized and studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Raman spectroscopy. DSC data indicated that both DGPCl and DDGPCl undergo a reversible first-order phase transition (solid-solid) at −11.5 °C and −9.3 °C, respectively. The Raman spectra of DGPCl and DDGPCl obtained at ambient temperature are analyzed to infer on the strength of hydrogen bonding in this compound relative to the parent compounds. The occurrence of NH stretching frequency at higher value in DGPCl in comparison with glycine suggests presence of a weak N–H?O hydrogen bond in DGPCl than in glycine. The lower isotropic melting temperature of DGPCl as compared to that of glycine is understood on the basis of the relative strength of hydrogen bonding in these compounds.     

Effect of a bioactive curcumin derivative on DPPC membrane: A DSC and Raman spectroscopy study

Interactions of dimethoxycurcumin (1) a lipophilic bioactive curcumin derivative with dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) were investigated. The thermodynamic changes caused by (1) and its location into DPPC lipid bilayers were monitored by differential scanning calorimetry and Raman spectroscopy. The results reveal that (1) influences the thermotropic properties of DPPC lipid membrane causing abolition of the pretransition and broadening of the phase-transition profile and slightly decreases the T_m at increasing concentrations. The Raman height intensity ratios of the peaks I_2935/2880, I_2844/2880 and I_1090/1130 are representative of the interaction of (1) with the alkyl chains and furnish information about the ratio between disorder and order that exists in the conformation of the alkyl chain. The intensity changes of the peak at 715 cm⁻¹ indicates interaction between the choline head group and (1). The Raman spectroscopy results are in agreement with the thermal analysis results. Biologically active lipophilic molecules such as (1) should be studied in terms of their interaction with lipid bilayers prior to the development of advanced lipid carrier systems such as liposomes. The results of these studies provide information on the membrane integrity and physicochemical properties that are essential for the rational design lipidic drug delivery systems.     

Synthesis and Investigation of Electro-Optical Properties of H-Shape Dibenzofulvene Derivatives

We have synthetized two classes of dibenzofulvene-arylamino derivatives with an H-shape design, for a total of six different molecules. The molecular structures consist of two D-A-D units connected by a thiophene or bitiophene bridge, using diarylamino substituents as donor groups anchored to the 2,7- (Group A) and 3,6- (Group B) positions of the dibenzofulvene backbone. The donor units and the thiophene or bithiophene bridges were used as chemico-structural tools to modulate electro-optical and morphological-electrical properties. A combination of experiments, such as absorption measurements (UV-Vis spectroscopy), cyclic voltammetry, ellipsometry, Raman, atomic force microscopy, TD-DFT calculation and hole-mobility measurements, were carried out on the synthesized small organic molecules to investigate the differences between the two classes and therefore understand the relevance of the molecular design of the various properties. We found that the anchoring position on dibenzofulvene plays a crucial key for fine-tuning the optical, structural, and morphological properties of molecules. In particular, molecules with substituents in 2,7 positions (Group A) showed a lower structural disorder, a larger molecular planarity, and a lower roughness.     

Noble‐Metal‐Free Materials for Surface‐Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Detection

Surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is an attractive tool for the sensing of molecules in the fields of chemical and biochemical analysis as it enables the sensitive detection of molecular fingerprint information even at the single‐molecule level. In addition to traditional coinage metals in SERS analysis, recent research on noble‐metal‐free materials has also yielded highly sensitive SERS activity. This Minireview presents the recent development of noble‐metal‐free materials as SERS substrates and their potential applications, especially semiconductors and emerging graphene‐based nanostructures. Rather than providing an exhaustive review of this field, possible contributions from semiconductor substrates, characteristics of graphene enhanced Raman scattering, as well as effect factors such as surface plasmon resonance, structure and defects of the nanostructures that are considered essential for SERS activity are emphasized. The intention is to illustrate, through these examples, that the promise of noble‐metal‐free materials for enhancing detection sensitivity can further fuel the development of SERS‐related applications.     

[BMIm]BF4/Pt电极界面激光诱导电沉积Cu基材料研究

本文利用激光诱导并结合控制一定的电极电位,在[BMIm]BF₄/Pt电极体系中实现了激光诱导电沉积Cu基材料. 研究表明在非沉积电位（-0.2 V）激光可诱导产生电沉积. 激光的功率和照射时间对沉积产物有显著影响：功率越大,照射时间越长,则表面沉积物的量越多,且沉积仅仅发生在激光照射点以内. 此类激光诱导电沉积的发生主要源于激光的热效应可使电极表面局域温度显著上升,从而降低沉积的阈值电位,促使电沉积在非沉积电位区间发生. SEM研究表明电极表面的沉积点由50 nm左右的纳米粒子聚集而成,进一步的EDS和拉曼光谱证明该产物主要由Cu和Cu₂O的混合物组成. 以对巯基苯甲酸（MBA）为探针分子,通过SERS信号的强度变化,现场监测了激光诱导电沉积的过程,在起始阶段其沉积物的SERS效应明显,随沉积时间延长,因沉积物增多其形貌发生变化,“热点”消失,其SERS效应反而降低并随后保持不变. 同时,沉积点以外的SERS中并未检测到MBA,说明激光诱导作用仅仅发生在激光照射区域内,这为电极表面的定向沉积提供了新的途径.     

Theoretical Investigation on SERS of Pyridine Adsorbed on Cn Clusters Induced by Charge Transfer: A Hint that SERS Could be Applied on Many Materials

The SERS spectra of pyridine–C_n (n=1–6) complexes are investigated theoretically. The obtained enhancement factors of about 10²–10³ in the pre‐resonance Raman spectrum calculations are attributed to charge‐transfer transitions from the carbon clusters to pyridine, where a good match of band structures between substrates and probe molecules is essential.     

Thermal and Spectroscopic Study of Dehydration of Lithium Formate Monohydrate Single-crystals

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TG) of lithium formate monohydrate (LiHCOO·H₂O) were performed in the temperature range 300–700 K. The DSC/TG measurements show that the dehydration process to anhydrous lithium formate (LiHCOO) is complex and occurs in two stages. The data are correlated to the structure and to the arrangement of the molecules in the crystal, including the hydrogen-bonding. Infrared transmittance and Raman spectra of this crystal are reported and commented on. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Investigation of selectively substituted monosaccharides by the method of vibrational spectroscopy and X-ray analysis

The influence of steric factors on the formation of vibrational spectra of carbohydrates was illustrated by the example of selectively substituted monosaccharides. We consider compounds in which the difference and similarity of vibrational spectra are largely determined by the difference and similarity of the geometry of their molecular base (the molecule's skeleton). At the same time, in the case of selectively substituted nitrates of methyl-β- -glucopyranoside, the skeletal bases of which are identical, with differences in the localization site of volumetric substituents and their total number, or in rotational isomers (conformations) of the lateral nitrate groups, their Fourier Raman spectra are different over a wide spectral range. It is concluded that steric factors and the position of volumetric substituents of hydroxyls produce an exceptionally important effect on the formation of vibrational spectra of carbohydrates.     

Vibrational Spectroscopic and Mechanical Investigation of Carbon Nanotube-Reinforced Styrene-Butadiene Rubbers

This paper reports investigations carried out on elastomeric matrices based on a styrene-butadiene copolymer filled with multiwall carbon nanotubes. Stress-strain measurements of the composites demonstrate that carbon nanotubes bring significantly improvements in the mechanical properties with regard to the pure polymer. Raman spectroscopy, which is one of the most extensively employed methods for the characterization of carbon materials, has been applied for the analysis of the dependence of the Raman spectra on the nanotube content and on application of an uniaxial deformation. The results reveal a negligible stress transfer suggesting a weak interface between the tubes and the polymer chains.

Visualization of Ferroelectric Domains in Thin Films of Molecular Materials Using Confocal Micro-Raman Spectroscopy

Ferroelectrics are an important class of functional materials. Among all their unique properties, the study of their ferroelectric domains and domain walls is of great interest due to their importance in ferroelectric applications. There are many methods to characterize ferroelectric domains, namely, scanning probe microscopy, optical microscopy, electron microscopy, etc. Currently, newly emerged molecular ferroelectrics are attracting much attention from chemists, physicists and researchers in material sciences due to their structural flexibility, light mass, simple fabrication, etc. However, for the characterization of molecular ferroelectric domains, most conventional methods require either a complicated preparation process or direct contact between physical probes and material surfaces, limiting the development of molecular ferroelectric materials. In this report, we have demonstrated that confocal micro-Raman spectroscopy, as a nondestructive and noncontact in-situ method, is very suitable for studying the ferroelectric polarization and structures of domains in molecular ferroelectrics. Taking recently reported molecular ferroelectric trimethylchloromethyl ammonium trichlorocadmium(II) (TMCM-CdCl₃) as an example, the non-180° domains have been characterized and visualized at different temperatures. Such a simple and extendable method requires minimum sample preparation, which would further benefit the research of molecular ferroelectric domain engineering and promote the miniaturization and integration of molecular ferroelectric films.     

Optimization of Graphene Layers Grown on Pt/Ti/SiO2 by Hot Filament Chemical Vapor Deposition

Large area single and bilayer graphene are grown on Pt/Ti/SiO₂ substrates by hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) with and without the assistance of Cu foil. The quality and number of graphene layers deposited on the substrate are assessed by Raman Spectroscopy. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is used for assessing the surface topography of the graphene films grown on the Pt/Ti/SiO₂ substrates. The microstructure and elemental analyses are performed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). The results show that bilayer graphene growth is facilitated by a copper foil placed nearby Pt/Ti/SiO2 substrate and by a high filament temperature in the HFCVD reactor. Monolayer graphene grows only when no copper foil is placed near the Pt/Ti/SiO₂ substrate at a low filament temperature. The approach paves a novel pathway towards the layer-controlled growth of graphene on Pt/Ti/SiO₂ substrates by HFCVD for frontier applications.     

Optical and Calorimetrical Studies of Liquid Crystalline Materials Doped with Nanoparticles

Summary: Electro-optical properties of Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC) films doped with different nanoparticles (NPs), as well as optical and morphological properties of liquid crystal/NP mixtures have been investigated. PDLC films were prepared by UV irradiation of thiol-ene monomers and liquid crystal E7 in the presence of a small amount (0.5 and 1 wt.%) of nanoparticles. The presence of NP strongly influence the properties of liquid crystal/NP mixtures. In particular, adding nanoparticles results in a decrease of the glass and nematic-isotropic transition temperatures of the LC, suggesting that strong interactions occur between LC and nanoparticles.     

Diamond-like carbon films for polyethylene femoral parts: Raman and FT-IR spectroscopy before and after incubation in simulated body liquid

In artificial prosthetics for knee, hip, finger or shoulder joints, ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) is a significant material. Several attempts to reduce the wear rate of UHMW-PE, i.e. the application of suitable coatings, are in progress. A surface modification of polyethylene with wear-resistant hydrogenated diamond-like carbon is favourable, owing to the chemical similarity of polyethylene (–C–H₂–) _n and C:H or amorphous C:H (a–C:H) coatings with diamond-like properties. In the present study, the microstructure of a–C:H coatings on UHMW-PE substrates was investigated by Raman and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. FT-IR spectroscopy shows very broad absorption lines, which point to the disorder and diversity of different symmetric, asymmetric aromatic, olefin sp ²-hybridized or sp ³-hybridized C–H groups in the amorphous diamond-like carbon coating. Following a long incubation of 12 months in a simulated body liquid, the structural investigations were repeated. Furthermore, fractured cross-sections and the wetting behaviour with polar liquids were examined. After incubation in simulated body liquid, Raman spectroscopy pointed to a reduction of the C–H bonds in the diamond-like carbon coatings. On the basis of these findings, one can conclude that hydrogenated diamond-like carbon is able to interact with salt solutions by substituting the hydrogen with appropriate ions.     

Raman Investigation of the Low Temperature Phase Transitions in Monoclinic TlReO4

The Raman spectrum of monoclinic TlReO₄ is presented together with a factor group analysis and assignment of the bands. The phase transitions of monoclinic TlReO₄ is investigated below room temperature, and two phase transitions were identified between room temperature and 90 K. The room temperature monoclinic phase was converted to the orthorhombic phase at 170 K upon cooling, and to the tetragonal phase at 150 K. Upon heating back to room temperature the tetragonal phase persisted until the orthorhombic phase could be identified at 210 K and 220 K. From 230 K to room temperature the monoclinic phase could again be observed.
