Variable-Energy Photoelectron Spectroscopy of (eta(5)-C(5)H(5))NiNO: Molecular Orbital Assignment and Xalpha-SW Calculations

Variable-energy valence and inner-valence photoelectron spectra have been recorded for the CpNiNO complex (Cp = eta(5)-C(5)H(5)) between 21.2 and 100 eV, using He I radiation and synchrotron radiation. The ground state electronic structure has been calculated by using the Xalpha-SW method. Photoionization cross sections (sigma) have also been calculated for the valence ionizations using the Xalpha-SW method. The theoretical branching ratios (sigma(i)/ summation operatorsigma) have been compared with the observed branching ratios (A(i)()/ summation operatorA) between 21.2 and 100 eV. The assignment of the photoelectron spectrum based on the analysis of intensity variations and width of vibrational peaks is consistent with the ion state orbital ordering 5e(1)(1) < 7a(1)(2) < 3e(2)(3) < 4e(1)(4) (band numbers are in parentheses) and is inconsistent with another recently proposed ordering 5e(1)(1), 5e(1)(2) < 7a(1), 3e(2)(3) < 4e(1)(4), which takes the 5e(1) vibronic effects into consideration. The experimental branching ratio results indicate a Ni 3p resonance effect around 75 eV in the photoionization process. The inner-valence spectrum has also been assigned with the aid of the Xalpha-SW calculations.     

Self-intersections of curves on surfaces

Let M be a compact orientable surface with nonempty boundary (x(M)<0) and fundamental group . Let be a geodesic on M (with a fixed hyperbolic structure), and let W be a (cyclically reduced) word in a fixed set of generators of which represents . In this paper, we give an algorithm to count the number of self-intersections of in terms of W, generalizing a result of Birman and Series, where an algorithm was given to decide if was simple. Some applications of the algorithm to surfaces with one boundary and the Markoff spectrum are also given.     

多壁碳纳米管-Nafion复合膜修饰玻碳电极测定硝苯地平的研究

研制了以Nafion分散羧基化多壁碳纳米管的化学修饰电极(Nafion-MWCNTs/GC),研究了硝苯地平(NIF)在修饰电极上的电化学行为和测定方法。实验结果表明,在0.1mol/LNH3-NH4Cl(pH9.6)溶液中,Nafion-MWCNTs/GC,对NIF具有明显的催化和增敏作用,还原峰电位由-0.85V(裸电极)正移到-0.75V(vs.AgCl/Ag)(修饰电极),灵敏度增加约7倍。对各种实验条件进行了优化。定量测定的线性范围为2.5×10-7~4.5×10-5mol/L,r为0.9974;检出限为8.0×10-8mol/L。探讨了NIF在Nafion-MWCNTs/GC上的电极过程和反应机理,测得在本体系中参与反应的质子数和电子转移数均为4,电子转移系数α为0.41。对NIF药片进行了测定,回收率为94.5%~101.0%。     

低碳烃芳构化过程中HZSM－5催化剂结炭规律的研究

用ＧＣ、ＴＰＯ－ＧＣ、ＮＨ＿３－ＴＰＤ和ＴＥＭ等方法，测定了丙烷在ＨＺＳＭ－５沸石上芳构化过程中，催化剂的活性、结炭量、结炭Ｃ／Ｈ比、酸密度等，考察了催化剂的结炭量与其它参数之间的关系。结果表明，在反应温度为８７３Ｋ，进料空速ＷＨＳＶ＝５ｈ￣（－１）时，丙烷在ＨｚＳＭ－５上的结炭首先发生在沸石晶体的外表面的活性中心上（结炭量１．８％之前）；结炭量为１．８～３．４％时，主要在孔道交叉点结炭；结炭量在３．４～５．７％时，孔道已有受限或阻塞现象发生，导致一些富氢的结炭物在孔道内生成。     

A facile approach to surface graft vinyl acetate onto polyolefin articles

A facile and environment friendly approach was developed to graft vinyl acetate (VAc) onto plastic articles in an aqueous solution using tert‐butyl alcohol (TBA) as a compatiblizer and benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as an initiator. In a novel setup, excessive monomer suspended in a water phase, VAc could be conveniently grafted on the model substrate of low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) film and the graft percentage (GP) could be developed up to 7.3%. Reaction temperature could increase GP significantly, while adding monomer over a critical volume did not influence GP. By adding some paradioxybenzene, i.e. 0.06–0.08% in VAc phase, homopolymer PVAc could be avoided practically, while graft polymerization proceeded favorably in aqueous solutions. It was proved by attenuated total reflection‐infrared (ATR‐IR) spectroscopy that grafted VAc was located mainly at the surface of the LDPE film and hydrophilic nature of both grafted and alcoholyzed films were improved via contact angle measurements.
