Local surface plasmon resonance of single silver nanorice particles in the near-infrared

We report on the synthesis and optical spectra of silver nanorice particles. Two strong absorption bands are resolved in the near UV and near-IR region, and the dark field scattering spectra are consistent with the absorption spectra. Finite-difference time-domain simulations reveal that the peak in the IR region can be attributed to the E field that is parallel to the long axis, while the peak in the UV can be attributed to the E field perpendicular to the short axis of the silver nanorice particles.

Photophysical Properties of Metal Ion Functionalized NaY Zeolite

A series of luminescent ion exchanged zeolite are synthesized by introducing various ions into NaY zeolite. Monometal ion (Eu³⁺, Tb³⁺, Ce³⁺, Y³⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Cu²⁺) exchanged zeolite, rare‐earth ion (Eu³⁺, Tb³⁺, Ce³⁺) exchanged zeolite modified with Y³⁺ and rare‐earth ion (Eu³⁺, Tb³⁺, Ce³⁺) exchanged zeolite modified with Zn²⁺ are discussed here. The resulting materials are characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrum radiometer (FTIR), XRD, scanning electronic microscope (SEM), PLE, PL and luminescence lifetime measurements. The photoluminescence spectrum of NaY indicates that emission band of host matrix exhibits a blueshift of about 70 nm after monometal ion exchange process. The results show that transition metal ion exchanged zeolites possess a similar emission band due to dominant host luminescence. A variety of luminescence phenomenon of rare‐earth ion broadens the application of zeolite as a luminescent host. The Eu³⁺ ion exchanged zeolite shows white light luminescence with a great application value and Ce³⁺ exchanged zeolite steadily exhibits its characteristic luminescence in ultraviolet region no matter in monometal ion exchanged zeolite or bimetal ions exchanged zeolite.     

Evollionines A–C,Three New Alkaloids Isolated from the Fruits of Evodia rutaecarpa

A phytochemical study of the CHCl₃ extract of the dried unripe fruits of Evodia rutaecarpa (Juss. ) Benth. (Rutaceae) resulted in the isolation of three new alkaloids, evollionines A–C ( 1 – 3 , resp.), together with two known compounds, evodianinine and wuzhuyumide I. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated on the basis of detailed spectroscopic evidence and confirmed in the case of compound 1 by single‐crystal X‐ray analysis.

Fourteen novel nitenpyram derivatives (Z)‐4‐substituted‐3‐acetyl‐6‐methylamino ?6‐[N‐(6‐chloro‐3‐pyridinylmethyl)‐N‐ethyl]amino‐5‐nitno‐2‐oxa‐5‐hexene 4a , 4b , 4c , 4d , 4e , 4f , 4g , 4h , 4i , 4j , 4k , 4l , 4m , 4n were synthesized, and their structures were confirmed by ¹H NMR, IR, and elemental analysis. The stereostructure of 4h was determined by the single‐crystal X‐ray analysis. The preliminary bioassay tests showed that most of the title compounds exhibited good insecticide activities against Nilaparvata lugens as well as Aphis medicaginis at 500 mg/L, whereas compound 4h afforded the best activity, with 100% mortality against A. medicaginis at 100 mg/L.     

An Efficient Synthesis of Isoxazoles and Pyrazoles under Ultrasound Irradiation

A series of 5‐arylisoxazole and 5‐aryl‐1H‐pyrazole derivatives was synthesized by the reaction of 3‐(dimethylamino)‐1‐arylprop‐2‐en‐1‐one with hydroxylamine hydrochloride or hydrazine hydrate under ultrasound irradiation without using any catalyst. This method has the advantages of easier work‐up, mild reaction condition, high yields, shorter reaction time, and environmentally benign procedure.     

Synthesis and Th(IV) sorption characteristics of functionalised graphene oxide

A functionalised graphene oxide (FGO) adsorbent was prepared via the γ-radiation-induced grafting of epichlorohydrin (ECH) onto graphene oxide (GO). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that ECH was successfully introduced to the GO surface. The grafting yield of ECH increased with an increase of the irradiation dose and with a decrease of the irradiation dose rate. The sorption kinetics of Th(IV) on GO and FGO followed the pseudo-second-order model and the sorption isotherms can be described by the Langmuir model. The maximum sorption capacities of GO and FGO for Th(IV) are approximately 5.80 × 10^?4 and 2.88 × 10^?5 mol/L, respectively. GOs is considered as a kind of materials with high radiation resistance and large sorption capacities, ranking it has high potential industrial applications even under strong radiation environment. In addition, the amount of the oxygen-containing functional groups C=O and O=C–O in FGO decrease with the increase of the irradiation dose, which suggests that C=O and O=C–O contribute more than C–O to the sorption of Th(IV) onto GO and FGO.

Adsorption characteristics and radiation stability of a silica-based DtBuCH18C6 adsorbent for Sr(II) separation in HNO3 medium

A silica-based adsorbent, (DtBuCH18C6 + dodecanol)/SiO₂-P, which is used for selective separation of Sr(II) from high level liquid wastes, against temperature and gama-irradiation was investigated. The adsorption characteristics of Sr(II), Ba(II), La(III), Nd(III), Gd(III) and Dy(III) under varying nitric acid concentration at different temperatures were measured by batch method. The adsorbent showed higher distribution coefficients (K _d) for Sr(II) compared to other tested metal ions, and the K _d values of Sr(II) decreased with increasing temperature. Thermodynamic parameters of the adsorption process were calculated. The related parameters in adsorption isotherm models were obtained using a non-linear fitting. Uptake capacity from 0.38 to 0.43 mmol g^?1 was obtained for Sr(II) in the temperature range of 298–323 K by the Langmuir equation fitting. The leakage of total organic carbon was below 120 ppm at 298 K and 180 ppm at 323 K, respectively. The degradation of the adsorbent irradiated in 2 M HNO₃ was investigated. It is found that the adsorbed dose of γ-ray more than 50 KGy has a strong influence on K _d of Sr(II). The K _d values of Sr(II) decrease about 3 times ranged from 50 to 500 KGy.
