The modifiers, such as sodium stearate, octadecyl dihydrogen phosphate (ODP) and oleic acid (OA), were used to obtain hydrophobic nanoparticles. The different modification effects of the modifiers were investigated by measuring the active ratio, whiteness and the contact angle. Moreover, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetry analysis (TGA analysis) were employed to characterize the obtained products. A preliminary reaction mechanism was discussed. According to the results, the active ratio of CaCO3 modified by ODP was ca. 99.9% and the value of whiteness was 97.3% when the dosage of modifiers reached 2%. The contact angle was 122.25° for the CaCO3 modified in the presence of sodium stearate, ODP and OA. When modified CaCO3 was filled into PVC, the mechanical properties of products were improved greatly such as rupture intensity, pull intensity and fuse temperature. The compatibility and affinity between the modified CaCO3 nanoparticles and the organic matrixes were greatly improved.展开更多

The strong M≡N bond confirmed by natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis comprises one σ bond and two π bonds, the same as Mo≡N in [Mo6O18NPh]2-. Furthermore, phenylimido segment effectively modifies the electronic properties of α-[PM12O39NPh]3-. On one hand, when enlarging the inorganic cluster from {Mo6O18} to {PMo12O39}, the energy gap between HOMO and LUMO in α-[PMo12O39NPh]3- decreased, resulting in enormously anodic shift for the reduction potential, while the excitation energy is less and the total second-order polarizability β0 is up to 438.3×10?30 esu, which is nearly 10 times larger than that of [Mo6O18NPh]2-. On the other hand, when metal W in α-[PM12O39NPh]3- is substituted by Mo, the interaction between Mo and N is enhanced and the redox ability becomes stronger. The β0 value for α-[PMo12O39NPh]3- is more than 5 times higher than that of α-[PW12O39NPh]3?. It indicates that changing appropriate metal or enlarging the inorganic cluster will improve the redox properties and second-order nonlinear response. Moreover, the electron transition for three compounds mentioned above occurred mainly from organoimido segment (as the electron donor) to polyanion cluster (as the acceptor). As a result, α-[PMo12O39NPh]3- may be a promising candidate for oxidant and nonlinear optical material.展开更多
