Near-crater discoloration of white lead in wall paintings during laser induced breakdown spectroscopy analysis

During Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) analysis of white lead pigment (basic lead carbonate, 2PbCO₃·Pb(OH)₂), used in wall paintings of historical interest, a yellow–brown discoloration has been observed around the crater. This phenomenon faded after a few days exposure under ambient atmosphere. It was established that the mechanism of this discoloration consists in lead oxides (PbO) formation. It was verified by further experiments under argon atmosphere that recombination of lead with oxygen in the plasma plume produces the oxides, which settle around the crater and induce this discoloration. The impact of discoloration on the artwork's aesthetic aspect and the role of atmosphere on discoloration attenuation are discussed. The mechanism is studied on three other pigments (malachite, Prussian blue and ultramarine blue) and threshold for discoloration occurrence is estimated.     

Oxidation of 1-methylcyclobutanol by Pb(IV) and Mn(III) compounds

The main product of the reaction of 1-methylcyclobutanol with Pb(OAc)₄ in benzene is 1-phenyl-4-pentanone; the use of Mn(OAc)₃ in acetic acid gives a mixture of 2,9-decanedione and methyl propyl ketone; 1-(chloro-, bromo-, thiocyano-, or cyano)-4-pentanone is formed in the presence of the systems Pb(OAc)₄-metal halide or Mn(OAc)₃-metal halide.N.

四磺酸基酞菁锌在水和非水溶剂中的电化学性质研究

在非水溶剂（二甲基亚砜（ＤＭＳＯ）及Ｎ,Ｎ＿二甲基甲酰胺（ＤＭＦ））中的伏安曲线．呈现三对电流峰,表明存在三个可逆或准可逆酞菁配体的单电子转移过程,而在水溶液中则不呈现准可逆行为,且波形改变很大．此外,还比较了四磺酸基酞菁锌的水溶液在自然光和红光（６００～７００ｎｍ）照射下的循环伏安曲线,其氧化还原峰的数目和峰电位基本不变,但在红光照射下比自然光照射下的峰电流明显增大．

Sulfide ion electrooxidation catalysed by cobalt phthalocyanine microcrystals

Electrooxidation of sulfide ion catalysed by microcrystals of cobalt phthalocyanine was investigated by cyclic voltammetry in 0.5M KNO₃ at pH 9.22. Traces of catalyst were immobilized at the surface of a paraffin-impregnated graphite electrode by the mechanical transfer of its powder. The electro-oxidation of HS^– proceeds in two irreversible steps, with the first peak between 0 V and –0.12 V and the second at 0.17 V. The first step is second order in HS^– and its product is the adsorbed disulfide, which may further dissociate to give adsorbed sulfur atoms. The reduction of sulfur occurs at –0.1 V.     

酞菁键合硅胶的制备及分离取代酞菁异构体

制备和表征了一种新的酞菁键合硅胶，三-β-(辛巯基)-β-(磺酰胺基)-酞菁铜键合硅胶。研究了该键合酞菁硅胶作为HPLC固定相的基本色谱性能。实验结果表明，该固定相可以分离四-α-(2，2，4-三甲基-3-戊氧基)酞菁(铜、镍)的4种异构体，也可以观察到四-α-(2，2，4-三甲基-3-戊氧基)无金属酞菁的4种异构体，而商业C₁₈(VERTEX Eurospher)却只能观察到两组峰，表明这种酞菁键合硅胶固定相在分析、分离一些取代酞菁异构体方面比商业C₁₈具有更好的分离效果。     

Heterometallic lead-titanium oxyalkoxide precursors to lead titanate thin films

Two lead titanium oxyalkoxides with composition Pb₂Ti₄O₂(O₂CCH₃)₂(OC₂H₅)₁₄ and Pb₂Ti₂O₂(O₂CCH₃)₂(OCH(CH₃)₂)₈ have been isolated and characterised by elemental analysis, IR, ²⁰⁷Pb NMR and molecular weight measurements. X-ray structural analysis of the 1:2 complex confirmed the presence of two Pb₂Ti₂O units which are linked by a common Pb···Pb edge and are held together by alkoxide and acetate bridges. The acetate groups have migrated from the Pb to the Ti centres during the reaction. Hydrolysis of the 1:1 Pb/Ti complex produced clear gels providing the H₂O/complex ratio was less than 4. Heat treatment of the gel results in loss of residual organics below 400°C. The XRD pattern indicates the presence of the pyrochlore and perovskite phases after heating at 500°C but the sample is poorly crystalline. Complete conversion to the perovskite phase of lead titanate occurs on heating to 600°C for 1 hour. Thin films of lead titanate were deposited by dip-coating a solution of this complex in isopropanol. Analyses of the films, carried out using electron microprobe, Scanning Auger Spectroscopy and Rutherford Backscattering, indicated that they were of excellent quality, crystalline after heating at 600°C and with relatively sharp substrate-coating interface.

半化学法制备Pb(Fe2/3W1/3)O3陶瓷粉体的反应机理

铅系弛豫铁电陶瓷钨铁酸铅Pb(Fe2/3W1/3)O3(PFW)是一种重要的介电材料,具有较大的介电常数(8000)和较低的烧结温度(小于900℃),适用于制备低烧高介的多层陶瓷电容器犤1～4犦。在传统氧化物法合成PFW的过程中,易生成恶化介电性能的钨酸铅(PbWO4或Pb2WO5)或焦绿石相(Pb2FeWO6)等其他相犤3,4犦。尽管通过加入过量5%的Fe2O3可以消除这些其他相,但因含较多的变价铁离子(Fe3+和Fe2+)而产生介电老化的缺点犤5犦。虽然二次合成法被广泛用于制备铅系弛豫铁电陶瓷犤6犦,但对制备PFW陶瓷的效果并不明显,仍有少量的钨酸铅PbWO4存在,并且预烧…     

New polythiophenes bearing electron-acceptor phthalocyanine chromophores

Two new donor-acceptor copolymers comprising a polythiophene backbone, and bearing phthalocyanine chromophores on the side chains have been prepared. Preliminary photophysical characterization of these materials by FTIR photoinduced absorption indicates that electron transfer from the polythiophene to the phthalocyanine units takes place.
