Triterpene Acids from Cynoglossum amabile

Cynoglossum amabile Stapf et Drumm is widely distributed in southern China, which has been used as an anti-inflammatory, antihepatitis, anticystitis agent in Chinese folk medicine[1]. However, only a few phytochemical researches have been performed[2].     

In situ Preparation of Tri-Fe(Ⅲ) and Bi-Cu(Ⅱ) Clusters from Benzoyl Peroxide Reacting with Metal Powders

Three crystal architectures, including one organic compound of benzoyl peroxide(1) and two clusters of tri-iron(Ⅲ) and bi-cupper(Ⅱ) with benzoic ligands(2 and 3), were self-assembled by an in situ redox way of benzoyl peroxide oxidants reacting with Mo, Fe and Cu powders, respectively. X-ray crystallographic results show that both the asymmetry tri-iron(Ⅲ) cluster and the benzoylperoxide crystal architecture(2 and 1) with complicated 3D networks were constructed by intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactio...     

Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Propane to Propene over Barium Promoted Ni-Mo-O Catalyst

Oxidative dehydrogenation of propane to propene was investigated over Ba- promoted Ni_0.9MoO₄ catalysts (molar ratio of Ba/Mo: 1%, 3%, 6%, 9%, 12%, 15%). The selectivity for propene increases with the increasing number of basic sites on the catalyst, and molybdenum ions play an important role in propane activation. No significant deactivation of the 6% Ba- Ni_0.9MoO₄ and Ni_0.9MoO₄ at 773 K for 80 h and for 40 h, respectively, appeared, indicating that the 6% Ba- Ni_0.9MoO₄ has great advantage over the Ni_0.9MoO₄.
