Synthesis and chelation properties of new polymeric ligand derived from 8-hydroxy-5-azoquinoline hydroxy benzene

8-Hydroxy-5-azoquinoline phenyl methacrylate-formaldehyde (8H5AQPMA-F) macromonomer was prepared from methacryloyl chloride with condensation products of 8-hydroxy-5-azoquinoline phenol-formaldehyde, and polymerized in DMF at 70 °C using benzoyl peroxide as free radical initiator. Poly(8H5AQPMA-F) was characterized by infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic techniques. Polychelates were obtained when the DMF solution of the resin containing few drops of ammonia was treated with the aqueous solution of Cu(II)/Ni(II). Elemental analysis of the polychelates indicates that the metal to ligand ratio was about 1:2. The IR spectra of polychelates suggest that the metals were coordinated through the oxygen of the phenolic-OH group and nitrogen of the quinoline ligand. The DRS and magnetic moment data indicate a square planar for Cu(II) complex whereas octahedral for Ni(II) complex. The TGA data revealed the thermal stability of the resin and the polychelates. X-ray diffraction study revealed the incorporation of the metal ions significantly enhanced the degree of crystallinity. The sorption properties of the chelate-forming resin towards various divalent metal ions [Cu(II) and Ni(II)] were studied as a function of pH and electrolyte.     

Simple diffuse reflectance UV-vis spectroscopic determination of organic pigments (fringelites) in fossils

To screen for organic pigments, like fringelites or porphyrins, in sediments and fossil specimen, a simple diffuse reflectance UV-vis spectroscopic determination was developed. In contrast to common inorganic pigments, like Fe₂O₃, these pigments exhibit well-structured characteristic absorption peaks which allow their recognition. This method was then used to identify fringelite H in a non-crinoidSolenopora species from the Jurassic. Reflectance FTIR spectroscopy proved not to be useful for this purpose.     

Direct analysis of thin-layer chromatographic spots of narcotics by means of diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy

The technique of diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (DRIFT) as an in situ detection method was used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of drugs (heroin, cocaine and codeine) separated by thin layer chromatography.It was found that at a given interferometer throughput and detector sensitivity the quality of the spectrum depends strongly in the type of the chromatographic thin layer used. A detection limit of approx. 2 g was attained on a microcrystalline cellulose thin layer with a dynamically aligned Bio-Rad Digilab FTS 60A/896 type interferometer and room temperature DTGS detector. A reliable qualitative analysis can be made with as little as 10 to 15 g drug per spot.     

Reactivity and characterisation of various rank turkish bituminous coal chars

A set of seven bituminous coal chars has been characterised by IR spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetry (TG) and elemental analysis. FTIR study provided suitable information to establish differences between coal samples according to their chemical compositions. The reactivity of these samples was also studied and correlated with the coal parameters of mean vitrinite reflectance, fuel ratio and H/C ratio. The data suggest that reactivity as determined can be correlated with the mean vitrinite reflectance, fuel ratio and H/C ratio (0.90). The order of reactivity of samples were; Amasra (S1) (R _m= 0.65)>Azdavay (S4) (R _m=0.99)»Armutcuk (S2) (R _m=0.81)»Acenta (S3) (R _m=0.92)>Ac2l2k (S6) (R _m=1.11) Cay (S5) (R _m=1.03)>Sogutozu (S7) (R _m=2.14).

Temperature and humidity aging of poly(p-phenylene-2,6-benzobisoxazole) fibers: Chemical and physical characterization

In recent years, poly(p-phenylene-2,6-benzobisoxazole) (PBO) fibers have become prominent in high strength applications such as body armor, ropes and cables, and recreational equipment. The objectives of this study were to expose woven PBO body armor panels to elevated temperature and moisture, and to analyze the chemical, morphological and mechanical changes in PBO yarns extracted from the panels. A 30% decrease in yarn tensile strength, which was correlated to changes in the infrared peak absorbance of key functional groups in the PBO structure, was observed during the 26 week elevated temperature/elevated moisture aging period. Substantial changes in chemical structure were observed via infrared spectroscopy, as well as changes in polymer morphology using microscopy and neutron scattering. When the panels were removed to an ultra-dry environment for storage for 47 weeks, no further decreases in tensile strength degradation were observed. In a follow-on study, fibers were sealed in argon-filled glass tubes and exposed to elevated temperature; less than a 4% decrease in tensile strength was observed after 30 weeks, demonstrating that moisture is a key factor in the degradation of these fibers.

Ag／Al2O3选择性催化丙烯还原氮氧化物表面反应机理的原位红外光谱研究

 在富氧条件下Ag／Al2O3对以丙烯为还原剂选择性催化还原NOx的反应有很高的催化活性．本实验成功地利用原位红外光谱分析手段,在真实的催化反应条件下,探讨了丙烯选择性还原NOx的反应机理,证实了催化剂表面反应中间体Al－NCO和Ag－NCO虽在真空中稳定,但在实际反应条件下极为活泼．催化剂表面上R－ONO和R－NO2分解成NCO是整个反应的速度控制步骤．这一结论与在真空系统条件下对其反应机理的研究结果一致,证明了在这一反应体系中两种研究方法的相关性．同时本实验还从反应机理上探讨了催化剂的水蒸气中毒现象．水蒸气的存在阻碍了催化剂表面R－ONO和R－NO2的生成,并进一步阻碍了反应的速度控 制步骤,即R－ONO和R－NO2向Al－NCO和Ag－NCO的转化,但这是一种完全可逆的暂时中毒现象．结合相应的催化剂活性评价结果对表面反应机理进行了讨论．     

Oxyreactive thermal analysis

The paper presents the applicability of Oxyreactive Thermal Analysis (OTA) for the investigation of different kinds of carbon matter. For comparative reasons and more precise interpretation, along with OTA some physico-chemical properties of analyzed materials were used as the methods commonly applied for the investigations. The carbon materials of both natural (anthracites, graphite and diamonds) and synthetic origin (active carbon, glass carbon, expanded graphite, soot and synthetic diamonds) were investigated. It was stated that there is close relationship between structure parameters and physico-chemical properties and the thermal reactivity within the investigated groups of carbon matters. The results show that OTA can be accepted as a good investigative way for such materials. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Photocatalytic Reduction of NO with C2H6 on a Hollandite-Type Catalyst

The photocatalytic reduction of nitrogen monoxide (NO) with ethane on the hollandite type catalyst (K₂Ga₂Sn₆O₁₆KGSO) was investigated. Using a closed-gas circulating system equipped with a Q-MASS detector and in-situ diffuse reflectance FT-IR spectroscopy. The reactant gases of NO and ¹³C₂H₆ decreased with the increasing irradiation time. In contrast, the N₂ yield increased proportionally to the conversion of ¹³C₂H₆. Nitrogen oxides such as N₂O did not reach their detectable levels. The NO adsorbed on KGSO was found to change to its activated species by UV irradiation. The oxidized products of C₂H₆ such as CH₃CHO increased in proportion to the reaction time. The present results strongly suggest that KGSO has remarkable photocatalytic activity for the reduction of NO with C₂H₆.
