Evolution of lowest singlet and triplet excited states with transition metals in group 10-12 metallaynes containing biphenyl spacer

A new series of thermally stable group 10 platinum(II) and group 12 mercury(II) poly-yne polymers containing biphenyl spacer trans-[-Pt(PBu₃)₂CC(p-C₆H₄)₂CC-]_n and [HgCC(p-C₆H₄)₂CC-]_n were prepared in good yields by Hagihara’s dehydrohalogenation reaction of the corresponding metal chloride precursors with 4,4′-diethynylbiphenyl HCC(p-C₆H₄)₂CCH at room temperature. We report the optical spectroscopy of these polymetallaynes and compare the results with their bimetallic model complexes trans-[Pt(Ph)(PEt₃)₂CC(p-C₆H₄)₂CCPt(Ph)(PEt₃)₂] and [MeHgCC(p-C₆H₄)₂CCHgMe] as well as the group 11 gold(I) counterpart [(PPh₃)AuCC(p-C₆H₄)₂CCAu(PPh₃)]. The structural properties of all model complexes have been studied by X-ray crystallography. The influence of the heavy metal atom in these metal alkynyl systems on the intersystem crossing rate and the spatial extent of lowest singlet and triplet excitons is systematically characterized. Our investigations indicate that the organic triplet emissions can be harvested by the heavy-atom effect of group 10-12 transition metals (viz., Pt, Au, and Hg) which enables efficient intersystem crossing from the S₁ singlet excited state to the T₁ triplet excited state.     

Element-selective detection using capillary gas chromatography with atomic emission detection

Capillary GC coupled to an atomic emission detector (AED) provides a powerful new hyphenated technique for the separation and characterization of complex mixtures and compounds. The AED provides simultaneous and truly specific multi-element detection. The specificity of detection reduces the need for the complex sample pretreatment procedures which are necessary to reduce the interference from co-eluted substances which is experienced with detectors such as the FID and the ECD. A range of environmentally significant problems has been studied, including PCB analysis, the characterization of the reaction products of a novel waste treatment process, and the profiling of sulfur-containing species formed by the pyrolysis of various types of coal.

Photo-Induced Reactions between Glyoxal and Hydroxylamine in Cryogenic Matrices

In this paper, the photochemistry of glyoxal–hydroxylamine (Gly–HA) complexes is studied using FTIR matrix isolation spectroscopy and ab initio calculations. The irradiation of the Gly–HA complexes with the filtered output of a mercury lamp (λ > 370 nm) leads to their photoconversion to hydroxyketene–hydroxylamine complexes and the formation of hydroxy(hydroxyamino)acetaldehyde with a hemiaminal structure. The first product is the result of a double hydrogen exchange reaction between the aldehyde group of Gly and the amino or hydroxyl group of HA. The second product is formed as a result of the addition of the nitrogen atom of HA to the carbon atom of one aldehyde group of Gly, followed by the migration of the hydrogen atom from the amino group of hydroxylamine to the oxygen atom of the carbonyl group of glyoxal. The identification of the products is confirmed by deuterium substitution and by MP2 calculations of the structures and vibrational spectra of the identified species.     

Positron Emission Tomography Radiopharmaceuticals in Differentiated Thyroid Cancer

Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), arising from thyroid follicular epithelial cells, is the most common type of thyroid cancer. Despite the well-known utilization of radioiodine treatment in DTC, i.e., iodine-131, radioiodine imaging in DTC is typically performed with iodine-123 and iodine-131, with the current hybrid scanner performing single photon emission tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT). Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) provides superior visualization and quantification of functions at the molecular level; thus, lesion assessment can be improved compared to that of SPECT/CT. Various types of cancer, including radioiodine-refractory DTC, can be detected by 2-[¹⁸F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ([¹⁸F]FDG), the most well-known and widely used PET radiopharmaceutical. Several other PET radiopharmaceuticals have been developed, although some are limited in availability despite their potential clinical utilizations. This article aims to summarize PET radiopharmaceuticals in DTC, focusing on molecular pathways and applications.

PET Imaging of the Neuropeptide Y System: A Systematic Review

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a vastly studied biological peptide with numerous physiological functions that activate the NPY receptor family (Y₁, Y₂, Y₄ and Y₅). Moreover, these receptors are correlated with the pathophysiology of several diseases such as feeding disorders, anxiety, metabolic diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, some types of cancers and others. In order to deepen the knowledge of NPY receptors’ functions and molecular mechanisms, neuroimaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) have been used. The development of new radiotracers for the different NPY receptors and their subsequent PET studies have led to significant insights into molecular mechanisms involving NPY receptors. This article provides a systematic review of the imaging biomarkers that have been developed as PET tracers in order to study the NPY receptor family.     

Application of Two Novel Acoustic Emission Parameters on Identifying the Instability of Granite

The issue of monitoring and early warning of rock instability has received increasing critical attention in the study of rock engineering. To investigate the damage evolution process of granite under triaxial compression tests, acoustic emission (AE) tests were performed simultaneously. This study firstly introduced two novel parameters, i.e., the coefficient of variation (CoV) of the information entropy and correlation dimension of the amplitude data from the AE tests, to identify the precursor of the failure of granite. Then the relationship between the changes in these parameters and the stress-time curve was compared and analyzed. The results of this study show that: (1) There is a strong correlation between the CoV of the information entropy and the failure process of granite. The granite failed when the CoV curve raised to a plateau, which could be used as an indicator of rock instability. (2) The fluctuation of the correlation dimension indicates the different stages during the loading process, i.e., the initial compaction stage, the linear elastic stage, the yield stage, and the failure stage. Each stage contains a descending and a rising process in the correlation dimension curve, and the exhibited starting point or the bottom point at the correlation dimension curve could be selected as the indicator point for the rock instability. (3) The combined analysis of the Information entropy and Correlation dimension can improve the accuracy of rock instability prediction. This study provides new insights into the prediction of rock instability, which has theoretical implications for the stability of subsurface engineering rock masses.
