Butyl-Methyl-Pyridinium Tetrafluoroborate Confined in Mesoporous Silica Xerogels: Thermal Behaviour and Matrix-Template Interaction.

ABSTRACT: Organic-inorganic silica composites have been prepared via acid catalyzed sol-gel route using tetramethoxysilan (TMOS) and methyl-trimethoxysilane (MTMS) as silica precursors and n-butyl-3-methylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate ([bmPy][BF₄]) as co-solvent and pore template, by varying the content of the ionic liquid (IL). Morphology of the xerogels prepared using the ionic liquid templating agent were investigated using scanning electron microscopy and small angle neutron scattering (SANS). Thermal analysis has been used in order to evaluate the thermal and structural stability of the materials, in both nitrogen and synthetic air atmosphere. In nitrogen atmosphere, the IL decomposition took place in one step starting above 150 °C and completed in the 150-460 °C temperature interval. In synthetic air atmosphere, the IL decomposition produced two-step mass loss, mainly in the 170-430 °C temperature interval. The decomposition mechanism of the IL inside the silica matrix was studied by mass spectrometric evolved gas analysis (MSEGA). The measurements showed that the degradation of the IL's longer side chain (butyl) starts at low temperature (above 150 °C) through a C-N bond cleavage, initiated by the nucleophilic attack of a fluorine ion.

Antibacterial performance of nanocrystallined titania confined in mesoporous silica nanotubes.

Project description:In this paper, we study synthesis and characteristics of mesoporous silica nanotubes modified by titanium dioxide, as well as their antimicrobial properties and influence on mitochondrial activity of mouse fibroblast L929. Nanocrystalized titania is confined in mesopores of silica nanotubes and its light activated antibacterial response is revealed. The analysis of the antibacterial effect on Escherichia coli. (ATCC 25922) shows strong enhancement during irradiation with the artificial visible and ultraviolet light in respect to the commercial catalyst and control sample free from the nanomaterials. In darkness, the mesoporous silica/titania nanostructures exhibited antibacterial activity dependent on the stirring speed of the suspension containing nanomaterials. Obtained micrograph proved internalization of the sample into the microorganism trough the cell membrane. The analysis of the mitochondrial activity and amount of lactate dehydrogenase released from mouse fibroblast cells L929 in the presence of the sample were determined with LDH and WST1 assays, respectively. The synthesized silica/titania antibacterial agent also exhibits pronounced photoinduced inactivation of the bacterial growth under the artificial visible and UV light irritation in respect to the commercial catalyst. Additionally, mesoporous silica/titania nanotubes were characterized in details by means of high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), XRD and BET Isotherm.

Crystal structure and thermal behaviour of pyridinium styphnate.

Project description:In the crystal structure of the title mol-ecular salt, C5H6N(+)·C6H2N3O8 (-) (systematic name: pyridinium 3-hy-droxy-2,4,6-tri-nitro-phenolate), the pyridin-ium cation and the 3-hy-droxy-2,4,6-tri-nitro-phenolate anion are linked through bifurcated N-H?(O,O) hydrogen bonds, forming an R 1 (2)(6) ring motif. The nitro group para with respect to phenolate ion forms an intra-molecular hydrogen bond with the adjacent phenolic -OH group, which results in an S(6) ring motif. The nitro group flanked by the phenolate ion and the phenolic -OH group deviates noticeably from the benzene ring, subtending a dihedral angle of 89.2?(4)°. The other two nitro groups deviate only slightly from the plane of the benzene ring, making dihedral angles of 2.8?(4) and 3.4?(3)°. In the crystal, the 3-hy-droxy-2,4,6-tri-nitro-phenolate anions are linked through O-H?O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [100]. These anionic chains, to which the cations are attached, are linked via C-H?O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional structure. Impact friction sensitivity tests and TGA/DTA studies on the title mol-ecular salt imply that it is an insensitive high-energy-density material.

Probing the Microenvironment in the Confined Pores of Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles.

Project description:The microenvironment inside of the pores of mesoporous silica nanoparticles is probed using spectroscopic techniques. The probe molecules are sealed inside of the pores by a nanovalve system that is capable of controlling the access to the pore and ensuring the exclusive probing of the pore environment without any interference from the probe molecules on the outer surface of the particles or from the surrounding solution. Rigidochromism studies are used to evaluate the rigidity of the solvent matrix inside of the pore, and dynamic fluorescence anisotropy experiments are employed to determine the rotational diffusion freedom of the probe molecule. The data show that those probe molecules are neither completely free to move nor tightly attached to the pore wall, and their mobility is changed by altering the charge of the pore wall.

Microfluidics-mediated self-template synthesis of anisotropic hollow ellipsoidal mesoporous silica nanomaterials.

Project description:Herein, a facile strategy was firstly developed to synthesize ellipsoidal mesoporous silica nanomaterials (MSNs) with well-ordered parallel channels along the short axis. A miniaturized microfluidic device with spiral-shaped channels was then chosen as a straightforward and general platform to produce the corresponding hollow counterparts of MSNs under mild conditions. Such reaction process carried out in a microfluidic system was further demonstrated to be more rapid and efficient than conventional batch method under equivalent experimental conditions. The evolution of hollow structure can be well-tuned by flow rates (i.e., etching time), providing new paradigm for rational design and engineering of anisotropic nanostructures.

NIR-Absorbing Mesoporous Silica-Coated Copper Sulphide Nanostructures for Light-to-Thermal Energy Conversion.

Project description:Plasmonic nanostructures, featuring near infrared (NIR)-absorption, are rising as efficient nanosystems for in vitro photothermal (PT) studies and in vivo PT treatment of cancer diseases. Among the different materials, new plasmonic nanostructures based on Cu2-xS nanocrystals (NCs) are emerging as valuable alternatives to Au nanorods, nanostars and nanoshells, largely exploited as NIR absorbing nanoheaters. Even though Cu2-xS plasmonic properties are not linked to geometry, the role played by their size, shape and surface chemistry is expected to be fundamental for an efficient PT process. Here, Cu2-xS NCs coated with a hydrophilic mesoporous silica shell (MSS) are synthesized by solution-phase strategies, tuning the core geometry, MSS thickness and texture. Besides their loading capability, the silica shell has been widely reported to provide a more robust plasmonic core protection than organic molecular/polymeric coatings, and improved heat flow from the NC to the environment due to a reduced interfacial thermal resistance and direct electron-phonon coupling through the interface. Systematic structural and morphological analysis of the core-shell nanoparticles and an in-depth thermoplasmonic characterization by using a pump beam 808 nm laser, are carried out. The results suggest that large triangular nanoplates (NPLs) coated by a few tens of nanometers thick MSS, show good photostability under laser light irradiation and provide a temperature increase above 38 °C and a 20% PT efficiency upon short irradiation time (60 s) at 6 W/cm2 power density.

4-tert-Butyl-pyridinium triiodide-4-tert-butyl-pyridine (1/1).

Project description:The title compound, C(9)H(14)N(+)·I(3) (-)·C(9)H(13)N, consists of monoprotonated 4-tert-butyl-pyridinium cations and triiodide anions. The triiodide ion has near-symmetric linear geometry, with bond lengths of 2.9105?(4)?Å (I-I) and a bond angle of 177.55?(3)° (I-I-I). For this room-temperature structure, the butyl group on the pyridine ring is disordered and has been treated as a rigid rotator, modeled in three separate positions with 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 occupancies. The cations assemble into dimeric forms by way of N-H?N hydrogen bonds.

Zero-valent Fe confined mesoporous silica nanocarriers (Fe(0)?@?MCM-41) for targeting experimental orthotopic glioma in rats.

Project description:Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) impregnated with zero-valent Fe (Fe(0)?@?MCM-41) represent an attractive nanocarrier system for drug delivery into tumor cells. The major goal of this work was to assess whether MSNs can penetrate the blood-brain barrier in a glioblastoma rat model. Synthesized MSNs nanomaterials were characterized by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, measurements of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and Mössbauer spectroscopy. For the detection of the MSNs by MR and for biodistribution studies MSNs were labeled with zero-valent Fe. Subsequent magnetometry and nonlinear-longitudinal-response-M2 (NLR-M2) measurements confirmed the MR negative contrast enhancement properties of the nanoparticles. After incubation of different tumor (C6 glioma, U87 glioma, K562 erythroleukemia, HeLa cervix carcinoma) and normal cells such as fibroblasts and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) MSNs rapidly get internalized into the cytosol. Intracellular residing MSNs result in an enhanced cytotoxicity as Fe(0)?@?MCM-41 promote the reactive oxygen species production. MRI and histological studies indicated an accumulation of intravenously injected Fe(0)?@?MCM-41 MSNs in orthotopic C6 glioma model. Biodistribution studies with measurements of second harmonic of magnetization demonstrated an increased and dose-dependent retention of MSNs in tumor tissues. Taken together, this study demonstrates that MSNs can enter the blood-brain barrier and accumulate in tumorous tissues.

Controlled Nutrient Delivery to Pancreatic Islets Using Polydopamine-Coated Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles

Project description:In the present study, we designed a nanoscale platform for the sustained and controlled delivery of nutrients to pancreatic islets-upon transplantation. Our platform consists of a mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSNP), loaded with glutamine (G), an essential amino acid required for islet survival and function, and capped with polydopamine (PD). To control the release of glutamine, various concentrations (0.5 - 2 mg/mL) of PD and incubation times (0.5 – 2 h) with MSNPs were investigated in terms of pharmacological properties and biological functions. After extensive testing, PD-G-MSNPs made using PD coating of 0.5 mg/mL incubated for 0.5 h resulted in the optimal platform to maintain the islet viability and functionality in vitro. Following syngeneic renal sub-capsule islet transplantation in STZ-diabetic mice, PD-G-MSNPs improved the engraftment of pancreatic islets as well as their function, resulting in re-establishment of glycemic control. Collectively, our data shows that PD-G-MSNPs can support transplanted islets by providing them with a controlled and sustained supply of nutrients.
