A crystal violet (CV) standard was irradiated under a Hg-Cd lamp for different exposure times to obtain various N-demethylation products. CZE effectively separated the photodegradation products based on molecular weight differences. In contrast, micellar EKC (MEKC), using SDS as the surfactant, was ineffective because the binding constants of the demethylation products and SDS were too close for separation. Nevertheless, MEKC analysis of ink has applications in forensic science because MEKC separated neutral components in the inks. Thus, MEKC can be used to obtain an ink "fingerprint" since each ink is unique depending on the location and time it was made. In contrast, CZE is useful for dating inks because CV is the primary ink dye and it photodegrades slowly.
Characteristic mass fragmentation of 20 phenethylamine/tryptamine standards were investigated and compared by means of matrix assisted laser desorption/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI/TOFM), gas chromatography-electron ionization-mass spectrometry (GC-EI/MS) and liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization/mass spectrometry (LC-ESI/MS) methods. As a result, three characteristic peaks ([M] + and fragments from the C β-C α bond breakage) were found to be unique and contained information useful in identifying 2C series compounds based on the GC-EI/MS method. We found that the protonated molecular ion ([M+H] +) and two types of fragments produced from the α-cleavage and β-cleavage processes were useful mass spectral information in the rapid screening and confirmation of phenethylamine and tryptamine derivatives when ESI/MS and MALDI/TOFMS methods were applied. This assay was successfully used to determine samples that contain illicit drugs.
In the paper, a novel perovskite microcrystalline with a capsule-free cavity box structure was creatively prepared through solvent thermal reaction, and the composition and structure of CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite microcrystalline were further characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) element mapping. The SEM results show that the grain size of the prepared CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite microcrystalline is more than 100 μm. Furthermore, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was used to characterize the material decomposition of perovskite microcrystals before and after 150 d of air aging. The XRD results indicate the prepared perovskite microcrystalline could be stably preserved in the air for 150 d without degradation. Our method provides technical guidance for further enriching the morphology of CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite microcrystalline.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
