Sensitive Spectrofluorimetric Method for Determination of Fluoroquinolones through Charge-Transfer Complex Formation

A sensitive spectrofluorimetric method was developed for determination of ciprofloxacin (CPFX), levofloxacin (LEV), gatifloxacin (GAT) and moxifloxacin (MOX) in pure, commercial formulations, human urine and plasma. The method is based on charge-transfer (CT) complex with chloranilic acid. Fluorescence intensity of the complexes was measured at emission wavelength ranging from 445-492 nm with excitation wavelengths from 285-330 nm. At optimum experimental conditions, a linear calibration plot was obtained in the concentration range of 20-1000 ng·mL-1, 60-320 ng·mL-1, 20-800 ng·mL-1 and 20 -00 ng·mL-1 for CPFX, LEV, MOX and GAT, respectively with good correlation coefficient in the range of 0.9929-1.0 in methanolic medium. The limit of detection and limit of quantification were found to be 5 ng·mL-1 and 18 ng·mL-1 for CPFX, 12 ng·mL-1 and 40 ng·mL-1 for LEV, 8 ng·mL-1 and 19 ng·mL-1 for MOX, 6 ng·mL-1 and 19 ng·mL-1 for GAT, respectively. The method was found free of interferences from excipients used as additive in pharmaceutical preparations, some common cations and compounds present in urine and plasma as well as co-administered analgesic, vitamins and other drugs. The method was successfully applied for quantification of selected fluoroquinolones in commercial formulations and also in spiked human urine and plasma samples with percent recoveries of 100.0 ± 1.56 and 100.2 ± 1.29 respectively.

Fabrication of Semiconductor Polymer Membranes Combined with a Colored Charge Transfer Complexes Used in the Manufacture of Solar Cells as a Source of Alternative Energy

The main task of this article was to prepared of new pigment model in situ solar cells accordance to charge-transfer complexes of rhodamine C(RhC) donor as dye laser gain media with iodine(σ-acceptor) and chloranilic acid, CLA(π-acceptor). The synthesis stoichiometry of these complexes were of 1∶2(donor∶acceptor) with general formulas [(RhC)]I·I3 and [(RhC)(CLA)2]. The discussed data of elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, FT-IR, UV-Vis spectroscopy and photometric titration data visualized the stoichiometry, formula and complexity of the complexes. The physicochemical and spectroscopic analyses obtained suggested that the electron transfer occurred through nitrogen atom in a tertiary amine —N(C2H5)2 of RhC donor with acceptor. The synthesized solid complexes were under go to thermogravimetric analyses to investigate their thermal stability and decomposition steps. The molar conductance measurements revealed that RhC complexes have an electrolytic statement. The thermal stability of rhodamine C complexes was enhanced in comparable with RhC itself. The polymer membranes of poly-methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) combined with the RhC charge(transfer complexes in chloroform solvent have been prepared and characterized by(infrared & electronic) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) morphological examination. The photo-stability properties of the RhC complexes have been investigated.

REACTIVITY RATIOS FOR COPOLYMERIZATION WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF A CHARGE-TRANSFER COMPLEX

The complexation between styrene (St) and N-phenylmaleimide (PMI) was investigated by H-1-NMR spectroscopy, and the existence of a complex was proved. The equilibrium constant of St/PMI in chloroform at 50 degrees C was determined to be 0.27. New elementary propagation reactions were proposed. On the basis of the propagation elementary reactions for copolymerization with the participation of a charge-transfer complex (CTC), a method for measuring the reactivity ratios is presented. Four reactivity ratios and relative reactivities of free monomer and CTC were obtained. They are r(12) = 0.034, r(21) = 0.012, r(1C) = 0.0030, r(2C) = 0.0034, and k(1C)/k(12) = 11.34, k(2C)/k(21) = 3.42.

Metformin(Met)is a drug developed for the treatment of patients with typeⅡ diabetes.Recently,Met estimation in pharmaceutical formulations and human fluids has gained a growing interest.To extend requisite data that can be used to assessment of Met quantitatively based on charge-transfer(CT)complexation,the present study describes the synthesis and characterization of CT complexes that formed between drug Met and the organicπ-acceptors picric acid(PA),chloranilic acid(CLA),chloranil(CHL),7,7',8,8'-tetracyanoquinodimethane(TCNQ),and dichlorodicyanobenzoquinone(DDQ).The properties of the formed CT complexes were investigated by elemental,spectral(UV-visible,IR,and Raman spectroscopies),thermal(TG)and morphological(SEM)studies.IR results indicated that the complexation of Met with either PA or CLA acceptors occurs through proton transfer interaction,whereas its complexation with CHL,TCNQ,or DDQ acceptors occurs through n→π*interaction.

Spectroscopic Analysis and Study of Charge Transport Properties for Pinacyanol Chloride-Organic Acceptor Complex as Potential Optoelectronics Material

Organic photoconductor, pinacyanol chloride, has been studied with infrared spectroscopy because of its thermal activation energy (Ea) and band gap (Eg = 2Ea) lying in the infrared range. Particularly, pinacyanol chloride and its charge transfer (CT) complexes with chloranil, DDQ, TCNQ and TCNE as organic acceptors are studied in details. The CT complexes are having neither two absorption edges like ternary complex having one donor and two acceptors nor binary type with Lorentzian or Gaussian envelopes. The forbidden gap is direct band gap except chloranil complex due to increase in molecular distance and CT interaction. There is imperfect nesting and partial screening determining the mid-IR envelope, which is qualitatively different from the envelopes in binary systems. There is inverted parabola in some range below this envelope. It is explained how infrared absorption is related with the applications of such organic photoconductors in optoelectronic devices.

Phosphorescent Cationic Iridium（Ⅲ） Complexes with 1,3,4-Oxadiazole Cyclometalating Ligands： Solvent-Dependent Excited-State Dynamics

To elucidate the nature of low-lying triplet states and the effect of ligand modifica- tions on the excited-state properties of functional cationic iridium complexes, the solvent- dependent excited-state dynamics of two phosphorescent cationic iridium（Ⅲ） complexes, namely [Ir（dph-oxd）2（bpy）]PF6 （1） and [Ir（dph-oxd）2（pzpy）]Pf6 （2）, were investigated by femtosecond and nanosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. Upon photoexcitation to the metal-to-ligand charge-transfer （MLCT） states, the excited-state dynamics shows a rapid process （τ-=0.7-3 ps） for the formation of solvent stabilized 3MLCT states, which significantly depends on the solvent polarity for both 1 and 2. Sequentially, a relatively slow process assigned to the vibrational cooling/geometrical relaxation and a long-lived phospho- rescent emissive state is identified. Due to the different excited-state electronic structures regulated by ancillary ligands, the solvation-induced stabilization of the 3MLCT state in 1 is faster than that in 2. The present results provide a better sight of excited-state relaxation dynamics of ligand-related iridium（Ⅲ） complexes and solvation effects on triplet manifolds.

Luminescent Properties of A Novel Terbium Complex Tb(o-BBA)_3(phen)

A novel rare earth complex of terbium ion with 2-benzoylbenzoic acid and 1, 10-phenathroline （Tb（o-BBA）3 （phen）, o-BBA-2-benzoylbenzoic acid, phen = 1, 10-phenathroline） was used as an electroluminescent material for the first time. The Tb complex was blended with poly（N-vinylcarbazole） （PVK） in different weight ratios and spinn to coated into films （noted as PVK ：Tb films）. The photoluminescence （PL） properties of films were investigated and the optimum weight ratio between PVK and Tb（o-BBA）3（phen） was found to be 3：1. Monolayer devices with the structure ITO/PVK： Tb/AI were fabricated and emitted green light, which was characteristic of Tb^3＋ emission. The results show that mecha- nisms for PL and EL are different. The PL is considered to be caused because of energy transfer and direct excitation to the Tb（o-BBA）3（phen） molecule, while EL is mainly on charging trapping.

Gaussian wave formalism model for propagation of charged-particle beam through a first-order optical systems

An elliptical Gaussian wave formalism model of a charged-particle beam is proposed by analogy with an elliptical Gaussian light beam. In the paraxial approximation, the charged-particle beam can be described as a whole by a complex radius of curvature in the real space domains. Therefore, the propagation and transform of charged-particle beam passing through a first-order optical system is represented by the ABCD-like law. As an example of the application of this model, the relation between the beam waist and the minimum beam spot at a fixed target is discussed. The result, well matches that from conventional phase space model, and proves that the Gaussian wave formalism model is highly effective and reasonable.

Density Functional Theory Study on the First Hyperpolarizabilities of Mono-and Bimetal Ir(Ⅰ)/Rh(Ⅰ)2,2'-Bidipyrrins Complexes

Metal complexes with excellent nonlinear optical（NLO） properties have attracted considerable attention. The geometry structure, electronic spectra and NLO properties of 2,2？-bidipyrrins（L） and mono-and bimetal Ir（I）/Rh（I）–L complexes have been investigated by density functional theory method. Our calculations revealed that L with planar configuration shows the largest first hyperpolarizability value, which is 2.2 to 5.5 times larger than that of others. It is attributed to the single direction of intramolecular charge transfer. When metal ions were embedded in ligands, the first hyperpolarizability values of mono-and bimetal Ir/Rh（I）–L complexes were smaller than that of L, and that of bimetal Ir/Rh（I）–L complexes were smaller than the corresponding monometallic Ir/Rh（I）–L. This is caused by the intramolecular charge transfer from multiple directions as well as the amount of charge transfer. On the other hand, on increasing the number of metal ions, the charge transfer in the opposite direction cancels each other more obviously. Our work would provide some theoretical reference for the second-order NLO responses of mono-and bimetal complexes.

A Band Theory Perspective on Molecular Orbitals in Complex Oxides

In view of the growing interest in molecular orbitals (MOs) encountered in certain complex oxides, we review some of their properties from the band theory perspective and provide detailed examples based on real materials. Our discussion includes some technical aspects of identifying MOs in electronic structure calculations and considers cases when MOs can be both orthogonal and non-orthogonal. We also describe orthonormalization of MOs, a procedure converting them into Wannier functions, and discuss the problem of Wannier functions possibly being rather spatially extended and how using MO, rather than atomic orbital, based effective Hamiltonians might be a better choice in describing certain strongly correlated systems as well as systems with strong electron-phonon coupling. Furthermore, we address the problem of strongly correlated MOs and how it can be treated in band theory calculations.

Building up 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D Polyiodide Frameworks by Finely Tuning the Size of Aryls on Ar-S-TTF in the Charge-Transfer （CT） Complexes of Ar-S-TTFs and Iodine

The arylthio-substituted tetrathiafuivalenes （Ar-S-TTFs） are electron donors having three reversible states, neutral, cation radical, and dica- tion. The charge-transfer （CT） between Ar-S-TTFs （TTF1--TTF3） and iodine （12） is reported herein. TTF1--TTF3 show the CT with 12 in the CH2C12 solution, but they are not completely converted into cation radical state. In CT complexes of TTF1--TTF3 with 12, the charged states of Ar-S-TTFs are distinct from those in solution. TTF1 is at cation radical state, and TTF2--TTF3 are oxidized to dication. The iodine components in complexes show various structures including 1-D chain of V-shaped （Is）-, and 2-D and 3-D iodine networks composed of 12 and （13）^- .
