Synthesis and hydrosilation of multi-vinyl branched siloxane for self-healing system

In this work, the preparation of α,ω-dichloride-terminated multi-vinyl branched siloxane 1 （yield： 57.1%） used for self-healing polymer composites were synthesized via ring-opening of 1,3,5,7-tetravinyl-1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-cyclotetrasiloxane （D4^vi） in the presence of vinylmethydichlorosilane （VM-32）. 1 was hydrogenated by aluminum lithium hydride （LiAlH4） to get self-healing monomer 2 （yield： 79.8%） which contained both Si-H bonds and Si-vinyl bonds. Then hydrosilation occurred between these two bands and finally silicone 3 was obtained, showing the potential of self-healing.     

Synthesis of Pt and Pt-Fe nanoparticles supported on MWCNTs used as electrocatalysts in the methanol oxidation reaction

This work reports a feasible synthesis of highly-dispersed Pt and Pt-Fe nanoparticles supported on multiwall carbon nanotubes （MWCNTs） without Fe and multiwall carbon nanotubes with iron （MWCNTs-Fe） which applied as electrocatalysts for methanol electrooxidation. A Pt coordination complex salt was synthesized in an aqueous solution and it was used as precursor to prepare Pt/MWCNTs, Pt/MWCNTs-Fe, and Pt-Fe/MWCNTs using FeC12.4H20 as iron source which were named S 1, S2 and S3, respectively. The coordination complex of platinum （TOA）2PtC16 was obtained by the chemical reaction between （NH4）2PtC16 with tetraoctylammonium bromide （TOAB） and it was characterized by FT-IR and TGA. The materials were characterized by Raman spectroscopy, SEM, EDS, XRD, TEM and TGA. The electrocatalytic activity of Pt-based supported on MWCNTs in the methanol oxidation was investigated by cyclic voltammetry （CV） and chronoamperometry （CA）. Pt-Fe/MWCNTs electrocatalysts showed the highest electrocatalytic activity and stability among the tested electrocatalysts due to that the addition of ＂Fe＂ promotes the OH species adsorption on the electrocatalyst surface at low potentials, thus, enhancing the activity toward the methanol oxidation reaction （MOR）.

Both of the complexes possess complex anion [Mo（VI）O2（OC10H6O）2]^2- which shows pseudo-octahedrally coordinated fashion, while the counterions are two protonated 1,3-propanediamine in complex 1 and （CsH11N2）^＋ in complex 2. （C5H11N2）＋ is the byproduct of reaction 2, which results from combination of acetonitrile with 1,3-propanediamine. Packing diagrams of the two complexes are also different. There is anti-parallel-aligned-double-meso-bilayer unit in complex 1. However there are four chiral anions arranged in anticlockwise orientation in complex 2.

Effect of water droplet in solvent sublation

Aqueous phase layer around bubble and water droplet are two additional processes in solvent sublation. In the dynamic process of mass transfer, they are always neglected, but they are very important in the investigation of thermodynamic equilibrium. In this paper, the effect of water droplet in solvent sublation was discussed in detail, and the previous mathematical model of solvent subaltion was improved. Matlab 6.5 was used to simulate the process of water droplets, and the comparison between the previous hypothesis and the improvement in this paper showed the superiority, especially in the investigation of thermodynamic equilibrium. Moreover, the separation and concentration of the complex compound dithizone-Co（Ⅱ） from aqueous phase to n-octanol by solvent sublation also proved the improved mathematical model was reasonable.

The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of ABZ in tablets and human urine.     

Study on Properties of TBP-HNO3 Complex Used for Direct Dissolution of Lanthanide and Actinide Oxides in Supercritical Fluid CO2

The tri-n-butyl phosphate-nitric acid （TBP-HNO3） complex prepared by contacting the pure TBP with the concentrated HNO3 can be used for direct dissolution of lanthanide and actinide oxides in the supercritical fluid carbon dioxide （SCF-CO2）. Properties of the TBP-HNO3 complex have been studied. Experimental results showed that when the initial HNO3/TBP volume ratio was varied from 1 ： 7 to 5 ： 1, the concentration of HNO3 in the TBP-HNO3 complex changed from 1.95 to 5.89 mol/L, the [HNO3]/[TBP] ratio of the TBP-HNO3 complex changed from 0.61 to 2.22, and the content of H20 in the TBP-HNO3 complex changed from 2.02% to 4.19%. All of the density, viscosity and surface tension of the TBP-HNO3 complex changed with the concentration of HNO3 in the complex, and were higher than those of the pure TBE The protons of HNO3 and H2O in the complex underwent rapid exchange to exhibit a singlet resonance peak in nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. When the TBP-HNO3 complex was dissolved in a low dielectric constant solvent, small droplets of HNO3 were formed that can be detected by NMR.

Characters of the Plateau of Methanol Increment in Frontal Analysis in Reversed Phase Liquid Chromatography

With insulin methanol-water,and the ion-pairing agent,hydrochloric acid and trifluroacetic acid(TEA),the character of the first plateau(FP)on the elution curve of frontal analysis in reversed phase liquid chromatography(RPLC)was investigated by on-line UV-spectrometry and identified with nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR) spectrometry and mass spectrometry.The profile of the FP is the same as that of a usual elution curve of methanol in frontal analysis(FA).When the insulin concentration was limited to a certain range,the height of the FP was found to be proportional to the insulin concentration in mobile phase and its length companying to shorten,The FP profile on the intersection of two tangents reflects the components of the microstructure in the depth direction of the bonded stationary phase layer and the desorption dynamics of the displaced components.The displaced methanol was quantitatively determined by NMR and on-line UV spectrometries.TFA with high UV absorbance can not be used as an ionpairing agent for the investigation of the FP in RPLC,but if can be used as a good marker to investigate the complicated transfer process of components in the stationary phase in RPLC.A stoichiometric displacement process between solute and solvent was proved to be valid in both usual and FA in RPLC.From the point of view of dynamics of mass transfer, the solutes can only contact to the surface of stationary phase in usual RPLC,while solute can penetrate into it in FA of RPLC.The solvation of insulin in methanol and water solution as an example indicating the usage of the FP in the FA was also investigated in this paper.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a New Cu（Ⅱ） Dithiocarbamate Complex CuI（prdtc）（phen）

A new mononuclear Cu（Ⅱ） dithiocarbamate complex CuI（prdtc）（phen） 1 （prdtc = N-pyrrolidinyldithiocarbamate, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline） was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectrum, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to the monoclinic system, space group P21/c with a = 8.7110（9）, b = 14.7143（14）, c = 14.8507（15） A, β = 109.721（6）°, V = 1791.9（3） A3, Z = 4, Dc = 1.916 g/cm3, CI7H16CulN3S2, Mr = 516.89, λ（MoKa） = 0.71073A,μ = 3.178 mm^-1, F（000） = 1012, the final R = 0.0369 and wR = 0.0987. A total of 4082 unique reflections were collected, of which 2916 with I 〉 2σ（I） were observed. The Cu（Ⅱ） atom is five-coordinated in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry by one I atom in the apical position, two S atoms from a prdtc ligand and two N atoms from a phen ligand in the basal plane. There exist face-to-face aromatic π-π stacking interactions between adjacent phen ligands stabilizing the structure and making the complex assemble into a 1D structure along the a axis. It can be concluded that the difference of the dtc flexibility and reaction conditions result in the structural difference between complex 1 and CuI（dmdtc）（phen） （dmdtc = N, N-dimethyldithiocarbamate）.
