Based on 15-crown-5 functionalized CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs), we report a novel fluorogenic sensor to probe K+ ions in H2O; recognition of K+ can be achieved via the Förster type of energy transfer between two different color QDs, so that [K+] of the order of 10(-6) M can be promptly detected.

Sustainable synthesis and dual adsorption of methyl orange and cadmium ions using biogenic silica-based fibrous silica functionalized with crown ether ionic liquid.
J Colloid Interface Sci
February 2025
Independent Researcher, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
In pursuit of sustainable nanomaterial production, this study presents a novel biogenic fibrous silica sphere functionalized with a crown ether ionic liquid for advanced dual-adsorption of methyl orange and Cd(II) from aqueous solution. Sorghum waste serves as the silica source in the adsorbent preparation process, ensuring an eco-friendly approach. The benzo-15-crown-5 ionic liquid is coupled to thiol-functionalized fibrous silica spheres through an efficient thiol-ene click reaction.

The preparation of sodium isopropyl(trimethylsilyl)amide (NaPTA), sodium (1-phenylethyl)(trimethylsilyl)amide (NaPETA), sodium -butyl(trimethylsilyl)amide (NaBTA), and isotopologues [N]NaPTA and [N]NaBTA are described. Solution structural studies using a combination of Si NMR spectroscopy, the Method of Continuous Variations, and density functional theory computations provided insights into aggregation and solvation in a range of solvents including toluene, ,-dimethylethylamine, triethylamine, MTBE, THF, 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME), diglyme, ,,','-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA), ,,','-tetramethylcyclohexanediamine (TMCDA), ,,',″,″-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (PMDTA). 12-crown-4, 15-crown-5, and 18-crown-6 revealed solvent- and substituent-dependent dimer-monomer mixtures with affiliated solvation numbers.

CuZnSnS (CZTS) is strong candidate for hole transport in perovskite light emitting diodes (PeLEDs) due to their cost-effectiveness, deep highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), and high hole mobility. However, its inherent polymetallic ions usually deteriorate the quality of the perovskite emission layer (EML) affecting device performance. In this study, a bidirectional anchoring strategy is proposed by adding 15-crown-5 ether (15C5) into CZTS hole transport layer (HTL) to suppress the reaction between HTL and EML.

Solution structures of potassium hexamethyldisilazide [KHMDS] and labeled [N]KHMDS were examined using a number of analytical methods including Si NMR spectroscopy and density functional theory computations. A combination of N-Si couplings, Si chemical shifts, and the method of continuous variations reveals dimers, monomers, and ion pairs. Weakly coordinating monofunctional ligands such as toluene, -dimethylethylamine, and EtN afford exclusively dimers.

Herein, we report the synthesis and sensing characteristics of 4,4'-methoxy-substituted BODIPY fluorescent probes (O-BODIPYs) 3, 4 and 5 equipped with differently sized benzo-crown ethers (cf. Scheme 1, 3 (benzo-15-crown-5), 4 (benzo-18-crown-6) and 5 (benzo-21-crown7)). O-BODIPYs 3, 4 and 5 exhibited in comparison to their known F-BODIPY analogues 3a, 4a and 5a (cf.
