Organic modified sol-gel glass with tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), methyl triethoxysilane (MTEOS) and vinyltriethoxysilane (VTEOS) as raw material, ethanol as solvent and nitric acid as catalytic agent have been prepared. The influence caused by the amount of catalytic agent, water and the ratio of TEOS/MTEOS or TEOS/VTEOS on properties of porosity has been investigated. The optimal ration of MHNO3/MTEOS and Mwater/MTEOS were obtained. The modification of sol-gel glass using organic groups results in some decrease of porosity.
A pyridinium dye with N-butyl-carbazole as an electron donor group and pyridinium cation as electron acceptor group has been synthesized. The crystal structure and photophysical properties of the dye in different solvents are researched. The interaction between the dye and DNA is also researched. The results reveal that the dye can be used as a DNA probe.
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.
