Sensory hybrid host materials for the selective chromo-fluorogenic detection of biogenic amines

A family of N-crowned 4-p-(aminophenyl)-2,6-diphenylpyridines DA (1-6) has been synthezised, characterized, and studied as potential hosts for the signaling of cationic and anionic guests. The ditopic probes contain two coordination sites, a monodentate 2,6-diphenylpyridine and an anilino group with macrocycles of different ring size, denticity, and type of secondary heteroatom (O and/or S). X-ray structure analysis of aza-oxa-thia-crowned 5 indicated a largely planar chromophore. Optical spectroscopic and electrochemical studies revealed that the anilino-type donor (D) and the 2,6-diphenylpyridine acceptor (A) are strongly -conjugated, entailing intense intramolecular charge-transfer absorption bands at 340 nm. Binding studies with protons and metal ions (M = Cu2+, Zn2+, Hg2+, Fe3+, Pb2+, Ni2+, Cd2+) showed shifts of the band to the visible (440 nm) when coordination at the pyridine group occurs, strengthening its acceptor character. In contrast, no band in the visible is formed if binding takes place at the anilino group. Three different responses were found for various pairs of DA and M: selective metal coordination to D or A as well as coordination at both sites. A selective response was found for 5 and Hg2+. Because of the multitude of coordination-induced effects, the DA-M ensembles were further employed for differential anion sensing. In this protocol, the addition of an anion X to a certain, weakly coordinated DA-M can (i) lead to the formation of a ternary ion pair complex (DA-M-X), (ii) change the preference for A or D coordination, (iii) induce dissociation of the complex, or (iv) can have no effect. Various patterns of absorption changes were obtained as a result of different responses (i)-(iv) of the DA-M's in the presence of various X's. Data analysis yielded recognition patterns for acetate, F- and CN-, demonstrating the potential of simple chromogenic host-guest pairs for differential anion signaling.
Current standards governing the design, qualification and in-service inspection of carbon fibre composite cylinders do not facilitate to optimise cylinder design. The requirements have been adapted from standards for metallic cylinders and cannot easily quantify the degradation processes in composite materials. In this article, the results of hydraulic and hydrogen pressure cycle life tests performed on composite reinforced tanks with a metal liner (type 3) and with a high density polymer liner (type 4) are shown. Moreover, the degradation measured by means of residual strength of the tanks after the cycling tests have been compared. It has been found that the most critical aging for metal based composite cylinder is the gaseous cycling while type 4 designs seem to be more sensitive to hydraulic cycling at high temperature.
