Effect of long-period stacking ordered phase on thermal stability of refined grains in Mg-RE-based alloys

The refined grains in both as-cast Mg-10Y-1Zn-2Zr (WZ101?K, wt.%) and Mg-10Y-1Al (WA101, wt.%) alloys have been found to have superior thermal stability after solution treatment. Plate-shaped, but different polytypes of long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) phases distributed along grain boundaries are considered as the predominant inhibitors of grain growth. Based on the plate-shaped features of the LPSO phases, a modified Zener’s model is established and the predicted limiting grain sizes are in a good agreement with the experimental results. Therefore, this model has strong potential for designing advanced Mg-RE-based alloys with high strength and high creep resistance at high temperatures.     

Synthesis,thermal, and photocrosslinking studies of thermotropic liquid crystalline poly(benzylidene‐ether)esters containing α,β‐unsaturated ketone moiety in the main chain

A series of poly(benzylidene‐ether)esters containing a photoreactive benzylidene chromophore in the main chain were synthesized from 2,6‐bis(4‐hydroxy‐3‐methoxybenzylidene)cyclohexanone (BHMBCH) with various aliphatic and aromatic diacid chlorides by an interfacial polycondensation technique. The intrinsic viscosity of the synthesized homo and copolymers determined by Ubbelohde viscometer was found to be 0.12 to 0.17 dL/g. The molecular structure of the monomer and polymers was confirmed by FT‐IR, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR spectral analyses. These polymers were studied for their thermal stability and photochemical properties. Thermal properties were evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was found that the polymers were stable up to 280 °C and start degrading thereafter. Increase in acid methylene spacer length decreased the thermal stability. The self‐extinguishing property of the synthesized polymers was studied by calculating the limiting oxygen index (LOI) value using a Van Krevelen's equation. The influence of the length of methylene spacer on phase transition was investigated using DSC and odd‐even effect has been observed. Hot‐stage optical polarizing microscopic (HOPM) study showed that most of the polymers exhibited birefringence and opalescence properties. The photolysis of liquid crystalline poly(benzylidene‐ether)esters revealed that α,β‐unsaturated ketone moiety in the main chain dimerises through 2π + 2π cycloaddition reaction to form a cyclobutane derivative and leads to crosslinking. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Determination of Iron in Calf Serum Using Bathophenanthroline and Thermal Lens Spectrometry

ABSTRACT

Thermal lens spectrometry has been used for the determination of iron in calf serum. The method is based on dissociation of Fe³⁺ from proteins, reduction of Fe³⁺ to Fe²⁺ and formation of a coloured complex between Fe²⁺ and bathophenanthroline. Contrary to the spectrophotometric method, it is shown that thermal lens spectrometry is less sensitive to scattering caused by the presence of small particles remaining in the test solution after the deproteinization step. The background signal is very small and the response is only slightly dependent on the amount of scattering particles. The method is reliable, sensitive and reproducible. The limit of detection for iron is 4 ppb and the relative standard deviation is around 2%. It is expected that the volume of serum sample necessary for an analysis can be reduced to less than 100 μl.     

Comment on “Density functional theory study of 1,2‐dioxetanone decomposition in condensed phase”

In the preceding paper results are presented, which are in serious conflict with state‐of‐the‐art ab initio method. Based on these new results the authors propose a new explanation of the reason for the preferential production of a phosphorescent state. Here we show that these controversial results are flawed, since the model use exclude biradical electron structures. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Anion-controlled geometrically different Cu(II) ion-based coordination polymers and green synthetic route for copper nanoparticles: a combined experimental and computational insight

Abstract

The Cu(II) ion-based polymeric complexes [Cu(2,2′-bpy).(N₃)₂]_n (I), [Cu₂(2,2′-bpy)₂.(N₃)₄]_n (II), and monomeric complex [Cu(2,2′-bpy).(NO₃)₂].5H₂O (III) have been synthesized with rigid (–N₃) and aromatic (2,2′-bpy = 2,2′-bipyridyl) ligand. The rigid azide group is responsible for the formation of 1-D extended structures in complexes I and II where as in the case of complex III, a monomeric complex is formed due to lack of a bridging group like –N₃, resulting in limitation in dimensionality. The thermal stability of the 1-D complexes is comparatively higher than monomeric complex III. Hirshfeld surface analysis has also been applied to investigate other weak interactions and compared with the results from single-crystal X-ray data. Due to the presence of paramagnetic metal centers and long metal···metal distances in complexes I and II and presence of lattice water molecules in complex III, decrease in luminescence intensities have been observed. To attain further insights into the aforementioned interesting species, some chemical concepts such as highest occupied molecular orbital–lowest unoccupied molecular orbital gap, electronic chemical potential, chemical hardness, and electrophilicity index, identified as a derivative of electronic energy, have also been emphasized employing the quantum chemical calculations in the framework of the density functional theory method using the M06-2X/ 6-31G** level of study. Further, these complexes have been used to synthesize copper nanoparticles by applying a green synthetic route.     

Light level control in birefringent fibres through thermal stress effects caused by the absorption of broadside incident light: a single-ended fibre-optic system

In this paper, light level control is demonstrated using optically induced thermal stress effects in a polarization-maintaining optical fibre. The controlling light beam is absorbed by a blackened segment of the fibre and produces local heating. Light control is demonstrated in the single-ended sensor configuration, which displays a response that cannot be explained from phase delays only, but requires the addition of the coupled mode theory.
