MfG_E_Blues-world_in_Kote-E Index 2 １． Introduction (１) Brilliant blue color I think that blue color used on the phoenix and qilin drawn on the Kote-E warehouse is a kind of distinctively characteristic color. Clean surface parts of them seems an intense, brilliant colors as if it concludes fluorescent colors ink. There are several opinions regarding the blue color used in the Kote-E warehouse of the Kina-saffron brewery. (２) Lapis lazuli : Dominant opinion Dominant opinion many people say is that material of the color is lapis lazuli, which is known as a chief pigment of ultramarine blue. Lapis lazuli had been found in the central Asia in ancient period. (３) Prussian blue or "King of Blue": from converrsation "Kin-Beru" Other opinion is "King of blue", plant-derived dye color. Kote-E reseacher,Youzou FUJITA, said in his book, that craft-people in the warehouse construction called this color "KIN-BERU". It is just the word "King of Blue", however he didn't depict the meaning, tropical water lilies or the other color having structural coloration. Another opinion is that "KIN-BERU" means Purrusian blue. In old days from Edo period, since 400 years ago, to Meiji Era, about years ago, "KIN-BERU" was used expressing Prussian blue among art material marchants and painters, who were, some cases, Ukiyo-E producers. (４) Fluorescence The other important opinion is using fluorescent materials, mixed with plaster, in particular in the visible light region. It is also known that natural component of lapis lazuli has a fluores- cent property. If rich-fluorescent-lapis lazuli can be obtained, this idea may be reasonable one. MfG_E_Blues-world_in_Kote-E Introduction 3 ２．Coloration of Kote-E (１) Which is a basic pigment in the Kote-E blue, lapis lazuli or Prussian blue. Typical blue colors used in the western art and the eastern art are shown below. ① ② ④ ③ Clockwise from upper left, Upper is a color of "King of Blue" ①Prussian Blue、②Indigo, ③Azurite, flower of tropical water lilies and ④Lapis lazuli.

MfG_E_Blues-world_in_Kote-E Struct_Col 7 (４) Secret of coloring in Kote-E Blue (Fluorescence in Lapis-lazuli) There are many substances that have fluorescence, but regarding brightness in the Kote-E, it is important to have fluorescence for light light region. In the following table, investigation about the fluorescence of lapis lazuli is shown. (https://www.saltworkconsultants.com/lapis-lazuli/) Table Lapis lazuli is a composite of the following several ores. Ore Component Chemical formula Fluorescence property Lazurite (Na,Ca) 8(AlSiO 4)6(SO 4,S,Cl) 2 Main component of lapis lazuli, Also known as Ultramarine aboue 30-40%. No fluorescence. Nosean, Na 8Al 6Si 6O24 (SO 4) H 2O Fluorescence in the visible Noselite light region Sodalite Na 4Al 3(SiO 4)3Cl。 Fluorescence in the Ultra- violet light region Hauyne (Na,Ca) 4-8 Al 6Si 6(O,S) 24 (SO 4,Cl) 1-2 No fluorescence in powder state As shown in the table above, only the component called nozean has the property of visible light fluorescence. Then, if we can collect the natural minerals of lapis lazuli, in which particularly high content of nozean is included, lapis lazuli becomes a good candidatematerial having fluorescence. Here, we call it "choosen lapis lazuli". a) First, select approproate blue pigment and mix it with plaster, making base layer. After the base color plaster has dried, apply "choosen lapis lazuli" on the base layer. I think it is possible to realize a beautiful blue color birds in day light condition. b) First, select "choosen lapis lazuli". and mix it with plaster, making base layer. After the base color plaster has dried, apply approproate blue pigment and mix it with plaster, on the base layer. I think it is also possible to realize a beautiful blue color birds. c) Or it is possible yo use all the plaster layer with Prusian blue, which is strong blue in dilution with plaster and visible light fluorescent materials, I think it is also possible to realize a beautiful blue color birds. I think it is highly possible that this (4) was achieved by either of these methods.

  • Boosting the Activity of Prussian-Blue Analogue As Efficient Electrocatalyst
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Boosting the activity of Prussian- blue analogue as efcient electrocatalyst for water and urea oxidation Yongqiang Feng 1*, Xiao Wang1, Peipei Dong1, Jie Li2, Li Feng1, Jianfeng Huang1*, Liyun Cao1, Liangliang Feng1, Koji Kajiyoshi3 & Chunru Wang 2* The design and fabrication of intricate hollow architectures as cost-efective and dual-function electrocatalyst for water and urea electrolysis is of vital importance to the energy and environment issues. Herein, a facile solvothermal strategy for construction of Prussian-blue analogue (PBA) hollow cages with an open framework was developed. The as-obtained CoFe and NiFe hollow cages (CFHC and NFHC) can be directly utilized as electrocatalysts towards oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and urea oxidation reaction (UOR) with superior catalytic performance (lower electrolysis potential, faster reaction kinetics and long-term durability) compared to their parent solid precursors (CFC and NFC) and even the commercial noble metal-based catalyst. Impressively, to drive a current density of 10 mA cm−2 in alkaline solution, the CFHC catalyst required an overpotential of merely 330 mV, 21.99% lower than that of the solid CFC precursor (423 mV) at the same condition. Meanwhile, the NFHC catalyst could deliver a current density as high as 100 mA cm−2 for the urea oxidation electrolysis at a potential of only 1.40 V, 24.32% lower than that of the solid NFC precursor (1.85 V). This work provides a new platform to construct intricate hollow structures as promising nano-materials for the application in energy conversion and storage. Hydrogen energy has been considered as one of the most promising alternatives to traditional fossil fuels such as coal and oil which have inevitably involved in the tough environmental and unsustainable energetic issues1,2.

  • Notes on Colours and Pigments in the Ancient World
    Journal of the International Colour Association (2012): 8, 61-67 Omarini Notes on colours and pigments in the ancient world Sergio Omarini National Institute of Optics – C.N.R. Florence, Italy Email: [email protected] There have been plenty of writings about ancient pigments, how to obtain them, what they contain, their physical and chemical properties, and how to identify them and, as they say, buckets of ink have been consumed in the process. What I feel needs emphasising here are some particular aspects that have been frequently overlooked. This paper is nothing other than a number of annotations about colours and pigments in the ancient world. The figurative expression of meaning is the first considered aspect. Blue ultramarine and purple are the two demonstrative considered examples where the “material meaning” is substituted by the “colour meaning”. The second considered aspect is the formulae uncertainty. This concerns the artificial pigments as the Ceruse or the Naples Yellow where the comprehension of the recipes is fundamental to understand the ancient composition. Prices, fashion and styles in the Roman world is the last considered aspect. This has strongly conditioned the diffusion of the pigments and, of course, of the colours. Published online: 29 June 2012 The figurative expression of meaning Ultramarine is an intense blue colour with some hints of violet; anyone going to a shop selling painting materials has no difficulty finding ultramarine, whether they are looking for chalk, pencils, paint in a tube or whatever. To tell the truth, the colour is not really codified and, for example, in the case of oil paint tubes, there are some differences between the various manufacturers.

  • Origin of the Exotic Blue Color of Copper-Containing Historical
    Article pubs.acs.org/IC Origin of the Exotic Blue Color of Copper-Containing Historical Pigments Pablo García-Fernandez,́ * Miguel Moreno, and JoséAntonio Aramburu Departamento de Ciencias de la Tierra y Física de la Materia Condensada, Universidad de Cantabria, Avenida de los Castros s/n, 39005 Santander, Spain *S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: The study of chemical factors that influence pigment coloring is a field of fundamental interest that is still dominated by many uncertainties. In this Article, we investigate, by means of ab initio calculations, the origin of the unusual bright blue color displayed by historical Egyptian Blue (CaCuSi4O10) and Han Blue (BaCuSi4O10) pigments that is surprisingly not found in other 6− compounds like BaCuSi2O6 or CaCuO2 containing the same CuO4 chromophore. We show that the differences in hue between these systems are controlled by a large red-shift (up to 7100 cm−1) fi 6− produced by an electrostatic eld created by a lattice over the CuO4 chromophore from the energy of the 3z2-r2 → x2-y2 transition, a nonlocal phenomenon widely ignored in the realm of transition metal chemistry and strongly dependent upon the crystal structure. Along 4− this line, we demonstrate that, although SiO4 units are not involved in the chromophore itself, the introduction of sand to create CaCuSi4O10 plays a key role in obtaining the characteristic hue of the Egyptian Blue pigment. The results presented here demonstrate the opportunity for tuning the properties of a given chromophore by modifying the structure of the insulating lattice where it is located. ■ INTRODUCTION even then they remained rare.

  • Gamblin Provides Is the Desire to Help Painters Choose the Materials That Best Support Their Own Artistic Intentions
    AUGUST 2008 Mineral and Modern Pigments: Painters' Access to Color At the heart of all of the technical information that Gamblin provides is the desire to help painters choose the materials that best support their own artistic intentions. After all, when a painting is complete, all of the intention, thought, and feeling that went into creating the work exist solely in the materials. This issue of Studio Notes looks at Gamblin's organization of their color palette and the division of mineral and modern colors. This visual division of mineral and modern colors is unique in the art material industry, and it gives painters an insight into the makeup of pigments from which these colors are derived, as well as some practical information to help painters create their own personal color palettes. So, without further ado, let's take a look at the Gamblin Artists Grade Color Chart: The Mineral side of the color chart includes those colors made from inorganic pigments from earth and metals. These include earth colors such as Burnt Sienna and Yellow Ochre, as well as those metal-based colors such as Cadmium Yellows and Reds and Cobalt Blue, Green, and Violet. The Modern side of the color chart is comprised of colors made from modern "organic" pigments, which have a molecular structure based on carbon. These include the "tongue- twisting" color names like Quinacridone, Phthalocyanine, and Dioxazine. These two groups of colors have unique mixing characteristics, so this organization helps painters choose an appropriate palette for their artistic intentions. Eras of Pigment History This organization of the Gamblin chart can be broken down a bit further by giving it some historical perspective based on the three main eras of pigment history – Classical, Impressionist, and Modern.

The Color and Electronic Configurations of Prussian Blue Read the paper cited below and answer the discussion questions before class on _______ . Robin, M.L. The Color and Electronic Configurations of Prussian Blue. Inorganic Chemistry, 1, 1962, pp 337-342. DOI: 10.1021/ic50002a028 Discussion Questions: II III III 1. The authors mention that Prussian Blue, [K,Fe ,Fe ](CN) 6, can be synthesized from either Fe (ClO 4)3 II II III and K 4Fe (CN) 6 or from Fe (ClO 4)2 and K 3Fe (CN) 6. They also report the results of base hydrolysis of Prussian Blue. What do these two experiments tell us about the structure of the pigment, and why is this significant? 2. Draw the crystal field splitting diagram for high and low spin versions of Fe II and Fe III ions that have an octahedral coordination geometry. The paper states that there are two types of iron ion in the crystal structure of Prussian Blue. What is the difference between them? Which do you expect to have the larger ∆oct , based on what you know about the spectrochemical series? 3. How do the authors use the distinction between allowed and forbidden transitions to confirm the identity of Prussian Blue as ferric ferrocyanide? 4.
