Monitoring formation of poly(neutral red) film by EQCM

An electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) is employed for monitoring the growth of poly(neutral red) films on platinum in the electrolytic solution containing 5.0 mmol dm⁻³ neutral red, 0.3 mol dm⁻³ H₂SO₄, and 0.5 mol dm⁻³ Na₂SO₄. The in situ measurement of the frequency changes of the EQCM reveals that both the adsorption/desorption of neutral red and the formation of poly(neutral red) film can be observed together with anion sorption/desorption during the redox transformation of the polymer, and that the polymerization rate of neutral red increases slowly before the 11th cycle and then increases quickly with increasing number of potential cycles.

Shot noise sets the limit of quantification in electrochemical measurements

Detection of single molecules, particles, and rapid redox events is a challenge of electrochemical investigations and requires either an amplification strategy or significant averaging for the electrochemical current to exceed the noise level. We consider the minimum number of electrons required to reach the limit of quantification in these electrochemical measurements. A survey of the literature indicates that the state-of-the-art limit in current detection for different types of measurements (e.g. voltammetry, single-molecule redox cycling, ion channel recordings of single molecules, metal nanoparticle collision, and phase nucleation) is independent of the nature of the measurement and increases linearly with reciprocal response time, Δt^?1, over ～5 orders of magnitude (from ～10 to ～10⁶ s^?1). We demonstrate that the practical limit of quantification requires cumulative measurement of ～2100 electrons during Δt and is determined by statistics of counting electrons, that is, the shot noise in the current.

Parallel solution combustion synthesis for combinatorial materials studies

A parallel solution combustion synthesis technique was developed for combinatorial materials studies. The vigorous combustion reactions were successfully limited in the microreactors by using a substrate-net-mask microreactor system and the lowest adoptable furnace temperature. Using this technique, a luminescent materials library of Y3Al5O12/Tb(chi) was synthesized with the aid of an ink-jet delivery system. Structure and luminescence characterizations were implemented using X-ray diffraction and UV/X-ray spectroscopies, respectively. The results show that this technique is reliable and applicable to combinatorial study of powder materials with high synthesis temperature.

Copper phosphonates with dinuclear and layer structures: a structural and magnetic study

Hydrothermal reactions of copper (II) nitrate with 1-hydroxycyclohexanephosphonic acid [C₆H₁₀(OH)PO₃H₂] or Δ¹-cyclohexenephosphonic acid [C₆H₉PO₃H₂] have resulted in three new copper phosphonates, namely, Cu(C₆H₁₀(OH)PO₃)(H₂O)₂ (1), Cu(C₆H₁₀(OH)PO₃) (2) and Cu(C₆H₉PO₃)(H₂O) (3). Compound 1 has a dinuclear structure in which two {CuO₅} square pyramids are bridged by two {CPO₃} tetrahedra through corner sharing. The dimers are connected through intermolecular hydrogen bonds, forming supramolecular layers. Both compounds 2 and 3 show layer structures typical for metal mono-phosphonates, in which the inorganic metal-containing layers are separated by cyclohexane or cyclohexene groups. The magnetic studies show that ferromagnetic interactions are mediated between copper centers in compound 1. In compounds 2 and 3, antiferromagnetic interactions are dominant.
