Specific features of luminescence of Q-CdS colloids with different sizes

The specific features of luminescence of colloidal solutions of Q-CdS with particles of different size and the regularities of luminescence quenching by quenchers of various nature were studied. The luminescence spectra of Q-CdS consist of several bands, which are shifted to the long-ware region as the particle size increases. The dependence of the integral quantum yield of luminescence on the particle size has a sharp maximum at a particle diameter of ?23Å. A Stem—Volmer-type equation including the adsorption isotherm of the quencher molecules on the surface of the Q-CdS colloidal particles was used to describe the regularities of luminescence quenching of Q-CdS colloidal solutions. The CdS particle size was found to affect the efficiency of luminescence quenching. The regularities of luminescence quenching depend both on the rate constant of electron transfer to the quencher molecules and on the ability of the quencher molecules to be adsorbed on the surface of the CdS colloidal particle.

One-Step Synthesis of Monolithic Silica Nanocomposites in Fused Silica Capillaries

The ideal way to prepare efficient, yet robust stationary phases for microanalytical high-resolution methods such as capillary chromatography and electrochromatography remains to be defined. In this contribution a one step sol-gel process is proposed for the production of monolithic, macroporous nanocomposite phases in fused silica capillaries, which require no additional derivatization, since they already bear the interactive (C8) moieties. The effect of the catalyst, the water content, the pH, as well as that of certain additives on monolith formation and porosity is investigated. Volume shrinkage and a tendency to crack were the major obstacles to overcome. Homogeneous stationary phases could be produced by applying a pH gradient during sol formation, thereby changing the catalytic principle from acidic (0.1 M HCl) to basic (gradual formation of OH^– as a consequence of the hydrolysis of N-methylformamide). Gelation/coacervation of suchgels could be induced by the addition of N,N-diethylamine. The water content during sol formation was determined as decisive for pore formation, with 250% of the amount theoretically needed for complete hydrolysis of all precursors giving optimal results. The volume shrinkage problem during xerogel formation was resolved by integrating dialkyldialkoxysilane units (dimethyldiethoxysilane 35 mol%) into the silica network.     

Potentiometric Immunosensor Based on Immobilization of Hepatitis B Surface Antibody on Platinum Electrode Modified Silver Colloids and Polyvinyl Butyral as Matrixes

A highly sensitive immunosensor based on immobilization of hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb) on platinum electrode (Pt) modified silver colloids and polyvinyl butyral (PVB) as matrixes has been developed for potentiometric immunoanalysis to detect hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in this study. HBsAb molecules were immobilized successfully on nanometer‐sized silver colloid particles associated with polyvinyl butyral on a platinum electrode surface. The modification procedure was electrochemically monitored by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The HBsAb‐silver‐PVB‐modified electrode exhibited direct electrochemical behavior toward HBsAg. The factors influencing the performance of the resulting immunosensor were studied in detail. More than 94.7% of the results of human serum samples obtained by this method were in agreement with those obtained by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). The resulting immunosensor exhibited a sigmoid curve with log HBsAg concentration, high sensitivity (39.8 mV/decade), wide linear range from 16.0 to 800 ng mL^?1 with a detection limit of 3.6 ng mL^?1, fast potentiometric response (<3 min) and long‐term stability (>4 months). The response mechanism of the immunosensors was also studied with AC impedance techniques.     

Glass capillary columns for separation of free organic acids

Glass capillary columns have been prepared without acidic additive in the stationary phase, from which free organic acids elute as sharp and symmetrical peaks. The required surface in the borosilicate glass capillary was generated by a combination of leaching with aqueous HCl and deposition of colloidal silica particles; it can be coated with stationary phases have a broad range of polarity. Aqueous samples containing free organic acids can also be analyzed in such columns in an isothermal mode.

Preparation of Silver Nanoparticles through Alcohol Reduction with Organoalkoxysilanes

Silver nanoparticles of narrow size distribution were prepared through the chemical reduction in an alcohol solution with several organoalkoxysilanes. In this system, organoalkoxysilanes served as a stabilizer, protecting silver nanoparticles from aggregation. The changes in size and morphology of colloidal silver nanoparticles were investigated with the addition of organoalkoxysilanes such as 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS), methyltriethoxysilane (MTS), phenyltrimethoxysilane (PTS), vinyltriethoxysilane (VTS), and 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPS) as stabilizers. The organic functional groups of organoalkoxysilanes interact with silver ions and clusters, which stabilize silver nanoparticles in the system. The silver nanoparticles obtained were characterized with transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-vis spectroscopy, etc.     

NMR Study of the Stoichiometry, Stability, and Ligand Interchange of Silver Ion-Hexathia-18-crown-6 Complex in Binary Dimethyl Sulfoxide Solvent Mixtures at 300 K

Proton NMR was used to study the complexation reaction between silver ion and hexathia-18-crown-6 in a number of binary mixed solvents of dimethyl sulfoxide with acetonitrile and methanol. Formation constants for the resulting 1:1 complexes in different solvent mixtures were determined by computer fitting of the chemical shift-mole ratio data. The influence of solvent composition on the stability of the resulting complex is discussed. The exchange kinetics of Ag⁺-hexathia-18-crown-6 in 70-30 wt.% dimethyl sulfoxide-acetonitrile and 75-25 wt.% dimethyl sulfoxide-methanol were studied by proton NMR line-shape analysis. In both solvent mixtures, the exchange of thiacrown ether between the free and complexed sites was found to proceed via a dissociative pathway. The exchange rates and the activation parameters E _a, H , S, and G for the ligand exchange were determined and the influence of solvent properties on these parameters discussed.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Ag2（admtrz）2（CF3CO2）2（admtrz=4—amino—3,5—dimethyl—1,2,4—triazole）

1 INTRODUCTION Transition metal complexes bridged by 1, 2, 4-triazole group can produce interesting structures and specific properties[1]. Many attempts have been made to synthesize a variety of complexes with paramagnetic centers by using such ligands, and their structures and magnetic properties have been characterized[2]. However, the polynuclear Ag(I) complexes bridged by 1, 2, 4-triazole have been poorly studied[3]. Recently, we have prepared a series of silver(I) triazole complex…
