Highly selective colorimetric fluorescence sensor for Cu: cation-induced ‘switching on’ of fluorescence due to excited state internal charge transfer in the red/near-infrared region of emission spectra

A 1,8-naphthalimide-based colorimetric fluorescence perinone dye, receptor 1 is reported herein for the selective detection of Cu²⁺ over the other heavy and transition metal ions. Receptor 1 shows a strong colorimetric change from orange to purple and a dramatic enhancement of fluorescence intensity due to cation-induced excited state internal charge transfer during the sensing event, that is, a dual optical response that would facilitate naked-eye detection of Cu²⁺.     

Enhancing the stability and performance of a battery cathode using a non-aqueous electrolyte

For conductive polymers to be considered materials for energy storage, both their electroactivity and stability must be optimized. In this study, a non-aqueous electrolyte (0.2 M LiClO₄ in acetonitrile) was studied for its effect on the charge storage capacity and stability of two materials used in batteries developed in our laboratory, polypyrrole (pPy) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) doped with 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiaxoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS). The results are compared to the performance of these materials in an aqueous electrolyte (0.2 M HCl/aq). Loss of ABTS dopant was eliminated principally due to the low solubility of ABTS in acetonitrile, resulting in cathode materials with improved stability in terms of load cycling and performance.     

Electrodeposition behavior of Mg with Zn from acidic sulfate solutions

Electrodeposition of Mg with Zn in acidic sulfate solutions with polyethylene glycol and octadecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride as additives was investigated by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and potentiodynamic polarization techniques. The results show that these two compounds act in a synergetic way to suppress Zn deposition markedly and facilitate Mg reduction. Zn–0.46%Mg coatings are produced under high cathodic current densities, which have lower corrosion potentials than Zn coatings and hydrogen evolution in neutral chloride solutions. Magnesium hydroxide may cause current oscillations at high cathodic polarizations in plating solutions without zinc salts due to its formation and peel-off. An “induced co-deposition” mechanism is proposed for Zn–Mg alloy electrodeposition.

草酸根桥联手性双核铜的合成、表征、结构与磁性

分别以(8R,10R)-(-)-[4,5]-pineno-2,2′-bipyridine或(8S,10S)-(+)-[4,5]-pineno-2,2′-bipyridine(LRR和LSS)为手性配体合成双核铜络合物[Cu2(μ-ox)(LRR)2(H2O)2(ClO4)2](1)、[Cu2(μ-ox)(LRR)2(CH3COCH3)2(ClO4)2](1a)、[Cu2(μ-ox)(LSS)2(H2O)2(ClO4)2](2)和[Cu2(μ-ox)-(LRR)(LSS)(CH3COCH3)2(ClO4)2](3)(ox2-=草酸根),并探讨了其反应机理.由元素分析、电导率、紫外可见谱(UV-vis)、圆二色(CD)谱和晶体结构分析推测:该系列络合物具有草酸根桥联的双核结构,两个铜(II)离子与草酸根几乎成共平面;1a和3的晶体结构分析表明,每个Cu(II)的配位构型为拉长畸变八面体,双核分子中轴向的两个溶剂分子和两个高氯酸根互为反式配位.对映体络合物1和2的溶液CD光谱大致呈镜像对称,在可见区的极弱CD吸收峰可能源于LRR和LSS蒎烯基上的手性中心对Cu(II)d-d生色团的手性微扰产生的邻位效应.采用最小二乘法和Bleaney-Bowers方程对络合物1的变温磁化率测试数据进行拟合,求得交换积分J=-338.41(4)cm-1,表明铜(II)离子间有较强的反铁磁自旋交换作用.     

Regioselective aminohalogenation of β-nitrostyrenes using NCS and NBS as nitrogen/halogen sources

Aminohalogenation reaction of β-nitrostyrenes with N-halosuccinimides(N-chloro and N-bromosuccinimides) has been successfully conducted by using nickel acetate as a catalyst in the presence of potassium carbonate and succinimide as co-additives.The reaction was easily performed at room temperature under nitrogen gas protection to give dihalorinaed haloamino products in good to excellent yields(60%-98%).The structure has been confirmed by X-ray crystal structure analysis.

trans-3,4-Diamino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl at the disstillation in a vacuum at >100°C suffered a partial thermal decomposition with the formation of two new nitroxyl radicals, bicyclic trans-2,2,4,6,6,8,8-heptamethyl-2,3,5a,6,7,8,9,9a-octahydro-1H-pyrido[4,3-b][1,4]diazepin-7-oxyl prevailing.

Taking into consideration the asymmetric atoms C^5a and C^9a the synthesized radical is a mixture of two enantiomers. Each of them in the crystalline state forms a pair of diastereomers distinguished by the position of the hydrogen atom at the atom N¹.     

纳米结构ZnO在TiO_2薄膜上的电化学沉积及其表征

在三电极体系中,以硝酸锌水溶液作为电解液,采用阴极还原电沉积法成功实现了一维纳米结构ZnO阵列在TiO2纳米粒子/ITO导电玻璃薄膜基底上的沉积,并通过XRD、SEM、EDS和PL光谱等方法对样品进行了表征.重点研究了薄膜基底、电解液浓度、沉积时间、六次亚甲基四胺(HMT)的引入对ZnO沉积及其发光性质的影响.结果显示:与ITO玻璃基底相比,ZnO更易于在TiO2纳米粒子薄膜上实现电化学沉积.ZnO属于六方晶系的铅锌矿结构,并且沿着c-轴方向表现出明显的择优化生长,以形成垂直于基底的ZnO纳米棒阵列.延长沉积时间、增加电解液浓度和引入一定量的HMT等均对ZnO的生长有促进作用,进而使其纳米棒的结晶度和取向程度提高,进而解释了所得的薄膜分别约在375和520nm处表现出ZnO的强而窄的带边紫外光发射峰和弱而宽的表面态绿光发射带.
