Amorphous silicon oxycarbide (a-SiOC:H) films produced by remote plasma RPCVD from diethoxymethylsilane (DEMS) were characterized in terms of their basic properties related to the coatings deposited using conventional plasma enhanced PECVD method. The effect of substrate temperature (TS) on the growth rate, chemical composition, structure, and properties of resulting a-SiOC:H films is reported. Film growth is an adsorption-controlled process, wherein two mechanisms can be distinguished with a transition at about TS=70°C. Depending on the temperature, films of different nature can be obtained, from polymer-like to highly crosslinked material with C-Si-O network. The chemical structure of a-SiOC:H films was characterized by FTIR, 13C and 29Si solid-state NMR, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopes. The a-SiOC:H films were also characterized in terms of their density, refractive index, surface morphology, conformality of coverage, hardness, adhesion to a substrate, and friction coefficient. The films were found to be morphologically homogeneous materials exhibiting good conformality of coverage and small surface roughness. Their refractive index exhibits anomalous effect revealing a minimum value at TS=125°C. Due to their exceptional physical properties a-SiOC:H films produced by RPCVD from DEMS precursor seems to be useful as potential dielectric materials or coatings for various encapsulation applications. 相似文献
A search for new drugs that overcome the multidrug resistance of microorganisms or are effective against cancer cells prompted us to investigate the binary and ternary Cu(II) complexes containing L-arginine, [CuCl(L-Arg)(phen)]Cl·2H2O (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) ( 1 ) and [Cu(L-Arg)2(H2O)]C2O4·6H2O ( 2 ), for which crystal and molecular structures were characterized previously. In order to discuss the biological function, the complexes have been screened for their antitumor activity against A549 (human lung cancer cells), HepG2 (human liver hepatocellular carcinoma cells) and antimicrobial activity. To identify the complexes forms existing in the solutions of 1 and 2 crystals, the results obtained from EPR, NIR–Vis–UV and MS (mass spectrometry) measurements were correlated with those from analysis of potentiometric titration of Cu(II)―L-Arg and Cu(II)―L-Arg―phen systems. This comprehensive study indicated that the [Cu(L-Arg)(phen)]2+ and [Cu(L-Arg)2]2+ species are dominant in the solution. Complexes 1 and 2 were found to present specific ligand-dependent cytotoxic and antiproliferative potential against cancer cells. They also show antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as display antifungal properties. 相似文献
In organic photovoltaics, porphyrins (PPs) are among the most promising compounds owing to their large absorption cross-section, wide spectral range, and stability. Nevertheless, a precise adjustment of absorption band positions to reach a full coverage of the so-called green gap has not been achieved yet. We demonstrate that a tuning of the PP Q- and Soret bands can be carried out by using a computational approach for which substitution patterns are optimized in silico. The most promising candidate structures were then synthesized. The experimental UV/Vis data for the solvated compounds were in excellent agreement with the theoretical predictions. By attaching further functionalities, which allow the use of PP chromophores as linkers for the assembly of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), we were able to exploit packing effects resulting in pronounced redshifts, which allowed further optimization of the photophysical properties of PP assemblies. Finally, we use a layer-by-layer method to assemble the PP linkers into surface-mounted MOFs (SURMOFs), thus obtaining high optical quality, homogeneous and crystalline multilayer films. Experimental results are in full accord with the calculations, demonstrating the huge potential of computational screening methods in tailoring MOF and SURMOF photophysical properties. 相似文献
Wet vacuum impregnation method was applied in order to evaluate the possibility of the formation of the material in BaCe0.9Y0.1O3?δ–V2O5 system. Single-phase BaCe0.9Y0.1O3?δ samples, synthesised by solid-state reaction method, were impregnated with the solution of vanadium(V) oxide precursor. Multi-step, multi-cycle impregnation procedure was applied to enhance the impregnation efficiency. Partial decomposition of Y-doped BaCeO3 in contact with the solution of the precursor, resulting in the formation of vanadium containing phases (CeVO4 and BaV2O6) on the materials surface, was observed. However, the presence of vanadium was also confirmed for the inner parts of the materials. The synthesised materials were submitted for exposition test to evaluate their chemical stability towards CO2/H2O. All BaCe0.9Y0.1O3-based materials modified by impregnation revealed higher chemical stability in comparison with single-phase un-modified BaCe0.9Y0.1O3?δ, since the amount of barium carbonate formed during the exposition was significantly lower. The total electrical conductivity of the received multi-phase materials was generally slightly lower than for the reference BaCe0.9Y0.1O3?δ sample, since the presence of the additional phases had a blocking effect on materials conductivity. The values of BaCeO3 lattice parameters and the Seebeck coefficient did not show the modification of the defects structure of Y-doped BaCeO3 during applied synthesis procedure.
Abstract As part of our studies mto the synthesis of benzylic aminophosphonates we have found, that hydroxybenzyl(amino)osphonates underwent a cleavage in strong basic conditions to form aldehydes, amines and phosphorous acid, in high yield. 相似文献
Electron paramagnetic resonance was used to monitor free radicals and paramagnetic species like Fe, Mn, Cu generation, stability and status in Asparagus officinalis infected by common pathogens Fusarium proliferatum and F. oxysporum. Occurrence of F. proliferatum and F. oxysporum, level of free radicals and other paramagnetic species, as well as salicylic acid and mycotoxins content in roots and stems of seedlings were estimated on the second and fourth week after inoculation. In the first term free and total salicylic acid contents were related to free radicals level in stem (P?=?0.010 and P?=?0.033, respectively). Concentration of Fe(3+) ions in porphyrin complexes (g?=?2.3, g?=?2.9) was related to the species of pathogen. There was no significant difference between Mn(2+) concentrations in stem samples; however, the level of free radicals in samples inoculated with F. proliferatum was significantly higher when compared to F. oxysporum. 相似文献
