Action mechanism of antioxidation and anticorrosion and molecular design for perfluoropolyether fluid additives (Ⅰ)——Action mechanism of additive and property of donating-accepting electron

The combination energy and chemical adsorption energy of N-substituted perfluoropoly-alkyletherphenylamide (PFPEA) additive to perfluoropolyalkylether oxygen radical (RfO.) and to Fe atom have been calculated by quantum chemical methods. Structural characteristics, action mechanism, property of donating-accepting electron and substituent effect for antioxidant and anticorrosive additive are investigated. It is found that HOMO of the additives is a π-molecular orbital with lone pair electron of heteroatom. The HOMO of PFPEA additive reacts with LUMO of Fe atom to result in chemical adsorption. The LUMO of additive can interact with the SOMO of RfO. and accept electron of RfO. to form stable addition product. The additives have the property of donating-accepting electron. The electron-releasing group, particularly, the phenyl group, introduced to N atom of phenylamide can increase the combination energy and chemical adsorption energy, and enhance the antioxidant and anticorrosive efficiency.

Controllable self-assemblies of β-cyclodextrin-calix[4]arene couples

Amphiphilic cyclodextrin-calixarene conjugates 1 and 2 were synthesized from "click chemistry", and their self-assembly behaviors were investigated by transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. The results obtained show that 1 and 2 can self-assemble to form distinctly different aggregations, and the morphology of aggregations critically relies on the polarity and hydrophilicity of the solvent.     

Synthesis and Langmuir-Blodgett Film Analysis of Atropisomers of “Picket Fence” Porphyrin

Four "picket fence" porphyrin atropisomers were respectively synthesized from the four corresponding atropisomers of meso-tetra(o-aminophenyl)porphyrin that had been chromatographed on a column eluted with petro-leum ether and ethyl acetate. Results show that each atropisomer could be successfully synthesized by controlling the acylation temperature at 0 °C. They were characterized by 1 H NMR, HRMS, IR, UV-Vis and Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) film analyses. Although the results of HRMS, IR, UV-Vis analyses indicate there is no remarkable difference among the atropisomers, the results of the 1 H NMR and the mean molecular areas obtained by LB film technique imply that the atropisomers are significantly discrepant. The former shows that the chemical shifts of the methyl and amide protons of each atropisomer are distinct, while the later presents that the different atropisomer molecules can occupy the different surface areas at the air/water interface.     

Study on Synthesis and Electrochemical Properties of Nanophase Li-Mo-spinel

Li-Mn-spinel was synthesized using the rheological phase recation method,First,the precursor was prepared by rheological phase reaction.The it was decomposed to form Li-Mn-spine,which was characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis and IR spectra.The particle size of Li-Mn-spinel was determined by the method of the transmission electron microscopy.The synthesized materials are of nanometer size with 30-100nm in the average diameter.The electrochemical properties of the Li-Mn-spinel were also studied.It proved that this method not only provided a simple practicable and effective route for the synthesis of Li-Mn-spinel,but also had many advantages such as lower sintering temperature,shorter sintering time,fine particles and particularly excellent electrochemical performances.     

Studies on Synthesis and Biological Activities of Novel Triazole Compounds Containing Pyrimidine or N, N－Dialkyldithiocarbamate Ring

Twelve of the title compounds were synthesized. Their structures were identified by means of IR, EA, IH NMR and MS. The IR spectra clearly show that the absorptions in the regions of 1716—1666 cm^-1 and 1505—1499 cm^-1 are the characteristic absorption bands for vc=O and vc=N. In the IH NMR spectra of target compounds(10a—10g), three protons of a = CH—CH2— group present three sets of quartet peaks of the protons. The preliminary bioassays showed that the synthesized compounds exhibited some activities of fungicides and plant growth regulators.     

Synthesis and Thermal Decomposition Mechanism of Rare Earth （RE=La, Y, Gd） Salicylates

The rare earth (RE=La, Y, Gd) salicylates were synthesized by the rheological phase reaction method. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectra (IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and thermal gravity analysis (TG). They can be represented by general formula RE(HSal)3 (RE=La, Y, Gd; HSal=C6Ha(OH)COO). The crystals of them are monoclinic and have layered structure. The mechanism of thermal decomposition of rare earth salicylates was studied by using TG, DTA, IR and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The thermal decomposition of the rare earth salicylates in nitrogen gas proceeded in three stages: firstly, they were decomposed to form RE2(Sal)3 (Sal=C6H4OCOO) and salicylic acid; then, RE2(Sal)3 were decomposed further to form RE2O(CO3)2 and some organic compounds; finally, RE2O(CO3)2 were decomposed to form rare earth metal oxides (RE2O3) and carbon dioxide. The organic compounds obtained from the second step of the reaction are mainly dibenzofuran, xanthenone, 6H-benzo[c]chromen-6-one, 6-phenyl-6H-benzo[c]chromene, and 1,3-diphenyl-1, 3-dihydro-2-benzofuran.     

Influence of Fe2O3 and V2O5 on Crystalline Structure of Mg-Al Spinel Synthesized by Waste Aluminum Slag

Mg-Al spinel is synthesized by using industrial waste-residue and basic magnesium carbonate in the aluminum factory as the main raw materials. The influence of V2O5 and Fe2O3 mineralizers on the structure, cell parameters and microscopic morphology of synthesized Mg-Al spinel has been discussed. The Mg-Al spinel is characterized by using XRD, SEM and relevant analytical software, such as Philips plus, Rietveld quantification and so on. The experimental results show that certain amounts of V2O5 and Fe2O3 are beneficial to the formation of Mg-Al spinel, and the optimum addition of V2O5 and Fe2O3 is respectively 2wt% and 3wt%. V2O5 has few effects on cell parameters of Mg-Al spinel; but Fe2O3 can form solid solution with Mg-Al spinel in which Mg-Fe spinel can also dissolve to form continuous solid solution. Therefore, with the increase of Fe2O3 content, the cell parameters of Mg-Al approximately present linear increase.     

Preparation and pervaporation performance of high-quality silicalite-1 membranes

High-performance silicalite-1 membranes were successfully synthesized on novel porous silica tubes by two-step in-situ hydrothermal synthesis.The flux and separation factor towards ethanol/water mix- ture at 60℃were 0.56 kg/(m2·h)and 84,respectively.The as-synthesized silicalite-1 membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM).The influence of different synthesis conditions on the separation performance of the silicalite-1 membranes was investigated.It was found that the average flux of silicalite-1 membranes was improved by about 26?ter filling the silica tubes with mixed solution containing glycerol and water.After calcinating at 400℃for 5 h repeatedly,membrane synthesized on silica tube still showed high pervaporation performance towards ethanol/water mixture even at a calcination rate of 4℃/min,which suggested that silica support was more suitable for pre- paring high-performance silicalite-1 membranes.     

Optical and gas sensing properties of mesoporous hollow ZnO microspheres fabricated via a solvothermal method

Mesoporous,hollow Zn O microspheres were synthesized via a hydrothermal method,using glycerol and zinc acetate as the starting materials.XRD and FESEM analysis showed that the surface morphology of the spheres with a Wurtzite structure could be reasonably adjusted by varying the weight ratio(Rw) of Zn(CH3COO)2 2H2O:H2O:C3H8O3.The responses of the gas sensor based on the spheres to 100 ppm ethanol and 100 ppm acetone are 18.9 and 10.4,respectively.The response and recovery times of the sensor to ethanol and acetone are 2 s and 3 s,3 s and 5 s,respectively.The hollow spheres show an intense UV emission at 392 nm and a broad blue-green emission at 488 nm.Interestingly,a light trapping phenomenon is revealed by UV emission and scattering measurements on the microspheres,which can be attributed to the mesoporous shell and hollow structure of the microsphere.     

Photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide to methanol by Cu2O/SiC nanocrystallite under visible light irradiation

The Cu2O/SiC photocatalyst was obtained from SiC nanoparticles (NPs) modified by Cu2O. Their photocatalytic activities for reducing CO2 to CH3OH under visible light irradiation have been investigated. The results indicated that besides a small quantity of 6H-SiC, SiC NPs mainly consisted of 3C-SiC. The band gaps of SiC and Cu2O were estimated to be about 1.95 and 2.23 eV from UV-Vis spectra, respectively. The Cu2O modification can enhance the photocatalytic performance of SiC NPs, and the largest yields of methanol on SiC, Cu2O and Cu2O/SiC photocatalysts under visible light irradiation were 153, 104 and 191μmol/g, respectively.     

Synthesis and Spectra of Bichromophore Compounds Containing Oxazole or Oxadiazole Ring

The UV spectra, fluorescence spectra and the laser conversion efficiencies have been determined . The results of determination show that the absorption and emission spectra Pf the bichromophore compounds are different from those of the corresponding single chromophore compounds.     

Preparation and Characterization of Titania-grafted Poly（styrene-divinybenzene） Nanocomposite Microspheres

Titania-grafted poly（styrene-divinylbenzene）（TiO2/PSt-DVB） nanocomposite microspheres were prepared by an open-ring reaction and radical grafting copolymerization method. The TiO2 nanoparticles were first modified by attachment of epoxy groups to their surfaces to provide reactive groups that could covalently bond to the polymer （PSt-DVB） microspheres. The nanocomposite obtained was characterized by FTIR, SEM, XRD, and TGA analyses as well as UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The results indicated that the TiO2 nanoparticles were uniformly grafted onto the surface of the polymer microsphere producing grain sizes of about 5―10 μm. The modified TiO2 showed better UV absorbing property than the unmodified form, and the nanocomposite also retained the same UV absorbing property as the free modified TiO2 nanoparticle.     

Phase behaviour and microstructures of microemulsions(Ⅰ)

By the orthogonal design,the optimal formation conditions for the middle-phase microemulsions in the system dioctadeeyldimethylammornum chloride (DODMAC)/ sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)/n-butanol/n-hep-ane/brine were obtained as follows.Investigations have been made on the effects of the concentrations of NaCl and n-butanol(1.0%-14.0%),the rantos of W to Wshs and the kinds of alcohols (n-propanol,n-butanol,and n-pentanol) on the formation,the phase behavtour,the ultralow interfacial tensions,the optimal salinity (S*),and the length of salinity (S).Some rules and data were worked out about the formation and characteristics of the middle-phase microemulsions.The mi-crostruenres of the middle-phase microemulsions were also studied by using FT-IR,ESR,and freeze fracture electron microscopy techmques The results from the three methods show that the microstructures of the middle-phase mi-croemnlsions undergo the change from O/W to bicontinuous(B C.) and to W/O.The distribution rule of the orga-mzed molecule ass     

Theoretical Study on the Inclusion Complex of β-Cyclodextrin and Nitrobenzene

Quantum chemical calculations were carried out to investigate the structures and properties for the inclusion complexes of nitrobenzene (NB) into β-cyclodextrin. Two low-energy conformations of β-cyclodextrin (A and B) in the gas phase were initially investigated by the PM3 and B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) calculations, respectively. Three different orientations were considered in the inclusion process of A and B with NB to form 1:1 complexes. Potential energy scan by PM3 calculations indicated that the phenyl orientation Ab for conformation A and the equator orientation Bc for conformation B are more favorable in energy, respectively. We also considered the 2:1 inclusion complexes of host A or B with guest NB in the gas phase. PM3 calculation indicated that the host-guest interaction energies to form 1:1 complexes are more negative than those to form 2:1 NB/B complexes. Finally, we studied the solvent effect of NB/CD complex, and PM3 results show that the influence of water molecules on the inclusion process is very important. The driving forces for the inclusion process and the geometries of complexes were discussed in detail.     

Comparative Studies on Structure and Electronic Properties Between Thermal Lithiated Li_(0.5)MnO_2 and LiMn_2O_4

Monoclinic Li0.5MnO2 was synthesized by solid state reaction and the spectral and magnetic properties were studied in comparison with those of spinel LiMn2O4.The XRD pattern and Raman spectrum of Li0.5MnO2 are different from those of LiMn2O4,which indicate the different long-range and short-range crystal structure.XPS result shows the binding energies of 2p3/2 and 2p1/2 in Li0.5MnO2 are located at 642.3 and 653.6 eV,respectively.Through fitting the XPS spectra,the valence state of Mn ion in Li0.5MnO2 coincides with that in LiMn2O4.The high-temperature susceptibility of Li0.5MnO2 can be fitted by Curie-Weiss law whose Curie and Weiss constants are 33 A·m2·K/(mol·T) and-277(6) K,respectively.Although Li0.5MnO2 shows spin glass ground state,the transition temperature of Li0.5MnO2 is about 9 K lower than that of LiMn2O4.     

Synthesis of Polymer-bound Sensitizers and their Applications in the Preparation of Previtamin D3 from Tachysterol

Two kinds of polymer-bound photosensitizers were synthesized, in which anthracene acts as sensitizer moiety,polystyrene (PS) and poly(methyl methylacrylate) (PMMA) serve as solid phase supports, respectively. The photoisomerization of tachysterol to previtamin D3 was carried out with these polymer-bound photosensitizers in ethanol and toluene solutions. The experiment results demonstrate that these solid phase photosensitizers are efficient for the photoisomerization with good recycle property and can be simply separated from the reaction mixtures by filtration.     

Synthesis,Characterization and X-ray Structure of N-(4-bromobutanoyl-N’-(2-3- and 4-methylphenyl)thiourea

N-4-(bromobutanoyl)-N'-(o-, m- and p-tolyl)thioureas 3a, 3b and 3c respectively, were synthesized by the reaction of 4-bromobutanoylisothiocyanate with p-, m- and o-toludine. The products were characterized by IR, and NMR spectroscopic techniques. The two carbonoylthiourea isomers N-(4-bromobutanoyl)-N'-(3-methylphenyl)thiourea(3b) and N-(4-bromobutanoyl)-N'-(4-methylphenyl)thiourea(3c) were obtained in crystalline form by recrystallization from DMSO. Xray crystallographic studies showed that both compounds 3b and 3c crystallize in triclinic system with space group of P1. The molecules adopt trans-cis configuration with respect to the positions of 4-bromobutanoyl and tolyl groups respectively, against the thiono C=S bond across their C–N bonds. The configuration is attributed by the intrahydrogen bond between the carbonyl oxygen and amide hydrogen atoms. Both crystal structures are stabilized by N–H···S intermolecular hydrogen bonds to form dimers and arranged along the b axis.     

Characterization of Hapten-Protein Conjugates for Immunoassay of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons（PAHs）

Preparation and characterization of the hapten-protein conjugates are fundamental to developing environmental immunoassays. As a hapten, 1-pyrenebutyric acid（PBA） was conjugated to the carrier protein of bovine serum albumin（BSA） or ovalbumin（OVA） by active ester method. Infrared spectra（IR） showed that PBA-BSA and PBA-OVA conjugates were successfully prepared. The number of the haptens conjugated to the carrier protein was determined by ultraviolet spectra（UV） and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry（MALDI-TOF-MS）. The calculated average binding ratios of PBA/BSA and PBA/OVA were 18：1 and 10：1 by UV, and 31：1 and 22：1 by MALDI-TOF-MS, respectively. Although there was a discrepancy between the results determined by the two methods, both of them were useful for the characterization of the hapten-protein conjugates. The antibody was produced against the antigen of PBA-BSA, and the affinity was tested by the double agar diffusion method The conjugates and the antibody could be used for developing a sensitive and selective immunoassay of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons（PAHs）.     

Study on the second-order non-linear optical properties of 10-hydrocarbylacridones

Twenty 10-hydrocarbylacridones and 2-methylacridone, 1-hydroxyacridone were synthesized from acridone and characterized by mp, IR, UV, 1H NMR and MS. Using Nd:YAG as a laser source, the second-order harmonic generation (SHG) values of the acridone derivatives were measured in powder state as compared with urea powder. The results showed that the SHG values of some of 10-hydrocarbylacridones were higher than that of urea, while others were lower. Although the hydrocarbyl substituents (R) attached to nitrogen atom of acridone were different in size and electronegativity, they had a little effect on the SHG values of 10-hydrocarbylacridones. Substituents, such as methyl or hydroxy group connected to the phenyl ring, caused a little effect on the SHG values, too, compared with acridone. The ability of R to push electron toward the nitrogen atom or to pull electron from the nitrogen atom play an important role on the maximum wavelengthes of UV-visible absorption of acridone derivatives.     

Reactive adsorption desulfurization coupling aromatization on Ni/ZnO-Zn_6Al_2O_9 prepared by Zn_xAl_y(OH)_2(CO_3)_z·x H_2O precursor for FCC gasoline

Aiming to improve the reactive adsorption desulfurization(RADS) performances of Ni/Zn O adsorbents,ZnxAly(OH)2(CO3)z·x H2 O precursor is synthesized by coprecipitation of Zn2+,AlO-2,and CO2-3; the Zn OZn6Al2O9 composite oxides are obtained by the calcination of ZnxAly(OH)2(CO3)z·x H2 O precursor,and the Ni/Zn O-Zn6Al2O9(6.0 wt% Ni O) adsorbents are prepared by wetness impregnation method. The phase,acid strength,acid type and quantity,morphology,and thermal properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction,temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia,pyridine-adsorbed infrared spectrum,high-resolution transmission electron microscopy,and Thermo Gravimetry-Derivative Thermo Gravimetry(TG-DTG),respectively. The breakthrough sulfur capacities of six adsorbents are between 34.2 and 47.9 mg/gcat. The kinetic studies indicated that the active energy of RADS(49.4 k J/mol) could reach nano-sized Zn O,the particle size of is about 12.0 nm. All the excellent RADS performances can be due to the high SBET. Also,there are some extents of aromatization reactions that occur,which can be contributed to the B?nsted acid rooted in Zn6Al2O9 composite oxide,and the octane number of products can be preserved well.
