Neue Derivate der 2-Acylamino-thiophen-(und-benzo[b]thiophen-)-3-carbonsäure sowie des ([1]Benzo-)Thieno[2,3-d]-pyrimidin-4(3H)-ons

The title substances1 and2 were prepared by acylation of the corresponding ethyl 2-amino-thiophene- (or:-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-benzo[b]thiophene)-3-carboxylates, in some cases followed by reactions introducing a basic substituent.Additionally a group of 2-aroylamino-thiophene-(or:-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-benzo[b]thiophene)-3-carboxamides was subjected to ring closure reactions, yielding the corresponding 2-aryl-thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones and 2-aryl-[1]benzothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones (both:3).

Development of a new fluorimetric bulk optode membrane based on 2,5-thiophenylbis(5-tert-butyl-1,3-benzexazole) for nickel(II) ions

A highly sensitive and selective fluorimetric optode membrane for the determination of ultra trace amounts of Ni²⁺ ions was prepared. The plasticized PVC-membrane incorporating potassium tetrakis(p-chlorophenyl)borate (KTpClPB) and 2,5-thiophenylbis(5-tert-butyl-1,3-benzexazole) (TTBB), as a highly fluorescent chromoionophore, displays a calibration response for Ni²⁺ ions over a wide concentration range of 1.0×10⁻³ to 1.0×10⁻⁸ M. It has a relatively fast response of <40 s. In addition to high stability and reproducibility, and relatively long working lifetime, the sensor possesses good selectivity for nickel ions over several common diverse ions. The fluorescence signal of the optode membrane can be easily recovered by immersion in EDTA solution. The optode was applied successfully to the determination of traces of Ni²⁺ ion in edible oil and a wastewater sample from nickel electroplating industries.     

Fabrication and characterization of highly crystalline mordenite membranes on α-alumina disks via a seeded in situ template-free hydrothermal treatment

A template-free seeded short-time in situ hydrothermal treatment was carried out in a brass autoclave to synthesize crystalline mordenite (MOR) membranes on alumina-silicate disk supports with micro-scale pores. According to XRD analysis, MOR was the only zeolitic material present in the membrane layers on the supports. SEM examination of the membranes showed three different layers of the membrane thickness: (i) support sub-layer, (ii) mix penetrated mid-layer, the MOR crystals filling the pores among the support (about 4–5 μm), and (iii) MOR top-layer (about 4–5 μm). The crystalline bonds between MOR crystals of the membrane top-layer and the crystals of the support were clearly observed within the mid-layer. The continuous top-layer of zeolitic membrane was formed by many large and well-shaped crystals. The seeding treatment significantly enhanced the formation of MOR crystals onto the surface of the supports. EDAX analysis showed a Si/Al ratio of 6.8 for the MOR layer of the membrane. Due to their hydrophilic natures, the polycrystalline MOR membranes were found to be selective for continuous dehydration of different EtOH–water mixtures through an adsorption–diffusion–desorption mechanism. Both total permeation flux and separation factor of the membrane were found to increase by increasing temperature and water concentration of feed. The continuity and high crystallinity of the membrane top-layer led to the fairly high dehydration of EtOH. It was found that there was no pinhole within the layer and the morphology of the membrane was almost defect-free.
