  • ENGINEERING CHEMISTRY for CIRCUIT BRANCHES Unit-3 NANO CHEMISTRY NANOCHEMISTRY
    19CH201 – ENGINEERING CHEMISTRY FOR CIRCUIT BRANCHES Unit-3 NANO CHEMISTRY NANOCHEMISTRY – SYLLABUS Basics – Distinction between molecules, Nanoparticles and Bulk materials; Size-dependent properties. Nanoparticles: Nano-cluster, Nanorod, Nanotube(CNT) and Nanowire. Synthesis: Precipitation, Thermolysis, Hydrothermal, Solvothermal, Electro-deposition, Chemical Vapour Deposition, Laser ablation; Properties and Application. INTRODUCTION Nanochemistry is a branch of nanoscience, deals with the chemical applications of nanomaterials in nanotechnology. Nanochemistry involves the study of the synthesis and characterization of materials of nanoscale size. Nanochemistry is a relatively new branch of chemistry concerned with the unique properties associated with assemblies of atoms or molecules of nanoscale (~1-100 nm), so the size of nanoparticles lies somewhere between individual atoms or molecules (the ‘building blocks’) and larger assemblies of bulk material which we are more familiar with. There are physical and chemical techniques in manipulating atoms to form molecules and nanoscale assemblies. Physical techniques allow atoms to be manipulated and positioned to specific requirements for a prescribed use. Traditional chemical techniques arrange atoms in molecules using well characterized chemical reactions. Nanochemistry is the science of tools, technologies, and methodologies for novel chemical synthesis e.g. employing synthetic chemistry to make nanoscale building P.GANESHKUMAR/AP/SNSCE/CHEMISTRY Unit-III Page 1 blocks of desired (prescribed) shape, size, composition and surface structure and possibly the potential to control the actual self-assembly of these building blocks to various desirable size. Nanoparticles have a high surface to volume ratio which has a dramatic effect on their properties compared to non-nanoscale forms of the same material. DEFINITIONS (i) Nanoparticles Nanoparticles are the particles, the size of which ranges from 1 to 50 nm.

  • The Bottom-Up Construction of Molecular Devices and Machines*
    Pure Appl. Chem., Vol. 80, No. 8, pp. 1631–1650, 2008. doi:10.1351/pac200880081631 © 2008 IUPAC Nanoscience and nanotechnology: The bottom-up construction of molecular devices and machines* Vincenzo Balzani‡ Department of Chemistry “G. Ciamician”, University of Bologna, 40126 Bologna, Italy Abstract: The bottom-up approach to miniaturization, which starts from molecules to build up nanostructures, enables the extension of the macroscopic concepts of a device and a ma- chine to molecular level. Molecular-level devices and machines operate via electronic and/or nuclear rearrangements and, like macroscopic devices and machines, need energy to operate and signals to communicate with the operator. Examples of molecular-level photonic wires, plug/socket systems, light-harvesting antennas, artificial muscles, molecular lifts, and light- powered linear and rotary motors are illustrated. The extension of the concepts of a device and a machine to the molecular level is of interest not only for basic research, but also for the growth of nanoscience and the development of nanotechnology. Keywords: molecular devices; molecular machines; information processing; photophysics; miniaturization. INTRODUCTION Nanotechnology [1–8] is a frequently used word both in the scientific literature and in the common lan- guage. It has become a favorite, and successful, term among America’s most fraudulent stock promot- ers [9] and, in the venture capital world of start-up companies, is perceived as “the design of very tiny platforms upon which to raise enormous amounts of money” [1]. Indeed, nanotechnology is a word that stirs up enthusiasm or fear since it is expected, for the good or for the bad, to have a strong influence on the future of mankind.

  • Nanochemistry Views Geoffrey A
    Nanochemistry Views Geoffrey A. Ozin Nanochemistry Views Geoffrey A. Ozin Materials Chemistry and Nanochemistry Research Group, Center for Inorganic and Polymeric Nanomaterials, Chemistry Department, 80 St. George Street, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5S 3H6 After more than four and a half decades of research in the field of nanochemistry I was given the interesting opportunity to write a monthly opinion editorial for the Nano Materials Views section of the VCH-Wiley materials journals, Advanced Science, Advanced Materials, Advanced Functional Materials, Small, Particle, Advanced Engineering Materials, Advanced Optical Materials and Advanced Health Materials. This chance provided me with a superb vehicle to express opinionated and provocative views about hot button issues in nanochemistry. Dreaming up and composing these editorials has been a valuable lesson in how to write scientifically, technologically and politically correct critiques about controversial topics for a public forum, a pastime less risky for a senior scientist than a junior one. After having produced 36 of these opinion editorials on a variety of contemporary topics in nanochemistry, I thought it worthwhile to integrate them into a compendium of essays in the form of a monograph entitled Nanochemistry Views as a three score years and ten plus one, milestone in my life. I hope the reader enjoys these stories as much as I had fun writing them and at the same time learning much from knowledgeable colleagues who contributed insightful and important commentaries on my opinions, sometimes voicing heterodox views, many of which in anonymous form I included in much improved final drafts. I also received terrifically helpful editing on more-or-less every story from my talented and dynamic group of co-workers as well as excellent artistic renditions of the content of many of the stories from Wendong Wang, Chenxi Qian and ArtScientist Todd Siler.

  • Physical, Chemical and Biological Enhancement in X-Ray Nanochemistry
    Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics Physical, Chemical and Biological Enhancement in X-ray Nanochemistry Journal: Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics Manuscript ID CP-PER-05-2019-003024.R1 Article Type: Perspective Date Submitted by the 28-Jun-2019 Author: Complete List of Authors: Guo, Ting; University of California, Davis, Chemistry Page 1 of 26 Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics Physical, Chemical and Biological Enhancement in X-ray Nanochemistry Ting Guo Department of Chemistry, University of California, Davis, CA 95616 Abstract X-ray nanochemistry studies how to use nanomaterials and particularly how to create new nanomaterials to increase effects of X-rays such as chemical reactivity, damage to cells, tumor destruction, scintillation and more. The increase, also called enhancement, can be categorized into several groups, and the current categorization of enhancement follows a natural division of physical, chemical and biological enhancement based on how nanomaterials behave under X-ray irradiation. In physical enhancement, electrons released from atoms in the nanomaterials upon X-ray ionization interact with the nanomaterials and surrounding media to increase the effects. Scintillation also belongs to this category. Chemical enhancement results when reactive oxygen species (ROS) or reactive radical intermediates (RRI) produced in aqueous solutions under X-ray irradiation interact with the surface of catalytic nanomaterials to increase the effects. When the damage of cells is enhanced through biological pathways beyond the abovementioned physical or chemical enhancement due to the presence of nanomaterials under X-ray irradiation, the enhancement is called biological enhancement. Works supporting this systematic categorization, the reported values of these enhancements, and important aspects of the development of enhancement in the X-ray nanochemistry framework are given and discussed in this perspective.

  • NSF-EC Workshop on Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology Summary Report
    NSF-EC Nanomaterials Workshop 2002 NSF-EC Workshop on Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology Summary Report I. Workshop Overview The NSF-EC workshop on nanomaterials and nanotechnology was held in Boston, Massachusetts on December 5-7 2002. Both the US and the EC realize the importance of a globally trained technical workforce. A focused effort to enhance interactions between the U.S. and E.C. in scientific research is one important way to create a culture where international cooperation is the rule rather than the exception. This workshop was developed to provide important feedback to NSF and EC on two issues: I) The most critical and timely issues facing those investigators developing new nanomaterials and technologies related to those materials and II) The best practices for catalyzing cooperative research in the emerging area of nanomaterials. Appendix A provides a list of attendees while Appendix B gives the program and talk titles. Recommendations for important topics and challenges in nanomaterials research were arrived at by discussions in breakout groups in each of the three topical theme areas of the work. These discussions were preceded by brief talks from each of the participants. The common themes found in this discussion: • An increased focus on developing materials which have multifunctional capabilities. Nanoparticles that can both sense and treat disease for example, devices that leverage both the optical and electronic properties of nanoparticles assemblies, or functional coatings whose biodegradation can be triggered after a certain time. • Recognition of the importance that the environmental impact of nanomaterials in developing sustainable nanotechnologies. Very little is known about how nanomaterials interact with animals and the larger environment.

Creation of an active center is considered as a process of obtaining a nanoparticle or a molecule, immobilized within a matrix of the substrate. Selective chemical routes to preparation of particles of rhenium alloys, rhenium oxides and the molecules of alkyltrioxorhenium, and their insertion into porous structure of zeolites, ordered mesoporous MCM matrices, anodic mesoporous alumina, and porous transition metal oxides are considered. Structure-property relationships are traced for these catalysts in relation to such processes as alkylation and isomerization, olefin metathesis, selective oxidation of olefins, methanol to formaldehyde conversion, etc. Keywords: heterogeneous catalysis; rhenium oxides; porous matrices; active centers; oxidation catalysis; olefin metathesis; methanol-to-formaldehyde conversion 1. Introduction Rhenium and its compounds such as sulfides, oxides, alloys and complexes have found application as catalysts in petroleum production, different organic syntheses and radiotherapy. Rhenium metal is broadly used as a component of catalysts for alkylation in organic synthesis and for industrial processes such as reforming of petroleum feedstock and metathesis of alkenes [1–3].
