Evidence is presented to indicate that aqueous Co2+ exists as the hexaaquo-ion in equilibrium with minor amounts (upper limits 0.08% at 298 K, 7% at 625 K, at 16–25 MPa) of tetraaquocobalt(II), with ΔH ~ +17 kJ mol−1. The single visible absorption band of the supposed Co(H2O)42+ has maxima at 552 nm and 486 nm in the intensity ratio 2:1. Hydrogen sulfate ion (up to 0.5 M at least) does not complex Co2+(aq) detectably in acidic media, 290–625 K, and sulfuric acid therefore holds promise as a non-complexing strong monobasic acid for high-temperature aqueous studies. In water containing 2.0 M or more Cl−, the tetrahedral form of cobalt(II) is CoCl42−, ΔH for the octahedral → tetrahedral equilibrium being +62 kJ mol−1; forCoBr42−, the corresponding ΔH is +70 kJ mol−1, the greater endothermicity accounting entirely for the lower stability relative to CoCl42−.

A method for the synthesis of reactive oligomeric silsesquioxanes, combining fragments of azo dye 4-(phenylazo)phenol and fluorescent dye Rhodamine B in various proportions in an organic shell was developed. These compounds were obtained by the reaction between the oligosilsesquioxane nanoparticles consisting of a mixture of linear, branched, ladder and polyhedral structures with epoxy groups in an organic frame (OSS–Ep) and the dyes. The structure of the synthesized substances was characterized by the methods of IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The UV-Vis spectra of OSS–Pp–Rh in DMF solution contain absorption bands characteristic of both acidic (560 and 350 nm) and lactone (in the range of 318–326 nm) forms of Rhodamine B. The absorption band of 4-(phenylazo) phenol fragments corresponding to π−π* transition is observed at 348 nm and overlaps the absorption band of Rhodamine B at 350 nm.The intensity of the absorption bands of fragments of various dyes depends on their content in organic frame of the silsesquioxane core. The intensity of the absorption bands at 348 nm and at 560 nm increases with an increase in the content of 4-(phenylazo)phenol and Rhodamine B correspondingly.It should be noted that when using DMF as a solvent the absorption band corresponding to acidic form of Rhodamine B at 560 nm in the UV-Vis spectra of the compounds obtained is more intense than similar band in the spectrum of the original Rhodamine B. Therefore, the attachment of Rhodamine B to the silsesquioxane core of oligomeric silsesquioxanes mixture does not have a significant effect on the position of absorption maxima in the UV-spectrum and prevents dye’s fragments from converting to the colorless lactone form. In the fluorescence spectra of OSS–Pp–Rh obtained using DMF as a solvent a peak at λ max = 592 nm (λex= 520 nm) is observed. The position of the fluorescence peak and its intensity in the spectra at the same optical density of the medium practically do not depend on the ratio of fragments of 4-(phenylazo)phenol and Rhodamine B in organic frame of OSS–Pp–Rh.  The combination of two different chromophores in organic shell of the silsesquioxane core broadens the range of absorbed light and the change of their ratio allows to adjust the absorption intensity in a certain area. The presence of hydroxyl groups makes it possible to introduce the obtained compounds into the composition of polymeric organic-inorganic nanocomposites by covalent bonding.

An asymmetrical photochromic diarylethene 1-[2-trifluoromethylpheny-2-[2-methyl-5-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-3-thienyperfluorocyclopentene (1o) was synthesized and its phtochromic, fluorescent properties in both solution and PMMA films were investigated in detail. This compound exhibited remarkable photochromism, upon irradiation with 297 nm UV light, the colorless solution of 1o turned to plum with a new visible absorption band centered at 544 nm (ε =3.75 × 103 L mol-1 cm-1) attributable to the closed-ring isomer 1c.The fluorescence intensity of diarylethene decreased dramatically along with the photochromism from open-ring isomer to closed-ring isomer in PMMA films and in hexane. The emission intensity of diarylethene 1o in a photostationary state was quenched to ca. 64% in hexane and 27% in PMMA films.

Aporetinochrome, which is a protein moiety of retinochrome without chromophore retinal, is found in the membrane containing retinochrome. All of the prosthetic retinal of retinochrome in membranes, which is all-trans retinal, is bound to the chromophoric site on the protein moiety, with protonated Schiff bases showing an absorption band with the maximum at 495 nm. On exposure to light, retinochrome is converted to metaretinochrome at room temperature. The prosthetic retinals of metaretinochrome in membranes, which are 11-cis retinals, are in two states: retinals bound to the chromophoric site with protonated Schiff bases, and the free retinals, which are separated from the protein moiety. These states are suggested from the following observations. (a) The ratio of the absorbance at 470 nm of metaretinochrome to that at 495 nm of the parental retinochrome differs because of differences in samples and is higher in the purer preparations. (b) The difference spectrum of absorption of metaretinochrome caused by alkalinization shows two minimum peaks at approximately 420 and 470 nm. (c) The rate of bleaching of metaretinochrome in membranes with dilute NH2OH is much faster than that of retinochrome, and the absorption band in the near-UV region is more susceptible to NH2OH than the visible absorption band. The state of the prosthetic retinals in metaretinochrome was confirmed directly by the reaction of metaretinochrome in membranes with NaBH4. After treatment with NaBH4, the sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic pattern shows two fluorescent bands: one at the position that corresponds to the retinochrome protein (mol wt 27,000 +/- 2,000), and another at the front of migration, where no band of protein is observed. Retinoids extracted from the NaBH4-treated metaretinochrome in membranes and analyzed with high-pressure liquid chromatography show a main peak of 11-cis retinol. The results of this and earlier (Seki et al., 1982) papers are summarized, and it is strongly suggested that metaretinochrome in the squid retina may play the role of 11-cis retinal donor for opsin and contribute to the synthesis of the squid rhodopsin.

An asymmetrical photochromic diarylethene1-(2-Methyl-3-benzothiophene)-2-[2-methyl-5-(3-fluoro-4-chloro) phenyl-3-thienyl] perfluorocyclopentene (1o) was synthesized and its phtochromic, fluorescent properties were investigated in detail. This compound exhibited remarkable photochromism, upon irradiation with 297 nm UV light, the colorless solution of 1o turned to violetred with a new visible absorption band centered at 538 nm (ε = 1.17 × 104 L mol-1 cm-1) attributable to the closed-ring isomer 1c. The kinetic experiments showed that the cyclization and cycloreversion processes were zeroth and first order reaction, respectively. Moreover, diarylethene 1o also exhibited obviously fluorescence switches along with the photochromism.The emission intensity of diarylethene 1o in a photostationary state was quenched to ca. 27% in hexane.

A novel photochromic diarylethene was synthesized and its photochromic and fluorescent properties were investigated. The results showed that this compound exhibited reversible photochromism, changing from colorless to amaranth after irradiation with UV light both in solution and PMMA amorphous film. In hexane, compound 1a exhibited an absorption peak at 266 nm, upon irradiation with 297 nm light, a new visible absorption band centered at 530 nm emerged while the original peak at 266 nm decreased. In PMMA amorphous film, diarylethene 1a also showed good photochromism as similar to that in solution. The photochromic reaction kinetics indicated that the cyclization processes of 1a belong to the zeroth order reaction and the cycloreversion process belong to the first order reaction. Diarylethene 1a also exhibited good fluorescent switching both in solution and in PMMA film upon alternating irradiation with UV and visible light.

A series of absorption spectroscopy measurements have been conducted on photo responsive Disperse Red 1 (DR1) films vacuum deposited at different substrate temperatures, with and without the presence of external poling field. Compared with the spectrum in solution, the spectra of DR1 films are generally featured by a pronounced depression of the visible absorption band and the appearance of a new peak at considerably shorter wavelength. A further depression of the absorption band and enhancement of the new peak are observed in the films deposited at higher substrate temperatures or in the presence of poling electric field, without showing, however, visible increase of the corresponding blue shift. These changes are attributed to increased portion of the vertically oriented DR1 molecules without resulting in higher packing of the oriented molecules.

In a pulse radiolysis study of crystalline D2O ice, an intense infrared absorption band with λmax > 2350 nm has been found at low temperatures, in addition to the well-known visible absorption band of the trapped electron. The infrared band is also attributed to trapped electrons, partly because of its similarity to the electron absorption band found recently in some D2O glasses at low temperatures. The effects of temperature, dose per pulse, accumulated dose, and added NH4F, HF, and ND3 on the yields and decay kinetics of both bands have been investigated. It is concluded that the electron trap giving rise to the visible band is a vacancy which at low temperatures is radiation-produced by a two-step spur process. At temperatures close to the melting point the vacancy-trap probably exists before the radiation pulse at equilibrium concentration. The electron trap which gives rise to the infrared band is thought to be a cavity that occurs naturally in the perfect lattice. For previously unirradiated samples the infrared band decays by a second order process which is remarkably fast [Formula: see text] The decay reaction is probably neutralization by D2O+. Doping with NH4F increases the yield of the infrared absorption and greatly decreases its decay rate. The total yield of localized electrons in irradiated crystalline D2O is higher than has been generally recognized.

This paper investigates the photocatalytic characteristics of Ag nanowire (AgNW)/TiO2 and AgNW/TiO2/graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites. Samples were synthesized by the direct coating of TiO2 particles on the surface of silver nanowires. As-prepared AgNW/TiO2 and AgNW/TiO2/GO nanocomposites were characterized by electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, UV/visible absorption spectroscopy, and infrared spectroscopy. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) images confirmed the successful deposition of TiO2 nanoparticles on the surface of AgNWs. The photocatalytic activity of synthesized nanocomposites was evaluated using Rhodamine B (RhB) in an aqueous solution as the model organic dye. Results showed that synthesized AgNW/TiO2/GO nanocomposite has superior photocatalytic activities when it comes to the decomposition of RhB.
