Glass-forming non-symmetric bis-styryl-DWK-type dyes for infra-red radiation amplification systems
2019
Abstract A series of D-π-A type organic dyes with bulky triphenylmethyl moiety containing 2,6-bis-(4-substituted)styryl-4H-pyran-4-ylidene donor (D) fragments and different electron acceptors (A) were synthesized and investigated, mostly for potential applications in organic solid-state lasers as infra-red (IR) radiation amplification medium. Dye glass transition temperature is above 99 °C with thermal stability in the region from 173 °C to 326 °C which was slightly influenced by the electron acceptor fragment attached to the 4H-pyrane ring in 4-position. Introducing substituents in 4-position within one of the styryl-fragments with stronger electron withdrawing properties decreased ASE exc…
Single particle jumps and correlated ionic motions in glass-ceramics
1993
Using impedance spectroscopy, the ion transport in poorly Li-conducting aluminosilicate glass ceramics and their precursor glasses has been measured for temperatures 50 K < T < 550 K and covering a frequency range of more than 14 decades from 10 mHz up to 3 THz. In addition to the familiar cooperative ionic motion dominating at high temperatures, for the first time dielectric relaxation due to elementary hopping processes is observed well below room temperature.
ESR of Nd3+ in BaTiO3
1990
Afin d'identifier les defauts responsables de l'effet photo-refractif dans BaTiO 3 , on etudie ces cristaux. Les echantillons contiennent generalement divers etats de charge et des associations de Fe, Cr, ainsi que des trous de O − induits par le rayonnement. On trouve un nouveau centre qui doit etre attribue a Nd 3+ . Dans la presente etude, l'echantillon utilise n'est pas dope, et on l'etudie dans la phase rhomboedrique a T∼77 K. Il apparait que Na est une impurete courante dans BaTiO 3 probablement incorporee avec le materiau de depart, BaCO 3
Copolymers sensitive to temperature and pH in water and in water+oil mixtures: A DSC, ITC and volumetric study
2011
Block copolymer micelles are receiving an increasing interest because of the variety of structures and the possibilities to tune them by changing external and internal parameters achieving the desired properties for a specific purpose. We have investigated the acid/base behavior, self-assembling and solubilization ability towards polar oils of star-like copolymers named Tetronics. They are composed of branched four-arms each one consisting of two blocks made of EO and PO units linked to the diethylenediamine group, which confers pH response ability. The copolymers T1107 and T90R4 were studied with a sequential and reverse architecture. The thermodynamics of the acid/base equilibrium was stu…
Transfer of Some Alkyl Substituted Ferrocenes from Water to Cationic Surfactant Micelles Studied by Kinetic Method
1994
Abstract Binding of ferrocene and its 1,1′-dimethyl and n -butyl derivatives to dodecyl and tetradecyltrimethylammonium nitrate micellar aggregates has been studied at 20.0°C and ionic strength 0.02 tool dm -3 by examining the micellar retarding effects on the rates of iron(III) oxidation of these substrates. Solubilization of the ferrocenes in the cationic micellar phase increases as the substrate hydrophobic character increases and, to a lesser extent, as the surfactant hydrocarbon chain length becomes longer. The critical micelle concentrations of the surfactants used and the incremental free energy of transfer of methylene groups of both the substrate and the surfactant from the aqueous…
Enthalpies of Mixing of Some Primary Hydrogenated and Fluorinated Alcohols and Sodium Dodecanoate Aqueous Solutions
1993
Abstract The enthalpies of transfer from water to the surfactant solutions ΔH(W → W + S) of some hydrogenated and fiuorinated alkanols and of sodium dodecanoate NaL were determined. In the premicellar region the measurements were carried out as functions of both the additive and the surfactant concentrations in order to evaluate the interaction parameters between the additive and the surfactant molecules. It is shown that in this region, pair, triplet, and quadruplet interaction parameters between unlike solute molecules contribute to ΔH(W → W + S). Within the large uncertainty with which these parameters are determined because of the very narrow surfactant and alcohol concentration interva…
Kinetic and Mechanistic Aspects of a Poly(o-toluidine)-Modified Gold Electrode. 1. Simultaneous Cyclic Spectroelectrochemistry and Electrogravimetry …
2012
International audience; Electrodeposited poly(o-toluidine) (POT) on gold electrodes was investigated in a 0.5 M H2SO4 aqueous solution using cyclic electrogravimetry with in situ vis-NIR spectroscopy. This coupling of different techniques allows the electrical, color, and mass changes during the electrochemical reactions of these polymers to be correlated. Therefore, this is a powerful tool to obtain valuable information on the physical models of polymer films and their electrochemical properties. The accurate analysis of the results from these techniques showed the contribution of three different redox transitions (leucoemeraldine-polaron transition, polaron-bipolaron transition, and bipol…
Atomistic Simulations of Functional Au_{144}(SR)_{60} Gold Nanoparticles in Aqueous Environment
2012
Charged monolayer-protected gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been studied in aqueous solution by performing atomistic molecular dynamics simulations at physiological temperature (310 K). Particular attention has been paid to electrostatic properties that modulate the formation of a complex comprised of the nanoparticle together with surrounding ions and water. We focus on Au-144 nanoparticles that comprise a nearly spherical Au core (diameter similar to 2 nm), a passivating Au-S interface, and functionalized alkanethiol chains. Cationic and anionic AuNPs have been modeled with amine and carboxyl terminal groups and Cl-/Na+ counterions, respectively. The radial distribution functions show tha…
Fine tuning of the catalytic effect of a metal-free porphyrin on the homogeneous oxygen reduction.
2011
The catalytic effect of tetraphenylporphyrin on the oxygen reduction with ferrocene in 1,2-dichloroethane can be finely tuned by varying the molar ratio of the acid to the catalyst present in the solution. The mechanism involves binding of molecular oxygen to the protonated free porphyrin base, in competition with ion pairing between the protonated base and the acid anion present.
Hybrid Molecular Materials Based upon Organic π-Electron Donors and Inorganic Metal Complexes. Conducting Salts of Bis(ethylenediseleno)tetrathiafulv…
2002
Abstract The synthesis, structure and physical characterization of three new radical salts formed by the organic donor bis(ethylenediseleno)tetrathiafulvalene (BEDS-TTF or BEST) and the paramagnetic hexacyanoferrate(III) anion [Fe(CN)6]3− or the photochromic nitroprusside anion [Fe(CN)5NO]2− are reported: (BEST)4[Fe(CN)6] (1), (BEST)3[Fe(CN)6]2·H2O (2) and (BEST)2[Fe(CN)5NO] (3). Salts 1 and 3 show a layered structure with alternating organic (β–type packing) and inorganic slabs. Salt 2 shows an original interpenetrated structure probably due to the unprecedented presence of (BEST)2+ dications. The three salts are semiconductors although salt 1 exhibits a high room temperature conductivity …
