Macrocycliczinc(II) Complexes with Tetradentate N2O2 Donor Schiff Base Ligands Incorporating 1,3,4-Thiadiazole Ring

A new series ofdiazadioxamacrocycliczinc(II) derivatives [{Zn(M)(H2O)2}(OAc)2] (M= macrocyclic ligands) prepared via template synthesis method, by the reaction of Schiff bases derived from bis-(2-hydrazino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-5-yl)arene/alkanes and 3,5-dichlorosalicyldehyde/2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde with 1,4-dibromobutane in the presence of Zn(II) ion. The structures of all these complexes were established on the basis of elemental analyses, spectral data (IR and 1H-NMR), PXRD, SEM techniques. Presence of coordinated water molecules in the Zn(II) complexes were confirmed by TGA analyses. The antimicrobial effects of all the synthesized complexes were evaluated against different species of pathogenic fungi (A. niger, A. alternata ) and bacteria (E. coli, B. subtilis).

Template growth of perovskites on yarn fibers induced by capillarity for flexible photoelectric applications

“Quasi-spring” network structured perovskite materials were fabricated by a capillary effect driven template synthesis method for flexible photoelectric applications.

Performance Optimization of Nanotubes Prepared by a Template Synthesis Method

PEDOT nanotubes were prepared by a template synthesis method. Based on our template, it was deduced that there are two successive processes in the formation of nanotubes. The first step is soakage of the porous templates by a polymer solution, and the second step is adsorption of free charged cationic groups and doped PEDOT onto the template surface with negative charges. XRD results showed that well orientated PEDOT chain were formed during the synthesis, moreover the arrange conductivity of molecular chains strongly affect the structures of PEDOT nanotubes. The nanotubes were measured to be about 5.5~17.6 S/cm, which is higher than that of nanotube pellet due to the high contact resistance between the adjacent nanotubes.

Research Progress on Preparation Methods of Nanofibers

Research progress of preparation methods of nanofibers was briefly reviewed and discussed based on the classification of two component composite method, template synthesis method, polymer limited domain synthesis method, and electrospinning method. Research orientations related to preparation methods of nanofibers were also proposed.

Gold Nanowire-Network Structure Prepared from Metallic Gold Nanowires Deposited in Polycarbonate Template Membrane

A network structure of gold nanowires was prepared from a template synthesis method, in which gold metal nanowires were first deposited into a polycarbonate track-etched membrane with pore diameter of 100 or 220 nm via auto-catalytic deposition (i.e., electroless deposition), followed by thermal treatment to remove the polycarbonate template membrane.
