Introduction
INTRODUCTION
Kawasaki Disease (KD) is an acute febrile illness primarily affecting young children and
associated with the risk of coronary artery aneurysms (5). The absence of a specific diagnostic
test for KD presents a significant challenge to accurately diagnose and promptly treat the
disease. Consequently, the development of a simple and cost-effective colorimetric sensor
array employing BDA4S is of great interest to researchers in this field.
This typescript is divided into three distinct parts, each contributing to a comprehensive
understanding of the subject matter. The first part comprises a literature review, which is
presented in two chapters. The initial chapter provides an overview of general concepts and
knowledge pertaining to barium diphenylamine 4 sulfonate. The subsequent chapter focuses
on various analysis techniques employed for the identification and characterization of this
compound.
The second part of the thesis is condensed into a single chapter, wherein the preparation
methods and a range of analysis techniques for the characterization of barium diphenylamine
4 sulfonate are summarized. The highlighted techniques include UV-vis, XRD, FTIR, SEM,
electrical conductivity measurements, and refractive index analysis.

The third and final part of this thesis delves into the results obtained from the aforementioned
analyses and presents their interpretation. This section aims to establish connections between
the experimental findings and the underlying principles of barium diphenylamine 4 sulfonate.
By elucidating the implications of these results, this part serves to enhance our comprehension
and contribute to the overall body of knowledge in this field of study.

CHAPTER I GENERALITIES ON BARIUM DIPHENYLAMINE -4- SULFONATE
Introduction
In 1967, a Japanese doctor named Kawasaki was the first to describe a syndrome
characterized by mucocutaneous lymph node involvement, now known as Kawasaki disease
[6], is a short-term inflammation of medium-sized blood vessels that predominantly affects
the coronary arteries [7]. It mainly affects children under the age of five and is rare among
older individuals It has experienced a significant rise worldwide, particularly in the last 20
years [8].
It is the primary contributor to acquired heart conditions in developed countries and is
gradually surpassing rheumatic heart disease as a major concern in developing nations [7].
Various theories have been proposed regarding the cause of KD. Presently, it is widely
accepted that there is a genetic predisposition to developing KD, and it is believed that an
unidentified infectious factor also plays a role. Recent evidence indicates that genetic factors
play a significant role in the occurrence of KD. Specific variations in the IgG receptor have
been identified, which can heighten the susceptibility of children to KD and increase the
likelihood of developing coronary artery aneurysms [9].

CHAPTER I GENERALITIES ON BARIUM DIPHENYLAMINE -4- SULFONATE
Hence, there is a strong need and urgency to prioritize the creation of an affordable, quick,
and convenient alternative diagnostic test for Kawasaki disease that can be conducted directly
at the point of care.
The application of colorimetric array-based sensing is a robust approach for quantitatively
detecting a wide range of analytes through the recognition of distinct patterns using multiple
sensing compounds. Various classes of sensing compounds are commonly employed in
colorimetric sensors, including metalloporphyrin, Bronsted acid/base dyes, solvatochromic
dyes, and redox indicators. Redox indicators, encompassing both metal-organic complexes
and true organic redox systems, exhibit a clear and reversible colour change between their
oxidized and reduced forms.
Among the 190 candidate compounds an optimal subset of 11 sensing compounds utilized in
the assembly of colorimetric sensor arrays for diagnosing Kawasaki disease (table 1), one
notable compound is barium diphenylamine 4 sulfonate [4].

CHARACTERIZATION
TECHNIQUES
CHAPTER II CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES
In 1912, Max von Laue and his colleagues made the significant discovery that crystalline
materials behave like three-dimensional diffraction gratings when exposed to X-ray
wavelengths that align with the spacing of planes within the crystal lattice (Friedrich et al.,
1912) Currently, X-ray diffraction has become a widely used method for investigating crystal
structures and the distances between atoms [13]. XRD is a non-invasive method of testing that
can be used to analyse a diverse range of substances, such as minerals, polymers, plastics,
metals, semiconductors, ceramics, and solar cells [14]. While X-ray crystallography finds
extensive industrial applications, it continues to be a complex discipline of research. Many
studies have explored the various uses of XRD, but there is a scarcity of comprehensive
reviews focusing on technical details of crystal structures and XRD [15].
Crystalline structures consist of arrays of atoms arranged in a repetitive and orderly manner.
The fundamental building block of a crystal is called a unit cell, and its size and shape (as
shown in Figure 3) are determined by the angles between the axes (α, β, γ) and the lengths of
the three axes (a, b, c) in a three-dimensional system [16]. Atoms within an array are
methodically arranged by their positions, either through translation or transformation, without
any alteration in terms of orientation or rotation. The translation can occur in one, two, or
three dimensions, depending on the specific type employed [17]. A crystal's regular
arrangement of points is referred to as a lattice. Figure (3a) and (3b) depict the lattice structure
of crystals in two and three dimensions, respectively.
11
CHAPTER II CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES
In 1848, Bravais introduced the mathematical concept of a space lattice to describe the
arrangement of crystal structures (Figure 4). The space lattice demonstrates the scattering of
an infinite number of points in space, highlighting that the arrangement of points around one
point is comparable to that around any other point [18]. The arrangement of points within a
space lattice is defined using the x, y, and z axes. Figure 4 illustrates 14 lattices that represent
all possible arrangements of points within a three-dimensional space lattice. These 14 Bravais
lattices can be classified into 7 crystal systems based on the angles between the axes, their
lengths, and their symmetry properties.
12
CHAPTER II CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES
Space groups in crystallography describe the symmetry of crystals, indicating how their
orientation can change without affecting the atomic positions. These changes include
translations, reflections, rotations, and inversions. The combination of these transformations
results in 230 distinct space groups that categorize the inherent symmetry of crystals [19],
[20], [21], [22], [23]
13
CHAPTER II CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES
diffraction peaks can be converted into d-spacings, which are unique for each compound and
can be used for compound identification. X-ray diffractometers consist of three main
components: X-ray tube, a sample holder, and an X-ray detector. X-rays are generated by
heating a filament in the cathode ray tube, accelerating electrons towards a target, and causing
characteristic X-ray spectra to be emitted. These spectra typically include components such as
Ka and Kb [24].
The Lambert-Beer law forms the foundation for quantitatively analysing liquid parameters
through UV-Vis spectroscopy.

CHAPTER II CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES
A = log(1/T) = ε · c · l (1)
where A represents the absorbance of the sample, T is the transmittance of light through the
sample, ε is the molar absorptivity or molar absorption coefficient, c is the concentration of
the compound, and l is the path length that the light travels through the sample.
UV-Vis spectroscopy operates on the principle that molecules can selectively absorb light
within the UV-Vis wavelength range. When light of a specific wavelength is absorbed, it
excites electrons from a lower energy orbital (HOMO) to a higher energy unoccupied orbital
(LUMO). The energy of the absorbed light must be equal to the energy gap between the
HOMO and LUMO (HOMO-LUMO energy gap).
In the case of conjugated systems, where there are alternating single and multiple bonds, the
energy gap between the HOMO and LUMO is smaller compared to isolated double [28].

CHAPTER II CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES
FT-IR spectroscopy is a technique used to obtain the absorption or emission infrared spectrum
of solids, liquids, or gases. The advantage of FT-IR spectrometry over dispersive
spectrometry is that it simultaneously collects high-resolution information over a broad
spectral range (between 4000 and 400 cm−1). Spectroscopy techniques, such as FT-IR or UV-
vis spectroscopy, aim to quantify the amount of light absorbed by a sample at each frequency.
The dispersive spectroscopy method involves focusing a monochromatic light beam at a
sample, measuring the amount of absorbed light, and recalculating it for each frequency. In
contrast, Fourier transform spectroscopy uses a less intuitive approach to obtain similar data.
This method focuses a beam, or array, that contains multiple frequencies of light and
measures how much of that beam is absorbed by the sample. Then, the wave is changed to
contain a different combination of frequencies, giving a second data point.
This process is repeated many times in a short period of time, and the information is obtained
by a computer. An interferogram, such as the one shown in (Figure 9), is created by applying
a broadband light source containing the entire range of frequencies to be measured. The light
passes through a Michelson interferometer, which consists of a special array of mirrors, one
of which is moved by a motor. As this mirror moves, each light frequency in the array is
occasionally blocked, reflected, refracted, or transmitted by the interferometer. The different
frequencies are modulated at different rates so that the array exiting the interferometer has a
different range at each mirror position or second [32].

CHAPTER II CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES
In order to use SEM, a sample must be fixed onto a stub using double-sided carbon tape. A
thin layer of material should then be added on top of the carbon tape to reduce charging and
improve image quality. However, non-conductive samples such as polymers must be sputter-
coated with a conductive material like carbon or metal to avoid overcharging. Once the
sample is prepared, it is placed in the sample holder within the vacuumed specimen chamber.
SEM operates under a vacuum to prevent interactions between electrons and gas molecules
that would reduce resolution. The primary electrons produced by the electron gun are
accelerated to a high energy level and focused into a monochromatic beam using magnetic
field lenses and metal slits. The beam is scanned across the sample surface by scanning coils
in a raster pattern. When the primary electrons hit the sample surface, they interact with the
near-surface area of the sample in several ways, generating signals from both elastic and
inelastic scattering.
The interaction volume and scattering of electrons in SEM depend on several factors. The
concentration of atoms and atomic number of the element in the sample, as well as the
accelerating voltage, can affect the interaction volume and scattering. Increasing the
accelerating voltage leads to an increase in the interaction volume and scattering, while higher
atomic number materials absorb or stop more electrons, resulting in a smaller interaction
volume. The angle of incidence of the electron beam also plays a role, with a greater angle of
incidence resulting in a smaller interaction volume. In summary, the angle of incidence,
atomic number, and accelerating voltage are the primary factors that determine the volume of
the specimen in which interactions occur.
As a result of the interaction between incoming electrons and the specimen's nucleus and
electrons through Coulomb field, various signals are emitted such as secondary electrons
(SEs), backscattered electrons (BSEs), photons (X-rays used for elemental analysis) and
visible light (Cathodoluminescence - CL). These signals are collected by detectors and
processed by a computer to form the desired image. Different information about the sample
can be observed depending on the detected signal, with secondary electrons being the most
important for indicating sample morphology and topography, while backscattered electrons
are used for demonstrating contrasts in multiphase samples. X-rays are generated when
incident electrons collide with electrons in the orbitals of sample atoms, causing them to be
excited to higher energy levels and then emit X-rays with a specific wavelength when they
return to lower energy levels. Each element generates a characteristic X-ray, which allows for
21
CHAPTER II CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES
elemental analysis. SEM is a non-destructive technique, and repeated analysis of the same
material can be done as the generation of X-rays does not lead to any loss in the specimen's
volume.
The interactions that occur between the electron beam and the specimen atoms can be broadly
classified into two types: inelastic and elastic interactions. In inelastic interactions, the beam
electron interacts with the electric field of a specimen atom electron, transferring energy to the
atom and potentially ejecting a secondary electron (SE) with an energy of less than 50 eV.
The creation of vacancies by the ejected electrons leads to the emission of X-rays, which are
characteristic of the energy transition involved.
Elastic interactions occur between the primary electrons and the electric field of the nucleus
of a specimen atom, causing the direction of the primary electrons to change with minimal
energy loss (less than 1 eV). When these elastically scattered electrons deflect out of the
specimen, they are called backscattered electrons (BSEs) and typically maintain at least 50%
of the incident beam energy. These interactions cause the beam electrons to distribute over a
three-dimensional "interaction volume", with secondary and backscattered electrons escaping
from different depths of the sample, resulting in different energies.
SEs generally escape from depths of approximately 5-50 nm, while BSEs escape from several
times greater depths, and X-rays from even greater depths. This means that greater escape
depths can result in wider lateral dimensions for signal generation and lower potential
resolutions. However, the actual size and shape of the interaction volume depend on several
factors, including the accelerating voltage, atomic number, and tilt [35].

sample
Within the realm of pharmaceutical research, SEMs have emerged as vital tools for acquiring
invaluable insights into the complex world of cells when exposed to novel drugs. By
harnessing the remarkable resolution capabilities of SEMs, researchers can capture highly
detailed images of cellular structures, allowing them to examine the profound effects of
pharmaceutical compounds on cellular behaviour. These visualizations enable scientists to
23
CHAPTER II CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES
decipher drug mechanisms, optimize formulations, and design more targeted and efficient
treatment strategies.
The significance of SEMs extends beyond cellular exploration, as they also play a pivotal role
in powder imaging and analysis in the pharmaceutical industry. Precise characterization of
powders is paramount in drug manufacturing, as it directly impacts critical factors such as
dissolution rate, stability, and bioavailability. SEMs excel in this domain, delivering accurate
measurements of particle size, shape, and distribution. Armed with this knowledge,
researchers can optimize formulation processes, evaluate product quality, and ensure
consistent and predictable therapeutic outcomes [36], [37], [38].

The double-beam spectrophotometer Analytik Jena (Figure14) at the level of the Galenic
Pharmacy Laboratory, Department of Pharmacy BATNA, was used to analyse the absorption
spectra of BDA4S. It is equipped with two lamps; the first one is a halogen lamp used for
measuring optical density in the visible range, while the second one is a deuterium lamp used
for measuring optical density in the ultraviolet range. In our experiments, BDA4S at specific
intervals were placed in a quartz cuvette to monitor their photodecomposition. The

characteristic absorption peak (λmax) was measured within a range of 900 nm and speed of
5nm/s, with respect to distilled water used as a reference.
The transmitted light is then measured by the detector, and the intensity change at different
wavelengths is calculated by dividing the transmitted intensity of the sample solution by the
corresponding values of the blank. This ratio is then recorded by the software ASpect UV
(figure 15) for the recording and analysis of UV-vis data.

RESULTS & DISCUSSION
I. X-ray Diffraction
X-ray diffraction is a technique employed to determine the composition and structure of
crystalline materials, as well as to confirm the non-crystalline state of certain substances. In
the case of crystalline materials, where atoms are arranged in an orderly and periodic manner,
lattice planes designated by Miller indices (h k l) are formed. When a crystal is illuminated
with X-rays, a diffraction pattern emerges, consisting of distinctive peaks associated with the
diffracting lattice planes. The position of each peak, known as the diffraction angle θ, relies
on the orientation and interplanar distance of the diffracting planes, following Bragg's law.
The synthesized products underwent analysis using X-ray diffraction (XRD) with a copper
anticathode apparatus (λkα=1.54060 Å). The voltage acceleration was set at 40 kV and the
current at 40 mA. The detector scanned the angular range from 5° to 90°, with a fixed step
size of 0.019° and a scanning speed of 9.4 seconds per step.
1. Structural identification
Structural identification is the primary use of the powder method, which involves determining
the specific crystalline species being studied. It can also be employed to qualitatively analyse
the presence of multiple crystalline species within a material. This identification process relies
on accurately determining the positions of peaks and estimating their relative intensities based
on their heights.
35

3. Crystal structure
The compound was prepared in the form of a white powder, stable in air. The data collection
was performed using an automated diffractometer in Geology Laboratory, Kasdi Merbah
University of Ouargla. For the record, we hold the distinction of being the initial adopters of
this technique for examining (C12H10NO3S)2Ba.
X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of the compound (C12H10NO3S)2Ba reveals the presence of 6
characteristic diffraction peaks that correspond to the compound (figure19).

RESULTS & DISCUSSION
NB: the Bravais lattice parameters are still unknown for this region thus we couldn’t calculate
the crystallographic plans. Also, the symmetric of BDA4S is unknown.
The average size of barium diphenylamine 4- sulfonate nanopowder was determined from the
0.9 λ
width of the reflection according to the Debye-Scherrer equation D= , where β is the
βCOSθ
full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the peak in radians, θ is the angle of diffraction and λ
is the wavelength of the X-ray, by considering the FWHM (β= 0.45°) of the dominant
diffraction peak (θ=7.22°) of BADA4S nanoparticles, the crystalline size of BDA4S
nanopowder was around 200 nm.
The result is in a good agreement with that found by Scherrer formula in X-ray diffraction.

The spectral properties of barium diphenylamine 4 sulfonate were studied using an analytical
UV-vis absorption spectrophotometer (Analytik Jena) in diluted solutions in distilled water at
different concentrations. All concentrations exhibited similar absorption spectra with a
maximum absorption wavelength (λmax) in the range of 200-330 nm (Figure 23).
Figure 24 displays the FT-IR spectra of these various synthesis products within the frequency
range of 2500-500 cm-1.
V. Electrical conductivity
The self ionisation of water results in H 3O+(aq) and OH-(aq) always being present in any
aqueous electrolyte solution. The measured resistance, or conductance, is therefore a
composite quantity made up from the contribution made by the ions of the electrolyte and the
H3O+(aq) and OH-(aq). The contribution from the H 3O+(aq) and OH-(aq) can be obtained
by measuring the resistance, or conductance, of the H 2O used in preparing the electrolyte

solutions under study. The conductivity of the water can then be found from this measured
conductance and the cell constant. For an ionic compound, with the formula AB2, we may
consider the following equilibrium in its saturated solution at a given constant temperature.

The current is carried through a solution by the movement of the ions of the solution.
It is likely that the more ions there are present, the lower will be the resistance of the solution
to the passage of the current and the greater will be the conductivity, . For the ideal case the
conductivity, , would be expected to be strictly proportional to the concentration of ions
actually present (figure 25)
For homogeneous single-phase insolating liquids, a binary ionic system is often used
to express the specific electrical conductivity of the solution [40]
effects such as formation of micelle structures. The mobility of a charged particle in the
solution depends on its diffusion coefficient D and the temperature T.

ideal solutions. Combining Equations (1)-(3), the conductivity expression can be reduced to

As can be seen, when the concentration of ions in an electrolyte solution (BDA4S) increase,
there are more charged particles available to carry electric current. As a result, the
conductivity of the electrolyte (BDA4S) increases. This relationship is described by the
Nernst-Einstein equation, which states that the molar conductivity is directly proportional to
the concentration of ions in the solution.
Figure (26) demonstrates the variation of electrical conductivity with temperature. As it can
be seen, an increase in a solution’s temperature will cause a decrease in viscosity and increase
in the mobility of the ions in the solution of BDA4S. An increase in temperature may also
cause an increase in number of ions in the solution due to the dissociation of the molecules.
As a result, there will be increase in conductivity of the solution.
42
RESULTS & DISCUSSION
It is concluded that parameters such as impurities (dissolved solids BDA4S) and temperature
play an important role for the determination of the electrical conductivity.
Refractive index is also referred to as refraction index or index of refraction. The speed of
light in a medium depends on the properties of the medium. In electromagnetic waves, the
speed is dependent on the optical density of the medium. Optical density is the tendency of
the atoms in a material to restore the absorbed electromagnetic energy. The more optically
dense material is, the slower the speed of light. One such indicator of the optical density of a
medium is the refractive index.
The refractive index is dimensionless. It is a number that indicates the number of times slower
than a light wave would be in the material than it is in a vacuum. The refractive index,
represented by symbol n, is the velocity of light in vacuum divided by the velocity of light in
a medium. The formula of the refractive index is as follows:
43
RESULTS & DISCUSSION
n=c/v
Where,
The vacuum has a refractive index of 1. The refractive index of other materials can be
calculated from the above equation. Higher the refractive index, the higher the optical density
and slower is the speed of light [41].
Figure (27) shows the relationship between refractive index and concentration of
C12H10NO3S)2Ba solutions.
From (figure 27) the refractive index is directly proportional to the concentration, as
concentration of guiding liquid increases refractive index increases.

Conclusion
The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of BDA4S revealed significant peaks indicative of
crystallinity.
To examine the sizes and morphologies of the samples, scanning electron microscopy (SEM)
was employed. The results exhibited the presence of microcrystals in the form of micro-
grains, with an average length of 200 nm for BDA4S.
Laue Symmetry experiment will consistently reveal more information, whether in regards to
structure, and space group, all while extracting the Bravais lattice parameters and the
crystallographic plans, but the measurement is somewhat of a lengthy and complicated
process compared to other optical characterization techniques, such as Spectrophotometry.
The answer therefore depends on the limitations of the equipment and, most importantly, on
the desired results. As the goal set for this work has been reached, it is noteworthy to
