On Dialkali Metal Dichalcogenides β-Na₂S₂, K₂S₂, α-Rb₂S₂, β-Rb₂S₂, K₂Se₂, Rb₂Se₂, α-K₂Te₂, β-K₂Te₂ and Rb₂Te₂ The first presentation of pure samples of α- and β-Rb₂S₂, α- and β-K₂Te₂, and Rb₂Te₂ is described. Using single crystals of K₂S₂ and K₂Se₂, received by ammonothermal synthesis, the structure of the Na₂O₂ type and by using single crystals of β-Na₂S₂ and β-K₂Te₂ the Li₂O₂ type structure will be refined. By combined investigations with temperature-dependent Guinier-, neutron diffraction-, thermal analysis, and Raman-spectroscopy the nature of the monotropic phase transition from the Na₂O₂ type to the Li₂O₂ type will be explained by means of the examples α-/β-Na₂S₂ and α-/β-K₂Te₂. A further case of dimorphic condition as well as the monotropic phase transition of α- and β-Rb₂S₂ is presented. The existing areas of the structure fields of the dialkali metal dichalcogenides are limited by the model of the polar covalence.

Solid-supported [2+2+2] cyclotrimerizations

The transition-metal-catalyzed [2+2+2] cyclotrimerization of a diyne and an alkyne provides a convergent route to highly-substituted aromatic rings. This reaction possesses distinct drawbacks, especially low chemo- and regioselectivities, which hamper its application in combinatorial synthesis. These problems have been solved by the development of solid-supported [2+2+2]-cycloaddition reactions. If conducted on a solid-support, this reaction enables rapid combinatorial access to diverse sets of carbo- and heterocyclic small-molecule arrays. The scope of this methodology has been investigated by examining different immobilization strategies, different diyne precursors, and a variety of functionalized alkyne reaction partners. Overall, isoindoline, phthalan, and indan libraries were assembled in good to excellent yields and with high purities.     

Efficient C2 functionalisation of 2H-2-imidazolines

Alkylation and oxidation of 2H-2-imidazolines, followed by regioselective deprotection, thionation and microwave-assisted Liebeskind-Srogl reaction, efficiently led to 2-aryl-2-imidazolines as new analogues of p53-hdm2 interaction inhibitors (Nutlins).     

Zur Kristallstruktur von Rb2C2 und Cs2C2

On the Crystal Structure of Rb₂C₂ and Cs₂C₂ By reaction of rubidium or caesium solved in liquid ammonia with acetylene AC₂H with A = Rb, Cs was obtained, which was subsequently converted into the binary acetylide A₂C₂ in vacuum at temperatures of 520 K (Rb₂C₂) and 470 K (Cs₂C₂) using a surplus of the respective alkali metal. The crystal structures of the very air sensitive compounds were solved and refined by a combination of both neutron and X‐ray powder diffraction data. Rb₂C₂ as well as Cs₂C₂ coexist in two modifications. The hexagonal modification (P 6 2m, Z = 3) crystallises in the known Na₂O₂ structure type with two crystallographic independent sites for the C₂^2– dumbbells. For the orthorhombic modification (Pnma, Z = 4) a new structure type was found, which is related to the PbCl₂ structure type with ordered C₂^2– dumbbells occupying the Pb sites. Temperature dependent investigations between 4 K and the decomposition temperature by the means of neutron and X‐ray powder diffraction resulted in a very complex dynamic disorder of the C₂ dumbbells, which is still not completely understood. The frequencies of the C–C stretching vibration determined by the help of Raman spectroscopy fit nicely to the results obtained for other alkali metal acetylides and alkali metal hydrogen acetylides. These results seem to indicate that the electronegativity of the alkali metal has a strong influence on the frequency of the C–C stretching vibration.     

Synthesis,Characterization and Crystal Structure of (PhCH2)2Sn(S2CENt2) and (PhCH2)2Sn(S2CNC4H8)2

Two new dibenzyltin bisditiocarbamates(PhCH2)2 Sn(S2CNEt2)2(1) and (PhCH2)2 Sn(S2CNC4H8)2(2) were synthesized by the reaction of dibenzyltin dichloride with dithiocarbamates and characterized by elemental analysis ,IR,^1H NMR and MS spectra.The crystal structures were determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis.In both complexes,the tin atom is six-coordinated in a distorted octahedral configuration.In the crystals of 1,the molecular packing in unit cell reveals that the two adjacent molecules are symmetrically linked to each other in dimers by two Sn S interactions of 0.3816nm.In the crystals of 2,the molecules are packed in the unit cell in one-dimensional chain structure linked by weaker intermolecular S S conmtacts.     

Ni(Et2PCH2NMeCH2PEt2)2]2+ as a functional model for hydrogenases

The reaction of Et(2)PCH(2)N(Me)CH(2)PEt(2) (PNP) with [Ni(CH(3)CN)(6)](BF(4))(2) results in the formation of [Ni(PNP)(2)](BF(4))(2), which possesses both hydride- and proton-acceptor sites. This complex is an electrocatalyst for the oxidation of hydrogen to protons, and stoichiometric reaction with hydrogen forms [HNi(PNP)(PNHP)](BF(4))(2), in which a hydride ligand is bound to Ni and a proton is bound to a pendant N atom of one PNP ligand. The free energy associated with this reaction has been calculated to be -5 kcal/mol using a thermodynamic cycle. The hydride ligand and the NH proton undergo rapid intramolecular exchange with each other and intermolecular exchange with protons in solution. [HNi(PNP)(PNHP)](BF(4))(2) undergoes reversible deprotonation to form [HNi(PNP)(2)](BF(4)) in acetonitrile solutions (pK(a) = 10.6). A convenient synthetic route to the PF(6)(-) salt of this hydride involves the reaction of PNP with Ni(COD)(2) to form Ni(PNP)(2), followed by protonation with NH(4)PF(6). A pK(a) of value of 22.2 was measured for this hydride. This value, together with the half-wave potentials of [Ni(PNP)(2)](BF(4))(2), was used to calculate homolytic and heterolytic Ni-H bond dissociation free energies of 55 and 66 kcal/mol, respectively, for [HNi(PNP)(2)](PF(6)). Oxidation of [HNi(PNP)(2)](PF(6)) has been studied by cyclic voltammetry, and the results are consistent with a rapid migration of the proton from the Ni atom of the resulting [HNi(PNP)(2)](2+) cation to the N atom to form [Ni(PNP)(PNHP)](2+). Estimates of the pK(a) values of the NiH and NH protons of these two isomers indicate that proton migration from Ni to N should be favorable by 1-2 pK(a) units. Cyclic voltammetry and proton exchange studies of [HNi(depp)(2)](PF(6)) (where depp is Et(2)PCH(2)CH(2)CH(2)PEt(2)) are also presented as control experiments that support the important role of the bridging N atom of the PNP ligand in the proton exchange reactions observed for the various Ni complexes containing the PNP ligand. Similarly, structural studies of [Ni(PNBuP)(2)](BF(4))(2) and [Ni(PNP)(dmpm)](BF(4))(2) (where PNBuP is Et(2)PCH(2)N(Bu)CH(2)PEt(2) and dmpm is Me(2)PCH(2)PMe(2)) illustrate the importance of tetrahedral distortions about Ni in determining the hydride acceptor ability of Ni(II) complexes.

超亲水TiO2和TiO2-SiO2表面的动态润湿性

1997年, Fujishima研究组[1]发现TiO2表面经UV光照射能产生较强的亲水性, 同时具有较高的亲油性, 即经UV光照射后的TiO2表面具有超双亲的性质. 这种防雾和自清洁性在工业上应用广泛, 已引起了人们的极大兴趣[2～5]. 进一步的研究发现, 超亲水的TiO2表面在暗处放置会变为疏水表面. 对于这个问题, 除了可以通过UV光照[6]、氩离子或电子束溅射[6]和高温热处理[5]等恢复其超亲水性外, 还可以通过添加摩尔分数为10%～30%的SiO2有效地降低TiO2表面的接触角, 提高UV光诱导的超亲水表面在暗处的稳定性能[3]. 另外, 诱导TiO2的亲水性需要较强的UV线强度(如太阳光), 使它在室内应用受到限制. 为了在室内实现TiO2的自清洁功能, Watanabe等[4]发现在TiO2中添加WO3可使TiO2在室内的照明光下也能实现亲水性转变. 以上这些研究成果为TiO2在工业和生活上的实际应用提供了重要的科学依据. 然而, TiO2的防雾和自清洁功能的实现同时也受其动力学性质的制约.     

Quenching of I(2P1/2) by NO2, N2O4, and N2O

Quenching of excited iodine atoms (I(5p5, 2P1/2)) by nitrogen oxides are processes of relevance to discharge-driven oxygen iodine lasers. Rate constants at ambient and elevated temperatures (293-380 K) for quenching of I(2P1/2) atoms by NO2, N2O4, and N2O have been measured using time-resolved I(2P1/2) --> I(2P3/2) 1315 nm emission. The excited atoms were generated by pulsed laser photodissociation of CF3I at 248 nm. The rate constants for I(2P1/2) quenching by NO2 and N2O were found to be independent of temperature over the range examined with average values of (2.9 +/- 0.3) x 10(-15) and (1.4 +/- 0.1) x 10(-15) cm3 s(-1), respectively. The rate constant for quenching of I(2P1/2) by N2O4 was found to be (3.5 +/- 0.5) x 10(-13) cm3 s(-1) at ambient temperature.

Transformation of organic molecules on the low-valent [M(Ph(2)PCH(2)CH(2)PPh(2))(2)] moiety derived from trans-[M(N(2))(2)(Ph(2)PCH(2)CH(2)PPh(2))(2)] or related complexes (M = Mo, W)

A zero-valent [M(Ph(2)PCH(2)CH(2)PPh(2))(2)] moiety (M = Mo, W) generated in situ by dissociation of the N(2) ligands in trans-[M(N(2))(2)(Ph(2)PCH(2)CH(2)PPh(2))(2)] can activate pi-accepting organic molecules including isocyanides and nitriles, which undergo the electrophilic attack caused by a strong pi-donation from a zero-valent metal center. Cleavage of a variety of C-X bonds (X = H, C, N, O, P, halogen) also occurs at their electron-rich sites through oxidative addition to form reactive intermediates, which subsequently degradate to yield smaller molecules either bound to or dissociated from the metal center. The mechanism is substantiated unambiguously by isolation of numerous intermediate stages.     

Crystal Structures of [Bu2Sn(O2PPh2)2], [Ph2Sn(O2PPh2)2], and [PhClSn(O2PPh2)OMe]2. Raman Spectra of [Ph2Sn(O2PPh2)2] and [PhClSn(O2PPh2)OMe]2

X‐ray diffraction studies show 1 to crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 1303.7(1) pm, b = 2286.9(2) pm, c = 1063.1(1) pm, β = 94.383(6)°, and Z = 4. 2 crystallizes triclinic in the space group , the cell parameters being a = 1293.2(2) pm, b = 1478.5(4) pm, c = 1507.2(3) pm, α = 98.86(3)°, β = 109.63(2)°, γ = 114.88(2)°, and Z = 2. Both compounds form arrays of eight‐membered rings (SnOPO)₂ linked at the tin atoms to form chains of infinite length. The dimer 3 consists of a like ring, in which the tin atoms are bridged by methoxo groups. It crystallizes triclinic in space group with a = 946.4(1) pm, b = 963.7(1) pm, c = 1174.2(1) pm, α = 82.495(6)°, β = 66.451(6)°, γ = 74.922(6)°, and Z = 1 for the dimer.

Cerium-modified Ni-La_2O_3/ZrO_2 for CO_2 methanation

The key point in CO_2 methanation is to improve the activity at low temperature and the stability.For this purpose,a new cerium-modified Ni-La_2O_3/ZrO_2 catalyst was prepared using La_(1-x)Ce_xNiO_3/ZrO_2 with perovskite phase as the precursor,which was obtained by citrate complexation combined with an impregnation method.The resulting catalyst was characterized through Nitrogen adsorption and desorption,X-ray diffraction (XRD),Transmission electron microscopy (TEM),Hydrogen temperature programmed reduction (H_2-)TPR),Temperature-programmed desorption of CO_2 (CO_2-TPD) and that of H_2 (H_2-TPD),and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques,and the catalytic performances for CO_2 methanation was investigated.Cerium modification could improve the effective activation of CO_2,thus enhancing the activity at low temperature for CO_2 methanation.The metal Ni nanoparticles prepared using this method were highly dispersed and showed excellent resistance to sintering,leading to very good stability,which could be attributed to the following:Ni nanoparticles could be confined by cerium-modified La_2O_3;La_2O_3could be confined by the cerium ions at the La_2O_3/ZrO_2 interface;and the cerium ions were confined by ZrO_2.
