Analysis of the mechanism of retention on graphitic carbon by a computational chemical method

Retention mechanism on a graphitic carbon was analyzed by computational chemical calculation. The model graphitic carbon phase was a large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and analytes were carbohydrates and hydrocarbons separated by liquid and gas chromatography. Molecular mechanics calculation was fast and suggested their retention order and main retention force. Molecular orbital package calculation (MOPAC) demonstrated their complex form.     

Kinetic studies of CO2dissociation on supported Ni catalysts

Summary In order to investigate the kinetics of CO₂dissociation on supported nickel catalysts, a novel technique, which can give the surface reaction rate constants with no information on the number of active sites, was developed. It was revealed that CO₂dissociation was more enhanced on TiO₂support than on other metal oxide ones. The activity pattern and activation energies were in good agreement with those obtained by a conventional pulse technique using the number of active sites, suggesting the validity of the present technique for investigating the kinetics of the surface reaction.</o:p>     

One-pot synthesis of N-acyl-substituted sulfamides from chlorosulfonyl isocyanate via the Burgess-type intermediates

The title N-alkoxycarbonyl- or N-aryloxycarbonyl-substituted sulfamides were synthesised in one-pot in efficient yields from chlorosulfonyl isocyanate (CSI), alcohols and aqueous (or dry) amines via the corresponding water-resistant intermediates, carboxysulfamoylammonium salts (Burgess-type reagents), which were generated in situ by the deactivation of the corresponding water-sensitive N-(chlorosulfonyl)carbamates with tertiary amines.
