Simple imine linked colorimetric and fluorescent receptor for sensing Zn ions in aqueous medium based on inhibition of ESIPT mechanism

Herein, we report the highly selective binding of Zn²⁺ ion by the salicylaldimine based Schiff base chromogenic receptor 1 [(N,N′-bis (salicylidine)-o-phenylenediamine]. Receptor 1 senses Zn²⁺ ion in aqueous medium by colorimetric and fluorescent response in the presence of other metal ions like Pb²⁺, Hg²⁺, Sn²⁺, Cd²⁺. Receptor 1 on binding with Zn²⁺ ion exhibits fluorescence enhancement which is due to the inhibition of the (ESIPT) mechanism.     

Synthesis,Characterization, Molecular Docking,and Antimicrobial Activity of New Arylidene-Substituted Imidazoles

Russian Journal of General Chemistry - The title compounds are synthesized by condensation of 2-[4-(arylidene)-5-oxo-4, 5-dihydrooxazol-2-yl]phenylacetate with aromatic amines in presence of the...     

Molecular Encapsulation of Trimeric Chromium Carboxylate Clusters in Metal–Organic Frameworks and Propylene Sorption

Oxo-bridged trimeric chromium acetate clusters [Cr₃O(OOCCH₃)₆(H₂O)₃]NO₃ have been encapsulated for the first time in the mesoporous cages of the chromium terephthalate MIL-101(Cr). The isolated clusters in MIL-101(Cr) have increased affinity towards propylene compared to propane, due to generation of a new kind of pocket-based propylene-binding site, as supported by DFT calculations.     

Ti-free optical waveguiding regions produced by LiNbO3 etching during the indiffusion of Ti

We report the observation, first to our knowledge, of optical waveguiding found beneath trenches etched in congruent lithium niobate using the recently reported etching during the indiffusion of Ti process. Observations of multi-mode and single-mode guiding at visible wavelengths and preliminary measurements of waveguide insertion losses are presented.

Surface modification. I. Polyacrolein microspheres covalently bonded onto polyethylene

The synthesis and characterization of novel surfaces composed of polyacrolein microspheres covalently bonded onto polyethylene films are described. These surfaces were prepared through a sequence of reactions carried out onto polyethylene films in order to form primary amine groups at the w position. Polyacrolein microspheres in water were then covalently bonded to these modified polyethylene surfaces. The binding between the microspheres and the modified surfaces is due to the interaction between the aldehyde groups of the microspheres and the amine groups of the modified surfaces to form the polyvalent Schiff base bonds. Fourier transform-infrared/attenuated total reflection, electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis, contact angle measurements, and scanning electron microscopy have been used for the characterization of the modified polyethylene surfaces.
