PREPARATION STRUCTURE AND PHYSICAL-PROPERTIES OF NEW SILVER LANTHANIDE MOLYBDENUM OXIDES [AGLNMO(2)O(8)(LN=LA-ND AND SM)]

We present the synthesis of AgLnMo(2)O(8) compounds with Ln = La-Nd and Sm. These compounds represent a scheelite-type structure characterized by MoO4- tetrahedrons. IR spectra show five absorption peaks in the region of 1000-400cm(-1), around 800cm(-1) and 400cm(-1), which correspond to the modes of the tetrahedral MoO42- groups. All of AgLnMo(2)O(8) (Ln = La-Nd and Sm) oxides are dielectric materials at room temperature. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility ofAgLnMo(2)O(8) (Ln = Ce-Nd and Sm) shows Curie-Weiss law behavior from 100K to 300K. This indicates that both Ce and Pr exist in +3 oxidation state in AgLnMo(2)O(8). For AgLaMo2O8, diamagnetic properties are found as expected.

PREPARATION AND MICROSTRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF SURFACE-MODIFIED NANOSIZED SNO2 PARTICLES

Nanosized stannic oxide particles modified with a layer of DBS were successfully prepared through the colloidal chemical method and their microstructures were characterized. FTIR and XPS were used for the determination of the main components. It can be proved that the nanosized SnO2 particles were capped by DBS. The sizes of particle were determined by TEM and XRD. By the investigation of XPS, we can conclude that there are a lot of oxygen vacancies in the surface of the nanoparticulates. Based on this conclusion, the ESR signal of the sample can be explained.

PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A MULTICYLINDER MICROELECTRODE COUPLED WITH A CONVENTIONAL GLASSY-CARBON ELECTRODE AND ITS APPLICATION TO THE DETECTION OF DOPAMINE

A multi-cylinder microelectrode coupled with a conventional glassy carbon disc electrode (MCM/GC) was prepared and characterized using cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. It was demonstrated that in the same way as one observed a steady-state current at closely spaced microelectrodes when redox recycling takes place, the same effect can be obtained with the MCM/GC device. The experimental results obtained with K3Fe(CN)6 solutions were compared with a previously developed theory. Further, it was demonstrated that with a carbon fibre MCM/GC device, the voltammetric behaviour of dopamine is greatly improved by virtue of redox recycling, hence giving high sensitivity. The steady-state collection current was linearly related to dopamine concentration in the range 1 X 10(-4) to 5 x 10(-7) Mol l-1, and the detection limit was 2 x 10(-7) mol l-1. The influence of coexisting ascorbic acid was also investigated. This device was applied successfully in the determination of dopamine hydrochloride in pharmaceutical preparations.
