Abstract

Under hydrothermal condition, the decomposition of methanesulfonic acid to sulfate anion is observed, resulting in the formation of a novel thorium sulfate fluoride compound ThF2(SO4)(H2O) (1). This complex is structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, revealing a three-dimensional structure crystallized in the monoclinic space-group P2(1)/n, where thorium cation is nine coordinated by four SO42- oxygen atoms, four bridging F-, and one H2O molecule. The crystal lattice parameters are a = 6.9065(7) angstrom, b = 6.9256(7) angstrom, c = 10.5892(11) angstrom, beta = 96.755(2)degrees, V 502.98(9) angstrom(3), Z = 4. The temperature dependent UV-Vis-NIR absorption spectra and fluorescence spectra were collected from 77 K to 300 K, where the intensities of the peaks varied as a function of temperature. The Raman vibrational spectrum of the samples collected from 100 to 2000 cm(-1) shows identical SO42- vibration modes. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Cerium(IV) Pyrasal Complexes: A pH-Dependent 8-to 10-Coordinate Cerium Chelate Switch

Dylan M. T. Eralie, Tessa M. Hoang, Justin A. Williamson, Daniel K. Unruh, John D. Gorden, Anne E. V. Gorden

Summary: In this work, five cerium-(IV) complexes were synthesized, three of which were structural isomorphs from the same pyrasal ligand. The solid-state result was identified through structural analysis, which depended on the initial pH of the reaction solution and the temperature. The pyrasal ligands used in this study have weaker binding due to the electron-withdrawing effect of the nitrogen atoms within the pyrazine ring. The electron-withdrawing effect also deactivates the second amine after the first condensation with salicylaldehyde. Even with extended reaction times and excess ligand, without a metal template, only one salicylaldehyde is added.

Photochromic Uranyl-Based Coordination Polymer for Quantitative and On-Site Detection of UV Radiation Dose

Jian Xie, Huiliang Hou, Huangjie Lu, Feifan Lu, Wei Liu, Xia Wang, Liwei Cheng, Yugang Zhang, Yanlong Wang, Yaxing Wang, Diwu Juan, Baowei Hu, Zhifang Chai, Shuao Wang

Summary: Highly sensitive detection of ultraviolet (UV) radiation is crucial in scientific research, chemical industries, and health-related applications. Traditional UV photodetectors have limitations in manufacturing procedures and obtaining accurate readouts. Thus, the search for new materials or simple strategies to develop UV dosimeters for quantitative, accurate, and on-site detection of UV radiation dose is highly desired. In this study, a photochromic uranyl-based coordination polymer was synthesized and a colorimetric dosimeter based on red-green-blue (RGB) parameters was developed. The mechanism of radical-induced photochromism was investigated, and the dosimeter was incorporated into an optoelectronic device for convenient, quantitative, and on-site detection of UV radiation dose.

A Radioluminescent Metal-Organic Framework for Monitoring 225Ac in Vivo

Yugang Zhang, Feize Li, Zhencun Cui, Kai Li, Jingwen Guan, Longlong Tian, Yaxing Wang, Ning Liu, Wangsuo Wu, Zhifang Chai, Shuao Wang

Summary: By using a nanoscale luminescent europium-organic framework (EuMOF), Ac-225 can be efficiently labeled in its crystal structure with sufficient retention stability. The close proximity between Ac-225 and Eu3+ allows for efficient energy transduction, generating enough photons for clear imaging. This study demonstrates the feasibility of directly monitoring Ac-225 in vivo using optical imaging, and EuMOF also shows notable effectiveness in tumor treatment.

Near-Unity Energy Transfer from Uranyl to Europium in a Heterobimetallic Organic Framework with Record-Breaking Quantum Yield

Yugang Zhang, Xia Wang, Kexin Xu, Fuwan Zhai, Jie Shu, Ye Tao, Junren Wang, Lisha Jiang, Liangwei Yang, Yaxing Wang, Wei Liu, Jing Su, Zhifang Chai, Shuao Wang

Summary: In this study, a uranyl sensitization approach was proposed to enhance the luminescence efficiency of lanthanide organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs) in a distinct heterobimetallic uranyl-europium organic framework. The record-breaking photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY, 92.68%) among all reported Eu-MOFs was achieved by nearly 100% energy transfer efficiency between UO2 (2+) and Eu3+. The overlap of excited state levels between UO2 (2+) and Eu3+ was confirmed to be responsible for the efficient energy transfer process.

Techno-economic assessment of waste mandarin biochar as a green adsorbent for binary dye wastewater effluents of methylene blue and basic fuchsin: Lab- and large-scale investigations

Ahmed S. El-Shafie, Evana Rahman, Yasser Gadelhak, Rehab Mahmoud, Marwa El-Azary

Summary: The recycling of waste mandarin peels into biochar (MRBC) has been used as a high performance and cost-effective adsorbent for treating polluted wastewater effluents. Batch adsorption studies were conducted to analyze the adsorption competency of MRBC on two dyes, methylene blue (MB) and basic fuchsin (BF), either in individual solutions or binary combinations. The results showed that MRBC was capable of effectively removing a high percentage of both dyes. However, the adsorption capacity decreased when the dyes were combined. The cost estimation of MRBC production and wastewater treatment indicated that both were relatively low.

Lead-free double perovskite Cs2NaInCl6 nanocrystals doped with Sb3+and Tb3+for copper ions detection in lubricating oil

Yuefeng Gao, Sai Xu, Baojiu Chen

Summary: This study synthesized Cs2NaInCl6 nanocrystals co-doped with Sb3+ and Tb3+ ions as probes for copper ions detection in lubricating oil. The introduction of Sb3+ effectively reduced the band gap of the host material and enabled energy transfer pathway for Tb3+ emission. The doped Tb3+ ions resulted in the suppression of emission due to electron transfer. The Cs2NaInCl6: 2.5 %Sb3+, 40 %Tb3+ NCs exhibited superior sensitivity and selectivity for copper ions detection.

Non-invasive analysis of reference glass and historical mosaic tesserae by means of reflectance infrared spectroscopy

Maria Cristina Caggiani, Germana Barone, Paolo Mazzoleni

Summary: Raman spectroscopy is commonly used for studying glassy materials in cultural heritage, but it is more difficult to interpret the spectra and apply the technique with portable instruments. In contrast, diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) can be used in archaeometric investigations as it is portable and non-invasive. However, there is limited application of this technique to historical glasses. This exploratory work demonstrates the potential of DRIFTS, in combination with portable X-ray Fluorescence (pXRF) and EDS microanalyses, for studying the composition and alteration of glass samples in cultural heritage.
