Synthesis and Characterization of Extended Bis(terpyridine)ruthenium Amino Acids
2009
(Oligopyridine)ruthenium(II) complexes have been widely used in dye sensitized solar cells and other sophisticated optical devices due to their outstanding photophysical properties and their chemical stability. Herein, we describe the longitudinal extension of our previously reported bis(terpyridine)ruthenium(II) amino acid [Ru(tpy–NH2)(tpy–COOH)]2+ (tpy = 4′-substituted 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine) by insertion of para-phenylene spacers –C6H4– between the terpyridine and the functional groups. The influence of the para-phenylene spacer on the absorption and emission properties is investigated using UV/Vis absorption and emission spectroscopy and is discussed within a qualitative molecular orbit…
Natural compounds as light stabilizer for a starch-based biodegradable polymer
2014
Abstract The photooxidation behavior of a commercial starch-based biodegradable polymer, i.e., new generation Mater-Bi, loaded with natural stabilizers was investigated in consideration for outdoor agricultural applications. The photooxidation behavior of the biodegradable films was monitored mainly by mechanical tests and spectroscopic analysis. In order to formulate biodegradable films without any synthetic compounds, suitable for outdoor applications and with good photooxidation stability, antioxidants such as α-tocopherol and quercetin (Q) were considered. The results obtained using natural compounds were compared with those obtained by using a synthetic antioxidant and a light stabiliz…
Trophic habits of Muscardinus avellanarius (Mammalia Gliridae) as revealed by multiple stable isotope analysis
2007
Multiple stable isotope analysis was used to investigate the diet of the common dormouse Muscardinus avellanarius in a mixed Mediterranean forest. δ13C and δ15N values of dormouse tissues compared to those of the vegetal and animal sources available in the area showed that the isotopic composition of both adult and juvenile M. avellanarius could be explained by a mixture of vegetal and animal organic matter. The isotopic composition of the assimilated nitrogen was mostly explained by the organic matter from flora. Among the vegetal components, flowers of Fagus silvatica, Quercus robur, and the rarer Crataegus oxyacantha, berries of Ilex aquifolium and acorns of Q. robur were found in the ad…
Synthesis and Properties of Some Simple Organotitanium Compounds
1986
Before embarking on a detailed discussion of the titanation of carbanions, synthetic and physical organic aspects of several typical organotitanium (IV) compounds shall be surveyed, including thermal stability, aggregation state, X-ray structural data and bond energies. Some of this information is useful in understanding reactivity and selectivity in reactions with organic substrates. Low valent Ti (II) and Ti (III) shall be mentioned only on passing; the interested reader is referred to reviews [1].
Macrocycles as Molecular Units to Build up Electroresponsive Materials: A Comparative Theoretical Investigation of the Electronic and Optical Propert…
1990
Besides their classical and well-known applications as, e.g., dyes, pigments, catalysts, etc. [1], phthalocyanines (Pc’s) have been of particular interest in many fields of basic and applied research concerning solar cells [2], photosensitizers [3], low dimensional metals [4], gas sensors [5], electrochromism [6], Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films [7], and nonlinear optics [8]. As an example, gas sensors [9], electronic devices [10], laser recording materials [11], and photovoltaic cells [12] can now be built from LB films of phthalocyanines. This great variety of interesting applications results from a number of unique properties that phthalocyanines exhibit On the one hand, they show an except…
Properties of the Nafion membrane impregnated with hydroxyl ammonium based ionic liquids
2012
In this work, the Nafion 112 membrane impregnated with nine various hydroxyl ammonium based ionic liquids have been investigated. The used ionic liquids were combined from hydroxyl ammonium cations (2-hydroxyethylammonium/HEA, bis(2- hydroxyethyl)ammonium/BHEA, tris(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium/THEA) and carboxylate anions (formate, acetate, lactate). The membranes are characterized by conductivity and thermal stability measurements. It was found, that almost all composites have 10 times higher ion conductivity than a pure Nafion 112 at 90 ?C in ambient environment due to the higher thermal stability. The thermal stability of Nafion membrane was increased by all studied nine ionic liquids. In th…
Über die thermische stabilität von copolymeren des 1,3,5-trioxans. 26. Mitt. über polyoxymethylene1
1965
Die thermischen Eigenschaften von Copolymeren aus Trioxan und cyclischen Athern, cyclischen Acetalen, Lactonen oder Vinylmonomeren werden erortert. Die Copolymeren haben zwar meist etwas niedrigere Schmelztemperaturen als homopolymeres Polyoxymethylen; sie depolymerisieren jedoch im Gegensatz zu reinen Polyoxymethylendiolen beim Erhtitzen auf 200°C nur partiell. Der thermisch stabile Antiel der Copolymeren wird Auser durch ihre Zusammensetzung vor allem durch ihren Polymerisationsgrad bestimmt. Die Entstehung von Endgruppen und ihr Einflus auf die thermische Stabilitat werden diskutiert. Thermal properties of copolymers of trioxane with cyclic ethers and acetals, lactones and vinyl monomers…
Die herstellung einiger gekennzeichneter, aliphatischer azoverbindungen und ihre anwendung als initiatoren der polymerisation
1970
Es wird die Herstellung von vier Azoverbindungen beschrieben, die sich zum Teil vom α.α′-Azo-(isobuttersaurenitril) ableiten. Zwei Verbindungen geben bei der Polymerisation von Methacrylsauremethylester und Styrol Endgruppen, die in den Polymeren photometrisch leicht zu bestimmen sind; fur eine wird gezeigt, das sie die Polymerisation von Styrol startet, ohne das storende Nebenreaktionen auftreten. Die beiden anderen Azoverbindungen sind wegen ihrer hohen Zersetzungspunkte geeignet, radikalische Polymerisationen bei hoheren Temperaturen auszulosen (160°C). The preparation of four derivatives of α.α′-azo-bis-isobutyronitrile is described. The polymerization of methylmethacrylate and styrene …
