Reactions of aliphatic amines with ozone: Kinetics and mechanisms

Urs von Gunten, Sung Eun Lim

Aliphatic amines are common constituents in micropollutants and dissolved organic matter and present in elevated concentrations in wastewater-impacted source waters. Due to high reactivity, reactions of aliphatic amines with ozone are likely to occur durin ...

Effects of Ozone on the Photochemical and Photophysical Properties of Dissolved Organic Matter

Urs von Gunten, Frank Jonathan Leresche, Silvio Canonica

This study focused on the effects of ozonation on the photochemical and photophysical properties of dissolved organic matter (DOM). Upon ozonation, a decrease in DOM absorbance was observed in parallel with an increase in singlet oxygen (O-1(2)) and fluore ...

Photoinduced disinfection in sunlit natural waters: Measurement of the second order inactivation rate constants between E-coli and photogenerated transient species

César Pulgarin, Stefanos Giannakis, Jean Arnaud Troyon

This work uncovers the implications of the estimation of exogenous inactivation rates for E. coli after the initial lag phase, and presents a strategy for the determination of the second-order inactivation rate constants (k2nd) of these bacteria with relev ...

Conservation of vibrational coherence in ultrafast electronic relaxation: The case of diplatinum complexes in solution

Majed Chergui, Dominik Kinschel, Gerald Auböck, Roberto Monni, Kathrin Maria Aziz-Lange

We report the results of ultrafast transient absorption studies of tetrakis(l-pyrophosphito) diplatinate(II), Pt-2(mu-P(2)O(5)H2)(4) (Pt(pop)) and its perfluoroborated derivative Pt-2(mu-P2O5(BF2)(4) (Pt(pop-BF2)) in water and acetonitrile upon e ...

Phototransformation of Acesulfame K in surface waters: Comparison of two techniques for the measurement of the second-order rate constants of indirect photodegradation, and modelling of photoreaction kinetics

Stefanos Giannakis

By use of photochemical modelling we show that acesulfame K (ACE) can undergo photodegradation in surface waters, mainly by reaction with (OH)-O-center dot and possibly (CDOM)-C-3* (the triplet states of chromophoric dissolved organic matter). With the pos ...

FeOx magnetization enhancing E-coli inactivation by orders of magnitude on Ag-TiO2 nanotubes under sunlight

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Arnaud Magrez, Ivica Zivkovic, Sami Rtimi, Stefanos Giannakis, Marco Mangayayam

Drastic bacterial enhancement was observed when the Ag(3%)-TiO2 nanotubes were modified with FeOx (3%) magnetic oxide. On bare TiO2- nanotubes a reduction of 0.21og(10)CFU was observed within one hour under simulated low intensity solar light. Under simila ...

Versatile pyridine-2,6-bis-tetrazolate scaffolds for the formation of highly luminescent lanthanide complexes

Marinella Mazzanti

Here we report the straightforward synthesis of the ligands L-tz, L-tzC8, L-tzPEG, L-tzAnis and L-=Anis presenting the same pyridine-bistetrazolate (pytz, L) chelating scaffold but different substituents on the para position of the pyridine ring. Its subst ...

Origin of the Spin-Orbital Liquid State in a Nearly J=0 Iridate Ba3ZnIr2O9

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Martin Mansson, Paul Gregory Freeman

We show using detailed magnetic and thermodynamic studies and theoretical calculations that the ground state of Ba3ZnIr2O9 is a realization of a novel spin-orbital liquid state. Our results reveal that Ba3ZnIr2O9 with Ir5+ (5d(4)) ions and strong spin-orbi ...

Investigations of the non-adiabatic photophysics of Cu(I)-phenanthroline complexes

Gloria Capano

Cu(I)-phenanthrolines are an important class of metal-organic molecules that exhibits much promise for solar energy harvesting and solar-driven catalysis applications. Although many experimental studies have been performed calling for high-level simulation ...
