La loi du 6 juin 2006 sur la gestion des déchets radioactifs de haute activité et à vie longue prévoit la recherche de solutions permettant la séparation et la transmutation des radioéléments à vie longue, pour réduire les quantités et la nocivité des déchets radioactifs ultimes. Ces déchets issus du retraitement du combustible nucléaire usé sont actuellement vitrifiés à La Hague. Ainsi, le projet « séparation poussée » vise à compléter le procédé industriel PUREX par le développement de procédés permettant d’extraire les actinides mineurs des raffinats PUREX où se trouvent également des produits de fission constitués principalement de lanthanides, neutrophages. Pour réaliser la séparation poussée, les actinides mineurs des raffinats PUREX doivent être séparés par des molécules spécifiques. Les BTP ou bis-triazinyl-pyridines ont été largement étudiées au CEA pour la séparation actinides(III)/lanthanides(III). Elles complexent sélectivement les actinides, mais l'origine de cette sélectivité n'est pas complètement expliquée : notamment l’influence des groupements (attachés à leur structure) sur la complexation ou la sélectivité reste à démontrer. En outre, elles sont sensibles à l'hydrolyse et à la radiolyse. La première partie du travail présente la synthèse de BTP ou de BTBP, différemment substituées pour améliorer leur résistance face à l'hydrolyse ou à la radiolyse, et une nouvelle famille de ligands polyaromatiques azotés : les BPBT, présentant un enchaînement original de cycles pyridine et triazine, différent de toutes les structures décrites jusqu'à présent dans la littérature. La seconde partie de ce travail est consacrée à l’étude physico-chimique de nouvelles molécules obtenues, en déterminant leurs constantes de protonation et de complexation, pour connaître l’influence des différents groupements sur la complexation et la sélectivité. Enfin, le troisième volet concerne l’étude des propriétés de ces ligands en extraction liquide-liquide, utilisés soit comme extractants lipophiles, soit comme complexants hydrophiles. / In France, the nuclear waste issued from the industrial reprocessing of spent nuclear fuels (by the PUREX process) are currently vitrified at the La Hague plant, waiting for a final disposal in a deep geological repository. The law voted in June 2006 on the management of highly active nuclear waste plans to look for solutions enabling the separation and transmutation of long-lived radionuclides so as to reduce the quantity and noxiousness of the final nuclear waste. To address this issue, the CEA investigates and elaborates advanced separation processes based on specially designed complexing or extracting molecules to selectively extract minor actinides from PUREX raffinates containing fission products like lanthanides, which are neutron scavengers. BTP or bis-triazinyl-pyridines have been extensively studied at the CEA (and in Europe) for actinides(III)/lanthanides(III) separation. They complex actinides(III) selectively. However, they are sensitive to degradation by hydrolysis and radiolysis. Besides, their separation mechanisms are not well understood, especially the influence of their substituting groups on their complexing and extracting properties. The first part of work reports the syntheses of various BTP and BTBP molecules, differently substituted, as well as a new family of polyaromatic nitrogen-contained ligands: BPBT, presenting a pyridine/triazine sequence that has never been reported in the literature. The second part is devoted to the physico-chemistry studies of the synthesized molecules, such as the determination of their protonation and complexation constants to describe the influence of different substituting groups. Finally, the last part outlines solvent extraction studies by using these ligands either like extractants or like compexants.

[pt] O presente trabalho envolve a implementação e validação de metodologia analítica para determinação de resíduos de agrotóxicos em amostras de alimentos provenientes do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, cujos resultados servirão para um aumento de informações de um banco de dados sobre os mesmos, bem como para o aprimoramento do sistema nacional de saúde e promoção da saúde da população. Foram analisados os agrotóxicos das classes nitrogenados e piretróides. As amostras foram coletadas no CEASA da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, uma vez que este é o principal centro distribuidor de frutas e hortaliças da cidade. As culturas escolhidas para análise foram maçã, manga, morango, pepino e tomate de mesa. Após a otimização das condições cromatográficas, metodologia de extração e validação da metodologia pelos parâmetros de curva analítica e linearidade, seletividade (efeito matriz), repetibilidade, recuperação, homocedasticidade e limite de detecção do método, as amostras foram coletadas e analisadas no período de novembro de 2016 a fevereiro de 2017. A análise foi baseada no método QuEChERS e quantificação por cromatografia gasosa acoplada a espectrometria de massas tandem, no modo de Monitoramento de Múltiplas Reações. Obteve-se um método de curta duração, inferior a vinte minutos, capaz de quantificar 41 agrotóxicos com dois monitoramentos precursor-produto para cada um dos analitos, apresentando as seguintes vantagens: rápido, econômico, fácil, efetivo, robusto e seguro. O LDM variou de 1,34 a 10,22 ng g(-1). A concentração de agrotóxicos das amostras esteve abaixo desses valores para a maioria (78 porcento dos casos) dos 41 agrotóxicos analisados. Para as culturas de tomate e pepino, os agrotóxicos quantificados estiveram próximos aos seus respectivos limites de detecção. Para a manga, observaram-se alguns picos de maior concentração para o propargito e lambda-cialotrina. O primeiro de uso não autorizado pela ANVISA e o segundo, embora presente, abaixo do limite estabelecido por esta agência. As culturas de maçã e morango apresentaram a maior contaminação por agrotóxicos (38 e 44 porcento acima do LDM, respectivamente), muitos não autorizados pela ANVISA. Por ser um centro de grande distribuição de alimentos, a CEASA é suprida por diferentes fornecedores, sendo assim a variabilidade das fontes de alimentos coletados é muito grande e, portanto, a continuidade desta sistemática de avaliação torna-se necessária. / [en] The present work regards the implementation and validation of a method for analysis of pesticide residues in produce from the state of Rio de Janeiro for the improvement of the national health system. Pyrethroids and triazines class pesticides were analyzed for this research. The samples were collected at CEASA in the city of Rio de Janeiro, since it is the main fruit and vegetable distribution center in the city. The produce chosen for the analyses were apple, mango, strawberry, cucumber and tomato. After optimization of the chromatographic conditions, extraction methodology and evaluation of the parameters linearity, selectivity (matrix effect), repeatability, recovery, homocedasticity and limits of detection of the method, the samples were collected, from November 2016 to February 2017. The QuEChERS method was used for the extraction of pesticide residues and the PSA method was used for the purification of extracts, both in triplicates. The extracts were analyzed by gas chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry in Selected Reaction Monitoring mode (Multiple Reaction Monitoring). A short run method was achieved for the determination of 41 pesticides with two precursor-product for each analyte. The analitycal method showed several advantages - quick, cheap, easy, effective, rugged and safe. The detection limits were 1,34 ng/g and 10,22 ng/g. The majority of the pesticides analysed (78 per cent) were below this result. For tomato and cucumber, the only quantified compounds were close to their respective detection limits. For the analysis of mango pesticides, some peaks of higher concentration for propargite and lambda-cyhalothrin were observed. The first one is not authorized by ANVISA and the second, although present, was found below the limit established by this agency. The apple and strawberry crops showed the highest contamination by pesticides (38 and 444 per cent, respectively), many of which were not authorized by ANVISA. CEASA is a large food distribution center, so it is supplied by different distributers. The variability of the sources of food collected is very large. A more representative study on the quality of food would require a higher number of samples with a higher frequency of sampling.

In the first section of the thesis graphitic carbon nitride was for the first time synthesised using the high-temperature condensation of dicyandiamide (DCDA) – a simple molecular precursor – in a eutectic salt melt of lithium chloride and potassium chloride. The extent of condensation, namely next to complete conversion of all reactive end groups, was verified by elemental microanalysis and vibrational spectroscopy. TEM- and SEM-measurements gave detailed insight into the well-defined morphology of these organic crystals, which are not based on 0D or 1D constituents like known molecular or short-chain polymeric crystals but on the packing motif of extended 2D frameworks. The proposed crystal structure of this g-C3N4 species was derived in analogy to graphite by means of extensive powder XRD studies, indexing and refinement. It is based on sheets of hexagonally arranged s-heptazine (C6N7) units that are held together by covalent bonds between C and N atoms. These sheets stack in a graphitic, staggered fashion adopting an AB-motif, as corroborated by powder X-ray diffractometry and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. This study was contrasted with one of many popular – yet unsuccessful – approaches in the last 30 years of scientific literature to perform the condensation of an extended carbon nitride species through synthesis in the bulk. The second section expands the repertoire of available salt melts introducing the lithium bromide and potassium bromide eutectic as an excellent medium to obtain a new phase of graphitic carbon nitride. The combination of SEM, TEM, PXRD and electron diffraction reveals that the new graphitic carbon nitride phase stacks in an ABA’ motif forming unprecedentedly large crystals. This section seizes the notion of the preceding chapter, that condensation in a eutectic salt melt is the key to obtain a high degree of conversion mainly through a solvatory effect. At the close of this chapter ionothermal synthesis is seen established as a powerful tool to overcome the inherent kinetic problems of solid state reactions such as incomplete polymerisation and condensation in the bulk especially when the temperature requirement of the reaction in question falls into the proverbial “no man’s land” of classical solvents, i.e. above 250 to 300 °C. The following section puts the claim to the test, that the crystalline carbon nitrides obtained from a salt melt are indeed graphitic. A typical property of graphite – namely the accessibility of its interplanar space for guest molecules – is transferred to the graphitic carbon nitride system. Metallic potassium and graphitic carbon nitride are converted to give the potassium intercalation compound, K(C6N8)3 designated according to its stoichiometry and proposed crystal structure. Reaction of the intercalate with aqueous solvents triggers the exfoliation of the graphitic carbon nitride material and – for the first time – enables the access of singular (or multiple) carbon nitride sheets analogous to graphene as seen in the formation of sheets, bundles and scrolls of carbon nitride in TEM imaging. The thus exfoliated sheets form a stable, strongly fluorescent solution in aqueous media, which shows no sign in UV/Vis spectroscopy that the aromaticity of individual sheets was subject to degradation. The final section expands on the mechanism underlying the formation of graphitic carbon nitride by literally expanding the distance between the covalently linked heptazine units which constitute these materials. A close examination of all proposed reaction mechanisms to-date in the light of exhaustive DSC/MS experiments highlights the possibility that the heptazine unit can be formed from smaller molecules, even if some of the designated leaving groups (such as ammonia) are substituted by an element, R, which later on remains linked to the nascent heptazine. Furthermore, it is suggested that the key functional groups in the process are the triazine- (Tz) and the carbonitrile- (CN) group. On the basis of these assumptions, molecular precursors are tailored which encompass all necessary functional groups to form a central heptazine unit of threefold, planar symmetry and then still retain outward functionalities for self-propagated condensation in all three directions. Two model systems based on a para-aryl (ArCNTz) and para-biphenyl (BiPhCNTz) precursors are devised via a facile synthetic procedure and then condensed in an ionothermal process to yield the heptazine based frameworks, HBF-1 and HBF-2. Due to the structural motifs of their molecular precursors, individual sheets of HBF-1 and HBF-2 span cavities of 14.2 Å and 23.0 Å respectively which makes both materials attractive as potential organic zeolites. Crystallographic analysis confirms the formation of ABA’ layered, graphitic systems, and the extent of condensation is confirmed as next-to-perfect by elemental analysis and vibrational spectroscopy. / Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der Synthese und Charakterisierung neuer Allotropen und Nanostrukturen von Karbonitriden und berührt einige ihrer möglichen Anwendungen. Alle gezeigten, ausgedehnten, kovalent verbundenen Karbonitridgerüste wurden in einem ionothermalen Syntheseprozess – einer Hochtemperaturbehandlung in einem eutektischen Salzgemisch als ungewöhnlichem Lösungsmittel – aus einfachen Präkursormolkülen erzeugt. Der Kondensationsmechanismus folgt einer temperaturinduzierten Deaminierung und Bildung einer ausgedehnten, aromatischen Einheit; des dreifach substituierten Heptazines. Die Dissertation folgt vier übergreifenden Themen, beginnend mit der Einleitung in Karbonitridsysteme und der Suche nach einem Material, welches einzig aus Kohlenstoff und Stickstoff aufgebaut ist – einer Suche, die 1834 mit den Beobachtungen Justus von Liebigs „über einige Stickstoffverbindungen“ begann. Der erste Abschnitt zeigt die erfolgreiche Synthese von graphitischem Karbonitrid (g-C3N4); einer Spezies, welche auf Schichten hexagonal angeordneter s-Heptazineinheiten beruht, die durch kovalente Bindungen zwischen C- und N-Atomen zusammengehalten werden, und welche in einer graphitischen, verschobenen Art und Weise gestapelt sind. Der zweite Abschnitt berührt die Vielfalt von Salzschmelzensystemen, die für die Ionothermalsynthese geeignet sind und zeigt auf, dass die bloße Veränderung der Salzschmelze eine andere Kristallphase des graphitischen Karbonitrides ergibt – das g-C3N4-mod2. Im dritten Abschnitt wird vom Graphit bekannte Interkallationschemie auf das g-C3N4 angewendet, um eine Kalliuminterkallationsverbindung des graphitischen Karbonitirdes zu erhalten (K(C6N8)3). Diese Verbindung kann in Analogie zum graphitischen System leicht exfoliiert werden, um Bündel von Karbonitridnanoschichten zu erhalten, und weist darüberhinaus interessante optische Eigenschaften auf. Der vierte und letzte Abschnitt handelt von der Einführung von Aryl- und Biphenylbrücken in das Karbonitridmaterial durch rationale Synthese der Präkursormoleküle. Diese ergeben die heptazinbasierten Frameworks, HBF-1 und HBF-2 – zwei kovalente, organische Gerüste.

Fish and crayfish are widely used as biological monitors of environmental levels of anthropogenic pollutants. The present thesis is a contribution to the assessment of the toxicity and effects of long-term effect of triazines on the different developmental stages of common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) and adult red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii). The carp was selected as a model fish due to its economic importance, e.g. carp farming contributes about 90% to total fish production in the Czech Republic. Crayfish are easily identified species representing given locality, they are widespread, and they provide a sufficient amount of tissue for individual biochemical and chemical analyses. The results of these studies provide further data on chronic exposure to triazines for consideration in risk assessment. We selected three active substances of triazine herbicides which are the most frequently detected in surface waters such as prometryne, simazine and terbutryn. The findings contribute to knowledge of the toxic potential of triazine herbicides to carp and crayfish at environmentally relevant concentrations in Czech rivers. There is a scarcity of information regarding the toxicity of triazines on freshwater organisms. During the tests we monitored several parameters: behaviour, mortality, biometric, haematological, biochemical blood, histopathology, oxidative stress and antioxidants. The data obtained from all tests performed during my thesis are very valuable for assessment and evaluation of long-term effects xenobiotics on aquatic organisms, especially fish and crayfish. In the future, I would extend the focus of my research for study of possible synergic or amplifying effect of mixtures triazines with other xenobiotics which are often found in the aquatic environment. This approach is recently accented as the aquatic environment is polluted by mixtures of different compounds. Therefore, more research is needed in order to clarify the more detailed effects of xenobiotics on non-target aquatic organisms.

The presented Ph.D. thesis is aimed at the preparation and characterisation of novel crystalline materials with application potential in nonlinear optics (NLO). The main goal was preparation of crystalline salts and adducts (cocrystals) of selected nitrogen-containing heterocycles with a range of organic and inorganic acids. Based on previous study and quantum- chemical calculations, the following starting heterocycles were selected: 2-aminopyrimidine, 4-aminopyrimidine, 5-aminopyrimidine, 3-amino-1,2,4-triazine and 3-amino-5,6-dimethyl- 1,2,4-triazine. The prepared materials were characterised mainly by X-ray diffraction and vibrational spectroscopy and the interpretation of the vibrational spectra was based on quantum-chemical calculations. The systems based on aminopyrimidines were the first field of study in presented thesis. The thesis represents a finalisation of our previous study focused on inorganic salts and cocrystal in the case of 2-aminopyrimidine. The characterisation of a pair of cocrystals with boric acid was accomplished. The 12 new salts and adducts were prepared and characterised in the case of 4-aminopyrimidine and only one crystalline product - adduct with succinic acid - was obtained in the case of 5-aminopyrimidine. The systems based on 3-amino-1,2,4-triazine and its...

Объектом исследования являлось вещество натриевая соль 2-этилтио-6-нитро-1,2,4-триазоло-[5,1-c]-1,2,4-триазин-7-она, дигидрат (УПИ-802). Цель работы: количественное определение лекарственного вещества натриевой соли 2-этилтио-6-нитро-1,2,4-триазоло-[5,1-c]-1,2,4-триазин-7-она дигидрата методом вольтамперометрии. В случае УПИ-802 наиболее полезным для количественного определения является сигнал электровосстановления нитрогруппы. Исследованы процессы восстановления нитрогруппы исследуемого вещества в водных и апротонных растворах с применением вольтамперометрии в условиях физического удаления растворенного кислорода и без удаления кислорода. Установлено, что скорость восстановления УПИ-802 контролируется диффузией, процесс восстановления нитрогруппы является необратимым и проходит в две стадии в буферном растворе Бриттона-Робинсона. Первая волна восстановления, которая лежит в области потенциалов -0,31 – (-0,8) В, соответствует присоединению 4 электронов. Обнаружено, что электровосстановление нитрогруппы протекает с предшествующим протонированием. Выбран оптимальный режим регистрации аналитического сигнала исследуемого вещества УПИ-802 на стеклоуглеродном электроде в условиях химического способа удаления растворенного кислорода – квадратно-волновой с амплитудой импульса 0,05 В, частотой импульса 35 Гц. Показана возможность применения толстопленочных углеродсодержащих электродов для определения исследуемого вещества методом квадратно-волновой вольтамперометрии. Выполнена оценка показателей качества методики анализа, таких как линейность, повторяемость (сходимость) и внутрилабораторная прецизионность. / The object of the study was the substance 2-ethylthio-6-nitro-1,2,4-triazolo-[5,1-c]-1,2,4-triazin-7-one sodium salt dihydrate (UPI-802). Objective: quantification of 2-ethylthio-6-nitro-1,2,4-triazolo-[5,1-c]-1,2,4-triazin-7-one sodium salt dihydrate by the method of voltammetry. For UPI-802, the signal of electroreduction of a nitro group is the most useful for quantitative determination. The processes of the nitro group reduction of the test substance in aqueous and aprotic solutions was studied using voltammetry in conditions of physical removal of dissolved oxygen and without oxygen removal. It was established that the rate of reduction of UPI-802 is controlled by diffusion, the processes of reduction of the nitro group is irreversible and proceeds in two stages in a Britton-Robinson buffer solution. The first recovery wave, lying in the potential region of -0,31 - (-0,8) V, corresponds to the addition of 4 electrons. It was found that the electroreduction of the nitro group proceeds with previous protonation. The optimal mode for recording the analytical signal of the UPI-802 on the glassy carbon electrode was selected in conditions of chemical method for removing dissolved oxygen – square-wave with a pulse amplitude of 0,05 V and a pulse frequency of 35 Hz. The possibility of using thick-film carbon-containing electrodes to determine the test substance by the method of square-wave voltammetry was shown. The quality indicators of the analysis technique, such as linearity, repeatability (convergence) and intralaboratory precision, were evaluated.
