甲醇和甲氧基在Cu(111)表面吸附的第一性原理研究

Adsorption of methanol and methoxy at four selected sites(top,bridge,hcp,fcc)on Cu(111)surface has beeninvestigated by density functional theory method at the generalized gradient approximation(GGA)level.The cal-culation on adsorption energies,geometry and electronic structures,Mulliken charges,and vibrational frequenciesof CH_3OH and CH_3O on clean Cu(111)surface was performed with full-geometry optimization,and compared withthe experimental data.The obtained results are in agreement with available experimental data.The most favoriteadsorption site for methanol on Cu(111)surface is the top site,where C-O axis is tilted to the surface.Moreover,the preferred adsorption site for methoxy on Cu(111)surface is the fcc site,and it adsorbs in an upright geometrywith pseudo-C_(3v) local symmetry.Possible decomposition pathways also have been investigated by transition-statesearching methods.Methoxy radical,CH_3O,was found to be the decomposition intermediate.Methanol can be ad-sorbed on the surface with its oxygen atom directly on a Cu atom,and weakly chemisorbed on Cu(111)surface.Incontrast to methanol,methoxy is strongly chemisorbed to the surface.     

Synthesis of novel three‐arm star azo side‐chain liquid crystalline polymer via ATRP and photoinduced surface relief gratings

A three‐arm star azo side‐chain liquid crystalline (LC) homopolymer, poly[6‐(4‐methoxy‐4‐oxy‐azobenzene) hexyl methacrylate] (PMMAZO), was synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) method. The polymerization of 6‐(4‐methoxy‐4‐oxy‐azobenzene) hexyl methacrylate proceeded in a controlled/“living” way. A series of three‐arm star LC block copolymers (PMMAZO‐b‐PMMA) were also synthesized. The polymers were characterized by ¹H NMR, gel permeation chromatograph, and UV–vis spectra, respectively. The both polymers of PMMAZO and copolymers of PMMAZO‐b‐PMMA exhibited a smetic phase and a nematic phase. As concern to the PMMAZO, the glass‐transition temperature (T_g) and phase‐transition temperature from the smetic to nematic phase and from the nematic to isotropic phase increased with the increase of molecular weight (M_n(GPC)) of PMMAZO. The phase transition temperature of the block copolymers, PMMAZO‐b‐PMMA, with the same PMMA block was similar to that of PMMAZO. However, the T_g of the PMMAZO‐b‐PMMA decreased at low azo content and then increased with the increasing M_n(GPC) when azo content was above 61.3%. With illumination of linearly polarized Kr⁺ laser beam at modest intensities (35 mW/cm²), significant surface relief gratings formed on PMMAZO films with different molecular weights were observed. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Zinc (II), palladium (II) and cadmium (II) complexes containing 4‐methoxy‐N‐(pyridin‐2‐ylmethylene) aniline derivatives: Synthesis,characterization and methyl methacrylate polymerization

A series of Zn (II), Pd (II) and Cd (II) complexes, [(L) _n MX ₂ ] _m (L = L‐a–L‐c; M = Zn, Pd; X = Cl; M = Cd; X = Br; n, m = 1 or 2), containing 4‐methoxy‐N‐(pyridin‐2‐ylmethylene) aniline ( L‐a ), 4‐methoxy‐N‐(pyridin‐2‐ylmethyl) aniline ( L‐b ) and 4‐methoxy‐N‐methyl‐N‐(pyridin‐2‐ylmethyl) aniline ( L‐c ) have been synthesized and characterized. The X‐ray crystal structures of Pd (II) complexes [L ₁ PdCl ₂ ] (L = L‐b and L‐c) revealed distorted square planar geometries obtained via coordinative interaction of the nitrogen atoms of pyridine and amine moieties and two chloro ligands. The geometry around Zn (II) center in [(L‐a)ZnCl ₂ ] and [(L‐c)ZnCl ₂ ] can be best described as distorted tetrahedral, whereas [(L‐b) ₂ ZnCl ₂ ] and [(L‐b) ₂ CdBr ₂ ] achieved 6‐coordinated octahedral geometries around Zn and Cd centers through 2‐equivalent ligands, respectively. In addition, a dimeric [(L‐c)Cd(μ ‐ Br)Br] ₂ complex exhibited typical 5‐coordinated trigonal bipyramidal geometry around Cd center. The polymerization of methyl methacrylate in the presence of modified methylaluminoxane was evaluated by all the synthesized complexes at 60°C. Among these complexes, [(L‐b)PdCl ₂ ] showed the highest catalytic activity [3.80 × 10⁴ g poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/mol Pd hr^?1], yielding high molecular weight (9.12 × 10⁵ g mol^?1) PMMA. Syndio‐enriched PMMA (characterized using ¹H‐NMR spectroscopy) of about 0.68 was obtained with T_g in the range 120–128°C. Unlike imine and amine moieties, the introduction of N‐methyl moiety has an adverse effect on the catalytic activity, but the syndiotacticity remained unaffected.     

A New Abietane Diterpenoid from Plectranthus bishopianus Benth.

Chemical examination of the MeOH extract of Plectranthus bishopianus Benth ., a rare and endangered plant, resulted in isolation of a new abietane diterpene, 6β‐hydroxy‐7α‐methoxyroyleanone ( 1 ), along with two more diterpenoids, 6,7‐dehydroroyleanone, and 6β,7α‐dihydroxyroyleanone, a triterpene oleanolic acid, and two sterols, β‐sistosterol and stigmasterol. The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data and also by comparison with authentic samples.     

Micellization and controlled release properties of methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(D,L-lactide-co-trimethylene carbonate)

Amphiphilic block copolymers composed of D,L-lactide, trimethylene carbonate and the methoxy poly (ethylene glycol) (PETLA) were synthesized with ringopening copolymerization. Studies on the micellization and drug-controlled release behavior of PETLA were performed. Both of the copolymers and the micelles were characterized with the methods of ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H-NMR), fluorescence spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatographic (GPC), dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV). As a result, the critical micelle concentration of the copolymer was decreased with the increase of the hydrophobic chain length. DLS results indicated the diameters of the micelle were increased with increasing hydrophobic length. TEM photographs illustrated that micelles MT1 were regularly spherical with the diameter from 30 nm to 40 nm. Taking 9-nitro-20(S)-camptothecin (9-NC) for the model drug, the release profiles in vitro show that the release behavior from micelles was controllable and nearly in zero order after the initial burst release. __________ Translated from Acta Polymerica Sinica, 2008, 2 (in Chinese)

A DFT study of the chemisorption of methoxy on clean and low oxygen precovered Ru(0 0 0 1) surfaces

Adsorption of the methoxy radical on clean and on low oxygen precovered Ru(0 0 0 1) metallic surfaces has been studied by density-functional theory cluster calculations. Methoxy is predicted to be preferentially chemisorbed on both hollow sites (hcp and fcc) of such surfaces, and adopts an upright orientation (C_3ν local symmetry). Such prediction is supported by the good agreement found between the calculated vibrational frequencies and the experimentally observed RAIRS spectra. Regarding the charge transfer process between the adsorbate and the surface, our results suggest that the bonding is dominantly polar covalent which arises from a charge donation from the ruthenium surface to the radical, and the co-adsorbed electronegative oxygens deplete slightly the surface electron density. However, the major difference is not induced through much O-Ru bonding, but indirectly, by lowering the valence d-band center of the system. This results in a lower adsorption energy for methoxy than on the clean Ru(0 0 0 1) surface, in accordance with experimental data. Further, accordingly to the present calculations, the radical is expected to dissociate or desorb more easily on the modified surface but with no participation from the co-adsorbed oxygen atoms.     

Synthesis of pH‐sensitive surfactants by the terpolymerization of methacrylic acid,methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate,and lauryl methacrylate: Initiator effect and reactivity ratio study

For the development of pH‐sensitive surfactants to be used in water‐in‐oil fermentation, the free‐radical terpolymerization of methacrylic acid (MAA), methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (MPEGMA), and lauryl methacrylate (LMA), at a molar ratio of 1.0:0.04:0.76, was studied with two initiators, azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) and hydrogen peroxide, at different concentrations. The polymer synthesized with 0.45% AIBN as the initiator was the most promising, giving similar conversions of all three monomers throughout the 10‐h polymerization. The subsequent study on AIBN‐initiated systems indicated that MPEGMA caused an increase‐then‐decrease profile of the MAA conversion with a plateau around an ethylene glycol/MAA ratio of 1–2. This observation was fairly consistent with the well‐known type II template polymerization of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)–MAA systems. The reactivity ratios obtained in this study suggested that the polymer synthesized with AIBN as the initiator had a structure of alternating blocks of MAA and LMA, with isolated PEG grafts. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Density functional theory (DFT) investigation of the adsorption of the CH3OH/Au(100) system

The adsorption of methanol on flat Au (100) surface with different coverages (θ = 1.0, 0.5 and 0.25 monolayer (ML)) is studied using density functional theory. Among the three sites (top, bridge and hollow) and coverages investigated in the present work, no adsorption is stable for θ = 1.0 ML. The most energetically preferred site of adsorption for CH₃OH is found to be the hollow site for coverages of 0.25 ML and 0.50 ML. We also find that for all adsorption sites, an increase in CH₃OH coverage triggers a decrease in the adsorption energy. The geometric parameters, local density of states and work function changes are analysed in detail. The coadsorption of methoxy and hydrogen has also investigated. In addition, the dissociation of methanol on Au(100) has been studied, and an activation energy was found to be 1.72 eV. This result compare with existing data in the literature for Au(111) surface.
