Synthesis and characterization of multifunctional silica core-shell nanocomposites with magnetic and fluorescent functionalities

Multifunctional core-shell nanocomposites with a magnetic core and a silica shell doped with lanthanide chelate have been prepared by a simple method. First, citric acid-modified magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized by a chemical coprecipitation method. Then the magnetite nanoparticles were coated with silica shells doped with terbium (Tb³⁺) complex by a modified Stöber method based on hydrolyzing and condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and a silane precursor. These multifunctional nanocomposites are potentially useful in a variety of biological areas such as bio-imaging, bio-labeling and bioassays because they can be simultaneously manipulated with an external magnetic field and exhibit unique phosphorescence properties.     

Synthesis and IR-Spectral Characterization of Mixed-Ligand Solid State Complexes of Some Lanthanoides with Mono-(2-ethylhexyl) Phosphoric Acid

The synthesis of a new type of complexes of Y, Nd and Er with mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid is reported. The elemental composition, IR-spectral data and thermogravimetric analysis prove the presence of both mono-and bivalent ions of the acid as ligands as well as of NO₃-ions. The IR-spectrum is interpreted in comparison with those of other lanthanoid complexes of the same acid.     

An Overview of The Photoacoustic Phase Spectra of Rare Earth Complexes

Abstract

The photoacoustic(PA) amplitude and phase spectra of several kinds of rare earth (RE) complexes are reported and summarized briefly. It is observed that both the amplitude and phase spectra well characterize the different energy levels of the RE complexes. The phase angle of the RE complexes is associated with the relaxation time τ and the optical absorption coefficient β concerning with the π-π? transition and the f-f transitions, respectively. After individual detailed discussion of the phase spectra, a reasonable theoretical consideration is given to interpret the results.     

Optical shuttering action in nematic phase of SMHBLC: observation of a ribbon-like texture

In this study, complexes belonging to supramolecular hydrogen-bonded liquid crystal homologous series are synthesized and characterized. Hydrogen bond is formed between p-n-alkyloxy benzoic acids (nBAO, where n?=?5–11) and chlorobenzoic acid (ClBAO), respectively. The isolated homologues are characterized by various techniques such as polarizing optical microscopic (POM) studies, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and Fourier transform–infrared spectroscopy. Based on the POM and DSC studies, the phase diagram has been constructed and discussed. A new smectic ordering, labeled as smectic R, has been characterized, which exhibits a ribbon-like texture. This phase is observed in the complexes pertaining to the higher homologous series. Tilt angle in this phase has been experimentally deduced and the results are fitted to the power law which concurs with the mean-field theory predicted value. Optical shuttering action in the homologue has been detected in the nematic phase and the results are also discussed.     

X-ray diffuse scattering from incommensurable structures

X-Ray diffuse scattering from a series of examples where the reason for the existence of incommensurable features is fairly well understood, is described. They include in particular non stoichiometric compounds such as [DIPS Φ₄(l₃)0.76] and such as intercalated graphite RbC₂₄. and quasi one dimensional conductors. A particular emphasis is given on various 1 - D conductors and to the relation of the incommensurability to the characteristics of the electron conduction bands.     

Radiophotolumenescence of Irradiated Polymethylmethacrylate Doped with Some Charge Transfer Complexes

Radiophotolumenescence (RPL) of irradiated and non irradiated thin films of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) doped with anthracene (Anth) as a donor, and tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) as an acceptor, has been investigated. The RPL – glow spectrum was recorded to study the characterizing emission bands from the point of view of glow peak position and intensity and hence the prospective relative sensitivities. RFL – signal fading after one month storage in dark at room temperature post gamma irradiation was also studied. PMMA doped with 6:4 donor to acceptor ratio has been proved to be the most sensitive one with less fading regarding gamma detection. On the other hand 2 Anth: 8 TCNQ was found to be the proper dopant concentration ratio for thermal neutron detection.     

Reaktion von Pyridin-2-Carbonsäure Mit Tetrabutylammonium-Tetrachloro-Nitridotechnetat(VI) Sowie Tetrabutylammonium-Tetrachlorooxotechnetat (V)

Abstract

The reaction of 2-pyridine carboxylic acid (Hpic) with (n-Bu₄N)[TcNCl₄] and (n-Bu₄N)[TcOCl₄] in ethanol and methanol, respectively, yields the dinuclear μ-oxo complex [(pic)₂NTc-O-TcN(pic)(Hpic)Cl] and the monomeric complex [TcO(pic)₂Cl].

Visible and infrared spectroscopy, ESR, ¹H-NMR and ⁹⁹Tc-NMR have been used to characterize the new compounds. The most important field of application for the new compounds synthesized is radiodiagnostics.     

N,N-二[(二苯基膦)甲基]-2-吡啶胺溴化铜(Ⅰ)配合物的合成和光谱

合成了一种新配体N,N-二[(二苯基膦)甲基]-2-吡啶胺(L)及其双核铜(Ⅰ)配合物(CuBrL)2(1),采用1HNMR、吸收光谱、质谱和元素分析等方法对化合物进行表征,并通过X射线单晶衍射确定配合物1的晶体结构。该晶体结构属三斜晶系,P-1空间点群。配合物1是中心对称的双核Cu(Ⅰ)配合物,中心离子Cu(Ⅰ)采取扭曲四面体空间构型,分别与配体L的两个P原子和两个桥联的Br原子配位;其中Cu-Cu距离为0.3060nm,大于两个铜原子的范德华半径之和,因此不存在Cu-Cu相互作用。密度泛函理论(DFT)计算表明1的HOMO电子密度主要集中于铜和卤素原子,而LUMO电子密度分布在配体(L)上。研究工作表明,配合物1的最低能级激发态通过金属到配体电荷跃迁(MLCT)和卤素到配体的电荷跃迁(XLCT)两种机制形成。     

吩噻嗪表面增强拉曼光谱的密度泛函理论研究

吩噻嗪是含有N、S的杂环化合物,具有大的离域π键。用Gaussian 09程序,在B3LYP方法下,Ag原子使用LANL2DZ赝式基组,C、H、N、S等原子使用6-31++G(d,p)基组,优化并计算了吩噻嗪和吩噻嗪银配合物(PTH-Ag)的拉曼光谱,并利用GaussianView对PTH分子进行归属,为食品和产品中吩噻嗪残留的定性、定量测定提供理论依据。计算结果说明连接Ag原子越多,增强效果越明显。     

Long-Lived Luminescent Re(I) Complexes Containing cis-Carbonyl and Bidentate Phosphine Ligands

Highly emissive Re(I) complexes, hydrophobic cis-Re(CO)₂(c-dppene)(dpphen) and water-soluble cis-Re(CO)₂(c-dppene)(SO₃-dpphen) with a negative charge, were synthesized [where c-dppene is cis-(bis(diphenylphosphino)ethylene, dpphen is 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline, and SO₃-dpphen is its disulfonate derivative]. These Re(I) complexes have significantly higher molar absorption in the 350- to 490-nm region compared to their tricarbonyl Re(I) counterparts and their emission spectra are similar to those of Ru(II) polypyridyl complexes. The luminescence lifetimes of these Re(I) complexes approach 10 s in the absence of oxygen in both aqueous and less polar solvents. The complexes have limiting anisotropy values exceeding 0.3. As both ligands, the diimine and the bidentate phosphine, can be modified by adding different substituents, it should be possible to make cis-Re(CO)₂(diimine)(P-P) derivatives which are capable of labeling biomacromolecules for biochemical and biophysical studies.
