BET surface area measurement showed that the as-syn-thesized carbon-doped titania by TPC at475°C had as high as204m2/g specific surface area,which is impor-tant for improving photocatalytic activity.But the car-bon-doped titania prepared by reported carbon doping method usually had a lower specific surface area and larger crystal size[11,12].Fig.1gives the UV–Vis diffusive reflectance absorp-tion spectra of the pure titania and carbon-doped titania pared to that of the carbon-doped titania, the absorption edge near400nm of the pure titania has a red-shift of20nm,which might be contributed by the higher content of rutile in pure titania than in carbon-doped titania,as rutile has a narrower band gap (3.0eV)than anatase(3.2eV).The as-synthesized pure titania almost has no absorption above400nm.How-ever,the doping of carbon results in obvious absorption of titania up to700nm.This absorption feature suggests that these carbon-doped titania can be activated by visible light.The photocatalytic activity of as-synthesized titania samples for the gas-phase oxidation of benzene was tested on a home-made re-circulating gas-phase photo-reactor with a quartz window,which was connected to the ppbRAE meter(RAE system Inc.)to re-circulate a mixture of benzene and ambient air without additional drying and measure concentration of the volatile organic compounds(VOCs).Artificial solar light with full spec-trum(32W VITA LITE lamp)was used as irradiation source.First,0.7000g titania powder was put into the reactor,then a known amount of benzene was injected in the system under dark.After the adsorption of benzene on titania reached to adsorption equilibrium,artificial solar light was turn on.Fig.2shows the amounts of total volatile organic compounds(VOCs)with the artificial so-lar light irradiation time.Morawski and co-workers[13] prepared carbon-modified titania by heating at the high temperatures of titanium dioxide in an atmosphere of gaseous n-hexane.They found that carbon-modified titania had catalytic photoactivity slightly lower than that of TiO2without carbon deposition.In our experi-ment of preparing anatase TiO2by hydrolysis of TiOCl2 solution,the precipitate was neutralized to pH8.0by 0.1mol/l KOH aqueous solution.When we did not use KOH solution to neutralize the titania precipitate and just washed thoroughly the titania precipitate with dis-tilled water.Then,we use this titania without neutraliza-tion by KOH solution to prepare the carbon-doped titania by TPC.It was found that this carbon-doped titania has almost similar photocatalytic activity for the gas-phase photo-oxidation of benzene to the un-doped titania prepared by the same procedure but replacing cyclohexane saturated Ar by air.This result is similar to the result reported by Morawski et al.How-ever,the as-synthesized carbon-doped titania,which was prepared by TPC of anatase titania with neutralization by KOH solution,have much better photoactivity for the gas-phase photo-oxidation of benzene than the un-doped titania as well as Degussa P25titania,a bench-marking photocatalyst.This result shows that the neutralization of titania by KOH solution plays very important role in the photocatlytic activity of thefinally obtained carbon-doped titania,and doping a proper26Y.Li et al./Chemical Physics Letters404(2005)25–29amount of carbon into the KOH neutralized titania by our method leads to the obvious enhancement of its photoactivity.Our experiment shows that thefinal carbonization temperature has an important effect on the photoactiv-ity,and the optimum carbonization temperature is be-tween475and500°C.The photocatalytic activity of the as-synthesized carbon-doped titania is unchanged after several successive cycles of photocatalytic tests un-der artificial light irradiation,indicating the stability of the catalysts after photolysis.Asahi et al.[5]made a theoretical calculation of the densities of states(DOSs)of the substitutional doping of C,N,F,P,or S for O in the anatase TiO2crystal by the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave in the framework of the local density approximation (LDA).They thought that the substitutional doping of N or S was the most effective because its p states contrib-ute to the band gap narrowing by mixing with O2p states,but the states introduced by C and P are too deep in the gap to satisfy one of the requirements for visible light sensitive photocatalyst.However,previous works [11,12,14]and our experiment show that the carbon-doped titania has visible light photocatalytic activity. Therefore,we must try tofind the reason why as-synthe-sized carbon-doped titania has visible light photocata-lytic activity.To investigate the carbon states in the photocatalyst, C1s core levels were measured by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy(XPS),as shown in Fig.3a.There are two XPS peaks at284.6,288.2eV for the as-synthesized carbon-doped titania,but it was confirmed that there was only one peak at284.6eV for pure titania even though it is not shown here.Obviously the peak at 284.6eV arises from adventitious elemental carbon. Hashimoto and co-workers[11]prepared carbon-doped titania by oxidizing TiC,and observed C1s XPS peak with much lower binding energy(281.8eV).They as-signed this C1s XPS peak to Ti–C bond in carbon-doped anatase titania by substituting some of the lattice oxygen atom by carbon.Khan et al.[12]synthesized carbon-modified rutile titania by controlledflame pyrolysis of Ti metal,and thought that the carbon substituted for some of the lattice oxygen atoms.However,Sakthivel and Kisch[14]prepared carbon-modified titania by hydrolysis of titanium tetrachloride with tetrabutylam-monium hydroxide followed by calcinations at400°C, and observed the two kinds of carbonate species with binding energies of287.5and288.5eV.These resultssuggest that the preparation method plays an important role in determining the carbon oxidation state in car-bon-modified titania:both substitution of the lattice oxygen in the titania and the formation of carbonate species in titania lead to the narrowing of the band gap infinal obtained carbon-doped titania.Our result is similar to that of Sakthivel and Kisch,but the carbon-doped titania prepared by our method only has one peak nearby at288.2eV,indicating the presence of only one kind of carbonate species.Therefore,our result does not contradict the theoretical expectation of Asahi et al.because the carbon exists in form of carbonate, not by substituting the oxygen of the anatase in the as-synthesized carbon-doped titania.The sensitivity ofY.Li et al./Chemical Physics Letters404(2005)25–2927the as-synthesized carbon-doped titania to visible light maybe arises from other reason.The surface carbon concentration in our sample was estimated by XPS to be7.3%.The XPS spectral of Ti2p region were also shown(Fig.3b).The XPS spectra of Ti2p3/2in the car-bon-doped titania can befitted as one peak at457.8eV. Compared to the binding energy of Ti4+in pure anatase titania(458.6eV),there is a red-shift of0.8eV for the carbon-doped titania,which suggests that Ti3+species was formed in the carbon-doped titania[15].In our experiment of preparing anatase TiO2,the precipitate was neutralized to pH8.0by0.1mol/l KOH aqueous solution.K was also detected by XPS in thefinally ob-tained carbon-doped titania prepared from this KOH neutralized titania.The XPS spectral of K2p region were also shown(Fig.3c).The XPS spectra of K2p3/2in the carbon-doped titania can befitted as one peak at 292.5eV,which could be assigned to K+.The surface K concentration in our sample was estimated by XPS to be13.3%.Fig.4shows EPR spectra of as-synthesized doped titania,recorded at77K and ambient temperature un-der dark.The XPS results show the presence of Ti3+ in the as-synthesized carbon-doped titania.It can be seen from Fig.4that Ti3+is also detected by EPR at low temperature(77K).Moreover,there are observed two kinds of Ti3+in the as-synthesized carbon-doped titania.The signal at g^=1.9709,g i=1.9482is assigned to surface Ti3+[16,17],and the signal at g=1.9190is as-signed to vacancy-stabilized Ti3+in the lattice sites or similar center in the subsurface layer of titania[18,19]. At ambient temperature,the Ti3+EPR signal disap-pears,but the strong symmetric signal at g=2.0055still exists,and no EPR signal was detected for pure anatase titania.Moreover,our experiment showed that the used carbon-doped titania still had a strong EPR signal at g=2.0055after experienced photocatalytic test.Serwicka[20]observed a broad signal assigned to Ti3+ ions at g=1.96and a sharp signal at g=2.003on the vacuum-reduced TiO2at673–773K.They attributed the latter signal to a bulk defect,probably an electron trapped on an oxygen vacancy.Nakamura et al.[21]re-ported that the symmetrical and sharp EPR signal at g=2.004detected on plasma-treated TiO2arose from the electron trapped on the oxygen vacancy.The pres-ence of Ti3+in the as-synthesized carbon-doped titania implies that there must be some change for oxygen spe-cies localized near Ti3+in the carbon-doped titania to satisfy the requirement of charge equilibrium,which is further confirmed by the EPR proof of the existence of vacancy-stabilized Ti3+in the as-synthesized carbon doped bined with the reported assignment for the EPR signal,the signal at g=2.0055newly ob-served here for the as-synthesized carbon-doped titania can be assigned to the electron trapped on the oxygen vacancy.It was reported that reducing TiO2introduces localized oxygen vacancy states located at0.75–1.18eV below the conduction band edge of TiO2[22],which re-sults in sensitivity of the reduced TiO x photocatalyst to visible light.So,for titania containing localized oxygen vacancy,the band gap between valence band and local-ized oxygen vacancy state is 2.45–2.02eV.Our UV experiments showed that the carbon-doped titania has an obvious absorption up to700nm(mainly in the re-gion of450–610nm(2.74–2.02eV))as shown in Fig.1, which further confirms that localized oxygen vacancy states actually exist in the as-synthesized carbon-doped titania and the existence of localized oxygen vacancy states results in the sensitivity of the as-synthesized car-bon-doped titania photocatalyst to visible light.Based on our results of UV,XPS and EPR,it is concluded that the presence of Ti3+species produced in the process of carbon doping of the K-contained titania leads to the formation of oxygen vacancy state(O t.Ti3+)in the as-synthesized carbon-doped titania between the valence and the conduction bands in the TiO2band structure, which results in the sensitivity of the as-synthesized car-bon-doped titania to visible light and its high photocat-alytic activity under irradiation of artificial solar light.It was proved by our photocatalytic experiment that the oxygen vacancy state in the as-synthesized carbon-doped titania had good stability because its photocata-lytic activity was unchanged after several successive cycles of photocatalytic test under artificial light irradiation.We think that the co-existence of K and carbonaceous species together stabilize Ti3+species and the oxygen vacancy state in the as-synthesized carbon-doped titania.In summary,the carbon-doped titania with high sur-face area and good crystallinity was prepared by temper-ature-programmed carbonization of nano anatase titania withfinal carbonization temperature of475°C under aflow of cyclohexane.This carbon-doped titania28Y.Li et al./Chemical Physics Letters404(2005)25–29showed an obvious absorption of titania up to700nm, and had much better photocatalytic activity for gas-phase photo-oxidation of benzene under irradiation of artificial solar light than pure titania.The visible light photocatalytic activity is ascribed to the presence of oxy-gen vacancy state because of the formation of Ti3+spe-cies in the as-synthesized carbon-doped titania between the valence and the conduction bands in the TiO2band structure,which results in sensitivity of the as-synthe-sized carbon-doped titania to the visible light.

In mass spectrometry, ionization of MOFs is an important prerequisite for mass spectrometric analysis and detection. Starting from the principles and characteristics of common ion sources, ion source, sample requirement and types of ions generated for characterizing MOFs by MS are summarized.

MOFs 具有比表面积大、气孔率高和热稳定性能优良等特点,常用于催化、化学传感器、无机和有机成分的吸附,如有毒成分或离子吸附等,备受化学、环境和生物医药等领域科研人员的青睐[1-7]. 因MOFs的重要理论和应用价值,科学家们根据它的空间结构及化学组成的特点,发展了一系列用于表征其性质的方法,如X-射线衍射(X-ray diffraction, XRD)、核磁共振波谱(nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, NMR)、X-射线光电子能谱(X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, XPS)、X-射线吸收谱(X-ray absorption spectroscopy, XAS)、扫描电子显微镜(scanning elec-tron microscopy, SEM)、傅里叶变换红外光谱(four-ier transform infrared spectroscopy, FTIR)、透射电子显微镜(transmission electron microscopy, TEM)及质谱(mass spectrometry, MS)等用于此类化合物的结构定性与应用表征[8-14]. 近年来,由于质谱技术的飞速发展,它可以快速准确地分析气相、液相、固相样品中各种物质的种类(定性分析)及其含量(定量分析),质谱与色谱联用还能进行复杂混合物的高灵敏分析,尤其是高分辨质谱分析可有效进行元素分析,精准推断化合物组成,在MOFs表征上显示出特有的优势.由于质谱的检测对象是离子,离子源是质谱的关键部件之一,它是将分子或原子电离成离子,然后供后续质量分析器分析. 离子源不仅为质谱仪提供可分析的样品离子,而且其种类与质谱的应用密切相关. 目前常用的商业化离子源包括:电喷雾电离(electrospray ionization, ESI)[15-16]、大气压化学电离(atmospheric pressure chemical ionization, APCI)[17]、电子轰击电离(electron-impact ionization, EI)[18-19]、基质辅助激光脱附电离(matrix-assisted laser desorp-tion/ionization, MALDI)[20-21]及电感耦合等离子电离(inductively coupled plasma, ICP)[22]等.基于MOFs的研究热点和质谱的技术优势,本文从常见离子源的原理和特点出发,总结了质谱用于MOFs 分析时样品的要求及离子化特点,并基于此进一步介绍了质谱在MOFs分析及应用表征方面的研究进展.1 离子源概述自1886年气体放电离子源(gas discharge ionization)作为质谱仪的首个离子源出现至今,各种电离技术层出不穷[23-24]. 2004年,电喷雾脱附电离(desorption electrospray ionization, DESI)的发明更是推动直接质谱分析技术的发展和应用[25]. 张兴磊等[26]从离子化能量作用方式概述了直接质谱技术的发展,并对近年来出现的新型离子化技术和装置进行了系统总结. 离子源的种类与样品性质和质谱应用相关,表1列举了常见离子源电离的特点及应用领域.1.1 ESIESI是目前应用最广泛的离子源之一. 1984年,表 1 常见离子源电离特点及应用Table 1 Characteristics and applications of several common ion sources离子源分类离子类型应用领域文献火花离子源(spark source, SS)放电原子离子固体样品,痕量分析[27]辉光放电(glow discharge, GD)等离子体诱导原子离子痕量分析[28]诱导耦合等离子体(inductively coupled plasma,ICP)等离子体诱导原子离子同位素分析,痕量分析[22]电子轰击(electron-impact ionization, EI)电子诱导不稳定的分子离子小分子,GC-MS数据库比对[18]化学电离(chemical ionization, CI)电子诱导不稳定的分子离子GC-MS[29]大气压化学电离(atmospheric pressure chemical ionization, APCI)电子诱导稳定的分子离子小分子,非极性或弱极性,LC-MS[17]大气压光电离(atmospheric pressure photoionization, APPI)光稳定的分子离子LC-MS,极性化合物[30]84分析测试技术与仪器第 29 卷美国化学家John Fenn和日本科学家Yamashita将ESI用作质谱离子源产生样品离子,后来进一步改进用作液相色谱-质谱(LC-MS)仪的接口. ESI电离的基本过程如图1 [36-37](a)所示:样品溶于极性可挥发性溶剂中,并以一定流速经过石英毛细管. 在毛细管尖端加高电压场,尖端会产生带电小液滴. 带电小液滴经氮气流扫吹及加热等辅助去溶剂化作用,产生化合物离子[15-16]. “残余电荷机理”(charge residue model)[38]及“离子蒸发机理”(ion evapora-tion model)[39]常用于解释ESI电离的过程,Keberle 等[40-42]认为ESI是一种在大气环境下发生的特殊的电化学过程.ESI的出现是质谱发展史上的一次重大飞跃.该离子源的特点包括:ESI在大气压条件下电离,是LC-MS的完美接口. 软电离,可以用于分析非共价复合物(non-covalent complexes). 产生多电荷离子,应用到生物大分子领域. 也可以用于适合分析极性化合物[40]. 基于以上特点,ESI电离MOFs如产生加合分子离子峰(比如[M+H]+,[M+Na]+),样品应有一定极性,通常有机配体需具有质子化结合位点[11, 43].1.2 APCIAPCI是在大气压条件下电离气体样品的离子源,适合分析非极性和弱极性化合物,弥补了ESI 电离此类化合物的不足,是LC-MS和气相色谱-质谱(GC-MS)的常见接口. APCI离子源结构如图1(b)所示:在电晕针上加电流,电晕放电产生稳定的反应离子(例如N2+),流动相载带的样品溶液,在加热和高流速气流作用下发生气化,气体样品分子与反应离子发生离子-分子反应产生样品离子[44-45]. APCI电离的样品需加热气化,因此需要待测样品沸点较低,加热易气化且应具有较好的热稳定性. APCI一般分析的是分子量在1 000以内的小分子.1.3 MALDIMALDI是另一种常用的商业离子源,尤其适用于聚合物、蛋白质、核酸等大分子样品的质谱分析. MALDI电离可分为三步:先将样品和基质混合,滴加到金属样品板上结晶. 基质一般是能显著吸收紫外光或红外光的小分子,如2, 5-二羟基苯甲酸(DHB),α-氰基-4-羟基肉桂酸(CHCA)等[46]. 脉冲激光束照射样品板后,基质分子吸收激光能量发生电离,样品和基质分子从样品板上脱附出来. 脱附的气体成分含有基质离子、基质分子、样品分子等. 基质离子与脱附出来的样品分子相互作用,诱导样品电离[如图1(c)所示].MALDI对盐和缓冲液等具有较好的耐受性,常用于分析血清、组织等生物样品[47],MALDI成像技术也得到广泛地应用和发展[48-49]. MALDI通常电离产生单电荷离子,也是一种软电离方式,多用于表征超分子、聚合物及生物大分子等样品的分子量.1.4 EIEI是GC-MS的常用离子源,同APCI类似适合于电离稳定性好、易气化的化合物. 如图1(d)所示:样品气化后从轴向引入离子源腔体内,径向上的加热灯丝产生高能电子束,与样品分子发生碰撞,诱导分子电离[18]. 为提高电子-分子的碰撞概率,电子束两端会加入磁场. 在电子轰击过程中,分子化学键易断裂产生碎片离子,所以EI源是典型的硬电离. 碎片离子能提供化合物的结构信息,且碎裂程度可以通过降低电子束的能量进行调节. 电子束的能量通常为70 eV,可产生丰富的碎片离子[50]. EI源得到的质谱图与质谱仪种类无关,重现性好,后续续表 1离子源分类离子类型应用领域文献场电离(field ionization, FI)强电场不稳定的分子离子分子化合物[31]电喷雾电离(electrospray ionization, ESI)喷雾稳定的分子离子软电离,极性化合物[15]电喷雾脱附电离(desorption electrosprayionization, DESI)喷雾稳定的分子离子直接电离[25]实时直接分析(direct analysis in real time, DART)放电稳定的分子离子直接电离[32]二次离子电离(secondary ionization mass spectrometry, SIMS)微粒诱导脱附稳定的分子离子半导体分析,表面分析,质谱成像分析[33]快原子轰击(fast atom bombardment, FAB)微粒诱导脱附稳定的分子离子软电离,大分子[34]基质辅助激光脱附电离(matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization, MALDI)光子诱导脱附稳定的分子离子软电离,大分子[35]第 1 期陈银娟,等:质谱在金属有机框架材料结构与应用表征上的研究进展85依据化合物谱库实现样品定性分析.1.5 ICPICP产生的是原子离子,用于对化合物组成的元素进行定性定量分析. 如图2所示,ICP的基本过程如下:蠕动泵载带样品溶液经过雾化器(nebulizer)形成气溶胶并到达雾化室(spray chamber),后经载气(carrier gas)携带进入ICP炬管. ICP炬管通常是由三层同心圆的石英管组成,炬管顶端盘绕着与射频电源相连的感应线圈(RF load coil). 载气、辅助气(auxiliary gas)和等离子气(plasma gas)通常均为氩气,分别从炬管的内层、中层和外层流入. 高压电火花产生的电子与外层氩气碰撞,诱导其电离产生等离子体. 等离子体在振荡磁场作用下与氩原子碰撞释放欧姆热,致使等离子火焰温度可高达10 000 K. 样品溶液在高温作用下,发生去溶剂化、原子化并电离成原子离子,用质谱检测产生的离子,即为电感耦合等离子体质谱(inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, ICP-MS)[51-52]. ICP也存在原子跃迁激发再回到基态的过程,该过程以光子形式进行能量释放,用光谱仪检测光信号,即为电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱法(inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, ICP-OES). 与ICP-OES 相比,ICP-MS具有灵敏度高、多元素检测和高通量的特点,常用于MOFs材料中元素的精准定量.1.6 MOFs样品离子化质谱检测的是离子,因此用质谱分析MOFs,样品须先进行离子化. Vikse等[53]将ESI-MS表征均相催化剂的电离方式分为三类:inherently-charged system,adventitiously-charged system以及intention-ally-charged system. 第一类,化合物本身带电,可用ESI-MS直接分析. 第二类,化合物是中性分子,在ESI电离过程中丢失负离子(如I−, Cl−)或者结合氢质子/碱金属离子发生离子化. 第三类,通过在化合物上引入酸/碱基团诱导化合物发生电离,同时保持化合物的立体效应和电子效应. 尽管离子化方式很多,但由于各类化合物状态、性质等差异性,还没有通用的离子源可以有效电离所有样品. 因此,在用质谱表征MOFs时,应根据化合物的类型、性质及常见商业离子源的特征合理选择离子化方式. 此外,由于MOFs配体种类及金属中心多种价态的复杂性,在分析质谱结果时,除查找常见的加H+或者加Na+质谱峰外,还应考虑其他的离子类型. 表2列举了用ESI、APCI、MALDI及EI电离MOFs时的样品要求及可能产生的离子类型.2 MOFs材料的质谱表征质谱表征的是离子的质荷比(m/z),高分辨质谱和串级质谱分析(tandem mass spectrometric analysis)(a) (c)(b)(d)magnetmagnettrap electronbeamsampleinletvaporizerrepellerfilamentto analyzerionsgas flownebulizer gasLCeffluentheatervaporsolvent,samplechemicalionizationsolvent ionssample ionsMScorona discharge needlemake-up gastylor coneliquid flowlaser pulse50 μm crystal surfacehigh voltagenozzle图1 (a)ESI [36]、(b)APCI [37]、(c)MALDI [36]和(d)EI [36]电离示意图Fig. 1 Schematics of (a) ESI [36], (b) APCI [37], (c) MALDI [36] and (d) EI[36]86分析测试技术与仪器第 29 卷不仅可以确定样品化学组成,而且可以提供样品结构信息. ESI 和APCI 作为LC-MS 的常见接口,可有效监测溶液中MOFs 催化反应等过程. 近年来,在线质谱分析技术的发展,能实时检测反应中间体或产物,对设计高效的MOFs 基催化剂、研究化学反应机理等起到了巨大的推动作用.2.1 精准分子量定性分子量是化合物的基本属性,根据高分辨质谱精准质荷比和同位素峰型,能对MOFs 进行定性分析. 氨基硫脲衍生物相关的金属配合物具有抗菌、抗肿瘤等药理性质,Ülküseven 等[8]合成了以Ni 、Ru 为金属中心,氨基硫脲衍生物为配体的配合物,并用APCI-MS 、NMR 和XRD 等对合成产物进行了表征. Touj 等[9, 56]利用ESI-MS 等表征合成的铜基N -杂环卡宾催化剂,并用于催化合成1, 2, 3-三氮唑. Liu 等[43]采用ESI-MS 等方法表征合成出的一系列含疏水配体的Ru-bda (bda = 2, 2 ' -bipyridine-6, 6 ' -dicarboxylate )类催化剂,以研究催化剂外层的疏水作用对水的催化氧化的影响. 使用ESI-MS 监测同类催化剂在加入硝酸铈铵(Ce IV)后,观测到催化剂金属中心从Ru II氧化到Ru III的中间体质谱峰,证明引入外层疏水基团是一种调节质子-耦合电子转移反应(proton-coupled electron transfer )的有效策略[12].该课题组还用ESI-MS 成功捕捉到Ru-bda 在水氧化表 2 常见离子源电离MOFs 样品要求及产生的正离子类型Table 2 Requirements of MOFs analyzed with several commercial ion sources and the common produced positive ions 离子源MOFs 样品正离子类型ESI化合物本身带电或者有极性分子或者极性配体.H 2O ,ACN (ACN=CH 3CN),CH 3OH 等ESI 常见溶剂.M +, M 2+ [53](本身带电),[M]+ [12, 54](丢失电子,氧化),[M+H]+ [12, 43, 55],[M+A]+ (A=Na +, K +……)[43],[M-X]+ [A=Cl −, I −, Br −, OTf −(trifluoromethanesulfonate)……] [9, 56-58],[M+S+H]+ (S=solvent molecule) [12],[M-L+H]+(L=Ligand)(丢失中性配体)……APCI 非极性或者弱极性.

Containing Pyridine RingRuifei Su,Hongyu Wei,Xin Zhang,Sufang Ma,Jing Yan,Yuan Cui,and Zhao Zhang* College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering,Shanxi University,Taiyuan030006,Shanxi,China*E-mail:z.zhang@Additional Supporting Information may be found in the online version of this article.Received October29,2011DOI10.1002/jhet.1639Published online2December2013in Wiley Online Library().A series of novel monodisperse,well-defined molecules with a pyridine core and carbazole arms weresynthesized by simple procedures with Iodo-reaction and Ullmann reaction.Their structures were confirmed byIR,1H NMR,13C NMR,and elementary analysis.Moreover,thefluorescence spectra showed that thesecompounds exhibited strongfluorescence with the maximum wavelengths ranging from373to385nm.J.Heterocyclic Chem.,51,669(2014).INTRODUCTIONRecently,monodisperse,well-defined,p-conjugated molecules have attracted much attention in materials science[1]because of their potential applications in organic light-emitting diodes,solar cells,field-effect transistors,and so on[2–4].The conjugated systems,firstly, may become possible alternatives to linear-conjugated oligomers in optoelectronic applications.[5]Secondly,the communication between the conjugated arms and core may result in some unique functionality[6].Traditionally,pyridine is a prototypical molecule and is widely used as a chromophore in varieties of materials science applications owing to its desirable photophysical properties,thermal stability,and chemical stability[7]. The research on the pyridine moieties in materials applica-tion mainly concentrates on electrophosphorescent metal complexes because of their enhanced absolute photolumi-nescence quantum yields[8].Compared with benzene, carbazole andfluorine,which are important building blocks and intermediates in materials chemistry[9,14,15], pyridine is an electron-deficient aromatic heterocycle,with a localized lone pair of electrons in a sp2orbital on the nitrogen atom[10].Consequently,compounds containing pyridine moiety display electron-transporting abilities and can undergo modification of their optical properties[11]. It has also been shown that a conjugated molecule containing pyridine in the main chain exhibits potential applications in optoelectronics and photonics[12].One of the strategies for optimizing their properties and increasing their stability involves the insertion offive-membered heteroaromatics into the p-conjugated backbone[13]. Additionally,carbazole is a common heterocyclic compound with interesting photochemistry and electro-chemistry;it can be functionalized at3-position,6-position, or9-position readily and linked to other molecular moieties covalently.Thus,the design and synthesis of carbazole-based molecules are also attractive[14].Carbazole deriva-tives are widely used as building blocks for potential organic semiconductors and organic light-emitting diodes[15]. Despite the huge amount of work already invested in these various applications,it is clear that further progress in thesefields requires an intensification of the research effort focused on the design and synthesis of new compounds with electrochemical,optical,and electronic properties specifically tailored for each type of application.In this article,a series of star-shaped,well-defined, p-conjugated molecules were designed and synthesizedwith pyridine as the central blocks and carbazole as the outer blocks.The formation of C-N bond would be bene ficial to the molecular electronic transition among carbazole units [14a].The UV –vis absorption spectra and luminescent spectra were determined;moreover,the in fluences of absorption and fluorescence performance in different solvent were studied.It was found that these carbazole derivatives showed strong fluorescence emission.RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONThe synthetic routes of the five carbazole derivatives are shown in Scheme 1.The 2,6-bis(carbazolyl)pyridine (1a )was synthesized from carbazole as starting material through a modi fied Ullmann pounds 2a ,3a ,4a ,and 5a were synthesized,and the molar ratios of 1a /KI/KIO 3were 1:1.1:1.1,1:2.1:2.1,1:3.1:3.1,and 1:4.1:4.1,respectively.After iodination of 1a ,the intermediates with different numbers of iodine substituents were directly reacted with carbazole.Puri fication by column chromatography afforded pure 2,6-bis(carbazolyl)pyridine derivatives with different numbers of carbazole units.All carbazole-based compounds were obtained as white powders.The compounds were characterized with IR,1H NMR,13C NMR,and elemental analysis.The objective compounds have good solubilityin common solvents,such as THF,dichloromethane,chloro-form,toluene,and ethyl acetate.The UV –vis absorption and photoluminescence spectra of all carbazole-based compounds in CH 2Cl 2solution were measured and shown in Table 1.The UV –vis absorption spectra of the objective compounds were shown in Figure 1.All the compounds exhibited intense transitions in the UV region from 241to 342nm.For instance,a broad absorption band was observed at about 341nm for each compound,which indicated the p !p *electron transfer of the entire conjugated backbone,and other broad bands in the range of 240–300nm were derived from the carbazoleScheme 1.Reagents and conditions:(i)carbazole,K 2CO 3,KOH,Cu,DMF,152

because of the large torsion angle between the carbazoles[16].The UV–vis absorption of the compound1a in different organic solvents was shown in Figure2.Most electronic transitions in these compounds are the transfer of p!p* bonds.The energy necessary for electron transfer is decreasing with increasing the solvent polarity,and the significant red shift(from236nm in cyclohexane to 249nm in THF)of the absorption band was observed as the solvent polarity increased.The photoluminescence spectra of the target compounds were shown in Figure3.All com-pounds were found to give strongfluorescent peaks,and it was also observed that the wavelengths of emission spectrum increased as the number of carbazole moieties increased.It was clear that the conjugated degree of the objective compounds would be enlarged with the increase of carbazole moieties[17].Take compound1a for instance,as shown in Figure4,thefluorescence spectrum of compound1a followed general solvent effects.Therefore,the significant red shift of the emission band was observed from338nm in cyclohexane to373nm in dichloromethane with in-creasing the dielectric constant of the paring the spectra of1,4-bis(carbazolyl)benzene,3,6-bis(carbazolyl) carbazole,and3,6-bis(carbazolyl)fluorene with the spectra of2,6-bis(carbazolyl)pyridine(1a),it indicated that repla-cing the benzene,fluorene,or carbazole group with pyridine group led to a significant red shift in both absorption and emission spectra[16a,18].Therefore,it was clear that a compound that contains a pyridine ring could improve its optical properties.In conclusion,we had developed a series of novel com-pounds with pyridine as the central unit and the carbazole as substituents at the3-position and/or6-position of the carbazole group.The key to the synthesis ofintermediate Figure1.UV–vis absorption spectra of1a,2b,3b,4b,and5b in CH2Cl2with the concentration of1Â10À5M.[Colorfigure can be viewed in theonline

iodate.At atmospheric pressure,the Ullmanncoupling reaction took place using Cu,KOH,and K2CO3as catalysts without the protection of N2in DMF.It was observed that thefive compounds showed strongfluores-cence emission.Therefore,these carbazole derivatives hadthe potential to be applied in developing optoelectronic devices.Further studies including the potential applicationsof these carbazole derivatives using other methods are inprogress in our laboratory.EXPERIMENTALGeneral experimental procedures.All chemicals were purchased from Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Beijing Co.,Ltd (Beijing,China)and used without further purification.1H NMR and13C NMR spectra were recorded on a Brucker DRX300MHz spectrometer(Bruker Co.,Germany)at room temperature.IR spectra were recorded on a Shimadzu8400-S(wave numbers in cmÀ1)(Shimadzu Co.,Japan).UV–vis andfluorescence spectra were recorded on an Agilent Tichnologies HP8543 spectrophotometer(Agilent Technologies Co.,California,USA) and a Perkin-Elmer LS55Bluminescence spectrometer(Perkin Elmer lnc.,Massachusetts,USA),respectively.The elemental analyses were performed using a VARIO EL III elemental analysis system(Elementar

Synthesis and characterization ofmetal complexesIntroductionMetal complexes have been actively studied due to their potential applications in various fields such as catalysts, materials, and medicine. The synthesis and characterization of metal complexes are fundamental steps towards understanding their properties and behaviors. In this article, we will discuss some of the methods and techniques used for synthesizing and characterizing metal complexes, as well as their applications.Synthesis of metal complexesThe synthesis of metal complexes can be achieved through various methods such as salt metathesis, ligand exchange, and coordination polymerization. Salt metathesis involves replacing one metal ion in a salt with another metal ion. Ligand exchange involves replacing one ligand in a metal complex with another ligand. Coordination polymerization involves the combination of metal ions and organic ligands to form a three-dimensional network structure.One example of a metal complex synthesis method is ligand exchange. In this method, a metal complex with a specific ligand is reacted with a new ligand to form a different metal complex. For example, the reaction between copper(II) sulfate and sodium acetate results in the formation of copper(II) acetate.CuSO4 + 2NaOAc → Cu(OAc)2 + Na2SO4Another example is coordination polymerization. In this method, metal ions and organic ligands are combined in a solution to form a solid network structure. For example, the reaction between zinc(II) nitrate and 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid results in the formation of a porous coordination polymer called MOF-5.Zn(NO3)2 + H2bdc → Zn4O(H2bdc)3 + 2HNO3Characterization of metal complexesCharacterization of metal complexes is important in understanding their physical and chemical properties. Techniques such as X-ray crystallography, infrared spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy can be used to identify the structure and composition of metal complexes.X-ray crystallography involves the analysis of crystals using X-rays to determine the positions of atoms in a molecule. It provides information on the three-dimensional structure of a metal complex. Infrared spectroscopy involves the measurement of the energy absorbed by a molecule due to vibrations of its chemical bonds. It provides information on the functional groups present in a metal complex. NMR spectroscopy involves the measurement of the absorption of energy by nuclei in an external magnetic field. It provides information on the electronic environment surrounding metal ions in a complex.Applications of metal complexesMetal complexes have a wide range of applications in various fields. They can act as catalysts in chemical reactions, for example, the use of palladium complexes as catalysts in Suzuki coupling reactions. They can also be used as materials in the form of coordination polymers for gas storage or catalysis. In medicine, metal complexes can be used as contrast agents in imaging techniques or as anticancer drugs.ConclusionIn summary, the synthesis and characterization of metal complexes are important for understanding their properties and behavior. Various methods and techniques can be used for synthesizing and characterizing metal complexes. Applications for metal complexes are diverse and extend to fields such as catalysis, materials, and medicine. With continued research and development, metal complexes are expected to play an increasingly important role in these fields.。
Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Thermoplastic Polyester Containing Blocks of Poly[(R)-3-hydroxyoctanoate]andPoly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate]Austin P.Andrade,Bernard Witholt,Dongliang Chang,and Zhi Li*Institute of Biotechnology,ETH-Zu¨rich,Ho¨nggerberg,CH-8093Zu¨rich,SwitzerlandReceived August8,2003;Revised Manuscript Received October17,2003ABSTRACT:Novel block copolyester containing biocompatible and biodegradable biopolyester blocks was prepared by polycondensation of telechelic hydroxylated poly[(R)-3-hydroxyoctanoate](PHO-diol)and telechelic hydroxylated poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate](PHB-diol)with terephthaloyl chloride(TeCl).Reaction of PHO-diol(M p of2100),PHB-diol(M p of3200),and TeCl at a ratio of1.3:1:2.1gave the block co-polyester PHOHBTe in86%yield with a molecular weight M p of7200(GPC).The chemical structure of the copolyester was confirmed by1H-,13C-,and COSY-NMR and IR spectra.On average,2PHO-diol,1PHB-diol,and2TeCl were incorporated in each molecule of the block copolyester PHOHBTe.For comparison, polyester PHOTe with a M p of7100(GPC)was prepared in81%yield by reaction of PHO-diol and terephthaloyl chloride at a molar ratio of1:1.2.NMR analysis suggested that PHOTe contains3PHO and3Te units on average.While PHOTe containing no PHB block is soft-sticky,PHOHBTe containing both soft PHO and hard PHB blocks showed good thermoplastic properties with T m of129and140°C and a T g of-41°C.Thus,for the first time,block copolyester containing PHO and PHB blocks has been prepared and demonstrated to be thermoplastic.IntroductionThe microbial poly[(R)-3-hydroxyalkanoates](PHAs) are potentially very useful materials due to their biodegradability and biocompatibility.Their thermal properties are,however,rather poor:poly[(R)-3-hy-droxybutyrate](PHB)is crystalline-brittle with a melt-ing temperature(T m)of175°C and a glass transition temperature(T g)of0-4°C;1-4mcl-PHAs(which contain medium chain length alkanoate monomers)are weakly crystalline and soft-sticky with T m between39and61°C and T g between-25and-44°C.5-10A way to improve the thermoplastic properties of PHAs is to make a copolyester.Biosyntheses of random copolyes-ters such as poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-(R)-3-hy-droxyvalerate],P(3HB-co-3HV),2,11-13and poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-(R)-3-hydroxyalkanoate],P(3HB-co-3HA),14-17are known.Among them,P(94%3HB-co-6%3HA)consisting of94%monomers of(R)-3-hydroxy-butyrate(3HB)and6%monomers of(R)-3-hydroxy-alkanoates(3HA)containing6-12carbon atoms showed interesting thermoplastic properties with a T g of-8°C and T m of133and146°C.16We are interested in chemical preparation of block copolyesters from PHAs for desired thermal and me-chanical properties.Recently,we transformed mcl-PHAs into enantiomerically pure telechelic hydroxylated mcl-PHAs(mcl-PHA-diols)with low molecular weight,low T m,and low T g.18The easily available telechelic hy-droxylated poly[(R)-3-hydroxyoctanoate](PHO-diol)was demonstrated to be an excellent soft segment for co-polymerization.19On the other hand,telechelic hydrox-ylated poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate](PHB-diol)20was shown to be a useful hard segment.21,19Thus,it might be possible to prepare block copolyesters with good thermoplastic properties by incorporating the soft PHO-diol and the hard PHB-diol into the polymer.Moreover,the polymer properties might be designed and then achieved by changing the ratio of the soft and hard segments.Here,we report the first synthesis of block co-polyesters containing PHO and PHB blocks by po-lymerization of the soft segment PHO-diol and the hard segment PHB-diol with terephthaloyl chloride,the analysis of the polymer structures,and the character-ization of the physical properties.Experimental SectionMaterials.Telechelic hydroxylated poly[(R)-3-hydroxyoc-tanoate]containing C8and C6monomers in a ratio of90:10 [PHO-diol,M n)2400(VPO),M p)2100(GPC)]18and telechelic hydroxylated poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate][PHB-diol, M n)2600(VPO),M p)3200(GPC)]20were prepared according to the published procedures and predried by azeotropic distil-lation with1,2-dichloroethane.All reagents and solvents were purchased from Fluka with p.a.quality:terephthaloyl chloride was dried under high vacuum at room temperature for2days before use;pyridine,toluene,and chloroform were dried with activated molecular sieve A4(pore size4Å).Synthesis of Block Copolyester PHOHBTe.Toluene(40 mL)and pyridine(20mL)were added to a mixture of telechelic hydroxylated poly[(R)-3-hydroxyoctanoate](PHO-diol)(1.205 g,0.502mmol,M n)2400,M p)2100),telechelic hydroxylated poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate](PHB-diol)(1.01g,0.388mmol, M n)2600,M p)3200),and terephthaloyl chloride(0.164g, 0.808mmol)in a250mL flask under a nitrogen atmosphere. The stirred mixture was heated progressively to80°C to dissolve the reactants and then to105°C for polycondensation. The reaction was stopped after12h by cooling,and the solvent was evaporated.The product was treated four times with chloroform/water1:4(v/v),and the organic phase was separ-ated and then washed vigorously three times with aqueous HCl(0.1M)to remove pyridine and the possible unreacted terephthaloyl chloride.The collected organic phase was dried over Na2SO4and filtered,and the solvent was evaporated. Drying under high vacuum at80°C gave2.01g(86%)of the block copolyester PHOHBT with an M p of7200(measured by GPC).*Corresponding author:Tel+4116333811;Fax+4116331051;e-mail

procedure described for PHOHBTe,reaction of PHO-diol (1.023g,0.426mmol,M n )2400,M p )2100)and terephthaloyl chloride (0.102g,0.502mmol)in a mixture of toluene (40mL),chloroform (5.0mL),and pyridine (5.0mL)at 105°C for 30h afforded 0.90g (81%)of PHOTe with an M p of 7100(measured by GPC).Characterization Techniques.1H and 13C NMR spectra were measured on a Bruker DRX-300(300MHz)at 293K in CDCl 3.COSY (1H,13C)and COSY (1H,1H)were measured on a Bruker DRX-400(400MHz)at 300K in CDCl 3.Chemical shifts are given in ppm relative to tetramethylsilane.IR spectra (film)were recorded on a Bruker Vector 22spectrom-eter at room temperature.The molecular weight distribution was determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC)in THF at room temperature with a Knauer chromatograph equipped with a differential refractive index detector with two PLGel mixed 5µm columns (7.5mm ×600mm)at 85bar and at 45°C.M p was estimated from the retention volume based on polystyrene standards.T m and T g were obtained by dif-ferential scanning calorimetry (DSC)with a Mettler-DSC 30instrument equipped with Me-70329cooler and a Tc15/TA controller.The samples in a 40µL aluminum carrier were heated in the first scan from -100to 200°C with a heating rate of 10°C/min,cooled from 200to -100°C at a cooling rate of -10°C/min,and then heated for the second scan.Results and DiscussionPoly[(R )-3-hydroxyoctanoate](PHO)is the most promi-nent representative of mcl-PHAs,and it can be produced in large amounts.Transesterification of PHO with ethylene glycol afforded enantiopure telechelic PHO-diol with a M n of 2400(VPO),a M p of 2100(GPC),and a T g of -56°C in excellent yield.18This readily available compound was selected as the soft segment for the preparation of block copolyesters.On the other hand,telechelic diol prepared from poly[(R )-3-hydroxybu-tyrate](PHB-diol)20with a T m of 149°C,a M n of 2600(VPO),and a M p of 3200(GPC)was chosen as the hard segment.Terephthaloyl chloride (TeCl)was used as junction unit.In principle,the ratio of the soft segment,hard segment,and the junction unit can be controlled to prepare the block co-polyesters with desired proper-ties.To demonstrate the concept,PHO-diol,PHB-diol,and TeCl were used in a molar ratio of 1.3:1:2.1to prepare the co-polyester PHOHBTe (Scheme 1).For a comparison,interchange polyester PHOTe containing no PHB block was also synthesized from PHO-diol and TeCl in a molar ratio of 1:1.2.New polyesters were formed by the reaction between the COCl groups of TeCl and the OH groups of the telechelic diols.Since water can stop the polymerization by reacting with TeCl to give the corresponding acid,the reaction was carried out under anhydrous conditions and under a nitrogen atmosphere.PHO-diol and PHB-diol were at first dried by azeotropic distillation with 1,2-dichloroethane and then reacted with TeCl in a mixture of toluene and pyridine at 105°C for 12h.The solvent was removed by evaporation,the residue was treated with water to destroy the possible unreacted TeCl,and the product was extracted into CHCl 3.Sub-sequent treatment of organic phase with 0.1M HCl removed the trace amount of pyridine.Drying under high vacuum at 80°C afforded the block copolyester PHOHBTe in 86%yield.A molecular weight M p of 7200was established by gel permeation chromatography (GPC),shown in Figure 1.Similarly,PHOTe containing only the soft PHO block was prepared in 81%yield by reaction of PHO-diol with TeCl in a molar ratio of 1:1.2at 105°C for 30h.The resulting material has a M p of 7100(GPC),which is similar to that of PHOHBTe (Figure 1).In the IR spectra of PHOBOTe,the two absorption bands of the OH groups of the starting materials PHO-diol and PHB-diol at 3530-3350cm -1decreased sig-nificantly,indicating the successful polymerization.The ester functions were confirmed by the strong absorption at 1735cm -1.Scheme1Macromolecules,Vol.36,No.26,2003Novel Thermoplastic Polyesters 9831The structure of PHOHBTe was confirmed by NMR analyses.The 1H-and COSY (1H,13C)-NMR spectra are given in Figures 2and 3,respectively.On the basis of the COSY (1H,1H)-and COSY (1H,13C)-NMR spectra and comparison with the 1H-NMR spectrum of PHO-diol,the chemical shifts of all protons of PHOHBTe were assigned as shown in Figure 2.The assignment of the13Cchemical shifts is also possible,and the result is summarized in Table 1.Although the PHO block contains C8and C6monomer in a ratio of 90:10,there was no significant difference between the C8and C6monomers in the 1H-NMR spectrum,and the C6mono-mers gave only several additional weak signals in the 13C-NMR spectrum.For simplicity,only theassignmentFigure 1.GPC chromatograms of the block copolyester PHOHBTe,the interchange polyester PHOTe,the hard segment PHB-diol,and the soft segmentPHO-diol.Figure 2.1H-NMR spectrum (300MHz)of the block copolyester PHOHBTe at 293K in CDCl 3.*-OCH 2CH 2O -of bis substituted ethylene glycol in PHO-diol block.9832Andrade et al.Macromolecules,Vol.36,No.26,2003for the C8monomer of the PHO block was given in this work.PHO-diol with M n of 2400contains 16.8HO monomer units (m )on average,while PHB-diol with M n of 2600has the average number of HB monomer units (n )of 29.5.In the 1H-NMR spectrum of PHOHBTe,the intensity of methyl group proton a of the PHO block is 15.05;thus,the intensity of proton i ,o ,and g of the same block should be 15.05×2/3)10.03.While the totalintegration of proton i ,o ,g and t is 19.80,the intensity of proton t from the PHB block should be 19.80-10.03)9.77.The ratio of the PHO and PHB block in PHOHBTe can be therefore deduced as about 2:1(10.03/16.8:9.77/29.5).The aromatic proton u and v of the Te part had an integration of 1.07,which suggested that the ratio of Te junction unit and PHO block is about 1:1(1.07/4:15.05/3/16.8).Although M n of PHOHBTe was not determined,the M p value of 7200for PHOHB suggests that on average it contains 2PHO (M p of 2100)blocks,1PHB (M p of 3200)block,and 2Te junction units.The major terminating groups are the primary and secondary alcohols,which is confirmed by the signals of proton f ,g and p ,q .Similarly,the structure of PHOTe was also confirmed by 1H,13C,COSY (1H,1H),and COSY (1H,13C)-NMR spectra.The chemical shift assignments for the 1H-NMR spectrum are given in

basis of M p of 7100for PHOTe,it can be concluded that on average 3PHO (M p of 2100)blocks and 3Te junction units are incorporated in the interchange polyester PHOTe.The physical properties of the new polymers were characterized by DSC and are listed in Table 2.The interchange polyester PHOTe with only the soft PHO as polyester backbone linked with an aromatic junction unit did not result in a hard polymer:the new polymer is soft-sticky with no T m and a T g of -36°C.On the other hand,the co-polyester PHOHBTe containing PHB and PHO-blocks as hard and soft segments,respectively,showed good thermoplastic properties with a T g of -41°C and T m of 128and 140°C (Figure 5).This T g is probably for the PHO segment,and the T g value of PHB segment was not observed.A second heating for DSC measurement revealed a T c of 60°C.Although the molecular weight is not very high,PHOHBTe represents the first example of block copolyester containing the soft PHO and hard PHB paring with the random copolyester P(3HB-co -3HA)consisting of 94mol %HB and 6mol %HA,16PHOHBTe has similar T m but much lower T g .The molecular weight of the block polymer-could be in principle further increased,for instance,by performing the reaction under argon atmospheres and/or by using other junction units.The existence of the PHB block in such copolyesters is proven to be essential for increasing the melting and mechanic properties.The physical properties of new block copolyester could be designed and achieved by changing the ratio of PHO and PHB blocks.ConclusionsFor the first time,co-polyesters containing biodegrad-able and biocompatible PHO and PHB blocks have been synthesized by use of PHO-diol and PHB-diol as soft and hard segments,respectively.The model polymer PHOHBTe shows good thermoplastic properties,and the physical properties of the block copolyester can be further optimized by incorporation of the PHO and PHB blocks in an appropriate ratio.Acknowledgment.We thank

extensively investigated because of their unique optical,electrical and magnetic properties [1–5].Moreover,magnetic iron oxide colloids have been successfully used as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)contrast agents and for cancer hyperthermia therapy [6–9].The shape,size and size distribution of the magnetic materials are the key factors in determining their chemical and physical properties.Thus,the development of size and shape-controlled magnetic materials is crucial for their application [3,9].So far,the most widely used and studied magnetic material is iron oxide,in the form of magnetite (Fe 3O 4)and maghemite (g -Fe 2O 3).Elemental iron has a signi ficantly higher magnetic moment than its oxides.Moreover,elemental iron is the most useful among the ferromagnetic elements;it has the highest magnetic moment at room temperature (218emu g À1in bulk),and a Curie temperature which is high enough for the majority of practical applications.However,obtaining Fe nanoparticles,relatively free of oxide (usually Fe 3O 4),is still a challenge,to a large extent,not overcome [10–13].Besides the properties of the metallic core,the coating of the nanoparticles could determinate or improve the uses of this kind of materials.For example,functionalized magnetic nanoparticles have been employed for site-speci fic drug delivery [14]or treatment waterwaste [15,16].The variety of potential coating materials is continuously increasing with the development of new polymeric materials.However,polyethylene glycol (PEG)could be considered one of the most suitable polymer coatings for nanoparticles designed to be used in biomedicine.PEG is a water-soluble polymer with a low toxicity and antibiofouling properties that make it an appropriate candidate for several bioscience related applications [17,18].PEG chains attached to a nanoparticle surface exhibit a rapid chain motion,this could contribute to the good physiological properties of the PEGylated nanoparticles [19]for imagining and therapy application.Also,successful studies haven been devoted to PEG-PLA coated nano-particles for drug delivery [20,21].PEG grafted onto the surface of nanoparticles provides steric stabilization that competes with the destabilizing effects of Van der Waals and magnetic attraction energies.Thus,there is a growing demand for improved methods for the synthesis and characterization of polyethylene glycol (PEG)derivatives [22–25].Especially,polyethylene glycols (PEGs)of long polymeric chains have found signi ficant applications in the structure stabilization [26–28].Finally,the polymeric coatings of the nanoparticles could be conjugated with antibodies or fluorescent dyes adding different*Corresponding author.E-mail

system[29–31].That is,fluorescent-magnetic nanoparticles could be designed as an all-in-one diagnostic and therapeutic tool,able to visualize and simultaneously treat various diseases.Fluorescence imaging is one of the most powerful techniques for monitoring biomolecules in living pared with fluorescent imaging in the visible region,biological imaging in red and near-infrared(NIR)region is favourable due to its minimum photodamage,deep tissue penetration,and minimum background autofluorescence caused by biomolecules in living systems. Therefore,chromophores with emission in red or near-infrared region have been paid increasing attention in recent years[32,33].However,there is a specific difficulty in the preparation of fluorescent magnetic nanoparticles due to the risk of quenching of thefluorophore on the particle surface by the magnetic core.This problem could be solved by coating the magnetic core with a stable isolating shell prior to the introduction of thefluorescent molecule or by attaching an appropriate spacer to thefluorophore.Most fluorescent magnetic nanoparticles thus have a core-shell struc-ture.Several studies have been devoted to develop iron oxide nanoparticles conjugated withfluorescent dyes,in order to obtain dual-responsive nanoparticles,with magnetic andfluorescent response[31].Often,the methods are time consuming due to the many synthetic steps or the fact that gold or silica precoating is required to protect the iron oxide nanoparticles previous to their functionalization[34–36].Also,there is a significant lack on studies about iron nanoparticles functionalized withfluorophores [37].The aim of this work is to synthesize iron nanoparticles coated with a PEG-derivative and functionalized with afluorescent dye.The iron core of the nanoparticles will provide higher magnetization saturation than iron oxides,the PEG not only protects the metallic core but also adds interesting properties to biologically related applications.The selectedfluorescent dye, imaging in red and near-infrared,is highly adequate for an application in medicine owing to its low photodamage.So,the obtained nanoparticles could be highly promising materials for combined MR/Optical imaging applications.2.Materials and methods2.1.ChemicalsAll chemicals were reagent grade and used without purification. Ferrous chloride tetrahydrate(FeCl2Á4H2O),sodium borohydride (NaBH4)and cyclohexan solvent were purchased from Sigma–Aldrich.Methanol and chloroform were purchased from Panreac and Lab-Scan,respectively.Polyethylene glycol(PEG)of1000g molÀ1molecular weight and methoxy polyethylene glycol(mPEG) of2000g molÀ1molecular weight were obtained from Sigma–Aldrich.Deionized Millipore Milli-Q water was used in all experiments.Alexa Fluor1660Protein Labeling Kit was purchased from Invitrogen.2.2.Synthesis of iron nanoparticlesThe preparation of PEG-stabilized nanoscale zero-valent iron nanoparticles was carried out via a controlled microemulsion method.The microemulsion synthetic methodology makes use of a biphasic heterogeneous solution of water-in-oil in which iron precursors are stirred.Water droplets are used as nucleation sites for the formation of nanoparticles,often in the presence of surfactant molecules dispersed in the oil,essentially forming micelles.The reactions were carried out at room temperature using a single micellar system(sample FePEG-04)and two micellar systems(sample FePEG-02).The procedure followed in thefirstcase is described here.A surfactant solution prepared by dissolving31.5g of polyeth-ylene glycol in105mL of cyclohexane was maintained understirring and degassed for10min under N2atmosphere.Next,6mLof0.33M FeCl2Á4H2O were added to the surfactant solution,stirred and degassed for10min.Metal particles were formed inside thereverse micelles via reduction of the metal salt using an excess ofNaBH4(6mL, 1.76M).After a few minutes,the reaction wasquenched by adding50mL of chloroform and50mL of methanol.The black precipitate was recovered with a permanent magnet,washed several times with methanol and dried under vacuum.The same procedure was carried out in the synthesis performedby two micellar systems with the only difference that the reducingagent(NaBH4),was added in aqueous solution instead of in solidform.This solution,when added toflask reaction,will result thesecond micellar system.Definitely,the method involves mixingtwo microemulsions:one containing the metal salt and the otherthe reducing agent;due to collision and coalescence of the dropletsthe reactants are brought into contact and react to form thenanoparticles.Polyethylene glycol methyl ether(mPEG)shows greaterversatility in functionalization,which increases the potentialapplications of nanoparticles.Specifically,this will be thederivative chosen to functionalize nanoparticles.The syntheseswith this surfactant were carried out at room temperature using asingle-micellar system,0.40g of iron salt,0.20g of the reducingagent,105cm3of cyclohexane and6.0g of water.The concentrationof surfactant in this system was0.095M.2.3.Functionalization of nanoparticles and labelling withfluorescentdyeThe incorporation of thefluorescent molecule to the nano-particles consists of several steps.Firstly,functionalized nano-particles are synthesized and then thefluorophore is anchored.After that the labelled nanoparticles must be purified to take outthe excess dye by size-exclusion chromatography.2.3.1.Modification of mPEGPolyethylene glycol methyl ether(mPEG)of molecular weight2000g molÀ1wasfirstly treated to obtain the aldehyde-derivativeby oxidation of the hydroxyl end groups by dimethylsulfoxide(DMSO)and acetic anhydride at room temperature.Then them-PEG-amine was obtained by the method described by Harriset al.[38],via reduction of the aldehyde groups using sodiumcyanoborohydride in methanol at room temperature.2.3.2.Synthesis of nanoparticles with mPEG-NH2and PEGThe synthesis of nanoparticles was performed by the methodpreviously described for one micellar system.Owing to the smallamount of materialfluorescent necessary,the appropriate amountof mPEG-NH2was used,and the rest was PEG surfactant,as alreadyshown,to provide adequate protection to the nanoparticles.The surfactant consisted of a mixture of7.5g of PEG and217mgof mPEG-NH2,amounts required to have a total surfactantconcentration of0.30M.belling of nanoparticlesThe interaction of metal nanoparticles withfluorophores nearits surface affects the intensity of their emission being critical thedistance between thefluorophore and the surface of thenanoparticle so that thefluorescence is quenched when thedistance is too short.For this study Alexa Fluor660was used.Thisis a succinimidyl ester of Alexa Fluor which exhibits bright fluorescence and high photostability characteristics allowing us to2N.Pérez et al./Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology A:Chemistry315(2016)1–7capture images that were previously unattainable with conven-tional fluorophores.Moreover it provides an ef ficient and convenient way to selectively link to primary amines.On the other hand,its absorption and fluorescence bands are far from those of the nanoparticles,so that the spectral overlapping is negligible.The PEGylated nanoparticles were fluorescently labelled by reaction with Alexa Fluor 660carboxylic acid succinimidyl ester which formed a chemical bond with the NH 2group of mPEG-NH 2.For that,the procedure established by Invitrogen [39]was followed.Brie fly,a solution of sodium bicarbonate was added to the nanoparticles suspension in order to reach a pH between 7,5and 8,5since succinimidyl esters react ef ficiently at this pH range.The reactive dye was added to the solution and the reaction mixture was stirred for 1h at room temperature.Separation of the labelled nanoparticles from dye which has remained unreacted was carried out using a puri fication column containing the Bio-Rad BioGel P30resin.2.4.Characterization of nanoparticlesThe crystallite phase of the coated nanoparticles was identi fied by recording X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD)using a Bragg –Brentano u /2u Philips diffractometer.Size and shape of nanoparticles were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).Measurements were carried out using a Philips CM 200equipment operating at an accelerating voltage of 200KV.For this,a drop of dilute methanol solution of the nanoparticles was placed onto a copper grid coated with carbon film with a Formvar membrane and allowed to air dry before being inserted into the microscope.Magnetic properties were studied with a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM).57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy measurements were carried out at room temperature (RT)in transmission geometry using a conventional spectrometer with a 57Co-Rh source.Reported isomer shift (d )and internal magnetic hyper fine field (BHF)values are relative to metallic Fe at room temperature.The UV –vis absorption spectra were recorded on a Varian double beam spectrophotometer (Cary 4E)in transmittance mode,in the region of 200–900nm.The fluorescence spectra were performed on a SPEX fluorimeter (Fluorolog 3-22).The emission spectra were recorded in the 250–800nm range,by exciting at different wavelengths,depend-ing on the sample.Fluorescence single-particle measurements were performed in a time-resolved fluorescence confocal microscope (model MicroTime 200,PicoQuant).Fluorescence lifetime images (FLIM)are processed with ShymPhotime software (Picoquant)by sorting all photons of one pixel into a histogram and fitted to an exponential decay function to extract lifetime information;the procedure was repeated for every pixel in the image.A 640nm pulsed laser diode,with 70ps pulses was used as excitation source.Spectra were recorded by directing the emission beam to an exit port,where a spectrograph (model Shamrock 300mm)coupled to a CCD camera (Newton EMCCD 1600Â200,Andor)were mounted.3.Results and discussion3.1.Spectroscopic and crystallographic characterizationPolyethylene glycol and polyethylene glycol methyl ether coated iron nanoparticles were characterized by XRD measure-ments as shown in Fig.1.The spectrum of PEG coated samples obtained by one or two micellar systems (Fig.1a)shows three characteristic broad peaks at 2u =44.81 ,65.07 and 82.49 ,which correspond to the (110),(200),and (211)families of planes of the bcc lattice reported for the a -Fe phase.The dimension of the crystallites,D hkl ,was estimated by Scherrer equation in 27.8nm.The nanoparticles obtained with mPEG as surfactant present a diffractogram with a peak of high intensity at 2u =45 ,corre-sponding to the bcc lattice (Fig.1b).This kind of diffractogram is characteristic of samples with low crystallinity and very polydis-perse sizes.From TEM images and histograms (Fig.2),it can be concluded that each Fe/PEG unit consists in a spherical Fe core with an average size of 3.8nm and its own polymeric coating of about 6nm.According to XRD results,the FemPEG-01sample was very polydisperse and it was very dif ficult to obtain a mean diameter.In general,the size of the nanoparticles was between 10and 20nm.The values obtained are similar to those obtained when using nonylphenypentaethoxylated (NP5)[40]as surfactant whose value was around 10nm (Fe core 7.5nm and polymeric shell 2.8nm).PEG provides a thicker coating shell than NP5,probably due to the different molecular weight of both surfactants.3.2.Magnetic propertiesMagnetization vs applied field hysteresis loops were measured using VSM to assess the magnetic properties of the synthesized nanoparticles.The saturation magnetization values were normal-ized to the mass of nanoparticles to yield the speci fic magnetiza-tion,M s (emu g À1).Fig.1.X-ray diffractograms of the synthesized iron nanoparticles:(a)Polyethylenglycol coated samples and (b)polyethylene glycol methyl ether coated sample.N.Pérez et al./Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology A:Chemistry 315(2016)1–73Fig.3shows the magnetic hysteresis loops of the samples at room temperature.The saturation magnetization of FePEG nano-particles is shown in Table 1.The saturation magnetization arises from both the iron core (218emu g À1),and the iron oxide shell (for Fe 3O 480–92emu g À1),based on the relative weight percentage of iron,iron oxide and non-magnetic coatings on the particle surface.For particles having a similar shell thickness,the weight ratio of the iron core to the iron oxide shell is greater for large particles than for small particles.All the samples have coercitivity less than 15mT and a remanence less than 25A m 2kg À1.This suggested that the particles could aggregate after the removal of the external field due to the remaining magnetization.57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy measurements were carried out for the FePEG-04sample due to it has the best magneticpropertiesFig.2.Micrographs of (a)FePEG-02,(b)FePEG-04and

studied samples(Fig.4).The RT Mössbauer spectrum qualitatively consist in a sextet(62%of the total area),attributed to bcc Fe(BHF=32.89T and d=À0.106mm sÀ1)coupled to a doublet corresponding to Fe2+or Fe3+.The appearance of both signals would indicate the occurrence of an oxidation process leading to the formation of magnetite(Fe3O4).Any other ordered phase is not observed since more sextets were not found.The iron oxides present in these samples are not magnetically ordered due to the absence of further sextets.This was confirmed by the XPS(Apendix A,Fig.S5)where the peaks at710.30,718.98(small peak)and 723.32eV represent the binding energies of Fe(2p3/2)shake-up satellite2p3/2and2p1/2,respectively.In addition,a small shoulder at705,87eV suggest the peak of2p3/2of zero-valent iron[41].All the studied systems present a high reproducibility as could be confirm in the supporting information(Supporting information (Appendix A))in which the obtained X-ray difratograms and magnetization curves are shown.3.3.Fluorescent measurementsIn this section the photophysical study of the nanoparticlesconjugated with thefluorescent dye is described.Fig.5shows the height-normalized absorption spectrum of the Alexa Fluor1 660and the labelled sample.As can be seen,the absorption spectra are almost identical and show the principal absorption band centred at668nm,indicating the presence of the dye in the nanoparticles.Furthermore,a weak band in the UV region of the spectrum,around250nm,could include iron oxides such as hematite,magnetite or maghemite[42].Fig.6shows the height-normalizedfluorescence spectra of the fraction with the highest content of nanoparticles with dye in suspension at two excitation wavelengths,250and620nm.On the one hand,when the excitation of the sample takes place directly to the absorption band of the dye(620nm,see Fig.5)the emission band is obtained at696nm,emission band typical of Alexa Fluor 6601dye,indicating its presence in the particles.In order to compare thefluorescence efficiency of Alexa660dye in solution and anchored at the nanoparticles,the ratio between the fluorescence intensity and the absorbance of the sample at the excitation wavelength is analysed(Fig.S6).In this way and assuming a quantum yield of around0.37for Alexa660in aqueous solution[36],an estimated quantum yield of around0.13is obtained for the dye at the nanoparticles in suspension On the other hand,when the excitation wavelength wasfixed at250nm (absorption attributed mainly to the iron oxides present in the nanoparticles)the obtained band at390nm can be attributed to the typical emission of nanoparticles of iron oxide present in the sample.In addition,the dye emission band is also present.Although the absorption andfluorescence spectroscopictechniques indicate the presence offluorescence dye in thesuspension of nanoparticles,to confirm the anchorage to thenanoparticles surface confocalfluorescence time resolved micros-copy measurements were carried out.This technique allows thestudy of thefluorescent properties of the dye anchored onto singlenanoparticles[43].In this way it can be obtained informationabout lifetimes of a single particle(Fig.7),and also,through a CCDcamera,a spectrum of thefluorescence in single particle can beobtained(Fig.8).So,by positioning the excitation laser(640nm)in the centre ofeach nanoparticle,thefluorescence spectrum of the anchored dyenanoparticle is obtained(Fig.8).In addition,thefigure includes thespectrum of dye in solution measured at the same conditions.Themaximum offluorescence are696nm for dye and687nm for thedye anchored to nanoparticles.The displacement of the maximumtowards lower wavelength,is a typical effect of dyes adsorbed insurfaces,as the case of the iron nanoparticles.Fig.9shows thefluorescence decay curves obtained by confocalmicroscopy for the dye in solution and labelled dye in eachnanoparticle and respective histograms.The half lifetime of free dye presents monoexponencialbehaviour,with a value offluorescence life time t=1.8ns,while the conjugated nanoparticles presents a biexponencial behaviourwith:life time t1%0.1–0.5ns y t2=1.5–1.7ns(Fig.9).These values have been obtained after the analysis of,at least,10individualparticles.The short half lifetime,around0.1–0.6ns can be attributed tothe light scattered by the nanoparticle itself and the obtained longhalf life time(t2=1.5–1.7)is attributed to anchored dye to nanoparticle surface.AbsorbanceWavelength

nanoparticle can be attributed to the dye quenching due to the presence of iron oxide.Confocal fluorescence microscopy con firmed that the dye is labelled onto nanoparticles and maintains its fluorescent proper-ties.Therefore,the trajectory of these nanoparticles may be monitored by fluorescence microscopy under red excitation in vitro or in vivo experiments.4.ConclusionsIn this study,iron nanoparticles coated with PEG and mPEG were prepared and characterized.The nanoparticles present high magnetic susceptibility and sizes between 10and 15nm.It is noteworthy that the synthesized nanoparticles are mainly zero-valent iron.The FemPEG nanoparticles were successfully functionalized and conjugated with a fluorescent dye.Thus,amine-reactive N -hydroxysuccinimidyl ester of Alexa Fluor 660dye was conju-gated to the nanoparticle surface.This dye produces bright far red fluorescence emission with a peak at 690nm under red excitation light (in the clinic window).Studies of confocal fluorescence microscopy con firmed that the fluorescent dye is attached to the nanoparticles and retains itsfluorescent properties which could make possible to monitor the course of in vitro or in vivo samples using fluorescent microscopy red under excitation.The magnetic properties of synthesized nanoparticles added to its fluorescent response result in a suitable material for be detected by both magnetic and fluorescent techniques for combined MR/Optical imaging applications.AcknowledgementsAuthors thank the Basque Country Government for financial support (ACTIMAT

The as-prepared CuO structures were characterized by UV-Vis, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), FESEM and EDS techniques. The flowerlike CuO structures consisted of Salix leaf-like nanostructures. A possible growth mechanism for the formation of 3D flowerlike CuO structure was proposed. The processes of ripening and directed growing of nanoparticles were most important factors to obtain the 3D flowerlike CuO structures. IntroductionThe morphology and size of controlling materials with micro- and nanostructures have an important effect on material performance [1]. It is widely accepted that these properties are not only related to their sizes but also to their shapes. Therefore, controlling the morphologies of micro- and nanomaterials is one of the most important issues and effective ways to obtain desirable properties [2]. As one of the novel structures, three-dimensional (3D) flowerlike micro- and nanostructures with complex architectures have attracted much attention because of their unique properties and potential applications [3-8]. For example, Zhong et al. synthesize three-dimensional (3D) flowerlike ceria micro/nanocomposite structure by a simple and economical route based on ethylene glycol mediated process [9].They found that the as-obtained ceria was an effective sorbent for the removal of As(V) and Cr(VI) in water treatment. There is a novel 3D flower-like NiMnFe mixed oxide catalyst has been grown on an iron wire mesh by an in situ hydrothermal precipitation method showing excellent activity for SCR of NO with NH3 with a broad operation temperature window [10].Cupric oxide (CuO) is a p-type transition-metal-oxide semiconductor with a narrow band gap (1.2 eV) and has received much attention due to its potential applications in many fields such as lithium ion batteries [11,12], gas sensors [13,14], catalysts [15,16],field emission [17] and superconductors [18]. Until now, a variety of methods have been developed to fabricate flower-likeCuO micro- and nanostructures, such as solution-immersion [19], chemical precipitation [20], hydrothermal [21] and microwave-hydrothermal [22]. Though lots of beautiful CuO have been synthesized, the processes of these methods were fussy and tiring. In this article, we successfully obtained 3D CuO with flower-like structure by a simple and convenient approach at low temperature. This novel structure has bigger specific surface area and surface roughness. The possible growth mechanism of CuO nanocrystals was discussed.Experimental detailsThree-dimensional (3D) flowerlike CuO structures were synthesized by simple solution method at low-temperature (40°C) using the cupric chloride (CuCl2·2H2O), cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), potassium borohydride (KBH4), and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). All of the chemicals were bought from Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd and used as-received without further purifications. The starting solution of copper (0.05 mol·L-1) was prepared by dissolving 0.4994 g (0.002 mol) CuCl2·2H2O in 30 mL deionized water, then the CuCl2 solution was slowly dropped into the 50 mL solution which contained 0.004 mol CTAB and 0.008 mol KBH4under vigorous stirring. Moreover, few drops of 0.1 mol·L-1 NaOH were added to adjust the alkalinity of the solution to pH 11-12. The purple red colloids were saved in a bottle at room temperature after reaction 5 h. Several days later, the Ostwald ripening was finished and the brownish black powders were obtained which were washed with deionized water and ethanol several times and dried at 50℃in vacuum drying oven for 12 h.UV-vis absorption spectrum of the as-prepared colloids was recorded on a Shimadzu UV-2550 spectrophotometer. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images were taken with the JEM-2100F transmission electron microscope at an accelerating voltage of 200 kV. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) images were taken by the Quanta 250 FEG at an accelerating voltage of 20 kV. The crystal phase was analyzed by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) measured with Cu-Kα radiations.Results and discussionUV-vis absorption spectrum is one of the most important methods to investigate the optical properties of nanostructure. The UV-Vis absorbance spectroscopy of as-prepared colloids was shown in Figure 1. There is a broad peak centered at 330 nm. Another broad peak centered at 625 nm is also observed. These two peaks are attributed to the band gap transition of CuO [23,24]. The morphology of the as-prepared nanaoparticles in colloids was analysed by the TEM as shown in Figure 2. There are lots of small analogous spherical nanoparticles are formed. The mean diameter of these nanoparticles is 11 nm.Figure1. UV-Vis absorption spectra of colloids Figure2. TEM image and size distribution ofthe synthesized CuO nanoparticles The composition of the as-prepared powder was examined by XRD, and all of the products obtained gave similar results. A typical XRD pattern of the sample is shown in Figure 3. It can be seen that all of the diffraction peaks in the XRD pattern are characteristics of monoclinic phase CuO (JCPDS 65-2309). Compared with the standard diffraction patterns, no by-products Cu(OH)2or Cu2O are detected from the XRD pattern. Consistent with the XRD result, the EDS (Figure 4) result also demonstrates the elements Cu and O contained in the sample and the atomic ratio of Cu to O is equal to 1:1, which further proves that the products are pure CuO. This indicated that CuO products were obtained under current synthetic conditions. The element Al came from the aluminium foilwhich used as basement and the element Au came from sputter coater.Figure3. XRD pattern of the as-obtained Figure4. EDS spectra of the as-obtainedCuO product CuO productThe morphology of the as-prepared CuO sample was analyzed by the FESEM as shown in Figure 5. The Figure 5a shows that sample consists of CuO micro-chrysanthemum on large scale and each flower has a size of 2.5 µm. From the Figure 5b, these uniform flower-like assemblies are made up of dozens of loosely thin CuO nano Salix leaf of 1-1.2 µm in length and 20-200 nm in width with cuspate tips. All the nano Salix leaf intersected at the central point of the flower.Applied Mechanics and Materials Vol. 328731732Mechanical Science and Engineering IIIFigure5. FESEM images of flower-like CuO productKBH4 is a very strong reductant, so Cu nanoparticles should be formed in reaction initial stage. However, oxygen was existed in water. The copper nanoparticles were oxidated due to their tiny size. The corresponding reaction equation is as follows:4Cu2+ + BH− + 8OH− → Cu + BO2−+ 6H2O; 2Cu + O2 → 2CuOSo, once the Cu nuclei formed, it would become CuO. These nanoparticles had very high energy due to their tiny size so they would be re-dissolved in solutions. Because of the supersaturation, they would be precipitated on the surface of bigger CuO. This process of Ostwald ripening needed several days. The growing of CuO particles were directed to 3D flowerlike CuO owing to the adsorption of CTAB on specific crystal face.ConclusionsIn summary, three-dimensional (3D) flower-like CuO structures with a size of 2.5 µm have been synthesized by a chemical reduction method at room temperature. CuCl2·2H2O was as oxidant and KBH4 as reductant. The CuO nanoparticles needed several days to ripen to The CuO 3D flowerlike CuO structure which composed of many nano-leaves. The pure CuO crystal was exhibited by X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern and EDS technique. Our results may provide an example to fabricate other micro- and nanomaterials with similar shapes, and this structure is expected to have potential applications in the fields including sensors and catalysts.AcknowledgementsThis work was sponsored by the National Nature Science Foundation of China (No.51202175) and the 111 Project (B13035).References[1]X.
