Copper corrosion in buffered and non-buffered synthetic seawater: a comparative study

The electrochemical behaviour of copper in neutral buffered and non-buffered synthetic seawater and in pure chloride solutions has been studied by cyclic voltammetry, weight loss measurements, open circuit potential and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Values of the repassivation potentials of Cu in non-buffered and buffered synthetic seawater, at 50 mV s^–1, were 0.12 and 0.46 V vs. SCE, respectively. The sharpness, heights and location of the different peaks as well as their charges were shown to be influenced by the composition of the solution, buffering conditions, deoxygenation, polarization potential and time. High chloride concentrations lead to higher oxidation charges. The anodic and the cathodic charges were shown to increase as the chloride concentration increases. The open circuit potential transients of copper in non-deoxygenated, non-buffered synthetic seawater indicate pitting from the beginning of the exposure, while in buffered solutions the pitting appeared only after a quite long exposure period, i.e. after 40 days. Corrosion rates of Cu samples after 3 months of immersion were higher in solutions of pure chloride (0.5 M) than in synthetic seawater. After six months the differences were even more noticeable. SEM images have showed a somewhat higher density of pits on copper samples immersed in the chloride solution (0.5 M), in comparison with those in synthetic seawater.     

Progress on phthalocyanine-conjugated Ag and Au nanoparticles: Synthesis,characterization, and photo-physicochemical properties

Phthalocyanine (Pc) complexes are an important class of dyes with numerous (e.g., biological, photophysical, and analytical) applications. Among the methods used to improve the properties of these complexes, one should mention the introduction of different substituents, variation of the central metal ion, ligand exchange, and conjugation to nanomaterials (e.g., carbon-based nanomaterials and metal nanoparticles (NPs)). This work briefly reviews Pc complex conjugation to Ag and Au NPs, highlights the different NP shapes, and discusses the diversity of conjugation approaches. Moreover, the use of UV–Vis spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, dynamic light scattering and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to characterize Pc-NP hybrids is summarized. The effect of conjugation on Pc photo-physicochemical properties (fluorescence, singlet oxygen generation, triplet state formation, and optical limiting behavior) is discussed, and future perspectives for the synthesis and applications of new hybrids are provided.

Synthesis,Characterization and Magnetic Properties of New Dinuclear Copper(II) Complexes with N,N′‐Disubstituted Dithiooxamides derived from α‐Amino Acids

Four new dinuclear copper(II) complexes have been synthesized and have the general formula [Cu₂(L)(H₂O)₂], where L = GLYDTO [N,N′‐bis(carboxymethyl)dithiooxamide], ALADTO [N,N′‐bis(carboxyethyl)dithiooxamide], VALDTO [N,N′‐bis(1‐carboxy‐2‐methylpropyl)dithiooxamide] and LEUDTO [N,N′‐bis(1‐carboxy‐3‐methylbutyl)dithiooxamide]. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis as well as by IR, electronic and EPR spectroscopy. These techniques provided evidence for the presence of the CuNO₂S chromophore. Magnetic susceptibility measurements on all the complexes in the range 4–300 K show the existence of a dominant antiferromagnetic interaction with ?J values greater than 300 cm^?1. Thermal decomposition behaviour of the complexes was studied by thermogravimetry.     

(CuBr)3P4Se4: A Low Symmetric Variant of the (CuI)3P4Se4 Structure Type

Bright orange (CuBr)₃P₄Se₄ is obtained from the reaction of CuBr, P, and Se in stoichiometric amounts (CuBr : P : Se = 3 : 4 : 4). The composition and the crystal structure of the compound were determined from single crystal X‐ray diffraction data. Lattice constants are a = 33.627(2) Å, b = 6.402(1) Å, c = 19.059(1) Å, β = 90.19(3) °, V = 4103.2(3) ų, and Z = 12. The compound crystallizes in a structure that is related to (CuI)₃P₄Se₄. Cages of β‐P₄Se₄ are stacked along the b‐axis and are separated by columns of copper(I) bromide. However, the coordination of the β‐P₄Se₄ cage molecules to the copper atoms in the CuBr columns in (CuBr)₃P₄Se₄ is quite different from (CuI)₃P₄Se₄. The monoclinic compound (space group: P2₁, no. 4) has an almost orthorhombic metric in combination with a threefold superstructure in [100]. Structural aspects of (CuBr)₃P₄Se₄ are discussed with respect to the heavier homologue (CuI)₃P₄Se₄.

Tetragonal low-temperature structure of LiAl

The cubic face-centered structure of LiAl (, at ) transforms into a tetragonal body-centered structure (I4₁/amd, , at ). This first-order phase transition at about during heating is probably the reason for the so-called “ anomalies” in some physical properties like specific heat, electrical resistivity and nuclear-spin lattice relaxation. This transition seems to be correlated with the composition Li:Al of the alloy and the amount of Li vacancies.     

二价铜、镍EDTA络合物晶体的电子吸收光谱

络合物晶体的电子吸收光谱作为研究晶体的电子结构的基础内容,很早以前就得到人们注意,虽然对Cu~(2+)、Ni~(2+)等络合物电子光谱的能级的经验指认已是一项较为成熟的工作,但对吸收光谱的系统的理论计算和定量解释在以前的文献中尚不多见.近年来,我们对多种晶体的电子吸收光谱进行了定量的解释,结果表明理论计算值总是能很好地符合于实验测定值。一般说来,吸收峰位的波数误差在8%以内. 早在本世纪四十年代就奠定了乙二胺四乙酸(EDTA)在分析化学中的应用基础。
