In order to explore whether Ru can be replaced by inexpensive Fe in dye molecules for solar cells, the differences in the electronic structure of Fe- and Ru-based dyes are investigated by X-ray absorption spectroscopy and first-principles calculations. Molecules with the metal in a sixfold, octahedral N cage, such as tris(bipyridines) and tris(phenanthrolines), exhibit a systematic downward shi...

A theoretical description of micellar dye solutions containing donors and acceptors is developed. It is proved experimentally that the luminescent characteristics of Water-Triton X-100 solutions of Coumarine 1 as a donor and Rhodamine 6G as an acceptor are consistent with the proposed theory. It is shown that the probability of energy transfer between dye molecules and the number of detergent m...

The self-assembling tendency and protein complexation capability of dyes related to Congo red and also some dyes of different structure were compared to explain the mechanism of Congo red binding and the reason for its specific affinity for beta-structure. Complexation with proteins was measured directly and expressed as the number of dye molecules bound to heat-aggregated IgG and to two light ...

Crystals of C.I. Disperse Blue 354, a commercial methine disperse dye, were grown from an ethyl acetate and the crystal structure was determined. Results show that two aromatic planes are effectively coplanar with the dihedral angle of 10.61(11) degrees. The dicyanomethylene group is slightly twisted and two n-hexyl groups tend to be separated with one alkyl group being at the level of the arom...

We present a first-principles DFT investigation of the adsorption geometry on the anatase (101) surface of a prototypical di-branched organic dye based on the extended tetrathiafulvalene moiety, incorporating two anchoring cyanoacrylic acid units. Reduced model systems with one and two anchoring groups have been initially studied to investigate the vibrational frequencies related to TiO2 dye ad...

Abstract The long-term stability of aerobic granules is critical for decolourization different dyes in textile wastewater. Here, we investigated dye and the acetate-cultivated after exposure to dyes. Results show that can maintain excellent structure with presence azo triphenylmethane during a 200-day operation period, achieving biomass concentrations as high 8–12 g L−1 90% 100% efficiency, res...

New donor–π–acceptor pyrimidine-based dyes comprising an amide moiety as anchoring group have been designed. The were synthesized by sequential procedures based on the microwave-assisted Suzuki cross-coupling and bromination reactions. influence of dye structure length π-linker photophysical electrochemical properties photovoltaic effectiveness dye-sensitized solar cells was investigated. An in...

The interaction between methyl red (azo dye) and cetylpyridinium chloride (cationic surfactant) in the methanol-water system were studied using a spectrophotometric technique. Variable parameters like constant dye concentration its structure, surfactant concentration, pH, absorbance, solvent composition studied. Using UV-Vis technique, critical micelle concentrations (CMCs) of measured with red...

comaring the capability of photocatalyst nano zinc oxide process by two slurry and immobilized methods in dye acid orange 7 removal introduction everyday million liters of color wastewater are produced in different industries and cuases environmental problems. the textile industry significantly affects the environment, producing high volume of wastewater from water and chemicals used in process...
