Journal of Solid State Chemistry, Nov 1, 2003

The unit cell of this material is trigonal, space group R3 (no. 146), Z=3, a=10.012, c=14.8413Å, γ=120°, V=1289Å3. The structure of AV-11 is built up of MO6 (M=Sn, Ti) octahedra and SiO4 tetrahedra by sharing corners. The SiO4 tetrahedra form helix chains, periodically repeating every six tetrahedra. These chains extend along the [001] direction and are linked by isolated MO6 octahedra, thus producing a mixed octahedral–tetrahedral oxide framework. AV-11 materials have been further characterized by bulk chemical analysis, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), 29Si and 119Sn magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy.

The thermal transformation of microporous zirconosilicates synthetic petarasite [AV-3, Na5Zr2Si6O18(Cl,OH)·2H2O] and synthetic umbite (AM-2, K2ZrSi3O9·H2O) has been studied by powder XRD, TGA, 29Si, and single- and triple-quantum 23Na MAS NMR. The structure of AV-8 and the structures of synthetic analogues of the dense minerals parakeldyshite (Na2ZrSi2O7) and wadeite (K2ZrSi3O9) obtained via calcination of AV-3 and AM-2, respectively, have been Rietveld refined and fully characterized by 29Si and 23Na solid-state NMR.

Research paper thumbnail of Hydrothermal Synthesis and Characterisation of Two Novel Large‐Pore Framework Vanadium Silicates

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and diffuse reflectance ultraviolet‐visible (DR UV/Vis) spectroscopy reveal that as‐prepared AM‐15 contains both VIV and VV in a square pyramidal and tetrahedral coordination, respectively, while AM‐17 contains predominantly octahedral VIV. The thermal stability of AM‐15 in air is modest (ca. 380 °C), while AM‐17 is stable up to 450 °C. The acid‐base and redox properties of AM‐17 have been assessed by the conversion of isopropanol and ethanol oxidation, respectively. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH &amp; Co.

The structure of these solids was elucidated by single-crystal (180 K) and powder X-ray diffraction and further characterized by chemical analysis, thermogravimetry, scanning electron microscopy, (29)Si MAS NMR, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The Er-AV-22 material is a room-temperature infrared phosphor, while Tb- and Eu-AV-22 are visible emitters with output efficiencies comparable to standards used in commercial lamps. The structure of these materials allows the inclusion of a second (or even a third) type of Ln(3+) ion in the framework and, therefore, the fine-tuning of their photoluminescent properties. For the mixed Tb(3+)/Eu(3+) materials, evidence has been found of the inclusion of Eu(3+) ions in the interlayer space by replacing K+ ions, further allowing the activation of Tb(3+)-to-Eu(3+) energy transfer mechanisms. The occurrence probability of such mechanisms ranges from 0.62 (a = 0.05) to 1.20 ms(-1) (a = 0.1) with a high energy transfer efficiency (0.73 and 0.84, respectively).

A symbiotic relationship between a photosynthetic microalga, Chlamydomonas debaryana, and a cellulose producer bacterium, Komagataeibacter saccharivorans, was established in order to obtain a viable and active biofilm. The effect of the growth media composition ratio on the produced living material was investigated, as well as the microalgae biomass quantity, temperature, and incubation time. The optimal temperature for higher symbiotic biofilm production was 30 °C with an incubation period of 14 days. The high microalgae presence, 0.75% w/v, and 60:40 HS:BG-11 medium (v/v) induced a biofilm microalgae incorporation rate of 85%. The obtained results report, for the first time, a successful symbiotic interaction developed in situ between an alkaline photosynthe...
