Characterization of the triplet state of tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminium(III) in benzene solution

The lowest triplet state of tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminium(III) (Alq3) has been prepared by pulse radiolysis/energy transfer from appropriate donors in benzene solutions and has an absorption maximum around 510 nm with a lifetime of about 50 mus. It is quenched by molecular oxygen, leading to singlet oxygen formation. From flash photolysis and singlet oxygen formation measurements, a quantum yield of triplet formation of 0.24 was determined for direct photolysis of the complex. A value of 2.10 +/- 0.10 eV was determined for the energy of the lowest triplet state by energy transfer studies and was confirmed by phosphorescence measurements on Alq3, either in the heavy atom solvent ethyl iodide or photosensitized by benzophenone in benzene. Dexter (exchange) energy transfer was observed from triplet Alq3 to platinum(II) octaethylporphyrin.     

Evaluation of polymeric flocculants for oily water systems using a photometric dispersion analyzer

During oil production and treatment, oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions are formed. These dispersions require treatment prior to disposal. In order to improve oil/water separation processes through any physical process (decanting, flotation, centrifuging etc), the particle size of the dispersed phase should be increased. This may be obtained by a flocculation process, which consists in the agglomeration of several particles or drops using as flocculating agent hydrophilic high molecular weight macromolecules. Poly (ethylene-b-propylene oxide) and poly (vinyl alcohol) polymers have been evaluated as flocculating agents for oily water systems. Their performance is related to the particle size increase of the dispersed phase. In this work, a photometric dispersion analyzer (PDA) has been used to accomplish the oil drop agglomeration. Synthetic as well as produced water was used. Data are in good agreement with previous tests. Qualitative information related to aggregates or particle size distribution of the oily water systems can be obtained using PDA.     

Chemiluminometric determination of carvedilol in a multi-pumping flow system

In this work a simple, fast, sensitive and selective flow-based procedure for the chemiluminometric determination of carvedilol, a recent non-cardioselective β-blocker with noteworthy antioxidant activity, is proposed. The developed methodology takes advantage of the antioxidant capacity of carvedilol to inhibit the chemiluminescence response resulting from the oxidation of luminol by hypochlorite, by acting as a hypochlorite scavenger. The analytical process was implemented in a multi-pumping flow system that employs multiple solenoid actuated micro-pumps as the only active components. These acted as solution insertion, propelling and commuting units assuring an easily controlled, low cost, compact and reliable analytical system.A linear working range for carvedilol concentrations ranging from 1.2 × 10⁻⁷ to 3.0 × 10⁻⁶ mol l⁻¹ (r > 0.999, n = 6), was obtained, with a detection limit of 8.7 × 10⁻⁹ mol l⁻¹. The system handles about 65 samples per hour yielding precise results (R.S.D. < 1.3%, n = 10). Recoveries within 95 and 104% were obtained.     

Optimization of Fluidized-Bed Extraction for Determination of Organochlorine Pesticides in Sediment

A new extraction technique, fluidized-bed extraction, has been investigated for isolation of organochlorine pesticides from sediment. The extraction was optimized, by means of a surface-response design, by considering the number of extraction cycles, the holding time after reaching the heating temperature, and the composition of the extraction solvent as experimental variables. The effect on method performance of the operating conditions used for fluidized-bed extraction was investigated. Special emphasis was given to accurate determination of p,p′-DDT, because DDT is known to be unstable during GC injection. To evaluate the extent of degradation of DDT, ¹³C₁₂-p,p′-DDT-solutions were analyzed and the amount of degradation during GC injection was calculated. ¹³C₁₂-p,p′-DDT was also added to sediment samples before extraction and the extent of degradation during the optimization experiment was investigated. Finally, classical Soxhlet extraction was compared with the optimized fluidized-bed extraction method.

异核双金属探针在活细胞细胞核和线粒体中选择性定位DNA

用于实时成像活细胞DNA的细胞核探针是非常罕见的。通过Ru(N^N)₃、Ir(C^N)₂(N^N)、Re(CO)₃Cl(N^N)和Pt(C^N)(N^N)的结合,生成了4种异核双金属配合物：2种不同的功能金属位点被锚定在线性双齿螯和配体(N^N)-(N^N)的尾端,形成不对称哑铃状的双金属分子M₁-M₂,即Ru-Re、Ru-Pt、Ir-Re和Ir-Pt。Ru-Re和Ru-Pt的红色发射探针具有较大的斯托克斯位移、优异的核膜穿透能力、良好光稳定性的DNA结合能力。此外,Ru-Re和Ru-Pt探针的DNA成像可与专门用于活细胞细胞核DNA染色的Hoechst 33342商用染料相媲美,而Ir-Re和Ir-Pt探针直接靶向线粒体。不同探针的发光特性和选择性胞内定位高度依赖于在异核双金属配合物中的金属物种。
