Topography Structure and Scanning Tunneling Spectrum of Nickel( Ⅱ )-tetraphenylporphyrin Molecules on Au(111)

Scanning tunneling microscopy （STM） and scanning tunneling spectroscopy （STS） were performed on monolayer film of NiTPP supported on Au（111） under ultrahigh vacuum （UHV） conditions. The constant current STM images show remarkable bias dependence. High resolution STM data clearly show the individual NiTPP molecules and allow easy differentiation between NiTPP and CoTPP reported before. Scanning tunneling spectra, as a function of molecule-tip separation, were acquired over a range of tip motion of 0.42 nm. Spectra do not show the variation in band splitting with tip distance. It appears for molecules such as NiTPP that the average potential at the molecule is essentially the same at the same metal substrate. For molecules of the height of NiTPP, the scanning tunneling spectra should give reliable occupied and unoccupied orbital energies over a wide range of tip-molecule distances.

Nickel(Ⅱ) removal from water using silica-based hybrid adsorbents:Fabrication and adsorption kinetics

A series of novel silica-based hybrid adsorbents were prepared by the crosslinking reaction of N-[3- （trimethoxysilyl）propyl] ethylene diamine （TMSPEDA） with epichlorohydrin （ECH） via a sol-gel process. Fourier transform infrared （FTIR） spectra confirmed that the reaction occurred. TGA curves showed that the thermal stability of these hybrid adsorbents reached as high as 180 ℃. As a typical example, the adsorption performance of nickel（U） ions onto an adsorbent （the volume ratio of TMSPEDA and ECH was 4：1 ） was explored. It was found that the adsorption of nickel（Ⅱ） ions onto this adsorbent followed the Lagergren pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The investigation of the adsorption mechanism demonstrated that nickel（Ⅱ） adsorption was chiefly controlled by diffusion-chemisorption, suggesting that more diffusion processes were involved in the adsorption of nickel（Ⅱ） ions onto this type of adsorbents. Desorption experiment indicates that these hybrid adsorbents can be regenerated. These findings reveal that this type of silica-based hybrid adsorbent is promising in the separation and recovery of nickel（Ⅱ） ions from Ni-containing wastewater or contaminated water.
