A transformation process of ozone on different iron oxides suspensions, including α-Fe2O3, α-FeOOH, Fe3O4, was carried out using FTIR of adsorbed pyridine, ATR-FTIR and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra with isotope 18O3. It was verified that on the surface isolated hydroxyl groups and the surface hydroxyl groups without acid sites of these iron oxides, ozone was electrostatically adsorbed and did not interact with the surface of these oxides, stably existed as ozone molecule. In contrast, ozone could replace the surface hydroxyl groups on Lewis acid sites of oxides, and directly interacted with the surface metal ions, decomposing into reactive oxygen species (ROS) and initiating the surface metal redox. The results indicate that Lewis acid sites were active center while the electronic cycle of the Fe2+/Fe3+ is advantageous to promote ozone decomposition into O2•− and •OH radicals. The mechanism of catalytic ozonation in different surface acid sites of iron oxides aqueous suspension was proposed on the basis of all experimental information.

A series of schiff base derivatives with salicylaldehyde moieties were designed and synthesized. This materials exhibit typical AIE properties and high fluorescence quantum yields in an aggregated state based on excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) mechanism. Then, the effect of substituted group types and positions on the fluorescence of these novel compounds was investigated through fluorescence spectra analysis and theoretical calculations. And it was found that the salicyaldehyde derives can be used as potential pH and Zn 2+ sensing.A series salicyaldehyde derives with AIE properties were designed and synthesized, which can be used as potential pH and Zn 2+ sensing.
