Variations of structures on changing the ratios of metal ions in rare Ca(II)–Zn(II) hetero-metallic self-assembled coordination polymers of hexamethylenetetramine and benzoate

Two rare hetero-metallic calcium(II)-zinc(II) complexes [CaZn₄(OBz)₁₀(μ₂-hmt)₂]_n (1) and [Ca₂Zn₄(OBz)₁₂(μ₂-hmt)₂]_n (2) have been synthesized using basic zinc carbonate, benzoic acid (HOBz), hydrated calcium chloride and hexamethylenetetramine (hmt) by varying the molar ratio of the reactants. Both the complexes have been analyzed by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The complex 1 is a 1D polymer which contains one calcium ion and four zinc atoms in the asymmetric unit together with ten benzoates and two hmts. The polymer has been constructed by the alternate joining of paddle-wheel Zn₂(OBz)₄ units and Zn₂Ca trinuclear species by μ₂-hmt bridging molecules connecting Zn²⁺ ions. Zinc atoms have five coordinate square pyramidal geometries and four coordinate tetrahedral geometries in Zn₂(OBz)₄ and Zn₂Ca moieties, respectively, whereas calcium atoms have six-coordinate distorted octahedral geometry. Complex 2 is also a 1D polymer but unlike complex 1, it contains four independent zinc and two independent calcium atoms in the asymmetric unit together with twelve benzoates and two hmts. By contrast, the polymeric structure of complex 2 has been formed by the connection of Zn₂Ca trinuclear species via μ₂ hmt bridging molecules at Zn centers. Complex 2 is also a 1D polymer but unlike complex 1, it contains four independent zinc and three independent calcium atoms in the asymmetric unit together with twelve benzoates and two hmts. All four zinc atoms are four coordinate with tetrahedral environments and the calcium atoms are six coordinated (two are located on a center of symmetry) exhibiting a distorted octahedral geometry.     

Simple fabrication of Cu~(2+) doped calcium alginate hydrogel filtration membrane with excellent anti-fouling and antibacterial properties

Herein,copper ion doped calcium alginate(Cu~(2+)/CaAlg) composite hydrogel filtration membranes were prepared by using natural polymer sodium alginate(NaAlg) as raw material.The thermal stability and structure of the composite membranes were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis and infrared spectroscopy.The mechanical strength,anti-fouling performance,hydrophilicity and filtration performance of the membrane were studied.The results show that Cu~(2+)/CaAlg hydrogel membrane has excelle nt mechanical properties and thermal stability.The anti-swelling ability of the membrane was greatly enhanced by doping Cu~(2+).After three alternate filtration cycles,the flux recovery rate of Cu~(2+)/CaAlg hydrogel membrane can still reach 85%,indicating that the membrane has good antipollution performance.When the operation pressure was 0.1 MPa,the rejection of coomassie brilliant blue G250 reached 99.8% with a flux of 46.3 L m ~2 h ~1,while the Na_2 SO_4 rejection was less than 10.0%.The Cu~(2+)/CaAlg membrane was recycled after 24 h in the filtration process,and its flux and rejection rate did not decrease significantly,indicating that the hydrogel membrane has long-term application potential.The Cu~(2+)/CaAlg membrane has a wide range of applications prospect in dye desalination,fine separation and biopharmaceutical technology fields.     

Structural,optical and dielectric relaxor properties of neodymium doped cubic perovskite (Ba1−xNd2x/3)(Zr0.3Ti0.7)O3

Neodymium doped Barium Zirconate Titanate (Ba_1−xNd_2x/3)(Zr_0.3Ti_0.7)O₃ (x = 0.00, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10) ceramics were prepared using the solid state reaction route. Structural characterizations of the materials were done by using X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. XRD study suggested that all the compositions were of single phase cubic perovskite structure with space group Pm-3m while Raman spectra revealed that the replacement of the Ba²⁺ ions by Nd³⁺ ions significantly reduced the intensity of the Raman active modes and shifted them towards higher energy side. Room temperature optical property was analyzed by photoluminescence spectroscopy, which confirmed formation of shallow defects in the band gap. Photoluminescence property was attributed to the presence of polar [TiO₆] distorted clusters in the globally cubic matrix. As a result PL emission spectra of these materials were found to belong to violet–blue regions. Microstructural study of sintered pellets revealed that the grain sizes increase with increase in doping concentration. The temperature dependence of the dielectric properties was investigated in the frequency range 1 kHz to 1 MHz. The broadening in the dielectric constant peak around the phase transition temperature and shifting of the temperature maximum towards higher temperatures with increase in frequency indicated a relaxor type of behavior.

Entrapment of organic fluorophores in calcium phosphate nanoparticles with slow release

Two organic fluorophores, fluorescein (F) and rhodamine B (Rd), were entrapped in calcium phosphate nanoparticles. The as-obtained nanoparticles can be used for biological release applications. For this aim, calcium phosphate nanoparticles were synthesized using the precipitation method. Structural analysis of these nanoparticles was performed using XRD, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopy, confirming that the synthesized nanoparticles were hydroxyapatite. TEM and SEM analyses demonstrated that these nanoparticles had a size of 20 nm and a well-defined morphology. F and Rd (about 0.5 wt.%) were entrapped in these nanoparticles and their release, as a function of time, was studied via UV-Vis spectroscopy. The obtained results showed that the release of both fluorophores was progressive over time. The trapping efficiencies of the fluorophores were 67.15% and 90.76% for F and Rd, respectively.
