Green electrochemical template synthesis of CoPt nanoparticles with tunable size, composition, and magnetism from microemulsions using an ionic liquid (bmimPF6)

Altres ajuts: Substrates have been prepared in IMB-CNM (CSIC),supported by the (CSIC) NGG-258 project.Electrodeposition from microemulsions using ionic liquids is revealed as a green method for synthesizing magnetic alloyed nanoparticles, avoiding the use of aggressive reducing agents. Microemulsions containing droplets of aqueous solution (electrolytic solution containing Pt(IV) and Co(II) ions) in an ionic liquid (bmimPF) define nanoreactors in which the electrochemical reduction takes place. Highly crystalline hcp alloyed CoPt nanoparticles, in the 10-120 nm range with a rather narrow size distribution, have been deposited on a conductive substrate. The relative amount of aqueous solution to ionic liquid determines the size of the nanoreactors, which serve as nanotemplates for the growth of the nanoparticles and hence determine their size and distribution. Further, the stoichiometry (PtCo) of the particles can be tuned by the composition of the electrolytic solution inside the droplets. The control of the size and composition of the particles allows tailoring the room-temperature magnetic behavior of the nanoparticles from superparaparamagnetic to hard magnetic (with a coercivity of H = 4100 Oe) in the as-obtained state. © 2014 American Chemical Society

Local Structures and Heterogeneity of Silica-Supported M(III) Sites Evidenced by EPR, IR, NMR, and Luminescence Spectroscopies

Grafting molecular precursors on partially dehydroxylated silica followed by a thermal treatment yields silica-supported M(III) sites for a broad range of metals. They display unique properties such as high activity in olefin polymerization and alkane dehydrogenation (M = Cr) or efficient luminescence properties (M = Yb and Eu) essential for bioimaging. Here, we interrogate the local structure of the M(III) surface sites obtained from two molecular precursors, amides M(N(SiMe3)2)3 vs siloxides (M(OSi(OtBu)3)3·L with L = (THF)2 or HOSi(OtBu)3 for M = Cr, Yb, Eu, and Y, by a combination of advanced spectroscopic techniques (EPR, IR, XAS, UV-vis, NMR, luminescence spectroscopies). For paramagnetic Cr(III), EPR (HYSCORE) spectroscopy shows hyperfine coupling to nitrogen only when the amide precursor is used, consistent with the presence of nitrogen neighbors. This changes their specific reactivity compared to Cr(III) sites in oxygen environments obtained from siloxide precursors: no coordination of CO and oligomer formation during the polymerization of ethylene due to the presence of a N-donor ligand. The presence of the N-ligand also affects the photophysical properties of Yb and Eu by decreasing their lifetime, probably due to nonradiative deactivation of excited states by N-H bonds. Both types of precursors lead to a distribution of surface sites according to reactivity for Cr, luminescence spectroscopy for Yb and Eu, and dynamic nuclear polarization surface-enhanced 89Y NMR spectroscopy (DNP SENS). In particular, DNP SENS provides molecular-level information about the structure of surface sites by evidencing the presence of tri-, tetra-, and pentacoordinated Y-surface sites. This study provides unprecedented evidence and tools to assess the local structure of metal surface sites in relation to their chemical and physical properties. © 2017 American Chemical Society

Uma crônica da integração dos museus estatutários à USP

This article offers a historical account of the political process behind the incorporation\ud of todays statutory museums into the University of São Paulo, providing support for ongoing\ud discussions about the changes to the universitys bylaws. It describes the steps leading to the\ud integration of the museums into USP while considering the environment in which this process\ud took place, with a special focus on the Zoology Museum. It identifies the main obstacles that\ud have stood in the way of their full integration into the academic life of the university
