Development of fluorescent FeIII sensor based on chalcone

In this paper, 4-dimethylamino 2,5-dihydroxy chalcone (DMADHC), which exhibits excited state intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) characteristics, was synthesized and characterized. A sensitive optochemical sensor for Fe³⁺ ion was developed using DMADHC as fluorescence receptor. The fluorescence of DMADHC was gradually quenched with the addition of Fe³⁺ ion, which attributed to the formation of 1:1 complex between DMADHC and Fe³⁺ ion. The sensor exhibited excellent selectivity for Fe³⁺ ion over a large number of cation ions such as alkali, alkaline earth and transitional metal ions with a linear range of 3.984×10⁻⁷-1.135×10⁻⁵ and a limit of detection of 8.223×10⁻⁸ mol/L. On this basis, the sensor was preliminary applied to the determination of the content of iron ions in multi-vitamin tablet with satisfied results and the recoveries were in the 95-100% interval, and precision (n=5) was better than 5%.     

Visualizing electronic chirality and Berry phases in graphene systems using photoemission with circularly polarized light

Electronic chirality near the Dirac point is a key property of graphene systems, which is revealed by the spectral intensity patterns as measured by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy under various polarization conditions. Specifically, the strongly modulated circular patterns for monolayer (bilayer) graphene rotate by ±90° (±45°) in changing from linearly to circularly polarized light; these angles are directly related to the phases of the wave functions and thus visually confirm the Berry's phase of π (2π) around the Dirac point. The details are verified by calculations.     

Combining clustering and classification for remote-sensing images using unlabeled data

A joint clustering and classification approach is proposed.This approach exploits unlabeled data for efficient clustering,which is applied in the classification with support vector machine(SVM) in the case of small-size training samples.The proposed method requires no prior information on data labels,and yields better cluster structures.Through cluster assumption and the notions of support vectors,the most confident k cluster centers and data points near the cluster boundaries are labeled and used to train a reliable SVM classifier.Our method gains better estimation of data distributions and mitigates the unrepresentative problem of small-size training samples.The data set collected from Landsat Thematic Mapper(Landsat TM-5) validates the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Hemi[hexa­aqua­magnesium(II)] (μ‐2,6‐bis{[bis­(carboxyl­ato­methyl)­amino]­methyl}‐4‐chloro­phenolato)­bis­[di­aqua­magnesium(II)] decahydrate

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Mg(H₂O)₆]_0.5[Mg₂(C₁₆H₁₄ClN₂O₉)(H₂O)₄]·10H₂O, shows that this bi­nuclear complex consists of two Mg centres in distorted octahedral geometry, joined by an oxo bridge which is a derivative of the deprotoned hydroxy group of the phenolate in the ligand mol­ecule. In the anion, the coordination sphere of each Mg^II ion is completed by two carboxyl­ates, a tertiary N atom and two water mol­ecules. The inner coordination spheres for the Mg^II ions are very similar, both in ligand sets and in geometry. Each unit of the binuclear complex has one negative charge neutralized by a neighbouring hydrated cation, [Mg(H₂O)₆]²⁺, in which the Mg atom lies on an inversion centre. In each cell, there are 34 water mol­ecules and most of them participate in the formation of hydrogen bonds, which contribute greatly to the stability of the whole structure.     

Determination of sulpiride in human urine using excitation-emission matrix fluorescence coupled with second-order calibration.

This paper proposes a new and effective approach for the quantitative analysis of sulpiride, a significant antipsychotic drug, in human urine samples by the incorporation of excitation-emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence and second-order calibration methodologies based on the alternating fitting residue (AFR) and self-weighted alternating trilinear decomposition (SWATLD) algorithms. With the application of a second-order advantage, the proposed strategy could be utilized for a direct concentration determination of sulpiride with a simple pretreatment step, even in the presence of serious natural fluorescent interferences. The average recoveries of sulpiride in complex urine samples by using AFR and SWATLD with an estimated component number of three were 101.2 +/- 2.1 and 94.4 +/- 0.7%, respectively. Moreover, the accuracy of the two algorithms was also evaluated through elliptical joint confidence region (EJCR) tests as well as the figures of merit, such as sensitivity (SEN), selectivity (SEL) and limit of detection (LOD). The experimental results demonstrated that both algorithms, as promising quantitative alternatives, have been satisfactorily applied to the determination of sulpiride in human urine, but the performance of AFR was slightly better than that of SWATLD.
