In this contribution, large-area organic charge-transfer complex (AgTCNQ and CuTCNQ) nanowires were synthesized by organic vapor−solid-phase reaction at mild experimental conditions. These nanowires were facilitated on the surface of Cu and Ag foils or different kinds of substrates coated with a layer of silver and copper on a large scale. The excellent field emission properties were observed in the as-grown AgTCNQ and CuTCNQ nanowires. They should have great potential in vacuum device applications.
AbstractTwo 5-tetrazolylazo-8-hydroxyquinoline (TTHQ) Zn2+ and Mn2+ complexes, [Zn(TTHQ)(en)]·2H2O (en = ethylenediamine) (1) and [Mn2(TTHQ)2(H2O)6]·2H2O (2), were synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Stacking (π–π) and hydrogen-bonding interactions are responsible for the stabilization of the supramolecular structures. UV–vis spectral changes and photoluminescent properties of TTHQ, 1 and 2 were investigated and a red emission was found. The hydrogen-bonding interaction energies in 1 and 2 were calculated using density functional theory at the WB97XD/6-31++G level.Keywords: 8-Hydroxyquinoline derivativesCrystal structureRed photoluminescenceDFT Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China [grant number 21271052]; Science and Technology Program Foundation of Guangzhou [grant number 2013J4100016]; Program Foundation of the Second Batch of Innovation Teams of Guangzhou Bureau of Education [grant number 13C04].
A novel spin trap containing an iodoacetamide group has been synthesized and then used to target polypeptides, i.e. glutathione and bovine serum albumin, by which the resulting covalently bonded bioconjugates exhibit great potential for the application of spin trapping of transient radicals in biological systems.
In the title compound, C(18)H(19)NO(2), the allyl group is disordered over two sets of sites [occupancy ratio 0.662 (4):0.338 (4)]. The dihedral angle between the phenyl and benzene rings is 87.44 (10)°. The oxazinane ring adopts a sofa conformation.
This paper presents a new effective approach for the sensitive film deposition of surface acoustic wave (SAW) chemical sensors for detecting organophosphorus compounds such as O-ethyl-S-2-diisopropylaminoethyl methylphosphonothiolate (VX) containing sulfur at extremely low concentrations. To improve the adsorptive efficiency, a two-step technology is proposed for the sensitive film preparation on the SAW delay line utilizing gold electrodes. First, mono[6-deoxy-6-[(mercaptodecamethylene)thio]]-β-cyclodextrin is chosen as the sensitive material for VX detection, and a ~2 nm-thick monolayer is formed on the SAW delay line by the binding of Au-S. This material is then analyzed by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Second, the VX molecule is used as the template for molecular imprinting. The template is then removed by washing the delay line with ethanol and distilled water, thereby producing the sensitive and selective material for VX detection. The performance of the developed SAW sensor is evaluated, and results show high sensitivity, low detection limit, and good linearity within the VX concentration of 0.15–5.8 mg/m3. The possible interactions between the film and VX are further discussed.
