Estudos espectroscópicos e estruturais dos polímeros de coordenação 2D, ∞[Tb(DPA)(HDPA)] e ∞[Gd(DPA)(HDPA)]

This paper presents the synthesis of the coordination polymers ∞[Ln(DPA)(HDPA)] (DPA=2,6-pyridinedicarboxylate; Ln= Tb and Gd), their structural and spectroscopic properties. The structural study reveals that the ∞[Ln(DPA)(HDPA)] has a single Ln+3 ion coordinated with two H2DPA ligands in tridentade coordination mode, while two others H2DPA establish a syn-bridge with a symmetry-related Ln3+, forming a two-dimensional structure. The spectroscopic studies show that ∞[Tb(DPA)(HDPA)] compound has high quantum yield (q x≈ 50.0%), due to the large contribution of radiative decay rate. Moreover triplet level is localized sufficiently over the emitter level 5D4 of theTb3+ ion, avoiding a retrotransference process between these states.

Tempo de vida útil de propelentes base-simples

The purpose of this work was to determine the safe shelf life of single-base propellants. The kinetic parameters relative to the consumption of the stabilizer diphenylamine (DPA) added to the propellant were determined as a function of the storage and ageing time. High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) with spectrophotometric detection was used to determine the DPA percentage before and after the artificial ageing at 60, 70 and 80 ºC. The experimental data were very well adjusted to a pseudo-first order kinetic model and the respective kinetic constants are 8.0-10-3 day-1 (60 ºC); 1.9-10-2 day-1 (70 ºC); 1.2-10-1 day-1 (80 ºC). The activation energy was calculated as 130 kJ mol-1 and the half-time for depletion of the DPA at the hypothetical temperature of 40 ºC of storage was estimated as being 6 years.

Analytical solution for the Mollow and Autler-Townes probe absorption spectra of a three-level atom in a squeezed vacuum

The Mellow and Autler-Townes probe absorption spectra of a three-level atom in a cascade configuration with the lower transition coherently driven and also coupled to a narrow bandwidth squeezed-vacuum field are studied. Analytical studies of the modifications caused by the finite squeezed-vacuum bandwidth to the spectra are made for the case when the Rabi frequency of the driving field is much larger than the natural linewidth. The squeezed vacuum center frequency and the driving laser frequency are assumed equal. We show that the spectral features depend on the bandwidth of a squeezed vacuum field and whether the sources of the squeezing field are degenerate (DPA) or nondegenerate (NDPA) parametric amplifiers. In a broadband or narrow bandwidth squeezed vacuum generated by a NDPA, the central component of the Mellow spectrum can be significantly narrower than that in the normal vacuum. When the source of the squeezed vacuum is a DPA, the central feature is insensitive to squeezing. The Rabi sidebands, however, can be significantly narrowed only in the squeezed vacuum produced by the DPA. The two lines of the Autler-Townes absorption spectrum can be narrowed only in a narrow bandwidth squeezed vacuum, whereas they are independent of the phase and are always broadened in a broadband squeezed vacuum.

Europium luminescent polymeric microspheres fabricated by spray drying process

The spray drying method was used to prepare luminescent microspheres. These microspheres were prepared by spraying an aqueous solution of dextrin and an europium(III) complex with subsequent drying in a hot medium. The spray dried powder was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). Particle size distribution was estimated from SEM images. The ultrasonic spray drying technique was successfully applied to yield a microparticulated and red luminescent powder composed by the [Eu(dpa)(3)](3-) stop (dpa = dipicolinic acid) complex incorporated in dextrin microspheres.

O Mismatch Negativity em pacientes com distúrbios do processamento auditivo (central)

O Mismatch Negativity (MMN) é um potencial evocado auditivo de longa latência que fornece uma medida objetiva das habilidades de discriminação e memória sensorial auditiva. Assim, pode ser utilizado como uma avaliação eletrofisiológica do processamento auditivo (central). OBJETIVO: Estudar o MMN em pacientes com Distúrbios do Processamento Auditivo (Central) - DPA(C). FORMA DO ESTUDO: Clínico prospectivo. MATERIAL E MÉTODO: Foram avaliados oito sujeitos com DPA(C), na faixa etária de nove a 14 anos, bem como um grupo controle. O MMN foi eliciado para estímulos tonais (tone bursts) diferindo quanto à freqüência (MMNf - estímulo padrão: 750Hz e estímulo diferente: 1000Hz ), bem como quanto à duração (MMNd - estímulo padrão: 100 ms e estímulo diferente: 50 ms; na freqüência de 1000Hz). RESULTADOS: A presença do MMNf e do MMNd foi comprovada estatisticamente em ambos os grupos estudados. Não foram constatadas diferenças significantes estatisticamente entre os valores de latência e de amplitude do MMNf e do MMNd obtidos nos dois grupos. Também não foram verificadas diferenças significantes estatisticamente entre o MMNf e o MMNd em nenhum dos grupos estudados. CONCLUSÃO: Os sujeitos com DPA(C) avaliados não apresentaram alterações no MMNf, nem no MMNd.

Hydroisomerization of n-decane over SAPO-11 catalysts synthesized with methylamine as co-template

The present work deals with preliminary studies concerning a new synthesis approach to prepare SAPO materials with AEL structure and evaluate their catalytic behavior in the hydroisomerization of long paraffins. The new SAPO-11 catalysts were synthesized with the help of a small amine (methylamine, MA) added during the preparation of the initial gel. As MA incorporates into the structure of the final materials, it contributes, together with DPA (dipropylamine), to an increase in Si incorporation as isolated species, which results in Bronsted acid sites. Thus, this new and original synthesis strategy allows to obtain materials with enhanced Bronsted acidity when compared with free MA materials. The catalysts were tested in n-decane hydroisomerization (n-decane was used as a model molecule) and confirmed the effect of MA on the acidic properties of the catalysts. The samples synthesized with MA present a higher number of acid sites that increase the catalytic conversion but have a negative effect in the isomerization selectivity, i.e. a more significant amount of cracking products is formed.

Preparação e avaliação das propriedades catalíticas de materiais do tipo SAPO-11 na hidroisomerização de n-decano

Neste trabalho efectuou-se o estudo do comportamento de catalisadores bifuncionais do tipo SAPO-11, contendo 0,5% em massa de platina, em que foram efectuadas alterações durante o processo de síntese, na reacção de hidroisomerização do n-decano. As modificações efectuadas nos catalisadores foram: quantidade de silício; utilização di-propilamina (DPA) como agente estruturante ou a mistura de di-proppilamina (DPA) e metilamina (MA), funcionando esta última como co-estruturante; diferentes tempos de cristalização (24 e 12h); e a introdução de nióbio (Nb). Os catalisadores preparados foram caracterizados recorrendo às técnicas de difracção de raio-X, microscopia electrónica de varrimento, adsorção de N2, adsorção de piridina acompanhada por espectroscopia de infravermelho, reacção de hidrogenação do tolueno e quimissorção de H2. A quantidade de Si afecta a acidez e, ligeiramente, a actividade hidrogenante, levando a uma diminuição da selectividade aos produtos mono-ramificados com o aumento de Si. A utilização de MA aumenta, significativamente, o tamanho dos cristais, reflectindo-se na menor selectividade aos isómeros mono-ramificados. Nos catalisadores preparados com menor tempo de cristalização o crescimento dos cristais não é completo, sendo o seu tamanho inferior aos preparados com 24h com consequente diminuição da cristalinidade dos materiais. A presença de Nb exerce um efeito na acidez dos catalisadores e na não uniformidade do tamanho dos cristais, provocando o aumento da selectividade aos produtos multi-ramificados e reacções de craking.

Density measurements of compressed dipropyl, dibutul, bis (2-ethylhexyl) adipates from (293 to 373K) at pressures up to about 68MPa

The article reports density measurements of dipropyl (DPA), dibutyl (DBA) and bis(2-ethylhexyl) (DEHA) adipates, using a vibrating U-tube densimeter, model DMA HP, from Anton Paar GmbH. The measurements were performed in the temperature range (293 to 373) K and at pressures up to about 68 MPa, except for DPA for which the upper limits were 363 K and 65 MPa, respectively. The density data for each liquid was correlated with the temperature and pressure using a modified Tait equation. The expanded uncertainty of the present density results is estimated as 0.2% at a 95% confidence level. No literature density data at pressures higher than 0.1 MPa could be found. DEHA literature data at atmospheric pressure agree with the correlation of the present measurements, in the corresponding temperature range, within +/- 0.11%. The isothermal compressibility and the isobaric thermal expansion were calculated by differentiation of the modified Tait correlation equation. These two parameters were also calculated for dimethyl adipate (DMA), from density data reported in a previous work. The uncertainties of isothermal compressibility and the isobaric thermal expansion are estimated to be less than +/- 1.7% and +/- 1.1%, respectively, at a 95% confidence level. Literature data of isothermal compressibility and isobaric thermal expansivity for DMA have an agreement within +/- 1% and +/- 2.4%, respectively, with results calculated in this work.
