ABSTRACTWe have measured transition-metal ion (Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu) spectra and their effects on Nd fluorescence quenching in Nd-doped phosphate and silicate glasses. Our purpose was to determine the maximum allowable impurity content given particular limits on the absorption loss at 1053 nm and the Nd fluorescence quenching rate. To keep the absorption loss <0.1 m−1 the transition-metal impurity content should be kept below 0.5 ppmw. To keep the increase in the Nd fluorescence decay rate below 1%, the impurity content should be <3 ppmw. We have also found that the Nd quenching rates do not scale as predicted by the Forster- Dexter dipole-dipole energy transfer theory if we assume that the dominant variation with transition metal is the overlap integral of the Nd fluorescence spectrum and the transition-metal absorption. We suggest that phonon-assisted energy transfer to transition metals is effective in quenching Nd. We find that quenching rates increase 1.5 to 4 times as the Nd concentration increases from 0.5 to 10 × 1020 cm−2.

A series of cross-linked polyurethane samples, labeled with dyes suitable for fluorescence energy transfer experiments, were prepared (donor, phenanthrene; acceptor, anthracene). Fluorescence decay profiles for these samples were measured as a function of acceptor concentration. These decays obey Förster nonradiative energy transfer kinetics, with an energy transfer critical distance (R0) of 26.7 Å. Fluorescence intensities, calculated from the decays by integrating the decay profiles, also fit the Perrin model, with a quenching radius (Rs) of 25.6 Å. The fluorescence decay profiles were further examined with a distribution analysis method, which also revealed uniformly distributed donors and acceptors in the polymer matrices. Keywords: fluorescence quenching, fluorescence decay, phenanthrene, anthracene, polyurethane.

Description of redox reactions is critically important for understanding and rational design of materials for electrochemical technologies, including metal-ion batteries, catalytic surfaces, or redox-flow cells. Most of these technologies utilize redox-active transition metal compounds due to their rich chemistry and their beneficial physical and chemical properties for these types of applications. A century since its introduction, the concept of formal oxidation states (FOS) is still widely used for rationalization of the mechanisms of redox reactions, but there exists a well-documented discrepancy between FOS and the electron density-derived charge states of transition metal ions in their bulk and molecular compounds. We summarize our findings and those of others which suggest that density-driven descriptors are, in certain cases, better suited to characterize the mechanism of redox reactions, especially when anion redox is involved, which is the blind spot of the FOS ansatz.

Peracetic acid can be catalyzed to bleach cotton fibers at temperatures as low as 30°C by incorporating 2,2î-bipyridine in the bleach solution. Treatment of the fibers with HCl prior to bleaching reduces bleaching effectiveness by removing trace transition metal ions from the fibers. Sorption of individual ions (Cr+3 Mn+2, Fe+2, Fe+3 Co+2, Ni+2, Cu+2, and Zn+2) by HCl treated cotton fibers prior to bleaching indicates that the ferrous ion produces the greatest catalytic effect, and it is only effective when the metal ion is in the fiber as opposed to in solution. Ferrous ions in the fibers sorb 2,2î-bipyridine from solution to form the tris-2,2î-bipyridine ferrous ion complex that is associated with the fibers, and it is the trischelate associated with the fibers that catalyzes bleaching. The effects of pH, temperature, and concentrations of 2,2î-bipyridine, sodium lauryl sulfate, and transition metal ions (in the fibers and in solution) on bleaching effectiveness and peracetic acid decomposition have been studied, and a bleaching mechanism is proposed.

The exchange behaviour of some divalent transition metal ions M2+ (Zn2+, Cu2+, Ni2+, Co2+, Mn2+) in a zeolite NaX (SiO2/Al2O3 2.75) was studied at intermediate stages before equilibrium. The equivalent counter ion supply in the solution, given by the equivalent ratio of the two counter ions 2M2+/Na+, was found to be critical in determining the saturation level of exchange. The series of relative abilities of exchange was very similar to the well known selectivity series at equilibrium. It is suggested that water exchange of the metal ions in solution could be one of the factors controlling the relative ease of ion exchange.
