等离激元表面晶格共振研究进展

当金属纳米粒子排列成有序阵列结构时,沿阵列平面内传播的衍射波与单粒子局域等离激元共振耦合,将导致等离激元共振急剧窄化,光谱宽度降至2 nm以下.与共振宽度在80 nm以上的常规单粒子共振相比,这种具有高品质因子的衍射耦合等离激元共振称为等离激元表面晶格共振.近年来,关于表面晶格共振研究已成为纳米光子学领域的研究热点,在发光、激光、光伏、通讯、存储以及传感等领域显示出巨大的应用前景.本文主要综述等离激元表面晶格共振的基本原理和性质,包括共振宽度、共振品质、电场增强,探讨了表面晶格共振的测试方法、影响因素以及纳米光学应用.     

基于局域SPR传感器的免疫分析

局域表面等离子体共振(LSPR)是一种由入射光(电磁场)与金属纳米粒子表面自由电子间相互作用产生的物理光学现象,其性质与纳米粒子的组成、尺寸、形状、粒子间距和周围介质折射率等因素有关.溶胶LSPR传感已被成功地应用于免疫分析以及DNA检测等方面.应用聚电解质作为自组装材料,通过静电相互作用,将金纳米粒子组装于玻璃基片上制备LSPR传感膜.此种方法制备的LSPR传感膜中金纳米粒子的单分散性好,制备过程简单、组装时间短.同时,应用紫外.可见分光光度计进行检测,实验操作更加简便.     

基于等离激元热电子调控的全谱光催化产氢增强（英文）

等离激元效应在光催化体系中的集成为实现广谱光吸收提供了一个新的途径,然而等离激元热电子的较低迁移率和不确定扩散方向使得其光催化效率仍较低.等离激元金属与n型半导体接触后,其界面间会形成肖特基结.在特定波长太阳光照射下,等离激元金属将其表面等离子体能量聚集在表面自由电子上,进而产生热电子.当这些热电子具有的能量高于肖特基势垒时,热电子便可注入到半导体导带上.与此同时,半导体上的电子可以通过肖特基接触发生回流,与金属上的空穴复合,进而降低半导体-等离激元金属复合材料的光催化性能.因此,为了提高光催化效率,如何调控等离激元热电子迁移和充分利用等离激元效应是一个重要挑战.本文尝试将"表面异质结"与肖特基结相结合的复合结构,得以有效地调控等离激元热电子的迁移.在该复合结构中,金纳米颗粒和铂纳米颗粒分别作为等离激元吸光单元和助催化剂,集成在TiO_2纳米片表面.其中"表面异质结"是由TiO_2纳米片的两种不同表面晶面所构成,我们选择由{001}和{101}两组晶面组成的TiO_2纳米片作为半导体衬底.该结构中的{001}晶面导带能级高于{101}导带能级,因而电子由高能级的{001}流向低能级的{101}晶面,可以用来引导等离激元热电子从可见光响应的金纳米颗粒向TiO_2进行高效转移.通过巯基丙酸的桥联作用,将等离激元Au纳米颗粒锚定在TiO_2纳米片的{001}晶面上,获得Au-TiO_2{001}样品.另一方面,利用TiO_2纳米片自身光生电荷导向性光沉积,得到与{101}晶面结合形成的Au-TiO_2{101}样品.我们对两组样品进行光电流和光催化产氢实验对比,确认在"表面异质结"诱导下Au-TiO_2{001}样品中Au产生的光生热电子可以更好地注入到TiO_2纳米片导带上.我们进一步通过光沉积Pt纳米颗粒来判定光生电子所能到达的区域,验证了以上结论.与此同时,肖特基结由铂纳米颗粒与TiO_2纳米片所形成,可以促使电子由TiO_2向铂纳米颗粒进行转移,而避免发生向金纳米颗粒的反向迁移,从而在Au-TiO_2体系中实现高效的单向载流子转移.基于该设计,等离激元光催化剂实现了明显改善的全谱光催化产氢性能.本文为全谱光催化的复合结构理性设计提供了一个新的思路.     

陷阱态对Ag-TiO2光诱导界面电荷转移的影响:电化学、光电化学和光谱表征(英文)

在基于金属-半导体异质结构的等离激元介导化学反应中,了解其中的电荷转移和复合机制进而调控界面、提高界面电荷分离,对于提高等离激元催化反应效率至关重要。但电化学体系中固液界面上的等离激元光电催化反应是一个多过程、多时间尺度、多影响因素的复杂体系,光生载流子在界面间传递机制的研究仍面临着巨大的挑战。由于光电化学信号的产生和变化包含了诸多体相和界面过程,因此光电化学方法是探究等离激元催化反应过程中的界面电荷转移机制的有效手段之一。本文合成了TiO₂和Ag-TiO₂纳米粒子,以光电化学方法作为主要研究手段,并结合电化学和各种谱学表征手段,探究了电极陷阱态对界面电荷转移机制的影响。结果表明,在Ag负载在TiO₂表面后,电极的陷阱态显著增加。结合XPS以及PL光谱,陷阱态增加可主要归咎于表面羟基。陷阱态的增加导致了荧光的猝灭和光电响应的减弱,但增加的陷阱态复合过程也延长了载流子的寿命。陷阱态的调控必然会影响界面电荷转移,从而改变热载流子的数量和寿命,进而调控后续Ag界面上的等离激元反应。在反应位点位于金属的基于金属-半导体复合体系的...

利用半导体作为催化剂,将水光催化还原为H₂,为缓解全球能源危机以及环境污染问题提供了一种经济环保的途径。优化调控载流子动力学行为对提高半导体光催化分解水还原为绿色燃料-H₂的活性具有十分重要的意义。目前,基于半导体异质结效应或局域表面等离激元共振的敏化过程来设计和调控半导体基异质结构体系已成为调控载流子动力学行为的一种经典策略。然而,通过精细设计异质结构,合理耦合上述敏化过程,实现载流子动力学的级联调制,从而获得高效的光催化产H₂活性仍然任重道远。在本文中,我们通过原位氧化(g-C₃N₄的剥离和Ag₂S)和还原(Ag)反应,将等离激元Ag纳米颗粒(NPs)和两种不同的半导体Ag₂SNPs和g-C₃N₄纳米片(NSs)组装在电纺TiO₂纳米纤维(NFs)中,形成了一种新型四元异质组分纳米纤维(HNFs)体系。结合时间分辨光致发光光谱,3D时域有限差分模拟以及对照实验,我们...     

纳米银米表面等离子激元增强上转换发光

上转换纳米发光材料因发光效率普遍较低限制了其在应用领域的进一步发展。利用贵金属的局域表面等离子体共振特性调控发射体的局域场成为提高上转换纳米粒子发光性能的有效途径之一。在这个工作中,我们利用合成工艺简单的贵金属米状结构,通过调控上转换纳米颗粒周围的局域场,实现了上转换发光强度的大幅提高。结合三维有限元方法研究了在实际薄膜中Ag米之间可能出现的不同接触方式对所产生的局域场增强效果的影响,同时证实这种局域等离激元耦合所引起的电磁场增强是提高上转换发光性能的重要因素,并且获得了上转换发光将近百倍的增强效果。最后,通过调控等离子层和发光层的厚度,实现上转换发光性能的进一步优化。     

金纳米粒子单层膜表面SPR催化反应的原位SERS研究

表面增强拉曼散射（SERS）基底的活性和均匀性是其SERS应用研究的关键,通过气-液两相界面自发组装的方式及控制组装的时间可制备致密性不同的金纳米粒子单层膜（Au MLF）.由于疏松和致密基底表面的LSPR产生的方式和强度不同导致SERS增强效应和均匀性两者无法同时兼顾,通常得到局域表面等离激元共振（SERS）增强性能及表面等离激元共振（SPR）催化性能优异但均匀性欠佳的疏松基底,或SERS增强性能与SPR催化性能中等但均匀性优越的致密基底.研究表明SERS增强效应的提高与粒子密度增加和“热点”活性增加有关,而SPR催化转化率仅与“热点”活性有关.本文以致密的Au MLF为基底,以对巯基苯胺（PATP）和对巯基苯甲酸（MBA）为探针分子系统研究了激光功率对SPR催化反应效率的影响,研究发现激光功率提高可显著提升PATP偶联反应及MBA脱羧反应的转化率.同时发现后者脱羧反应的速率与激光功率平方的倒数成线性关系,为相关表面过程的动力学参数测定提供了新的途径.

A carbanion induced synthesis of highly congested pyrazole and imidazole containing heterocycles

An efficient approach to the synthesis of highly congested di, penta and hexacyclic pyrazoles as well as imidazole fragment containing novel heterocyclic molecule has been developed through a carbanion induced transformation of suitably functionalized 2H-pyran-2-ones, benzo[h]chromene and thiochromeno[4,3-b]pyrans. Due to the presence of fluorescence, we report their prime application metal sensor as off/on switching in ferric ions.     

α-Amino acid derived enaminones and their application in the synthesis of N-protected methyl 5-substituted-4-hydroxypyrrole-3-carboxylates and other heterocycles

A new and simple synthesis of novel N-protected methyl 5-substituted-4-hydroxypyrrole-3-carboxylates, which exist in equilibrium with their 4-oxo tautomers, has been developed in two steps starting from N-protected α-amino acids. The key intermediates are enaminones, which can also be isolated, characterized, and used for the construction of other functionalized heterocycles, before they spontaneously decompose to pyrrole products. 4-Hydroxypyrroles are prone to partial aerial oxidation but can be efficiently alkylated or reduced to stable polysubstituted pyrrolidine derivatives.     

Specific intramolecular aromatic CH insertion of diazosulfonamides

The chemoselectivity in the intramolecular CH insertion of various diazosulfonamides has been experimentally studied. The results reveal that the aliphatic 1,4-, 1,5-, or 1,6-C(sp³)?H insertions of diazosulfonamides are not accessible, while the aromatic 1,5-C(sp²)?H insertion can be realized specifically by adjusting the diazo-adjacent group. In addition, the general chemoselectivities in the intramolecular CH insertions of diazosulfonyl compounds are summarized. Generally, diazosulfones undergo both aromatic 1,5-C(sp²)?H and aliphatic 1,5- and 1,6-C(sp³)?H insertions, while diazosulfonates undergo aliphatic 1,5- and 1,6-C(sp³)?H insertions. However, diazosulfonamides only undergo aromatic 1,5-C(sp²)?H insertion.

Introduction of electron releasing alkyl groups in substrates 4a–b was found to be instrumental for the success of the reaction.     

Understanding the Diels-Alder reactivity of 1,2-azaborine analogues

The Diels-Alder reactivity of 1,2-heteroborines (H₄C₄B(H)X, X?=?NH, PH, AsH; O, S, Se) has been computationally explored by means of Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. The influence of the HB?=?X fragment on the reactivity of the system has been quantitatively analyzed in detail by means of the so-called Activation Strain Model (ASM) of reactivity. It is found that the interaction between these species and the dienophile is significantly stronger than that computed for their all-carbon isoelectronic counterpart, benzene. In addition, the strain energy plays a key role in the observed reactivity trends. The role of the aromaticity strength of these heteroarenes on the reactivity is also assessed.     

Synthesis of N-substituted carbazolones from α-iodo enaminones via Pd(0)-catalyzed intramolecular coupling under microwave irradiation

A variety of N-aryl and N-alkyl carbazolones were conveniently achieved in good to high yields via Pd₂(dba)₃-mediated intramolecular coupling of N-substituted α-iodo enaminones under microwave irradiation. The Pd(0)-catalyzed cyclization was found to proceed favorably with the more electron-deficient phenyl ring during the reactions involving unsymmetrical N,N-diaryl α-iodo enaminones. This unique property enables the construction of carbazolone skeleton containing nitro substituted benzenoid ring.     

Iodine-mediated oxidative Pictet-Spengler reaction using terminal alkyne as the 2-oxoaldehyde surrogate for the synthesis of 1-aroyl-β-carbolines and fused-nitrogen heterocycles

An efficient iodine-mediated oxidative Pictet-Spengler reaction in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) using terminal alkynes as the 2-oxoaldehyde surrogate for the synthesis of aryl (9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-1-yl)methanones is described. The scope of the protocol includes the total synthesis of Fascaplysin, Eudistomins Y₁ and Y₂. The methodology is extended for preparing pyrrolo[1,2-a]-quinoxaline and indolo[1,5-a]quinoxaline derivatives. The utility of 1-aroyl-β-carbolines was demonstrated by performing palladium-catalyzed β-carboline directed ortho-C(sp2)-H functionalization of the phenyl ring with thiomethyl (SMe) group using DMSO as source and for accessing 4-aryl-canthin-6-ones.     

Facile synthesis of bicyclic 1-arylpyrazol-5-ones

In this Letter, we described a facile method for constructing fused bicyclic 1-arylpyrazol-5-one ring system. We employed various methylene-containing carboxylic acids as the substrates and proved that the pyrazolone ring closure requires activated methylene group in intermediate II. Accordingly, a series of structurally diversified, fused bicyclic 1-arylpyrazol-5-ones was prepared in moderate to high yields using the requisite substrates.     

Synthesis of substituted 2,4,5,6-tetrahydrocyclopenta[c]pyrazoles and 2,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrazoles by intramolecular nitrilimine cycloaddition

Both substituted 2,4,5,6-tetrahydrocyclopenta[c]pyrazoles and 2,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrazoles have been synthesized by the 3+2 intramolecular dipolar cycloaddition of nitrilimines to alkynes. This cyclization has been extended to more versatile 3-bromo derivatives by the use of alkynylbromides as dipolarophiles.
