Electrochemical polymerization in liquid crystal was conducted with 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrachloroferrate (BMITF), which is a paramagnetic character having a large magnetic susceptibility, as a supporting salt. The polymer films thus obtained had magnetism because BMITF remains in the films as a dopant. Poly(2,2′-bithiophene) and poly(bis-(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)) were prepared in nematic or cholesteric liquid crystal with BMITF by electrochemical polymerization. Transcription of the liquid crystal structure was succeeded with a small amount of BMITF. Blush or fingerprint structures were confirmed by polarizing optical microscopy observation. The addition of the excess amount of BMITF broke the structure of the liquid crystal. Poly(2,2′-bithiophene) transcribed the cholesteric liquid crystal structure showed a negative Cotton effect, indicating with left-handed helical structure. Poly(bis-(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)) transcribed the cholesteric liquid crystal structure showed a positive Cotton effect, indicating the polymer forms a right-handed helical structure.

The light energy is absorbed by the organic part of the molecule of the complex, then there is an intramolecular energy transfer from the organic ligand to the Yb(III) ion. During the sorption of Yb(III) on the solid matrix, the intermolecular energy transfer is suppressed, which provides the increase of the luminescence intensity, and the effect of selective preconcentration is achieved. Promising materials for solid-phase spectrofluorimetry are natural zeolites. Sorbed Yb(III) on these natural nanomaterials retains the ability to interact with organic ligands. In order to develop a sorption-luminescent method for the determination of Yb, the ability to luminescence of Yb(III) ions sorbed on natural Transcarpathian clinoptilolite in combination with 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (PAN) was studied. Luminescence composition «clinoptilolite-Yb(III)-PAN» is observed in the IR region of the spectrum with a maximum λ=978 nm. Luminophore samples were excited by a laser with λ=532 nm. The optimal conditions for obtaining this luminophor have been found. To prepare an effective luminophor «clinoptilolite-Yb(III)-PAN» it is necessary to use precalcined at 300 о C samples of clinoplololite, heated at 50 о C samples «clinoptilolite-Yb(III)», and the final luminophor heated at 50 о C. Sorption of Yb(III) on clinoptilolite is carried out from weakly alkaline solutions at pH 9.0. The developed sorption-luminescent method allows to determine Yb in the presence of 10-fold excess of La(III) and Eu(III), as well as 5-fold excess of Lu(III), Tm(III), Gd(III), Pr(III), Tb(III) with a detection limit of 5.0 ng·mL -1 . The method is tested on model solutions and intermetallics. The method provides a high enrichment factor, a wide concentration range of Yb determination (12.5-1000 ng·mL -1 ).","PeriodicalId":18758,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Crystals and Liquid Crystals","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90380059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
