In-situ microscopic FT-IR spectroelectrochemical investigation of polythiophene film modified electrode

A polythiophene film was electrochemically deposited on a Pt micro-plate electrode and investigated by cyclic voltammetry and in-situ reflection microscopic FTIR spectroscopy. The FTIR analysis showed that the electropolymerization of thiophene on the Pt surface was affected Lv the surface adsorption processes of thiophene molecules. Two adsorption modes were identified. Two structure models of the polythiophene chain were observed simultaneously. It was proposed that the good conductibility of the polythiophene film was originated from a co-vibratory equilibrium of the link part of model I and model II.

The NMR-spectroscopic and X-ray crystal-structural characterization of two Cp*Ir halfsandwich complexes containing the 1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane-1,2-diselenolato ligand

The reaction of [Cp*IrCl2](2) with dilithium 1,2-orthocarborane-1,2-diselenolate 3 leads to the green 16-electron diselenolene complex [Cp*Ir{Se2C2(B10H10)}] (4) which takes up two-electron ligands such as trimethylphosphane to give the 18-electron diselenolate derivative [Cp*Ir(PMe3)-{Se2C2(B10H10)}] (5). The molecular structures of 4 and 5 were determined by X-ray crystal structure analysis. The Se-77-nuclear shielding in 4 is lower by almost 500 ppm relative to that in 5.

Comparison of wavelet transform methods - The compression of IR spectral data

In this paper, an introduction of wavelet transform and multi-resolution analysis is presented. We describe three data compression methods based on wavelet transform for spectral information,and by using the multi-resolution analysis, we compressed spectral data by Daubechies's compactly supported orthogonal wavelet and orthogonal cubic B-splines wavelet, Using orthogonal cubic B-splines wavelet and coefficients of sharpening signal are set to zero, only very few large coefficients are stored, and a favourable data compression can be achieved.

梳状高分子固体电解质共混体系的FT-IR研究

用傅立叶变换红外光谱对乙烯基甲醚/交替马来酸酐共聚物多缩乙二醇酯体系(CBP和CBPS单离子体系)和聚氧化乙烯共混物及其盐复合物的结构和相容性进行了研究，对主要红外光谱峰作了归属。结果表明，CBP与PEO、CBP、PEO和LiClO4分子间作用力较弱，易出现相分离，温度变化对CBP/PEO的相容性无影响，只影响PEO的结晶，加入LiClO4抑制了PEO的结晶。在CBPS/PE共混体系中存在着强的离子—偶极相互作用，改善了相容性，得到了热力学相容体系。共混比影响离子—偶极键浓度，对键强影响不大，此外还有弱的偶极—偶极相互作用存在

Reaction of halfsandwich iridium polychalcogenide complexes with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate. Molecular structure of Cp*Ir[S2C2(COOMe)(2)]

The pentamethylcyclopentadienyl iridium complexes Cp*Ir(PMe3)(E-n) (E = S, n = 4, 5 or 6; E = Se, n = 2 or 4 E = Te, n = 2) react with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate to give Cp*Ir(PMe3)[E2C2(COOMe)(2)] compounds which tend to lose the trimethylphosphine ligand; the molecular structure of the dithiolene derivative, Cp*Ir[S2C2(COOMe)(2)], has been determined.

The use of half-sandwich iridium dithiolate and diselenolate complexes, Cp*Ir(L)(ER)(2) (L = CO, PMe3, PPh3; ER = SPh, SePh, SeMe), for the synthesis of heterodimetallic compounds. The molecular structure of Cp*Ir(CO)(mu-SePh)(2)[Mo(CO)(4)]

Carbonyl-iridium half-sandwich compounds, Cp*Ir(CO)(EPh)(2) (E = S, Se), were prepared by the photo-induced reaction of Cp*Ir(CO)(2) with the diphenyl dichalcogenides, E2Ph2, and used as neutral chelating ligands in carbonylmetal complexes such as Cp*Ir(CO)(mu-EPh)(2)[Cr(CO)(4)], Cp*Ir(CO)(mu-EPh)(2)[Mo(CO)(4)] and Cp*Ir(CO)(mu-EPh)(2)[Fe(CO)(3)], respectively. A trimethylphosphane - iridium analogue, Cp*Ir(PMe3)(mu-SeMe)(2)[Cr(CO)(4)], was also obtained. The new heterodimetallic complexes were characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy, and the molecular geometry of Cp*Ir(CO)(mu-SePh)(2)[Mo(CO)(4)] has been determined by a single crystal X-ray structure analysis. According to the long Ir...Mo distance (395.3(1) Angstrom), direct metal-metal interactions appear to be absent. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY AND IN-SITU IR MICROSPECTROELECTROCHEMISTRY IN A VERSATILE THIN-LAYER REFLECTION FOURIER-TRANSFORM IR MICROSPECTROELECTROCHEMICAL CELL

A simple, convenient and versatile thin layer reflection Fourier transform IR microspectroelectrochemical (FTIRMSEC) cell has been described and characterized. Electrochemistry and in situ FTIR microspectroscopy were studied by using the hexacyanoferrate redox couple in aqueous sulphate solution, indicating that this type of cell is characteristic of both micro- or ultramicroelectrode and thin layer spectroelectrochemistry. Furthermore, the application of this FTIRMSEC cell to IR for characterization of the products of electrochemical reactions was carried out for the oxidation of (mesotetraphenylporphinato)manganese(III) perchlorate in dichloromethane + tetrabutylammonium perchlorate solution. Finally, the advantages and problems of this type of cell compared with a conventional optically transparent thin layer FTIR spectroelectrochemical cell were discussed.

AN INTEGRATED CALCIUM-FLUORIDE CRYSTAL IR THIN-LAYER CELL AND ITS APPLICATION TO IDENTIFICATION OF ELECTROCHEMICAL REDUCTION PRODUCT OF BILIRUBIN

An integrated CaF2 crystal optically transparent infrared (ir) thin-layer cell was designed and constructed without using any soluble adhesive materials. It is suitable for both aqueous and nonaqueous systems, and can be used not only in ir but also in uv-vis studies. Excellent electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical responses were obtained in evaluating this cell by cyclic voltammetry and steady-state potential step measurements for both ir and uv-vis spectrolectrochemistry with ferri/ferrocyanide in aqueous solution, and with ferrocene/ferrocenium in organic solvent as the testing species, respectively. The newly designed ir cell was applied to investigate the electrochemical reduction process of bilirubin in situ, which provided direct information for identifying the structure of the reduction product and proposing the reaction mechanism.

苯乙烯-丁二烯-苯乙烯/聚乙烯基甲基醚共混体系相容性的FT-IR及DSC研究

嵌段高聚物、均聚物共混体系相容性是近年来研究的热点。本工作以光学显微镜、DSC、FT-IR为手段,研究了三嵌段高聚物苯乙烯-丁二烯-苯乙烯(SBS);SBS-48、SBS-30,SBS-28与聚乙烯基甲基醚共混体系的相容性。DSC结果表明,随SBS中PS含量的升高,体系相容性变好,PS段分子量增大,也有助于体系相容。FT-IR结果表明PVME中COCH_3在1100cm~(-1)附近呈现的双峰的相对强度对体系的相容性十分敏感,而由于苯环C—H振动产生的698cm~(-1)峰位却不象PS/PVME体系那样随相容性的改变而有显著的改变。总而言之,嵌段高聚物SBS/均聚物PVME共混体系中,体系的相容性依赖于嵌段高聚物在体系中的组份含量及嵌段高聚物中PS的重量百分含量,PS段分子量的大小对体系相容性也有影响。

IR AND RAMAN-SPECTRA STUDIES OF THE RARE EARCH COMPLEXES WITH GLUTATHIONE

In situ preparation of Ir/ZSM-5/cordierite honeycombs and their application for NOx abatement

ZSM-5 zeolites were synthesized in situ onto cordierite honeycombs by vapor phase transport (VPT) for the first time. The as-synthesized ZSM-5/cordierite honeycombs were impregnated with IrCl3 and tested for NOx reduction with a simulated exhaust gas as the reducing agent. Under the conditions of excess oxygen, the Ir/ZSM-S/cordierite monolith catalyst exhibited NO reduction of 73% at a temperature of 573 K and a space velocity of 20,000 h(-1).

Catalytic reduction of NO over in situ synthesized Ir/ZSM-5 monoliths

The catalytic performance of Ir-based catalysts was investigated for the reduction of NO under lean-burn conditions over binderless Ir/ZSM-5 monoliths, which were prepared by a vapor phase transport (VPT) technique. The catalytic activity was found to be dependent not only on the Ir content, but also on the ZSM-5 loading of the monolith. With the decreasing of the Ir content or the increasing of the ZSM-5 loading of the monolith, NO conversion increased. When the ZSM-5 loading on the cordierite monolith was raised up to ca. 11% and the metal Ir content was about 5 g/l, the NO conversion reached its maximum value of 73% at 533 K and SV of 20 000 h(-1). Furthermore, both the presence of 10% water vapor in the feed gas and the variation of space velocity of the reaction gases have little effect on the NO conversion. A comparative test between Ir/ZSM-5 and Cu/ZSM-5, as well as the variation of the feed gas compositions, revealed that Ir/ZSM-5 is very active for the reduction of NO by CO under lean conditions, although it is a poor catalyst for the C3H8-SCR process. This unique property of Ir/ZSM-5 makes it superior to the traditional three-way catalyst (TWC) for NO reduction under lean conditions. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
