Studies on Polymeric Crown Ethers (Ⅰ)——The Syntheses and Complexation Properties of Polymeric Thiacrown Ethers with Polyether Backbone

Four new polymeric oxa-thiacrown ethers were prepared by the intramolecular cy-clization of poly (2-chloroethylglycidyl ether) with dimercaptans, which is the most convenient method for synthesizing poly(thiacrownether)s. The poly(thiacrownether)s exhibited excellent complexation properties for noble metal ions such as Au ( Ⅲ ) , Pd ( Ⅱ ) and Ag( Ⅰ ) , except Pt( Ⅳ ). In addition, the XPS of polymeric thiacrown ether (PC3) and its complexes of Au( Ⅲ ) and Pd( Ⅱ ) were determined.     

Base-free aerobic oxidation of glycerol on TiO_2-supported bimetallic Au–Pt catalysts

The aerobic oxidation of glycerol provides an economically viable route to glyceraldehyde, dihydroxyacetone and glyceric acid with versatile applications, for which monometallic Pt, Au and Pd and bimetallic Au–Pt, Au–Pd and Pt–Pd catalysts on Ti O2 were examined under base-free conditions. Pt exhibited a superior activity relative to Pd, and Au–Pd and Pt–Pd while Au was essentially inactive. The presence of Au on the Au–Pt/Ti O2 catalysts led to their higher activities(normalized per Pt atom) in a wide range of Au/Pt atomic ratios(i.e.1/3–7/1), and the one with the Au/Pt ratio of 3/1 exhibited the highest activity. Such promoting effect is ascribed to the increased electron density on Pt via the electron transfer from Au to Pt, as characterized by the temperature-programmed desorption of CO and infra-red spectroscopy for CO adsorption. Meanwhile,the presence of Au on Au–Pt/Ti O2, most like due to the observed electron transfer, changed the product selectivity, and facilitated the oxidation of the secondary hydroxyl groups in glycerol, leading to the favorable formation of dihydroxyacetone over glyceraldehyde and glyceric acid that were derived from the oxidation of the primary hydroxyl groups. The synergetic effect between Au and Pt demonstrates the feasibility in the efficient oxidation of glycerol to the targeted products, for example, by rational tuning of the electronic properties of metal catalysts.     

CARBONACEOUS PRODUCTS OF POLYMER-PALLADIUM COMPLEXES AS CATALYSTS FOR THE HYDROGENATION OF METHYL ACRYLATE

Many catalysts were pcrpared by carbonization of ion exchange resin-PdCl_2 complexes at high temperature in nitrogen, hydrogen atmosphere. The rates for the hydrogenation of methyl acrylate and the amounts of Pd elution of the carbonaceous products were measured and compared with those of commercial Pd/C catalyst. It indicates that the carbonaceous products are less active than Pd/C. However, the leaching of Pd from carbonaceous products is very small and much less than that from Pd/C.     

Direct oxidation of methane at low temperature using Pt/C,Pd/C,Pt/C-ATO and Pd/C-ATO electrocatalysts prepared by sodium borohydride reduction process

The main objective of this paper was to characterize the voltammetric profiles of the Pt/C,Pt/C-ATO,Pd/C and Pd/CATO electrocatalysts and study their catalytic activities for methane oxidation in an acidic electrolyte at 25 ℃ and in a direct methane proton exchange membrane fuel cell at 80 ℃. The electrocatalysts prepared also were characterized by X-ray diffraction( XRD) and transmission electron microscopy( TEM). The diffractograms of the Pt/C and Pt/C-ATO electrocatalysts show four peaks associated with Pt face-centered cubic( fcc) structure,and the diffractograms of Pd/C and Pd/C-ATO show four peaks associated with Pd face-centered cubic( fcc) structure. For Pt/C-ATO and Pd/C-ATO,characteristic peaks of cassiterite( SnO_2) phase are observed,which are associated with Sb-doped SnO_2( ATO) used as supports for electrocatalysts. Cyclic voltammograms( CV) of all electrocatalysts after adsorption of methane show that there is a current increase during the anodic scan. However,this effect is more pronounced for Pt/C-ATO and Pd/C-ATO. This process is related to the oxidation of the adsorbed species through the bifunctional mechanism,where ATO provides oxygenated species for the oxidation of CO or HCO intermediates adsorbed in Pt or Pd sites. From in situ ATR-FTIR( Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Infrared) experiments for all electrocatalysts prepared the formation of HCO or CO intermediates are observed,which indicates the production of carbon dioxide. Polarization curves at 80 ℃in a direct methane fuel cell( DMEFC) show that Pd/C and Pt/C electroacatalysts have superior performance to Pd/C-ATO and Pt/C-ATO in methane oxidation.     

Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions in water using in situ generated palladium(II)–phosphazane complexes

The phosphazane derivatives(L1–3) were readily obtained by reaction of different ratios of PCl3 and PhNH2. The L1–3 derivatives were found to be efficient ligands in the palladium-catalyzed Suzuki C–C coupling reactions in water. It was determined that with the use of L1–3 /Pd(OAc)2 system as a catalyst, aryl halides undergo Suzuki cross-couplings with arylboronic acids to give the desired products in moderate to excellent yields.     

Online Separation and Preconcentration of Gold and Palladium on Amidinothiourea Immobilized Glass Bead for Interference-Free Flame Atom Absorption Spectrometry Determination

Amidinothiourea immobilized glass bead (AGB) was applied as the microcolumn packing for the flow-injection online separation and preconcentration of Au(III) and Pd(II) coupled with FAAS determination. The peak-area absorbance (A) and the peak-height absorbance (H) were all used as the evaluating modes. Au(III) and Pd(II) in 0.50 M HCl solution were absorbed onto AGB completely and then eluted into AAS with thiourea solution. Base metal ions with a concentration of 2.0 mg/mL and anions with a concentration of 20.0 mg/mL caused no interference in the determination of Au(III) and Pd(II). The LODs of Au(III) and Pd(II) for a preconcentration time of 60 s with a sampling flow rate of 5.0 mL/min for 0.20 μg/mL of Au(III) and 0.30 μg/mL of Pd(II) were 2.7 and 6.5 ng/mL with the H mode and 4.6 and 10.2 ng/mL with the A mode, respectively. The RSD of seven replicate determinations of 0.20 μg/mL of Au(III) and 0.30 μg/mL of Pd(II) were 0.018 and 0.024 for the H mode and 0.013 and 0.018 for the A mode, respectively. The method was successfully applied to the determination of Au and Pd in real samples. __________ From Zhurnal Analiticheskoi Khimii, Vol. 60, No. 10, 2005, pp. 1023–1029.

六氢茚满催化开环: 氢解和阳离子反应路径(英文)

Perhydroindan(bicyclo[4.3.0]nonane) was converted in a flow-type apparatus under a hydrogen pressure of 5 MPa on six different catalysts,namely on a bifunctional Pd/Na,H-Beta zeolite,on Ir/Na,H-Y and Pt/Na,H-Y zeolites with a low concentration of Br?nsted acid sites,and on three catalysts containing the three noble metals on the non-acidic support silica.On the bifunctional zeolite Pd/Na,H-Beta,skeletal isomerization of perhydroindan was the primary reaction followed by opening of one naphthenic ring,the formation of open-chain nonanes in low yields of ca.6%,and hydrocracked products C8-.The carbon number distribution of the latter was volcano-shaped with no C1,C2,C7,and C8 indicating a carbocationic hydrocracking of C9 precursors with one naphthenic ring.On Ir/Na,H-Y and Pt/Na,H-Y("high-performance ring-opening catalysts"),ring opening and hydrocracking to C8-occurred by hydrogenolysis on the respective metal.Opening of the five-membered ring was found to be much faster than opening of the six-membered ring,in agreement with literature reports.The maximal selectivities of open-chain nonanes(OCNs) attained on Ir/Na,H-Y and Pt/Na,H-Y were very high,viz.49% and 54%,respectively,and significantly better than those of the open-chain decanes observed previously with decalin as model hydrocarbon.The OCNs formed on Pt/Na,H-Y were much less branched than those formed on Ir/Na,H-Y which was interpreted in terms of the different hydrogenolysis mechanisms on both metals.Valuable ancillary mechanistic information was obtained from the selectivities of perhydroindan hydroconversion on the three noble metals on silica.In contrast to Pd/silica,Ir/silica and Pt/silica gave appreciable selectivities of OCNs as well,yet the maximum values of these selectivities were lower than those obtained on the two high-performance zeolite catalysts.     

Studies on the esterifications of 9-（hydroxyimino）-4-methyl-8,9-dihydrofuro[2,3-h]chromen-2-one with acid chlorides under different conditions

The esterifications of 9-（hydroxyimino）-4-methyl-8,9-dihydrofuro[2,3-h]chromen-2-one （4） with acid chlorides afforded normal oxime-esters 3a-e in 35-78% yields in presence of excessive 4-dimethylaminopyridine as the acid scavenger, whereas the reactions gave unexpected 8-substituted products N-（8-chloro-4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-furo-[2,3-h]chromen-9-yl）amides （5a-c） and 4-methyl-2,9-dioxo-8,9-dihydro-2H-furo[2,3-h]chromen-8-ylcarboxyloates （6d-e） by using excessive acid chlorides. The structures of 10 new compounds were determined by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS and HRMS, and the possible mechanism for the formation of unexpected products 5a--c and 6d-e was also proposed.     

Syntheses of novel series benzo [1,5] oxazepin-4-one-based compounds from 1,5-difluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene

A novel benzo [ 1,5] oxazepin-4-one skeleton compound and its four derivatives were synthesized effectively from 1,5-difluoro- 2,4-dinitrobenzene （DFDNB） under mild conditions. In the process, four intermediates were synthesized by substitutions of the two fluorine atoms and reductions of the meta-dinitro groups in DFDNB respectively. The results showed that the key for synthesizing the intermediates was the substitution of one of the two fluorine atoms in DFDNB by 3-hydroxy butyric acid ethyl ester first, then the other fluorine atom by morpholine, and then the reduction of the meta-dinitro groups in the substitute by HCOONH4 with Pd/C. The products were purified with silica gel column chromatography, and confirmed by HPLC, LC-MS and 1H NMR. They should contribute to construct the molecular libraries for therapeutic applications.     

Density Functional Study on the Reaction Mechanism for the Reaction of Ni^＋ with Ethane

The mechanism of the reaction of Ni^ (^2D) with ethane in the gas-phase was studied by using density functional theory.Both the B3LYP and BLYP functionals with standard all-electron basis sets are used to give the detailed information of the potential energy surface (PES) of [Ni,C2,H6]^ . The mechanisms forming the products CH4 and H2 in the reaction of Ni^ with ethane are proposed.The reductive eliminations of CH4 and H2 are typical addition-elimination reactions.Each of the two reactions consists of two elementary steps:C-C or C-H bond activations to form inserted species followed by isomerizations to from product-like intermediate.The rate determining steps for the elimination reactions of forming CH4 and H2 are the isomerization of the inserted species rather than C-C or C-H bond activations .The elimination reaction of forming H2 was found to be thermodynamically favored compared to that of CH4.

Optimization of parameters for semiempirical methods. III Extension of PM3 to Be,Mg, Zn,Ga, Ge,As, Se,Cd, In,Sn, Sb,Te, Hg,Tl, Pb,and Bi

Using a recently developed procedure for optimizing parameters for semiempirical methods,¹ PM3 has been extended to a total of 28 elements. Average ΔH_f errors for the newly parameterized elements are Be: 8.6, Mg: 8.4, Zn: 5.8, Ga: 14.9, Ge: 11.4, As: 8.5, Se: 11.1, Cd: 2.6, In: 11.3, Sn: 9.0, Sb: 13.7, Te: 11.3, Hg: 6.8, Tl: 6.5, Pb: 7.4, and Bi: 10.9 kcal/mol. For some elements the paucity of data has resulted in a method, which, while highly accurate, is likely to be only poorly predictive.
