锌卟啉自组装在染料敏化太阳能电池中的应用（英文）

制备了2种锌卟啉天线分子P2与P3,并通过自组装的方法成功地将这些天线分子应用到了染料敏化太阳能电池之中。与传统的D-π-A结构的染料相比,这种策略显示出了明显的优势:可以避免复杂的合成步骤,还可以通过调节天线分子和锚固基团的结构去改善染料的光子捕获能力并减少电荷复合行为。当4-吡啶-4-基苯甲酸(A)作为锚固基团时,经过分子自组装之后,基于A-P2的电池器件显示出了1.68%的转换效率,开路电压为526 mV,短路电流密度为5.39 mA·cm~(-2),这充分说明了自组装策略在染料敏化太阳能电池中得到了很好的应用。而基于A-P3的电池器件能量转换效率只有0.79%,这可能主要是因为天线分子P3较大的位阻减小了染料吸附量的原因造成的。我们另外也测试比较了它们在光学、电化学、光伏性能等方面的差异。

美国科学家制造出全新光子分子形态

<正>与大多数基本粒子相比,光子的静止质量为零,这意味着其在真空中的传播速度是光速。与其它量子一样,光子具有波粒二象性:光子能够表现出经典波的折射、干涉、衍射等性质;而光子的粒子性则表现为和物质相互作用时不像经典的粒子那样可以传递任意值的能量,光子只能传递量子化的能量。对可见光而言,单个光子携带的能量约为4×10–19焦耳,这样大小的能量足以激发起眼睛上感光细胞的一个分子,从而引起视觉。除能量以外,光子还具有动量和偏振态,但单个光子没有确定的动量或偏振态。

超分子光化学进展

在过去的十几年中超分子光化学作为一门崭新的科学分支取得了巨大的进展。在推动这种发展的一系列原因中,最重要并给人们以激励与鼓舞的是超分子概念本身的智能性基础,即超分子是通过设计而完成,并赋有某种特定的功能,同时这种由多个分子构件所组成的超分子还可被看作为单一的智能单元来加以分析和处理。自然界中光子被用作为植物光合作用的能源和生物视觉过程中的信息单元,因此对具有光功能性的超分子体系之设计中大多是集中于设计及构筑一人工的能量转换和信息记录,贮存体系以及为实现上述器件而必须进行研究的某些基本部件或基本环节。     

Spectroscopic studies of the conformational properties of naphthoyl chitosan in dilute solutions

A naphthoyl chitosan derivative was prepared, and its conformations in dilute solutions were characterized with spectroscopic methods, including circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and fluorescence emission spectroscopy. The CD spectrum of this polymer showed a negative band at about 295 nm in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), indicating that the polymer adopted a helical secondary structure. A helix reversion occurred at concentrations greater than 1 mg/mL. The intensity of the CD signal decreased with the addition of water to the solution, and this suggested a change from a helical conformation to a looser one as a result of the collapse of intramolecular hydrogen bonds. In the fluorescence emission experiments, two kinds of excimer emission bands were detected at 375 and 425 nm, and they were assigned to a partially overlapped dimer with a twisted geometry and a fully overlapped dimer with a sandwichlike geometry, respectively. Adding water to a solution of naphthoyl chitosan in DMSO resulted in a gradual reduction of the emission intensity at 375 nm, and this implied that the twisted arrangement of the chromophore was destroyed by the presence of water. The relative intensity (i.e., the ratio of the intensity of the excimer emission at 425 nm to that of the excimer emission at 375 nm) depended on the solvent (DMSO, N,N‐dimethylformamide, N,N‐dimethylacetamide, and 1‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidinone), and this indicated that the conformation of naphthoyl chitosan was solvent‐dependent. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

利用聚合物自组装实现绿色荧光蛋白生色团的荧光增强

根据绿色荧光蛋白的发光原理,采用聚乙二醇与聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯的两亲性两嵌段聚合物通过自组装包覆生色团的方式,模拟了绿色荧光蛋白发光,考察了组装行为对光学性能的影响,并将其用于细胞成像.通过核磁共振、高分辨质谱、傅里叶变换红外光谱、凝胶渗透色谱、紫外-可见吸收光谱及荧光光谱等表征了生色团分子和聚合物的结构及性能.生色团紫外最大吸收在371 nm,荧光最大发射峰在428 nm.聚合物和生色团进行组装后,其紫外吸收消失,而最大荧光发射峰强度大大增强,且发生了约70 nm的红移,这是因为组装使得生色团的自由旋转受到了限制,且生色团共平面性增加.动态光散射(DLS)和透射电镜(TEM)证明了纳米粒子的结构和尺寸.由于尺寸适合且具有较好的荧光性能,纳米粒子成功应用于细胞成像.这种绿色荧光蛋白生色团的简单自组装方式在生物成像领域具有良好应用前景.     

Photoinduced electron transfer in coaggregates of dicyanonaphthalene and pyrazoline

The photophysical properties of mixed coaggregates containing 1,4-dicyanonaphthalene (DCN) and 1,3,5-triphenyl-2-pyrazoline (TPP) have been studied. The absorption spectra of mixed coaggregates indicate that a charge-transfer complex is not formed in the ground state between DCN and TPP. The fluorescence of TPP in the mixed coaggregates is quenched by DCN, accompanied with a broad and structureless emission at about 560 nm from an exciplex between DCN and TPP. The color of the emission from mixed coaggregates is tunable by changing the DCN content. The excited-state properties of the TPP-DCN molecule pair are investigated theoretically with a quantum chemistry method. The theoretical results have also confirmed that the broad emission at about 560 nm in the mixed coaggregates originates from the exciplex rather than from the charge-transfer complex.     

In situ intercalative polymerization of conducting polypyrrole/montmorillonite nanocomposites

Conducting polypyrrole (PPy)‐montmorillonite (MMT) clay nanocomposites have been synthesized by the in situ intercalative polymerization method. The PPy‐MMT nanocomposites are characterized by field‐emission scanning electron microscopy (FE‐SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Fourier‐transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. XRD patterns show that after polymerization by the in situ intercalative method with ammonium persulfate and 1 M HCl, an increase in the basal spacing from 1.2 to 1.9 nm was observed, signifying that PPy is synthesized between the interlayer spaces of MMT. TEM and SEM micrographs suggest that the coexistence of intercalated MMT layers with the PPy macromolecules. FTIR reveals that there might be possible interfacial interactions present between the MMT clay and PPy matrix. The study also shows that the introduction of MMT clay results in thermal stability improvement of the PPy. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 46: 2279–2285, 2008     

三聚磷酸二氢铝与有机胺的插层反应特征

采用IR、XRD、SEM、EDS、DT-TG和滴定实验等技术手段研究主体三聚磷酸二氢铝(ATP)与客体甲胺、乙胺、正丙胺和正丁胺等有机胺的插层反应特性。 实验结果表明,ATP与甲胺、乙胺、正丙胺、正丁胺发生了化学反应,有机胺中的N与ATP层间-OH上的H形成配位键。 这些有机胺通过插层反应改变了ATP的酸性、层间距和热分解温度,但没有改变颗粒的层状形貌。 层间距从0.795 nm增大至1.71 nm,层间距d与有机胺的碳原子数Cn呈线性关系：d=0.229Cn+0.811,R2=0.9986。 有机胺分子链越长则越具有剥离倾向。     

One-Pot Functionalization of Graphene with Porphyrin through Cycloaddition Reactions

Two types of graphene‐based hybrid materials, graphene‐TPP (TPP=tetraphenylporphyrin) and graphene‐PdTPP (PdTPP=palladium tetraphenylporphyrin), were prepared directly from pristine graphene through one‐pot cycloaddition reactions. The hybrid materials were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), by TEM, by UV/Vis, FTIR, Raman, and luminescence spectroscopy, and by fluorescence/phosphorescence lifetime measurements. The presence of the covalent linkages between graphene and porphyrin was confirmed by FTIR and Raman spectroscopy and further supported by control experiments. The presence of TPP (or PdTPP) in the hybrid material was demonstrated by UV/Vis spectroscopy, with TGA results indicating that the graphene‐TPP and graphene‐PdTPP hybrid materials contained approximately 18 % TPP and 20 % PdTPP. The quenching of fluorescence (or phosphorescence) and reduced lifetimes suggest excited state energy/electron transfer between graphene and the covalently attached TPP (or PdTPP) molecules.     

Highly Soluble Porphyrin (TPP)-Perylene Diimide (PDI) Dyad and Triad:Synthesis and Spectroscopic Studies

Novel porphyrin‐perylene diimide dyad (TPP‐PDI) and porphyrin‐perylene diimide‐porphyrin triad (TPP‐PDI‐TPP) were synthesized and characterized. Their structure and properties were studied by UV, FL, ¹H NMR, MS, elemental analysis, etc. The variation of fluorescence feature and UV spectra of TPP‐PDI‐TPP triad were investigated at different concentration of CF₃COOH in THF. The incorporation of CF₃COOH leads to the closure of the efficient charge transfer decay. After protonation of porphyrin units, the fluorescence intensity of TPP‐PDI‐TPP triad increased greatly. The fluorescence intensity of TPP‐PDI‐TPP triad restored after addition of triethylamine into the solution. Thus, TPP‐PDI‐TPP triad was a proton‐type fluorescence switch based on acid‐base control. Moreover, different from porphyrin‐perylene type molecular switches reported before, this TPP‐PDI‐TPP triad has wonderful solubility in organic solvents.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Magnetic Composites: Intercalation of Naproxen into Mg‐Al Layered Double Hydroxides Coated on Fe3O4

In this work the synthesis and characterization of a magnetic composite is described. It was prepared by deposition of Nap‐Mg‐Al‐LDH on Fe₃O₄ by a coprecipitation method. The structures of the obtained products were studied by powder X‐ray diffraction, FT‐IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis. From the X‐ray diffraction results, it was found that Fe₃O₄ was successfully distributed into the layered double hydroxide (LDH) phase. Furthermore, the increase in the basal spacing of LDHs from 0.881 nm to 2.157 nm shows that naproxen was successfully intercalated into the interlayer space. The particle size was estimated using transmission electron microscopy. Thermogravimetric studies indicate that the thermal stability of naproxen was enhanced after intercalation. Moreover, in vitro drug release experiments in phosphate buffer solution (pH = 7.4) were investigated.     

Synthesis and characterization of fluorescent copolymer containing rare earth metal complex and its interaction with DNA

A complex of Eu³⁺, acrylic acid (AA), and 1, 10‐phenanthroline (Phen) was synthesized. The structure and fluorescence of Eu(AA)₃Phen was characterized with elemental analysis, FTIR, ¹H NMR, and fluorescence spectroscopy. A novel copolymer containing rare earth complex, poly(PEGMA‐co‐NIPAm‐co‐Eu(AA)3Phen) (PPNEu), was prepared by free radical copolymerization in methanol with azodiisobutyronitrile as initiator. ¹H NMR, fluorescence spectroscopy, UV‐vis spectroscopy, and TEM were used to characterize this copolymer. The interaction of PPNEu with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was studied by fluorescence spectroscopy, UV‐vis spectroscopy and agarose gel electrophoresis. The results of fluorescence, UV‐vis absorption, and agarose electrophoresis indicated that the PPNEu could interact with DNA in an electrostatic bonding mode. The TEM observation showed that the PPNEu could form spherical micelles in water solution small than 100 nm; the efficient complexation of PPNEu with DNA occurred. These results suggested the potential of the PPNEu as gene detective reagent and gene delivery carrier. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem, 2010     

PHOTOCHEMISTRY OF TYPE I ACID-SOLUBLE CALF SKIN COLLAGEN: DEPENDENCE ON EXCITATION WAVELENGTH

Although previous studies have demonstrated that the predominant photochemistry of type I collagen under 254 nm irradiation may be attributed either to direct absorption by tyrosine/phenylalanine or to peptide bonds, direct collagen photochemistry via solar UV wavelengths is much more likely to involve several age- and tissue-related photolabile collagen fluorophores that absorb in the latter region. In this study, we compare and contrast results obtained from irradiation of a commercial preparation of acid-soluble calf skin type I collagen in solution with UVC (primarily 254 nm), UVA (335–400nm) and broad-band solar-simulating radiation (SSR; 290^1–00nm). Excitation spectroscopy and analysis of photochemically induced disappearance of fluorescence (fluorescence fading) indicates that this preparation has at least four photolabile fluorescent chromophores. In addition to tyrosine and L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine, our sample contains two other fluorophores. Chromophore I, with emission maximum at 360 nm, appears to be derived from interacting aromatic moieties in close mutual proximity. Chromophore II, with broad emission at430–435 nm, may be composed of one or more age-related molecules. Collagen fluorescence fading kinetics are sensitive to excitation wavelength and to conformation. Under UVC, chromophore I fluorescence disappears with second-order kinetics, indicating a reaction between two proximal like molecules. Adherence to second-order kinetics is abrogated by prior denaturation of the collagen sample. A new broad, weak fluorescence band at400–420 nm, attributable to dityrosine, forms under UVC, but not under solar radiation. This band is photolabile to UVA and UVB wavelengths. Amino acid analysis indicates significant destruction of aromatic amino acids under UVC, but not under UVA or SSR. When properly understood, collagen fluorescence fading phenomena may act as a sensitive molecular probe of structure, conformation and reactivity.
