Long-Lived Luminescent Re(I) Complexes Containing cis-Carbonyl and Bidentate Phosphine Ligands

Highly emissive Re(I) complexes, hydrophobic cis-Re(CO)₂(c-dppene)(dpphen) and water-soluble cis-Re(CO)₂(c-dppene)(SO₃-dpphen) with a negative charge, were synthesized [where c-dppene is cis-(bis(diphenylphosphino)ethylene, dpphen is 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline, and SO₃-dpphen is its disulfonate derivative]. These Re(I) complexes have significantly higher molar absorption in the 350- to 490-nm region compared to their tricarbonyl Re(I) counterparts and their emission spectra are similar to those of Ru(II) polypyridyl complexes. The luminescence lifetimes of these Re(I) complexes approach 10 s in the absence of oxygen in both aqueous and less polar solvents. The complexes have limiting anisotropy values exceeding 0.3. As both ligands, the diimine and the bidentate phosphine, can be modified by adding different substituents, it should be possible to make cis-Re(CO)₂(diimine)(P-P) derivatives which are capable of labeling biomacromolecules for biochemical and biophysical studies.     

单壁碳纳米管吸附联苯类有机物的荧光光谱分析

利用芳香族化合物对单壁碳纳米管进行了化学修饰,并利用荧光光谱以及时间分辨光谱对修饰后的单壁碳纳米管进行了表征分析.实验发现吸附对三联苯后有1个荧光峰位置发生了蓝移,这说明吸附过程使对三联苯的一些能级分布发生了变化.测量吸附前后对三联苯和蒽甲醇的荧光寿命,发现吸附后的荧光衰减曲线下降趋势更加明显,对曲线进行多指数拟合得出的荧光寿命及其数目发生了变化,分析了可能导致该现象的原因.     

Two-period model for calculation of level populations in subbands of multi-period quantum-cascade superlattice structures

For two periods of quantum-cascade laser structures, we propose a system of closed balance equations that make it possible to calculate the occupancy of the energy levels, the quasi-Fermi levels, and also the injection current density taking into account different charge carrier scattering mechanisms. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 74, No. 6, pp. 801–804, November–December, 2007.

Preparation and characterization of biodegradable magnetic carriers by single emulsion-solvent evaporation

This paper describes a single emulsion-solvent evaporation protocol to prepare PEGylated biodegradable/biocompatible magnetic carriers by utilizing hydrophobic magnetite and a mixture of poly(D,L lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and poly(lactic acid-block-polyethylene glycol) (PLA-PEG) (26:1 by mass) polymers. We characterized the magnetic microspheres in terms of morphology, composite microstructure, size and size distribution, and magnetic properties. Results show that the preparation produces magnetic microspheres with a good spherical morphology, small size (mean diameter of 1.2–1.5 μm) by means of large size distributions, and magnetizations up to 20–30 emu/g of microspheres.     

Theoretical analysis of a simple yet efficient portable magnetic separator design for separation of magnetic nano/micro-carriers from human blood flow

A technology that could physically remove substances from the blood such as biological, chemical, or radiological toxins could dramatically improve treatment of disease. One method in development proposes to use magnetic-polymer spheres to selectively bind toxins and remove them by magnetic filtration. Although magnetic filtration is a developed technology, the clinical boundary conditions described here require a new filter design. We investigated the removal of toxin-bound magnetic carriers from the blood stream using 2-D FEMLAB simulations. The magnetic separator consisted of a permanent magnet with parallel ferromagnetic prisms on the faces and in contact with a straight tube carrying the magnetic-polymer spheres in suspension. We varied the following parameters: blood flow velocity, the size, and number of ferromagnetic prisms, and the ferromagnetic material in both prisms and magnets. The capture efficiency reached maximum values when the depth of the prisms equaled the diameter of the tubing and the saturation magnetization of the prism material equaled twice that of the magnet. With this design a piece of 2 mm (diameter) tube carrying the fluid resulted in 95% capture of 2.0 μm magnetic-polymer spheres at 10 cm/s flow velocity.

Studies on thermally induced structural changes in silicon based polymers by positron annihilation

Temperature dependence of positron annihilation lifetime spectra of polysilanes such as, poly(methyl-n-propylsilane) (PMPrS) and poly(di-n-hexylsilane) (PDHS) has been investigated. The τ₃ in PMPrS is seen to increase monotonically around the solid–liquid transition temperature. The transition temperature and free volume are observed to depend on the molecular weight and/or packing of the backbones. For PDHS, a sharp change in τ₃ and I₃ is seen at the solid–solid transition temperature. Free volume radius probability density functions, above and below the transition temperature, are presented in PMPrS and PDHS. Positron studies are complimented by conventional thermal analysis studies.
