A novel approach for preparing silver nanoparticles under electron beam irradiation

Silver (Ag) nanoparticles were obtained when Ag microparticles were exposed to an electron beam in a transmission electron microscope (TEM). Results from TEM characterization indicated that the morphologies of the prepared Ag nanoparticles were quasi-circular, and the sizes were mainly in the range of 5–60 nm. The effect of irradiation time (t) on size and distribution of Ag nanoparticles was investigated. It was found that the sizes of Ag nanoparticles increased with the increase of t. The bigger Ag nanoparticles were near the Ag microparticle and the smaller ones were far from it. In addition, these Ag nanoparticles were monodisperse. This approach offered a new route for preparing Ag nanoparticles under electron beam irradiation, and the forming process of Ag nanoparticles was explained by the nucleation-growth mechanism.

Divergent reaction pathways for one-pot,three-component synthesis of novel 4H-pyrano[3,2-h]quinolines under ultrasound irradiation

The present paper deal with the multi-component condensation of 8-hydroxy quinoline, aromatic aldehydes, and sulfone derivatives catalyzed by p-toluenesulfonic acid for the synthesis of a series of 4H-pyrano[3,2-h]quinoline derivatives in ethanol under ultrasonic irradiations. We provide a series of quinoline derivatives containing sulfone moiety interesting for biological screening tests. The reactions were carried out under both conventional and ultrasonic irradiation conditions. In general, improvement in rates and yields were observed when reactions were carried out under sonication compared with classical silent conditions. Also, also, sonochemical reaction give different reaction pathway other than silent reaction. These remarkable effects appeared in sonicated reactions can be reasonably interpreted in terms of acoustic cavitation phenomenon. Structures of the products were established on analytical and spectral data.

Photophysical characterization of pyrazino[2,3-c]-1,2,6-thiadiazine 2,2-dioxides in DMSO and acetonitrile solutions

Photophysical characterization of some pyrazino[2,3-c][1,2,6]thiadiazine 2,2-dioxides derivatives in DMSO and acetonitrile has been carried out. Acid-base processes have been found to occur in the ground and excited states. In DMSO and acetonitrile equilibrium between the neutral and deprotonated molecules is established in the ground state. In acetonitrile, a second equilibrium between the neutral and protonated form is also present at a lower pH, and can be treated independently of the first one. Absorption, emission, and excitation spectra of the species involved have been measured; data analysis allows us to calculate pK _aand quantum efficiencies. The change of the decay lifetimes with pH, along with steady state fluorescence measurements show the existence of communication between the excited states and enable us to estimate the excited state kinetic rate constants.A discussion about their possible use as laser dyes based on the energy threshold condition is also given.

A novel method for preparing lithium manganese oxide nanorods from nanorod precursor

Lithium manganese oxide nanorods were prepared from manganese dioxide nanorods precursor. The structure and morphology were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The data of the Rietveld refinement indicate that the nanorods preferentially grow along the [111] direction. After charge–discharge test at 1.0 mA cm⁻² in 3.0–4.4 V, the nanorods LiMn₂O₄ showed the 134.5 mAh g⁻¹ initial discharge capacity and only lost 1.1% of initial capacity after 30 cycles, which is better than that of bulk particles LiMn₂O₄ prepared by traditional solid-state reaction method. This effective and simple route to synthesis nanorods LiMn₂O₄ from one-dimensional (1D) precursor could also be extended to prepare 1D other nanomaterials with special electrochemical properties.
