Thermodynamic properties and cloud droplet activation of a series of oxo-acids
2010
Abstract. We have investigated the thermodynamic properties of four aliphatic oxo-dicarboyxlic acids identified or thought to be present in atmospheric particulate matter: oxosuccinic acid, 2-oxoglutaric acid, 3-oxoglutaric acid, and 4-oxopimelic acid. The compounds were characterized in terms of their cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) activity, vapor pressure, density, and tendency to decarboxylate in aqueous solution. We deployed a variety of experimental techniques and instruments: a CCN counter, a Tandem Differential Mobililty Analyzer (TDMA) coupled with a laminar flow-tube, and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS). The presence of the oxo functional group in the α-position ca…
Selective Surface Modification of SiO2−TiO2 Supports with Phosphonic Acids
2004
The selective surface modification by phosphonic acids of SiO2−TiO2 supports at the micrometer and molecular scale was investigated. Under aqueous conditions, phosphonic acids bind to TiO2 and not to SiO2 surfaces. A micropatterned support was prepared by electron beam microlithography and selectivity, of the surface modification was evidenced using scanning Auger electron spectroscopy (SAES). The second support was a mesoporous SiO2−TiO2 mixed oxide (10 mol % Ti) epoxidation catalyst prepared by sol−gel processing. Selectivity was deduced from the decrease of the catalytic activity upon modification and from chemical analysis; bonding modes to the surface were investigated using solid-stat…
Complexes of Azelaic and Diethylenetrioxydiacetic Acids with Na+, Mg2+, and Ca2+ in NaCl Aqueous Solutions, at 25 °C
1999
Formation constants of Na + , Mg 2+ , and Ca 2+ complexes of azelaic and diethylenetrioxydiacetic acids have been determined by potentiometry (H + -glass electrode) at different ionic strengths (0 ≤ I ≤ 1 mol dm -3 ), at t = 25 °C. For all the systems the species ML and MHL have been found. The relative formation constants are reported together with the parameters for the dependence on ionic strength. Results are discussed in comparison with those for other carboxylic ligands. Speciation problems are considered also.
Temperature and light sensitive copolymers containing azobenzene moieties prepared via a polymer analogous reaction
2009
Abstract Four different series of polyacrylamides containing different amounts of azobenzene moieties have been synthesized via a polymer analogous reaction of poly(pentafluorophenylacrylate) (PPFPA). All copolymers were designed to exhibit a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) in aqueous solution, which was dependent on (i) the amount of incorporated chromophoric azobenzene groups and (ii) the isomerization state of the respective azobenzene group. Higher LCST values were measured for UV-irradiated solutions of the copolymers in comparison to the non-irradiated copolymer solutions. A maximum difference in the LCST of up to 7 °C was found for the copolymer poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide…

Molecular Recognition-Induced Function and Competitive Replacement by Hydrogen-Bonding Interactions: Amphiphilic Barbituric Acid Derivatives, 2,4,6-…

The phenomenon of molecular recognition inducing further function is common in nature. However, there are few synthetic systems which achieve this cascade type mechanism, and those are generally ca...
Structure and fluxional behaviour of heptaleneirontricarbonyl and heptalenebis (Irontricarbonyl)
1987
Abstract The synthesis of heptaleneirontricarbonyl ( 4 ) is described. The structures of 4 and of the closely related heptalenebis(irontricarbonyl) ( 3 ) are elucidated by NMR spectroscopy ( 1H and 13C) and by X-ray crystallography. Compounds 3 and 4 are shown by dynamic NMR to undergo an isodynamic 1 ,2-migration of the Fe(CO3)-groups as well as a carbonyl scrambling. The relevant kinetic data allow for a mechanistic discussion of the dynamics and a comparison with other irontricarbonyl complexes.
Synthesis, characterization, and complexation of tetraarylborates with aromatic cations and their use in chemical sensors.
2005
Five aromatic borate anions, namely tetrakis(4-phenoxyphenyl)borate (1), tetrakis(biphenyl)borate (2), tetrakis(2-naphthyl)borate (3), tetrakis(4-phenylphenol)borate (4), and tetrakis(4-phenoxy)borate (5), have been prepared and tested as ion-recognition sites in chemical sensors for certain aromatic cations and metal ions. To gain further insight into the complexation of the cations, some complexes have been prepared and structurally characterized. The complexation behavior of 1 and 2 towards N-methylpyridinium (6), 1-ethyl-4-(methoxycarbonyl)pyridinium (7), tropylium (8), imidazolium (9), and 1-methylimidazolium (10) cations has been studied, and the stability constants of the complexes o…
Boehmite Supported Pyrene Polyamine Systems as Probes for Iodide Recognition
2013
New organic–inorganic fluorescent probes made by attaching the tripodal polyamine (tris(2-aminoethyl))amine (tren), propylamine, or diethylenetriamine functionalized with pyrene as a fluorophore to an γ-aluminum oxohydroxide matrix have been prepared and studied both in solution and supported on the surface of boehmite nanoparticles. Both kinds of systems have been revealed as sensitive and selective fluorescence turn-off chemosensors for iodide in aqueous solution with an estimated detection limit that reaches 36 ppb. The recognition characteristics and photophysical properties of these molecules are essentially preserved when they are grafted to the surface of the particles. Since the nan…
Effects of organic matter complexation on partitioning of transition metals into calcite: Cave-analogue crystal growth experiments
2022
We highlight the potential for first row transition metals to carry paleohydrological signals in speleothems, and argue that these metals constitute valuable proxies for climate reconstructions. Metal availability to speleothems is hypothesised to be restricted by organic complexation, which strongly limits the free ion activity of transition metals (Co2+, Ni2+ and Cu2+) in dripwater, thereby creating a kinetic overprint on metal concentrations and isotope ratios in speleothem calcite. This study presents the results of the first cave-analogue experiments of transition metal partitioning into calcite in the absence and presence of organic ligands. The Geological Microclimate (GeoMic) system…
