Synthesis and UV/Vis spectroscopic properties of the negathe @(30) values of 1 and the G(30) values of 2 for both aprotic tively solvatochromic, relative to 1 homomorphic, thiobetaine and protic solvents, despite of the fact that sulfur is usually dye 2 are described. The new thiobetaine 2 exhibits an even known to act as worse hydrogen-bond acceptor than oxygen. larger negative solvatochromism and thermochromism than Possible reasons for this extraordinary behaviour of 2 are disthe standard betaine dye 1, which has been used to establish cussed. In contrast to 2, the sulfo-substituted betaine dye 4 an empirical scale of solvent polarity, the so-called ET (30) does not exhibit any solvatochromism. scale.

Ursache der drastischen negativen Solvatochromie von 1 ist die mit zunehmender Losungsmittelpolaritat (d. h. mit zunehmendem Solvatationsvermogen des Losungsmittels) auftretende energetische Stabilisierung des dipolaren Elektronengrundzustandes von 1 relativ zum weniger dipolaren CT-Anregungszustand (pG > pA) durch differenzierende Solvatation beider Zustande. AuDer den nichtspezifischen zwischenmolekularen Wechselwirkungskraften zwischen gelostem Farbstoff und Losungsmittel wird die Solvatochromie von 1 in H-Briicken-Donor-(HBD-)Losungsmitteln vor allem durch die spezifische H-Briicken-Wechselwirkung zwischen Phenolat-Sauerstoffatom und protischem Losungsmittel entsprechend Gleichung (2) (X = 0) verursacht.

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to detect the bonding between a silica particle surface and attached silanes. In addition to the commonly recorded Si 2p spectrum, the Si 1 s level is also accessible when monochromatic Ag Lalpha X-rays are applied. Furthermore, the spectrum of the Si 1 s level shows a fine structure. After spectrum deconvolution, we assigned the fitted spectral peaks to Si-C bonds of the silanes and to the Si-O bonds of the silica network. The recorded Si 1 s spectra were deconvoluted into peaks originating from Si-C bonds and the Si-O-Si silica network. To check the results of spectrum deconvolution, several differently functionalized silanes containing stoichiometric amounts of heteroatoms were applied for silica surface modification. We conclude that spectra deconvolution of the Si 1 s signal is an appropriate means for quantification of surface attached silane molecules.
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.
