应用量子化学密度泛函理论研究了燃煤烟气中As和AsO与O_2均相生成As_2O_3的反应机理。首先计算确定了各反应物、中间体、过渡态和产物的结构和能量,然后运用热力学和动力学方法对As_2O_3均相生成过程进行分析。结果表明,由As和AsO与O_2均相生成As_2O_3的最大反应能垒分别为32.9和157.2kJ/mol,在烟气中由As转化为As_2O_3更为容易进行。在500-1900 K下,各反应的正逆反应速率常数均随温度的提高而增大,但不同反应过程受温度影响的程度不同。As与O_2反应生成AsO和AsO_2的两个反应过程的平衡常数在所研究的温度范围内均大于10~5,能完全反应,可以认为是单向反应。AsO与O_2反应生成AsO_2的过程平衡常数在所研究的温度范围内小于10~5,反应不完全,转化率低。AsO与AsO_2生成As_2O_3(D3H)构型的平衡常数极低,反应难以进行,而生成As_2O_3(GAUCHE)构型反应能垒低,可自发进行。     

Determination of chlorophenoxy acid herbicides and their esters in soil by capillary high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection, using large volume injection and temperature gradient

A simple method for the simultaneous determination of chlorophenoxy acid herbicides and their esters in soil is presented. Compounds studied are: 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)butanoic acid (2,4-DB), 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic-1-butyl ester (2,4-D-1-butyl ester), and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic-1-methyl ester (2,4-D-1-methyl ester).

The chromatographic analysis was carried out by HPLC, after ultrasonic extraction, on a C₁₈ packed capillary column with temperature gradient, large injection volumes and UV detection at 232 nm. Samples were spiked with amounts between 2.5 and 6.0 μg g⁻¹ of each herbicide; recoveries obtained were between 72 and 97% (n=3 for each spiked level) and detection limits were between 0.3 and 0.5 μg g⁻¹.

Application of this procedure to the analysis of herbicides in ester and acid forms showed the effectiveness of the methodology proposed.     

Diaziridines thermal cleavage possibilities: Disrotatory or conrotatory?

Ab initio calculations are carried out at UB3LYP/6-311++G (3df, 2p) levels of theory, on electrocyclic thermal cleavage of four (S) derivatives of diaziridines, 1_X-R, to their corresponding (Z) and (E) azomethine imides (2_X-Z, 2_X-E, 3_X-Z and 3_X-E), where X=–H, –Me, t-Bu and Ph. Cleavage of 1_X-R Series to 2_X-Z (Path 1) emerged as the more favored, for producing the most stable products, 2_X-Z. In IRC calculations that were shown in Paths 1 and 2, C₆–N₁ bond was cleavage, before reaching reaction rate determinating step (transition state).     

Radical additions to fluoro-olefins. photochemical mono-fluoroalkylation and sequential bis-fluoroalkylation of oxolane

Oxolane was fluoroalkylated by its photoadditions under atmospheric pressure. Monofluoro-alkylations were carried out with hexafluoropropene (1) and perfluorovinyl ethers C₃F₇O-[CF(CF₃)CF₂O]_n-CF = CF₂ (24, n = 0–2) by direct photoexcitation of the olefins to give high yields of addition products 9–12 (81–94%). The reactions were completely regioselecti ve at the oxolane molecule and almost completely regioselective (93–99%) at the double bond of fluoro-olefins; no bis-fluoroalkylated oxolanes were detected. The completely selective introduction of a second fluoroalkyl into position 5 of the oxolane molecule was accomplished by acetone-sensitised photoaddition of 2fluoroalkylated oxolanes 9,10 to fluoro-olefins 1 and 2. Byproducts from reactions of the dimethylketyl radical which is formed in the initiation step were isolated and have given some evidence about the reaction mechanism that is discussed.

高催化活性M-BHT(M=Co， Cu)电催化还原CO2为CH4的密度泛函理论研究

具有独特电子结构和丰富催化位点的二维金属有机框架材料是具有高活性的CO₂还原反应的电催化剂. 本文基于密度泛函理论(DFT)计算, 发现单层Co-BHT(BHT=benzenehexathiol, 苯六硫醇)将CO₂还原为CH₄时具有很高的催化活性. 吉布斯自由能变化计算结果表明, 在Co-BHT上将CO₂还原成CH₄的最佳反应路径为CO₂→^*COOH→^*CO→^*CHO→^*CHOH→^*CH→^*CH₂→^*CH₃→CH₄; 整个反应的速度控制步骤为^*CO→^*CHO; 速度控制步骤的吉布斯自由能变化(ΔG_L)为0.66 eV, 比在二维Cu-C₃N₄(ΔG_L=0.75 eV)和传统的Cu(211) 表面(ΔG_L=0.74 eV) 将CO₂还原为CH₄的吉布斯自由能变化都小. 而在单层Cu-BHT表面的反应路径和速度控制步骤 (CO₂→^*COOH)与Co-BHT均不同, 且ΔG_L为0.76 eV. 与Cu-BHT相比, Co-BHT将CO₂还原为CH₄的ΔG_L更低, 这可能归因于Co-BHT的d能带中心高于Cu-BHT, 导致Co-BHT与中间体的相互作用更强.

Raman spectroscopic verification of fac-Sc(PMBP)3 by solid and solute spectra and density functional method calculation

Two kinds of solids were obtained for Sc(PMBP)₃ by precipitation from different solvents. They were light-yellow crystal and yellowish-white powder, and their melting points were 209 and 217 °C, respectively. Raman spectra of six anhydrous samples prepared from these materials were measured and classified into two types of spectral patterns. Raman solute spectra of these two materials were measured in a dilute solution of dichloromethane, in which the solute is a free molecule in a solvent cage. Their spectra were considerably similar to each other, but they indicated clear differences in some pairs of bands. One of these two molecules was concluded to be a facial form of Sc(PMBP)₃, because the other constituent has been established to be a meridional form of Sc(PMBP)₃ by X-ray analysis of a single crystal. Structural optimization for mer- and fac-Sc(PMBP)₃ and their vibrational calculation of frequencies and intensities were carried out with the density functional method of B3LYP/6-31G**. Their computed Raman spectra were well coincident with their observed spectra. The existence of fac-Sc(PMBP)₃ has been established by thermal analysis, Raman spectroscopy and ab initio calculation.     

The reactivity of dimethylaluminum hydride with the aminoarsines Me2AsNMe2, MeAs(NMe2)2, and As(NMe2)3

The reactions of (Me₂AlH)₃ with Me₂AsNMe₂, MeAs(NMe₂)₂, and As(NMe₂)₃ were investigated as a function of time at room temperature and over the temperature range −90 to 24°C by use of ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. (Me₂AlH)₃ was found to be very reactive toward the aminoarsines, even at −90°C, and no stable Me₂AlH-aminoarsine adducts were observed. Instead, the initial stages of the reactions involved AS---N bond cleavage with the generation of highly reactive AlN- and AsH-bonded species. The subsequent course of each reaction and the final arsenic-containing product distribution depended upon the original AL:N stoichiometric ratio and the respective aminoarsine. When the Al:N ratio was 1:1, the reactions were straightforward for each aminoarsine. However, in every case, [Me₂AlNMe₂]₂ was the final AlN-containing product. Independent reactions were carried out to verify many of the proposed decomposition pathways that lead to thermodynamically stable products. The results of this study are compared with those of the analogous, previously reported (Me₃Al)₂-aminoarsine systems. Additionally, a new synthetic route to [Me₂AlAsMe₂]₃ has been established from the reaction of (Me₂AlH)₃ with Me₂AsH.     

Spectra and structure of phosphorus-boron compounds : IV. Vibrational spectra of solid trifluorophosphineborane

The Raman spectra of F₃PBH₃ and F₃PBD₃ have been recorded (2500-10 cm⁻¹) of the liquids (−80°C) and solids (−196°C) as well as the infrared spectra (4000-33 cm⁻¹) of the solids. In the spectrum of the solid state many of the ¹⁰B and ¹¹B fundamentals were clearly defined and it was also possible to assign the BH₃ torsional frequency from the infrared and Raman spectra of the solids. A complete vibrational assignment is proposed and a normal coordinate calculation carried out. The force constant of 2.46 mdyn Å⁻¹ for the P-B stretching mode is consistent with the short P-B bond; this constant is compared to the similar quantity for several other phosphorus-boron compounds. All of the E modes for the “free” molecule are shown to be split by the site symmetry which indicates that the molecules occupy C_s or C₁ sites. The large number of observed lattice modes is consistent with two or more molecules per primitive cell. The torsional frequency was observed at 224 cm⁻¹ and 167 cm⁻¹ in hydrogen and deuterium compounds in the solid, respectively. These frequencies gave a periodic barrier of 4.15 kcal mole⁻¹ for F₃PBH₃ and 4.31 kcal mole⁻¹ for F₃PBD₃. CNDO/2 calculations have been carried out for F₃PBH₃ and the isoelectronic F₃SiCH₃ molecule in both the staggered and eclipsed forms and the dipole and barrier origins are discussed.     

Preparation of a palladium dimer with a cobalt-containing bulky phosphine ligand: Its application in palladium catalyzed Suzuki reactions

A palladium dimer with a cobalt-containing phosphine ligand, {(μ-PPh₂CH₂PPh₂)Co₂(CO)₄(μ,η-(tBu)₂PCCC₆H₄-κC¹)Pd(μ-Cl)}₂ (3), was prepared from the reaction of its monomer precursor, (μ-PPh₂CH₂PPh₂)Co₂(CO)₄(μ,η-(tBu)₂PCCC₆H₄-κC¹)Pd(μ-OAc) (2), with LiCl. The crystal structure of 3, determined by X-ray diffraction methods, revealed a doubly chloride-bridged palladium dimeric conformation. Suzuki coupling reactions of bromobenzene with phenylboronic acid were carried out catalytically using these two novel palladium complexes 2 and 3 as catalyst precursors. Factors such as the molar ratio of substrate/catalyst, reaction temperature, base and solvent that might affect the catalytic efficiencies were investigated. As a general rule, the performance is much better by employing 3 than 2 as the catalyst precursor.

The asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of ferrocenyl ketones, such as FcC(O)CH₂Y [Fc = ferrocenyl, Y = H (1a), CH₃ (1b), Cl (1c) or N₃ (1d)] has been carried out using the Noyori/Ikariya catalysts [(−)-(1R,2S)-ephedrine] or N-tosyl-(1R,2R)-diphenylethylenediamine [(R,R)-TsDPEN] as chiral ligands combined with [RuCl₂(η⁶-benzene)]₂ and 2-PrOH or HCO₂H–Et₃N as the hydrogen sources, respectively. The best results were achieved with the [(R,R)-TsDPEN–Ru^IIHCO₂H–Et₃N] catalytic system, which produced the ferrocenylalcohols (R)-2a, (R)-2c, and (R)-2d in good yields and excellent enantiomeric excesses (>98% ee).
