镨、钕氢化物催化剂对NaH/Al复合物吸放氢性能的影响

采用NaH和Al为合成原料,镨、钕氢化物为催化剂,通过机械球磨(NaH/Al+6%(摩尔分数)RE-H)(RE=Pr,Nd)复合物的方法并加氢合成NaAlH4络合氢化物,系统研究了催化剂对其吸放氢性能的影响。结果表明,加入PrH2.92和NdH2.27能明显改善NaH/Al复合物的吸放氢动力学性能,有效降低NaAlH4的脱氢温度。(NaH/Al+6%PrH2.92)和(NaH/Al+6%NdH2.27)复合物的120℃吸氢容量分别为3.57%和3.61%(质量分数),170℃放氢容量分别为2.57%和2.95%;且两者均具有较好的吸放氢循环稳定性,但吸(放)氢后样品中均存在少量Na3AlH6相,表明样品的吸(放)氢反应进行得并不彻底,使得其实际吸放氢容量低于理论可逆储氢容量。研究表明,PrH2.92和NdH2.27在球磨、吸/放氢过程中始终稳态存在,起着催化储氢作用;(NaH/Al+6%PrH2.92)复合物的放氢活化能稍低于(NaH/Al+6%NdH2.27)复合物。

XRD和DSC分析结果表明, NaAlH4体系的放氢过程明显发生两步分解反应, 共掺Ti-Zr催化剂的复合物储氢性能优于单独掺Ti 催化剂的原因是, 共掺催化剂能有效改善NaAlH4体系吸放氢反应的动力学性能,并降低体系的放氢温度.     

石墨型氮化碳对氨硼烷放氢性能的影响

利用石墨型氮化碳(C₃N₄)和氨硼烷(NH₃BH₃,AB)球磨制备了AB-C₃N₄体系,发现C₃N₄的加入使AB放氢反应温度明显降低,但是副产物氨气浓度有所升高. 因此,利用LiBH₄改性的C₃N₄(LC₃N₄)同AB球磨合成出了AB-LC₃N₄体系,并采用X射线衍射、程序升温脱附-质谱联用、热重-差热分析及核磁共振等技术考察了该体系的脱氢性能. 结果表明,由于LC₃N₄的加入,AB的放氢反应温度明显降低,放氢反应速率加快,放氢诱导期缩短,同时抑制了副产物无机苯的生成. 另外,C₃N₄的化学修饰也降低了AB-LC₃N₄放氢过程中生成氨气的浓度. 动力学分析和核磁共振结果表明,AB-LC₃N₄分解过程依然遵循NH₃BH₂NH₃BH₄诱导的氨硼烷自分解机理.

以LiBH₄和MnCl₂为初始原料, 采用反应球磨法制备了LiMn(BH₄)₃/2LiCl复合物, 并系统地研究了该复合物的脱氢性能及含钛催化剂的掺杂对其脱氢性能的影响. 结果表明: LiMn(BH₄)₃/2LiCl复合物是由非晶态的LiMn(BH₄)₃和晶态的LiCl组成, 在135-190 °C分解, 分解反应的活化能为114.0 kJ·mol^-1; LiMn(BH₄)₃/2LiCl复合物分解失重约7.0% (w). 组分分析表明除H₂外, 释放的气体中还含有4.0% (摩尔分数, x)的B₂H₆. B₂H₆的生成是该复合物失重超过其理论储氢容量6.3% (w)的原因; 进一步研究发现, 含钛催化剂(TiF₃、TiC、TiN和TiO₂)中, 仅TiF₃能够催化LiMn(BH₄)₃/2LiCl复合物的分解反应, 使其起始分解温度和分解反应活化能分别降低至125 °C和104.0 kJ·mol^-1. 这主要归因于TiF₃中的Ti原子取代了LiMn(BH₄)₃中的部分Li原子, 并在局域形成了易于分解的Ti(BH₄)₃.

采用Ti粉为催化剂前驱体、预处理Al粉和NaH为合成原料, 通过机械球磨-加氢方法合成出络合氢化物Ti-NaAlH4, 系统研究了球磨保护气氛、球磨时间和氢化加氢压力等制备参数对其储氢性能的影响. 结果表明, 制备方法对Ti-NaAlH4储氢特性有很大影响. 与氩气保护气氛相比, 在氢气气氛中球磨制备的复合物具有更高的吸放氢性能. 在氢气保护气氛下, 随着球磨时间从6 h增至24 h, 复合物的吸氢容量和吸氢速率先增后减, 12 h时达到最佳值, 而复合物的放氢容量和放氢速率则逐渐增高; 进一步延长球磨时间会使颗粒发生团聚, 从而导致吸氢性能下降. 随着氢化加氢压力从7.5 MPa升至13.5 MPa, 复合物的吸氢容量(质量分数)由2.83%逐渐增至4.21%. 复合物球磨后出现的Na3AlH6中间氢化物相表明, 在氢气下掺Ti球磨对NaH和Al的氢化反应起到很好的促进作用.

采用密度泛函理论B3LYP方法研究了配体和配位数对乙烯插入杂双核(CO)₄Cr(m-PH₂)₂RhH(L_n) (L＝CO或PH₃, n＝1或2)配合物中Rh—H键反应的影响. 计算结果表明, 六配位乙烯复合物中乙烯与铑之间轨道相互作用主要为乙烯到铑中心的s供体相互作用; 而五配位乙烯复合物中乙烯与铑中心间相互作用涉及乙烯到铑中心的s供体相互作用和铑到乙烯的p反馈作用. PH₃配体在热力学上不利于该反应. 处于氢配体对位的膦配体能加速乙烯插入反应. 乙烯插入的五配位反应途径占优势. Cr(CO)₄部分的引入降低了乙烯插入反应的活化能.     

Ru-catalyzed highly enantioselective hydrogenation of α-keto Weinreb amides

Asymmetric hydrogenation of α-keto Weinreb amides has been realized with [Ru((S)-Sunphos)(benzene)Cl]Cl as the catalyst and CeCl 3·7H2O as the additive.A series of enantiopure α-hydroxy Weinreb amides(up to 97% ee) have been obtained.Catalytic amount of CeCl3·7H2O is essential for the high reactivity and enantioselectivity and the ratio of CeCl3·7H2O to [Ru((S)-Sunphos)(benzene)Cl]Cl plays an important role in the hydrogenation reaction.     

Thermally induced changes in the oxidation state of cerium(IV)

Cesium hexachlorocerate(IV), Cs₂CeCl₆ (I) and sodium pentakis(carbonato)cerate(IV), Na₆Ce(CO₃)₅·12H₂O (II) have been investigated in air by simultaneous TG/DTA, FTIR and XRD in order to follow the oxidation state of cerium during their thermal treatment. The thermal decomposition of the hexachloro compound (I) is accompanied by a double change in the oxidation state of cerium. First, in an inner reduction-oxidation reaction, chlorine is evolved and a Cs₂CeCl₅ phase is obtained. The immediately starting oxidation of this Ce(III) species caused various phase transitions in the CeCl₃-CsCl system formed. The presence of Cs₃CeCl₆ above 400°C can also be assumed and finally this phase also oxidizes into CeO₂ with the formation of CsCl as by-product. In the case of the pentacarbonato complex (II), no Ce(III) species were detected. The final products of its decomposition were CeO₂ and Na₂CO₃.     

Novel theoretical studies of the dehydrogenation of LiBH2NH3

It is believed that the dehydrogenation of LiNH₂BH₃ (LAB) proceeds through a combination of the decomposition of the LiBH₂NH₃ (LBA) and LAB isomers. The dehydrogenation of LBA, an isomer of LAB, is discussed in this article. It is demonstrated that the loss of H₂ from LBA takes place in a two‐step reaction. Studies of the dehydrogenation process were performed using Møller–Plesset second‐order perturbation theory with a 6‐311++G(3df,2pd) basis set. The intrinsic reaction coordinate was calculated to determine the minimum energy paths. Finally, the rate constants were obtained using the transition‐state theory (TST), TST/Eckart, canonical variational transition‐state theory (CVT), CVT/small‐curvature tunneling correction, and CVT/zero‐curvature tunneling correction methods from 200 to 2500 K. This is the first report on a different dehydrogenation mechanism for an alkali‐metal amidoborane, and the energy barrier of LBA is much lower than that of the traditionally studied LAB. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Effect of Ce<Superscript>3+</Superscript> on spectral characteristic of D1/D2/Cytb559 complex from spinach

It was studied by spectroscopy that PSII reaction center complex consisting of three polypeptides, D₁, D₂ and Cytb559, were purified from PSII particle of CeCl₃ treated spinach. The results of the experiment show that Ce³⁺ could improve the growth of spinach, and accelerate electron transport of PSII particles. Of chl-a of UV-Vis spectrum of D1/D2/Cytb559 complex, Soret band was blue-shifted by 3 nm and Q band by 2 nm, respectively, and the fluorescence emission peak was blue-shifted by 5 nm in CeCl₃-treated spinach compared with the one in control. By the extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy methods, it has been found that Ce³⁺ is coordinated with 8 nitrogen atoms in the first coordination shell with Ce-N bond length of 0.253 nm, and Ce³⁺ with 6 oxygen atoms in the second coordination shell with Ce-O bond length of 0.32 nm. However, the secondary structure of D1/D2/Cytb559 complex by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy has no significant change after CeCl₃ treated. It might be that Ce³⁺ binds to porphyrin rings of chlorophyll and oxygen of amino acid residue of polypeptide in D1/D2/Cytb559 complex, and then accelerates the primary reaction of PSII, intensifies function of P680⁺ primary electron donor of D1/D2/Cytb559, but there is little change in conformation of PSII reaction center complex.

NaBH4在ErF3的作用下提高了热动力学性能, 并实现了可逆吸放氢.     

Tandem Catalysis of Ammonia Borane Dehydrogenation and Phenylacetylene Hydrogenation Catalyzed by CeO2 Nanotube/Pd@MIL-53(Al)

Heterogeneously catalyzed, selective hydrogenation in the liquid phase is widely used in industry for the synthesis of chemicals. However, it can be a challenge to prevent active nanoparticles (e.g., palladium) from aggregation/leaching and meanwhile achieve high conversion as well as selectivity, especially under mild conditions. To address these issues, a CeO₂ nanotube/Pd@MIL-53(Al) sandwich-structured catalyst has been prepared in which the MIL-53(Al) porous shell can efficiently stabilize the palladium nanoparticles. When this catalyst was used in a tandem catalytic reaction involving the dehydrogenation of ammonia borane and the hydrogenation of phenylacetylene, remarkably, the hydrogen released from the dehydrogenation of ammonia borane boosted the catalytic process, with 100 % conversion of phenylacetylene and a selectivity of 96.2 % for styrene, even at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, within 1 min. This work therefore provides an alternative strategy for balancing the conversion and selectivity of liquid-phase hydrogenation reactions.     

Hydrate des Cer(III)-chlorids

Hydrates of Cerium(III) Chloride The thermal dehydration of CeCl₃ · 7 H₂O to CeCl₃ gives four definite intermediates: CeCl₃ · 6 H₂O, CeCl₃ · 3 H₂O, CeCl₃ · 2 H₂O, CeCl₃ · H₂O. In the hexahydrate monomeric [CeCl₂(H₂O)₆]⁺ units exist. A structure analysis of CeCl₃ · 3 H₂O gave an orthorhombic unit cell (S.G. Pnma; Z = 4) with a = 1 242.7(4) pm; b = 881.8(8) pm, c = 693.4(5) pm. The structure consists of [CeCl_4/2Cl(H₂O)₃] chains, where two Ce³⁺ ions are connected via two chloride ions, forming bent chains in the [010] direction. The trihydrates LnCl₃ · 3 H₂O (Ln = Pr? Tb) are isotypic, also one modification of LaCl₃ · 3 H₂O. The structures of the di- and mono-hydrate are not yet known. Molar volumina and solution enthalpies in water vary linearly with the number of H₂O molecules per formula unit.     

Thermal decomposition of the [Pt(NH3)4]2+ complex in nax zeolite: effect of calcination procedure

The effect of the calcination procedure on the decomposition of the [Pt(NH₃)₄]²⁺ complex in a NaX zeolite was studied by mass spectrometry (MS-TPDE) and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The decomposition of the complex took place in two steps. In the first step, under oxygen, the [Pt(NH₃)₄]²⁺ complex was first converted to [Pt(NH₃)₂]²⁺ complex, accompanied by nitrogen release. In the second step, corresponding to the decomposition of the remaining two amine ligands, NO formation was also observed. Under He, the decomposition also occurred in two steps with H₂ liberation. A reaction scheme was proposed for these results.
