Q50 apparatus

Manufactured by TA Instruments

The Q50 is a thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) apparatus manufactured by TA Instruments. The Q50 measures the change in the mass of a sample as a function of temperature or time in a controlled atmosphere. It is designed to provide accurate and reliable data on the thermal properties of materials.

Scanning electron microscope (SEM)
images were taken at an acceleration voltage of 5 keV and a working
distance of 15 mm using a JEOL JSM-7500F instrument. Transmission
electron microscopy (TEM) analysis was conducted using an FEI Tecnai
G2 F20 Super-Twin FE-TEM instrument operating at 120 kV. TEM samples
were prepared using a Tescan LYRA-3 Model GMH dual-beam FIB instrument.
X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns were collected using a Miniflex II
diffractometer (Rigaku) with Cu Kα radiation (λ = 1.5406
Å) in the 2θ range of 5–40°. A Nicolet iS5
spectrophotometer equipped with iD7 ATR (Thermo Scientific) was used
to obtain attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared
(ATR-FTIR) spectra at a resolution of 5 cm–1 with
16 scans in the span of 4000–400 cm–1. Thermogravimetric
analysis (TGA) was performed using a Q50 apparatus (TA Instruments)
in the temperature range of 25–800 °C at the heating rate
of 10 °C min–1 under an air flow of 60 cm3 min–1. N2 adsorption isotherms
were taken using an ASAP 2020 plus instrument (Micromeritics) at 77
K.

Synthesis and Characterization of Rhenium Complexes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Rhenium pentacarbonyl chloride was purchased from Acros, rhenium pentacarbonyl bromide [31] and the ligand [pyipy]PF 6 [32] were prepared accordingly to a procedure published elsewhere. All procedures involving rhenium complexes were carried out under an argon atmosphere using standard Schlenk techniques. Silica gel for column chromatography was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectra were recorded using a Bruker Avance III HD 500 spectrometer equipped with a N 2 cryo-probe CPPBBO Prodigy at 298 K. 1 H and 13 C{ 1 H} NMR spectra were calibrated to residual solvent signals. Infrared spectra were recorded using a Fourier-transformed attenuated total reflectance infrared (FT-ATR-IR) spectrometer from Perkin Elmer. Elemental analyses were obtained at the AMS Fédération de Chimie Le Bel, University of Strasbourg on a Flash 2000 ThermoFischer Scientific apparatus. Thermogravimetric analysis was performed on a Q50 apparatus of TA Instruments, at a scanning rate of 5 °C min -1 and with nitrogen as purge gas. HR-ESI-MS spectra were recorded on a MicroToF Bruker equipped with an electrospray ionization source.

Thermogravimetric Analysis of Paste Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The TGA of paste samples was performed using the Q50 apparatus from TA Instruments. In preparation for the TGA tests, the hardened paste specimens were first pulverized (using mortar and pestle), and the resulting powder was then passed through a 75 μm (#200) sieve. Next, about 15–20 mg of the screened powder was placed in an open platinum pan which was then loaded into the TGA instrument. The pan with powder was heated to 900 °C (at a rate of 10 °C/min) in the atmosphere of nitrogen gas. The flow rate of the gas was 60 mL/min.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
