Fast characterization of foodstuff by headspace mass spectrometry (HS-MS)

The field of the rapid characterization of products by HS-MS is reviewed. The general principle of HS-MS systems consists of introducing volatile components present in the HS of a sample without prior chromatographic separation into the ionization chamber of a mass spectrometer. The spectrum resulting from simultaneous ionization and fragmentation of the mixture of molecules introduced constitutes a “fingerprint” that is characteristic of the product being analyzed. Exploitation of this spectral information allows one determine the composition of the sample.     

Synthesis,photophysics, structure‐tunable photoluminescence,and electrochemical properties of soluble poly(p‐phenylenevinylene)‐based polymers with adjacent 1,3,4‐oxadiazoles in the backbone

Three new poly(p‐phenylenevinylene)‐based polymers containing two 1,3,4‐oxadiazole moieties in the main chain per repeat unit were synthesized by Heck coupling. A single, double, or triple bond was introduced between the oxadiazoles to provide a means for modifying the polymer properties. The polymers were readily soluble in common organic solvents and showed T_g values lower than 50 °C. The color of the emissive light in both the solid state and the solution could be tuned by a change in the nature of the bond between the oxadiazole rings. The polymers emitted ultraviolet‐green light in solution with a photoluminescence (PL) emission maximum at 345–483 nm and blue‐green light at 458–542 nm in thin films. The PL quantum yields in solution were 0.36–0.43. The electrochemical properties are affected by the nature of the bond between the oxadiazoles as well. In polymers with a single bond between the oxadiazoles, a lower ionization potential was observed than in polymers with a double or triple bond. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Electrochemical oxidation of malonic esters in acetonitrile in the presence of iodides as mediators

Electrochemical oxidation of malonic esters in acetonitrile in the presence of iodides follows two different pathways depending on the nature of the cation. In the presence of Lil, alkyl 1,1,2,2,3,3-propanetetracarboxylates were obtained in 85–98% yields. In the presence of Nal, Kl, or Bu₄NI, the formation of 1,1,2,2-ethanetetracarboxylates and their subsequent dehydrogenation to ethenetetracarboxylates was the main reaction pathway.

涂有半导体气敏薄膜的长周期光纤光栅气敏传感特性理论分析

首先利用耦合模理论研究了长周期光纤光栅LPFG折射率敏感特性,数值计算了长周期光纤光栅透射谱谐振波长与环境介质折射率的关系。其次分析了半导体氧化物气敏膜光学特性机理,当气体与薄膜接触时,气体会使敏感膜的消光系数、吸收系数和相应的折射率发生变化。基于上述两点,提出可将气敏膜涂于光栅表面,利用气敏膜的折射率随环境气体成分和浓度变化而变化的特性,从而影响LPFG透射谱谐振波长的变化,通过检测波长的变化达到探测气体成分和浓度的目的。由于长周期光纤光栅对环境介质折射率的灵敏度高于光纤,且其传感信号属于波长调制,测量信号不受光强波动及光纤损耗的影响,因此其灵敏度比强度型光纤气体传感器高。     

Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometry by Microcalorimetry for the SEM

 Analytical X-ray spectrometry for electron beam instruments has advanced significantly with the development of the microcalorimeter energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (μcal EDS). The μcal EDS operates by measuring the temperature rise when a single photon is absorbed in a metal target. A cryoelectronic circuit with electrothermal feedback and a superconducting transition edge sensor serves as the thermometer. Spectral resolution approaching 4.5 eV for high energy photons (6000 eV) and 2 eV for low energy photons below 2000 eV has been demonstrated in energy dispersive operation across a photon energy range from 250 eV to 8 keV. Spectra of a variety of materials demonstrate the power of the μcal EDS to solve practical problems while operating on a scanning electron microscope platform.
