Fabrication of highly ordered TiO2 nanotube arrays using an organic electrolyte

Anodization of titanium in a fluorinated dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and ethanol mixture electrolyte is investigated. The prepared anodic film has a highly ordered nanotube-array surface architecture. Using a 20 V anodization potential (vs Pt) nanotube arrays having an inner diameter of 60 nm and 40 nm wall thickness are formed. The overall length of the nanotube arrays is controlled by the duration of the anodization, with nanotubes appearing only after approximately 48 h; a 72 h anodization results in a nanotube array approximately 2.3 mum in length. The photoelectrochemical response of the nanotube-array photoelectrodes is studied using a 1 M KOH solution under both UV and visible (AM 1.5) illumination. Enhanced photocurrent density is observed for samples obtained in the organic electrolyte, with an UV photoconversion efficiency of 10.7%.

The Role of Methoxy Group in the Nazarov Cyclization of 1,5-bis-(2-Methoxyphenyl)-1,4-Pentadien-3-one in the Gas Phase and Condensed Phase

ESI-protonated 1,5-bis-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1,4-pentadien-3-one (1) undergoes a gas-phase Nazarov cyclization and dissociates via expulsions of ketene and anisole. The dissociations of the [M + D]⁺ ions are accompanied by limited HD scrambling that supports the proposed cyclization. Solution cyclization of 1 was effected to yield the cyclic ketone, 2,3-bis-(2-methoxyphenyl)-cyclopent-2-ene-1-one, (2) on a time scale that is significantly shorter than the time for cyclization of dibenzalacetone. The dissociation characteristics of the ESI-generated [M + H]⁺ ion of the synthetic cyclic ketone closely resemble those of 1, suggesting that gas-phase and solution cyclization products are the same. Additional mechanistic studies by density functional theory (DFT) methods of the gas-phase reaction reveals that the initial cyclization is followed by two sequential 1,2-aryl migrations that account for the observed structure of the cyclic product in the gas phase and solution. Furthermore, the DFT calculations show that the methoxy group serves as a catalyst for the proton migrations necessary for both cyclization and fragmentation after aryl migration. An isomer formed by moving the 2-methoxy to the 4-position requires relatively higher collision energy for the elimination of anisole, as is consistent with DFT calculations. Replacement of the 2-methoxy group with an OH shows that the cyclization followed by aryl migration and elimination of phenol occurs from the [M + H]⁺ ion at low energy similar to that for 1.

Inhomogeneous magnetism in single crystalline Sr(3)CuIrO(6+delta): implications to phase-separation concepts

The single crystalline form of an insulator, Sr(3)CuIrO(6+delta), is shown to exhibit unexpectedly more than one magnetic transition (at 5 and 19 K) with spin-glass-like magnetic susceptibility behavior. On the basis of this finding, viz., inhomogeneous magnetism in a chemically homogeneous material, we propose that the idea of "phase separation" described for manganites is more widespread in different ways. The observed experimental features enable us to make a comparison with the predictions of a recent toy model on magnetic phase separation in an insulating environment.

Energy transfer studies of Ce:Eu system in phosphate glasses

The preparation of sodium phosphate glasses singly and doubly doped with rare earth ions Ce³⁺ and Eu³⁺ by melt quench method is described. The spectroscopic characterizations of the samples are done using absorption, excitation and emission spectra. The nonradiative energy transfer between trivalent cerium and europium is achieved through the phosphate lattice and the results are incorporated. The main reason of quenching of Ce³⁺ ions and the mechanism of energy transfer is mainly electric dipole-dipole in nature for Ce³⁺:Eu³⁺ system.
