报道了一种不含胶凝剂的凝胶电解质的制备及在准固态染料敏化太阳能电池中的应用.这种新型凝胶电解质仅含有机溶剂和碘盐,即3-甲氧基丙腈、苯胺、三碘化铝和碘.上述混合物通过路易斯酸性三碘化铝离子导体和路易斯碱性苯胺有机溶剂间的路易斯酸-碱相互作用形成凝胶,无需额外添加传统凝胶电解质的关键组分—胶凝剂.形成的三碘化铝-苯胺复合物在凝胶电解质中能同时发挥离子导体和胶凝剂的作用.红外光谱图中苯胺的氨基和苯环特征峰的变化证实了三碘化铝-苯胺复合物的形成.含这种新型凝胶电解质的准固态染料敏化太阳能电池光电性能和稳定性与含三碘化铝-3-甲氧基丙腈液体电解质的染料敏化太阳能电池相比有很大提高.     

Principal component analysis and multicomponent surface free energy theories

The same underlying mathematical structure characterizes some of the most popular multicomponent models for the prediction of surface free energies and adhesion works. After a brief illustration of the general methods for the computation of liquid and solid components in typical multicomponent theories, it is shown that both model definition and component estimate may take great advantage from application of Principal Component Analysis techniques, owing to the very peculiar structure of adhesion work equations. It is also put into evidence that a problem of scale multiplicity arises as a consequence of the symmetries involved in the model equations for adhesion work and surface free energy. A special discussion is devoted to the specific cases of van Oss–Chaudhury–Good acid–base theory, Qin–Chang model and extended Drago theory, which constitute the most common multicomponent models usually applied in the analysis of adhesion phenomena.      

Electrochemical and Spectral Behaviour of a New Cardiotonic Drug (Sulmazole)

Abstract

Spectrophotometric and electrochemical properties of sulmazole are studied. The acid-base constants are calculated (pk_a1 = 3.88 ± 0.04 and pK_a2 = 11.39 ± 0.06).

The drug can be spectrophotometrically determined between 4.01 × 10^?5 M and 4.02 × 10^?6 M at 327 nm with relative errors lower than 0.4 % and relative standard deviations lower than 2.0 %.

The electrochemical reduction of sulmazole was investigated by DCT, DP polarography and cyclic voltammetry. Reduction of the drug was carried out in two irreversible steps using Britton-Robinson bu ffer (pH < 7). Half-wave potentials for 1.53 × 10^?4 M sulmazole at pH 2.5 are -0.825 V and -0.995 V (versus Ag/AgCl/3M KC1).

Two different methods for determination of sulmazole in tablets are proposed.     

Current Status of Polarography and Voltammetry in Analytical Chemistry

ABSTRACT

Even in the age of separations and atomic absorption electroanalytical methods can be methods of choice in some special cases. To decide when polarography with a dropping mercury electrode or voltammetry with other types of electrodes can be successfully used, limitations and advantages of analytical applications of these techniques are summarized. Examples of recent application to some basic problems (lack of conjugation in C=N-N=C groupings, acid-base and hydration-dehydration reactions) and applied problems (analyses of heterogeneous suspensions used in investigation of Me²⁺ with bile salts, adsorption of pesticides on lignin, alkaline cleavage of lignin under mild conditions) are given.     

Potentiometric Determination of Acids and Bases using Silicone Rubber Based Graphite Electrode

Abstract

A silicone rubber based graphite electrode has been used as an indicator electrode for potentiometric acid-base titrations. The electrode potential changes an average of 30 mV per pH-unit. If the electrodes are pretreated with a solution of an oxidant before use, the pH-sensitivity is increased. The electrode can be used in both aqueous and non-aqueous solutions. A measuring cell, composed of a silicone rubber based graphite electrode of small surface area and a chloride-selective reference electrode, can be used for acid-base titrations in the micro range.     

SBA-15分子筛羟基结构性质及其催化活性的理论研究

采用密度泛函方法对SBA-15分子筛簇模型化合物进行了计算模拟,重点研究了簇模型化合物羟基的几何构型和电子结构性质。从键级、前线分子轨道、静电势和质子化能等方面探讨了表面羟基的酸碱及氧化还原性质。分子筛模型化合物的静电势图显示SBA-15分子筛表面孤立羟基的H原子为分子筛表面的L酸性位,而氢键羟基的O原子则为分子筛表面的B碱性位。分子筛的前线分子轨道研究发现,表面羟基是分子筛表面的氧化还原活性位。计算得到的羟基SiO-H键级及形成的氢键键级分别在0.677 5～0.710 5和0.055 7～0.092 6范围,计算羟基OH的质子化能在1 471～1 589 kJ.mol-1范围。考察分子筛表面的质子化能显示未参与形成氢键的羟基H质子具有较强的B酸性。     

A Highly Water-Soluble and Solid State Emissive 1,8-Naphthalimide as a Fluorescent PET Probe for Determination of pHs,Acid/Base Vapors,and Water Content in Organic Solvents

A new highly water-soluble 1,8-naphthalimide fluorophore designed on the “fluorophore-spacer-receptor₁-receptor₂” model has been synthesized. Due to the unusually high solubility in water, the novel compound proved to be a selective PET-based probe for the determination of pHs in aqueous solutions and rapid detection of water content in organic solvents. Based on the pH dependence of the probe and its high water solubility, the INH logic gate was achieved using NaOH and water as chemical inputs, where NaOH is the disabler and the water is an enabler. In addition, the probe showed effective fluorescence “off-on” reversibility on glass support after exposure to acid and base vapors, which defines it as a promising platform for rapid detection of acid/base vapors in the solid-state, thus extending the molecular sensing concept from solution to the solid support.
