Relevance of analytical pyrolysis studies to biomass conversion

The principles and methods of soft ionization mass spectrometry in combination with pyrolysis of macromolecules are outlined. Essential features of the newly developed techniques are the extension of the recorded mass range and the almost exclusive formation of molecular ions of the pyrolyzates. Using field ionization and field desorption mass spectrometry at low and high mass resolution, with electrical and photographic detection, pyrolysis products of biomass were analyzed for the first time. The results of flash pyrolysis by Curie-point heating and thermally programmed degradation of biopolymers are compared.The main topic is the evaluation of the methodology for time- and temperature-resolved pyrolysis. The thermograms and pyrolysis mass spectra obtained enable the study of pyrolysis reactions and the chemical fingerprinting of complex biological matter. The kinetics for the devolatilization of individual chemical species or classes of compounds can be monitored. Curie-point pyrolysis of biopolymers such as kappa-carrageenan and time-programmed degradation of cellulose and lignin are reported. Furthermore, preliminary investigations of pine wood and coal illustrate the potential of the introduced methods.     

Control of structure and photophysical properties by protonation and subsequent intramolecular hydrogen bonding

Protonation and subsequent intramolecular hydrogen bonding as methods to control chain structure and tune luminescence in heteroatomic conjugated polymers were reported experimentally [A. P. Monkman et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 124, 6049 (2002)]. In this paper, the structure and photophysical properties of the model teraryl compound of phenylene-pyridylene copolymer before and after protonation are theoretically studied with quantum chemistry methods. From the optimized ground states, intramolecular hydrogen bonding to the adjacent oxygen atom in the alkoxy substituent planarizes the backbone of the molecules, and the optimized detailed results of compound 9 before and after protonation, such as the dihedral angles between the central benzene and the two pyridyl rings, the bond lengths, and the bond angles, are consistent with the experimental results. From the results of the calculated excited states, the protonation and subsequent intramolecular hydrogen bonding result in the redshifts of the absorption, the increase of the ionization energy, the increase of the electron affinity, the decrease of the energy difference of the highest occupied molecular orbital and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital, the decrease of the binding gap, and the delocalization of the electron-hole coherence. The photophysical properties of compound 9 before and after protonation are further studied with a three-dimensional real-space analysis method of transition and charge difference densities (study transition dipole moment and charge transfer in the absorption and fluorescence processes) and two-dimensional real-space analysis method of transition density matrices (study the electron-hole coherence and the excitation delocalization). The calculated results show theoretically an insight understanding on the influence of the protonation and subsequent intramolecular hydrogen bonding to chain structure and photophysical properties.     

Current trends in the development of A. M. Butlerov’s theory of chemical structure

The chemical structure concept developed by A. M. Butlerov supplemented by the views on spatial (J. H. van’t-Hoff and J. A. Le Bel) and electronic (G. Lewis) configurations of molecules constitute the basis of the classical theory of chemical structure. The advent of quantum mechanics and development of the computer chemistry extended and enhanced the conceptual basis of theoretical chemistry, which nevertheless retains its independent value and cannot be reduced to direct physical definitions. The review deals with the evolution of the key concepts of the classical theory of chemical structure and introduction of new notions and approaches to analysis of the structure and reactivity problems, which is associated with the advent of the quantum mechanics and quantum chemistry views and methods.

Toxic effects of Citrus aurantium and C. limon essential oils on Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Citrus aurantium and C. limon were selected in the search for natural plant insecticides. The essential oils of C. aurantium and C. limon and ethanol extracts of the seeds, pulp, albedo, and peel of C. aurantium were incorporated into the larval diet of the lepidopteran pest Spodoptera frugiperda. Larval and pupal mortality were quantified and adult malformation was observed. C aurantium essential oil had antifeedant action and the mixture of albedo ethanol extract and C aurantium essential oil had toxic effects on S. frugiperda larvae at early stages, when they had not yet produced major damage to the crop. Our results indicated that a mixture of ethanol extract of albedo and C. aurantium essential oil (250 microg of extract mix per g of diet) deterred feeding by 46% and had the highest larval mortality (100%) of the materials tested. The peel extract (250 microg per g of diet) produced an increment in growth rate and diet consumption. However, 40% of the larval and 45% of the pupal populations died after 96 h of treatment. The blend of essential oil and C. aurantium albedo ethanol extract showed the lowest consumption and a poor nutrient conversion into biomass. Finally, the presence of D-limonene and nootkatone in the peel ethanol extract, and C. limon and C. aurantium essential oils, may be the cause of the response in the feeding behavior and toxic effects found on S. frugiperda.

Effect of reaction medium on the radical polymerization and copolymerization of potassium and sodium p-styrenesulphonate

The kinetics of the homogeneous free radical polymerization of potassium p-styrenesulphonate and sodium p-styrenesulphonate (SSS) in water-salt, water-dioxane, water-dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO), DMSO—dioxane mixtures and copolymerization of SSS with acrylamide in water-salt and water-DMSO mixtures have been investigated. The overall rate of the process, the kinetic orders with respect to monomer and initiator, overall activation energy and also the properties of the resulting polymers (molecular weight, copolymer composition and compositional inhomogeneity) depend on the nature of the reaction medium. It is mainly connected with the influence of ionic strength (due to varying ionogenic monomer concentration, addition of salts and also the change of the conversion degree) and with the influence of the polarity of solvent on the rate constants for propagation and termination. The chemical and physical characteristic of the reaction mainly influence parameters of the electrostatic interactions in the system “macroradical-counterions-anions of monomer”. This leads to conformational variation of polymer chains and influences the reactivities of growing macroradicals and ionogenic monomers in polymerization and copolymerization. Data on conductivity and viscometric measurements confirmed the dependence of the conformation of polymer and copolymer macromolecules upon the composition of the medium.     

Complex heterogeneous catalytic reactions. Some aspects of simulation

Heterogeneous catalytic reactions take place by stage mechanisms. The existence of reactants and products (at reactor input and output) and intermediates (not included in final equations of reactions) enables to derive a series of linear algebraic equations observed in stationary conditions in each point of reactor and in each point of catalyst grain. This “theory of stationary complex reactions” was developed first in the works of J. Horiuti and M.I. Temkin. Accounting some relationships of this theory enables to derive the first integrals for the set of the differential equations describing the zero-gradient reactors, flow reactors, and fluidized-bed reactors. Their consideration in the internal diffusion processes results in the relationships of diffusion stoichiometry and similar relationships for the grain surface concentrations and temperature. All the said relationships should be taken into account for calculation of the relevant reactors. Accounting the given relationships provides the correct solution of the relevant problem and reduces the order of the set of the differential equations to be solved. Some calculation features and restrictions in solution of inverse kinetic problems arise also if the mechanism of reactions involves reversible and equilibrium routes. This study systematizes the aforesaid issues and indicates to applicability and importance of the features of complex heterogeneous catalytic reactions for simulation of catalytic processes.     

Adsorption of cyanine dyes on gold nanoparticles and formation of J-aggregates in the nanoparticle assembly

This paper describes the results of an investigation of the interparticle interactions and reactivities in the assembly of gold nanoparticles mediated by cyanine dyes. The combination of the positively charged indolenine cyanine dyes and the negatively charged gold nanoparticles is shown to form a J-aggregate bridged assembly of nanoparticles, in addition to hydrophobic interparticle and electrostatic dye-particle interactions. Such interparticle interactions and reactivities are studied by probing the absorption of J-aggregates and fluorescence from the dyes and the surface plasmon resonance absorption from the nanoparticles. The J-aggregation of the dyes adsorbed on the nanoparticles is shown to play an important role in the assembly of nanoparticles. The spectral evolution of the J-band of the dyes and the surface plasmon resonance band of the nanoparticles was found to be sensitive to the nature of the charge and the structure of the dyes. The fluorescence quenching for the dyes was shown to be quantitatively related to the surface coverage of the dyes on the nanocrystal surfaces. These findings have provided important information for assessing a two-step process involving a rapid adsorption of the dyes on the nanoparticles and a subsequent assembly of the nanoparticles involving a combination of interparticle J-aggregation and hydrophobic interactions of the adsorbed dyes. The results are discussed in terms of the structural effects of the dyes, and the interparticle molecular interactions and reactivities, which provide important physical and chemical insights into the design of dye-nanoparticle structured functional nanomaterials.     

Mesoporous Molecular Sieves Modified with Carbonaceous Deposits

There were investigated aluminosilicate MCM-41 samples in the as-prepared form and those modified by the deposition of carbonaceous compounds during conversion of cyclohexene for 12 h. The amount of the deposits decreased with the rising reaction temperature and increased with the Al content of the samples. The cyclohexene conversion followed mainly two mechanisms: cyclohexene skeletal isomerization and hydrogen transfer. The products with 6 carbon atoms in a molecule prevailed in all cases. The process of conversion, proceeding on the Brønsted acid sites, resulted in formation of both coke deposits and volatile products. The creation of coke caused a decrease in the effective concentration of both the Brønsted and the Lewis acid sites. Thermodesorption of pyridine showed that (i) the concentration of these sites before and after the conversion differed only slightly and (ii) the acidic strength of the Brønsted sites was practically independent of their concentration and the sample Si/Al ratio. The chemical composition of the deposits was insignificantly affected by the Al content of the materials and depended mostly on the temperature and duration of the reaction. At relatively low temperatures, both aliphatic and aromatic compounds were formed, being rather weakly bound to the surface of the material. After a longer (55 h) reaction period, some deposits appeared that were strongly bound to the surface. Isotherms of adsorption of water, benzene, and nitrogen were determined, from which a mechanism of this process was derived. It included most probably multilayer adsorption at lower relative pressures, followed by capillary condensation. The sorption capacities of the uncoked samples for benzene and nitrogen were relatively high and independent of the sample Al content. In the case of water, however, an observed reduction in the sorption capacity with the increasing Al content suggested that clusters of the adsorbed molecules formed around the Al centers and caused partial clogging of the material pores. The deposited coke strongly decreased both the surface area and the sorption capacity of the materials.

Numerical study of the kinetics of unimolecular heterogeneous reactions onto planar surfaces

In this paper we investigate two-dimensional in space mathematical models of the kinetics of unimolecular heterogeneous reactions proceeding onto planar surfaces. The models are based on Langmuir-type kinetics of the adsorption, desorption, and reaction including the surface diffusion of the adsorbate, surface diffusion of the product before its desorption, and slow desorption of the product from the adsorbent. It is also assumed that the reactant diffuses towards an adsorbent from a bounded vessel and the product diffuses from the adsorbent into the same vessel. Diffusivity of all species and kinetic coefficients are constants. The numerical simulation was carried out using the finite difference technique for four models: one model neglects the surface diffusion of the adsorbate and product, the second one includes the surface diffusion of the adsorbate and product, the third of them includes the surface diffusion of the adsorbate and neglects diffusion of the product along the surface, and the last one neglects the surface diffusion of the adsorbate and includes diffusion of the product along the adsorbent. By changing input parameters effects of the surface diffusion of the adsorbate and product and the slow desorption of the product are studied numerically.

Silylstannylation of allenes and silylstannylation-cyclization of allenynes. Synthesis of highly functionalized allylstannanes and carbocyclic and heterocyclic compounds

Catalyzed by Pd(0), trialkylsilyltrialkylstannane (R(3)Si-SnR'(3)) reagents undergo highly selective additions to 1,2-dien-7-ynes and 1,2-dien-8-ynes to give 2-vinylalkylidenecyclopentanes with silicon and tin substituents on the double bonds. Similar additions of distannanes and borostannanes show that the reactions with silylstannanes are superior in terms of ease of handling of the bifunctional reagents and the isolation of the products after the reaction. The chemo- and regioselectivities are controlled by the enhanced reactivity of the allene unit, while the (Z)-geometry of the exocyclic stannylvinylidene is a consequence of the syn-carbometalation and subsequent reductive elimination from Pd with retention of configuration at the vinyl carbon. Synthesis of highly functionalized pyrrolidines and indolizidines and the reluctance of certain kinds of allenynes and silicon-tin reagents to undergo the cyclization illustrate the scope and limitations of the reaction. Based on the isolation of intermediates, a mechanism for the formation of the cyclic compounds is proposed. Model transition states to explain the stereoselectivity in cyclization of substituted allenynes are provided. Further elaboration using the vinyltin and vinylsilane moieties should lead to highly functionalized carbocyclic and heterocyclic compounds. Under similar conditions, addition of silylstannanes to highly functionalized allenes gives E-allylstannanes with high stereoselectivity. Functional groups such as THP- and silyl-ethers, lactones, beta- and gamma-lactams, alpha,beta-unsaturated esters, olefins, and substituted acetylenes are tolerated under the reaction conditions.
