Gamma radiation induced synthesis of gold nanoparticles in aqueous polyvinyl pyrrolidone solution and its application for hydrogen peroxide estimation

Gold nanoparticles (Au nps) have been synthesized in aqueous solution of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) by gamma radiolysis from HAuCl₄·3H₂O precursor and in presence of small concentrations of Ag⁺, 2-propanol and acetone. The effect of different experimental parameters, such as concentration of reactant, molecular weight of PVP on nanoparticle formation was studied. TEM image confirmed that spherical Au nps were formed when PVP of molecular weight 360,000 Da was used as capping agent. H₂O₂ is a reactant in the enzyme catalyzed reaction of o-phenylene diamine (o-PDA). The reaction product has a weak absorption in the yellow region of the spectrum. When this product interacts with Au nps, it leads to enhancement of the absorption peak. The nanoparticles synthesized by radiation method were used for estimation of H₂O₂. The absorbance value of this peak at λ_max was observed to change with H₂O₂ concentration, which was monitored for estimation of H₂O₂. The response is linear in the range of 2.5×10⁻⁶ mol dm⁻³ to 2×10⁻⁴ mol dm⁻³ and 1×10⁻⁷ mol dm⁻³ to 3×10⁻⁶ mol dm⁻³ H₂O₂ in two separate sets of experimental parameters with detection limit 1×10⁻⁷ mol dm⁻³.

Syntheses and crystal structures of two new hydrated borates, Zn8[(BO3)3O2(OH)3] and Pb[B5O8(OH)]·1.5H2O

Two new hydrated borates, Zn₈[(BO₃)₃O₂(OH)₃] and Pb[B₅O₈(OH)]·1.5H₂O, have been prepared by hydrothermal reactions at 170 °C. Single-crystal X-ray structural analyses showed that Zn₈[(BO₃)₃O₂(OH)₃] crystallizes in a non-centrosymmetric space group R32 with a=8.006(2) Å, c=17.751(2) Å, Z=3 and Pb[B₅O₈(OH)]·1.5H₂O in a triclinic space group P1¯ with a=6.656(2) Å, b=6.714(2) Å, c=10.701(2) Å, α=99.07(2)°, β=93.67(2)°, γ=118.87(1)°, Z=2. Zn₈[(BO₃)₃O₂(OH)₃] represents a new structure type in which Zn-centered tetrahedra are connected via common vertices leading to helical ribbons _∞¹[Zn₈O₁₅(OH)₃]¹⁷⁻ that pack side by side and are further condensed through sharing oxygen atoms to form a three-dimensional _∞³[Zn₈O₁₁(OH)₃]⁹⁻ framework. The boron atoms are incorporated into the channels in the framework to complete the final structure. Pb[B₅O₈(OH)]·1.5H₂O is a layered compound containing double ring [B₅O₈(OH)]²⁻ building units that share exocyclic oxygen atoms to form a two-dimensional layer. Symmetry-center-related layers are stacked along the c-axis and held together by interlayer Pb²⁺ ions and water molecules via electrostatic and hydrogen bonding interactions. The IR spectra further confirmed the existence of both triangular BO₃ and OH groups in Zn₈[(BO₃)₃O₂(OH)₃], and BO₃, BO₄, OH groups as well as guest water molecules in Pb[B₅O₈(OH)]·1.5H₂O.     

Structural and thermal interpretation of the synergy and interactions between the fire retardants magnesium hydroxide and zinc borate

The mechanism of cooperative action of commercial fire retardants is interpreted as resulting from specific chemical reaction and phase changes. This investigation focuses on the thermally initiated interactions between two forms of commercially available fire retardant compounds. The fire performance of a polyolefin with a metal hydroxide fire retardant, magnesium hydroxide, can significantly reduce the heat release rate through absorption of heat during conversion to its metal oxide. Formation of water, followed by vaporisation, decreases heat and dilutes volatiles from polymer degradation. The second form of fire retardant compounds are zinc borates (2ZnO·3B₂O₃·3H₂O and 4ZnO·B₂O₃·H₂O), that undergo dehydration with increasing temperature. Differential thermal analysis and wide-angle X-ray spectroscopy indicated that various structural changes occurred during heating. Endothermic transitions were observed for all components, while zinc borate (2ZnO·3B₂O₃·3H₂O) showed an exothermic crystallisation transition at relatively high temperature. The exotherm was modified by the development of a new crystalline phase, magnesium orthoborate (3MgO·B₂O₃) that formed on reaction with magnesium oxide (MgO) at temperatures greater than 500 °C. Formation of crystalline zinc oxide (ZnO) was also detected. From zinc borate (4ZnO·B₂O₃·H₂O), ZnO was primarily formed. No new crystalline phases were observed in the presence of MgO over the temperature range investigated.
