Novel colorimetric sensor for mercury (Ⅱ) based on layer-by-layer assembly of unmodified silver triangular nanoplates

A simple layer-by-layer deposition technique was used to fabricate the multilayer thin films of unmodified silver triangular nanoplates(AgTNPs).The multilayer of AgTNPs thin films were fabricated by alternate deposition of each anionic sodium citrate stabilized AgTNPs and cationic poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride).All prepared AgTNPs multilayer thin films were exhibited a strong plasmon band at the wavelength of 667 nm,which confirmed the formation of AgTNPs onto the substrate.The characteristics of the multilayer thin films were investigated using contact angle measurement,UV-visible spectroscopy,X-ray diffraction analysis(XRD),atomic force microscope(AFM)and field emission scanning electron microscope(FESEM).As these films are to be used as a mercury(II)colorimetric sensor,the changes in optical properties of the films were evaluated for various mercury(Ⅱ)concentrations.AgTNPs assembled into thin films showed a strong color shift from blue to mauve and colorless when exposed to mercury(Ⅱ).The constructed multilayer thin films exhibited excellent color changes of mercury(II) with a linear range between 0.5 and 20 ppm.The limit of detection(LOD) and limit of quantitation(LOQ) were 0.45 ± 0.002 and 1.52 ± 0.002 ppm,respectively.The recovery values of AgTNPs multilayer thin films are satisfactory in the range of 100.1%-106.4%when applied to determining mercury(Ⅱ) in water samples.     

Assembly-enhanced triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion in the aggregation formed by Schiff-base Pt(Ⅱ) complex grafting-permethyl-β-CD and 9,10-diphenylanthracence dimer

Water-soluble triplet sensitizer with permethyl-β-cyclodextrin(PMCD) grafting on a Schiff-base Pt(Ⅱ)complex(Pt-2),in which PMCD unit serves as a host for binding the acceptors and the Schiff-base Pt(Ⅱ)complex serves as a triplet sensitizer,was synthesized to investigate the effect of supramolecular complexation and assembly on the triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion emission in water.9,10-Diphenylanthracence(DPA) carboxylate(A-1) and its dimer(A-2) in which two DPA carboxylate were covalently linked with an alkyl chain were synthesized as triplet acceptors which also play a role of guest molecules for PMCD.A-1 and A-2 showed high affinity with PMCD,and A-2 can readily aggregate in water and form micron sized assemblies due to the hydrophobic effect and π-π stacking of anthracene core in A-2.The efficiency of TTA-UC was demonstrated to be enhanced by a synergistic effect of host-guest complexation of Pt-2 with A-2 and the self-aggregation of the acceptor A-2,which facilitated the energy transfer and energy fusion among donor and acceptor.     

A Novel Two-dimensional Lead(Ⅱ) Coordination Polymer Based on Dinuclear Lead(Ⅱ) Unit Containing(5-Chloro-quinolin-8-yloxy) Acetate

A novel two-dimensional lead(II) coordination polymer 1, [C11H7Cl2NO3Pb]n, has been prepared by solvothermal reaction of new bridging ligand(5-chloro-quinolin-8-yloxy)acetic acid(HL) with PbCl2, and its structure was characterized by IR, elemental analysis, TG-DTA and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal is of monoclinic system, space group P21/c with a = 16.7603(7), b = 8.6907(4), c = 8.4745(3), β = 101.1110(11)°, C11H7Cl2NO3 Pb, Mr = 479.27, V = 1211.25(9)3, Z = 4, Dc = 2.628 g/cm3, F(000) = 880, μ = 14.367 mm-1, R = 0.0173 and wR = 0.0508. The asymmetric unit contains one lead(II) cation, one(5-chloro-quinolin-8-yloxy)acetate(L) ligand and a chloride ion. The PbII center is hepta-coordinated in a distorted pentagonal bipyramidal geometry. The coordination sphere of the Pb atom is completed by two oxygen atoms and one nitrogen atom of the same L ligand, two bridging chloride ions and two bridging oxygen atoms of two adjacent L ligands. Two PbII centers are linked by the two L ligands to form a C2-symmetric dimer unit with a planar [Pb2O2] ring. Each dimer unit acts as a secondary building unit(SBU) and links adjacent four dimer units by the chloride atoms and oxygen atoms of carboxylate groups of L, forming a two-dimensional array. Such two-dimensional layers are packed through intermolecular C–H···Cl hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional supramolecular structure. When the dimer unit is viewed as a 4-connected node, 1 is simplified as a 4-nodal 2-D network with square lattices of the diagonal lengths to be 6.079(1). The fluorescence emission peak of complex 1 appears near 407 nm.

STUDIES ON THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF Al-(D-TRYPTOPHAN) INSULIN

We have determined the crystal structure of Al-(D-Trp) insulin and discovered that it belongs to the trigonal system with space group R3. The parameters of the unit cell are a=b=78.6, c=50.0. A set of data for half a sphere reciprocal space to a spacing of 2.2 were collected. The model was adjusted and refined by using a step-by-step approach and a stereochemically-restrained least squares program, assisted by manual revision based on the difference Fourier maps, to a final R-factor of 0.218. The main and side chains of both Al-D-Trp residues in the asymmetric unit are well ordered. The packing of Al-(D-Trp) insulin in the unit cell, the conformational differences with other insulin structures and its structure and function relationship bave also been discussed.     

1-Pyrenecarboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone:A novel fluorescent molecular sensor towards mercury(Ⅱ) ion

<正>A novel and simple fluorescent molecular sensor,1-pyrenecarboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone(Hpytsc),was synthesized.Its higher sensitivity and selectivity to mercury(Ⅱ) ion were studied through absorption and emission channels.The UV-vis spectra show that the increasing mercury(Ⅱ) ion concentrations result in the decreasing absorption intensity.The fluorescence monomer emission of Hpytsc is enhanced upon binding mercury(Ⅱ) ion,which should be due to the 1:1 complex formation between Hpytsc and metal ion.     

Electrochemical Behavior of meso-Tetra (4-Sulfonatophenyl) Porphyrin and Its Copper Complex

The complex of Cu-TPPS was formed directly by mixing equal-molar concentrations of Cu~(2+) and meso-tetra(4-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrin(TPPS)in an acetate buffer solution at pH 4-6, and its electrochemical behavior was studied by the techniques of polarography, cyclic voltammetry and spectroelectrochemistry. Three different methods were applied to accelerating the formation of Cu-TPPS in aqueous solution, i.e. heating of solution,using vitamin C as a catalyst and preadsorbing TPPS on a hanging mercury electrode. The voltammetric reductions have shown 2e~- for the first step of TPPS and 4e~- for Cu-TPPS with a peak potential at -1.04V. By applying the method of spectroelectrochemistry using a selfdesigned long-optical-path cell with Hg working electrode, the amount of saturated adsorption of TPPS and Cu-TPPS on mercury surface is found to be the same. Hence, the area of the adsorbed molecule calculated by measuring the area (i×t) under the voltammetric peak is also the same as 395 (?)~2.     

MOF-derived Cu_2O/Cu NPs on N-doped Porous Carbon as a Multifunctional Sensor for Mercury(Ⅱ) and Glucose with Wide Detection Range

Cu_2O/Cu nanoparticles(NPs) in the nanoporous carbon matrix(designated as Cu_2O/Cu@NPC) has been synthesized by in-situ calcination of a cupper-based metal-organic framework(Cu-MOF), and its morphology and composition were characterized by PXRD, SEM and Raman. Furthermore, elemental mapping and XPS analysis not only show Cu NPs is generated along with nitrogen(N)-doped carbon, but also indicate Cu_2O NPs locates in the external layer of Cu@NPC. In addition, the adsorption of dye studies implies that Cu_2O/Cu@NPC exhibits obvious interaction with Rhodamine B(Rh B) due to the feature of porous and N-doped structure. Cu_2O/Cu@NPC has highly electrocatalytic performance for glucose and mercury(Ⅱ) with wide detection range and good stability, which can be used as a novel multifunctional sensor for glucose and mercury(Ⅱ).

Solution structures and dynamic properties of chelated d(0) metal olefin complexes [eta(5): eta(1)-C(5)R(4)SiMe(2)N(t)Bu]Ti(OCMe(2)CH(2)CH(2)CH=CH(2))(+) (R = H, Me): Models for the [eta(5): eta(1)-C(5)R(4)SiMe(2)N(t)Bu]Ti(R')(olefin)(+) intermediates in "constrained geometry" catalysts.

To model the Ti-olefin interaction in the putative [eta(5): eta(1)-C(5)R(4)SiMe(2)N(t)Bu]Ti(R')(olefin)(+) intermediates in "constrained geometry" Ti-catalyzed olefin polymerization, chelated alkoxide olefin complexes [eta(5): eta(1)-C(5)R(4)SiMe(2)N(t)Bu]Ti(OCMe(2)CH(2)CH(2)CH=CH(2))(+) have been investigated. The reaction of [eta(5): eta(1)-C(5)R(4)SiMe(2)N(t)Bu]TiMe(2) (1a,b; R = H, Me) with HOCMe(2)CH(2)CH(2)CH=CH(2) yields mixtures of [eta(5)-C(5)R(4)SiMe(2)NH(t)Bu]TiMe(2)(OCMe(2)CH(2)CH(2)CH=CH(2)) (2a,b) and [eta(5): eta(1)-C(5)R(4)SiMe(2)N(t)Bu]TiMe(OCMe(2)CH(2)CH(2)CH=CH(2)) (3a,b). The reaction of 2a/3a and 2b/3b mixtures with B(C(6)F(5))(3) yields the chelated olefin complexes [[eta(5): eta(1)-C(5)R(4)SiMe(2)N(t)Bu]Ti(OCMe(2)CH(2)CH(2)CH=CH(2))][MeB(C(6)F(5))(3)] (4a,b; 71 and 89% NMR yield). The reaction of 2b/3b with [Ph(3)C][B(C(6)F(5))(4)] yields [[eta(5): eta(1)-C(5)Me(4)SiMe(2)N(t)Bu]Ti(OCMe(2)CH(2)CH(2)CH=CH(2))][B(C(6)F(5))(4)] (5b, 88% NMR yield). NMR studies establish that 4a,b and 5b exist as mixtures of diastereomers (isomer ratios: 4a/4a', 62/38; 4b/4b', 75/25; 5b/5b', 75/25), which differ in the enantioface of the olefin that is coordinated. NMR data for these d(0) metal olefin complexes show that the olefin coordinates to Ti in an unsymmetrical fashion primarily through C(term) such that the C=C pi bond is polarized with positive charge buildup on C(int). Dynamic NMR studies show that 4b/4b' undergoes olefin face exchange by a dissociative mechanism which is accompanied by fast inversion of configuration at Ti ("O-shift") in the olefin-dissociated intermediate. The activation parameters for the conversion of 4b to 4b' (i.e., 4b/4b' face exchange) are: DeltaH = 17.2(8) kcal/mol; DeltaS = 8(1) eu. 4a/4a' also undergoes olefin face exchange but with a lower barrier (DeltaH = 12.2(9) kcal/mol; DeltaS = -2(3) eu), for the conversion of 4a to 4a'.
