Identification of vegetal species in wooden objects using in situ microextraction-assisted voltammetry of microparticles

2017

[EN] A method for identifying vegetal species in wooden objects using microextraction-assisted voltammetry of microparticles is described. The proposed methodology, aimed at facilitating tasks of patrimony conservation, is based on the recording of the voltammetric response of microparticulate films of compounds resulting from microextraction with organic solvents (ethanol, acetone, and chloroform) of micro- or sub-microsamples of wood in contact with aqueous buffers. Upon application of bivariate and multivariate chemometric techniques, the obtained voltammetric responses led us to identify different taxonomic groups from the characteristic voltammetric profiles. Application to a series of…

Extension of the potential intervals of high redox activity and electronic conductivity of polypyrrole films on electrode surface via their electroch…

2021

Abstract Thin polypyrrole films (thickness: about 30 nm) have been deposited at electrode surface via potentiostatic oxidation of dilute (1 mM) pyrrole solution in acetonitrile (AN). It has been shown that their subsequent treatment by means of multi-cycle voltammetry within a broad potential range (up to -2.0 V vs. Ag/Ag+ in AN) leads to their "activation", i.e. to a very strong extension of their redox response region in the negative direction as well as to almost uniform distribution of the redox activity within this potential range. Region of their high conductivity under in situ conditions has also extended significantly. Spectral and electrocatalytic properties of such PPy films befor…

Electrochemical oxidation of substituted pyrroles.III.Anodic oxidation of 2,5-diphenyl-3-acetylpyrrole

1991

The electrochemical oxidation of 2,5-diphenyl-3-acetylpyrrole (I) is described. The cyclic derivative 1,6a-dihydro-2,5,6a-triphenyl-3,4-diacetylbenzo[g]pyrrolo[3,2-e]indole (II) was obtained in very good yield. However, when water was present in the reaction medium, a different derivative, 4-acetyl-2-hydroxy-2,5-diphenyl-3-(4′-acetyl-2′,5′-diphenyl-3′-yl)-2H-pyrrole (III), was obtained as the main product. 2,2′,5,5′-Tetraphenyl-4,4′-diacetyl-3,3′-dipyrryl (IV), a potentially useful intermediate for the synthesis of condensed pyrroles, was synthesized by zinc reduction of III.

Electrochemistry of Carbon Dioxide on Carbon Electrodes.

2016

Carbon electrodes have the advantages of being chemically inert at negative potential ranges in all media and high offset potentials for hydrogen evolution in comparison to metal electrodes, and therefore are the most suitable electrodes for electrochemistry and electrochemical conversion of CO2 into valuable chemicals. Herein we summarize on carbon electrodes the voltammetry, electrochemical and electrocatalytic CO2 reduction, as well as electron synthesis using CO2 and carbon electrodes. The electrocatalytic CO2 reduction using carbocatalyts and the future activities about electrochemical CO2 conversion are highlighted.

The organometallic trinuclear aqua cyano-bridged complex [{(η5-C5H5)(PPh3)2Ru(μ-CN)}2RuCl2(PPh3)(H2O)]PF6 (1), in which the fragment [RuCl2(PPh3)(H2O)] acts as a bridge and an acceptor group between the two terminal cyclopentadienyl ruthenium cyano moieties, was isolated in moderate yield from the reaction of [(η5-C5H5)(PPh3)2RuCN] with [RuCl2(PPh3)3] in THF. To the best of our knowledge, compound 1 is one of the few examples of a trinuclear array of ruthenium fragments bridged by the nitrogen atom of the–C≡N– group (Ru–C≡N–Ru′–N≡C–Ru) with a Ru-coordinated water molecule. The new aqua complex was structurally characterized by FTIR, 1H, 13C, and 31P NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, elem…

Synthesis and Characterization of New Keggin-Based Structure Tungstocobaltates: K9[Co3+W11O39] and its Vanadium Derivatives, K8[Co2+W11V4+O40], K7[Co…

1995

Abstract Good yield synthesis of the potassium salts of four new interrelated : olyoxometalates, [Co3+W11O39]9-(I), [Co2+W11V4+O4]8-(II), [Co2+W11V5+O40]7-(III), and [Co3+W11V5+O40]6-(IV), are reported. The title compounds have been characterized by IR and UV-Vis.-NIR spectroscopies, cyclic voltammetry and magnetic measurements. IR spectra confirm that I has the lacunary structure of an undecatungstate anion, while II through IV have a substituted α-Keggin structure with the vanadium atom located at an octahedral site replacing one tungsten atom. Optical data confirm the oxidation states for both, the Co and V atoms, as formulated for I through IV.

Carbazole-based green and blue-BODIPY dyads and triads as donors for bulk heterojunction organic solar cells.

2020

Two BODIPY derivatives with one (B2) and two (B3) carbazole moieties were synthesized and applied as electron-donor materials in organic photovoltaic cells (OPV). Their optical and electrochemical properties were systematically investigated. These BODIPY dyes exhibit excellent solubility in organic solvents and present high molar extinction coefficients (1.37–1.48 × 105 M−1 cm−1) in solutions with absorption maxima at 586 nm for mono-styryl groups and at 672 nm for di-styryl groups. The introduction of the styryl moieties results in a large bathochromic shift and a significant decrease in the HOMO–LUMO energy-gaps. The BODIPY dyes show relatively low HOMO energies ranging from −4.99 to −5.1…

Tetraurea calix[4]arenes with sulfur functions: synthesis, dimerization to capsules, and self-assembly on gold.

2007

Various calix[4]arene derivatives, fixed in the cone conformation by decylether groups and functionalized at their wide rim by urea residues, were synthesized. In two compounds (4f,g) sulfur functions were attached to the urea groups via different spacers in order to allow binding to metal surfaces. While they exist as single molecules in polar solvents, tetraurea calix[4]arenes of this type (4) combine to form dimeric capsules in aprotic, apolar solvents. A solvent molecule is usually included in such a capsule, if no guest with a higher affinity is present. In the presence of an equimolar amount of the tetratosylurea 5, the exclusive formation of heterodimers, consisting of one molecule o…

Solvent-dependent formation of Os(0) complexes by electrochemical reduction of [Os(CO)(2,2'-bipyridine)(L)Cl2]; L = Cl(-), PrCN.

2014

Cyclic voltammetry and ultraviolet-visible/infrared (UV-vis/IR) spectroelectrochemistry were used to study the cathodic electrochemical behavior of the osmium complexes mer-[Os(III)(CO) (bpy)Cl3] (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) and trans(Cl)-[Os(II)(CO) (PrCN)(bpy)Cl2] at variable temperature in different solvents (tetrahydrofuran (THF), butyronitrile (PrCN), acetonitrile (MeCN)) and electrolytes (Bu4NPF6, Bu4NCl). The precursors can be reduced to mer-[Os(II)(CO) (bpy(•-))Cl3](2-) and trans(Cl)-[Os(II)(CO)(PrCN) (bpy(•-))Cl2](-), respectively, which react rapidly at room temperature, losing the chloride ligands and forming Os(0) species. mer-[Os(III)(CO) (bpy)Cl3] is reduced in THF to give ultimate…
