Deposition of boron nitride on graphite at 1300 K

A method for the deposition of BN onto graphite and other substrates is described. Boron trichloride (BCl₃) and ammonia (NH₃) diluted with Ar were used as reacting gases. The deposition process was carried out at 1300 K as well as lower temperatures in an open system at pressures of 1 atm. The consequences of the introduction of hydrogen to the system were considered. It was demonstrated that the replacement of argon with hydrogen increases the efficiency of the process as well as the theoretical rate of BN deposition. However, the acceleration of the deposition seems to be unprofitable, because the resulting supersaturation leads to the formation of an amorphous phase. The modification of the experimental conditions were proposed.Dedicated to Professor Dr. rer. nat. Dr. h.c. Hubertus Nickel on the occasion of his 65th birthday     

C74(BN)2的UV和IR 光谱研究

Equilibrium geometries of 16 possible isomers for C74（BN）2 were studied by INDO series of methods, to indicate that the most stable three geometries are those where boron and nitrogen atoms substitute carbon atoms located at the same hexagon near the longest axis of C78 （C2v） to form B-N-B-N unit. Electronic spectra of C74（BN）2 were investigated with INDO/CIS method. The reason for the red shift of UV absorptions for C74（BN）2 compared with those of C78 （C2v） was discussed. IR spectra for 9,8,28,29-C74（BN）2 and 28,29,30,31-C74（BN）2 were calculated on the basis of AM1 geometries.     

Simultaneous quantitative measurement of a new platelet activating factor antagonist (BN 50730) and its two main metabolites in human plasma and urine by LC-MS

Summary A simple and sensitive assay has been developed for the quantitative measurement of a new platelet activating factor antagonist (BN50730), and its two main metabolites (BN50727 and BN50922), at the picomole level in human plasma and urine. The three compounds of interest and the internal standard (BN50765) were measured by combined LC-negative chemical ionization MS. A simple solid-liquid extraction procedure was used to isolate the parent drug and the two metabolites. The MS was tuned to monitor the intense ionm/z 333 generated in the ion source by a dissociative capture process. The assay was on 1 ml plasma or 0.1 ml urine and the quantitation limit was calculated as 1 ng·ml^–1. The very low relative standard deviations and mean percentages of error calculated for within-day or between-day repeatability assays demonstrate the ruggedness of the technique for routine determination in biological fluids. Some preliminary results on the pharmacokinetics of the parent drug and its two main metabolites illustrate the applicability of this method.     

Isomers of B←N-Fused Dibenzo-azaacenes: How B←N Affects Opto-electronic Properties and Device Behaviors?

The B←N unit has a large dipole and it is isoelectronic to C−C moiety with no dipole. Incorporating B←N units into π-conjugated system is a powerful strategy to design organic small molecules and polymers with intriguing opto-electronic properties and excellent opto-electronic device performance. However, it is unclear how the B←N unit affects electronic structures and opto-electronic properties of large π-conjugated molecules. In this work, to address this question, we developed three dibenzo-azaacene molecules in which two B←N units were introduced at different positions. Although the dibenzo-azaacene skeleton is fully π-conjugated, the effect of B←N unit on the electronic structures of the adjacent rings is much stronger than that of the distant rings. As a result, the three molecules with isomerized B←N incorporation patterns possess different electronic structures and exhibit tunable opto-electronic properties. Among the three molecules, the centrosymmetrical molecule exhibits higher LUMO/HOMO energy levels than those of the two axisymmetrical molecules. When used as the active layer in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), while the two axisymmetrical molecules show unipolar electron transporting property, the centrosymmetrical molecule exhibits ambipolar hole and electron transporting behavior. This work not only deepens our understanding on organoboron π-conjugated molecules, but also indicates a new strategy to tune opto-electronic properties of organic semiconductors for excellent device performance.     

Structural,electronic, and magnetic properties of zigzag-edged BN nanoribbons with 558-type line defects

The 558-type line defect is introduced into zigzag-edged BN nanoribbons (ZBNNRs), similar to that be found in graphene, and the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties for such defective ZBNNRs are investigated systematically. It shows that they are highly stable. In the nonmagnetic state, the metallic property of ZBNNRs remains unchanged regardless of the defect positions, but different defect positions give rise to different influences on the total DOS and PDOS at the Fermi level. Interestingly, in the magnetic state, the thermal stability of magnetism is enhanced greatly when the line defect appears at most positions, even comparable with room temperature. When the line defect position shifts from the B-edge to the N-edge, the transition from the half-metal to the magnetic semiconductor or spin unpolarized semiconductor is induced. And also, the response of defect ribbons to an in-plane transverse electric field is essentially different from defect-free ribbons, and the half-metallic feature can be enhanced by an electric field for the line defect introduced into certain positions in a ribbon.     

Anaerobic biological treatment of dye bearing water in anaerobic sequencing batch reactor: Performance and kinetics studies

Textile and dye industries are main sources of dye bearing effluent. In present studies the anaerobic biological degradation of Acid Red 3BN dye water (AR3BNDW) and mixed dye water (MDW) for reduction of color and COD were studied in sequential batch reactor (SBR). The sludge as sources of microorganism was arranged from maize processing bio methanation wastewater treatment plant, which was acclimatized for treatment of AR3BNDW and MDW. After the acclimatization, dyes degradation were studied in SBR At optimum operation condition of hydraulics retention time (HRT) = 2.5 d, and treatment time (t_R) = 16 h, AR3BNDW have gone maximum 87% color reduction of 500 mg/L dye, and 82.8% COD reduction of 380 mg/L COD. At same operating condition, 84.5% color reduction of 500 mg/L dye, and 79.42% COD reduction of 413 mg/L COD achieved for MDW. The second order Grau model was fitted well for COD and dye reductions. The kinetics parameter were evaluated for both the dye water.
