Definitions

  • the present invention relates to sensitising agents and compositions effective to degrade soils deposited on a surface, methods employing said agents and compositions, and uses thereof.
  • compositions intended for general and specific uses are well known in the art. Such compositions will normally comprise one or more surfactants, solvents thickening agents, abrasive particles, bleaching agents, disinfectant/antibacterial agents, perfumes, preservatives and colouring agents. Although these compositions are effective at removing soils, inevitably resoiling occurs after cleaning and thus recleaning is required.
  • a means to reduce the frequency of cleaning and recleaning would thus be advantageous.
  • the present invention seeks to address these problems.
  • the present inventors have found, however, that the use of a sensitising agent in addition to the light absorbing material reduces the amount of energy required to be absorbed by said light absorber in order for charge separation to take place, and subsequently for the photocatalysed degradation of surface soils to occur.
  • the present inventors have found that ambient light, for example sunlight or artificial light is sufficient in the presence of a sensitising agent and a light absorbing material to induce such a degradation.
  • the present inventors have found, in addition, that the use of highly conjugated heterocyclic complexes such as polypyridine, macrocycle or phthalocyanines with various centrally coordinated atoms such as Ru, Fe and Si can be used to sensitise a light absorbing agent (such as titanium dioxide or zinc oxide) not only when the light absorbing agent is coated onto a surface, but also when the agent is in solution.
  • a light absorbing agent such as titanium dioxide or zinc oxide
  • Bendig et al J Photochem Photobiology A: Chemistry 108 (1997) 89, describe the sensitised photocatalytic oxidation of herbicides using tris(2,2′-bipyridyl-4,4′-dicarboxylate) ruthenium (II) dichloride, tris(2,2′-bipridyl) ruthenium (II) dichloride and a methylated form of the latter.
  • sensitising agents carrying a negatively charged group can bind via electrostatic interaction, whereas positively charged groups will tend to be repelled.
  • pH greater than the PZC value for titania molecular moieties with positively charged groups will tend to bind more strongly with the TiO 2 surface.
  • sensitisation for sensitisation to be most effective at a particular working pH, on semiconductors such as titania, zinc oxide, tin oxide etc, charged groups of the appropriate sign should be present on the absorbing sensitiser-molecule to promote binding.
  • a sensitising molecule should preferably have a positively charged group or groups in its structure.
  • the present invention provides a composition

  • a photocatalytic or other photochemical oxidation, reduction, free radical or other photochemical reaction effective to substantially break down, or otherwise decompose the soil.
  • the cleaning process continues after the conventional act of soil removal is completed.
  • these reactions may also provide an ongoing antibacterial effect that continues after the physical cleaning process has been completed.
  • a functional residue of photocatalytic material is applied to a substantially clean or sterile surface then the rate of accumulation of soils on the surface will be reduced.
  • photocatalytic agent in the context of the present invention refers to an agent that has a favourable combination of electronic structure, light absorption properties, charge transport characteristics and excited-state lifetimes.

The film was dried using a hot air gun and the process repeated to give a total of 2 coats on the microscope slide. A second slide was then prepared in exactly the same way. All slides were then immersed into a solution of 0.3% Gentian Violet in 20% ethanol for 5 minutes. The slides were removed, rinsed with water to remove any excess stain and allowed to air dry. One slide was kept in total darkness and the second was placed onto an overhead projector (Model Ensign. Lamp: 24V-250 W-3860 lux). The purple colour on the films faded after 3 hours 30 min. There was no change in the colour of the slide stored in darkness.
  • the titania sols have been characterised by TEM (transmission electron microscopy). The samples were prepared by pipetting a few drops of the sol onto holey carbon films. Gold grids were used to avoid support corrosion. The microscope used was a Philips CM20, operated at 200 kV.The results are summarised in Table 7. TABLE 7 TEM results of different source of titania. TiO 2 sol source TEM results Prepared as per example 1 of GB 1412 Irregularly shaped titania crystallites mainly 937 (Woodhead) (peptised at 60° C.) anatase with a size of 10 nm.
  • the TiO 2 sol (made from isopropoxide route) containing PVA (MW:15,000) was prepared as follows. PVA (0.10 g, MW:15,000) was diluted in hot de-ionised water (50 ml) then allowed to cool to room temperature. A known amount of concentrated TiO 2 sol was added to the PVA solution under vigorous stirring. The volume was completed to 100 ml with de-ionised water. Final TiO2 concentration 1 g/L. A mixture of TiO 2 sol containing PVA (1 ml, 1 g/L) and de-ionised water (4 ml) was stirred for about 1 minute using a rotamixer. Gentian violet (0.08 ml, 0.03 wt/v %) was added to the mixture.
  • the TiO 2 sol (made from isopropoxide route) containing PVA (MW15,000) was prepared as follows. PVA (0.10 g, MW 15,000) was diluted in hot de-ionised water (50 ml) then allowed to cool to room temperature. A known amount of concentrated TiO 2 sol was added to the PVA solution under vigorous stirring. The volume was completed to 100 ml with de-ionised water. Final TiO2 concentration 1 g/L.
  • a UV/Visible spectrum is taken at this stage.
  • the vials containing the mixtures were placed onto an overhead projector (2 cm height from the glass, in order to reduce heat). UV/Visible spectra were used to observe the colour change over a period of time.
  • TiO2 without dye has significantly slower photocatalytic activity when compared with sensitised TiO 2
  • a microscope slide containing a thin film of sensitised TiO 2 was added into a solution of 4-chlorophenol (99+%, Aldrich, 8 ml, 10 ⁇ 4 M).
  • the vial containing the solution and the slide was placed onto an overhead projector.
  • the degradation of 4-chlorophenol was monitored using UV/Visible analysis.
  • Zinc oxide was prepared according to the method outlined by Bruemann et al, J. Phys. Chem., (1987), 91, 3789.
  • the oxide suspension (made by stirring the ZnO solid into a sodium hydroxide solution at pH9) was then sensitised with 4,4′-dicarboxa late,tris (2,2′bibyridyl) Ru (II) dichloride according to the method outlined in previous examples.
  • Gentian violet dye was added to both the sensitised sample and the non-sensitised control sample, and the UV/visible spectrum was recorded as a function of time under illumination with white light (5,000 lux). The results demonstrate that the absorption peak associated with Gentian Violet decreases faster with the sensitised ZnO compared to the control.
  • Typical positively charged groups for use as binding sites include, but are not limited to R 4 N+ groups and R 4 P+ groups, where R is as hereinbefore described
  • Terpyridyl-based sensitisers with phosphonate chelating ligands have been used in conjunction with titania in dye-sensitised solar cells.
  • the terpyridyl group of general formula I can be synthesised with e.g. R1 as a positively charged unit.
  • R5-7 of formula II are methyl, is synthesised according to procedures where the intermediate is made by the method outlined in Recl.Trav. Chim. Pays. Bas, 1959, v78, 408.
  • This nitrated aryl group is then changed into the terpyridyl unit by the method outlined by McWhinne et al (J Organoetallic chem.., 1968, v11, 499).
  • the nitro group is then reduced to the amine by hydrazine hydrate under Pd/C catalysis followed by reaction with excess methyl iodide to form the quaternary nitrogen terpyridyl ligand desired.
  • terpyridyl molecule [described by general formula I] can be synthesised by reacting 2-acetylpyridine with 4-nitrobenzaldehyde in base followed by ring closure with ammonium acetate according to methods outlined by E Constable et al (J Chem Soc Dalton Trans, 1992, 2947), followed by reduction of the nitro group to the amine and quaternisation as described previously to form a compound described by formula I with R2 and R 3 as hydrogen and R1 as
  • Phthalocyanine dyes can be synthesised with amine nitrogen groups by e.g. Buchwald ammination of halide precursors to produce outer-ring derivatives such as (J Org Chem 2000, V65, 1158), the amine groups of which are then quarternised.
  • TADAs Tetra-aza-annulenes
  • TADAs of the general formula V can be derivatised at R1, R2, R3, and R4 by the general methods outlined above.
  • the bipyridyl compounds tris(2,2′-bipyridyl-4,4′-dicarboxylate) ruthenium (II) dichloride and tris(2,2′-bipridyl) ruthenium (II) dichloride can be dimerised using pyrazine derivatives such as pyrazine, pyrimidine and 4,4′-bipyridyl linking ligands according to procedures detailed in (E A Seddon & K R Seddon, The Chemistry of Ruthenium, Elsevier, New York 1984, p 436).
