Polyorganosiloxane-europium (Ⅲ) host-guest inclusion system and its energy transfer luminescence

The Eu(Ⅲ) ion, as a luminescent probe, is incorporated into a novel nanotube-contained polyorganosiloxane (POS), which is obtained by coupling of ladderlike polyvinylsilsesquioxane (Vi-T) with tetramethyldisiloxane (H-MM) via hydrosilylation, to form POS-Eu(Ⅲ) composite. The results from fluorescent study demonstrate that the composite is actually a host-guest clathrate which includes the Eu(Ⅲ) ions in the tubelike cavity of POS and moreover, the supramolecular clathrate exhibits an obvious energy transfer process which converts the UV light absorbed by POS into the visible light generated from the Eu(Ⅲ) luminescence. Molecular simulation also gives support to the formation of such a clathrate and thus results in energy transfer process.     

STRUCTURAL INVESTIGATION OF A NEW POLYORGANOSILOXANE CONTAINING NANOTUBULAR CAVITIES USING ORGANIC FLUORESCENT PROBES*

Fluorescent molecules - p-dimethylaminobenzonitrile (DMABN) and trans-stilbene (TSB) -were used as probes to investigate the inner structure of the nanotubular cavities contained in a newpolyorganosiloxane (POS) which was prepared by the hydrosilylation coupling reaction of cis-isotacticladderlike polyvinylsilsesquioxane (Vi-T) with 1, 1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane (H-MM) as coupling agent inthe presence of catalyst dicyclopentadienyldichloroplatin (Cp_2PtCl_2). The results from FTIR spectra andfluorescence spectra in combination with molecular simulation revcal that the cross-section of thenanotubular cavity is nearly rectangular in shape, and is about 0.62 nm in width and about 0.38 nm in height.This work gains in-depth knowledge into the inner structure of the nanotubular cavities of POS andfurthermore provides a guide to the selection of proper guest molecules in constructing functionalsupramolecular clathrate based upon POS.

A STUDY OF THE REDOX CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TERNARY CLATHRATE COMPOUND {MolS2CN(C2H5)2]4} {FeCl4}-{C6H5CH2SSCH2C6H5}

The redox characteristics of the ternary clathrate compound{C6H5CH2SSCH2C6H5}was studied by electrochemical measurement and quantum-chemical calculations.The cyclic voltammogram of this ternary clathrate compound in 0.1M KC1O4-DMF with a platinum electride had 2.pairs of redox peak.Both the electrochemical parameters derived from the voltammogram and the results of EHMO calculations indicate that the pair of redox peak at relatively positive potentials corresponds to the redox reaction of "Fe(Ⅲ)/Fe(Ⅱ) which is irreversible in nature,while the pair of redox peak at more negative potentials corresponds to the redox reaction of Mo(Ⅴ)/ Mo(Ⅱ) which is semi-reversible.The calculations from experiment measurements are fairly agreement with the theoretical calculations.     

Guest-Host Interaction Study in Clathrate Hydrates Using Lattice Dynamics Simulation

Lattice dynamics simulation of several gas hydrates （helium, argon, and methane） with different occupancy rates has been performed using TIP3P potential model. Results show that the coupling between the guest and host is not simple as depicted by the conventional viewpoints. For clathrate hydrate enclosing small guest, the small cages are dominantly responsible for the thermodynamic stability of clathrate hydrates. And the spectrum of methane hydrate is studied compared with argon hydrate, then as a result, shrink effect from positive hydrogen shell is proposed.     

Preparation of a novel self-assembling nonlinear optical (NLO) polymer film

A novel self-assembling crosslinking second harmonic generation nonlinear optical (SHG/NLO) film with high SHG coefficient (2×10-7 e.s,u.by IR dichroism) was prepared by morecular design and "in-situ poling and sol-gel process".The content of the NLO chromophore (S)-(-)-1-(4)-mtrophenyl-2-pyrrolidinemethanol (NPP) is as high as 50 mol% since NPP molecules probably disperse in the film at a molecular level The film is rigid,uni form and transparent.This designed clathrate supermolecular structure was poved by IR,atomic force microseopv (AFM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) detection.The title film exhibits a long-term temporal stability with 95% of the initial value of SHG coefficient maintained even after 20 d at 65℃(by UV spectroscopy)

Accelerated nucleation of tetrahydrofuran(THF)hydrate in presence of ZIF-61

Clathrate hydrate can be used in energy gas storage and transportation,CO 2 capture and cool storage etc.However,these technologies are difficult to be used due to the low formation rate and long induction time of hydrate formation.In this paper,ZIF-61(zeolite imidazolate framework,ZIF) was first used in hydrate formation to stimulate hydrate nucleation.As an additive of clathrate hydrate,ZIF-61 promoted obviously the acceleration of tetrahydrofuran(THF) hydrate nucleation.It shortened the induction time of THF hydrate formation from 2-5 h to 0.3-1 h mainly due to the template function of ZIF-61 by which the nucleation of THF hydrate has been promoted.     

Framework Structure of a Synthetic High Silica Zeolite --ZSM-39 from a C_2H_4(OH)_2-H_2O Mixed Solvent System

The structural analogy of clathrate synthesized with natural zeolite framework is well known. HPF_6·6H_2O and (CH_3)_4 (OH)·5H_2O are isostructural with sodalite,melanophlogite is isostructural with the 12 cubic gas hydrate and zeolite ZSM-39 with the 17 gas hydrate. The synthesis of ZSM-39 was first reported by Brace in 1981.Schleker and Meier also obtained the crystals of ZSM-39 with size<10μm and analyzed its crystal stucture by the powder X-ray diffraction.In 1984,Gies solved the crystal structure of dodecasil 3C(ZSM-39) synthesized from an aqueous system in space group F_(ds).In the present paper,we report the framework structure of the high silica zeolite—ZSM-39 obtained from the ethylene glycol-water mixed solvent system.     

Initial estimation of hydrate formation temperature of sweet natural gases based on new empirical correlation

Production,processing and transportation of natural gases can be significantly affected by clathrate hydrates.Knowing the gas analysis is crucial to predict the right conditions for hydrate formation.Nevertheless,Katz gas gravity method can be used for initial estimation of hydrate formation temperature (HFT) under the circumstances of indeterminate gas composition.So far several correlations have been proposed for gas gravity method,in which the most accurate and reliable one has belonged to Bahadori and Vuthaluru.The main objective of this study is to present a simple and yet accurate correlation for fast prediction of sweet natural gases HFT based on the fit to Katz gravity chart.By reviewing the error analysis results,one can discover that the new proposed correlation has the best estimation capability among the widely accepted existing correlations within the investigated range.

Preparation of LLDPE/MgAl-LDH Exfoliation Nanocomposites with Enhanced Thermal Properties by Melt Intercalation

The interlayer surface of MgAl layered double hydroxide(MgAl-LDH)was modified by exchanging about halfof the interlayer nitrate anions by dodecyl sulfate anions(DS)to get MgAl(H-DS)LDH,and then the MgAl(H-DS)was melt intercalated by LLDPE to get the LLDPE/MgAl-LDH exfoliation nanocomposites.The samples werecharacterized by Fourier transform infrared(FTIR)spectroscopy,X-ray diffraction(XRD),ion chromatography,transmission electron microscopy(TEM),and thermogravimetry analysis(TGA).The nanoscale dispersion ofMgAl-LDH layers in the LLDPE matrix was verified by the disappearance of(001)XRD reflection of the modifiedMgAl-LDH and by the TEM observation.The TGA profiles of LLDPE/MgAl-LDH nanocomposites show a fastercharring process between 210 and 370℃ and a higher thermal stability above 370℃ than LLDPE.The decomposi-tion temperature of the nanocomposites with 10 wt% MgAl(H-DS)can be 42℃ higher than that of LLDPE at 40%weight loss.     

Preparation,characterization and photocatalytic properties of BiOBr/ZnO composites

BiOBr/ZnO composite photocatalysts were prepared by a simple hydrothermal method. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM), UV–Vis diffusion reflectance spectroscopy(DRS) and photoluminescence(PL) spectroscopy, respectively. The photocatalytic activities were evaluated by the degradation of methyl blue(MB) under the simulated sunlight irradiation. Among all the samples, the BiOBr/ZnO composite with a mole ratio of 3:1(Bi:Zn) exhibited the best photocatalytic activity. The improvement of photocatalytic activity was mainly attributed to the low recombination ratio of photo-induced electron-hole pairs. The possible photocatalytic mechanism was discussed on the basis of the band structures of BiOBr and ZnO.     

Joule-Thomson inversion curve prediction by using equation of state

In this paper five equations of state are tested for checking their ability to predict the Joule-Thomson inversion curve.These five equations of state are:Mohsennia-Modarres-Mansoori(MMM),Ji-Lemp(JL),modified Soave-Redlich-Kwang(SRK)equation of state by Graboski(MSRK1),modified SRK equation of state by Peneloux and Rauzy(MSRK2),and modified Peng-Robinson (PR)equation of state by Rauzy(PRmr).The investigated equations of state give good prediction of the low-temperature branch of the inversion curve,except for MMM equation of state.The high-temperature branch and the peak of the inversion curve have been observed,in general,to be sensitive to the applied equation of state.The values of the maximum inversion temperature and maximum inversion pressure are calculated for each component used in this work.

Nickel ferrite spinel as catalyst precursor in the dry reforming of methane:Synthesis,characterization and catalytic properties

Dry reforming of methane by CO2 using nickel ferrite as precursor of catalysts was investigated.Nickel ferrite crystalline particles were prepared by coprecipitation of nitrates with NaOH or ammonia followed by calcination,or by hydrothermal synthesis without calcination step.The textural and structural properties were determined by a number of analysis methods,including X-ray diffraction (XRD),Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS),among which X-ray diffraction (XRD) was at room and variable temperatures.All synthesized oxides showed the presence of micro or nanoparticles of NiFe2O4 inverse spinel,but Fe2O3 (hematite) was also present when ammonia was used for coprecipitation.The reducibility by hydrogen was studied by temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) and in situ XRD,which showed the influence of the preparation method.The surface area (BET),particle size (Rietveld refinement),as well as surface Ni/Fe atomic ratio (XPS) and the behavior upon reduction varied according to the synthesis method.The catalytic reactivity was investigated using isopropanol decomposition to determine the acid/base properties.The catalytic performance of methane reforming with CO2 was measured with and without the pre-treatment of catalysts under H2 in 650-800 C range.The catalytic conversions of methane and CO2 were quite low but they increased when the catalysts were pre-reduced.A significant contribution of reverse water gas shift reaction accounted for the low values of H2 /CO ratio.No coking was observed as shown by the reoxidation step performed after the catalytic reactions.The possible formation of nickel-iron alloy observed during the study of reducibility by hydrogen was invoked to account for the catalytic behavior.     

Study on adsorption behavior of cesium using ammonium tungstophosphate (AWP)-calcium alginate microcapsules

A functional microcapsule was prepared by encapsulating the fine crystalline ammonium tungstophosphate(AWP) in calcium alginate polymer(CaALG).The characterization of AWP-CaALG microcapsule was examined by SEM and EPMA.The adsorption behavior of Cs(I),Rb(I),Sr(II),Pd(II),Ru(III),Rh(III),La(III),Ce(III),Dy(III) and Zr(IV) was investigated by the batch method.The batch experiments were carried out by varying the shaking times,HNO 3 concentration,and initial concentration of metal ions.Relatively large K d values above 10 5 cm 3 /g for Cs(I) were obtained in the range of 0.1-5 M HNO 3,resulting in a separation factor of Cs/Rb exceeding 10 2.In contrast,the K d values of Sr(II),Pd(II),Ru(III),La(III),Dy(III),Ce(III) and Zr(IV) were considerably lower than 50 cm 3 /g.The K d value of Cs(I) decreased in the order of the coexisting ions,H + > Na + >> NH 4 +,and a linear relationship with a slop of about 1 was obtained between log K d and log [NH 4 + ]([NH 4 + ] > 0.01 M).The adsorption of Cs(I) was found to be controlled by chemisorption mechanism,and followed a Langmuir-type adsorption equation.A high uptake percentage of 99.4% for Cs(I) was obtained by using the dissolved solutions of spent fuel from FBR-JOYO(JAEA).     

Chemical Frequencymetry——Theory and Application

A new theory named "Chemical frequencymetry" is proposed. It is based on chemical reactions followed by piezoelectric monitoring. The frequency shift caused by the chemical reaction is related to the fundamental frequency (f) and overtone order (h) of the crystal, the formula weight (m) and diffusion coefficient (D) of the active chemical species, the diffusion layer thickness (δ), the response time(t), the concentration of the determinant (C_A) and the stoichiometric factor of the chemical reaction (k) according to the formulaThe technique has been applied to the determination of analgin as an example of its application.
