A mesoporous template route to the low-temperature preparation of efficient green light emitting Zn2SiO4:Mn phosphors

Green light emitting Zn2SiO4:Mn phosphors have been prepared via a low-temperature solid-state reaction using mesoporous silica SBA-15 template. This mesoporous silica template method features low-temperature formation of phosphors and easy doping. The structure and morphology of the phosphors were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, and N2 adsorption/desorption techniques, which confirmed the single crystallinity, ordered mesostructure, closed pore channels, and elongated ropelike morphology. The luminescent properties were examined by photoluminescence spectroscopy at room temperature, and the results of fluorescence decay time measurements show non-single-exponential decay behavior and a decrease of the decay time with an increase of the Mn concentration.

Crystallization behavior and micelle formation of star-shaped amphiphilic block copolymer based on dendritic poly(ether-amide)

The star-shaped amphiphilic block copolymer (DPEA-PCL-PEG) was prepared through ring opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone (CL) initiated by hydroxyl end-capped dendritic poly(ether-amide) (DPEA-OH), then coupling with monomethoxy-terminated poly(ethylene-glycol) (PEG) via an esterification process. The molecular structure was verified by FT-IR, ¹H NMR and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The number average molecular weight of the PCL arm was calculated to be about 1910 g mol⁻¹ by ¹H NMR analysis. The number average molecular weight of the copolymer was determined to be 74,020 with the molecular weight distribution of 1.15 by GPC. The DSC and X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that the copolymer possesses double melting and crystallization peaks, attributed to PCL and PEG segments in DPEA-PCL-PEG. The corresponding melting and crystallization temperature, and value of crystallinity are much lower than that of their individual homopolymers. The copolymer easily formed the core-shell structural nanoparticles as micelles in water with a lower critical micelle concentration of 5.524 mg l⁻¹.     

Improving MCM‐41 as a Nitrosamines Trap through a One‐Pot Synthesis

Copper oxide was incorporated into MCM‐41 by a one‐pot synthesis under acidic conditions to prepare a new mesoporous nitrosamines trap for protection of the environment. The resulting composites were characterized by XRD, N₂ adsorption–desorption, and H₂ temperature‐programmed reduction techniques, and their adsorption capabilities were assessed in the gaseous adsorption of N‐nitrosopyrrolidine (NPYR). The adsorption isotherms were consistent with the Freundlich equation. The copper salt was deposited onto MCM‐41 during the evaporation stage and was fixed on the host in the calcination process that followed. MCM‐41 was able to capture NPYR in air below 373 K but not at 453 K. Loading of copper oxide on MCM‐41 greatly improved its adsorption capability at elevated temperatures. The influence of the incorporation of copper into MCM‐41 samples and the adsorption behavior of these samples are discussed in detail.

A study of the chemiluminescence of some acidic triphenylmethane dyes

Chemiluminescence was observed when some acidic triphenylmethane dyes were oxidized with hydrogen peroxide in alkaline solution. Trace amounts of Co(II) catalysed this chemiluminescent reaction strongly, especially in the presence of the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. The chemiluminescence spectra of some compounds and the absorption spectra of some products of the chemiluminescent reactions were investigated, and some acidic triphenylmethane dyes were studied by the Hückel molecular orbital method. On the basis of these investigations, a possible mechanism for this chemiluminescent reaction, and an initial explanation for the relationship between the structure of the reagents and their chemiluminescent behaviour were proposed. The optimum conditions for use of some of the chemiluminescent reaction systems were selected by means of the modified simplex method, and a chemiluminescent analytical method for determination of ultratrace amounts of cobalt was established, with a detection limit of 5 pg/ml. It was used for analysis of natural water samples, and good results were obtained.     

Entropy-enthalpy compensations in solutions of dual character molecules with polymeric chromatographic liquid phases

Careful gas chromatographic studies provide thermodynamic data for insights into solution processes in nonvolatile solvents. Using 24 solutes and five stationary phases, several entropy-enthalpy compensation effects in the thermodynamics of solution were identified. Despite solute structure differences, when excess enthalpy and entropy of solutions were examined, entropy-enthalpy compensation effects were found in solvents dominated by single types of interaction: squalane and, to some extent, methoxy poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO). The main reason for the absence of linearity in other solvents is pure solute state interactions in the reference state and the multicharacter nature of solvents. In this study, consideration of solute state interactions was removed through examination of the thermodynamics of transfer between solvent pairs. It was found that solute transfers from squalane to poly[methyl(trifluoropropyl)siloxane] (QF-1) and to poly(methylphenyl) (DC-550) also gave linear relationships. The former system contains a second correlation for ester type solutes. The transfer data for squalane to poly(methylsiloxane) (DC-200) had smaller ranges and were more scattered. The effects of derivatizing groups on the transfer enthalpy and entropy were treated as a summation of hydrocarbon cores with the derivative groups. The group properties of transfer then also show entropy-enthalpy compensation effects. Many solution effects could be explained on the basis of solvent composition and local interactions with solutes.     

Separation and determination of biphenyl nitrile compounds by microemulsion electrokinetic chromatography with mixed surfactants

A mixture of six biphenyl nitrile compounds and three related substances with high hydrophobicity and similar structures was successfully separated by microemulsion electrokinetic chromatography (MEEKC) within 30 min. The microemulsion system contained 100 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), 80 mM sodium cholate (SC), 0.81% v/v heptane, 7.5% v/v n-butanol, 10% v/v acetonitrile, and 10 mM borate. The addition of SC, organic modifiers, sample preparation, and temperature all showed remarkable effects on the separation. The capacity factor (k) was calculated by using dodecyl benzene as the marker for microemulsion, and the calculated partition coefficient log P(o/w) of the solutes was in the range of 3.35-7.38. The log k values matched well with the log P(o/w) with a correlation coefficient of 0.96. In addition, the linear correlation coefficients of each compound between peak area and concentration were from 0.996 to 0.998 with the repeatability RSD value < 1.2% for migration time and < 4.8% for peak area, and the highest theoretic plate number was > 586000. MEEKC was compared with micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) indicating that the former method is more suitable for this separation and can be used for the quality control of biphenyl nitrile compounds in the synthesis of liquid crystals.     

Detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry: validation of a one-well assay and quantitative pooling studies

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are currently being mapped and databased at a remarkable pace, providing a viable means for understanding disease susceptibility, differential drug response and human evolution. Consequently, there is an increasing demand for SNP genotyping technologies that are simple, rapid, cost effective and readily amenable to automation for high-throughput analyses. In this study, we improved the Survivor Assay, a SNP detection method based on electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), with several developments. One improvement is the development of a one-well assay, requiring no off-line purification of the polymerase chain reaction product, achieved by simple addition of reagent solution into a single well. Another is the on-line separation of magnesium and dideoxynucleotides using an in-house made monolithic metal chelating column, eliminating any off-line sample preparation prior to mass spectrometric analysis. Here the Survivor Assay is extended from a proof-of-principle concept to a validated method by genotyping six SNPs from five different regions of human genomic DNA in 55 individual samples with 100% accuracy. This improved Survivor Assay eliminates the tedious and time-consuming steps of sample preparation, minimizes sample handing and offers a high-throughput analysis of SNPs by ESI-MS. The current combined preparation and analysis time is 2 min per sample. The simplicity of this method has potential for full automation and parallel chromatography and, thus, reduced analysis time. In addition, we have adapted the Survivor Assay for quantitative SNP analysis in pooled DNA samples. The capabilities and sensitivity of this approach were evaluated. We demonstrate that an allele occurring at a frequency of 2% can consistently be quantitated.
