Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Fluorescent Property of One New Complex [Na2（2-benzoylbenzoato）4（Phen）2（H2O）2]·H2O

One binuclear sodium(Ⅰ) complex [Na2(2-benzoylbenzoato)4(Phen)2(H2O)2]·H2O has been synthesized with 2-benzoylbenzoic acid and 1,10-henanthroline as ligands. The crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to the triclinic system with space group P , a = 1.08096(8), b = 1.09619(8), c = 1.09740(8) nm, α = 79.0600(1), β = 71.0450(1), γ = 62.0540(1)o, V = 1.08533(1) nm3, Dc = 1.421 g/cm3, Z = 2, F(000) = 484, GOOF = 1.036, the final R = 0.0363 and wR = 0.0961. The crystal structure shows that two neighboring sodium(Ⅰ) ions are linked together by two bridging water molecules, and each end position is coordinated with one 1,10-phenanthroline molecule and one 2-benzoylbenzoato to form a binuclear structure. Each sodium(Ⅰ) ion in the molecule is coordinated with five atoms to give a distorted trigonal bipyramid. The fluorescence property of the title complex is also discussed.

Maintaining the predictive abilities of multivariate calibration models by spectral space transformation

In quantitative on-line/in-line monitoring of chemical and bio-chemical processes using spectroscopic instruments, multivariate calibration models are indispensable for the extraction of chemical information from complex spectroscopic measurements. The development of reliable multivariate calibration models is generally time-consuming and costly. Therefore, once a reliable multivariate calibration model is established, it is expected to be used for an extended period. However, any change in the instrumental response or variations in the measurement conditions can render a multivariate calibration model invalid. In this contribution, a new method, spectral space transformation (SST), has been developed to maintain the predictive abilities of multivariate calibration models when the spectrometer or measurement conditions are altered. SST tries to eliminate the spectral differences induced by the changes in instruments or measurement conditions through the transformation between two spectral spaces spanned by the corresponding spectra of a subset of standardization samples measured on two instruments or under two sets of experimental conditions. The performance of the method has been tested on two data sets comprising NIR and MIR spectra. The experimental results show that SST can achieve satisfactory analyte predictions from spectroscopic measurements subject to spectrometer/probe alteration, when only a few standardization samples are used. Compared with the existing popular methods designed for the same purpose, i.e. global PLS, univariate slope and bias correction (SBC) and piecewise direct standardization (PDS), SST has the advantages of implementation simplicity, wider applicability and better performance in terms of predictive accuracy.     

3-D mesoporous nano/micro-structured Fe3O4/C as a superior anode material for lithium-ion batteries

Urchin-like nano/micro-structured Fe₃O₄/C composite has been successfully synthesized using inexpensive starting materials. The urchin-shaped nano/micro-structure consisted of several oriented nanorods. TEM analysis revealed that there is a large number of pores and uniform amorphous carbon distribution at a nanoscale in the nanorods walls. As used in lithium-ion batteries, the mesoporous Fe₃O₄/C anode delivered a higher reversible capacity of about 830?mAh?g^?1 at 0.1?C up to 50 cycles, as well as enhanced high-rate capability compared with urchin-like Fe₂O₃ and commercial Fe₃O₄. The improvements can be attributed to the combined effects of the nano/micro-architecture, the porosity, and the ultra-fine carbon matrix, where the three factors would contribute to possess both the merits of nanometer-sized building blocks and micro-sized assemblies and provide high electronic conductivity. It is believed that the results of this study offer new prospects for improving the lithium storage capacity of metal oxides by controlling both architecture and composition.     

Bi2S3 nanomaterials: morphology manipulation and related properties

The Bi(2)S(3) nanomaterials with various morphologies such as nanorods, nanowires, nanowire bundles, urchin-like microspheres and urchin-like microspheres with cavities have been successfully synthesized through a simple hydrothermal method. Experimental results indicate that sulfur sources play crucial roles in determining the morphologies of Bi(2)S(3) products. Moreover, formation mechanisms of different Bi(2)S(3) nanostructures are discussed based on understanding of the growth habit of Bi(2)S(3) crystal. Finally, we also studied the morphologies-dependent electrochemical and optical properties of the as-synthesized Bi(2)S(3) nanomaterials.

Highly accurate and simple analytical approach to nonlinear Poisson–Boltzmann equation

A novel method is suggested to analytically solve a nonlinear Poisson–Boltzmann (NLPB) equation. The method consists chiefly of reducing the NLPB equation to linear PB equation in several segments by approximating a free term of the NLPB equation by piecewise linear functions, and then, solving analytically the linear PB equation in each segment. Superiority of the method is illustrated by applying the method to solve the NLPB equation describing a colloid sphere immersed in an arbitrary valence and mixed electrolyte solution; extensive test indicates that the resulting analytical expressions for both the electrical potential distribution Ψ (r) and surface charge density/surface potential relationship (σ/Ψ ₀) are characterized with two properties that mathematical structures are much simpler than those previously reported and application scope can be arbitrarily wide by adjusting the linear interpolation range. Finally, it is noted that the method is “universal” in that its applications are not limited to the NLPB equation.     

A Third‐Generation Hydrogen Peroxide Biosensor Based on Horseradish Peroxidase Immobilized in Carbon Nanotubes/ SBA‐15 Film

A new third‐generation biosensor for H₂O₂ assay was developed on the basis of the immobilization of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in a nanocomposite film of carbon nanotubes (CNTs)‐SBA‐15 modified gold electrode. The biological activity of HRP immobilizing in the composite film was characterized by UV‐vis spectra. The HRP immobilized in the nanocomposite matrix displayed excellent electrocatalytic activity to the reduction of H₂O₂. The effects of the experimental variables such as solution pH and working potential were investigated using steady‐state amperometry. Under the optimal conditions, the resulting biosensor showed a linear range from 1 µM to 7 mM and a detection limit of 0.5 µM (S/N=3). Moreover, the stability and reproducibility of this biosensor were evaluated with satisfactory results.     

A Porous Organic Poly(triphenylimidazole) Decorated with Palladium Nanoparticles for the Cyanation of Aryl Iodides

A new porous organic poly(triphenylimidazole), PTPI‐Me, was prepared through a Yamamoto self‐coupling reaction of 2,4,5‐tris‐(4‐bromophenyl)‐1‐methyl‐1H‐imidazole (TPI‐Me) in the presence of bis(1,5‐cyclooctadiene)nickel(0). The polymer was subsequently decorated with Pd nanoparticles (NPs) to afford a heterogeneous cyanation catalyst, Pd@PTPI‐Me. Pd NPs with an average diameter of 2.7 nm were grown within the PTPI‐Me framework, owing to the coordination of the imidazole rings to the Pd species. The resultant Pd@PTPI‐Me catalyst, with a Pd loading of 0.13 mmol g^?1, exhibited superior catalytic activity for the cyanation of aryl iodides. More importantly, the heterogeneous catalyst was also readily recycled and displayed negligible deactivation after five cycles.
