Thermochemistry on the Complex of Erbium Perchlorate with L-α-Glutamic Acid [Er2（L-Glu）2（H2O）6]（ClO4）4·6H2O（s）

A coordination compound of erbium perchlorate with L-α-glutamic acid, [Er2（Glu）2（H2O）6]（ClO4）4·6H2O（s）, was synthesized. By chemical analysis, elemental analysis, FTIR, TG/DTG, and comparison with relevant literatures, its chemical composition and structure were established. The mechanism of thermal decomposition of the complex was deduced on the basis of the TG/DTG analysis. Low-temperature heat capacities were measured by a precision automated adiabatic calorimeter from 78 to 318 K. An endothermic peak in the heat capacity curve was observed over the temperature region of 290-318 K, which was ascribed to a solid-to-solid phase transition. The temperature Ttrans, the enthalpy △transHm and the entropy △transSm of the phase transition for the compound were determined to be： （308.73±0.45） K, （10.49±0.05） kJ·mol^-1 and （33.9±0.2） J·K^-1·mol^-1. Polynomial equation of heat capacities as a function of the temperature in the region of 78-290 K was fitted by the least square method. Standard molar enthalpies of dissolution of the mixture [2ErCl3·6H2O（s）＋2L-Glu（s）＋6NaClO4·H2O（s）] and the mixture {[Er2（Glu）2（H2O）6]（ClO4）4·6H2O（s）＋6NaCl（s）} in 100 mL of 2 mol·dm^-3 HClO4 as calorimetric solvent, and {2HClO4（1）} in the solution A＇ at T=298.15 K were measured to be, △dHm,1=（31.552±0.026） kJ·mol^-1, △dHm,2 = （41.302±0.034） kJ·mol^-1, and △dHm,3 = （ 14.986 ± 0.064） kJ·mol^-1, respectively. In accordance with Hess law, the standard molar enthalpy of formation of the complex was determined as △fHm-=-（7551.0±2.4） kJ·mol^-1 by using an isoperibol solution-reaction calorimeter and designing a thermochemical cycle.     

激光通道传输热特性对远场光束质量的影响

 通过仿真计算分析了激光在光束控制系统通道内传输所产生的热效应及其对远场光束质量的影响。激光传播由近轴波方程描述，用快速傅里叶变换技术求解；激光热效应引起的流场密度变化采用完全Navier-Stokes方程计算。计算给出了不同波长、不同吸收系数条件下的远场光斑情况。计算结果表明，在典型的工作条件和状态下，较高能量激光在光束控制系统通道内产生的热效应影响不容忽视，它会明显降低远场目标处的能量集中度，增大光斑的发散。

Synthesis,structure and catalytic polymerization activity of half‐sandwich cyclometallated iridium complexes

A series of mononuclear half‐sandwich cyclometallated iridium complexes with Schiff base ligands were synthesized in good yields. Five air‐stable C,N‐chelate mode complexes were obtained smoothly through metal‐mediated C─H bond activation. Treatments of dimeric metal complexes [Cp*IrCl₂]₂ with ligands L1–L5 afforded the corresponding C,N‐chelate mononuclear half‐sandwich iridium(III) complexes 1 – 5 . These iridium complexes exhibit high catalytic activity for norbornene polymerization. Both steric and electronic effects of the substituted groups have influences on the behaviors of the polymerization process. All complexes were characterized using infrared and NMR spectroscopies and elemental analysis. Molecular structures of complexes 1 , 2 and 5 were further confirmed using single‐crystal X‐ray analysis.     

Significant change in water contact angle of electrospray‐synthesized SiO2 films depending on their surface morphology

Amorphous SiO₂ films were deposited by means of an electrospray technique. The relation between the water contact angle (WCA) of the deposited SiO₂ films and the surface morphology is investigated. The feeding rate of the electrospray process greatly affects the morphology of the synthesized SiO₂ films. There is also a significant change in the WCA on the surface of the films: the rougher the surface, the greater the WCA. A model based on the Cassie–Baxter formulation is used to explain the change observed in the WCA on the SiO₂ films. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Effect of atmospheric parameters on fine particulate concentration in suburban Shanghai

A study was conducted on the effect of atmospheric parameters,including temperature,wind speed,and relative humidity,on fine particulate mass concentrations measured in Jiading District of Shanghai,China, during the period from January 2009 to January 2010.A sensitivity analysis was applied to investigate the interaction between atmospheric parameters and particulate mass concentration.The experiment revealed that the concentration of particulates increased with particle size from 0.1 to 1.0μm,and decreased with the increase of particle size from 1.0 to 2.5μm.The effects of atmospheric parameters on fine mass concentrations were significantly particle size-dependent.The PM_1.0-2.5 may come from the size increase of smaller particulates after moisture absorption.And the variation of concentrations of PM_0.1-1.0 was mainly attributed to the accumulation of PM_0.1.The ventilation index and dilution index were calculated on the basis of data collected in December 2009.A correlation analysis indicated that there was a significant relation between these two indexes and the particulate concentration by examining the three particle size ranges,0.0-0.1,0.1-1.0,and 1.0-2.5μm.The Spearman correlation coefficients that related the ventilation index to the concentration for the three particle size ranges were -0.45,-0.56 and -0.47, respectively,while the coefficients that related the dilution index to the concentration were -0.36,-0.42 and -0.45,respectively.
