Thioxanthonation of di-Ph units of di-Ph disulfide was achieved successfully. The photoreduction and photostabilization ability of 2, 2′-disulfanediylbis (9H-thioxanthen-9-one) was used for in-situ preparation of Au nanoparticles either in solution or in poly(ethylene glycol) Me ether acrylate/poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate polymer matrix. SPR(Surface Plasmon Resonance) absorption band of formed Au NPs were recorded at 550 nm by UV-vis spectroscopy. Indeed, formation of elliptical shaped nanoparticles (4-8μm) as well as spherical ones (11-14 nm) in nanocomposite films were obtained depending on UV irradiation time. DLS (Dynamic Light Scattering) measurements also changed from 440 nm to about 200 nm as a function of irradiation time. The potential of Au NPs/polymer nanocomposite film as a sensing element for benzene, toluene, xylene (BTX) sensing was studied at different temperatures An overall evaluation of the exptl. results showed that Au NPs/ polymer nanocomposite film has good potential as a sensing element for the detection of BTX vapors. In the experiment, the researchers used 1,2-Diphenyldisulfane(cas: 882-33-7Recommanded Product: 882-33-7)
1,2-Diphenyldisulfane(cas: 882-33-7) belongs to ethers.Recommanded Product: 882-33-7Although ethers resist hydrolysis, they are cleaved by hydrobromic acid and hydroiodic acid. Hydrogen chloride cleaves ethers only slowly.
