In situ prepared polypyrrole for low humidity QCM sensor and related theoretical calculation

In situ preparation of polypyrrole (Ppy) by photo-polymerization coated on a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) as a low humidity sensor was reported. Different concentrations of Ppy films say 0 wt.% (as blank), 0.1, 1, and 10 wt.% were investigated to measure humidity concentrations between 14.7 and 5412.5 ppm_v. The adsorption/desorption behavior was also examined at humidity concentration 510.2 ppm_v. The sensitivities of 0, 0.1 and 1 wt.% Ppy films at 51.5 ppm_v were 0.143, 0.219 and 0.427, respectively. For 1 wt.% Ppy, the highest sensitivity was obtained. The slope and correlation coefficients (R²) for 1 wt.% Ppy at the ranges of 14.7–898.6 ppm_v were 0.0646 and 0.9909, respectively. A series of molecular simulations have been carried out to calculate bond energy for the water molecule interaction with Ppy, which was found to be 3 kcal/mol indicating the existence of hydrogen bonding during the sorption process. Based on Langmuir isotherm adsorption assumption, for 0.1 and 1 wt.% Ppy films, the association constants were 2606.30 and 5792.98, respectively. This larger association constant for 1 wt.% Ppy film explains higher sensitivity.

High performance organic field-effect transistors based on amphiphilic tris(phthalocyaninato) rare earth triple-decker complexes

LB films of three amphiphilic tris(phthalocyaninato) rare earth triple-decker complexes with crown-ethers as hydrophilic heads and long alkyl chains as hydrophobic tails have been prepared and found to display very well ordered layer structures, as proved by pi-A isotherms, UV-vis and polarized absorption spectra, X-ray diffraction experiments, and microscopic morphology characterization. These LB films have been fabricated into field-effect transistor (FET) devices, which show carrier mobilities as high as 0.24-0.60 cm2 V-1 s-1, among the highest mobilities achieved thus far for all LB film-based OFETs.     

Theoretical study of addition reactions of heavy carbenes to carbon and boron nitride nanotubes

In an effort to gain insight into the activation energies and reaction enthalpies of the chemical functionalization of carbon and boron nitride nanotubes, calculations using density functional theory have been carried out for the cycloaddition of a heavy carbene to a single-walled carbon (SWCNT; C(130)H(20)) and a boron nitride (SWBNNT; B(65)N(65)H(20)) nanotube. The (CH(3))(2)X + SWCNT and (CH(3))(2)X + SWBNNT (X = C, Si, Ge, Sn, and Pb) reactions are the subject of the present study. All the stationary points were determined at the B3LYP/LANL2DZ level of theory. The major conclusions that can be drawn from this work are as follows: (i) Considering both the activation barrier and reaction enthalpy based on the model calculations presented here, it is found that the order of (CH(3))(2)X reactivity is X = C > Si > Ge > Sn > Pb, irrespective of whether cycloaddition is to a SWCNT or a SWBNNT sidewall. That is to say, (CH(3))(2)C and (CH(3))(2)Si can readily add to the sidewalls of SWCNT and SWBNNT, whereas (CH(3))(2)Ge, (CH(3))(2)Sn, and (CH(3))(2)Pb are unreactive. (ii) Since the chemical reactivities of SWCNT and SWBNNT sidewalls closely resemble those of the small C(16)H(10) and B(8)N(8)H(10) molecules, at least in a qualitative sense, the use of the above small molecules as models is sufficient to provide qualitatively correct results. (iii) Our theoretical observations indicate that all the (5,5) SWCNT and SWBNNT cycloadducts favor opened rather than closed three-membered ring structures. (iv) The theoretical investigations demonstrate that the singlet-triplet splitting of the carbene species (R(2)X) as well as that of the small model molecules can be used as a diagnostic tool to predict the addition reactivities of carbene analogues and sidewalls of various nanotubes, respectively. Moreover, the results obtained in this work allow a number of predictions to be made.     

Dynamic ultrasound-assisted extraction of polyphenols in tobacco

A novel extraction method, namely dynamic ultrasound-assisted extraction, is investigated. This technique is efficient with respect to both time and solvent consumption because it utilizes ultrasonic energy in dynamic mode during extraction. Polyphenols (chlorogenic acid, esculetin, rutin, scopoletin, and quercitrin) are extracted from a tobacco (Nicotina tobaccum L.) sample for 10 min with 6 mL of solvent. Fresh solvent is continuously pumped through the sample, with which the analytes can be rapidly extracted, and the possibility of degradation efficiently avoided. Methanol involving 0.5% w/v ascorbic acid was used as extraction solvent; optimal flow rate and extraction time were investigated. The extract was cleaned up by C18 disposable cartridge. The spiked and nonspiked tobacco samples were used for the evaluation of the proposed method. Recoveries obtained were varied from 96 to 108% and RSDs from 2.0 to 4.6%. This extraction technique was revealed to recover larger amounts of polyphenols from tobacco, compared to the static ultrasound-assisted extraction method.
