    不同链长酰基丙氨酸型Ca(II)配合物制备CaCO3纳米粒子

    Synthesis of CaCO3 nanoparticles using acylalaninate-type Ca(II) complexes

    • 摘要: 由Ca(OH)2和烷基(=丁、己、辛、癸、月桂)酰基丙氨酸配位体,合成一系列酰基丙氨酸型Ca(II)配合物。其甲醇/水溶液中通入CO2,制备CaCO3纳米粒子。透射及扫描电镜的测定结果显示,CaCO3纳米粒子的形貌为球状或棒状,并且随着Ca(II)配合物中配位体烷基侧链的增长(C4→C12),CaCO3纳米粒子的粒径(64 nm→10 nm)呈显著减小趋势,这可能是因为饱和浓度Ca(II)配合物在甲醇或含少量水甲醇溶液中形成分子聚集体并其极性头部靠拢于中心,且随着配位体烷基链的增长,配合物分子侧链之间的疏水作用增强,从而使得分子聚集体极性头部变小。因此,通过调整Ca(II)配合物的配位体的烷基侧链的大小及长短,可以制备出形貌各异、粒径大小不同的CaCO3纳米粒子。本研究中CaCO3纳米粒子的制备原料为氨基酸的衍生物,绿色环保、原料易得且制备工艺简单易行。研究结论为纳米级碳酸钙的绿色制备工艺提供了新的思路,纳米级碳酸钙作为一种具有优异性能的新型材料,在科学研究和工业应用中具有广泛的前景。

       

      Abstract: Calcium(II) complexes including Ca(Butala)2, Ca(Hexala)2, Ca(Octala)2, Ca(Decala)2, and Ca(Dodala)2, were meticulously synthesized through a precisely orchestrated reaction between calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) and distinct ligands, namely butanoylalanine (HButala), hexanoylalanine (HHexala), octanoylalanine (HOctala), decanoylalanine (HDecala), and dodecanoylalanine (HDodala). Among these, Ca(Octala)2, Ca(Decala)2, and Ca(Dodala)2 stand out as recently synthesized compounds. Guided by a meticulous exploration of their solubility, phase transition temperatures, and thermostability, we embarked upon the preparation of CaCO3 nanoparticles. This involved a precisely orchestrated process wherein Ca(II) complexes were subjected to the reactive influence of CO2 gas fluxing, thereby facilitating the creation of the desired CaCO3 nanoparticles. The synthesis resulted in CaCO3 nanoparticles of varying shapes, with their size diminishing from 64 nm to 10 nm as the alkyl chain length of Ca(II) complexes increased from C4 to C12. This size reduction could be attributed to the aggregated Ca(II) complexes molecules in a methanol or methanol with small amount water solution. The hydrophobic interaction of Ca(II) complexes intensified with longer alkyl chains, contributing to the reduction in nanoparticle size. This implied that the manipulation of alkyl chain length and size of ligand could yield CaCO3 nanoparticles exhibiting varied sizes and morphologies. Importantly, the synthesis method for CaCO3 was environmentally sustainable due to the utilization of a raw material derived from amino acids. The Ca(II) complex, serving as the precursor, is readily accessible, underscoring the efficiency of this approach. This approach offers novel insights for the green synthesis process of nano-grade CaCO3. Owing to its excellent properties, nano-grade CaCO3 as a new material holds broad prospects in scientific research and industrial applications.
