Tunable Surface‐Enhanced Raman Scattering from High‐Density Gold Semishell Arrays with Controllable Dimensions

A convenient reproducible technique is reported for the fabrication of large‐area gold semishell arrays by mechanically pressing porous anodic alumina (PAA) stamps into gold/polymer bilayer structures that serve as robust and cost‐efficient surface‐enhanced Raman‐scattering (SERS) substrates. The surface structure can be tuned further to optimize the enhancement factor according to optional PAA fabrication parameters and imprinting pressures. Finite‐difference time‐domain calculations indicate that the structure may possess excellent SERS characteristics due to the high density and abundance of hot spots.     

Synthesis and photopolymerization kinetics of a single-molecular hydrogen-abstract free radical photoinitiator 1,3-Benzodioxole-5-yl-Methyl-Maleimide

1,3-benzodioxole-5-yl-methyl-maleimide (BDOMM), a type of hydrogen-abstraction photoinitiator with both hydrogen donor and acceptor in one molecule for free radical photopolymerization, was synthesized through the reaction of piperonyl amine and maleic anhydride and characterized by IR, UV and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The results obtained indicated that the introduction of BDOMM could avoid the use of additional amine coinitiator, decrease the leachablity of photoinitiator and maintain high photo-initiation efficiency.

Intrinsic Peroxidase‐like Activity of Porous CuO Micro‐/nanostructures with Clean Surface

Porous CuO micro‐/nanostructures with clean surface, prepared through Cu₂(OH)₂CO₃ precursor followed by calcination in air, were proven to be an effective peroxidase mimic. They can quickly catalyze oxidation of the peroxidase substrate 3,3′,5,5′‐tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of H₂O₂, producing a blue color. The obtained porous CuO micro‐/nanostructure have potential application in wastewater treatment. The apparent steady‐state kinetic parameter was studied with TMB as the substrate. In addition, the potential application of the porous CuO in wastewater treatment was demonstrated with phenol‐containing water as an example. Such investigation not only confirms the intrinsic peroxidase‐like activity of micro‐/nanostructured CuO, but also suggests its potential application in wastewater treatment.     

Copper‐Catalyzed Three‐Component Azidotrifluoromethylation/Difunctionalization of Alkenes

A novel three‐component strategy for the azidotrifluoromethylation of alkenes has been presented here.

炭黑颗粒及氟粒子辅助法合成多级结构MCM-22分子筛及其催化性能

以碳黑为第二模板剂在氟离子体系中一步水热合成了多级结构MCM-22分子筛组装体（简称为MCM-22-FC）。考察了碳黑和氟离子对MCM-22分子筛形貌和催化性能的影响。MCM-22-FC分子筛是由大量片状晶体交错生长形成的组装体结构,其中MCM-22的片层结构更薄,在其固有的微孔中存在的晶间孔呈现大孔和介孔的特征。MCM-22-FC负载Mo后得到的Mo/MCM-22-FC催化剂在甲烷无氧芳构化反应（MDA）中提高了苯收率和芳烃选择性,并且提高了催化剂的寿命。通过氨气程序升温脱附（NH₃-TPD）表征,吡啶红外（Py-IR）表征,结合热重（TG）分析,得出的结论是Mo/MCM-22-FC在MDA中优越的催化性能是由于氟离子进入到分子筛骨架当中,形成具有拉电子效应的结构单元,从而提高了分子筛的Brönsted酸量,较多的Brönsted酸性位将更多的Mo物种迁移至分子筛孔道内部,形成更多的MoC_x或MoO_xC_y活性物种以及更有利于大分子产物扩散的MCM-22薄片层的结构。少量过剩的Brönsted酸性位在成型后保留在Mo/HMCM-22-FC催化剂活性中心抑制了积碳的形成,也有助于改善芳烃的选择性。
