U6-E06. Malvern Zetasizer Nano ZS particle size analyzer

Malvern Zetasizer Nano ZS particle size analyzer.

Description: The Zetasizer Nano ZS is a molecular and particle size, surface charge, and molecular weight measurement system based on static light scattering (SLS), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and electrophoretic light scattering (ELS). ). These are rapid, accurate and repeatable measurement methods that do not require large sample volumes and are non-destructive.
SLS determines the molecular weight from different concentrations of a sample by applying the Rayleigh equation.
DLS uses the Brownian motion of particles, which move randomly in a liquid. Through established theories, the speed of diffusion is related to size.
ELS combines light scattering with electrophoresis, converting electrophoretic mobility into a measure of zeta potential.

A pyrene based dyad and triad leading to a reversible chemical and redox optical and magnetic switch

C. Franco, M. Mas-Torrent, A. Caballero, A. Espinosa, P. Molina, J. Veciana and C. Rovira
Chemistry A european Journal, 2015, 21, 5504 – 5509 DOI: 10.1002/chem.201405993

Two new pyrene-polychlorotriphenylmethyl (PTM) dyads and triads have been synthesized and characterized by optical, magnetic and electrochemical methods. The interplay between the different electronic states of the PTM moiety in the dyads and triads and the optical and magnetic properties of the molecules have been studied. The electronic spectra of the radicals show the intramolecular charge-transfer (ICT) transition at around 700 nm due to the acceptor character of the PTM radical. In the diamagnetic protonated derivatives, the fluorescence due to the pyrene is maintained, whereas in the radicals and the corresponding anions there is a clear quenching of the fluorescence. The redox activity of PTM radicals that are easily reduced to the corresponding carbanion has been exploited to fabricate electrochemical switches with optical and magnetic response.
