Aminopolycarboxylates of rare earths—VII: Effect of complex-formation on the 4f-5d transitions of Ce3+ and Tb3+ ions

The absorption bands of aminopolycarboxylate complexes of Ce³⁺ and Tb³⁺ ions due to 4f-5d electron transitions are shifted from the aquo ion values. The Ce³⁺ bands shift in the red direction, this shift increasing almost linearly with increase in the number of functional groups on the ligand up to about 8–9; further increase leads to a decrease. The bands of the smaller Tb³⁺ ion shift in the same direction, but the direction of the shift changes with more than 6 functional groups. These changes are interpreted as consequent ion increases in the metal ion-donor atom bond distances as a result of steric hindrance and repulsion between the functional groups.     

Inter-conversion of Tb3+ and Tb4+ states and its fluorescence properties in MO–Al2O3: Tb (M = Mg,Ca, Sr,Ba) phosphor materials

Terbium ion doped MO–Al₂O₃ (M = Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba) series phosphors have been synthesized through combustion technique and their luminescence properties have been studied and compared. Terbium ion in different phosphors has shown different fluorescence properties due to the presence of different ratios of Tb³⁺ and Tb⁴⁺ states in different samples. The UV/Visible absorption and XPS techniques have been used to probe the existence of Tb³⁺ and Tb⁴⁺ states. The host sensitive 4f–5d and the charge transfer transitions enabled the use of terbium ion as an indicator of the structure.

ZnO-P2O5:Tb3+玻璃的热释光研究

采用高温熔融法制备了ZnO-P2O5：Tb^3＋玻璃,并以热释光为手段,研究了基质组成、Tb^3＋掺杂浓度、熔制气氛、Tb^3＋与其他稀土离子共掺等因素对ZnO-P2O5：Tb^3＋玻璃的发光中心、陷阱浓度及陷阱能级分布的影响。结果表明：ZnO含量的增加,使得与Zn^2＋配位的氧空位的数量增多,导致50-150℃低温区对应的陷阱浓度增加;还原气氛下,Tb^3＋掺杂后,一方面形成发光中心使得热释光强度提高,另一方面,可能由于不等价取代基质中的Zn^2＋离子产生新的缺陷使得陷阱能级加深;空气气氛下,大部分Tb^3＋被氧化成Tb^4＋,发光中心浓度降低;Ce^3＋,Eu^3＋,Dy^3＋,Nd^3＋,Pr^3＋和Er^3＋与Tb^3＋共掺时,陷阱能级深度与陷阱中心的电荷密度发生了不同程度的变化。     

Site-selective spectroscopy in Eu3+ doped α-cordierite

The location of Eu³⁺ in α-cordierite, synthesized by a sol-gel route, was investigated by using both site-selective spectroscopy and time-resolved spectroscopy. ⁷F₀ → ⁵D_1,2 excitation and ⁵D₀ → ⁷F_0,1,2 emission spectra were performed at 77 K. The Eu³⁺ ions are distributed in two families : the A family in the structure channels and the B family at (4c) position of D_2h¹⁶ in substitution for Mg²⁺ Four B sub-families were characterized and understood as a difference at the second neighbours, i.e., the four possible occupations of the surrounding tetrahedra by Al and Si. The A family was characterized by anomalous spectra: strong ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₀ transition, high position of the ⁵D₀, ⁵D₁ and ⁵D₂ levels and very large ⁷F_1,2 splittings. By comparison with Eu-doped apatites, in which similar features occur, a predominant Eu-O bonding of covalent character with one of the oxygen ions bordering the channel was assumed. When the annealing temperature increases, Eu³⁺ ions migrate from the channel to the (4c) position.

Quantum-chemical calculations of a proposed PHEn-HISn+4 stabilizing interaction in peptide α-helices

The interaction between the sidechains of the Phe (n) and His (n+4) which has been proposed as a stabilizing effect for α-helix formation has been modelled by means of totuene: 4-Me-imidazole. Intermolecular potentials and their extrema are calculated at several degrees of approximation for neutral and protonated forms of the imidazole partner. A marked increase in stability for the charged complex relative to the neutral one is found. The interaction energies are used to reparameterize an analytical atom-atom potential for C, N and H contacts.

A green-emitting α-substituted β-diketonate Tb3+ phosphor for ultraviolet LED-based solid-state lighting

The α-substituted β-diketonate [Ln(3Cl-acac)₃(H₂O)₂] [Ln = Tb, Gd] complexes (with 3Cl-acac^– being 3-chloro-2,4-pentanedionate) were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, ultraviolet (UV)-visible and photoluminescence spectroscopies.

By considering the phosphorescence spectra of [Gd(3Cl-acac)₃(H₂O)₂], the effect of chloride replacement of hydrogen on the triplet state energy of the 3Cl-acac ligand was revealed. To support the interpretation and rationalization of the experimental results, Time-dependent DFT calculations were performed on Tb(3Cl-acac)₃(H₂O)₂. Additionally, the possibility of Tb(3Cl-acac)₃(H₂O)₂ to be used as potential green-emitting phosphor material for solid-sate light emitting diodes was evaluated. A prototype was successfully fabricated coating a near-UV LED (370 nm) with the Tb(3Cl-acac)₃(H₂O)₂ complex.

Synthesis and Fungicidal Activities of 2-Alkylthio-5- （3, 4, 5-tribenzyloxyphenyl）-1, 3, 4-oxadiazoles

Abstract： Ten novel 2-alkylthio-5-（3, 4, 5-tribenzyloxyphenyl）-1, 3, 4-oxadiazole derivatives （5a-j） were synthesized from methyl 3, 4, 5-trihydroxybenzoate by ethedfication, hydrazidation, cyclization and thioetherification reactions. The structures of 5a-j were confirmed by 1HNMR, MS spectra and elemental analysis. The results indicated that most of the compounds 5 exhibited good fungicidal activities. The activity of 5h is higher than 90% against Fusarium oxysporum and Botrytis cinereapers in 50 mg/L.

Vibrational spectrum of α- and δ-TiCl3

The vibrational spectrum of α-TiCl₃ is assigned on the basis of a normal coordinate analysis. The i.r. bands shift to higher frequency from α- to δ-TiCl₃. This is discussed in terms of a dispersion relation for k_c in α-TiCl₃ and force constants, where the former is carried out for examining effect on disorder to the c axis in δ-TiCl₃. The shift is explained in terms of a change in force constants rather than disorder.     

Semiempirical calculation of the CH4 + CH3 · → CH3 · + CH4 radical-reaction potential surfaces in a basis of frontier orbitals

A semiempirical approach is suggested to describe potential-energy surfaces (PESs) of some radical reactions in the zero-differential overlap (ZDO) approximation. An incomplete basis set is used including only frontier (single-filled) radical molecular orbitals (MOs) depending on geometrical parameters. All possible configurations are taken into account. The parameter selection techniques are analyzed. The approach is applied to PES calculation of the CH₄ + CH₃ · CH₃ · + CH₄ reaction. Some points of the PES are verified by a nonempirical method using the perturbation theory and taking into account the correlation energy. The relaxation energies are calculated. The one-center parameters are determined nonempirically from the CH₃ + CH₃ ·, and CH₃ ^– energetics. The two-center parameters are found by modeling the CH₄ CH₃ · + H and C₂H₆ 2CH₃ reactions in the same single-orbital approximation. The energy parameters of the reactions considered are overestimated by 10%, whereas the geometrical parameters are under-estimated by 15%. Further, a comparative analysis of the Hartree-Fock solutions and those including correlation interactions (CIs) is given. The variations in the spin and charge densities on the reaction centers are considered.Institute of Chemical Kinetics and Combustion, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Siberian Branch, Novosibirsk.
