α-氨基酸及其酯化物侧链对其β-环糊精复合物稳定常数的影响

为了探索α-氨基酸及其酯化物的侧链R基团对其与环糊精非共价复合物结合强度的影响, 将一定摩尔比的β-环糊精(β-CD)分别与L型正缬氨酸(n-Val)、 亮氨酸(Leu)、 苯丙氨酸(Phe)、 天冬氨酸(Asp)、 天冬氨酸-4-苄酯(Asp-4-benzyl ester)和天冬氨酸-4-叔丁酯(Asp-4-t-butyl ester)在室温下混合, 反应平衡后采用电喷雾电离质谱进行竞争反应检测, 并以改进的质谱滴定结合曲线拟合法计算结合常数. 结果表明, 它们均可形成摩尔比为1∶1的非共价复合物. 在2组竞争反应中, 复合物的结合强度顺序分别为[β-CD∶Asp-4-benzyl ester+H]⁺>[β-CD∶Asp-4-t-butyl ester+H]⁺>[β-CD∶Asp+H]⁺以及[β-CD∶Phe+H]⁺>[β-CD∶Leu+H]⁺>[β-CD∶n-Val+H]⁺. 质谱滴定曲线拟合法测得[β-CD∶n-Val+H]⁺, [β-CD∶Asp+H]⁺, [β-CD∶Asp-4-t-butyl ester+H]⁺, [β-CD∶Asp-4-benzyl ester+H]⁺, [β-CD∶Leu+H]⁺和[β-CD∶Phe+H]⁺的稳定常数(lgK_st)分别为1.81, 2.54, 3.14, 3.26, 3.36和3.67, 结合强度依次增强. 竞争反应的定性分析结果与质谱滴定定量法测得结合强度结果的趋势一致. 由于所选用的α-氨基酸及其酯化物客体的羧基端(—COOH)和氨基端(—NH₂)均相同, 且都为亲水基团, 仅有侧链R基团不同, 因此在溶液中客体分子受疏水驱动与β-CD主体靠近并结合时, 侧链R基团的疏水力和极性2个因素起重要作用. 由于客体分子体积小, 其碳端的羧基还可与β-CD大口或小口边缘的羟基形成氢键, 使复合物更加稳定.     

Ion-exchange properties of hypercrosslinked polystyrene impregnated with methyl orange

A novel bipolar stationary phase (HCPS–MO) was prepared by impregnation of hypercrosslinked polystyrene (HCPS) with methyl orange (MO; 4-dimethylamino-4′-sulfoazobenzene) and its ion-exchange properties were studied. Simultaneous separation of cations and anions on HCPS–MO is possible, although it behaves preferentially as a cation-exchanger. Unusual selectivity of HCPS-MO for alkali and alkaline-earth metal cations: Na⁺+K⁺+4⁺+ and Mg²⁺2+2+2+ was observed. The effect of temperature on retention of alkali and alkaline-earth metal cations was studied. Separation of Na⁺, K⁺, Rb⁺, NH₄⁺, Cs⁺, Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺ on HCPS–MO with diluted cerium(III) nitrate solution as an eluent in single run is presented.     

On the affinities of ammonia and water for Li, Na and K

The affinities of ammonia for Na⁺ and K⁺, recently determined experimentally, have been computed by the ab initio SCF method using ended polarized gaussian basis sets and shown to be satisfactory Furthermore, the corresponding values computed at the same level of accuracy for the three cations Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺ and the two ligands NH₃ and H₂O are shown to yield the order Li⁺ > Na⁺ > K⁺ for each ligand and NH₃ > H₂O for each ion, in agreement with experiment. An analysis of the factors involved in the binding provides a consistent rationalization of these regularities and of some observed correlations.     

Synthesis and H-NMR complexation studies of alkalimetal bithioxanthylidene crown ether complexes

Two synthetic routes to a novel class of sterically overcrowded alkenes, bithioxanthylidene crown ethers 1, are described.

The chemical production of electronically excited states in the H/NF2 system

A mixture of NF₃ and Ar is passed through an rf discharge in a flow-system to produce, among other species, F and NF₂. When H₂, D₂, or CH₄ are added downstream, reactions with F atoms produce vibrationally excited HF or DF together with H, D, or CH₃. The latter free radicals can react with NF₂, probably by an elimination reaction to produce electronically excited NF: NF₂(²B₁) + H(D, CH₃) → HF^*(DF^* + NF(a¹Δ). A vibrational-to-electronic energy transfer process between the products of this reaction then produces the next higher state of NF: HF(ν 2) + NF(a¹Δ) → HF(ν−2) + NF(b¹Σ⁺). A similar transfer process has also been found between the electronically excited a¹Δ states of O₂ and NF: O₂(a¹Δ) + NF(a¹Δ) → O₂(X³Σ⁻) + NF(b¹Σ⁺). The H or D atoms but not the CH₃ radicals are then found to react with either NF(a¹Δ) or NF(X³Σ⁻) to produce electronically excited N(₂D) atoms, which in turn react with the NF(a¹Δ) molecules to produce N₂(B³Π_g). The observed nitrogen first positive radiation has been demonstrated to be produced entirely by this reaction mechanism rather than by the N(⁴S) recombination that accounts for the Rayleigh afterglow. In addition, the occurrence of the reaction N(₂D) + N₂O → NO(B²Π_r) + N₂ (X¹Σ⁺_g) has been verified. Finally we have observed emission at 3344 Å, which we attribute to the NF(A³Π), which has not been previously reported.     

Highly Uniform Alkali Doped Cobalt Oxide Derived from Anionic Metal-Organic Framework: Improving Activity and Water Tolerance for CO Oxidation

A sequence of alkali metal cation-exchanged Co metal-organic frameworks(Co-MOFs), therein after denoted as M@Co-MOF, M=Na⁺, K⁺, Rb⁺, and Cs⁺, was prepared and used as the precursors to obtain the corresponding alkali doped cobalt oxide(defined as M/Co₃O₄, M=Na⁺, K⁺, Rb⁺, and Cs⁺) through calcination under air atmosphere. The cobalt oxide modified by uniform alkali metals exhibited a significant promotion of catalytic activity for CO oxidation. The activity of M/Co₃O₄ decreased in the order of Cs⁺ > Na⁺ > K⁺ > Rb⁺. Experimental and theoretical results revealed that the anionic skeleton of Co-MOF could facilely adsorb alkali metal cations and play a crucial role in the formation of highly uniform alkali doped cobalt oxide. The further characterizations, such as temperature-programmed reduction of H₂(H₂-TPR), oxygen temperature-programmed desorption(O₂-TPD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform(DRIFT) spectra demonstrated that the enhanced catalytic activity is originated from the interfacial electron transfer as well as weakened the Co-O bond strength, which promoted oxygen desorption from Co₃O₄ and formation of cobalt species with the lower valence state. The Cs/Co₃O₄ catalyst was maintained for 60 h without deactivation and still showed a high activity in the presence of water.     

反应过程中Cu物种演变对其催化甲醇氧化羰基化反应活性的影响

以NH₄Y分子筛为载体、 乙酰丙酮铜为铜源, 采用固相反应法制备了无氯CuY催化剂, 并用于催化甲醇氧化羰基化合成碳酸二甲酯(DMC). 结合不同反应时间催化剂的X射线衍射(XRD)、 N₂吸附-脱附、 热重(TG)、 程序升温脱附/还原(NH₃-TPD/H₂-TPR)、 透射电子显微镜(TEM)和X射线光电子能谱(XPS)等表征结果, 分析了反应过程中Cu物种演变对其催化活性的影响. 结果表明, 新鲜催化剂中铜物种主要以Cu⁺形式存在, 占铜物种的48%; 随着反应的进行, 活性中心Cu⁺逐渐被氧化为Cu²⁺, 进而生成CuO物种, 部分CuO逐渐迁移至催化剂外表面. 在反应100 h内, Cu⁺含量逐渐减小至36.7%, CuO含量增加, 导致DMC的时空收率及选择性不断下降, 副产物二甲氧基甲烷(DMM)和甲酸甲酯(MF)的选择性逐渐提高. 当反应时间延长至190 h时, Cu⁺含量为33.6%, 略有下降, DMC的时空收率和选择性趋于平稳. 继续延长反应时间至300 h, 催化剂中铜物种状态基本不变, 催化剂催化性能保持稳定.     

Direct conversion of methane to methanol over Cu exchanged mordenite: Effect of counter ions

Direct conversion of methane(CH4)to methanol(DMTM)is a promising,but very challenging process for the utilization of abundant CH4 as a low carbon resource.In this context,Cu loaded zeolites,mordenite(MOR)in particular,were recognized as the most effective system to perform DMTM.In this work,different Cu salts were used to exchange with MOR,by which the effect of counter ions on the catalytic performance towards DMTM was investigated.The prepared catalysts were characterized and evaluated systematically.It was found that the counter ions affected the speciation of Cu sites,probably due to their capability in extraction of protons from MOR and the influence on the hydrolysis state of the Cu2+in aqueous solution.These behaviors adjusted the association between Cu2+and the exchangeable protons in MOR.As a result,varied DMTM performance was observed.Among the used Cu salts,Cu(CH3COO)2 exchanged MOR showed the highest performance,achieving stable CH3 OH yield of 117±28μmol/g in 5 consecutive cycles,these values are among the highest for Cu loaded MOR zeolites in open publications.     

Novel lithocholaphanes: Syntheses, NMR, MS, and molecular modeling studies

Novel head-to-head lithocholaphanes 6 and 11 have been synthesized via precursors 1–5 and 7–10 with overall good yields, and characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁵N NMR spectroscopy, ESI-TOF mass spectrometry, thermal analysis, and molecular modeling. In addition, the binding abilities of 6 and 11 towards alkali metal cations have been investigated via competitive complexation studies using equimolar mixtures of Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, and Rb⁺-cations, and cholaphanes 6 and 11. The formation of cation–cholaphane adducts was detected by ESI-TOF mass spectrometry. The trends in these comparative binding studies are nicely reproduced theoretically with PM3 energetically optimized structures of 6 and 11 and their interaction energies with alkali metal cations calculated by molecular mechanics. Cholaphane 11 possessing a peptoid type structural fragment, –(CH₂CONHCH₂CH₂)₂O–, as a coordination sphere, shows binding tendency towards lithium and sodium cations, whereas 6 possessing an ester type, –(CH₂OCOCH₂)₂O–, moiety and a bigger cavity size than 11, shows merely a tendency towards bigger alkali metal cations, potassium and rubidium.     

Investigation of the effect of carbon monoxide on the oxidative carbonylation of methanol to dimethyl carbonate over CuX and CuZSM-5 zeolites

Direct synthesis of dimethyl carbonate offers prospects for a “green chemistry” replacement to eliminate use of phosgene for polymer production and other processes. The carbonylation of methanol to produce dimethyl carbonate over Cu⁺X and Cu⁺ZSM-5 zeolites prepared by solid-state ion exchange has been investigated, focusing on the interaction of carbon monoxide with the Cu⁺ zeolites. The methanol carbonylation mechanism reported previously has been extended to account for carbon monoxide adsorption at high pressure. The comparison of the results obtained from Cu⁺X and Cu⁺ZSM-5 show that strong CO adsorption on the catalyst is not related to increased rate of dimethyl carbonate production. The rate limiting step for DMC production is best described as the Eley-Rideal reaction of gas-phase CO with surface methoxide.
