Preparation of a visible light-driven Bi2O3–TiO2 composite photocatalyst by an ethylene glycol-assisted sol–gel method,and its photocatalytic properties

A visible light-driven Bi₂O₃–TiO₂ composite photocatalyst was prepared by an ethylene glycol-assisted sol–gel method in which ethylene glycol acted as a polycondensation agent to capture metal ions by reacting with bismuth and titanium sources via a complex polycondensation pathway. The photocatalyst was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, acquisition of N₂ adsorption–desorption isotherms, transmission electron microscopy, and UV–visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The results revealed that the Bi₂O₃–TiO₂ composite was of smaller particle size, greater specific surface area, and had stronger absorbance in the visible light region than pure TiO₂. The photocatalytic activity of the as-prepared catalyst was evaluated by degradation of rhodamine B under visible light irradiation (λ > 400 nm); the as-prepared Bi₂O₃–TiO₂ composite was substantially more active than pure TiO₂. This was ascribed to the high surface area and the heterojunction structure.     

Study on side-chain second-order nonlinear optical polyimides based on novel chromophore-containing diamines. I. Synthesis and characterization

Side-chain second-order nonlinear optical polyimides were prepared from four novel chromophore-containing diamines and 4,4′-(hexafluoroisopropylidene) diphthalic anhydride by a traditional two-step process that included a solution polycondensation followed by a chemical imidization. The four diamines were 2,4-di-β-aminoethylamino-6-p-nitrophenylamino-1,3,5-triazine (M1), 4-nitro-4′-[N-(4,6-di-β-aminoethylamino)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl]amino azobenzene (M2), 2,4-di-p-aminophenylamino-6-p-nitrophenylamino-1,3,5-triazine (M3), and 4-nitro-4′-[N-(4,6- di-4-aminophenylamino)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl]amino azobenzene (M4). All the polyimides exhibited maximum ultraviolet-visible absorption peaks or shoulders of chromophores at wavelengths below 400 nm, and those based on M1 and M3 were transparent at wavelengths above 450 nm, whereas those based on M2 and M4 were transparent at wavelengths above 550 nm. The polyimides possessed high glass-transition temperatures (T_g's; 218–247 °C) and thermal decomposition temperatures. They were soluble in aprotic solvents such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, N,N-dimethyl acetamide, N,N-dimethyl formamide, and dimethylsulfone. Some were even soluble in common low-boiling-point solvents such as tetrahydrofuran. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 37: 4330–4336, 1999     

Determination of rare earth impurities in high purity gadolinium oxide by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry after 2-ethylhexylhydrogen-ethylhexy phosphonate extraction chromatographic separation

A method was developed for the determination of rare earth impurities in high purity Gd(2)O(3) by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The matrix suppression effect of Gd(2)O(3) on signals of rare earth impurities was compensated for by Re internal standardization. The spectra overlap interferences from GdH, GdO, GdOH(n) (n=1-3) on Tb, Tm, Yb and Lu were eliminated by 2-thylhexylhydrogen-2-ethylhexy phosphonate (EHEHP) extraction chromatographic separation. The detection limits for REEs were 0.005-0.017 ng ml(-1) in solution and 0.002-0.05 mug g(-1) in solid. Recoveries of spiked sample for REEs were from 88 to 121% with the precision of 1.0-7.5% RSD. Determination of trace REEs in two Gd(2)O(3) samples were performed. The method can be applied to analysis of 99.99-99.9999% high purity Gd(2)O(3).

Studies of artificial hydrolytic metalloenzymes: The catalyzed carboxyester hydrolysis by copper(II), zinc(II) and cobalt(II) complexes of the tripod ligand tris(2-benzimidazylmethyl)amine

The hydrolysis kinetics of p-nitrophenyl acetate (NA) catalyzed by Cu^II, Zn^II and Co^II complexes of tris(2-benzimidazylmethyl)amine (NBT) have been studied. The hydrolysis rate is first-order in both metal(II) complex and NA. The second-order rate constants, k_cat are 0.083, 0.241 and 0.285mol^–1Ls^–1 (298K, I = 0.10molL^–1 KNO₃, 0.02molL^–1 tris buffer, 40% MeCN aqueous solution) for Zn–NBT, Co–NBT and Cu–NBT complexes, respectively. The result indicates that the hydrolytic metalloenzyme activity of different metal complexes increases with the electrophilicity of the metal ions and that the complexes, in this paper, constitute that most efficient hydrolytic metalloenzyme models reported to date. An increase in MeCN content in the solution greatly reduces the hydrolytic activity of the nucleophiles.
