Spektroskopische Eigenschaften von Di(phthalocyaninato)metallaten(III) der Seltenen Erden Teil 1: Elektronische Absorptionsspektren und Schwingungsspektren

Spectroscopical Properties of Di(phthalocyaninato)metalates(III) of the Rare Earth Elements. Part 1: Electronic Absorption and Vibrational Spectra Di(phthalocyaninato)metalates(III) of the rare earth elements were prepared by the reaction of partially dehydrated lanthanide acetate with molten phthalodinitrile in the presence of potassium methylate and isolated as complex salts with different tetraalkylammonium cations, especially tetra(n-butyl)- and tri(n-dodecyl)n-octylammonium and di((triphenyl)phosphine)-iminium (abbrev.: (ⁿBu₄N), TDOA, PNP). Besides the typical strong π-π* transitions in the B, Q, N regions of the Pc^2? ligands low intensity bands at ca. 10, 11 and 19 kK are observed in the UV-Vis-NIR spectra and assigned to singulet–triplet transitions. In going from La to Lu the B band splits continously due to excitonic coupling extending from 0,71 (La) to 1,92 kK (Lu). The FIR-MIR and resonance Raman spectra are nearly metal independent with the exception of some hypsochromically shifted bands due to C? C and C? N stretching and deformation vibrations of the inner (CN)₈ ring. Only the FIR band at 157 cm^?1 (La) assigned to the asym. Ln? N stretching vibration is shifted to lower energy.

Determination of glyphosate as cross-contaminant in a commercial herbicide by capillary electrophoresis-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry

Capillary electrophoresis combined with mass spectrometry (CE-MS) was used for the rapid determination of the negatively charged herbicide, Glyphosate, in a selective dried granule (DG) formulation. The CE-MS method was required to ensure product safety from the risk of cross contamination of a selective herbicide formulation. Glyphosate separation was achieved by using a bare fused-silica capillary column, operated in the reversed-polarity mode, using ammonium formate buffer, pH 2.5. The total CE-MS analysis time was under 10 min and the limit of detection was 10 ng/mL. The CE-MS analysis of Glyphosate was simple, rapid, and selective. The method involved minimal sample handling and was proven to be ideal for cross-contamination investigations in manufacturing samples.     

Electron–hole transition energy for a spherical quantum dot confined in a nano-cylindrical wire

A single-band constant confining potential is applied to InAs spherical quantum dot confined in a GaAs cylindrical nano-wire to determine the electronic structure. The energy eigenvalues and transition energies are numerically calculated as a function of the dot radius. The calculations were performed within the effective mass approximation, using the finite element method. The effect of both spherical and cylindrical confinement, the size dependence of the ground and first excited state energies for electron and heavy hole and transition energies are reported and compared with experimental and theoretical results in relevant conditions.
