Transference numbers of silver perchlorate in water at 25°C

The cation and anion transference numbers of aqueous silber perchlorate at 25°C have been determined by the direct moving boundary method from 0.01 to 0.2 M. The cation constituent transference numbers rise in a monotone fashion with increasing concentration contrary to the expectations, of the limiting Debye-Hückel-Onsager theory. The results can be fitted by the revised 1963 Fuoss-Onsager theory only by the assumption of unrealistically large distances of closest approach. The behavior of aqueous silver perchlorate closely parallels that of aqueous silver nitrate and suggests that some property of the silver ion is responsible.

Preparation and characterization of noble metal nanocolloids by silk fibroin <Emphasis Type="Italic">in situ</Emphasis> reduction

Noble metal nanocolloids are prepared from their precursors by in situ reduction of a silk fibroin solution at room temperature without any reducing agent. The mechanism, the effects of pH and the molar ratio of the reactants on the reduction reaction are studied by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The structure of the colloids is characterized by FT-IR, TEM and AFM. According to the TEM images, the gold-silk fibroin colloid is a nanostructured bioconjugate with novel core-shell, while the silver-silk fibroin colloid tends to be congregated as clusters having more than ten nanoparticles of silver-silk fibroin. The gold colloid is highly dispersed and stable while the silver colloid is less dispersed and stable than the gold colloid.

Anodic Oxidation of Silver Alloys in Concentrated Sulfuric Acid Solutions

Anodic oxidation of Ag–Cu and Ag–Pd alloys in concentrated sulfuric acid solutions is studied by cyclic voltammetry. Influence of electronegative (Cu) and electropositive (Pd) constituents on the rate and mechanism of the silver electrooxidation in non-steady-state conditions is revealed. The maximum silver oxidation current increases with the copper content due to a decreased H₂SO₄ concentration in the near-electrode layer and increased solubility of passivating phase Ag₂SO₄. The mechanism of ionization of palladium-doped silver is complicated by two electrochemical reactions involving the formation of Ag₂SO₄ and Ag⁺ _solv.     

New silver tellurite glasses

The glass forming ranges in the TeO₂-AgO_0.5 and TeO₂-AgO_0.5-AgI systems have been assessed for two cooling rates; results based on heat capacity and electrical conductivity measurements as well as derived from infrared spectroscopy are presented. The ternary glasses are excellent conductors due to the presence of Ag⁺ ions mainly supplied by AgI. The decrease in C _P with increasing AgI-content suggests the presence of AgI microdomains which are finely distributed and do not contribute to the configurational heat capacity change. Fast motion of Ag⁺ ions (low activation energy) occurs in the glassy matrix which shows slow structural relaxation (high activation barrier).This research is performed within the frame of a P.I.R.M.A.T. action of the CNRS.     

氢气对Ag/Al2O3和Cu/Al2O3催化剂选择性催化C3H6还原NOx反应的影响

 添加H2对Ag/Al2O3和Cu/Al2O3催化剂选择性催化C3H6还原NOx反应具有不同的影响. 原位漫反射红外光谱分析表明,在Ag/Al2O3催化剂上, H2的存在促进了C3H6部分氧化产物烯醇式物种(RCH=CH-O-)和乙酸盐等的形成,烯醇式物种和硝酸盐为主要反应中间体,二者间的相互反应性能很强,能形成高浓度的反应关键中间体异氰酸酯(-NCO)表面吸附物种,因此NOx的去除活性提高; 而在Cu/Al2O3催化剂上, H2的存在并没有促进C3H6部分氧化产物的形成,而且抑制了硝酸盐的形成,进而抑制了C3H6部分氧化产物与硝酸盐反应形成表面-NCO 物种,导致NOx的去除活性降低.

Four transition-metal carboxylate-like complexes have been synthesized from the reaction of the tertiary phosphine betaine triphenylphosphoniopropionate, Ph₃P⁺(CH₂)₂CO ₂ ^– , with Co(ClO₄)₂· 6H₂O, Cu(ClO₄)₂·6H₂O, Cu(BF₄)₂·xH₂O, and AgClO₄, respectively, and fully characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis. [CoPh₃P(CH₂)₂CO_{2 4}(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂·2H₂O, 1, space groupP¯ l witha=9.195(2),b=13.000(2),c=18.795(3) Å,=102.52(1),=90.12(1),=109.28(2)° andZ=1; [CuPh₃P(CH₂)₂CO_{2 4}][Cu₂ -Ph₃P(CH₂)₂CO₂ -O,O ₄(H₂O)₂] (ClO₄)₆· 4H₂O, 2, space groupP2_l/c witha=14.225(3),b=24.624(6),c=24.297(5) Å,=94.18(1)°, andZ=2; [CuPh₃,P(CH₂)₂CO₂Me₂N(CH₂)₂NMe₂(H₂O)₂](BF₄)₂,3, space groupP2_l/c witha=17.668(2),b=13.454(3),c=15.876(2) Å,=116.45(1)°, andZ=4; [Ag₂Ph₃P(CH₂)₂CO_{2 2}(ClO₄)]₂(ClO₄)₂,4, space groupP¯ l witha=10.925(2),b=13.110(3),c=18.795(3) Å,=82.93(3),=87.45(3),=67.49(3)°, andZ=2. In complex1, the cobalt(II) atom is located in an inversion center and coordinated by four unidentate betaine ligands and a pair oftrans aqua ligands, and strong hydrogen bonds are formed between the aqua ligands and the pendant oxygen atoms of the betaine ligands. In complex2, mononuclear and dinuclear cations coexist in the asymmetric unit. In the mixed-ligand complex3 the betaine ligand acts in the unidentate coordination mode andN,N,N,N-tetramethylethylenediamine (tmen) in the chelate mode. Complex4 contains a discrete centrosymmetric tetranuclear cations in which one pair of betaine ligands act in the bidentate bridging mode and the other in both bidentate and one-atom bridging modes.     

Complex formation of Ag+ with polyether 18-crown-6

The complex formation of Ag⁺ with polyether 18-crown-6 (18C6) and their solvation have been studied using calorimetric and potentiometric methods in H₂O-EtOH solvents in wide range of ethanol concentration. The standard enthalpies of dissolution AgNO₃, AgClO₄ and 18C6 in aqueous-ethanol solvents are obtained. The stability of a complex [Ag18C6]⁺ grows with increasing the EtOH content a solvent. Using the method based on the thermodynamic characteristics of solvation of metal-ion, ligand and complex-ion the interpretation of the results has been given. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Electrodeposition of Silver Nanoparticles on MWCNT Film Electrodes for Hydrogen Peroxide Sensing

Silver （Ag） nanoparticles were directly electrodeposited on multi-walled carbon nanotubes （MWCNT） in AgNO3/LiNO3 containing EDTA （ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid）. The structure and nature of the resulting Ag/MWNT composite were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy （FE-SEM）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM） and X-ray diffraction （XRD）, and the distribution shape of Ag nanoparticles was found to be dependent on the presence of EDTA. The modified electrode showed excellent electrocatalytic activity to redox reaction of hydrogen peroxide and the mechanism of hydrogen peroxide was partly reversible procession with oxidation and reduction peaks at 0.77 and -0.83 V, respectively. The oxidation and reduction peak currents were linearly related to hydrogen peroxide concentration in the range of 1×10^-6-3×10^-4 and 1 ×10^-8-7× 10^-4 mol·L^-1 with correlation coefficients of 0.996 and 0.986, and 3s-detection limit of 9 × 10^-7 and 7 × 10^-9 mol·L^-1.     

Adsorption of anti-human IgG to plasma-polymerized allylamine film formed on a silver plate

Increase in the sensitivity of an immunosensor or biosensor requires the immobilization of a large amount of proteins. Good materials must be developed for this protein adsorption. Allylamine thin film was formed on a flat silver plate by plasma polymerization; this plate is referred to as Ag(ALAM). Ag(ALAM) films were characterized by SEM, FT–IR and ESCA. Investigations on adsorption and desorption of F(ab')₂ anti-human IgG (hIgG) on to Ag and Ag(ALAM) revealed the following: (1) The adsorption isotherm of F(ab')₂ anti-hIgG on to AG(ALAM) or Ag was of a Langmuir type. The binding constant (K_b) and saturation binding (A_b) for this protein on to Ag(ALAM) were 8.93 l/mol and 181.8 nmol/m², respectively, and for Ag, were 7.71 l/mole and 87.9 nmol/m². (2) The extent of desorption of labeled F(ab')₂ anti-hIgG absorbed on the two plates was the same. (3) Ag(ALAM) and Ag were used as solid phases in a two-site immunoradiometric assay of human serum IgG. The dose-response on AG(ALAM) occurred at lower concentration, and was of greater magnitude than that on Ag.
