Synthesis and Fluorescence Properties of Eu2+-Doped KMgF3 Nanoparticles

The phase diagram of a cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide( CTAB)/n-butanol/n-octane/KNO3-Mg( NO3)(2) system was drawn. Nanoparticles of Eu2+-doped KMgF3 were prepared from the quaternary microemulsions of cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide(CTAB), n-butanol, n-octane and water. The X-ray diffraction(XRD) patterns were indexed to a pure KMgF3 cubic phase. The environmental scanning electron microscopic (ESEM) images show the presence of spherical Eu2+-doped KMgF3 nanoparticles with a diameter of ca. 20 nm. The emission of KMgF3: Eu2+ nanoparticles peaks at 360 mn. The excitation band was observed at 250 nm with a blue shift of ca. 70 nm compared with that of KMgF3: Eu2+ single crystal. The preparation method of nano-KMgF3: Eu2+/PMMA composite films was inquired into.

Reaction of CH2Cl with O2

The elementary reaction of CH2Cl+O2 in gas phase was investigated by time-resolved FTIR emission spectroscopy. Vibrationally excited products CO (v 4), and CO2 (3, v 7) were observed. The yield ratio of CO/CO2(3) was 72.27. The reaction pathways were studied theoretically at QCISD//UB3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level. In the beginning of the reaction, CH2Cl radical associated with O2 to form CH2ClOO, followed by removal of the Cl atom to yield another intermediate dioxirane CH2OO. Subsequently, a series of isomerization and decomposition of the CH2OO took place, yielding the final products of CO and CO2. The calculated result was in consistent with the experimental observation.
