A Study of Spectroscopy on TCAQ Microcrystal

UV-visible absorption spectra of 11,11,12,12-tetracyano-9,10-anthraquinodimethane (TCAQ) solution, crystal and evaporated film were, measured. The absorption spectrum of TCAQ solution in DMF had three bands at 287 nm(4.45), 310 nm(4.23) and 350 nm(4.38) respectively; that of evaporated films had one band at 370 nm and that of crystalline powder had four bands at 243 nm, 275 nm, 320 nm and 430 nm respectively. Surface photovoltage spectra of TCAQ microcrystal gave two bands at P₁ (320 nm) and P₂ (430 nm) respectively. The absorption bands were assigned and the energy levels of frontier orbitals were tentatively determined. In addition,the mechanism of hole, production and transportation in crystalline TCAQ was discussed.

Red to blue tunable upconversion in Tm3+-doped ZrO2 nanocrystals

The effect of dopant concentration on the blue upconversion (UPC) emission of Tm(3+) -doped ZrO(2) nanocrystals under different excitation wavelengths in the red region is reported. The UPC emissions are due to the f-f electronic transitions from excited states (1)G(4) and (1)D(2) of Tm(3+). We observed a chromatic change in the UPC with tuning the excitation wavelength. The UPC emission bands at 475, 488, and 501 nm are observed under excitation at 649 nm, but bands centered at 454 and 460 nm are observed when the excitation wavelength is tuned to 655 nm. The UPC emission could be tuned from 501 to 454 nm ( approximately 47 nm) by changing the excitation wavelength from 649 to 655 nm ( approximately 6 nm). The pump power dependence of the emission bands at 475, 488, and 501 nm were investigated on excitation intensity at 649 nm, and the emission bands at 454 and 460 nm are investigated on excitation intensity at 655 nm, which confirms that all of these UPC emission lines are a two-photon absorption process.     

Luminescence effect of silver nanoparticle in water phase

Yellow silver nanoparticles in water phase were prepared by microwave synthesis method. Study found that there is a fluorescence peak at 465 nm and a strongest resonance scattering peak at 460 nm for the nanoparticles. The resonance scattering intensity at 465 nm I(460 nm). fluorescence intensity at 465 nm F(465)(nm) and absorbance at 455 nm A(455 nm) were found linear to the concentration c(Ag) in the range from 0 to 3.5x10(-4)mol/L Ag, with linear regression equation for I(460 nm)=48.1x10(4) c(Ag)+3.69 and F(465 nm)=28.7x10(4)c(Ag)+3.50 and A(455 nm)1.23x10(4)c(Ag)+0.01, their regression coefficient for 0.9976, 0.9954 and 0.9957, respectively. When the c(Ag) was over 3.5x10(-4)mol/L, the resonance scattering peak and fluorescence peak of 465 nm take place red-shift and display luminescence quenching, but the absorption peak place does not change and the absorption intensity enhances. The paper reports the spectral properties of silver nanoparticles in water phase, and offers the principle of interface luminescence electron to state the luminescence effect of silver nanoparticles.     

LETHAL AND MUTAGENIC ACTION OF VACUUM-AND FAR-ULTRAVIOLET RADIATIONS ON DRY X174 PHAGE

Killing and mutation of dry X174 phages (amber mutant) were investigated with vacuum-UV (130, 150 and 190 nm) and far-UV (254 nm) radiations. The sensitivity to killing was greatest at 130 nm; the sensitivity (in terms of energy fluence) at 130 nm was about 17 times higher than that at 150 nm. The reversion frequency of amber mutants to pseudo-wild type at 190 nm was lower than at 254 nm. Comparison of the induction rate of revertants per survivor showed that mutagenicity after 130 nm radiation, which may raise the ionization process, and after X-rays was similar.     

Provenance study of volcanic glass using 266–1064 nm orthogonal double pulse laser induced breakdown spectroscopy

Double pulse laser induced breakdown spectroscopy in orthogonal configuration was used for the analysis of twelve samples of volcanic glass. Raw material and artifact samples originated from Czech, Slovak, German, Hungarian, Greek, Turkish, and Ukrainian sites. The primary 266 nm laser beam was focused onto a sample area of about 0.1 mm in diameter at the optimised energy of 10 mJ resulting in only very slight sample damage, almost unrecognizable even by a microscope. The secondary 1064 nm laser beam, positioned parallel to the sample surface and focused onto the intersection with the primary beam, induced a spark with enhanced radiation at the optimised energy of 100 mJ. Measurement of emission lines selected on basis of chemical composition, signal intensity, signal-to-background ratio, and minimum interference from the surrounding spectra: Si(I) 288.16 nm, Mg(II) 279.55 nm, 280.27 nm, Mg(I) 285.21 nm, Ca(II) 317.93 nm, Na(I) 589.59 nm, Al(I) 308.22 nm, Fe(II) 259.94 nm, Ti(II) 334.94 nm, Sr(II) 407.77 nm, Ba(II) 455.40 nm, K(I) 769.90 nm, provided experimental data sufficiently sensitive to differentiate the properties of the studied samples. Rare earth elements were not detected even though the double pulse technique is more sensitive than the single pulse variant. Visualisation methods of multidimensional statistical analyses such as radar chart, Chernoff faces, scatterplots, and the Spearman correlation matrix provided successful differentiation of the sample groups and/or particular samples by their origin.

The crystal structures of the title compound (Ⅰ) and (Ⅱ) have been determined by X-ray diffraction.

Vapochromic and mechanochromic phosphorescence materials based on a platinum(II) complex with 4-trifluoromethylphenylacetylide

Planar platinum(II) complex Pt(Me(3)SiC≡CbpyC≡CSiMe(3))(C≡CC(6)H(4)CF(3)-4)(2) (6) with 5,5'-bis(trimethylsilylethynyl)-2,2'-bipyridine and 4-trifluoromethylphenylacetylide exhibits remarkable luminescence vapochromic and mechanochromic properties and a thermo-triggered luminescence change. Solid-state 6 is selectively sensitive to vapors of oxygen-containing volatile compounds such as tetrahydrofuran (THF), dioxane, and tetrahydropyrane (THP) with phosphorescence vapochromic response red shifts from 561 and 608 nm to 698 nm (THF), 689 nm (dioxane), and 715 nm (THP), respectively. Upon being mechanically ground, desolvated 6, 6·CH(2)Cl(2), and 6·(1)/(2)CH(2)ClCH(2)Cl exhibit significant mechanoluminescence red shifts from 561 and 608 nm to 730 nm, while vapochromic crystalline species 6·THF, 6·dioxane, or 6·THP affords a mechanoluminescence blue shift from 698 nm (THF), 689 nm (dioxane), or 715 nm (THP) to 645 nm, respectively. When the compounds are heated, a thermo-triggered luminescence change occurs, in which bright yellow luminescence at 561 and 608 nm turns to red luminescence at 667 nm with a drastic red shift. The multi-stimulus-responsive luminescence switches have been monitored by the changes in emission spectra and X-ray diffraction patterns. Both X-ray crystallographic and density functional theory studies suggest that the variation in the intermolecular Pt-Pt interaction is the key factor in inducing an intriguing luminescence switch.

Molecular Oxygen as Mediator in the Metal Nanoparticles’ Electrosynthesis in <Emphasis Type="Italic">N,N</Emphasis>-Dimethylformamide

Ultra-fine gold (<2 nm), silver (5 ± 2 nm), and palladium (<1–2 nm) nanoparticles stabilized in polyvinylpyrrolidone shell were synthesized in N,N-dimethylformamide, using molecular oxygen dissolved in the electrolyte as mediator, by the reduction of the metals’ ions and complexes at the controlled potential of the oxygen reduction to its radical-anion. Pd-nanoparticles showed high catalytic activity in the reactions of p-nitrophenol reduction and Suzuki cross-coupling. Long-term ageing of spherical Ag-nanoparticles for 60 days in the post- electrolysis solution resulted in their consolidation (up to 17 ± 5 nm; the average size of crystallites 7.5 (3) nm). Upon similar exposure of Au-nanoparticles for 15 days, V-shaped nanoparticles were formed (length 112 ± 53 nm, width 58 ± 22 nm, crystallites 20(2)–31(1) nm); upon the isolation, dispersing into ethanol, and exposure for 48 h, hexagonal nanoparticles (105 ± 29 nm) and polygons (56 ± 25 nm, crystallites 24(2)–51(1) nm; upon dispersing into water and exposure for 8 h, spherical nanoparticles (13 ± 8 nm, crystallites 7(1)–13.4(5) nm). Thus obtained nanoparticles are characterized by methods of cyclic voltammetry, dynamic light scattering, scanning and high resolution transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray powder diffraction.     

Determination of fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine by barrier discharge radiofrequency helium plasma.

A determination method of fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br) and iodine (I) by a barrier discharge radiofrequency helium plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy was developed. A borosilicate glass was wrapped by two copper film electrodes, one of which was earthed, and the other was supplied with a radiofrequency high voltage (98 kHz, 3.2 kV), resulting in a discharge inside of the tube. An optical emission from the discharge tube was introduced to a charge-coupled device (CCD)-spectrometer through an optical fiber, and was monitored in the wavelength range of 730-960 nm. The emission lines of F (733.2 nm, 739.9 nm), Cl (833.3 nm, 837.6 nm, 858.6 nm, 894.8 nm, 912.1 nm, etc.), Br (827.2 nm, 882.5 nm, 889.8 nm, 926.5 nm, etc.) and I (905.8 nm) were observed. The linearity of the calibration was determined for F and Cl over the range of 1-10 microg, and for Br of 0.1-1 microg. The relative emission intensity was in the order of Br > I > Cl >F.     

WAVELENGTH-DEPENDENT PROPERTIES OF PHOTOTAXIS IN LARVAE OF Bombyx mori

Phototactic responses of newly hatched silkworm larvae to monochromatic lights and their mixtures were measured to determine wavelength-dependent properties. Each fluence rate-response curve for a monochromatic light was composed of a log-linearly increasing part, a plateau and a decreasing part. Curves were classified into two groups according to the slopes of the linear parts: responses to UV-blue light (364-482 nm) and responses to green-red light (513-681 nm). Different plateau values were found for both groups. The action spectrum had its maximum at 557 nm and showed another large value at about 364 nm, and its minimum was at 447 nm. When green-orange lights (540-577 nm) were added to 557 nm, the silkworms were attracted more by the mixed lights than by the 557 nm component light only. Mixed lights of UV (364 nm) and blue (447 nm) attracted the silkworms more than either component. The magnitude of the response decreased remarkably when green light was mixed with U V or blue light. We conclude that the silkworm possesses colour vision and responds differently to green-red lights (≥ 513 nm) from UV-blue lights (≲ 482 nm).     

Synthesis and electroluminescent properties of naphthalimide derivatives

Naphthalimide derivatives, N-ethyl-4-acetylamino-l ,8-naphthalimide (EAAN) and polymer with N-propyl-4-acetylamino-l,8-naphthalimide (PAAN) side-chain (P-PAAN) were successfully synthesized. Electroluminescent devices of ITO/PVK(120nm)/EAAN(50nm)/Al(150nm) (Ⅰ) and ITO/PVK P-PAAN( 10:1) (50nm)/Al(150nm) (Ⅱ) constructed with EAAN and P-PAAN as the emitting layer were investigated, whereas the single-layer devices of ITO/EAAN or P-PAAN(50nm)/Al(l50nm) (Ⅲ) were not observed to have any e-mission light. The emission results revealed that the exciton recombination formed by positive and negative charge carriers injected from electrodes of devices Ⅰ and Ⅱ was much more balanced than that of devices Ⅲ, which implied that naphthalimide derivatives are a new type of electron-transporting materials with high performance. The electron-transporting properties of naphthalimide derivatives were also elucidated by investigation of the electroluminescent behaviors from both devices of ITO/PPV (80nm)/Al and ITO/P

Synthesis and characterization of enzyme-magnetic nanoparticle complexes: effect of size on activity and recovery

The influence of particle size on the activity and recycling capabilities of enzyme conjugated magnetic nanoparticles was studied. Co-precipitation and oxidation of Fe(OH)(2) methods were used to fabricate three different sizes of magnetic nanoparticles (5 nm, 26 nm and 51 nm). Glucose oxidase was covalently bound to the magnetic nanoparticles by modifying the surfaces with 3-(aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) and a common protein crosslinking agent, glutaraldehyde. Analysis by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) showed that the morphology of the magnetic nanoparticles to be spherical and sizes agreed with results of the Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET) method. Magnetic strength of the nanoparticles was analyzed by magnetometry and found to be 49 emu g(-1) (5 nm), 73 emu g(-1) (26 nm), and 85 emu g(-1) (51 nm). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed each step of the magnetic nanoparticle surface modification and successful glucose oxidase binding. The immobilized enzymes retained 15-23% of the native GOx activity. Recycling stability studies showed approximately 20% of activity loss for the large (51 nm) and medium (26 nm) size glucose oxidase-magnetic nanoparticle (GOx-MNP) bioconjugate and about 96% activity loss for the smallest GOx-MNP bioconjugate (5 nm) after ten cycles. The bioconjugates demonstrated equivalent total product conversions as a single reaction of an equivalent amount of the native enzyme after the 5th cycle for the 26 nm nanoparticles and the 7th cycle for the 51 nm nanoparticles.

Evidence from action and fluorescence spectra that UV-induced violet-blue-green fluorescence enhances leaf photosynthesis

We assessed the contribution of UV-induced violet-blue-green leaf fluorescence to photosynthesis in Poa annua, Sorghum halepense and Nerium oleander by measuring UV-induced fluorescence spectra (280-380 nm excitation, 400-550 nm emission) from leaf surfaces and determining the monochromatic UV action spectra for leaf photosynthetic O2-evolution. Peak fluorescence emission wavelengths from leaf surfaces ranged from violet (408 nm) to blue (448 nm), while excitation peaks for these maxima ranged from 333 to 344 nm. Action spectra were developed by supplementing monochromatic radiation from 280 to 440 nm, in 20 nm increments, to a visible nonsaturating background of 500 mumol m-2 s-1 photosynthetically active radiation and measuring photosynthetic O2-evolution rates. Photosynthetic rates tended to be higher with the 340 nm supplement than with higher or lower wavelength UV supplements. Comparing photosynthetic rates with the 340 nm supplement to those with the 400 nm supplement, the percentage enhancement in photosynthetic rates at 340 nm ranged from 7.8 to 9.8%. We suspect that 340 nm UV improves photosynthetic rates via fluorescence that provides violet-blue-green photons for photosynthetic energy conversion because (1) the peak excitation wavelength (340 nm) for violet-blue-green fluorescence from leaves was also the most effective UV wavelength at enhancing photosynthetic rates, and (2) the magnitude of photosynthetic enhancements attributable to supplemental 340 nm UV was well correlated (R2 = 0.90) with the apparent intensity of 340 nm UV-induced violet-blue-green fluorescence emission from leaves.
