Nanoconfinement Effect in Water Processable Discrete Molecular Complex-Based Hybrid Piezo- and Thermo-Electric Nanogenerator.

Water-processable hybrid piezo- and thermo-electric materials have an increasing range of applications. We use the nanoconfinement effect of ferroelectric discrete molecular complex [Cu(l-phe)(bpy)(H2O)]PF6·H2O (1) in a nonpolar polymer 1D-nanofiber to envision the high-performance flexible hybrid piezo- and thermo-electric nanogenerator (TEG). The 1D-nanoconfined crystallization of 1 enhances piezoelectric throughput with a high degree of mechano-sensitivity, i.e., 710 mV/N up to 3 N of applied force with 10,000 cycles of unaffected mechanical endurance. Thermoelectric properties analysis shows a noticeable improvement in Seebeck coefficient (∼4 fold) and power factor (∼6 fold) as compared to its film counterpart, which is attributed to the enhanced density of states near the Fermi edges as evidenced by ultraviolet photoelectric spectroscopy and density functional based theoretical calculations. We report an aqueous processable hybrid TEG that provides an impressive magnitude of Seebeck coefficient (∼793 µV/K) and power factor (∼35 mWm-1K-2) in comparison to a similar class of materials.

UV Laser-Induced Photodecomposition of Matrix-Isolated Salicylhydroxamic Acid: Identification of New Isocyanate Complexes.

Photochemical reactions of salicylhydroxamic acid were induced using tunable UV laser radiation followed by FTIR spectroscopy. Four pairs of co-products were experimentally found to appear in the photolysis: C6H4(OH)NCO⋯H2O (1), C6H4(OH)C(O)N⋯H2O (2), C6H4(OH)2⋯HNCO (3), and C6H4(OH)NHOH⋯CO (4). The comparison of the theoretical spectra with the experimental ones allowed us to determine the structures of the complexes formed in the matrices. The mechanisms of the reaction channels leading to the formation of the photoproducts were proposed. It was concluded that the first step in the formation of the complexes (1), (2), and (3) was the scission of the N-O bond, whereas the creation of complex (4) was due to cleavage of the C-N bond.

Solubilization of Meglumine on Repaglinide / 中国药师

Objective:To study the solubility of repaglinide in meglumine aqueous solution. Methods: In order to increase the solubility of repaglinide, meglumine was used to react with repaglinide and obtain a molecular complex. The structure and composition of meglumine-repaglinide complex was analyzed by DSC, HPLC and HPLC-MS. Results:Meglumine and repaglinide formed a molecu-lar complex, and their best molar ratio was 1 ∶1. With the concentration increase of meglumine, the solubility of repaglinide also in-creased. The stability of molecular complexes decreased with the temperature increase. Conclusion:Meglumine plays a good role in the solubilization of repaglinide.
