The TGA/Cd/Te molar ratios, reaction time, temperature and p H are the crucial factors for properties of QDs. The QDs were characterized by UVvis absorption and fluorescence spectra, transmission electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The experimental results show that when the p H value is 11.5 and molar ratio of TGA:Cd:Te is 1.2:1:0.4 at 100 ℃ heating for 15 min, the resulted QDs exhibit a high fluorescence quantum yield of 78%. The fluorescence full width at half maximum(FHMW) of QDs is around 23 nm. The products are spherical with average size of 3-5 nm. There is a strong coordination effect between TGA and Cd2+. Moreover, the results of interaction between as-made QDs and bovine serum albumin(BSA) suggest that the QDs-BSA binding reaction is a static quenching. The negative values of free energy(△G〈0) suggest that the binding process is spontaneous, △H〈0 and △S〈0 show that hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions play a major role in the binding reaction between QDs and BSA.展开更多

The ligand was characterized by means of ~1HNMR, IR, and GC-MS, and Zr complex was characterized by means of ~1HNMR and IR, respectively. The Zr complex, combined with co-catalyst of Al(i-Bu)_3, was explored to be effective catalytic system for the polymerization of butyl methacrylate(BMA), to prepare poly-n-butyl methacrylate(PBMA), which was characterized by IR, ~13C-NMR and GPC. Compared with other double-component(MAO/Cat, AlEt_3/Cat) catalytic systems, catalytic system of Al(i-Bu)_3 and the Zr complex provided the best catalytic activity under the same conditions. The influence of polymerization parameters, such as molar ratio of Al(i-Bu)_3/Cat and BMA/Cat, polymerization temperature and polymerization time, was studied with Zr complex/Al(i-Bu)_3 system. With increasing polymerization time from 4 to 24 hour, the monomer conversion increased from 40.14% to 96.56%. Viscosity-average molecular weight(M_v) of PBMA, detected by the viscosity methodology, increased from 12.67×10~4Da to 44.97×10~4Da and lower molecular weight distribution was obtained. According to these results, the Zr complex contained ligand of salicylaldehyde-imine was a kind of readily, long lifetime and high activity catalyst for BMA polymerization.展开更多
