Immobilization of nickel ions onto the magnetic nanocomposite based on cross‐linked melamine groups: Effective heterogeneous catalyst for N‐Arylation of Arylboronic acids

A new magnetic heterogeneous catalyst was synthesized by immobilization of nickel ions onto a cross‐linked polymeric nanocomposite composed of cyanuric chloride, ethylenediamine and functionalized magnetic nanoparticles. The resulting nitrogen rich support was capable of adsorbing large amounts of nickel ions (1.20 mmol g^?1). The synthesized catalyst was characterized using AAS, TEM, FT‐IR, EDX, TGA, SEM, BET and XRD techniques. The performance of the prepared catalyst was investigated in the C‐N coupling of arylamines with aryl boronic acids. The reaction was carried out under a mild condition and good to moderate to good yields of products was obtained using only 5.0 mol% of the catalyst. The catalyst was easily recovered and reused for at least 7 times without any significant loss of its activity.     

Recyclable and reusable NiCl2(PPh3)2/CuI/PEG‐400/H2O system for the sonogashira coupling reaction of aryl iodides with alkynes

A stable and highly efficient NiCl2(PPh₃)₂/CuI/PEG‐400/H₂O catalytic system for the Sonogashira reaction has been developed. In the presence of NiCl₂(PPh₃)₂ and CuI, the coupling reaction of aryl iodides with terminal alkynes was carried out smoothly in a mixture of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG‐400) and water at 100°C with K₂CO₃ as base to afford a variety of arylacetylenes in good to excellent yields. The isolation of the products was readily performed by extraction with petroleum ether, and the NiCl₂(PPh₃)₂/CuI/PEG‐400/H₂O system could be easily recycled and reused six times without significant loss of catalytic activity. Our system not only avoids the use of easily volatile organic solvents but also solves the basic problem of catalyst reuse. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The First Example of Inorganic-organic Compound Involving the Largest Vanadium Cluster of [V_(34)O_(82)]~(10-): Hydrothermal Synthesis and Characterization of a One-dimensional Chain of {[NiC_(16)H_(36)N_4]_5[V_(34)O_(82)]}_n

The title compound, [NiL]5[V34O82·8H2O (1, L=5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane), has been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and structurally characterized by EA, IR, XPS, TG and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group C2/c with a=33.061(4), b=15.3457(17), c=33.902(4), β=101.930(2)°, Mr=4904.08, V=16828(3)3 , Z=4, Dc=1.936 g/cm3 , F(000)=9832, μ=2.425 mm-1 , the final R=0.0402 and wR=0.0969. The mixed valence vanadium clusters of [V34O82]10- bridges [NiL]2+ to form a one-dimensional chain in 1. To the best of our knowledge, the title complex is the first example of organic-inorganic hybrid material involving the largest vanadium cluster of [V34O82]10-.     

Vinyl polymerization of norbornene catalyzed by a new bis(β‐ketoamino)nickel(II) complex–methylaluminoxane system

A new β‐ketoimine ligand was prepared through traditional condensation of 2‐acetylcyclohexanone with 1‐naphthylamine. Consequently, the new moisture‐ and air‐stable bis(β‐ketoamino)nickel(II) complex Ni[2‐CH₃C(O)C₆H₈(NAr)]₂ (Ar = naphthyl) was synthesized and characterized. The solid‐state structures of the ligand and complex have been determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Additionally, the new complex is a highly active catalyst precursor for polymerization of norbornene in combination with methylaluminoxane. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

镀层微观结构对凝结换热的影响

通过研究Ni-P化学镀层管不同微观结构对凝结传热的影响,表明用化学镀表面改性的镀管相对于普通的碳钢管,具有明显促进珠状凝结的效果,在凝结过程中表现为珠膜共存状态,可以获得较好的换热性能。同时镀层对换热性能的改善与镀层中纳米相的含量相关,随着纳米相含量的降低,镀层的表面能也随着降低,换热效率得到增强。增加镀层的非晶度可以获得更好的珠状凝结的效果。     

Fast and clean dechlorination of alkyl and aryl (poly)chlorides catalysed by bimetallic Ni–Al clusters in the presence of t‐BuOH

The dechlorination of alkyl and aryl (poly)chlorides is rapid and complete upon treatment with a new reduction system consisting of NaH as reagent, Ni–Al clusters as catalyst and t‐BuOH as catalytic co‐factor. The high efficiency of this combination is presumed to be due to the stabilization of the subnanometre nickel particles formed during reduction by the in‐situ‐generated alkoxide.
