Charged Bis-Cyclometalated Iridium(III) Complexes with Carbene-Based Ancillary Ligands
2013
Charged cydometalated (CN) iridium(III) complexes with carbene-based ancillary ligands are a promising family of deep-blue phosphorescent compounds. Their emission properties are controlled primarily by the main CN ligands, in contrast to the classical design of charged complexes where NN ancillary ligands with low-energy pi* orbitals, such as 2,2'-bipyridine, are generally used for this purpose. Herein we report two series of charged iridium complexes with various carbene-based ancillary ligands. In the first series the CAN ligand is 2-phenylpyridine, whereas in the second one it is 2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-pyridine. One biscarbene (:CC:) and four different pyridine carbene (NC:) chelators a…
White-light phosphorescence emission from a single molecule: application to OLED.
2009
A simple mononuclear cyclometallated iridium(III) complex exhibits white photo- and electro- luminescence in the wavelength range from 440 to 800 nm, which originates from a single emitting excited state of mixed character.

A new flow cell design for chemiluminiscence analysis.
2001
The present study proposes a new flow cell called a bundle cell for chemiluminescence analysis. The results obtained were compared with those achieved by manual and automated batch procedures and flow manifolds with different cells: an common quartz flow cell, a helix cell and the most used spiral cell. Figures of merit such as limit of detection, sensitivity, accuracy and precision for the Cr(III) determination were established with light emission produced by catalysed Cr(III) luminol oxidation by hydrogen peroxide in a basic aqueous solution. An improvement in sensitivity about 50% as compared with the spiral cell and even larger with respect to the other flow cells tested was observed. T…
Determination of Phenol by Preconcentration‐Direct Chemiluminescence in a FIA Assembly
2005
Abstract The determination of phenol in water samples is proposed with the aid of a flow‐injection system. The analytical procedure is based on the direct chemiluminometric emission by oxidation of the analyte with potassium permanganate in acidic medium. The flow assembly is provided with a solid‐phase reactor filled with a resin type XAD‐4 for analyte preconcentration. A large study of potential interferences, namely, amino acids reaching water through degradation of organic matter; metals and inorganic metal ions typically present in water interfering with the CL emission of the parent compound, was performed. The calibration graph was linear over the phenol concentration range 1.0–20.0 …
Liquid Chromatographic Analysis of Amphetamine and Related Compounds in Urine Using Solid-Phase Extraction and 3,5-Dinitrobenzoyl Chloride for Deriva…
1997
A chromatographic method for the analysis of amphetamine and related compounds in urine using 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl chloride (3,5-DNB) as a labeling reagent is presented. This assay is based on the employment of solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges for sample cleanup and derivatization. Experimental conditions are optimized for the simultaneous derivatization of ephedrine, norephedrine, pseudoephedrine, beta-phenylethylamine, amphetamine, methamphetamine, and 3-phenylpropylamine. The derivatives formed are separated in a LiChrospher 1000 RP18 (125 x 4-mm i.d., 5-microns film thickness) analytical column using a water-acetonitrile gradient elution and detected at 254 nm. Derivatization in C1…
Photo‐Induced Chemiluminometric Determination of Acrolein in a Multicommutation Flow Assembly
2007
Abstract This paper deals with the determination of acrolein based on a strategy provided with a sensitive detection, the chemiluminescence; a “clean chemical” analyte treatment, the on‐line UV‐irradiation; and, a simple and quick automated system, the emergent multicommutation continuous‐flow methodology. The pesticide solution is irradiated (stopped‐flow) for 30 s; then, the resulting solution is introduced to the flow‐cell after being alternated with segments of the stream formed by potassium permanganate in strong acid solution and ethanol segments. The calibration range, from 1 to 1 mg l−1, resulted in a linear behavior over the range 5–100 µg l−1 and fitting the linear equation: I=75.…
Urine polyamines determination using dansyl chloride derivatization in solid-phase extraction cartridges and HPLC
1999
The derivatization of biogenic amines such as putrescine, cadaverine, spermidine and spermine with dansyl chloride in solid phase extraction cartridges is described. Different types of filling materials were tested in order to have the highest retention of the different analytes. The best results were obtained by using C18 cartridges. The optimal conditions were: amine solution buffered at pH 12, 2 mM dansyl chloride (acetone-bicarbonate solution 20 mM (pH 9-9.5), 2 + 3 v/v) as reagent concentration, room temperature and 30 min reaction time. The developed procedure was applied to the determination of these polyamines in urine samples from healthy controls and cancer patients using HPLC wit…
New flow-multicommutation method for the photo-chemiluminometric determination of the carbamate pesticide asulam
2004
This paper deals with a straightforward automated method for the determination of asulam in water based on the use of a flow manifold including three computer-controlled solenoid valves. The method involves irradiating on an aqueous solution of asulam in glycine buffer at pH 8.3 with UV light during 90 s, then follows the oxidation with potassium permanganate in a sulphuric medium and chemiluminescence-based detection of the resulting photoproducts. The limit of detection thus achieved is 40 mug l(-1). The detector response is linear up to a 5 mg l(-1) asulam concentration and the throughput is 30 samples h(-1). In parallel tests, oxidation with alkaline ferricyanide was also assessed and t…
A tandem-flow assembly for the chemiluminometric determination of hydroquinone
2003
A direct chemiluminescent procedure for determination of hydroquinone based on the emergent flow methodology known as multicommutation or tandem-flow is presented for first time. The manifold was based on a set of three channels and three solenoid valves; and, the determination was performed at 60degreesC and at flow-rate of 7.5 ml min(-1). The complete cycle lasted 35 s, which resulted in a sample flow trough of 103 h(-1). The chemical process was the hydroquinone oxidation with the system sulphuric acid-potassium permanganate; and the light emission was clearly enhanced by the presence of quinine sulphate and benzalkonium chloride reaching a detection limit of 30 Rg l(-1). The dynamic int…
The natural compound chrysosplenol-D is a novel, ultrasensitive optical sensor for detection of Cu(II)
2020
Abstract Herein, we introduce a novel, ultrasensitive optical sensor for determination of Cu(II) ions over the concentration range of 0 to 1 μM Cu(II). The optical sensor is based on the natural molecule chrysosplenol-D (Chp-D) extracted from the flowering plant Chiliadenus montanus (Vahl.) Brullo. Free Chp-D emits fluorescence at 566 nm when excited at 292 nm. Chp-D chelates Cu(II) ions to form a 1:1 (metal:ligand) complex, which quenches the fluorescence emission peak of the free probe at 566 nm. “Turn-off” luminescence could be easily determined and provided distinct proof of the chelation of Cu(II) ions by Chp-D. This novel optical sensor offers a considerable fluorescence mechanism (ch…
