As a model system for intramolecular proton/hydrogen-transfer coordinates, the structure of 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid is investigated for the ground, first electronically excited and also the ionic state. Combined IR/UV spectroscopy in molecular-beam experiments is applied and the experimental results are interpreted by the application of DFT and CASPT2 methods. No proton or hydrogen transfer is observed, but evidence is given for a hydrogen dislocation of the intramolecular hydrogen bond in the S(1) state and to lesser extent in the D(0) state. To obtain direct information on the proton/hydrogen-transfer coordinate, IR spectra are recorded both in the region of the OH and especially the CO stretching vibrations by also applying two new variants of combined IR/UV spectroscopy for the S(1) and D(0) states. The CO groups are directly involved in the hydrogen bond and, in contrast to the hydrogen-bonded OH groups, the CO stretching frequencies can be observed in all electronic states.

The combination of 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-phenyl-1,3-butanedione (TFPB) and pyrazine (pyz) with Tb ions forms two distinct types of complexes, represented by the formulas [Tb(TFPB)(L)], where L is either HO or pyz, and [(Tb(TFPB))pyz]. A detailed examination of the impact of the surrounding environment on the photophysical properties of these synthesized complexes was conducted. Photoluminescence (PL) analysis indicated that the magnetic dipole transition (D → F) is dominant in Tb(iii)-based systems.

In recent years, stimulus responsive materials have received widespread attention. Under solvothermal conditions, three polyoxometalates-viologen organic-inorganic hybrid compounds were successfully constructed by combining a viologen ligand 1-(3-Nitro-benzyl)-[4,4']bipyridinyl-1-ium bromide (1,3-nibipy·Br) with octamolybdate, namely [Cu(1,3-nibipy)(HO)(β-MoO)]·2HO (1), [Cu(1,3-nibipy)(HO)(β-MoO)]·(β-MoO) (2) and (1,3-Hnibipy)·(β-MoO) (3). These three compounds can exhibit color changing properties under both light and electrical stimulation.

Background: Researchers have investigated different techniques for synthesis of carbon dots. These techniques include Arc discharge, laser ablation, oxidation, water/solvothermal, and chemical vapor deposition. However, these techniques suffer from some limitations like the utilization of gaseous charged particles, high current, high temperature, potent oxidizing agents, non-environmentally friendly carbon sources, and the generation of uneven particle size.

Biomass-based adsorbent materials are characterized by their low cost, environmental friendliness, and ease of design and operation. In this study, biomass-based hydrogel microspheres erbium alginate (SA/Er) with high stability and adsorption properties were prepared by a one-step synthesis method. The prepared materials were characterized and analyzed by SEM-EDS, XRD, TGA, FT-IR, UV-Vis, BET-BJH and XPS, and the adsorption performance of SA/Er was investigated for high concentrations of azo dyes in water.
