<正>Poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone)(PVP)-stabilized ruthenium nanorods with high aspect ratio by refluxing ruthenium(Ⅲ) chloride in n-propanol have been successfully prepared by means of a facile and rapid microwave heating for the first time.The structure and morphology of the obtained products were characterized by transmission electron microscopy(TEM),select area electron diffraction(SAED),ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry(UV-vis),X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and Fourier transform spectroscopy(FT-IR).XPS analysis reveals that the nanorods were in the metallic state.TEM images showed that ruthenium nanorods had an obvious one-dimensional structure with the aspect ratio ranged from 5 to 40 nm and length up to 600 nm.SAED patterns indicated that the nanorods were single-crystalline with a hexagonal structure.     

Synthesis of New Ruthenium（Ⅱ）Bipyridyl Complexes and Studies on Their Photophysical and Photoelectrochemical Properties

Two new mixed-ligand ruthenium(Ⅱ） complexes,Ru(dcbpy)-(LL)NCS)2[where dcbpy=4,4‘-dicarboxyl-2,2‘‘-bipyridine,LL=4,4‘-bis(N-methyl-anilinomethyl)-2,2‘‘-bipyridine(2)],were synthesized,and the tphotophysical properties of these complexes were studied.The metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) transitions of these complexes exhibited solvatochromic effect due to the existence of NCS ligands.The MLCT energies also strongly depend on the pH values of the solutions because of protonation and deprotonation of the carboxyl groups.The pKa values of the ground state,4.0 for 1 and 3.8 for 2,were obtained from the titration curves.The photoelectrochemical properties of 1 and 2 as sensitizers in sandwich-type solar cells have been studied.Complex 1 exhibited better photoelectrochemical behavior than complex 2 as expected.It was proved that the design of mixed-ligand complex by introducing electron donating group in one of the ligands should be a promising approach.

八核茂铁-钌金属大环对钙离子的电化学和荧光识别(英)

The ruthenium unit was introduced into the redox-active molecular polygon to assembly new Ru-Fc metallocycles (Compound 1), in which the redox active (ferrocene) and fluoresecent (ruthenium) signaling subunits are directly attached by the putative cation-binding sites. The compound 1 displayed high selectivity for Ca^2 by electrochemical tests. The measurements of the fluorescence spectra on titration of 1 with Ca^2 , Li^ , Na^ , K^ , Mg^2 or Ba^2 ion indicate the unique ability of 1 to detect Ca^2 ions selectively.

Synthesis and Characterization of Heterobimetallic Zigzag Chains with a Close-packed Structure Based on Macrocyclic Metalloligands

Two new heterobimetallic coordination polymers {[Co(NiL)(H_2O)_3]·4H_2O}_n(1) and {[Cu(NiL)(H_2O)_3]·4H_2O}_n(2) were synthesized based on metalloligand under the same self-assembly conditions. X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that the two compounds involve close-packed zigzag chains, which expand into various three-dimensional supramolecular frameworks through the second interactions such as hydrogen bonds and π···π stacking interactions. In these two compounds, NiL as a bridging ligand chelates the metal ion nodes via two oxamido carbonyls and carboxylate oxygen atom. The central Co(Ⅱ) and Cu(Ⅱ) ions in 1 and 2 both exhibit distorted octahedral coordination geometry. They are bridged by macrocyclic oxamido metalloligands fusing the zigzag chains with a ‘‘head-to-tail' arrangement. The Ni(Ⅱ) ion in metalloligand is coordinated by four nitrogen atoms with the [NiN4] chromophore exhibiting distorted planarity. The two investigated compounds were further characterized by thermogravimetric analysis and FT-IR spectroscopy. The fluorescent properties of 1 and 2 in the solid state were also investigated.     

New Amphiphilic Polypyridyl Ruthenium（Ⅱ） Sensitizer and Its Application in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Amphiphilic polypyridyl mthenium（Ⅱ） complex cis-di（isothiocyanato）（4,4＇-di-tert-butyl-2,2＇-bipyridyl）（4,4＇- dicarboxy-2,2＇-bipyridyl）ruthenium（Ⅱ）（K005） has been synthesized and characterized by cyclic voltammetry, ^1H NMR, UV-Vis, and FT-IR spectroscopies. The sensitizer sensitizes TiO2 over a notably broad spectral range due to its intense metal-to-ligand charge-transfer （MLCT） bands at 537 and 418 nm. The photophysical and photochemical studies of K005 were contrasted with those of cis-Ru（dcbpy）2（NCS）2, known as the N3 dye, and the amphiphilic ruthenium（Ⅱ） dye Z907. A reversible couple at E1/2=0.725 V vs. saturated calomel electrode （SCE） with a separation of 0.08 V between the anodic and cathodic peaks, was observed due to the Ru^Ⅱ/Ⅲ couple by cyclic voltammetry. Furthermore, this amphiphilic ruthenium complex was successfully used as sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells with the efficiency of 3.72% at the 100 mW·cm^-2 irradiance of air mass 1.5 simulated sunlight without optimization of TiO2 films and the electrolyte.     

Novel Roles of Metal Ions in Layered Self-assembled Films of Polynuclear Complexes on Their Photoinduced Electron Transfer Properties

Three metal ion bridged self-assembled(SA)films of cis-di(thiocyanato)-bis(2,2'-bipyridyl-4,4'-dicarboxylate)ruthenium were fabricated and characterized by contact angle,UV spectra,cyclic voltammetry and XPS.Theirphotoinduced electron transfer properties(PETP)were examined.Among the titled systems,the highest steady an-odic photocurrent of 1773—1843 nA/cm~1 and the highest quantum yield of 3.2% were achieved.The effects of in-cident light intensity,bias voltage,and electron donor were also studied.The possible mechanism of electron trans-fer was proposed.The results reveal that different metal ion in SA films could affect significantly the photoinducedelectron transfer property.Our experimental results clearly show that bridging metal ions can play both functionaland structural roles in these self-assembled systems.This method of forming functional films can provide a new ap-proach to regulate the property of similar systems.

Methanation of carbon dioxide on Ni/ZrO2-Al2O3 catalysts:Effects of ZrO2 promoter and preparation method of novel ZrO2-Al2O3 carrier

The novel nickel-based catalysts with a nickel content of 12 wt% were prepared with the zirconia-alumina composite as the supports. The new carriers, ZrO2 improved alumina, were synthesized by three methods, i.e., impregnation-precipitation, co-precipitation, and impregnation method. The catalytic properties of these catalysts were investigated in the methanation of carbon dioxide, and the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) and temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) techniques. The new catalysts showed higher catalytic activity and better stability than Ni/γ-Al2O3. Furthermore, as a support for new nickel catalyst, the ZrO2-Al2O3 composite prepared by the impregnation-precipitation method was more efficient than the other supports in the methanation of carbon dioxide. The highly dispersed zirconium oxide on the surface of γ-Al2O3 inhibited the formation of nickel aluminate-like phase, which was responsible for the better dispersion of Ni species and easier reduction of NiO species, leading to the enhanced catalytic performance of corresponding catalyst.     

A New Solution—phase Parallel Synthesis of 2—Alkyamino—3—aryl—5—phenylmethylene—3,5—dihydro—4H—imidazol—4—ones

The structures of complexes 1 and 2 are similar. In 1, the adjacent Mn(Ⅱ) ions are connected by epda dianion to generate a 2 D(4,4) grid layer, and such 2 D layers are further connected via bibp ligand to form another layer, forming a 2 D pillared-layer. Topologically, the Mn atoms as the node are bridged by the edpa anions and bibp ligands to form a uninodal 5-connected network topology. The magnetic properties of 1 and 2 have also been-investigated, and the exchange interctions were –1.39 and –1.05 cm1, respectively. According to the crystal structures, compounds 1 and 2 were carried out by using hybrid DFT methods at the B3 LYP/6-31 G(d) level. The DFT-BS approach was applied to study the magnetic coupling behaviors for 1 and 2. The result reveals that the calculated exchange coupling constants J were in good agreement with the experimental data.
