将苯甲酸钠分别加入到氯化钙和氯化铕以及氯化钡和氯化铕混合溶液中反应,制备了苯甲酸铕-钙和苯甲酸铕-钡两个系列的三元固体配合物,其化学组成式为（Eu1-xCax）L3-x和（Eu1-xBax）L3-x（其中L为苯甲酸根,x=0～1．0）,研究了它们的红外光谱和荧光性能。由红外数据表明,配合物中对称和反对称伸缩振动吸收峰发生了分裂,而且羧基伸缩振动随钙离子（钡离子）含量的增加发生规律性变化。荧光光谱实验结果表明,在一定范围内,用不发光的钙离子或者钡离子取代苯甲酸铕中部分Eu^3＋离子,可以使Eu^3＋离子的特征荧光发射增强,表明碱土金属可以敏化Eu离子。     

Synthesis of Nanoscale Bimetallic Particles in Polyelectrolyte Membrane Matrix for Reductive Transformation of Halogenated Organic Compounds

Nanosized Fe/Ni and Fe/Pd particles were synthesized in the polyacrylic acid (PAA)/polyether sulfone (PES) composite membrane matrix for reductive transformation of halogenated organic compounds (HOCs). The advantages of using membrane to immobilize nanoparticles are the reduction of particles loss, prevention of particles agglomeration, and potential application of convective flow. Cross-linked PAA/PES composite membranes containing metal ions as particles precursor were prepared by heat treatment with ethylene glycol (EG) as a cross-linking agent. Nanoscale metal particles were formed and immobilized inside the membrane matrix after reduction with sodium borohydride. Membrane morphology and structure were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Particle size and distribution were characterized by SEM and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) was used to obtain the qualitative and quantitative element information of particles. A specimen-drift-free EDS line profile and EDS mapping system was performed in a scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) to determine the two-dimensional element distribution of iron and nickel in the nano domain. In the dechlorination study with trichloroethylene (TCE) as a representative HOCs, rapid and complete destruction of TCE was achieved by using nanosized bimetallic Fe/Ni or Fe/Pd in PAA/PES composite membranes. Typically more than 95% of 10 mg/l TCE was reduced within 1 h. Ethane was found in the headspace as the main product.

Selective Etching of N‐Doped Graphene Meshes as Metal‐Free Catalyst with Tunable Kinetics,High Activity and the Origin of New Catalytic Behaviors

New N‐doped reduced graphene oxide (N‐RGO) meshes are facile fabricated by selective etching of 3–5 nm nanopores, with controllable doping of N dopants at an ultrahigh N/C ratio up to 15.6 at%, from pristine graphene oxide sheets in one‐pot hydrothermal reaction. The N‐RGO meshes are illustrated to be an efficient metal‐free catalyst toward hydrogenation of 4‐nitrophenol, with new catalytic behaviors emerging in following three aspects: (i) tunable kinetics following pseudofirst order from commonly observed pseudozero order; (ii) strikingly improved activity with 26‐fold increased rate constant (1.0 s⁻¹ g⁻¹ L); (iii) no induction time required prior to reaction due to depressed back conversion, and dramatically decreased apparent activation energy (E_a) (17 kJ mol⁻¹). The origin of these new catalytic properties can be assigned to the synergetic effects between graphitic N doping and structural defects arising from nanopores. Deeper understanding unveils that the concentration of graphitic N is inverse proportion to E_a, while the pyrrolic N has no impact on this reaction, and oxygenate groups hampers it. The porous nature allows the N‐RGO meshes to conduct catalyze reactions in continuous flow fashion.     

Self‐Assembly of Ag6 Clusters into Nanowires for Nonenzymatic Electrochemical Sensing of Glucose

Self‐assembly of metal nanoclusters into 3D ordered superstructures and the exploration of their electrochemical properties are highly significant for fundamental research and practical application. In this study, atomically precise Ag₆(NALC)₅ nanoclusters are successfully synthesized and their structure is determined carefully. It is interesting that the prepared Ag₆(NALC)₅ nanoclusters can be self‐assembled into ultrafine nanowires, long ribbons, and finally 3D porous network in the mixed solution of water and ethanol, which can be attributed to the solvent polarity, static electricity interaction between ligands, and the possible Van der Waals attractions. Such assembly phenomenon lays a foundation for the future fabrication of silver clusters‐based nanodevices. In addition, the synthesized silver nanoclusters can be used for electrochemical sensing of glucose with high detection sensitivity, selectivity, and low limit of detection. This work is expected to be helpful for the synthesis of atomically precise metal nanoclusters and their applications in fabrication of nanodevices for chemical sensors.     

Unusually Large Lattice Mismatch‐Induced Optical Behaviors of Au@Cu–Cu2O Core–Shell Nanocrystals with Noncentrally Located Cores

To extend the optical property characterization of metal–Cu₂O polyhedra, 50 nm Au@Cu cubic cores are used to fabricate Au@Cu–Cu₂O core–shell cubes, octahedra, and rhombic dodecahedra with tunable sizes. Despite the unusually large lattice mismatch of 15.1% between Cu and Cu₂O, fine adjustment in the volumes of reagents introduced allows the formation of these heterostructures. To relieve the lattice strain, the metal cores are essentially never found to locate at the particle center, and slight lattice spacing shifts are recorded. Although efforts are made to reduce the heterostructure sizes, the Cu₂O shells are generally too thick to reveal surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption band from the metal cores. Only the Au@Cu–Cu₂O cubes with many cores located near the particle corners show observable SPR band red‐shift, but UV–vis spectra of all particle shapes are still dominated by Cu₂O absorption and light scattering bands. Au@Cu–Cu₂O cubes consistently show the most red‐shifted absorption bands than those of octahedra resulting from the optical facet effects.     

Carbon‐Encapsulated Tube‐Wire Co3O4/MnO2 Heterostructure Nanofibers as Anode Material for Sodium‐Ion Batteries

This study presents a general approach for the synthesis of carbon‐encapsulated wire‐in‐tube Co₃O₄/MnO₂ heterostructure nanofibers (Co₃O₄/MnO₂@C) via electrospinning followed by calcination. The as‐synthesized Co₃O₄/MnO₂@C is investigated as the sodium‐ion batteries anode material, which not only exhibits a high reversible capacity of 306 mAh g⁻¹ at 100 mA g⁻¹ over 200 cycles, but also shows a cycling stability of 126 mAh g⁻¹ after 1000 cycles at a high current density of 800 mA g⁻¹. The excellent electrochemical performance can be ascribed to the contribution from carbon‐encapsulated outer‐tube Co₃O₄ and inner‐wire MnO₂ heterostructures, which offer a large internal space and good electrical conductivity. The present work can be helpful in providing new insights into heterostructures for sodium‐ion batteries and other applications.     

Red/Near‐Infrared Emissive Metalloporphyrin‐Based Nanodots for Magnetic Resonance Imaging‐Guided Photodynamic Therapy In Vivo

Near‐infrared emissive (NIR) porphyrin‐implanted carbon nanodots (PCNDs or MPCNDs) are prepared by selectively carbonization of free base or metal complexes [M = Zn(II) or Mn(III)] of tetra‐(meso‐aminophenyl)porphyrin in the presence of citric acid. The as‐prepared nanodots exhibit spontaneously NIR emission, small size, good aqueous dispersibility, and favorable biocompatibility characteristic of both porphyrins and pristine carbon nanodots. The subcellular localization experiment of nanodots indicates a lysosome‐targeting feature. And the in vitro photodynamic therapy (PDT) results on HeLa cells indicate the nanodots alone have no adverse effect on tumor cells, but display remarkable photodynamic efficacy upon irradiation. Moreover, MnPCNDs containing paramagnetic Mn(III) ions, which possesses good biocompatibility, NIR luminescence, and magnetic resonance imaging and efficient singlet oxygen production, are further studied in magnetic resonance imaging‐guided photodynamic therapy in vivo.
