The authors describe a fluorescent probe for sulfide that is based on carboxy-functionalized semiconducting polymer dots (P-dots). The dots were prepared from carboxy-functionalized poly[(9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl)-co-(1,4-benzo-2,1′-3-thiadiazole)] (referred to as COOH-PFBT) via co-precipitation. The P-dots aggregate on addition of Cu(II) ions and their green fluorescence (with excitation/emission peaks at 455/540 nm) is then quenched. Fluorescence is restored on addition of sulfide to the aggregates due to the formation of CuS. This quenching-recovery (“off-on”) mechanism forms the basis for a new sulfide detection scheme. Fluorescence increases linearly in the 1.25 to 75.0 μM sulfide concentration range, with a 0.45 μM detection limit. Good selectivity over other anions is demonstrated. The method shows recoveries ranging between 98.6% and 105.7% when applied to the determination of sulfide in spiked real water samples.
Graphical abstract Schematic of a fluorescent off-on sensor for (hydrogen) sulfide based on the use of semiconducting polymer dots (PFBT-COOH) whose fluorescene is quenched by Cu(II) ion but restored on addition of (hydrogen) sulfide.
Data on personal sun exposure over a period exceeding the immediate past days or weeks are typically self‐reported in brief questionnaire items. The validity of such self‐reporting of longer term personal sun exposure, for example over a year, including detail on variation across seasons, has not previously been investigated. In a volunteer sample (n = 331) of Australian adults aged 18 years and over, we assessed the 12‐month reliability of sun exposure reported separately for each season, and its accuracy compared to a daily sun diary in the same season. Seasonal time outdoors displayed fair‐to‐good reliability between baseline and end of study (12 months), with responses showing higher agreement at lower levels of time outdoors. There was good agreement for ranking of individuals' time outdoors with the daily sun diary data, although the actual diary time outdoors was typically considerably lower than the self‐reported questionnaire data. Place of residence, education, being a smoker, day of the week (i.e. working day vs nonworking day) and working mainly outdoors were significant predictors of agreement. While participants overestimated their actual time outdoors, the self‐report questionnaire provided a valid ranking of long‐term sun exposure against others in the study that was reliable over time. 相似文献
Two different hybrid materials composed of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) supported on either commercial niobium oxide HY 340 or mesoporous niobium oxide catalyzed the Friedel-Crafts alkylation of anisole by benzyl chloride. Excitation of the surface plasmon of the supported AuNPs allowed the reaction to occur at lower temperatures by acting as an alternative heat source. The localized heating produced via plasmon excitation permitted the acid catalyzed reaction to occur - at the Lewis acid sites on the Nb2O5 support - at 80 °C while thermal-dark reactions using a conventional heat source, required temperatures of 120 °C or higher. The catalytic activity of the tested hybrid materials decreased with storage time. However, the deactivation showed to be reversible upon lyophilisation indicating that the nature of the deactivation could be due to water adsorption. 相似文献
An air stable copper(I)-phosphole complex, [CuCl{2,5-bis(2-thienyl)-1-phenylphosphole}2] (1), was utilized as a catalyst in single and double A3-coupling reactions for preparing mono- and bi-propargylamines. A variety of aldehydes, amines and terminal alkynes were tested. Most of these reactions led to formation of the expected propargylamines in good yields using low amounts catalyst and obviating both the use of purified reagents as employ of a glovebox. 相似文献
The selenites, Na2Be3(SeO3)4 · H2O and Cs2[Mg(H2O)6]3(SeO3)4, were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. The crystal structures of Na2Be3(SeO3)4 · H2O and Cs2[Mg(H2O)6]3(SeO3)4 were determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffractions. Na2Be3(SeO3)4 · H2O crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 (no. 2) with unit cell parameters a = 4.8493(9), b = 12.013(2), c = 12.077(2) Å, and Z = 2, whereas Cs2[Mg(H2O)6]3(SeO3)4 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/m (no. 12) with lattice cell parameters a = 12.596(6), b = 7.297(4), c = 16.914(8) Å, and Z = 2. Na2Be3(SeO3)4 · H2O features a three‐dimensional open framework structure formed by BeO4 tetrahedra and SeO3 trigonal pyramids. Na cations and H2O molecules are located in different tunnels. Cs2[Mg(H2O)6]3(SeO3)4 has a structure composed of isolated [Mg(H2O)6] octahedra and SeO3 trigonal pyramids interacted by hydrogen bonds, and Cs cations are resided in‐between. Both compounds were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis and FT‐IR spectroscopy. 相似文献
We synthesized a series of novel spiro[fluorene-9, 9'-xanthene] (SFX)-based host materials via a one-step palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction. These materials have high triple energy levels and high yield, and thus can be used as hosts for blue phosphors. Blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting devices (PHOLEDs) with a bis (3, 5-difluoro-2-(2-pyridyl) phenyl-(2-carboxypyri-dyl) iridium (Ⅲ) (FIrpic) emission were fabricated. Furthermore, we applied cohosts composed of one of the new synthesized materials and the hole transport material di-[4-(N, N-ditolyl-amino)-phenyl]cyclohexane (TAPC) to the blue PHOLEDs to successfully acquire efficient blue emissions. The SFX-based material provided efficient energy transfer while TAPC improved the mobility of the cohost as well as reduced the working voltage. Maximum current efficiencies of 22.56 and 25.93 cd·A-1 and the maximum brightnesses of 6421 and 6196 cd·m-2 were obtained for the PHOLEDs with TAPC: 2-(9-phenyl-fluoren-9-yl) spiro[fluorene-9, 9'-xanthene] (PF-SFX) and TAPC: 2-(9-(4-(octyloxy)-phenyl)-9H-fluoren-9-yl) spiro[fluorene-9, 9'-xanthene] (C8OPF-SFX) cohosts, respectively. The experimental results obtained for the four SFX-based host materials were enough to declare that SFX is an effective main unit that can be used to build efficient host materials for blue phosphors containing only C, H, and O basic elements. 相似文献
In this paper, long-lived free radicals in atmospheric-pressure DBD plasma were used to treat PET yarn surface. Subsequently, the drag force of treated yarns in air flow at four humidities (40 ± 3, 50 ± 3, 60 ± 3, 70 ± 3%) was measured. The results suggest that with the increase of flow humidity, the air drag force of untreated yarn decreased while that of plasma-treated ones on average increased gradually. The average growth rates of the drag force under each humidity were 5.33, 7.58, 10.08 and 12.28% respectively. Meanwhile, the air drag force of the yarns treated at different specific input energy (SIE) densities and treatment time varied obviously under different flow humidity. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis was performed to characterize the yarn surfaces chemically. The topology and roughness of PET yarns were measured by atomic force microscopy. The tensile test was carried out to characterize the mechanical strength. The ozone, nitrate and nitrite radicals and total organic carbon in tail gas of plasma were also analyzed. The maximal atomic concentration of N element on PET surface could reach 8.0%. The obtained results can improve the understanding of the property of long-lived reactive species from DBD plasma source generated at different SIE and the difference in PET surface etching and modification during remote treatment at different SIE. Moreover, the results also provide an experimental guideline for the improvement of weaving efficiency in air-jet weaving. 相似文献
