The MLCT absorption band of Ru-DPTP was blue-shifted from 570 to 500 nm upon addition of Hg^2＋. Among a series of surveyed metal ions, the complex showed a unique recognition to Hg^2＋, indicating that it can be used as a selective colorimetric sensor for Hg^2＋.     

Kinetics and Mechanism of Oxidation of Lactic Acid by Dihydroxyditelluratoargentate（Ⅲ）in Alkaline Medium

The kinetics of the oxidation of lactic acid(Lac) by dihydroxyditelluratoargentate(Ⅲ）[abbreviated as DDA of Ag(Ⅲ）]anions was studied in an aqueous alkaline medium by conventional spectrophotometry in a temperature range of 25-40℃.The order of the redox reaction of lactic acid and DDA was found to be first-order.The rates increased with the increase in [OH^-]and decreased with the increase in [tellurate].No free radical was detected.In the view of this the dihydroxymonotelluratoargentate(Ⅲ）species(DMA) is assumed to be the active species.A plausible mechanism involving a two-electron transfer is proposed,and the rate equation derived from the mechanism can be used to explain all the experimenttal results.The activation parameters(25℃）and the rate constants of the rate-determining step along with the preequilibrium constants at different temperatures were evaluated.     

Water-soluble Porphyrin as Temperature Sensor Based on Fluorescent Enhancement

A novel water-soluble porphyrin[5,10,15,20-tetra（3-ethoxy-4-hydroxy-5-sulfonate）phenyl porphyrin, H2TEHPPS] was designed and synthesized, which could be used as a potential fluorescence sensor to detect temperature changes. The studies were performed in solution phase and the concentration of H2TEHPPS was 2.0×10^-5 mol/L. The optical properties of H2TEHPPS were investigated based on the UV and fluorescence spectra. The results show that the fluorescence intensity of H2TEHPPS is directly proportional to temperature in the range of 293-353 K So H,TEHPPS can be used as a molecular temoerature sensor in biomedical and other fields.     

Kinetics and Mechanism of the Photo-oxidation of Thiophene by O2 Adsorbed on Molecular Sieves

Photochemical oxidation of thiophene in n-octane/water extraction system using O2 as oxidant was studied. The reaction mechanism ofthiophene oxidation was proposed. Results obtained here can be used as the reference for the oxidative desulfurization of gasoline because thiophene is one of the main components containing sulfur in fluid catalytic cracking gasoline. Thiophene dissolved in n-octane was photodecomposed and removed into the water phase at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure. A 500 W high-pressure mercury lamp （main wave length 365 nm, 0.22 kW/m） was used as light source for irradiation, and air was introduced by a gas pump to supply O2. Thiophene can be photo-oxidized to sulfone, oxalic acid, SO4^2-, and CO2. The desulfurization yield of thiophene in n-octane is 58.9% under photo-irradiation for 5 h under the conditions of air flow at 150 mL/min and V（water）：V（n-octane）=1：1. It can be improved to 92.3% by adding 0.15 g zeoliteartificial into 100 mL reaction system, which is the adsorbent for O2 and thiophene. And under such conditions, the photo-oxidation kinetics of thiophene with O2/zeoliteartificial is first-order with an apparent rate constant of 0.5047 h^-1 and a half-time of 1.37 h. The sulfur content can be depressed from 800 μL/L to less than 62 μL/L.     

Purification and Characterization of Superoxide Dismutase （SOD） from Camellia Pollen

A superoxide dismutase（ SOD ） was purified to homogeneity from fresh camellia pollen by means of ammonium sulfate precipitation and column chromatography with DEAE-cellulose（ DE52 ）, Sephadex G-100 and phenyl sepharose^TM 6 Fast Flow columns. Its specific activity could reach to 4034 U/mg protein and it was determined to be Cu/ Zn-SOD according to its different sensitivities to different inhibitors. The molecular weight of the SOD and its subunit were 69500 and 34700, respectively, based on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis （SDS- PAGE）, which implicates that the SOD in camellia pollen is a dimmer composed of two identical subunits. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was determined to be 4. 1 by isoelectric focusing electrophoresis and the N-terminal amino acid was identified to be Gly by the DNS-Cl method. Its α-Helix was also calculated to be approximately 21.8% according to the circular dichroism（CD） spectra.     

CATALYTIC WET PEROXIDE OXIDATION OF HYDROQUINONE WITH Co（II）/ACTIVE CARBON CATALYST LOADED IN STATIC BED

Catalysts based on Co（II） supported on active carbon were prepared and loaded in static bed. The hydroquinone would be degraded completely after treated by Catalytic wet peroxide oxidation method with Co（II）/active carbon catalyst. After activate treatment, the active carbon was immerged in cobaltous nitrate solution, then put into a drying oven, Co（II） could be loaded on the micro-surface of carbon. Taking the static bed as the equipment, the absorption of active carbon and catalysis of Co（II） was used to reduce activation energy of hydroquinone. Thus hydroquinone could be drastically degraded and the effluent can be drained under the standard. Referring to Fenton reaction mechanism, experiment had been done to study the heterogeneous catalyzed oxidation mechanism of Co（II）. The degradation rate of hydroquinone effluent could be achieved to 92% when treated in four columns at H2O2 concentration 10%, reaction temperature 40 ℃, pH 5 and reaction time 2.5h.

Green synthesis of polyimides and their CNT based nanohybrid shish-kebabs through reaction-induced crystallization of nylon-salt-type monomers in glycerol

A green approach to the synthesis and morphological control of high performance polyimides and their nanohybrid shish-kebabs in glycerol through reaction-induced crystallization of nylon-salt-type monomers was reported. Crystalline polyimide nanoplates can be observed by direct polycondensation of pyromellitic acid with various kinds of aliphatic or aromatic diamines. With the existence of carbon nanotuhes, the polyimides can be successfully decorated on the surface of CNTs through a reaction-induced hetero-epitaxial crystallization process, and resulted in novel polyimide/CNT nanohybrid shish-kebabs （NHSKs） structures. The morphologies of the NHSKs can be fine-tuned through changing the concentration of monomers or the reaction temperature, especially through the introduction of dynamic imine chemistry, the formation process of NHSKs can be attributed to a soft epitaxy mechanism. Thus a green approach for the synthesis of high performance polyimides and their CNT based nanohybrid structures was explored, which should be of great value for their applications in high performance reinforced nanocomposites.     

Effect of dispersion and distribution of tungsten on W/HZSM-5 for selective catalytic reduction of NO by acetylene

Catalytic performance of W/HZSM-5 in selective catalytic reduction of NO by acetylene was investigated in a reaction system with 1600 ppm of NO, 800 ppm of C2H2, and 9.95% of O2 in He. It was found that promotional effect of tungsten on the reaction is strongly affected by catalyst preparation conditions and Si/Al ratio of the parent zeolite. A better dispersion of tungsten on HZSM-5 and relatively more monomeric tungsten species were found on 8%W/HZSM-5 prepared by impregnation of the zeolite with lower SiO2/A1203 ratio （25） in ammonic ammonium tungstate solution and calcination of the resulting material at higher temperature （550 ℃）. The highest NO conversion to N2 of 86.3% in the reaction system was obtained at 350 ℃ over the catalyst thus prepared. The mechanism of monomeric tungsten species improving the C2H2-SCR can be attributed to accelerating the formation of active nitrate species.     

PREPARATION AND PROPERTIES OF FUMED SILICA/CYANATE ESTER NANOCOMPOSITES

Fumed silica/bisphenol A dicyanate ester（BADCy）nanocomposites were prepared by introducing different contents of nano-sized fumed SiO₂ into the BADCy matrix.Two different average primary particle diameters of 12 and 40 nm were chosen.Dibutyltindilaurate（DBTDL）catalyst was chosen to catalyze the cyanate ester group into triazine group via cyclotrimerization reaction.The SEM micrographs indicated that the fumed SiO₂ particles were homogeneously dispersed in the poly（bisphenol A dicyanate）matrix by means of ultrasonic treatment and the addition of a coupling agent. The FTIR spectroscopy shows that,not only DBTDL catalyzes the polymerization reaction but also-OH groups of the SiO₂ particles surface help the catalyst for the complete polymerization of BADCy monomer.The thermal stability of the cured BADCy can be improved by adequate addition of fumed SiO₂.A slight increase in the dielectric constant and dielectric loss values were identified by testing the dielectric properties of the prepared nanocomposite samples.By increasing the SiO₂ content,there was a slight increasing in the thermal conductivity values of the tested samples.The obtained results proved that the fumed silica/BADCy nanocomposites had good thermal and dielectrical properties and can be used in many applications such as in the thermal insulation field.

The thermal decomposition of Zn-MPA complex was investigated under microwave irradiation. ZnO and ZnS nanocrystals could be obtained by decomposing Zn-MPA（3-mercaptopropionic acid） complex under different reaction conditions. It was found that both the pH value of the solution and the molar ratio of Zn2＋ and MPA can play an important role in the formation of ZnO and ZnS nanocrystals. MPA mainly acts as an S source or as a complexing agent. This study provides a new route for the controllable preparation of semiconductor nanocrystals.

The crystal belongs to the monoclinic system, space group P21/c with a = 8.7110（9）, b = 14.7143（14）, c = 14.8507（15） A, β = 109.721（6）°, V = 1791.9（3） A3, Z = 4, Dc = 1.916 g/cm3, CI7H16CulN3S2, Mr = 516.89, λ（MoKa） = 0.71073A,μ = 3.178 mm^-1, F（000） = 1012, the final R = 0.0369 and wR = 0.0987. A total of 4082 unique reflections were collected, of which 2916 with I 〉 2σ（I） were observed. The Cu（Ⅱ） atom is five-coordinated in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry by one I atom in the apical position, two S atoms from a prdtc ligand and two N atoms from a phen ligand in the basal plane. There exist face-to-face aromatic π-π stacking interactions between adjacent phen ligands stabilizing the structure and making the complex assemble into a 1D structure along the a axis. It can be concluded that the difference of the dtc flexibility and reaction conditions result in the structural difference between complex 1 and CuI（dmdtc）（phen） （dmdtc = N, N-dimethyldithiocarbamate）.

Methyl Iodide Accelerated Asymmetric Epoxidation of Alkenes Catalyzed by Chiral Salen-Mn（Ⅲ） Complexes with Tertiary Amine Units

A series of chiral salen-Mn（Ⅲ） complexes featuring two tertiary amine units were synthesized and employed in the enantioselective epoxidation of unfunctionalized alkenes in the presence of pyridine N-oxide and 2,6-dimethylpyridine N-oxide as proximal ligands, respectively. Moderate to high enantioselectivity and acceptable yields were achieved when NaClO was used as terminal oxidant under CH2Cl2/H2O biphasic media. Methyl iodide was found to be an effective additive to accelerate the epoxidation, possibly owing to the formation of quaternary ammonium units on catalysts, which may facilitate the reaction in an oil/water biphasic medium. The subsequent stimulation experiment was carried out, and the resulting ESI-HRMS analysis revealed the formation of a novel （salen）manganese（m） intermediate featuring two quaternary ammonium units, and bearing a pyridine N-oxide and a molecule of water simultaneously axially-coordinated backbone.
