Meso-tetraaryl cofacial bisporphyrins delivered by Suzuki cross-coupling

The Suzuki cross-coupling methodology provides a facile synthetic approach for the modular preparation of meso-tetraaryl cofacial bisporphyrins anchored by xanthene and dibenzofuran. This synthetic method furnishes cofacial bisporphyrin templates with enhanced steric and electronic protection from mu-oxo formation and oxidative degradation. The ability of these platforms to support multielectron oxidation chemistry mediated by proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) is demonstrated by their reactivity for the catalytic disproportionation of hydrogen peroxide to oxygen and water.     

CO2选择性氧化甲烷制C2烃催化剂La2O3/ZnO的氧化还原和CO2吸附性能

Ｌａ２Ｏ３／ＺｎＯ催化剂体系在以二氧化碳作为氧化剂的甲烷氧化偶联反应中具有很高的Ｃ２烃选择性和稳定性．采用ＣＯ２－ＴＰＤ－ＭＳ和ＴＰＲ技术考察了Ｌａ２Ｏ３／ＺｎＯ对ＣＯ２的吸附性质及其氧化还原行为．结果表明：（１）Ｌａ２Ｏ３／ＺｎＯ催化剂体系存在着强、弱两种碱中心，其中弱碱中心数量随样品中Ｌａ２Ｏ３含量增加而减少，强碱中心强度随样品中Ｌａ２Ｏ３含量增加而增强．（２）由于组分相互作用，高温下，Ｌａ２Ｏ３／ＺｎＯ易产生晶格氧空位，使之对ＣＯ２的吸附增强，吸附后的ＣＯ２与晶格氧作用形成立方晶型Ｌａ２Ｏ２ＣＯ３．（３）Ｌａ２Ｏ３／ＺｎＯ表面的Ｌａ３＋和Ｚｎ２＋可以部分被还原，由于组分间的相互作用，使得二者的还原都较单一组分存在时更难．（４）Ｈ２－ＣＯ２－Ｈ２氧化还原循环实验表明，Ｌａ２Ｏ３／ＺｎＯ表面被部分还原后，ＣＯ２可以将部分被还原的表面再氧化．在此基础上对Ｌａ２Ｏ３／ＺｎＯ催化剂上甲烷与ＣＯ２转化为Ｃ２烃的机制也进行了讨论．     

Determination of pyrethroid metabolites in human urine by capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

Summary An analytical method for the simultaneous determination of the pyrethroid metabolites cis and trans-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane carboxylic acid, cis 3-(2,2-dibromovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane carboxylic acid, 3-phenoxybenzoic acid and 4-fluoro-3-phenoxybenzoic acid in human urine samples is described. The urine is subjected to acid-induced hydrolysis followed by exhaustive solvent extraction, covering both conjugated and free acids, followed by a common derivatisation step yielding the corresponding methyl esters. Quantitation was by diastereomeric, capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. It appears that 4-fluoro-3-phenoxybenzoic acid is a characteristic urinary marker for cyfluthrin exposure. The limits of determination are 0.5–1.0 g L^–1 urine depending on the metabolites concerned. The applicability of the method was tested on urine samples from pest control operators exposed occupationally to cypermethrin and cyfluthrin.     

Influence of acid treatments of carbon nanotube precursors on Ni/CNT in the synthesis of carbon nanotubes

The Ni/CNT catalyst was fabricated by directly dipping carbon nanotube precursors refluxed in 4 M of nitric acid into Ni electroless plating bath, and used to synthesize new carbon nanotubes. The experimental results indicate that the duration of acid-treatment of carbon nanotubes precursors exerts a great influence on the catalysis of Ni/CNT in the synthesis of carbon nanotubes and hence the structures of the new carbon nanotubes. When the carbon nanotubes precursors were refluxed for 0.5 h in 4 M of nitric acid, bamboo-shaped carbon nanotubes (BSCNT) or Y junction carbon nanotubes in the carbon products were obtained. As the duration of acid-treatment of carbon nanotubes precursors increased to 6 h, the as-prepared Ni/CNT displayed higher activity, and the carbon nanotube products were high pure without any Y junction structure or any separation layers in hollow.     

Synthesis of a tweezer-like bis(arylthiaalkoxy)calix[4]arene as a cation sensor for ion-selective electrodes: an investigation of the influence of neighboring halogen atoms on cation selectivity

Two novel tweezer-like 25,27-dihydroxy-26,28-bis(phenylthiaethoxy)calix[4]arenes 6 and 7 were synthesized by the reaction of 25,27-dihydroxy-26,28-bis(bromoethoxy)calix[4]arenes 3 and 4 for the evaluation of their ion-selectivity in ion-selective electrodes (ISEs). X-ray structural analysis indicated that calix[4]arene 7 is in an interesting infinite linear aggregate via self-inclusion. For investigation of the influences of substitutes on the behavior of the ISEs, the halogen substituted aryl analogues of 25,27-dihydroxy-26,28-bis(arylthiaethoxy)calix[4]arenes 8-12 were also synthesized and their ISE performances were evaluated under the same conditions. ISEs based on 6-12 as neutral ionophores were prepared, and their selectivity coefficients for Ag+ (log KAg,M(pot)) were investigated against other alkali metal, alkaline-earth metal, lead, ammonium ions and some transition metal ions using the fixed interference method (FIM). These ISEs showed excellent Ag+ selectivity over most of the interfering cations examined, except for Hg2+ having relative smaller interference (log KAg,Hg(pot) < or = 2.1). The 19F NMR spectra of 9 and 9.AgClO4 were recorded for investigation the fluorine environments in the complex. The 19F NMR spectra strongly suggested that the fluorine atoms on ionophore 9 participated in ligation with silver cation.

CF2HCI在金属钨表面上的反应动力学

The unimolecular reaction of CF_2HCl on W filament has been studied. This reaction shows zero order at rather high pressure. The temperature threshold is about 440 ℃. The apparent activation energy of this reaction is 119.7 kJ mol~(-1) which is about a half of the activation energy for homogeneous unimolecular reaction of CF_2HCl, 233.5 kJ mol~(-1).     

Aerobic catalytic photooxidation of olefins by an electron-deficient Pacman bisiron(III) mu-oxo porphyrin

The synthesis and oxygen atom transfer (OAT) photoreactivity of a diiron(III) mu-oxo meso-tripentafluorophenyl bisporphyrin appended to a dibenzofuran spacer are presented. Reaction of 4,6-diformyldibenzofuran under standard Lindsey conditions furnishes the parent cofacial porphyrin architecture in a single step. These cofacial porphyrins photocatalyze the oxidation of sulfides and olefins using visible light and molecular oxygen as the terminal oxidant. High turnover numbers reflect the enhanced stability of the electron-deficient diiron(III) mu-oxo bisporphyrin core appended to a dibenzofuran spacer under aerobic conditions.
