We focus on another kind of square-type unit nanogrids with starlike divergent extensibility. As a result, square windmill-like nanogrid <b>WG4</b> have been successfully synthesized by two different kinds of fluorene-based nanosynthons, namely I-shape nanosynthon and L-shape nanosynthon synthesis method. Besides <b>WG4</b>, triangle and hexagon windmill-like nanogrids (<b>WG3</b> and <b>WG5</b>) are also obtained via one-pot nanosynthesis of I-shape nanosynthon with <b>WG3</b> as the main product. For the L-shape nanosynthon synthetic method, the cyclization process possesses higher selectivity, resulting to an excellent yield for <b>WG</b>4. In addition, two stereoisomers of the triangle nanogrids, <i>cis-trans</i>-<b>WG3</b> and <i>cis-cis-</i><b>WG3</b>, were separated and characterized from the single-crystal X-ray diffraction and <sup>1</sup>H NMR analyses for getting insight into the configuration of the triangle nanogrids with the skeleton planarization for the <i>trans</i>-configuration and deplanarization for the <i>cis</i>-configuration.

SiO2 doped by polyaniline for application in electrorheological (ER) fluid was prepared by using a simple one-pot interfacial synthesis method. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image shows that the morphologies of SiO2 may be changed from spherical to fibroid structure by changing the molar ratio of tetraethyl orthosilicate(TEOS) and aniline. X-ray diffraction (XRD) proves that polyaniline does not change the crystallinity of SiO2. The ER behaviors of SiO2 doped by polyaniline in silicone oil are investigated with different doping degrees under different shear rate, and the results show that properly doping polyaniline improves electrorheological behavior of SiO2.

AbstractWe studied the dependence between properties and synthesis method for PEGylated ZnS nanoparticles. Thus, we proposed the PEGylation of ZnS nanopowder, in non-aqueous medium, by a facile one-pot synthesis in very mild conditions, as an alternative for the chemical precipitation of PEGylated ZnS in an aqueous solution, and we compared the properties of zinc sulfide obtained by both methods. The structure and morphology of PEGylated ZnS nanopowders were investigated by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, and the FTIR spectra confirmed the PEGylation of ZnS nanoparticles. The values for band gap energy are in good accordance with the quantum confinement effect for nanocrystals. The mean dimension of particles was calculated, on the basis of UV–Vis spectra, by using the Brus equation and it is in good agreement with the crystallites size, determined from X-ray diffraction. The photocatalytic properties of synthesized nanopowders were tested in the degradation of Congo red azo dye, demonstrating a faster bleaching of dye in the presence of PEGylated ZnS prepared in non-aqueous medium. The photoluminescence properties are also dependent on the synthesis method and can be correlated with the surface modifications by PEG.

The aluminum, gallium, and indium tris(ligand) complexes of 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-n-propyl-4-pyridinone and 1-n-butyl-3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyridinone have been prepared and characterized. All six compounds were prepared in a one-pot synthesis from maltol, n-propyl-, or n-butylamine and an appropriate metal(III) salt, and were completely characterized (IR, FAB-MS, 1H NMR, 27Al NMR, elemental analysis). Three of the six complexes were studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and were found to form trihydrates, unlike their 1-methyl and 1-ethyl analogues, which formed dodecahydrates. The n-butylpyridinone complex Al(C10H14NO2)3•3H2O (Al(nbp)3•3H2O) and n-propylpyridinone complexes Al(C9H12NO2)3•3H2O (Al(npp)3•3H2O), and Ga(C9H12NO2)3•3H2O (Ga(npp)3•3H2O) were essentially isostructural, crystallizing in the space group [Formula: see text] with the following crystal parameters for Al(nbp)3•3H2O (Al(npp)3•3H2O, Ga(npp)3•3H2O): a = 15.885(1) (15.328(1), 15.367(2)) Å, c = 7.280(8) (7.231(2), 7.256(2)) Å, Z = 2. the data were refined by using 1280 (1377, 1802) reflections with I > 3σ(I) to R andRw values of 0.047 (0.057, 0.055) and 0.061 (0.077, 0.081), respectively. They form fac geometries with infinite chains of hydrogen bonds parallel to the c axis similar to those found in the 1-methyl and 1-ethyl complexes. They lack the hexagonal channels of water molecules which characterized the dodecahydrates and are therefore not exoclathrates. Key words: metal complexes, hydroxypyridinone ligands, exoclathrate, hydrogen bonding, crystal structures.

Unique properties of quantum dots (QDs) are controlled by their customizable particle sizes which can be engineered to suit local need. One-pot organometallic injection synthesis of cadmium selenide (CdSe) QDs is reported. The operation started with the injection of a week old selenium (Se) precursor into a boiling non-coordinating octadecene (ODE) at 195oC resulting in the formation of monodispersed size tunable CdSe QDs with discrete homogeneous nucleation. Differences in the injection and withdrawal time of the sample resulted to the dissimilarity in the shape, size and the opto-electronic properties of the QDs. The effect of oxygen on the synthesized CdSe QDs was studied by exposing freshly prepared sample to atmospheric oxygen for 206 days. The samples were characterized using optical absorption spectroscopy (UV-vis), optical photoluminescence (PL), X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electron dispersive X-ray (EDX) X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Noticeable deformation on the size, shape and the crystalline orientation of the CdSe QDs were observed on the oxygen-interacted sample.Although the synthesis method is safe and produced good quality CdSe QDs, the interaction of the sample with oxygen degrades their opto-electronic quality.

The 6-N(CH3)3-6-CB9H11 carbaborane reacts with sodium in liquid ammonia with the formation of 6-CB9H12- which was used as a starting compound for preparing the 4-CB8H14, 9-L-6-CB9H13 (L = (CH3)2S, CH3CN and P(C6H5)3), 1-(η5-C5H5)-1,2-FeCB9H10-, and 2,3-(η5-C5H5)2-2,31-Co2CB9H10- carboranes. The 4-CB8H14 compound was dehydrogenated at 623 K to give 4-(7)-CB8H12 carborane. Base degradation of 6-N(CH3)3-6-CB9H11 in methanol resulted in the formation of 3,4-μ-N(CH3)3CH-B5H10. The structure of all compounds was proposed on the basis of their 11B and 1H NMR spectra and X-ray diffraction was used in the case of the transition metal complexes.

Soybean dreg is a by-product of soybean products production, with a large consumption in China. Low utilization value leads to random discarding, which is one of the important sources of urban pollution. In this work, porous biochar was synthesized using a one-pot method and potassium bicarbonate (KHCO3) with low-cost soybean dreg (SD) powder as the carbon precursor to investigating the adsorption of methylene blue (MB). The prepared samples were characterized with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), elemental analyzer (EA), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Raman spectroscopy (Raman), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The obtained SDB-K-3 showed a high specific surface area of 1620 m2 g−1, a large pore volume of 0.7509 cm3 g−1, and an average pore diameter of 1.859 nm. The results indicated that the maximum adsorption capacity of SDB-K-3 to MB could reach 1273.51 mg g−1 at 318 K. The kinetic data were most consistent with the pseudo-second-order model and the adsorption behavior was more suitable for the Langmuir isotherm equation. This study demonstrated that the porous biochar adsorbent can be prepared from soybean dreg by high value utilization, and it could hold significant potential for dye wastewater treatment in the future.

AbstractThis study presents a preparation of SrFe12O19– SrTiO3 nanocomposite synthesis via the green auto-combustion method. At first, SrFe12O19 nanoparticles were synthesized as a core and then, SrTiO3 nanoparticles were prepared as a shell for it to manufacture SrFe12O19–SrTiO3 nanocomposite. A novel sol-gel auto-combustion green synthesis method has been used with lemon juice as a capping agent. The prepared SrFe12O19–SrTiO3 nanocomposites were characterized by using several techniques to characterize their structural, morphological and magnetic properties. The crystal structures of the nanocomposite were investigated via X-ray diffraction (XRD). The morphology of SrFe12O19– SrTiO3 nanocomposite was studied by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The elemental composition of the materials was analyzed by an energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX). Magnetic properties and hysteresis loop of nanopowder were characterized via vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) in the room temperature. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra of the samples showed the molecular bands of nanoparticles. Also, the photocatalytic behavior of nanocomposites has been checked by the degradation of azo dyes under irradiation of ultraviolet light.
