Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy(NMR) were used to confirm the compounds' structures. The effect of silicon atom on the optical properties has also been studied. The UV-vis absorption wavelength of silicon-containing compound is about ca. 10 nm red-shifted when compared with that of other three compounds. The fluorescence emission bands of the compounds in CHCl_3 solutions were observed around ca. 440 nm. And the luminescent coordination compound, namely [AgL1?NO_3?3H_2O]n, based on the ligand 1-allyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3-triazole has been prepared. In addition, this complex exhibits a 1 D chain structure. The crystal structure has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and the optical properties have been investigated by fluorescence spectrum. In summary, our work may provide new materials with luminescent property which is potentially useful in material fields.展开更多

The mind of that reaction is used in biomolecules synthesis, pharmacological and various biometric applications. The first Click reaction is the Copper compounds-catalyzed reaction of an azide with an alkyne （CuAAC）, this copper-catalyzed ＂click＂ does not require legands on the metal but the metal oxides also can accelerate the reactions. For enhancement the products of Click reactions we were replacing the copper compounds in a classical reaction by the prepared nanocopper compound （NPs）. And measure the consumption of starting material. Behind the evolution is the catalytic effect of nanocopper compounding （NPs） on （H2O2）. Owing to the huge surface area of nanocopper compound （NPs）, it was found that： the （NPs） can speed up decomposition of H2O2, also can accelerate the classical click reaction.展开更多

Vanillin was selected to be the start material to produce new monomer called vanillin acrylate and abbreviated by (VA). It has been successfully investigated by 1H, 13C NMR, IR and UV and all results were in logic state. The next step was to synthetize three different thermo-responsive functional copolymers by incorporation of three different molar ratios of vanillin acrylate (10, 20, 30 mol%) with N-Isopropylacrylamide via free radical polymerization by AIBN as initiator in solution. All copolymers were deduced by 1NMR and IR and all showed the presence of aldehyde group. The copolymer was used for grafting of tryptophan and β-alanine through the chemical link between amino group and the active aldehyde group by click reactions to form Schiff’s base imine compounds. Moreover, polymers were also elucidated by 1HNMR, IR and UV, Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC) was used for the molecular weight determination, differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) for glass temperature of solid polymers, XRD for crystallinity. UV-vis Spectroscopy was used for the determination of phase separation or the lower critical solution temperature (Tc) of polymers solution not only in deionized water but in pH5 and pH11. The mount of conversation and linked amino acid was determined by UV-vis Spectroscopy.展开更多
