Liquid–liquid extraction of copper(II) with substituted salicylideneanilines from sulfate media

The liquid–liquid extraction of copper(II) with Schiff bases in chloroform from sulfate media is studied for pH and concentration of the extractant. Stoichiometry coefficients of the extracted species are determined by the slope analysis method. With salicylideneaniline, the copper(II) is extracted as a mixed chelate complex, CuL₂HL. In the presence of substituent, the copper is extracted as simple chelates, CuL₂. The trends in the values of extraction constants were explained in terms of the nature of the substituents.     

Mesogenic Schiff base esters with benzothiazole core: synthesis and phase transition studies

A series of new rod-shaped mesomorphic compounds, 6-ethoxy-2-(4-alkanoyloxybenzylidenamino)benzothiazoles, consisting of a 2,6-disubstituted benzothiazole core and a Schiff base central linkage, were synthesized and their structures were ascertained via elemental analysis and spectroscopic techniques. Their mesomorphic properties were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarized optical microscopy (POM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. All compounds showed enantiotropic mesomorphism. Whilst the lower members of the series, hexanoyloxy and octanoyloxy derivatives exhibited nematic phase, the higher members (decanoyloxy, dodecanoyloxy, tetradecanoyloxy, hexadecanoyloxy and octadecanoyloxy derivatives) exhibited nematic and smectic C phases.     

Substitution and Solvent Effect of Some Substituted Hydroxy Schiff Bases

Abstract

The uv-vis spectra of eight ortho-hydroxy- andpara-hydroxy schiff bases were recorded in different solvents. Inductive and resonance effect of the substituents affect the electronic spectra of those molecules, while, intra-molecular hydrogen bond formation or breakage have little effect on the uv-visible spectra.     

Geometry of skew information-based quantum coherence

We study the skew information-based coherence of quantum states and derive explicit formulas for Werner states and isotropic states in a set of autotensors of mutually unbiased bases (MUBs). We also give surfaces of skew information-based coherence for Bell-diagonal states and a special class of X states in both computational basis and in MUBs. Moreover, we depict the surfaces of the skew information-based coherence for Bell-diagonal states under various types of local nondissipative quantum channels. The results show similar as well as different features compared with relative entropy of coherence and l₁ norm of coherence.     

A functional equation arising from multiplication of quantum integers

For the quantum integer [n]_q=1+q+q²+?+qⁿ⁻¹ there is a natural polynomial multiplication such that [m]_q⊗_q[n]_q=[mn]_q. This multiplication leads to the functional equation f_m(q)f_n(q^m)=f_mn(q), defined on a given sequence of polynomials. This paper contains various results concerning the construction and classification of polynomial sequences that satisfy the functional equation, as well open problems that arise from the functional equation.     

Theoretical analysis of the experimental UV-Vis absorption spectra of some phenolic Schiff bases

The time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) was applied in conjunction with the natural bond orbital analysis to examine the UV-Vis properties of 10 phenolic Schiff bases. The calculations were performed with different functionals, but main discussion refers to results obtained at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory. The approach based on the natural localised molecular orbital clusters indicates similar behaviour for majority of examined compounds. The HOMO (“highest occupied molecular orbital”) cluster is delocalised over the ring which is electron richer, the HOMO-1 cluster is spread over the other ring, whereas the LUMO (“lowest unoccupied molecular orbital”) cluster is situated on the imino group. The two bands at long wavelengths correspond to the HOMO → LUMO and HOMO-1 → LUMO transitions, i.e. from both A and B rings to the imino group. The next band originates from a transition from the imino group to the imino group. The band at the smallest wavelengths originates from a transition from the A ring to the A ring, or from the B ring to the B ring. Our findings are in very good agreement with the existing literature data.     

Synthesis and two-photon optical characterization of D-π-D type Schiff bases

The title compounds, several Schiff bases with D-π-D type have been successfully synthesized from reaction of 4-(N-dialkylamino) benzaldehyde and hydrazine or p-phenylenediamine in ethanol. These compounds were characterized by IR, ¹H NMR, elemental analysis and electronspray mass spectrometry. One-photon fluorescence and two-photon fluorescence properties have been investigated. The two-photon absorption (TPA) cross section (σ) of these compounds was obtained by using the open-aperture Z-scan technique. Based on theoretical calculations and factual test, the influence that a series of substituted groups and the conjugated frame imposed on TPA cross section were systematically discussed.     

不对称双席夫碱过渡金属配合物的电子光谱和非线性光学性质的 理论研究

本文采用密度泛函理论中的M05方法对比研究了一类双席夫碱及其衍生物与金属Co、Ni和Cu配位后配合物的结构,非线性光学性质以及激发态性质. 结果表明,Co配合物的三重态,Ni配合物的二重态以及Cu配合物的单重态为最佳稳定结构. 通过最佳稳定结构计算得到的配合物非线性光学性质表明,三种金属配合物中Cu配合物表现出较高的一阶和二阶超极化率. 通过对其激发态性质分析表明在配体苯环上引入甲氧基使电子跃迁种类减少,导致超极化率下降,非线性光学性质减弱.

基于小波包变换和数学形态学结合的光谱去噪方法研究

对反射光谱数据进行去噪是提高光谱信息准确度的前提。传统时域平滑和频域去噪方法存在诸多缺点,本文首次将广义形态滤波方法用于可见近红外光谱的去噪处理,并提出基于小波包变换和数学形态学结合的光谱去噪方法。使用USGS光谱库中的植被光谱进行实验,采用信噪比(SNR)、均方误差根(RMSE)、波形相似度(NCC)和平滑度(SR)四个指标来评估去噪效果。结果表明,小波包最佳基阈值法和广义形态滤波法都能较好地保持波形和平滑度,广义形态滤波法能较好地消除幅值较大的随机噪声,但其对连续随机噪声中幅值较小的噪声成分不能有效消除; 而小波包最佳基阈值法不能有效消除幅值较大的噪声成分; 二者结合的方法组合了这两者的优点,使得幅值较大、较小的噪声成分都能较好地消除,同时还提高了相似度和平滑度指标,充分表明小波包最佳基阈值与广义形态滤波结合的方法是一种更好的可见光近红外光谱去噪方法。
