Syntheses and Structures of Three Hybrid Materials Using Vanadium Polyoxoanions and Macrocyclic Copper Complex as Building Blocks

The reactions of the four-coordinated macrocyclic copper complex [CuL]（ClO4）2（L = 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane） with NH4VO3 under different conditions gave three inorganic-organic hybrid materials of [CuL][VO3]2·2.33H2O（1）, [CuL]3[V（10）O（28）]·8H2O（2） and [Cu L]3[V6O（18）]·8H2O（3）. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that three diverse vanadium polyoxoanions, [V6O（18）]6- ring, [V（10）O（28）]6- cluster, and [V（12）O（35）]^10- ring, were isolated from the same reactant NH4VO3 under different conditions. The [CuL]^2＋ bridges the [V10O28]6- clusters to form a two-dimensional sheet in 2, and link the [V6O（18）]^6- rings in 1 and [V（12）O（35）]^10- rings in 3 into three-dimensional frameworks, respectively.

Preparation, Characterization and Luminescent Properties of MCM-41 Type Materials Impregnated with Rare Earth Complex

Hybrid materials incorporating Eu-(TTA)(3). 2H(2)O (7hereafter designated as Eu-TTA, with TTA: thenoyltrifluoroacetone) in unmodified or modified MCM-41 by 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APTES) were prepared by impregnation method. The obtained materials were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), IR and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and luminescence spectra. All the hybrid samples exhibited the characteristic emission bands of EU3+ under UV light excitation at room temperature, and the excitation spectra showed significant blue-shifts compared to the pure rare-earth complex. Although the red emission intensity in the modified hybrid was almost the half of the red emission intensity in the pure Eu-TTA complex at room temperature, the hybrid showed a much higher thermal stability due to the shielding character of the MCM-41 host.

Two Near-infrared Emissive Lanthanide-based Metal-organic Complexes Constructed from Efficient Energy Transfer Ligand

Utilizing two polycarboxylic acids as primary ligands and 1,10-phenanthrolion as an auxiliary ligand in the existence of lanthanide nitrates, two lanthanide-based complexes formulated as [Nd4（2,6-pydc OH）6（Phen）4（H2O）2]（H2O）2（1） and [Yb2（mBDC）3（Phen）2]n（2）（2,6-H2 pydc OH = 4-hydroxypyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid, m-H_2BDC = isophthalic acid, Phen = 1,10-phenanthroline） have been solvothermally synthesized. They have been fully characterized by satisfactory elemental analysis, FT-IR spectra, TGA and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction study reveals that 1 has a zero-dimensional structure and 2 exhibits a rare cds topological net structure. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibit strong characteristic emissions of Nd（Ⅲ） and Yb（Ⅲ） ions in the near-infrared（NIR） region.

Thermoviscoelastic Analysis of Stress in Composite Structures Micro-to-Structural Approach

Manufacturing of composite materials is usually accompanied with residual stresses.These stresses should be evaluated and assessed.To this end,a micromechanical model for periodic material whose temperature dependent constituents behave as thermorheologically complex materials(TCM)has been developed.This model,referred as the high fidelity generalized method of cells(HFGMC),takes into account the detailed interaction between the fiber and resin,their volume ratios,the fibers distribution and their waviness.This model is linked,in conjunction with a special UMAT subroutine,to the ABAQUS finite element code for prediction of the response of thermoviscoelastic composite structures during cool down process.The present investigation shows the effect of the cool down rate on the residual stress developed in the composite cylindrical structures.

A Quantitative Description of Complex Adaptive System:The Self-Adaptive Mechanism of the Material Purchasing Management System Towards the Changing Environment

This paper demonstrates a new interpretation of the material purchasing management system(MPMS) from the perspective of complex adaptive systems(CAS).Within the framework of CAS,the authors design the self-adaptive mechanism of the MPMS responding to the changing environment,such as the change of the price,by using risk measurement theory,modern portfolio theory(MPT) and the information of the material's modifying priority.As a bottom-up systems view,CAS focuses on the individual level and studies system's overall complexity by analyzing the mutual competition and adaptation among the individuals.This paper demonstrates a quantitative description of CAS by discussing the MPMS which can be viewed as a kind of CAS,and makes numerical simulations of Daqing oilfield MPMS.Compared to the benchmarks,the authors set the simulations show that the self-adaptive mechanism adapts well to the change of the material's market price.Hence,this paper accomplishes a numerical simulation of CAS's quantitative self-adaptive mechanism responding to the environment's change.

A Sensitive Material for Specifically Treating Tetracycline in Water Environment

There are currently many materials for treating residual antibiotics in the environment, but none of them can specifically remove antibiotics. In addition, these materials are not sensitive enough to low concentrations of antibiotics. Here we show that a sensitive and specific material was developed by the preparation of magnetic Fe_(3)O_(4)-PAMAM-antibody complexes for treating tetracycline. The prepared antibody complexes can specifically treat tetracycline from aqueous solutions and the tetracycline removal ability by adsorption was also investigated. Controlled experiments were carried out with the effects of solution pH, temperature, and initial concentration of the tetracycline. The tetracycline was completely removed within 35 min at room temperature 30 ℃ with the maximum removal rate of almost 100%. Therefore, this material for specifically combining antigen and antibody to treat tetracycline indicated good application prospects for the waste water treatment.
