Electrochemical Sensor for Sensitive Determination of Ga(III) Ion Based on β‐Cyclodextrin Incorporated Multi‐walled Carbon Nanotubes and Imprinted Sol‐gel Composite Film

A novel sensor for detection of trace gallium ion [Ga(III)] was created by stepwise modification of a gold electrode with β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD)/multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and an ion imprinted polymer (IIP). The sensor surface morphology was characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The electrochemical performance of the imprinted sensor was investigated by cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The sensor displayed excellent selectivity towards the target Ga(III) ion. Meanwhile, the introduced MWCNTs displayed noticeable catalytic activity, and β‐CD demonstrated significant enrichment capacity. A linear calibration curve was obtained covering the concentration range from 5.0×10^?8 to 1.0×10^?4 mol·L^?1, with a detection limit of 7.6×10^?9 mol·L^?1. The proposed sensor was successfully applied to detect Ga(III) in real urine samples.     

Novel Synthesis of 2‐Alkylquinolizinium‐1‐olates and Their 1,3‐Dipolar Cycloaddition Reactions with Acetylenes

Several 2‐alkylquinolizinium‐1‐olates 9 , i.e., heterobetaines, were prepared from ketone 11 , the latter being readily available either from pyridine‐2‐carbaldehyde via a Grignard reaction, followed by oxidation with MnO₂, or from 2‐picolinic acid (=pyridine‐2‐carboxylic acid) via the corresponding Weinreb amide and subsequent Grignard reaction. Mesoionic heterobetaines such as quinolizinium derivatives have the potential to undergo cycloaddition reactions with double and triple bonds, e.g., 1,3‐dipolar cycloadditions or Diels? Alder reactions. We here report on the scope and limitations of cycloaddition reactions of 2‐alkylquinolizinium‐1‐olates 9 with electron‐poor acetylene derivatives. As main products of the reaction, 5‐oxopyrrolo[2,1,5‐de]quinolizines (=‘[2.3.3]cyclazin‐5‐ones’) 19 were formed via a regioselective [2+3] cycloaddition, and cyclohexadienone derivatives, formed via a Diels? Alder reaction, were obtained as side products. The structures of 2‐benzylquinolizinium‐1‐olate ( 9a ) and two ‘[2.3.3]cyclazin‐5‐ones’ 19i and 19l were established by X‐ray crystallography.     

Highly Enantioselective Iridium‐Catalyzed Hydrogenation of α,β‐Unsaturated Esters

α,β‐Unsaturated esters have been employed as substrates in iridium‐catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation. Full conversions and good to excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99 % ee) were obtained for a broad range of substrates with both aromatic‐ and aliphatic substituents on the prochiral carbon. The hydrogenated products are highly useful as building blocks in the synthesis of a variety of natural products and pharmaceuticals.     

Matrix‐assisted laser ablation production of gold cluster ions from Au‐coated photonic crystals

A new strategy was explored to generate pure gold cluster ions, Au_n^+/?, from gold films deposited on solid substrates via a matrix‐assisted laser ablation technique. The gold films deposited on SiO₂‐particle‐assembled photonic crystals were demonstrated to be the most ideal compared with the films deposited on various glass slides. Dropped with a matrix of 2‐(4‐hydroxyphenylazo) benzoic acid and bombarded by nitrogen pulse laser (355 nm), they could release a series of Au_n⁺ with n more than 110 or Au_n^? with n more than 60 according to the data obtained by inline time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry. The gold‐deposited photonic crystal substrates could be stored at room temperature for at least 6 months. The method is hence steady and convenient in use.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of One Mixed- ligand Coordination Polymer Based on the Novel Terphenyl-2,5,2',5'-tetracarboxylic Acid Ligand

Solvothermal reaction of aromatic terphenyl-2,5,2',5'-tetracarboxylic acid (H 4 qptc) ligand and the transitional metal cation of Mn II in the presence of 3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazole (pp) affords one new coordination polymer, [Mn(qptc)0.5(pp)2]n·n(H2O) (1). The structure has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses and further characterized by elemental analyses, IR, TGA, and magnetism. The carboxyl groups of qptc 4-exhibit a μ1-η1 :η 0 coordination mode, and the qptc4- acts as a H-shaped ligand linking the Mn Ⅱ centers together to form a 2D polymeric [Mn(qptc) 0.5 ] n layer. The crystal of 1 crystallizes in orthorhombic, space group Pbca with a=9.3119(12), b=20.848(3), c=26.134(3) , V=5073.4(11) 3 , Z=8, C27H19MnN6O5 , Mr=562.42, Dc=1.473 g/cm3 , F(000)=2304 and μ(MoKα)=0.571 mm-1 . The final R=0.0468 and wR=0.1196 for 4429 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I) and R=0.0797 and wR=0.1383 for all data.

Growth of CuInS2 Nanotubes from Cu2S-CuInS2 Heterostructures as a Potential Photovoltaic Material

Chemically synthesized nanostructures possess well-defined domains with an interconnected network, which helps the carriers to bypass the other material in the solar cell while moving to their respective electrodes. In this work, CuInS₂ films constituting CuInS₂ nanotubes and nanoparticles were fabricated using a hot-injection chemical technique, followed by sulfurization. Structural and microstructural investigations reveal Cu₂S nanoparticle formation at an early stage of growth of nanotubes, serving as possible catalyst sites for the subsequent anisotropic growth of the heterostructured hexagons. The crossover takes place over a number of intermediate stages. This sharing of the heterostructure by the hexagonal Cu₂S and chalcopyrite CuInS₂ minimizes the lattice distortion. The Cu₂S- CuInS₂ interface in the heterostructure acts as the nucleation center for CuInS₂ nanotubes. Optical absorption and Raman spectroscopy studies reveal better optical properties for CuInS₂ nanoparticles as compared to CuInS₂ nanotubes. Compared to all other nanostructures, nanowires or nanotubes tend to provide single-crystalline nanograins for direct characterization. These nanoparticles, especially the nanotubes, can be used to form an interconnected network structure of p- and n-type materials in bulk heterojunctions providing the key to improve solar cell efficiencies.     

Determination of Fluoride by Fluorescence Quenching

Abstract

A fluorescence quenching method for the determination of fluoride ion over the concentration range from 10^?9 to 10^?6M is presented. The fluoride ion is added to the fluorescent chelate of aluminum(III) and PAN [1- (2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol]: the fluoride preferentially complexes the aluminum (III), displacing nonfluorescent PAN. Of the anions tested as possible interferences at equimolar levels, phosphate interferred seriously and iodide interferred somewhat.
