Electron paramagnetic resonance studies of photorefractive crystals II: Fe3+ doped Bi12SiO20 with copper vapour laser illumination in 10–100 K range

Photo-induced charge transfer and its kinetics were investigated in Bi₁₂SiO₂₀ in 10–300 K temperature range, using EPR of Fe³⁺ centre, underin situ illumination with copper vapour laser (CVL). The decay kinetics was found to follow double exponential behaviour. Relaxation of the photo-induced electron transfer to the preillumination condition occurred even at 10 K. Shallow traps were, therefore, associated with the electron trapping, leading to a better understanding of the fast photorefractive response of BSO.     

pH值对Bi_2MoO_6晶体形貌和可见光催化性能的影响

以(NH4)6Mo7O24·4H2O和Bi(NO3)3·5H2O为原料,采用普通水热法制备Bi2Mo O6光催化剂,研究p H值对制备该光催化剂的影响。对所制备的系列样品,采用X-射线衍射仪(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、比表面积分析仪、X射线光电子能谱仪(XPS)和紫外-可见漫反射(UV-Vis DRS)进行表征。结果表明:p H值对Bi2Mo O6晶体的物相组成、形貌和光催化性能均有显著影响。p H值为1~7时,所制备的样品为纯相Bi2Mo O6,p H值为9或11时,出现第二相Bi3.64Mo0.36O6.55;随着p H值的升高,形貌依次为纳米棒、纳米片和无规则纳米颗粒。在可见光(λ≥420 nm)照射下,通过光催化降解罗丹明B(Rhodamine B,Rh B),探讨了制备Bi2Mo O6的p H值对其可见光催化活性的影响。当p H=7时,制备的样品光催化效果最好,光照50 min后对初始浓度为5 mg·L-1的罗丹明B溶液的降解率为85%。

Lead‐Free,Air‐Stable All‐Inorganic Cesium Bismuth Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals

Lead‐based perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have outstanding optical properties and cheap synthesis conferring them a tremendous potential in the field of optoelectronic devices. However, two critical problems are still unresolved and hindering their commercial applications: one is the fact of being lead‐based and the other is the poor stability. Lead‐free all‐inorganic perovskite Cs₃Bi₂X₉ (X=Cl, Br, I) NCs are synthesized with emission wavelength ranging from 400 to 560 nm synthesized by a facile room temperature reaction. The ligand‐free Cs₃Bi₂Br₉ NCs exhibit blue emission with photoluminescence quantum efficiency (PLQE) about 0.2 %. The PLQE can be increased to 4.5 % when extra surfactant (oleic acid) is added during the synthesis processes. This improvement stems from passivation of the fast trapping process (2–20 ps). Notably, the trap states can also be passivated under humid conditions, and the NCs exhibited high stability towards air exposure exceeding 30 days.     

A novel biological strategy for morphology control of PbWO4 crystals in tomato extract

PbWO(4) crystals were readily synthesized by reacting lead oxide (PbO(2)) with sodium tungstate (Na(2)WO(4)·2H(2)O) at room temperature in the presence of tomato extract. Biomolecules such as vitamins, proteins in the extract played both the roles of reductant and template. The size and morphology of the PbWO(4) crystals could be controlled by adjusting the concentration of the reactants. When the concentration ratio of PbO(2) and Na(2)WO(4) was increased, the morphologies of the products varied from spherical to fusiform. Room-temperature fluorescence spectra indicated the products had a slight blue shift compared to the solid structure, which may be due to the structure defects in the crystals. The possible mechanism of PbWO(4) crystal growth in tomato extract was discussed.

Domino Pd-catalyzed Heck cyclization and bismuth-catalyzed hydroamination: formal synthesis of elacomine and isoelacomine

The formal synthesis of hemiterpene spirooxindole alkaloids elacomine (1) and isoelacomine (2) is described. Heck reaction of protected iodoanilines with 5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-one or six-membered unsaturated lactams was investigated. The coupling product was readily converted to a carbamoyl chloride with an incorporated diene unit. The spiro(pyrrolidine-3,3'-oxindole) skeleton, which corresponds to the carbon skeleton of 1 and 2, was efficiently constructed from this intermediate by using a domino palladium-catalyzed Heck reaction and bismuth-catalyzed hydroamination. An isolated byproduct of the reaction could also be converted to the spirooxindole skeleton.     

From {Bi22O26} to chiral ligand-protected {Bi38O45}-based bismuth oxido clusters

The reaction of [Bi(22)O(26)(OSiMe(2)tBu)(14)] (1) in THF with salicylic acid gave [Bi(22)O(24)(HSal)(14)] (2) first, which was converted into [Bi(38)O(45)(HSal)(22)(OH)(2)(DMSO)(16.5)]·DMSO·H(2)O (3·DMSO·H(2)O) after dissolution and crystallization from DMSO. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and ESI mass spectrometry associated with infrared multi-photon dissociation (IRMPD) tandem MS experiments confirm the formation of the large and quite stable bismuth oxido cluster 3. The reaction of compound 2 with the butoxycarbonyl(BOC)-protected amino acids phenylalanine and valine (BOC-PheOH and BOC-ValOH), respectively, resulted in the formation of chiral [Bi(38)O(45)(BOC-AA)(22)(OH)(2)] (AA=deprotonated amino acid), as shown by a combination of different analytical techniques such as elemental analysis, dynamic light scattering, circular dichroism spectroscopy, and ESI mass spectrometry.
