Luminescence study of europium（Ⅲ） tris（β-diketonato）/phosphonate complexes in chloroform

The extraction of Eu（Ⅲ） with β-diketone, HA, and monodentate or bidentate Lewis bases, B, into chloroform and the luminescence properties of the extracted species were studied. Pivaloyltrifluoroacetone, Hpta, and 2-thenoyltfifluoroacetone, Htta, were used as the β-diketones. The Lewis bases, B, were tetraethyl methylene diphosphonate, POPO, which was bidentate, and diethyl benzylphosphonate, PhPO which was monodentate. Based on the extraction data, the stability constants, log β, of the first complexes between tfis（β-diketonato）Eu（Ⅲ） and the phosphonate, EuA3B, were determined to be 6.0 for the POPO complex and 3.40 for the PhPO complex. The Eu（Ⅲ） luminescence intensity in the EuA3POPO was larger than EuA3 where A was either pta or tta at similar concentrations of Eu（Ⅲ）, while that in Eu（pta）3PhPO was stronger than EuA3; however, in Eu（tta）3PhPO, it was weaker than Eu（tta）3. The POPO functions as a sensitizer, and the PhPO functions as a quencher for the tta chelate and as a sensitizer for the pta chelate. From the lifetime and quantum yield, φ, of the Eu（Ⅲ） luminescence in the complexes as well as the observation of the extractability of Eu（Ⅲ） with the Hpta and the phosphonates and of the luminescence spectra of the complexes, it was confirmed that the extraction of Eu（Ⅲ） was remarkably enhanced with a β-diketonate and a strong Lewis base, and also the ternary complex that was formed as the extracted species, showed luminescence enhancement. This phenomenon may be due the formation of a strong bond between the Eu（Ⅲ） and the strong Lewis base leading to more hydrophobicity in the extracted species and also to more effective energy transfer from the Lewis base to the Eu（Ⅲ）. It was not significant whether the donor atoms were N or O.     

Electroanalytical tools to investigate the divalent state of Eu（III） and Nd（III） ions in non-aqueous medium

The divalent state of Ln(Ⅲ) ions has attracted much interest because of their ability to serve isomorphously in many biological sys-tem of divalent Ca(II) ion. Therefore, present paper deals with the study of divalent state of Eu(Ⅲ) and Nd(Ⅲ) ions in non-aqueous medium. In present study, cyclic voltammetry and chronopotentiometry were utilized to establish the divalent state of Eu(Ⅲ) and Nd(Ⅲ) ions. The cy-clic voltammetric technique showed two-step reduction process at cathode for both Ln(Ⅲ) ions under specified experimental conditions and chronopotentiometric method also showed two different transition times (). Looking to the shape of cyclic voltammogram we calculated het-erogeneous forward rate constant (K0fh, cm/s) and diffusion coefficient (D, cm2/s) for both ions, which suggested that sweep rate had great ef-fect on the shape of cyclic voltammogram of Eu(Ⅲ) and Nd(Ⅲ) ions. The result of chronopotentiometry also suggested that stable divalent states of Eu(Ⅲ) and Nd(III) ions existed with chronopotentiogram with two distinct transition times. The diffusion coefficients (D, cm2/s) were calculated from Sand equation. The diffusion coefficients of both techniques were compared and the results suggested that the system at electrode surface was changing from being reversible to irreversible.

Synthesis, structure and photoluminescent properties of a new Eu(Ⅲ) complex with 5-bromoisophthalic acid

The self-assembly of 5-bromoisophthalic acid (H2BIPA) with Eu(NO3)3·6H2O under the hydrothermal conditions gave a 3D coordination polymer, Eu2(BIPA)3(CH3CH2OH) (1), which was characterized by elemental analysis, IR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 displayed an unusual three-dimensional network of a rare (4,6)-connected (48.66.8)2(44.62)2(42.84) topology, which was different from Eu2(BDC)3(H2O)2 (BDC=isophthalate), because the -Br substituent of the isophthalate resulted in the different electronic effects and the steric hindrance to change the coordination modes of carboxylate groups in the assembled process. Moreover, the luminescent properties of 1 were also investigated in the solid state.     

热处理消除铸态TiAl基合金组织中的β(B2)相

利用光学显微镜和扫描电镜,研究热处理对铸态Ti-43Al-4Nb-1.4W-0.6B-0.1Y合金及其在1 200℃锻造后的组织中β(B2)相偏析的影响。结果表明:在α+γ两相区保温适当时间,可减少铸态合金组织中的β(B2)相偏析,经1 250℃/6 h+AC(air cooling)热处理后,晶界处和片层内的β(B2)相偏析明显减少,但不能消除β(B2)相;经过热变形后,β(B2)相发生变形甚至被破碎,有利于β(B2)相在随后的热处理中消除;热处理后,合金中β(B2)相的含量与变形中的动态再结晶密切相关,高应变速率下β(B2)相动态再结晶不完全,在随后的热处理过程中,由于变形储能的作用更易消除β(B2)相。     

Ti(C,N)含量和烧结温度对梯度硬质合金脱β层厚度的影响

以Ti(C,N)为N源,在脱氮气氛下烧结制备WC-TiC-Ti(C,N)-TaC-NbC-Co硬质合金,研究Ti(C,N)含量和烧结温度对脱β层厚度及合金微观组织与性能的影响。结果表明:随Ti(C,N)的质量分数从0.5%增加到1.5%,脱β层厚度持续增大。随烧结温度升高,脱β层厚度增大,增大的幅度随Ti(C,N)含量增加而增大。合金的密度、硬度和矫顽磁力不受Ti(C,N)含量的影响,但随烧结温度升高,合金的硬度降低、矫顽磁力变小、WC平均晶粒尺寸增大且直边化。脱β层中无明显的WC晶粒异常长大现象,脱β层厚度由Ti的扩散和N含量决定。     

Influence of alkaline earth metal cations on the charge transfer kinetics for the redox couple Ti(IV)/Ti(III) in a chloride–fluoride melt

The influence of strongly polarizing cations Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, Sr²⁺, and Ba²⁺ on the charge transfer kinetics of the redox couple Ti(IV)/Ti(III) is studied. The standard rate constants of charge transfer (k _s) for the Ti(IV)/Ti(III) redox couple in the (NaCl–KCl)_eq–NaF (10 wt %)–K₂TiF₆ melt upon the addition of the strongly polarizing cations into the starting melt are determined. The dependence of the charge transfer rate constants on the ionic potential of the cations is established. The activation energies of the charge transfer process are calculated for the fluoride complexes of the Ti(IV)/Ti(III) redox couple with the outer-sphere cations Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, Sr²⁺, and Ba²⁺.     

Multi-site occupancies and luminescence properties of cyan-emitting Ca9-xNaGd2/3(PO4)7:Eu2+phosphors for white light-emitting diodes

Cyan-emitting Ca₉NaGd_2/3(PO₄)₇:Eu²⁺phosphors were synthesized via high temperature solid-state route.X-ray powder diffraction(XRD)and scanning electron microscopy(SEM)were used to verify the phase and morphology of the Ca₉NaGd_2/3(PO₄)₇:Eu²⁺(CNGP:Eu²⁺)phosphors.The as-obtained phosphor exhibits a broad excitation band of 250-420 nm,which is near the ultraviolet region.An intense asymmetric cyan emission at 496 nm corresponds to the 5 d-4 f transition of Eu²⁺.The multiplesite luminescent properties of Eu²⁺ions in CNGP benefit from versatile structure ofβ-Ca3(PO4)2 compounds.The effective energy transfer distance is 5.46 nm(through the spectral overlap calculation),validating that the resonant energy migration type is via dipole-dipole interaction mechanism.Compared to the initial one at room temperature,the luminescent intensity of CNGP:Eu²⁺phosphor can maintain 77%as it is heated up to 420 K.A white light-emitting diode(WLED)with excellent luminesce nt properties was successfully fabricated.Moreover,the CIE chromaticity coordinates of fabricated WLED driven by changing current just change slightly.
