Carboxylic‐functionalized water soluble π‐conjugated polymer: Highly selective and efficient chemosensor for mercury(II) ions

Here, we report a new carboxylic‐functionalized water soluble π‐conjugated polymer for selective detection of highly toxic Hg²⁺ in neutral pH condition. carboxylic‐functionalized thiophene containing oligophenylenevinylene was synthesized and polymerized under oxidative route to obtain water soluble polymer. Free carboxylic groups present in the π‐conjugated materials provide opportunity to use pH as external stimuli for studying secondary interaction such as hydrogen bonding and aromatic π‐stacking of the chromophores. The pH changes strongly influence on the molecular interactions in the monomer, whereas the long chain polymer was less disturbed. The polymer showed high selectivity for detecting Hg²⁺ ions compared with any other transition metal ions in water. The detection efficiency of the polymer was found almost 40 times higher than that of its monomeric unit. Stern‐Volmer constant for the Hg²⁺ ion sensing was determined through concentration dependent studies as 6.4 × 10⁵ M^?1. The carboxylic‐functionalized polymer showed reversibility in the metal‐ion detecting capabilities which was further investigated by NaCl complexation with Hg²⁺ complex. Both funneling of excitation energy to the Hg²⁺ center and also excitation energy migration through chain π‐conjugated backbone were correlated to the superior sensing characteristics of the polymer compared to its monomeric counterpart. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Hyperbranched copolymer containing triphenylamine and divinyl bipyridyl units for fluorescent chemosensors

A fluorescent hyperbranched copolymer (HTP) and a linear copolymer (PTP) as a reference sample to HTP both containing triphenylamine and divinyl bipyridyl units were synthesized via Heck coupling reaction from 5,5′‐Divinyl‐2,2′‐bipyridyl with tris(4‐bromophenyl)amine and with 4,4′‐dibromotriphenylamie, respectively. The chemical structure of HTP was confirmed by FTIR, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR. The polymer HTP had a number‐average molecular weight of 1895 and a weight‐average molecular weight of 2315, and good solubility in conventional organic solvents, such as THF, DMF, and chloroform, and exhibited good thermal stability. The UV–vis absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectra exhibited absorption maximum at 428 nm and emissive maximum at 531 nm for the HTP solution. The spectroscopic results of HTP and PTP indicated that hyperbranched conjugated structure increases the effective conjugation length, as compared with corresponding linear conjugated structure. The fluorescence of the polymer in solution can be quenched by various transition metal ions. The effect of backbone structure of the conjugated polymer‐based chemosensors on the sensitivity and selectivity in metal ions sensing have been investigated, and the quenching effect of HTP is more sensitive toward transition metal than linear copolymer PTP. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Simulation of MCAO on (extremely) large telescopes

In this article, we describe the different methods to simulate Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) systems. First, analytical (error-budget type) and semi-analytical (Fourier) methods are described. We then describe the different modules required to make end-to-end (Monte Carlo) simulations of these systems. Finally, we present some of the computational challenges associated with the simulation of MCAO on Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs). To cite this article: M. Le Louarn et al., C. R.

Experimental study of H2O spectroscopic parameters in the near-IR (6940-7440 cm) for gas sensing applications at elevated temperature

Tunable diode laser (TDL) absorption sensors of water vapor are attractive for temperature, gas composition, velocity, pressure, and mass flux measurements in a variety of practical applications including hydrocarbon-fueled combustion systems. Optimized design of these sensors requires a complete catalog of the assigned transitions with accurate spectroscopic data; our particular interest has been in the 2ν₁, 2ν₃, and ν₁+ν₃ bands in the near-IR where telecommunications diode lasers are available. In support of this need, fully resolved absorption spectra of H₂O vapor in the spectral range of 6940-7440 cm⁻¹ (1344-1441 nm) have been measured as a function of temperature (296-1000 K) and pressure (1-800 Torr), and quantitative spectroscopic parameters inferred from these spectra compared to published data from Toth, HITRAN 2000 and HITRAN 2004. The peak absorbances were measured for more than 100 strong transitions at 296 and 828 K, and linestrengths determined for 47 strong lines in this region. In addition to reference linestrengths S(296 K), the air-broadening coefficients γ_air(296 K) and temperature exponents n were inferred for strong transitions in five narrow regions, near 7185.60, 7203.89, 7405.11, 7426.14 and 7435.62 cm⁻¹ that had been targeted as attractive for future diagnostics applications. Most of the measured results, determined within an accuracy of 5%, are found to be in better agreement with HITRAN 2004 than with earlier editions of this database. Large discrepancies (>10%) between measurements and HITRAN 2004 database are identified for some of the probed transitions. These new spectroscopic data for H₂O provide a useful test of the sensor design capabilities of HITRAN 2004 for combustion and other applications at elevated temperatures.     

光纤涂敷层对光纤裂缝传感器分布式监测能力的影响

基于混凝土模型试验,对涂敷层的传感光纤的裂缝复用能力进行了定量分析,得到了传感光纤和工程结构裂缝夹角在30°,45°,60°时的复用能力与裂缝宽度的关系曲线。对由软性材料构成的光纤涂敷层来说,光纤的复用能力随涂敷层厚度的增加而增大,在与裂缝夹角成45°时,二次涂敷粗光纤的复用能力约为细光纤的5倍,表明光纤敷层对光纤裂缝监测的复用能力具有较大影响。对这种影响的机理进行了理论分析和试验研究,发现当混凝土开裂时,光纤沿混凝土界面的滑移是光纤涂敷层影响光纤裂缝复用能力的主要原因,在光纤与裂缝夹角成45°时,这一影响占60%以上。
