STUDY ON THE THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF ADSORPTION OF ETHYL BENZOATE AND DIETHYL PHTHALATE BY PHENOLIC RESIN ADSORBENTS

This paper presents experimental observations on the adsorption of individual solutes by a simple thermodynamic framework, and the equilibrium adsorption of ethyl benzoate and diethyl phthalate on phenolic resin adsorbent in hexane solutions within the temperature range of 293-313 K. The experimental results show that the Freundlich adsorption law is applicable to the adsorption of ethyl benzoate and diethyl phthalate on the adsorbent, since all the correlative factors R‘are larger than 0.99. The negative values of all the isosteric adsorption enthalpies for ethyl benzoate and diethyl phthalate indicate that they undergo exothermic processes, while their magnitudes (19-28 kJ/mol) manifest a hydrogen bonding sorption process. Other thermodynamic properties: the free energy changes and the entropy change associated with the adsorption have been calculated from the Gibbs adsorption equation and the Gibbs-Helmholtz equation.

邻二甲苯选择氧化V-Ti-O复合氧化物超细微粒催化剂

The structure and catalytic properties of V Ti O ultrafine particle catalyst for selective oxidation of o xylene have been studied. TEM and XRD results show that the particle size is in the range of 20～40 nm, and vanadium oxide is highly dispersed in TiO 2 (anatase). The catalytic activity of the V Ti O ultrafine particle catalyst for selective oxidation of o xylene to phthalic anhydride(PA) is higher than that of the larger oxide particles with the same catalyst composition prepared by impregnation and coprecipitation methods, indicating that the ultrafine V Ti O oxide particles are potentially new catalytic materials for the selective oxidation of o xylene to phthalic anhydride.     

Structural Insight into the Binding of Hypoxanthine with Purine Nucleoside Phosphorylase from Streptococcus mutants

Purine nucleoside phosphorylase is a key enzyme in the purine-salvage pathway and an attractive target for drug design. The crystal structure of Streptococcus mutants purine nucleoside phosphorylase(Smu PNP) has been solved by molecular replacement at 1.80  resolution and refined to R factors of 19.9%/23.7%(Rcryst/Rfree) . Sequence alignment and structural comparison show that Smu PNP has more similarity with PNPs isolated from human and malarial sources than the bacterial PNPs. The structure complexed with hypoxanthine(HPA) and sulfate ion was solved at 2.24  resolution and refined to R factors of 21.6%/24.1%(Rcryst/Rfree) . It is interesting to note that the resulting electron density indicated the product,HPA,presents in the active site although inosine was included in the crystallization mixture with Smu PNP. Asn233 and Glu191 are the important residues for ligand binding and recognition. Comparison with PNPs from different species gives detailed information about binding of small molecules on the active site,which is important for the studies of enzymatic mechanism and rational design of specific inhibitors for PNPs.

In-situ UV-Raman study on soot combustion over TiO_2 or ZrO_2-supported vanadium oxide catalysts

UV-Raman spectroscopy was used to study the molecular structures of TiO2 or ZrO2-supported vana-dium oxide catalysts.The real time reaction status of soot combustion over these catalysts was de-tected by in-situ UV-Raman spectroscopy.The results indicate that TiO2 undergoes a crystalline phase transformation from anatase to rutile phase with the increasing of reaction temperature.However,no obvious phase transformation process is observed for ZrO2 support.The structures of supported va-nadium oxides also depend on the V loading.The vanadium oxide species supported on TiO2 or ZrO2 attain monolayer saturation when V loading is equal to 4(4 is the number of V atoms per 100 support metal ions).Interestingly,this loading ratio(V4/TiO2 and V4/ZrO2) gave the best catalytic activities for soot combustion reaction on both supports(TiO2 and ZrO2).The formation of surface oxygen com-plexes(SOC) is verified by in-situ UV Raman spectroscopy and the SOC mainly exist as carboxyl groups during soot combustion.The presence of NO in the reaction gas stream can promote the pro-duction of SOC.     

Red-blood-cell like nitrogen-doped carbons with highly catalytic activity towards oxygen reduction reaction

A highly active nitrogen-doped catalyst with a unique red-blood-cell(RBC) like structure is reported for oxygen reduction reaction(ORR).The catalyst Fe,N-C@carbon-900 was prepared by pyrolysis of the polyaniline(PANl) and polystyrene(PS) composites with adsorption of ferric ion on the shell of sphere structure at 900℃.Fe,N-C@carbon-900 with a unique RBC-like structure provides plenty of catalytic sites combining the electrical conductivity of the carbon sphere with the catalytic activity of the nitrogen-doped layer.The four-electron reduction pathway is selected for the catalyst Fe,N-C@carbon-900.The catalyst exhibit the ORR E_(onset) at 0.87 V(potentials is versus to reversible hydrogen electrode(RHE)),E_(1/2) at 0.78 V and high diffusion-limiting current density(5.20mA/cm~2).Furthermore,this work indicates that both N and Fe accounted for high activity of the catalyst Fe,N-C@carbon-900 toward the oxygen reduction process.It is concluded that Fe and N exhibit synergistically promotion in the ORR activity for the catalyst Fe,N-C@carbon-900.We also provide a rational design of electrocatalysts with high ORR activity to further clarify the essential ORR sites of heteroatom doped carbon materials for fuel cells and metal-air battery applications.     

ELECTROCHEMICAL COPOLYMERIZATION OF ANILINE AND AZURE B*

The electrochemical copolymerization of aniline and N,N,N'-trimethylthionin (azure B) in aqueous solutions hasbeen carried out using the potential sweep method, The optimum conditions for the coelectrodeposition are that the pH valueand the temperature of the electrolytic solution are controlled at 5.57 and 30℃, respectively, and the scan potential range isset between - 0.25 and 1.10 V (versus SCE). The copolymerization rate of aniline and azure B is about 3 times larger thanthat of aniline in the absence of azure B. The copolymerization of aniline and azure B was verified from the results of visiblespectra during electrolysis, FTIR spectra and the atomic force microscopy (AFM) images of the polymers. The in situ visiblespectrum for the electrolysis of the solution containing aniline and azure B is different from that of the respective aniline andazure B. The FTIR spectrum of the copolymer is not a superposition of that of polyaniline and poly(azure B). The AFMimage of the copolymer is different from those of polyaniline and poly(azure B) and is not a mixture of individual polymers.The conductivity of thc copolymer synthesized at pH 5.57 is four orders of magnitude higher than that of polyanilinesynthesized under the same conditions, bat in the absence of azure B. The clectrochemical properties of the copolymer aremainly attributed to polyaniline, but the copolymer has a better electrochemical reversibility and a much faster charge transferthan those of polyaniline.

α-Amino acid derived enaminones and their application in the synthesis of N-protected methyl 5-substituted-4-hydroxypyrrole-3-carboxylates and other heterocycles

A new and simple synthesis of novel N-protected methyl 5-substituted-4-hydroxypyrrole-3-carboxylates, which exist in equilibrium with their 4-oxo tautomers, has been developed in two steps starting from N-protected α-amino acids. The key intermediates are enaminones, which can also be isolated, characterized, and used for the construction of other functionalized heterocycles, before they spontaneously decompose to pyrrole products. 4-Hydroxypyrroles are prone to partial aerial oxidation but can be efficiently alkylated or reduced to stable polysubstituted pyrrolidine derivatives.     

Specific intramolecular aromatic CH insertion of diazosulfonamides

The chemoselectivity in the intramolecular CH insertion of various diazosulfonamides has been experimentally studied. The results reveal that the aliphatic 1,4-, 1,5-, or 1,6-C(sp³)?H insertions of diazosulfonamides are not accessible, while the aromatic 1,5-C(sp²)?H insertion can be realized specifically by adjusting the diazo-adjacent group. In addition, the general chemoselectivities in the intramolecular CH insertions of diazosulfonyl compounds are summarized. Generally, diazosulfones undergo both aromatic 1,5-C(sp²)?H and aliphatic 1,5- and 1,6-C(sp³)?H insertions, while diazosulfonates undergo aliphatic 1,5- and 1,6-C(sp³)?H insertions. However, diazosulfonamides only undergo aromatic 1,5-C(sp²)?H insertion.

Understanding the Diels-Alder reactivity of 1,2-azaborine analogues

The Diels-Alder reactivity of 1,2-heteroborines (H₄C₄B(H)X, X?=?NH, PH, AsH; O, S, Se) has been computationally explored by means of Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. The influence of the HB?=?X fragment on the reactivity of the system has been quantitatively analyzed in detail by means of the so-called Activation Strain Model (ASM) of reactivity. It is found that the interaction between these species and the dienophile is significantly stronger than that computed for their all-carbon isoelectronic counterpart, benzene. In addition, the strain energy plays a key role in the observed reactivity trends. The role of the aromaticity strength of these heteroarenes on the reactivity is also assessed.     

Synthesis of N-substituted carbazolones from α-iodo enaminones via Pd(0)-catalyzed intramolecular coupling under microwave irradiation

A variety of N-aryl and N-alkyl carbazolones were conveniently achieved in good to high yields via Pd₂(dba)₃-mediated intramolecular coupling of N-substituted α-iodo enaminones under microwave irradiation. The Pd(0)-catalyzed cyclization was found to proceed favorably with the more electron-deficient phenyl ring during the reactions involving unsymmetrical N,N-diaryl α-iodo enaminones. This unique property enables the construction of carbazolone skeleton containing nitro substituted benzenoid ring.

An efficient iodine-mediated oxidative Pictet-Spengler reaction in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) using terminal alkynes as the 2-oxoaldehyde surrogate for the synthesis of aryl (9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-1-yl)methanones is described. The scope of the protocol includes the total synthesis of Fascaplysin, Eudistomins Y₁ and Y₂. The methodology is extended for preparing pyrrolo[1,2-a]-quinoxaline and indolo[1,5-a]quinoxaline derivatives. The utility of 1-aroyl-β-carbolines was demonstrated by performing palladium-catalyzed β-carboline directed ortho-C(sp2)-H functionalization of the phenyl ring with thiomethyl (SMe) group using DMSO as source and for accessing 4-aryl-canthin-6-ones.

Accordingly, a series of structurally diversified, fused bicyclic 1-arylpyrazol-5-ones was prepared in moderate to high yields using the requisite substrates.
