Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations were conducted on a CM 120 transmission electron microscope (Philips, Netherlands) at an acceleration voltage of 80 kV. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images were obtained on a TS-5136MM scanning electron microscope (Tescan, Czech) at an accelerating voltage of 20 kV. Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectra were measured on a UV-25...

Investigations into V-agent interaction with 1,10-phenanthroline nitrate Ln(III) complexes (Eu and Tb) were carried out using luminescence and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Addition of several equivalents of agent resulted in the loss of luminescence intensity and the observation of free 1,10-phenanthroline by UV-Vis. We propose a displacement mechanism in which the V-agent acts as a bidentate ligand to...

A dynamic combinatorial library of metal-dye complexes was obtained by reacting aqueous solutions of the dyes Methyl Calcein Blue, Arsenazo I, and Xylenol Orange with CuCl(2) and NiCl(2). The mixture gave a characteristic UV-Vis response upon addition of the peptide hormones angiotensin I and angiotensin II. This allowed distinguishing pure samples of peptide hormones from mixtures. The discrim...

Two new classes of dendrimers bearing 8 and 32 fluorene donor groups have been synthesized. The first and second generations of these porphyrin-PAMAM-fluorene dendrimers were characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, FTIR, UV-vis spectroscopy, elemental analyses and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The UV-vis spectra showed that the individual properties of donor and acceptor moieties were preserved, indic...

UV–VIS spectroscopy is applied to study the structural and especially morphological particularities of silver nanoclusters-phosphate glass composites from the dispersed phase perspective. The electronic absorption measurements performed on several types of phosphate glasses with different Ag2O content indicate the existence of both silver nanoparticles of various dimensions and shapes, and Ag i...

Analytical methods based on spectroscopic techniques were developed and validated for the determination of diethyl phthalate (DEP) and polyhexamethylene guanidine (PHMG), which may occur in unrecorded alcohol. Analysis for PHMG was based on UV-VIS spectrophotometry after derivatization with Eosin Y and (1)H NMR spectroscopy of the DMSO extract. Analysis of DEP was performed with direct UV-VIS a...

In the present work, the ZnFe2O4 nanoparticle has been successfully synthesized. The obtained sample was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and its optical property was examined by UV-Vis spectrophotometer. FE-SEM revealed that the particle size of the ZnFe2O4 of about 47 nm was synthesized. The photocatalytic performance under UV-Vis and vi...

The catalytic activity of large zeolite H-ZSM-5 crystals in methanol (MTO) and ethanol-to-olefins (ETO) conversions was investigated and, using operando UV/Vis measurements, the catalytic activity and deactivation was correlated with the formation of coke. These findings were related to in situ single crystal UV/Vis and confocal fluorescence micro-spectroscopy, allowing the observation of the s...

The compound (n-Bu4N)2Tc2Br8 was prepared by the metathesis of (n-Bu4N)2Tc2Cl8 with HBr (g) in dichloromethane and characterized by X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy and UV-vis spectroscopy. Analysis of the data gives a Tc-Tc distance of 2.16(1) A and a Tc-Br distance of 2.48(1) A. The Tc(III) oxidation state was inferred by the position of the edge absorption, which reveals a shift ...
