计算化学在正丁醚制备实验教学中的应用*

正丁醚的制备是重要的大学有机化学实验,为提高学生对该实验所涉及的反应机理和关键操作要点的深入了解,采用Gaussian计算软件对正丁醇在酸催化下和无催化剂下的反应体系进行了研究,重点考察了酸催化下反应的主、副反应方向的反应机理。结果表明无催化剂下,正丁醇在常压液相下几乎不能发生反应;在酸催化下,正丁醇发生取代反应生成醚的反应路径是优势反应通道;酸催化下正丁醇的取代和消除反应速率常数均随温度增加而迅速增大,但消除反应的反应速率随温度增加更快,温度超过420 K消除反应将变得很明显,综合考虑,制备正丁醚的反应温度应控制在130~140 ℃之间较为合适。利用计算化学以图、表和动图等形式直观、动态、量化地解释了正丁醇成醚和成烯反应的竞争,该结果有助于更好地控制该反应体系,可用作实验教材的补充内容。

对于井下CO₂对碳钢腐蚀严重的问题,提出以亚油酸和四乙烯五胺（TEP）为反应性单体合成产率高达98.34%的高效咪唑啉缓蚀剂（GIM）,结构经IR确证。并采用静态失重法和电化学方法评价了缓蚀剂对J55钢片在含有饱和CO₂的3.5% NaCl溶液中的缓蚀性能。结果表明：50 ℃下,未添加缓蚀剂的钢片的腐蚀速率为0.4561 mm/a;当缓蚀剂浓度达到10×10^-4 mol/L时,钢片的腐蚀速率降低到0.04017 mm/a,缓蚀剂的加入降低了对J55钢片的腐蚀速率,缓蚀效率高达90%以上。电化学实验结果表明：缓蚀剂的加入能够显著降低其腐蚀电流密度,从而有效减缓金属表面的电化学反应的进行。     

Mdm2生成速率调控的p53-Mdm2振子的全局动力学和稳定性

肿瘤抑制蛋白p53的动力学在一定程度上可以决定DNA损伤后的细胞命运.p53的动力学行为与p53信号通路中p53-Mdm2振子模块密切相关.然而,p53的负调控子Mdm2的生成速率的增加使其在一些癌细胞中过表达.因此探讨Mdm2生成速率对p53动力学的影响有重要意义.同时,PDCD5作为p53的激活子也调控p53的表达.因此,本文针对PDCD5调控的p53-Mdm2振子模型,通过分岔分析获得了Mdm2生成速率所调控的p53的单稳态、振荡以及单稳态与振荡共存的动力学行为,且稳定性通过能量面进行了分析.此外,噪声强度对p53动力学的稳定性有重要的影响.因此,针对p53的振荡行为,探讨了噪声强度对势垒高度和周期的影响.本文所获得的结果对理解DNA损伤后的p53信号通路调控起到一定的指导作用.     

冷却速率对Lennard-Jones体系凝固过程中结构与动力学性质的影响

用分子动力学模拟方法研究了五种不同冷却速率对Lennard-Jones体系凝固过程中结构与动力学性质的影响。采用两种不同的方法来确定玻璃转变温度Tg,并且对结晶温度Tc、径向分布函数g(r)、均方位移函数MSD与扩散系数D、平均配位数进行比较分析。结果表明：冷却速率影响Lennard-Jones体系凝固过程中的结构。当使用足够高的冷却速率冷却时,体系发生玻璃化转变,而且冷却速率越快,玻璃转变温度越高;当冷却速率较小时,体系形成晶体,而且冷却速率越慢,结晶温度越高,结晶程度也越高。同时发现,冷却速率对扩散系数和平均配位数也有很大影响,二者在体系发生玻璃转变时都有一个缓变的过程,表明了过冷液相区的存在。

增强型地热系统(EGS)旨在经济开采地下3~10 km区域干热岩蕴含的热能,并用于地面发电。EGS经济性与其采热性能直接关联,人工热储内热交换过程是需要重点研究的内容。热储内裂隙形貌及分布对采热过程有重大影响。基于热储裂隙开度和长度的分形特征,本文建立起EGS分形分叉网络模型,推导出EGS采热速率表达式。分析发现泵功、裂隙最大开度、扭曲率分形维数、裂隙开度分布分形维数、裂隙分叉网络级数及裂隙长度都是影响EGS采热速率的重要因素。     

The promoting role of minor amount of water in solvent-free hydrogenation of halogenated nitrobenzenes

This study shows that minor amount of water plays a very important role in solvent-free hydrogenation of halogenated nitrobenzenes. For dried sponge Pd, the reaction cannot occur in the absence of water. For Pd/C catalyst, minor amount of water reduces the induction time, increases the reaction rate and reaction TOFs. Water might enhance the diffusion, adsorption and dissociation of H2 on Pd catalysts.     

Influence of Gd doping on the absolute quantum efficiency and lifetime of EuxGd1-x（TTA）3phens

Absolute quantum yield （Ф） is one of the most important parameters to evaluate the potential of novel materials. Lanthanide complexes EuxGd1-x（TTA）3phens are synthesized with the ratio of Gd3＋ dopant concentration ranging from 10% to 90% to improve the absolute quantum yield. EuxGd1-x（TTA）3phens possess similar infrared and ultraviolet spectra, showing that they have similar molecular structures. The absolute emission quantum yields of EuxGd1-x（TTA）3phens are determined using a fluoromax-4 spectrofluorometer equipped with an integrating sphere. The fluorescence lifetimes of the EuxGd1-x（TTA）3phens are measured in the same experiment. It was found that both absolute quantum yields and fluorescence lifetimes of EuxGd1-x（TTA）3phens are of quasi-periodic variation with the change of the Gd3. dopant concentrations. The absolute quantum efficiency and fluorescence lifetime vary with respect to the Gd content in an opposite fashion, indicating that the rate of energy absorption by the EuxGd1-x（TTA）3phens and the conversion to light energy is critical for the absolute quantum efficiency. The radiative rate constant Kr and non-radiative rate constant Knr are calculated. The dependence of Kr and Knr on the Gd3＋ dopant concentrations is very similar to that of absolute quantum efficiency. The radiation rate constant Kr and absolute quantum efficiency have a linear relationship.     

The effects of ultrasound frequency and power on the activation energy in Si-KOH reaction system

The activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required to initiate a reaction. It is one of the important indexes for appraising a reaction. The chemical reaction rate is closely related to the value of activation energy, and reducing activation energy is propitious to promoting a chemical reaction. In the present paper, the relationship between the activation energy in Si-KOH reaction system and the ultrasound frequency and power has been discussed for the first time. The range of ultrasound frequency and power is 40-100kHz （interval by 20kHz） and 10-50W （interval by 10W）, respectively. The experimental clata indicate that the activation energy decreases with the increasing ultrasound power. Comparing with the activation energy without ultrasound irradiation, the results in our paper indicate that ultrasound irradiation could reduce the activation energy in Si-KOH reaction system and increase the reaction rate.     

How polydispersity of network polymers influences strain-induced crystal nucleation in a rubber

Network polymers in a rubber or a gel often contain non-uniform chain lengths. By means of dynamic Monte Carlo simulations of polymer mixtures with various compositions of two chain lengths, we investigated how the factor of polydispersity influences their strain-induced crystal nucleation. Under a high temperature and a high strain rate, the stretching of both polymers revealed that crystal nucleation is mainly accelerated by the presence of short-chain polymers; nevertheless, both polymers join together in the nucleation process. Further analysis proved that crystal nucleation is initiated from those highly stretched short segments, which are rich on the short-chain polymers.     

基于FeWOx/SiO2载氧体的甲烷化学链部分氧化反应

甲烷具有价格低廉且储量丰富的优点,因此将甲烷转化为合成气(一种H2:CO为2的混合物),从而进一步合成有价值的化学品和液体燃料引起了人们的极大关注.化学链甲烷部分氧化(CLPOM)技术能避免甲烷与空气直接接触而引起爆炸的危险,可以降低后续对合成气与氮气分离操作所带来的费用,因此日益受到关注.CLOPM过程主要分为两步:第一步,CH4被载氧体所携带的氧部分氧化,载氧体被还原;第二步,利用氧化剂(例如空气)将被还原的载氧体再氧化恢复.因此,载氧体在CLOPM过程中起到至关重要的作用.载氧体的选择主要存在两个问题:(1)甲烷被活化所产生含碳产物的能力与晶格氧的给氧能力不匹配所带来的严重碳沉积;(2)金属离子间扩散速率不匹配而造成载氧体在氧化还原过程中结构的不可逆变化.基于上述两个问题,本文设计了FeWOx/SiO2载氧体用于CLPOM.与未改性的WO3/SiO2载氧体相比,甲烷的转化率和合成气的收率都有显著提高.FeWOx/SiO2在900℃、1 atm反应条件下表现出62%的甲烷转化率、93%的CO气相选择性、94%的H2选择性和2.4的H2/CO比值,同时在50个循环中表现出优异的催化活性和稳定性.本工作利用CH4脉冲反应研究了FeWOx/SiO2的甲烷表面反应过程;采用CH4-TPR和H2-TPR相结合探究了甲烷活化速率与晶格氧扩散速率之间的关系;通过XPS和XRD对FeWOx/SiO2在氧化还原过程中的结构稳定性进行了探讨.综合上述实验结果,对FeWOx/SiO2应用于CLPOM的反应机理进行了阐述.H2-TPR结果表明,在FeWOx/SiO2中,相较于Fe2O3/SiO2,Fe-O的活性受到抑制,使其更倾向于与甲烷发生部分氧化反应;相较于WO3/SiO2,W-O的活性得到明显提升,因此更多的晶格氧可以参与到部分氧化反应中来氧化积碳,从而使合成气收率大幅度提升.从CH4-TPR结果可以看出,对于FeWOx/SiO2,CO与H2的生成温度最接近,意味着晶格氧的传输速率较快并且能够与甲烷活化产生含碳中间物种的速率相匹配,将其及时氧化生成CO,避免由于积碳造成的催化剂失活.结合XPS和XRD结果可以得出,在甲烷还原过程中,FeWOx经历一步还原形成Fe-W合金,由于其间存在强相互作用,因而抑制了还原过程中催化剂相分离现象的发生.同时,根据铁钨离子在空气条件下扩散速率的公式计算可以得出,其相近的离子氧化速率也保证了在氧化过程中催化剂结构的稳定性.本工作为进一步构建用于甲烷化学链部分氧化制合成气的复合金属氧化物载氧体提供了研究思路.
