A polymeric europium complex with the ligand thiophene-2-carboxylic acid: Synthesis, structural and spectroscopic characterization

A polymeric complex [Eu(α-tpc)3(α-Htpc) 2]n and its characterization by single crystal X-ray and thermal analysis, infrared and photoluminescence spectroscopies are described. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic Cc space group. The asymmetric unit is formed from a europium ion bonded to one carboxyl oxygen of five different thiophene carboxylic moieties. Three of these moieties are deprotonated and bridge between neighboring europium ions giving rise to an infinite polymer along the c axis. Besides the europium characteristic emission lines, the emission spectra show unambiguously the crystal size effect on the 5D0 → 7F0 transition. The complex thermal decomposition at 220 C leads to a stable luminescent complex in which the 5D0 → 7F4 transition reveals a monomeric characteristic. The Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters to the polymeric and the monomeric compound with the same ligand and coordination number were compared. © 2013 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Síntese de hidróxidos duplos lamelares do sistema Cu, Zn, Al-CO3: propriedades morfológicas, estruturais e comportamento térmico

Hidrotalcitas são argilas aniônicas, também conhecidas como Hidróxidos Duplos Lamelares (HDLs) e possuem estrutura semelhante ao mineral brucita. Os HDLs do sistema Cu, Zn, Al-CO₃ foram sintetizados em condições que favorecem a formação de cristais pequenos e de elevada área superficial. A caracterização foi feita por difração de raios X, análise termogravimétrica, espectroscopia na região do infravermelho e microscopia eletrônica de varredura. A síntese foi feita pelo método de coprecipitação em pH variável, utilizando sulfatos de cobre e zinco, soluções de alumínio e solução de hidróxido sódio. Os difratogramas de raios X mostram que os compostos sintetizados possuem alta cristalinidade; a intensidade e a largura dos picos comprovam que os materiais se apresentam bem organizados e com empilhamento das lamelas. Os espectros de infravermelho apresentaram bandas associadas ao ânion carbonato presente na região interlamelar dos HDLs.

Acetylene plasma polymer treated by atmospheric dielectric barrier discharge

Plasma polymer films are very attractive for industrial applications in several sectors such as in the electronic, mechanic, biomedic, coating and others, due to its good adhesion, being insoluble in mild acids and bases and having a high crosslinking structure. This work reports the physical, structural, and surface properties of the polymer obtained from an acetylene plasma polymerization technique and treated by dielectric barrier discharge (DBD). The film was deposited in a reactor supplied by a radio-frequency power source at low pressure. After deposition, the nanofilms were treated in a DBD plasma reactor operating in air. The treatment times varied from 1 to 5 min. The analysis of molecular structure of the samples was investigated by FTIR spectroscopy, showing absorption bands in 3480, 2930, 1720, 1450 and 1380 cm(-1). The water contact-angle was investigated by goniometric technique and presented values from 5 to 65 degrees. The aging effect of these films was also studied. The alteration in the films surface morphology was assessed by an atomic force microscopy (AFM) which indicated that the roughness increased from 60 nm to 160 nm as a result of the DBD treatment. The refractive index of the samples presented values near 1.7, measured by UV-Visible spectroscopy. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Parameters optimization of heat treatment for obtaining luminescent PZT powders

Low crystalline PZT powder samples were successfully synthesized using polymeric precursor method and slow decomposition steps. The polymeric resin precursor was thermal treated in a muffle type oven varying the temperature from 250 °C to 700 °C and the time from 3 to 24 hours in order to investigate the order/disorder mechanism toward the amorphous powders. Powder samples with low crystalline phases were obtained at lower temperatures and long time of thermal treatment, demonstrating a kinetic dependence for organic removal and a thermodynamic barrier for crystallization processes. Through XRD and FTIR spectroscopy characterizations the long time thermal treated samples showed to be composed of the solid solution of metal oxides in absent of organic matter, originating broad XRD peaks profiles and no carbonaceous bands in FTIR spectra. A Photoluminescence characterization showed that the peak emission is higher for disordered and homogeneous phases, which only can be reached through the long time of thermal treatment.
