Determination of the Molecular Arrangement in Liquid Crystals by Polarization of Fluorescence

Polarized luminescence intensity reading and the polarized absorbance spectra of 4-diethyl-amino-4′-nitrostilbene “impurity” in the n-butyl-p/p-hexyloxyphenyloxycarbonyl/-phenyl-carbonate liquid crystal were measured. Degrees of orientational order, S₁ and S₂, of the nematic liquid were calculated from relative values of the absorbance and luminescence intensity components. A function, which describes the angular molecular distribution with respect to a preferred direction in the liquid crystal, is plotted.     

Nematics in Hybrid Cylindrical Cells

A hybrid (weak-strong anchoring) cylindrical cell with antagonistic boundary conditions (planar–homeotropic) at the outer confining surface and at a central coaxial cylindrical core and filled with nematic liquid crystals is investigated by means of the Elastic Theory and Monte Carlo Simulations. The director orientation profile on the surface characterized by weak anchoring is built as a function of the extrapolation length and other relevant parameters. By considering the angle on the surface as an order parameter, a transition in the orientation is found when the extrapolation length becomes smaller than a critical value and the orientation of the surface with strong anchoring is dominant. The order parameter critical exponent is numerically calculated, and the mean field value (β≈1/2) is found in all cases. These transitions are essentially confirmed by Monte Carlo simulations even if some numerical discrepancies are found. The analysis show similarities between planar and cylindrical geometries, but non-usual consequences are found more easily in the latter one.     

ESR and Theoretical Studies of Bis-Benzene-1, 2-Diselenolate Nickel and Related Complexes

Abstract

ESR and theoretical studies of the transition metal complexes of [Co and Ni (Se₂C₆H₄)₂]^? (n-C₄H₉)₄N⁺ are reported and compared with closely related systems. Room temperature single crystal X-ray studies reveal the Nickel complex is orthorhombic. ESR studies of the polycrystalline powders of the Ni complex as a function of temperature from 108 K to room temperature show a series of spectral envelopes which can arise only from a paramagnetic site which possesses axial symmetry. At ca 160 K, there is an abrupt change in the value of the principal components of the anisotropic g-tensor of the Ni complex which is discussed. Low temperature ESR studies of polycrystalline samples of the ground state triplet Cobalt complex which is isomorphous with the Nickel complex reveal an orthorhombic g-tensor. From the field position of the half-field resonance, it is possible to calculate a mean separation, of the two electrons which make up the triplet state, of 4.3 (±0.5) A.     

Quantitative analysis of tea using ytterbium‐based internal standard near‐infrared spectroscopy coupled with boosting least‐squares support vector regression

The present study demonstrated the possibility of utilizing the ytterbium (Yb)‐based internal standard near‐infrared (NIR) spectroscopic measurement technique coupled with multivariate calibration for quantitative analysis of tea, including total free amino acids and total polyphenols in tea. Yb is a rare earth element aimed to compensate for the spectral variation induced by the alteration of sample quantity during the spectral measurement of the powdered samples. Boosting was invoked to be combined with least‐squares support vector regression (LS‐SVR), forming boosting least‐squares support vector regression (BLS‐SVR) for the multivariate calibration task. The results showed that the tea quality could be accurately and rapidly determined via the Yb‐based internal standard NIR spectroscopy combined with BLS‐SVR method. Moreover, the introduction of boosting drastically enhanced the performance of individual LS‐SVR, and BLS‐SVR compared favorably with partial least‐squares regression.

Nanoparticle‐Loaded Cylindrical Micelles from Nanopore Extrusion of Block Copolymer Spherical Micelles

Hybrid cylindrical micelles loaded with nanoparticles are fabricated via extrusion of spherical micelles in solution phase through small long cylindrical pores. Small gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are pre‐coated with thiol‐terminated polystyrene and then further encapsulated in the core part of block copolymer spherical micelles by a precipitation method. By varying the starting mass ratio of AuNPs and the diblock copolymers polystyrene‐b‐polyisoprene (PS‐b‐PI) during the encapsulation, the AuNPs loading density along the cylindrical micelles can be controlled. The mechanism for this sphere‐to‐cylinder transition induced by extruding hybrid spherical micelles through small cylindrical nanopores is discussed. These findings provide a novel way to manufacture high‐quality and functional polymeric nano­wires, which may open the door to new applications such as in plasmonic waveguides.
