Devising sensors for the perrhenate anion in aqueous media is extremely challenging, and has seldom been reported in the literature. Herein, we report a fluorescence turn-on sensor for the perrhenate anion in aqueous media based on the aggregation-induced emission of a popular ultrafast molecular rotor dye, Thioflavin-T. The selective response towards the perrhenate anion has been rationalized in terms of matching water affinity, with the weakly hydrated perrhenate anion spontaneously forming a contact ion pair with the weakly hydrated ultrafast molecule-rotor-based organic cation, Thioflavin-T, which in turn leads to an aggregate assembly that provides a fluorescence turn-on response towards perrhenate. The sensing response of Thioflavin-T has been found to be quite selective towards the perrhenate anion when tested against anions that are ubiquitously present in the environment, such as chloride, nitrate, and sulfate anions. The formation of self-assembled Thioflavin-T aggregates has also been investigated by time-resolved emission and temperature-dependent measurements. 相似文献
The title compound crystallizes with two independent molecules in the unit cell. The two molecules arecis-trans isomers. Crystal data: orthorhombic, P212121,a=7.0417(6),b=9.5341(9),c=25.411(2) Å,Z=8. The crystal structure has been solved by automated Patterson methods and refined toR=0.024 for 1843 observed reflections. 相似文献
Three candidates for potential applications as new nonlinear optical materials were investigated using x-ray crystallography to probe the structure and powder second harmonic generation to elicidate the nonlinear response of the materials. Three structures are reported: 1-benzylimidazolium phenylphosphonate, 2-ethylimidazolium phenylphosphonate, and 2-methylimidazolium phenylphosphonate. Of these three salts two, 2-ethylimidazolium phenylphosphonate and 2-methylimidazolium phenylphosphonate, are noncentrosymmetric and therefore display a nonlinear optical response. 相似文献
Four complexes of CuCN with imidazoles have been prepared by adding the ligand to a solution of CuCN in aqueous sodium thiosulfate. The imidazole ligands used were 2-methylimidazole (mim), 1,2-dimethylimidazole (dmim), 5-chloro-1-methylimidazole (clmim), and 2-phenylimidazole (phim). Complex 1, (CuCN)(mim) is monoclinic, C2/c, a = 9.565(3), b = 7.764(5), c = 8.983(8) Å, = 96.76(3)°, Z, = 4, Complex 2, (CuCN)(dmim) is monoclinic, P21/c, a = 8.120(2), b = 11.796(4), c = 16.375(9) Å, , = 100.87(4)°, Z = 8. Complex 3, (CuCN) (clmim) is monoclinic, C2/c, a = 24.907(4), b = 6.894(5), c = 18.259(4) Å, = 102.79(2)°, Z = 16. Complex 4, (CuCN)(phim) is orthorhombic, Pca21, a = 9.204(4), b = 8.125(2), c = 26.304(6) Å, Z, = 8. Complexes 1, 2, and 4 have one-dimensional chains –Cu–CN–Cu– with an imidazole bonded to each Cu. Complex 3 has a two-dimensional sheet of CuCN, again with an imidazole bonded to each Cu. In 1 the imidazole group is disordered by a two-fold rotation approximately around the N···N direction in the imidazole group. In 3 one of the imidazole groups has a disorder involving exchange of the Cl and CH3. 相似文献
Polymerizable vinylimidazolium ionic liquids (ILs) that contain mesogenic coumarin and biphenyl units, respectively, have been synthesized. The N‐alkylation of N‐vinylimidazole with bromoalkylated mesogenic units 7‐(6‐bromohexyloxy)coumarin ( 1 ) and 4,4′‐bis(6‐bromohexyloxy)biphenyl ( 2 ) was then carried out. The thermal behavior of the obtained ILs 3 and 4 was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and polarizing optical microscopy. These measurements showed that the attached mesogenic units induce the self‐assembly of ILs and, therefore, the occurrence of liquid crystalline phases. Subsequently, the ionic liquid crystals (ILCs) 3 and 4 were polymerized by a free‐radical mechanism.
The phenomenon known as non-enzymatic glycation is described as the reaction of reducing sugars with basic amino groups of proteins and nucleic acids, as well as with simple amines, without enzyme mediation. Non-enzymatic model glycation reactions that make use of low-molecular-weight compounds make an important contribution in the elucidation of glicated processes in vitro and in vivo. Four alpha-dicarbonyl compounds, aldehydic (glyoxal, methylglyoxal and phenylglyoxal) and ketonic (diacetyl), were reacted with the modified amino acid N(alpha)-acetyl-L-lysine (AcLys) in an attempt to establish structure/activity relationships for the reactivity of alpha-dicarbonyls with the amine compound. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) combined with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and collision-induced dissociation (CID) was used to identify and characterize reagents, intermediates and reaction products. The formation of dicarbonyl-derived lysine dimers was observed exclusively. Especially, attention is drawn to alkyl- (asymmetrical dicarbonyl systems) and carboxyl- (glyoxal system) substituted imidazolium ions, at ring position 2.The main differences observed in the reactions studied were related to the reactivity with the diimine intermediate. This intermediate can react either with a non-hydrated dicarbonyl molecule at the aldehydic carbonyl, or with a mono-hydrated one at the ketonic carbonyl, particularly for asymmetrical dicarbonyls. For 2-carboxyl-substituted imidazolium ion (glyoxal reaction), besides the usual keto-enol rearrangement from the diol group, an alternative reaction pathway (proton abstraction) appears to contribute also for the imidazolium ring-closure process. Moreover, the formation of imidazolium ring structures can depend on several factors, namely, the presence (or absence) of electron donor substituents at the formed diol, the degree of stability of the new electrophile generated and/or the equilibrium concentration of the non- and mono-hydrated dicarbonyl forms in solution, the last being particularly important for asymmetrical dicarbonyls.The results reported reveal the complexity of reactivity as well as the diversity of imidazolium molecular structures. 相似文献
