AgI-Ag2O-V2O5 glasses as ion-to-electron transducers for the construction of all-solid-state microelectrodes

A method for the fabrication of ion-selective all-solid-state microelectrodes is presented. The ion-to-electron transduction process takes place into the transducer material. In this approach, AgI-Ag₂O-V₂O₅ glasses, which exhibit ionic and electrical conductivity are applied as ion-to-electron transducers of polymeric membrane microelectrodes. All-solid-state electrodes based on potassium-sensitive poly(vinyl chloride) membranes, deposited directly on the surface of glass composites, exhibited theoretical responses. Their selectivity and durability were comparable to planar microelectrodes containing an internal electrolyte immobilized in the intermediate hydrogel layer. The only disadvantage of the proposed structures was their limited reproducibility. Moreover, it was found that the unmodified AgI-Ag₂O-V₂O₅ glasses can be applied as ion-sensitive membrane of solid-state microelectrodes for the determination of Ag⁺ and I⁻ ions.     

1H-Pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinolines: Synthesis and Properties over 100 Years of Research

This paper summarises a little over 100 years of research on the synthesis and the photophysical and biological properties of 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinolines that was published in the years 1911–2021. The main methods of synthesis are described, which include Friedländer condensation, synthesis from anthranilic acid derivatives, multicomponent synthesis and others. The use of this class of compounds as potential fluorescent sensors and biologically active compounds is shown. This review intends to summarize the abovementioned aspects of 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoline chemistry. Some of the results that are presented in this publication come from the laboratories of the authors of this review.

Pairing properties of nuclear matter at finite temperature

The Gogny effective interaction is used to calculate the pairing properties of symmetric nuclear matter at various densities and temperatures. A pairing collapse is predicted at a critical temperature of half the gap parameter at temperature zero. The phase diagram which separates normal and superfluid phases is calculated.
