Theoretical calculations of the geometries, electronic structures and electronic absorption spectra of a series of covalently-linked porphyrin dimers are reported. The diporphyrins comprise 5,10,15-triphenylporphyrinatozinc(II) (ZnTriPP) units linked through the meso carbons by two-atom bridges, namely 1,2-ethanediyl…

Nanocrystallisation of the cubic and hexagonal polymorphs of KLaF4 in a 70SiO2–7Al2O3–16K2O–7LaF3 (mol%) glass has been achieved by heat treatment above the glass transition temperature. For treatment at 580 °C, only the cubic structure crystallises, with a maximum crystallite size of ~9 nm. At higher temperatures, cr…

Based on a naphthalene-threaded cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) rotaxane structure on a solid substrate, a new strategy for rapid, fully reversible, and highly sensitive detection of a broad class of explosives was developed by using one receptor. Due to the unique confinement effect and size exclusion of the CB[8] cavity, it…

The study on explosive materials is paramount due to the potential hazards to national security and health. When disposed of, explosives can cause seawater pollution. The detection of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) in seawater has been examined on two different forms of graphene, mainly graphene prepared from the unzippi…

The influence of post-annealing conditions, the partial oxygen pressures (pO 2 ) and temperatures, on the formation of CuCrO 2 films is examined in this study. The sol-gel derived films were annealed at 500°C in air and post-annealed at 600°C to 850°C in pO 2 = 10 −3 atm to pO 2 = 0.21 atm. The CuO and CuCr 2 O 4 phas…

Hydrogen (deuterium) absorption into sputter-coated titanium (Ti) film electrodes during cathodic polarization in heavy water (D 2 O) was monitored using in-situ neutron reflectometry (NR) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The scattering length density (SLD) of Ti metal increased with increasing cathod…
