Color and structural analysis of CoxZn7 xSb2O12 pigments
نویسندگان
چکیده
The polymeric precursor method was successfully used to synthesize CoxZn7 xSb2O12 (x = 0–7) powders. Pigments were evaluated using colorimetry, X-ray diffraction, UV–vis and infrared spectroscopy. The optical band gap values vary with the Co substitution. These results suggest that the concomitant presence of Co and Zn in the spinel lattice leads to the rupture of the Végard law, as well as other properties of the studied system, such as unit cell volume. The Co-richer samples display a higher absorbance than the Co-lean samples. The high absorption of the Co7Sb2O12 sample at most of the visible region makes this compound a candidate for a black pigment. It was shown that color depends on the site where the chromophore ion is located, in agreement with the ligand field theory. # 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

FTIR study of primate color visual pigments
How do we distinguish colors? Humans possess three color pigments; red-, green-, and blue-sensitive proteins, which have maximum absorbance (λmax) at 560, 530, and 420 nm, respectively, and contribute to normal human trichromatic vision (RGB). Each color pigments consists of a different opsin protein bound to a common chromophore molecule, 11-cis-retinal, whereas different chromophore-protein i...

Blue nano pigments of CoAl2O4 were successfully prepared by polyol method. Two different groups of materials containing chloride and acetate compounds were used to synthesis the nano pigments. The nano pigments were calcinated at 1100 °C. The CoAl2O4 nano pigments were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), dynamic li...
متن کاملFunctional expression of human cone pigments using recombinant baculovirus: compatibility with histidine tagging and evidence for TV-glycosylation
Mammalian color vision is mediated by light-sensitive pigments in retinal cone cells. Biochemical studies on native mammalian cone visual pigments are seriously hampered by their low levels and instability. We describe a novel approach for their functional expression, employing the baculovirus system in combination with histidine tagging to allow future purification and structural analysis. The...
