Quantum Confinement in PbI2 Nanodisks Prepared with Cucurbit[7]uril

چکیده
Este trabalho apresenta uma rota alternativa para a preparação de nanodiscos de iodeto de chumbo (ca. 50-340 × 7Å, diâmetro × espessura) utilizando o macrocíclico cucurbit[7]urila como molde de síntese e agente estabilizante. Estas nanopartículas apresentam um deslocamento para o azul de gap óptico consistente com seu tamanho reduzido e confinamento quântico 1D. Suas espessuras são compatíveis com a de uma camada de iodeto de chumbo esfoliado, indicando que cucurbit[7]urila impede a formação de estruturas lamelares e limita o crescimento das nanopartículas. A estrutura, a morfologia e as propriedades destes discos foram verificadas por difratometria de raios X em pó (XRD), espectroscopia no UV-Visível, microscopia de força atômica (AFM), microscopia eletrônica de varredura com análise de fluorescência de raios X por dispersão de energia (SEM-EDS) e microscopia eletrônica de transmissão de alta resolução (HRTEM).

Defection-selective solubilization and chemically-responsive solubility switching of single-walled carbon nanotubes with cucurbit[7]uril.
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were suspended in aqueous media with cucurbit[7]uril (CB7), while SWCNTs were insoluble with cucurbit[5]uril (CB5). Moreover, defection-selective solubilization of SWCNTs with CB7 was demonstrated.
متن کاملInclusion complex formation of sanguinarine alkaloid with cucurbit[7]uril: inhibition of nucleophilic attack and photooxidation.
The inclusion of sanguinarine, a biologically active natural benzophenanthridine alkaloid, in cucurbit[7]uril (CB7) was studied by NMR and ground-state absorption spectroscopy, as well as steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence measurements in aqueous solution. The iminium form of sanguinarine (SA(+)) produces very stable 1 : 1 inclusion complex with CB7 (K = 1.0 × 10(6) M(-1)), whereas the...
متن کاملCucurbit[7]uril assisted ultraviolet to visible fluorescence switch of a heart medicine.
Host-guest interactions between cucurbit[7]uril (CB7) and a cardiotonic drug, milrinone, have been explored using steady state and pico-second time-resolved techniques. A novel fluorescence switch from ultraviolet (UV) to visible (cyan) is observed as a consequence of upward pKa shift of the drug inside the nano-cavity of cucurbit[7]uril.
متن کاملLight and cucurbit[7]uril complexation dual-responsiveness of a cyanostilbene-based self-assembled system.
A cyanostilbene-based amphiphile (CS) was synthesized, which could self-assemble into non-emissive bilayer vesicles and ultra-thin ribbons. Cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) could form an inclusion complex with CS with a significant hypochrome effect, giving a strong blue emission from non-emissive species. CS underwent photoisomerization induced by light irradiation, which allowed the membrane contracti...
متن کاملCucurbit[8]uril‐Regulated Nanopatterning of Binary Polymer Brushes via Colloidal Templating
Sub-micrometer/nanoscale patterned polymer brushes are prepared by employing cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) as a supramolecular recognition motif to assemble functional silica colloids onto Au surfaces as a sacrificial nanopatterning template. By employing CB[8]-mediated host-guest interactions at the interface, it is possible to readily generate nanopatterned materials in aqueous media under ambient ...
