Raman Spectroscopic Studies on the Complexation and Adsorbed Behaviour of Thiourea

Raman spectroscopic studies on thiourea (TU) in highly acidic media (e. g. >3 mol/L HC1O4) show that TU as a solution species is protonated through its sulphur atom and forms complex with anions. However, as an adsorbed species, TU is protonated via the nitrogen atom and adsorbed at the silver electrode surface through the sulphur atom. The distinct effects of pH and anions of the solution on the surface enhanced Raman (SER) spectra of TU were investigated. In acidic and neutral solutions, TU is coadsorbed with anions through its NH3 and - NH2 groups respectively.

A Density Functional Study of Small Tungsten Clusters Adsorbed on the MgO(001) Surface

Metal atoms, clusters, and thin films supported on surfaces of metal oxides have attracted a lot of attention not only due to the fundamental interest in the basic nature of metal-oxide interfaces, but also because of their numerous practical applications in catalysis, microelectronics, as coatings for corrosion protection and gas-sensors^[1,2]. In this paper, adsorption of tungsten clusters W_n (n=l-4) on the ideal MgO(001) surface has been studied computationally at the density functional (DF) level of theory with the help of a scalar-relativistic variant of the linear combination of Gaussian-type. orbitals density functional method (LCGTO-DF)^[3] as implemented in the program PARAGAUSS for parallel computing^[4]. Stucture and energetic features of the adsorption complexes W_n/MgO(001) have been analyzed. The gradient-corrected Becke-Perdew functional was used self-consistently. Spin-polarized calculations were performed in order to account for the possible open-shell nature of the metal clusters.     

水蒸汽在Pd表面吸附的热力学

用密度泛函方法和相对论有效原子实势分别对PdOH2、PdOH 及PdO 的几何构型进行了优化, 得到PdOH2分子为Cs构型, Pd 与H2O 分子不在同一平面, RPdO=0.2283 nm; PdOH 分子为2A'态, RPdO=0.1965 nm, ROH=0.0968 nm, ∠PdOH=110.186°; PdO分子基态为3Π, RPdO=0.1858 nm. 根据电子-振动近似理论计算了不同温度下金属Pd与H2O、OH及游离态O原子反应的生成热力学函数, 导出了反应平衡压力随温度的变化关系, 分析认为水蒸汽引起Pd合金膜中毒是由于H2O分子的离解产物OH和O原子吸附在膜表面所致.

探求全氟羧酸(Perfluorinated Carboxylic Acids,PFCAs)的降解方法及其降解机理是当前亟待解决的问题.基于密度泛函理论的Materials Studio(MS)程序包中的CASTEP计算程序,优化了锐钛矿TiO2(101),(001),(110),(210);金红石TiO2(110),(001),(101),(210)和板钛矿TiO2(210),(101),(001),(110)晶面的几何结构,结果发现锐钛矿(101)晶面、金红石(110)晶面和板钛矿(210)晶面的能量最低,为最稳定的吸附面.对在最稳定三种TiO2吸附面上吸附三氟乙酸(Trifluoroacetic Acid,TFA)的18种吸附方式优化结构的吸附能计算表明,TFA被垂直吸附在板钛矿型TiO2(210)表面且羧基端H被Ti原子吸附的吸附方式吸附能最大,吸附结构最稳定,为TFA在TiO2表面吸附的最佳方式.分态密度计算表明,板钛矿(210)面与TFA间存在弱的共价相互作用,吸附后其表面结构的带隙因TFA中的O和F的2p轨道进入,带隙由吸附前的3.06 eV降低到吸附后的2.80 eV,光催化吸收波长由吸附前的385 nm增加到吸附后的443 nm,提高了可见光的吸收效率.     

From Atomistic Surface Chemistry to Nanocrystals of Functional Chalcogenides

Synthesis and utilization of nanocrystals are highly active fields of current research, but they require a thorough understanding of the underlying crystal surfaces. In this Minireview, we span the arc from surfaces to free nanocrystals, and onward to their chemical synthesis, using as examples lead selenide (PbSe), tin telluride (SnTe), and their direct chemical relatives. Besides experimental insights, we highlight the increasingly influential role played by quantum‐chemical simulations of surfaces and nanocrystals. What can theory do today, or possibly tomorrow; where are its limits? Answering these questions, and skillfully linking them to experiments, could open up new atomistically (that is, chemically) guided perspectives for nanosynthesis.

Modulation of Hydrophobic Interaction by Mediating Surface Nanoscale Structure and Chemistry,not Monotonically by Hydrophobicity

The hydrophobic (HB) interaction plays a critical role in many colloidal and interfacial phenomena, biophysical and industrial processes. Surface hydrophobicity, characterized by the water contact angle, is generally considered the most dominant parameter determining the HB interaction. Herein, we quantified the HB interactions between air bubbles and a series of hydrophobic surfaces with different nanoscale structures and surface chemistry in aqueous media using a bubble probe atomic force microscopy (AFM). Surprisingly, it is discovered that surfaces of similar hydrophobicity can show different ranges of HB interactions, while surfaces of different hydrophobicity can have similar ranges of HB interaction. The increased heterogeneity of the surface nanoscale structure and chemistry can effectively decrease the decay length of HB interaction from 1.60 nm to 0.35 nm. Our work provides insights into the physical mechanism of HB interaction.

Influence of Substituents and Functional Groups on the Surface Composition of Ionic Liquids

We have performed a systematic study addressing the surface behavior of a variety of functionalized and non‐functionalized ionic liquids (ILs). From angle‐resolved X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, detailed conclusions on the surface enrichment of the functional groups and the molecular orientation of the cations and anions is derived. The systems include imidazolium‐based ILs methylated at the C2 position, a phenyl‐functionalized IL, an alkoxysilane‐functionalized IL, halo‐functionalized ILs, thioether‐functionalized ILs, and amine‐functionalized ILs. The results are compared with the results for corresponding non‐functionalized ILs where available. Generally, enrichment of the functional group at the surface is only observed for systems that have very weak interaction between the functional group and the ionic head groups.     

Aggregation of the Adsorbed Proteins—in Solution or on the Surface？

The adsorption of bovine serum albumin(BSA) on porous polyethylene(PE) membrane was studied based on adsorption and desorption measurements as well as FTIR analysis.

Structural and energy characteristics of the surface affect significantly the value of the disjoining pressure. Among the surface structural characteristics, the important role is played by the number and localization of vacancy-type defects.

Engineering Substrate Topography at the Micro‐ and Nanoscale to Control Cell Function

The interaction of mammalian cells with nanoscale topography has proven to be an important signaling modality in controlling cell function. Naturally occurring nanotopographic structures within the extracellular matrix present surrounding cells with mechanotransductive cues that influence local migration, cell polarization, and other functions. Synthetically nanofabricated topography can also influence cell morphology, alignment, adhesion, migration, proliferation, and cytoskeleton organization. We review the use of in vitro synthetic cell–nanotopography interactions to control cell behavior and influence complex cellular processes, including stem‐cell differentiation and tissue organization. Future challenges and opportunities in cell–nanotopography engineering are also discussed, including the elucidation of mechanisms and applications in tissue engineering.     

Influence of Rigid Side Chain Attraction on Stiffness and Conformations of Comb Copolymer Brushes Strongly Adsorbed on a Flat Surface

The influence of side‐chain attraction on the conformational properties of two‐dimensional polymer brushes with rigid side chains is investigated using Monte Carlo simulations. Using a rigid backbone, a characteristic interaction strength is determined by investigating the critical interaction energy for the collapse of the side chains onto the backbone. For a flexible backbone, the persistence length of the backbone is found to decrease with increasing attraction, irrespective of whether side‐chain flipping is allowed or not. This result is in good agreement with the theoretical modeling presented before. If side‐chain flipping is allowed, the attraction between the side chains leads to aggregation of successive side chains at one side of the backbone resulting in a characteristic local spiraling of the backbone.
