CHARACTERIZATION OF IRON COMPLEXES SUPPORTED ON POLYMER AND THEIR CATALYTIC ACTIVITY IN BUTADIENE POLYMERIZATION

Styrene-acrylic acid copolymer (SAAC)-supported iron complex (SAAC·Fe)was characterized and the effect of the characteristic parameters on the catalytic activity of the complex was investigated. IR spectrum suggested that the complex SAAC·Fe possesses a structure of(C)and the Fe-O bond is higher in covalency.The complex SAAC·Fe with the structure of(C)shoved a higher catalytic activity in butadiene polymerization. When Fe/-COOH molar ratio in SAAC·Fe was about 0.2 the complex gave optimum catalytic activity. The catalytic activity of SAAC·Fe with the higher content of long sequence of acrylic acid units was low. When the content of the short sequence of acrylic acid units was predominant and at the same time the content of the short sequence was approximately equal to that of the long sequence for stryrene, the activity of the complex was high.     

POLYMER-SUPPORTED RARE EARTH CATALYSTS FOR STYRENE POLYMERIZATION

The neodymium complex supported on styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer (SMA·Nd) has been prepared for the first time and found to be a highly effective catalyst for the polymerization of styrene. The SMA·Nd polymeric complex is characterized by IR and its catalytic activity, and the polymerization features have been investigated in comparison with that of the conventional Ziegler-Natta catalysts. When [Nd]=1×10~(-3) mol/L, [M]=5mol/L, Al/Nd=170(mol ratio) and CCl_4/Nd=50(mol ratio), the polymerization conversion of styrene gets to 51.6% in six hours, and the catalytic activity reaches 1852 gPS/gNd, which is much higher than that of conventional rare earth catalysts. The polymerization reaction has an induction period and shows some characteristics of chain polymerization. The polymerization rate is the first order with respect to the concentration of styrene monomer. Addition of FeCl_3 does not suppress the polymerization.     

HYDROGENATION OF PHENOL AND CRESOLS CATALYZED BY CHITOSAN SUPPORTED PALLADIUM COMPLEX AT MILD CONDITIONS

A natural polymer catalyst, sillca-supported chitosan palladium complex (abbr. asSiO_2-CS-Pd) was found to catalyze the hydrogenation of phenol and cresols to correspond-ing cyclohexanones in high yield and 100% selectivity at 70℃ and 1.01325×10~5 Pa mildconditions. N/Pd molar ratio in the complex, temperature and solvents have much infiuenceon the reaction. The reactivity order of reactants was found to be: phenol >m->p->o-cresol. The catalyst is stable during the reaction and could be repeatedly used for severaltimes without much decrease in its catalytic activity.     

STUDY ON Li-TiO_2 CATALYSTS FOR METHANE OXIDATIVE COUPLING

Methlane oxidative coupling over Li-TiO_2 catalysts prepared by im-regating rutile with aqueous solution of LiOH has been studied.X-raydiffraction(XRD),X-ray photoelectron spetroscopy(XPS),temperatureprogrammed reduction(TPR)and TPDE were used for catalyst characteriza-tion.The results showed that the catalytic activity of the samples dramaticallyincreased with Li/Ti ratio increasing from 2.0 to 2.1.At 780℃,CH_4/air=1/3 and GHSV=6000 mL·g~(-1)·h~(-1),a 45.6% CH_4 coversion and 51.3%C_2selectivity were obtained over the catalyst with Li/Ti ratio of 2.5、XRD andTPR reults revealed that the catalytic performance was related to the oxidationstate of titanium,the catalytic activity of Ti~(3+) was higher than that of Ti~ (4+) andexcessive content of Li stabilized Ti~(3+)in the samples.TPDE studies showed thatthe decomposition of Li_2CO_3 on the catalyst surface may promote the redox cir-culation of Ti and the releasing of lattice oxygen     

Effect of different metal sulfate precursors on structural and catalytic performance of zirconia in dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether

ZrO_2 was treated with 10% SO_4~(2-) from different metal sulfate precursors for methanol dehydration to dimethyl ether.All the samples exhibited tetragonal phase and no diffraction peaks corresponding to metal sulfates or metal oxides were observed.The FT-IR results revealed that there were different interactions between sulfate and ZrO_2,and this had a great effect on the surface area of the samples.The catalytic activity was measured over the catalysts in the temperature range of 100-300 ℃.The results revealed that sulfated zirconia with CuSO_4·5 H_2O and Al_2(SO_4)_3·16 H_2O showed the best catalytic activity.The maximum yield of DME ≈87% was obtained over CuSZ at a reaction temperature of 275 ℃.Moreover,the catalytic activity of the catalysts was correlated well with their surface acidity that measured by dehydration of isopropanol.     

CO2重整甲烷制合成气催化剂六铝酸盐LaNiy/Al12-yO19-δ的研究

A series of Ni modified hexaaluminates LaNi y Al 12- y O 19- δ ( y =0 3, 0 6, 0 9, 1 0) were prepared by decomposition of nitrates and calcination at high temperature. The crystalline structure and catalytic properties for CO 2 reforming of methane to synthesis gas were investigated by using XRD, XPS, TPR and TGA techniques. The results showed that a pure hexaaluminate LaNi y Al 12- y O 19- δ phase is formed only when y value is in 0< y ≤1. The reduced hexaaluminates LaNi y Al 12- y O 19- δ exhibit significant catalytic activity and stability for the reaction of CO 2 reforming of methane to synthesis gas at 780 ℃, and no deactivation resulting from carbon deposition is found. In the meantime, the catalytic activity is obviously affected by the modifier Ni in the hexaaluminate lattices. Under the same reaction conditions, the conversion of CH 4 and CO 2 increase with increase in the amount ( y value) of the modifier Ni.     

POLYMERIZATION OF ETHYLENE WITH UNSYMMETRIC 2,6-BIS(IMINO)PYRIDINE IRON(Ⅱ)COMPLEX

An unsymmetric 2,6-bis(imino)pyridine iron(II) complex 1' was synthesized. The relationship between catalyststructure and its activity in ethylene polymerization is discussed. The kinetic behavior of ethylene polymerization and theeffects of polymerization conditions such as temperature, aluminum/iron molar ratio on the activity of catalyst and thecharacteristics of polyethylene were reported. The unsymmetric catalyst 1' has a good catalytic performance of 3.47×10~6 gPE·mol~(-1)·Fe·h~(-1) at 40℃ with aluminum/iron molar ratio = 2500. A dependence of catalyst activity on themethylaluminoxane (MAO) concentration and reaction temperature was found. The molecular weight (MW) of polyethylenewith broad dispersity is about 10~4-10~5 g/mol. The melting temperature and branching of polyethylenes vary with changingreaction temperature and aluminum/iron molar ratio.     

CATALYTIC ACTIVITY OF Pd-Sn COMPLEX CARBONYLATION OF ACETYLENE

The influence of different concentration of HO, SnCl2, Cl- and n-BuOH on the carbonylation of acetylene has been studied. The results show that the yield of n- butyl propionate increases with the increase of HC1 concentration and the catalytic activity is depressed when Cl" concentration increases. However, the stability of catalytic complex is promoted by Cl-. The key to the carbonylation of acetylene lies in the addition of SnCl2, which promotes the formation of the complex of C2H2, CO with catalyst and plays an important role in the hydrogen removal from n-BuOH. The hydrogen removed from n BuOH is the hydrogen source of this reaction. Meanwhile, the principle of the effect of HCl, Cl- and SnCl2 on reaction has been discussed. The reaction model has also been proposed.     

手性铜(Ⅱ)-席夫碱配合物催化苯乙烯不对称环丙烷化反应

Twelve chiral copper(Ⅱ) Schiff base complexes, derived from (R) (+) 2 amino 1,1 diaryl 1 propanol with substituted salicylaldehydes, were examined as a catalyst for asymmetric cyclopropanation of styrene with ethyl diazoacetate. It was found that the substituents at 3 and 5 positions of salicylaldehyde in the ligands had great effects on catalytic activity and enantioselectivity of the catalyst. The complex with strong electron withdrawing group (NO 2) at 5 position and the smallest stereo hinder (H) at 3 position of salicylaldehyde showed highly catalytic activity and enantioselectivity, up to ee =87 4% for trans and ee =82 8% for cis isomers respectively, and the ratio 39/61 of cis to trans isomers was obtained at 40 ℃ with 1,2 dichloroethane as solvent.     

Syntheses of Some New Group 4 non-Cp Complexes Bearing Schiff-base, Thiophene Diamide Ligands Respectively and Their Catalytic Activities for a-Olefin Polymerization

Totally sixteen new titanium and zirconium non-Cp complexes supported by Schiff-base, or thiophene diamide ligands have been synthesized. The complexes are obtained by the reaction of M(OPr-i)4(M=Ti,Zr) with the corresponding Schiff-base ligand in 1:1 molar ratio in good yield. The thiophene diamide titanium complex has been prepared from trimethylsilyl amine [N,S,N] ligand and TiCl4 in toluene at 120℃. All complexes are well charac-terized by ^1H NMR, IR, MS and elemental analysis. When activated by excess methylaluminoxane (MAO), complexes show moderate catalytic activity for ethylene polymerization, and complex If (R^1=CH3,R^2=Br) exhibits the highest activity for ethylene and styrene polymerization. When the complexes were preactivated by triethylaluminum (TEA), both polymerization activities and syndiotacticity of the polymers were greatly improved.     

Synthesis of hierarchical Polystyrene/Polyaniline@Au nanostructures of different surface states and studies of their catalytic properties

We synthesized hierarchical Polystyrene/Polyaniline@Au(PS/PANI@Au) catalysts through a seeded swelling polymerization and in-situ reduction procedure. PS/PANI@Au catalysts possess a core of PS as seed and template, a PANI shell with fibers and uniform gold nanoparticles on the surface. The configuration changes of the PANI chains resulting from the doping/ dedoping procedure led to various loading amounts of Au nanoparticles. Reduction of 4-nitrophenol was chosen as the probe reaction to evaluate the catalytic activity of supported Au nanocatalysts. The catalytic results indicated that dedoping treatment of the PS/PANI supports provides stronger coordinative ability to metal nanoparticles as well as more –N= groups, which results in a better catalytic performance towards the reduction of 4-nitrophenol.     

萘与丙烯在脱铝丝光沸石上的烷基化反应

Shape selective alkylation of polynuclear aromatics has begun to receive increasing attention. 2,6 dialkylnaphthalenes are important raw materials for manufacturing high quality polyester fibers and plastics. Understanding of the reaction and the catalysis for conversion of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is needed both from fundamental and practical view points. In this paper, alkylation of naphthalene with propene over a series of dealuminated mordenite with different Si/Al ratios was carried out in an autoclave with an electromagnetical stirrer. Textural property of the dealuminated mordenite was determined by nitrogen adsorption. The amount of the acid sites was measured by NH 3 TPD. The catalytic activity of HM and β shape selectivity for products increased with increasing the Si/Al ratio in HM. Moreover, the selectivity for alkylation with propene was also increased by dealumination treatment. The increase of the catalytic activity was attributed to the formation of mesopores, which significantly promoted the diffusion of reactants and products in mordenite. It was suggested that the increase of β selectivity resulted from the elimination of acid sites from the external surface, and the selectivity for alkylation with propene was improved owing to the creation of the interconnection between 12 ring and 8 rimg channels by dealumination.     

SOLUTION PROPERTIES OF ANTITUMOR CARBOXYMETHYLATED DERIVATIVES OF α-(1→3)-D-GLUCAN FROM GANODERMA LUCIDUM

Fractions of a water insoluble α-(1→3)-D-glucan (GL) extracted from Ganoderma lucidum were carboxy-methylated (CM) to obtain water-soluble carboxymethylated derivatives (CM-GL) having a degree of substitution (DS) of0.38～0.51. Weight-average molecular weight M_w and intrinsic viscosity [η] of the samples CM-GL were measured by gelpermeation chromatography combined with laser light scattering (GPC-LLS) and viscometry. The CM-GL exhibits a stifferchain in aqueous solution at 25℃ than the original glucan, The antitumor activities against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC,5×10~6) of the carboxymethylated derivatives from the α-glucan and curdlan, a β-glucan, are significantly higher than thoseof the original glucans. The effects of the relatively low molecular weight, expanded chains and better water-solubility of theCM-GL on the enhancement of antitumor activity could not be neglected. The chain stiffness decreased speedily withincrease of temperature from 40 to 60℃ or NaOH concentration from 0.1 to 0.4 in the solution, respectively, and the changeof the chain stiffness is reversible.     

Effect of Solvents on Oxidation of 1, 1′-Bi-2-naphthol

A novel biomimetic catalyst of complex Cu (p-OTs)2/ethanolamine (1 : 1 ) was used to oxidize 1, 1′-bi-2naphthol into xanthene derivatives with a relative high yield in a mixed solvents of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and CH3OH. The studies on the effect of some solvents on the yield of xanthene derivatives indicates that the yield reduces dramatically with the increase of the content of H2O in the mixed solvents of H2O and DMSO. No product can be obtained when the content of H2O is up to 70%. The cyclic voltammetric study demonstrated that the copper ion in complex Cu(p-OTs)2/ethanolamine(1:1) is reduced via a twostep one-electron reduction process from Cu (Ⅱ) to Cu in the mixture of DMSO and H2O. Water as a poor solvent in respect to the reactants probably hampered the coordination of 1, 1′-bi-2-naphthol to copper/amine complex and led to the insufficient catalytic efficiency of complex Cu(p-OTs),/ethanolamine(1:1).     

Effect of Solvents on Oxidation of 1,1′-Bi-2-naphthol

A novel biomimetic catalyst of complex Cu(p-OTs)2/ethanolamine(1∶1) was used to oxidize 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol into xanthene derivatives with a relative high yield in a mixed solvents of dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO) and CH3OH. The studies on the effect of some solvents on the yield of xanthene derivatives indicates that the yield reduces dramatically with the increase of the content of H2O in the mixed solvents of H2O and DMSO. No product can be obtained when the content of H2O is up to 70%. The cyclic voltammetric study demonstrated that the copper ion in complex Cu(p-OTs)2/ethanolamine(1∶1) is reduced via a two-step one-electron reduction process from Cu(Ⅱ) to Cu in the mixture of DMSO and H2O. Water as a poor solvent in respect to the reactants probably hampered the coordination of 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol to copper/amine complex and led to the insufficient catalytic efficiency of complex Cu(p-OTs)2/ethanolamine(1∶1).     

A High Performance Theory for Thermodynamic Study on the Binding of Human Serum Albumin with Erbium Chloride

A thermodynamic study of the interaction between erbium(III) chloride (Er3＋) and human serum albumin (HSA) was studied at pH＝7.0, 27 and 37 ℃ in phosphate buffer by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). The present study reports the thermodynamic parameters that govern HSA-Er3＋ interactions. The extended solvation theory was used to reproduce the enthalpies of HSA-Er3＋ interactions over the whole range of Er3＋ concentrations. The binding parameters recovered from the new model were attributed to the structural change of HSA and its biological activity. The results obtained indicate that there is a set of two identical binding sites for Er3＋ ions with negative cooperativity. The enhancement of complex formation by Er3＋ and concomitant increase in ∆S suggest that the metal ion plays a role in increasing the number of hydrophobic contacts. The binding parameters discovered from the extended solvation model indicate that the stability of HSA molecule is increased as a result of its interaction with Er3＋ ions.     

Kinetics and Mechanism of Oxidation of Glycol by Dihydroxydiperiodatonickelate ( Ⅳ )Complex in Aqueous Alkaline Medium

The kinetics of oxidation of glycol by dihydroxydiperiodato nickelate ( Ⅳ) complex (DDN) was studied by spectrophotometry in aqueous alkaline medium in a temperature range of 25-40℃. The reaction was found to be first order with respect to Ni( Ⅳ ) and also to be first order with respect to glycol. The rate increases with the increase in [OH ] and decreases with the increase in [IO-4], showing that dihydroxymonoperiodatonickelate ( Ⅳ )(DMN) is the reactive species of oxidant. Salt effect indicated that the reaction is of ion-dipole type. No free radical was detected. A mechanism of an inner-sphere two-electron transfer reaction involving a preequilibrium between DDN and DMN is proposed, and the rate equation derived from the mechanism can explain all experimental observations. Activation parameters of the rate-determing step and the equilibrium constants were calculated.     

Yuanhuacin A Is a Selective Antagonist of Phorbol Ester Receptor in Protein Kinase C

Protein kinase C with a molecular weight of 82 kD has been purified to electrophoresis homogenous from rat brain through a series of chromatography columns including DE-52, Sepharose G-200 and phenyl-Sepharose. The enzyme possessed autophosphorylation activity. Yuanhuacin A inhibited the ~3H-phorbol-12, 13-dibutyrate (~3H-PdBu) binding of PKC with an IC_(50) value of 1.48±0.28×10~(-8) mol/L when the concentration of ~3H-PdBu was 1.5×10~(-9) mol/L (K_i=1.2×10~(-8) mol/L). Yuanhuacin A inhibited the PdBu-stimulated PKC activity in the catalysis of the phosphorylation of Histone Ⅲ-S with an IC_(50) of 2.82±0.37×10~(-9) mol/L (PdBu=10~(-6) mol/L), while it had no effect on the basal and Ca~(2+)-stimulated PKC activity in the same assay system. This result suggests that Yuanhuacin A is a selective antagonist of the phorbol ester receptor in protein kinase C.     

Propylene Dimerization by（η^5—C9H7）2 Nickel（Ⅱ）Catalytic System

The catalytic performance of Ni(η^5-Ind)2 complex in the dimerization of propylene was studied in combimation with an organoaluminum co-catalyst,eventually in the presence of a phosphine ligand.The effects of the type of aluminum co-catalyst and its relative amount,the nature of phosphine ligand and P/Ni ratio as well as the reaction temperature were examined.The results indicated that the nickel precatalyst exhibited high productivity for the propylene dimerization together with organoaluminum.It was likely to strongly modify the reactivity in the catalytic sytem when using phosphine ligand as additives,especially at the reaction temperature below 0℃.The catalytic system based on Ni(η^5-Ind)2 complex displaed an extremely high productivity(TOF up to 16900h^-1)and a good regioselectivity to 2,3-dimethylbutenes (2,3-DMB) in dimers(66.4%)under proper reaction parameters.     

Kinetics and Mechanism of the Oxidation of Glycol by Dihydroxyditelluratoargentate(Ⅲ) with Spectrophotometry

The kinetics of the oxidation of glycol by dihydroxyditelluratoargentate (Ⅲ) complex(DDA) was studied in alkaline medium with spectrophotometry(in a temperature range of 16.6-40 ℃).The first-order rates with respect to glycol and Ag(Ⅲ) were all found.The rates increased with the increase in [OH-] and decreased with the increase in [TeO2-4].No effect was found with the addition of KNO3 and no free radical was detected.In 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 explain all experimental observations.Activation parameters of the rate-determining step and constants are evaluated.
