The concentration of Fe(II) ion is determined by chelation with 2-nitroso-5-diehtylaminophenol and liquid-liquid extraction into chloroform. Light absorption at 780 nm is measured with a thermal lens spectrophotometer equipped with a semiconductor laser as a light source. The enhancement factor achieved experimentally is 47. The detection limit of Fe(II) ion is 8.1 × 10?9 M, which is 3–4 times better than that obtained by conventional absorption spectrometry, and is governed by the background signal originating from Fe(II) impurity in the reagent. 相似文献
Summary The solubilities of the following compounds in water andp-toluenesulphonic acid aqueous solution were determined at 5, 25 and 40 C: azobenzenep-aminoazobenzene,p-hydroxyazobenzene,p-N, N-dimethylaminoazobenzene and 1-phenylazo-4-aminonaphthalene. Prom the results the thermodynamic parameters for the transfer of one mole of the compound from water top-toluenesulphonic acid aqueous solution were calculated. It was found that the process was nearly athermal: furthermore, it was invariably accompanied by a positive unitary entropy change. The solubilizing mechanism of aromatic sulphonic acids was explained in terms of an adduct-formation with the compound to be dissolved by means of hydrophobic and nonpolarvan der Waals interactions.
Zusammenfassung Die Löslichkeiten folgender Verbindungen in Wasser und wÄ\rigerp-ToluolsulphonsÄure-Lösung wurden bei 5, 25 und 40 C bestimmt: Azobenzol,p-Aminoazobenzol,p-Hydroxyazobenzol,p-N,N-dimethylammoazobenzol undL-Phenylazo-4-aminonaphthalin. Aus den Ergebnissen wurden die thermodynamischen Parameter für den übergang eines Mols der Verbindung von Wasser zup-ToluolsulphonsÄurewÄ\rigen Lösungen berechnet. Es wurde gefunden, da\ die Prozesse nahezu athermisch sind. Au\erdem sind sie sÄmtlich durch eine positive und gleichmÄ\ig gro\e EntropieÄnderung begleitet. Der Lösungsmechanismus aromatischer SulphonsÄuren wird in den Begriffen einer Adduktbildung mit der Komponente erklÄrt, die durch die hydrophoben unpolarenvan-der-Waals-Wechselwirkungen entsteht.
This review article proposes a non-covalent strategy for activating separation and detection functionality; this strategy acts not through extensive organic synthesis to a covalently constructed molecular receptor, but by combining a simple molecular platform with a chemical “field” or functional component. For such a platform, we employed thiacalixarenes—calixarenes in which the bridging methylene groups are replaced with sulfur—to demonstrate usefulness of the non-covalent strategy and the multifunctionality of thiacalixarene. Thiacalixarene exhibits inherent abilities to recognize metal ions by coordinating with the bridging sulfur and adjacent phenol oxygen, as well as to include organic guest molecules in the cavity. Moreover, the non-covalent coupling of thiacalixarene provides systems with functions higher than thiacalixarene by itself. The functions described in this paper are as follows: (1) a 200-fold pre-concentration of heavy metal ions such as CuII, CdII, and PbII; (2) a pre-column derivatization reagent for the highly selective and sensitive determination of NiII, AlIII, FeIII, and TiIV at sub-ppb levels with reversed-phase HPLC; (3) the self-assembled formation of a luminescence receptor with TbIII ions for the detection of 10?10 M levels of 1-ethylquinolinium guest; and (4) a sensing system for 10?9 M levels of AgI ions by the formation of the AgI-TbIII-thiacalixarene ternary supramolecular complex. These examples support the non-covalent strategy as a highly promising way to obtain functions beyond that of a molecular platform. In addition, these diverse functions indicate the multifunctionality of thiacalixarene as well as its suitability to the non-covalent strategy, since the inherent functional groups—such as the bridging sulfur, phenol oxygen, p-substituent, aromatic ring, and hydrophobic cavity—synergistically perform the functions. 相似文献
High transmittance of transparent conductive oxide (TCO) substrates is one of the most important factors for achieving high efficiency in thin-film silicon solar cells. Immersion (IM) method with CH2I2 liquid is widely used for the evaluation of optical properties (transmittance, reflectance and absorption) for TCO substrates with textured surface in order to reduce the scattering at the TCO surface. However, in order to measure transmittance accurately, three problems have been found. (1) CH2I2 liquid itself absorbs the light in short wavelength region. (2) The transmittance around the absorption edge of CH2I2 liquids is very sensitive to its amount. (3) Scattering cannot be suppressed when the scattering surfaces are more than 2 surfaces (for example, TCO on reactive ion etching (RIE) processed glass). To overcome these problems, we proposed a new setup to measure optical properties of TCO substrates by holding the samples inside the integral sphere. As the results, we have confirmed that their absorption in all wavelength could be measured accurately and the transmittance measured by the new method was well consistent with the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of the fabricated cell while the transmittance measured with conventional IM method showed differently. Therefore, this new method could be a useful tool to evaluate TCO substrates for thin-film silicon solar cells. 相似文献
As a feasible way for controlling the density of ligands in polyrotaxanes, azidated polyrotaxanes comprising PEG (MW = 3 000 and 20 000 g · mol−1) and mono‐, di‐, or triazidated α‐cyclodextrins are prepared in a water/DMSO solution in a one‐pot synthesis. The azidated polyrotaxanes are then allowed to conjugate with propargyl‐modified mannose as a ligand via click chemistry. As proven by FTIR spectroscopy and 1H NMR‐spectroscopy, mannose molecules are efficiently introduced into all of the azide moieties of the polyrotaxanes. The results verify the achievement of ligand‐density‐controlled polyrotaxanes. The functionalized polyrotaxanes can be utilized for a variety of biological applications.
The UVA-irradiation of 10 J/cm2 on HaCaT keratinocytes increased 59.1% of the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) by NBT assay and the cell viability decreased to 31.5% by WST-1 assay, comparing to the non-irradiated control. In the presence of fullerene-C60 (C60) incorporated in phospholipid membrane vehicle (LiposomeFullerene: Lpsm-Flln) of 250–500 ppm, they were restored to ?9.1% to + 2.3% of the ROS and 83.0–84.8% of the cell viability, but scarcely restored by the liposome without C60 (Lpsm). In HaCaT cells administered with Lpsm-Flln (150 ppm), C60 was ingested at the intracellular concentrations of 1.4–21.9 ppm for 4–24 h, and, intracellular C60 was excreted by 80% at 4 h after rinsing-out, and decreased to 2–10% after 24–48 h. C60 was predominantly distributed around the outside of nuclear membrane without deterioration of intact cell morphology according to fluorescent immunostain. Thus Lpsm-Flln is found to be an effective antioxidant that could preserve HaCaT keratinocytes against UVA-induced cellular injury. Lpsm-Flln has a potential to serve as a cosmetic material for skin protection against UVA. 相似文献
