Total backward electron yields from 27 elemental, non-crystalline, clean solids were measured during bombardment by H+-, H-, H-, He+- and Ar+-ions in the energy range from 100 keV to 800 keV. The yields were found to exhibit an oscillatory dependence on the atomic number of the target material correlated with the periods of the periodic system. These Z2-oscillations are relatively insensitive to the type of projectile and the impact energy at the high projectile energies of this experiment. Present theories of electron emission cannot explain the main experimental results. The reasons for this failure are discussed. 相似文献
Photoinduced charge separation is a fundamental step in photochemical energy conversion. In the design of molecularly based systems for light-to-chemical energy conversion, this step is studied through the construction of two- and three-component systems (dyads and triads) having suitable electron donor and acceptor moieties placed at specific positions on a charge-transfer chromophore. The most extensively studied chromophores in this regard are ruthenium(II) tris(diimine) systems with a common 3MLCT excited state, as well as related ruthenium(II) bis(terpyridyl) systems. This Forum contribution focuses on dyads and triads of an alternative chromophore, namely, platinum(II) di- and triimine systems having acetylide ligands. These d8 chromophores all possess a 3MLCT excited state in which the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital is a pi orbital on the heterocyclic aromatic ligand. The excited-state energies of these Pt(II) chromophores are generally higher than those found for the ruthenium(II) tris(diimine) systems, and the directionality of the charge transfer is more certain. The first platinum diimine bis(arylacetylide) triad, constructed by attaching phenothiazene donors to the arylacetylide ligands and a nitrophenyl acceptor to 5-ethynylphenanthroline of the chromophore, exhibited a charge-separated state of 75-ns duration. The first Pt(tpy)(arylacetylide)+-based triad contains a trimethoxybenzamide donor and a pyridinium acceptor and has been structurally characterized. The triad has an edge-to-edge separation between donor and acceptor fragments of 27.95 Angstroms. However, while quenching of the emission is complete for this system, transient absorption (TA) studies reveal that charge transfer does not move onto the pyridinium acceptor. A new set of triads described in detail here and having the formula [Pt(NO2phtpy)(p-C triple-bond C-C6H4CH2(PTZ-R)](PF6), where NO2phtpy = 4'-{4-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)vinyl]phenyl}-2,2';6',2'-terpyridine and PTZ = phenothiazine with R = H, OMe, possess an unsaturated linkage between the chromophore and a nitrophenyl acceptor. While the parent chromophore [Pt(ttpy)(C triple-bond CC6H5)]PF6 is brightly luminescent in a fluid solution at 298 K, the triads exhibit complete quenching of the emission, as do the related donor-chromophore (D-C) dyads. Electrochemically, the triads and D-C dyads exhibit a quasi-reversible oxidation wave corresponding to the PTZ ligand, while the R = H triad and related C-A dyad display a facile quasi-reversible reduction assignable to the acceptor. TA spectroscopy shows that one of the triads possesses a long-lived charge-separated state of approximately 230 ns. 相似文献
The excited state of terpyridine derivatives of phenylene-vinylene fragments chelating Zn(II) show a strong solvatochromism (up to 56 nm) upon preferential solvation by polar solvents of an intraligand charge transfer state. 相似文献
Novel ‘nano in nano’ composites consisting of biodegradable polymer nanoparticles incorporated into polymer nanofibers may efficiently modulate drug delivery. This is shown here using a combination of model compound‐loaded biodegradable nanoparticles encapsulated in electrospun fibers. The dye coumarin 6 is used as model compound for a drug in order to simulate drug release from loaded poly(lactide‐co‐glycolide) nanoparticles. Dye release from the nanoparticles occurs immediately in aqueous solution. Dye‐loaded nanoparticles which are encapsulated by electrospun polymer nanofibers display a significantly retarded release.
Several highly luminescent, aryl-substituted mesobenzanthrones (7H-benz[de]anthracen-7-ones) were prepared by a simple, two-step synthesis: addition of a carboxylated benzyne to a cyclopentadienone followed by an intramolecular Friedel-Crafts acylation. These compounds exhibit brilliant, yellow-green luminescence with quantum yields ranging from 0.01 to 1, depending on the aryl substituents present, and their photophysical behavior was elucidated by experimental and computational methods. 相似文献
The one-electron reduction of [(mpt)Pt(CCPhCl)] ClO4 [mpt = 4'-(4-methylphenyl)-2,2',6',2' '-terpyridyl; CCPhCl = chlorophenyl acetylide] by a series of amine donors was investigated in a CH3CN solution. The excited state has a lifetime of 550 ns in the absence of quencher in degassed CH3CN. Quenching rate constants were >10(8) M(-1) s(-1) even for trialkylamines. Transient absorption spectroscopy provided convincing evidence for the production of the one-electron-reduced Pt complex, even with quenchers that could potentially serve as H-atom donors. The transient spectrum obtained in the presence of triethylamine exhibits, in addition to bleaching of the Pt(II) complex absorption, a maximum at approximately 360 nm and broad absorption from 500 to 800 nm, indicating that the reduced complex has a complex electronic structure and is not easily assigned as a terpyridyl anion radical. 相似文献
A new terpyridyl-containing Pt triad [Pt(pytpy)(p-CC-C6H4-NH-CO-C6H2(OMe)3)](PF6)2 (4), where pytpy = 4'-(4-pyridin-1-ylmethylphenyl)-[2,2';6',2' ']terpyridine and p-CC-C6H4-NH-CO-C6H2(OMe)3 = N-(4-ethynylphenyl)-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzamide, has been synthesized and structurally characterized. The related donor-chromophore dyad [Pt(ttpy)(p-CC-C6H4-NH-CO-C6H2(OMe)3)]PF6 2, where ttpy = 4'-p-tolyl-[2,2';6',2' ']terpyridine, and the chromophore-acceptor dyad [Pt(pytpy)(CCC6H5)](PF6)2 (3), where CCC6H5 = ethynylbenzene, have also been studied. The multistep syntheses culminate with a CuI-catalyzed coupling reaction of the respective acetylene with either [Pt(ttpy)Cl]PF6 or [Pt(pytpy)Cl](PF6)2. X-ray and spectroscopic studies support assignment of a distorted square planar environment around the Pt(II) ion with three of its coordination sites occupied by the terpyridyl N-donors and the fourth coordination site occupied by the acetylenic carbon. Although the parent compound [Pt(ttpy)(CCC6H5)]PF6 (1) is brightly luminescent in fluid solution at 298 K, dyad 2 as well as triad 4 exhibit complete quenching of the emission. The chromophore-acceptor (C-A) dyad 3 displays weak solution luminescence at room temperature with a phi(rel)(em) of 0.011 (using Ru(bpy)3(2+) as a standard with phi(rel)(em) = 0.062). Electrochemically, the donor-chromophore (D-C) dyad and the donor-chromophore-acceptor (D-C-A) triad exhibit both metal-based and donor ligand-based oxidations, whereas the triad and the C-A dyad show the expected pyridinium- and terpyridine-based reductions. Transient absorption studies of the dyad and triad systems indicate that although the trimethoxybenzene group acts as a reductive donor, in the present system, the pyridinium group fails to act as an acceptor. 相似文献
It is shown that the critical currents of high‐Tcsuperconducting tapes fabricated by the coated conductor technologies are enhanced considerably if grain arrangements with large effective grain boundary areas are used. Increasing the aspect ratios of the grains reduces the deleterious effects of the grain boundaries. A practical road to competitive high‐Tccables is proposed. 相似文献
A host-guest optical sensor for the determination of aliphatic amines as exemplified by octylamine is proposed. It is based on the reversible fluorescence enhancement of heptakis(2,6-di-O-isobutyl)-β-cyclodextrin(DOB-β-CD) hosting tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) immobilized in poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) membrane by aliphatic amine extracted from aqueous phase into membrane phase. The optimum membrane contained 1.15 wt % TPP, 6.15 wt % DOB-β-CD as sensing reagent and other membrane materials. The fluorescence enhancement of the membrane resulted from the formation of a stable three-component complex among DOB-β-CD, TPP, and aliphatic amines. With the optimum conditions described, the fluorescence response of the sensor to octylamine shows a good correlation with the theoretically derived equation in the range 1.0 × 10–6 to 8.0 × 10–4 mol/L. The response characteristics including reversibility, response time, reproducibility and lifetime and selectivity of this optical device are also discussed in detail. This sensor has also been applied for the determination of octylamine in water samples containing interferents with satisfactory recovery. 相似文献
