Preparation of apolar glass capillary columns by the barium carbonate procedure

As an extension of previous reports, the barium carbonate procedure has been optimized in detail for the preparation of apolar columns. The aim was to produce optimum overall column characteristics, and to maintain them unchanged under the prolonged influence of the highest possible temperature. The main parameters under optimization were glass variety, leaching of glass surface with aqueous HCl, and amount of barium carbonate deposited, while deactivation and coating were kept constant. The basic column characteristics were adsorption properties and thermostability of deactivation, acid/base behaviour and separation efficiency. They were determined by a new, quantitative testing procedure. Intense leaching was able to eliminate almost totally the differences between glass varieties and to create a well-defined glass surface. While untreated glass, leached glass, and barium carbonate treated glass showed specific weak points in the respective column quality, the combination of leaching and barium carbonate treatment yielded the highest and most stable quality. Some technical modifications of the preparation procedure are described, including deactivation in the gas phase, and use of pentane as a solvent for static coating.

Syntheses,structures and electrochemical properties of ruthenium(II/III) complexes with tetradentate Schiff base ligands

Three unsymmetrical tetradentate Schiff base ligands, H₂salipn, H₂salipn-Br₄ and H₂salipn-Cl₂, have been synthesized from the typical condensation reactions of treating 1,2-diaminopropane with salicylaldehyde, 3,5-dibromosalicylaldehyde and 5-chlorosalicylaldehyde, respectively. Treatment of [RuCl₂(PPh₃)₃] with one equivalent of H₂salipn or H₂salipn-Br₄ in the presence of triethylamine in tetrahydrofuran (THF) afforded the corresponding ruthenium(III) complexes [Ru^IIICl(PPh₃)(salipn)] (1) and [Ru^IIICl(PPh₃)(salipn-Br₄)] (2). Interaction of [RuHCl(CO)(PPh₃)₃] with one equivalent of H₂salipn-Cl₂ or H₂salipn-Br₄ under the same conditions led to isolation of ruthenium(II) complexes [Ru^II(CO)(PPh₃)(salalipn-Cl₂)] (3) and [Ru^II(CO)(PPh₃)(salalipn-Br₄)] (4), respectively, in which one of the imine bonds was nucleophilically attacked by hydride to result in the formation of a mixed imine-amine ligand. The molecular structures of 1?1.5CH₂Cl₂, 2, 3?0.5CH₂Cl₂ and 4 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The electrochemical properties of 1–4 were also investigated. Their cyclic voltammograms displayed quasi-reversible Ru(IV)/Ru(III) and Ru(III)/Ru(II) couples with E^o ranging from 0.67 to 1.05 V and 0.74 to 0.80 V vs. Ag/AgCl (0.1 M), respectively.     

苯甲醛缩三乙烯四胺Schiff碱Co(Ⅱ)配合物固相合成及氧合性能研究

Three new cobalt complexes were synthesized by solid-state reaction at room temperature. It was found that one mole of complex reacted with two moles of oxygen at room temperature. And the oxygenated complexes [Co·(L₁)₂·2O₂](NO₃)₂·2H₂O (L₁=N,N′-bis(4-hydroxyl-3-methoxy-benzyl)-triethylenetetramine), [Co·(L₂)₂·2O₂](NO₃)₂ ·2H₂O (L₂=N,N′-bis(4-hydroxyl-benzyl)-triethylenetetramine) and [Co·L₃·2O₂](NO₃)₂·2H₂O (L₃=N,N′-bis(2-hydroxyl-benzyl)-triethylenetetramine) were obtained and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, ¹H NMR, TG/DTA, UV-Vis and molar conductance. The coordinated oxygen contents in the oxygenated complex were also determined by weight method. It was found that one O₂ molecule coordinated to the Co ion and formed superoxo type oxygenated complex.     

Study on EPR Spectra of Three Gadolinium Complexes With Noncyclic Polyether Schiff Bases

The EPR spectra of three new gadolinium complexes with noncyclic polyether Schiff bases in powder and those of these complexes in organic solvents were investigated at different temperatures. It was observed that EPR spectra of nine and four peaks of Gd(Ⅲ) complexes in polycrystalline powder and freezing samples appeared at low temperature respectively for the first time. The interpretations of these results obtained on the basis of spin Hamiltonian of s = 7/2 system are satisfactory. The correlations of EPR feature between crystal-field strength in complexes and local symmetry around Gd3+ ions were revealed. The crystal-field parameters b20 and the asymmetry parameters λ' of complexes were estimated. A series of interesting regularity and new results were obtained.

Simulation of a Combined Isomerization Reactor & Pressure Swing Adsorption Unit

The Total Isomerization Process developed by Union Carbide in 1970 (Gary, 1987) for the conversion of normal paraffin's to their isomers consists of a reactor followed by a PSA unit each operating at similar pressures and temperatures. The combination of these two operations in one unit in a Pressure Swing Adsorption Reactor (PSAR) process may provide an increased throughput and a significant cost saving in ancillary equipment.The simulation of a mathematical model linking the catalyst packed-bed and the adsorbent packed-bed is reported. The catalyst is a Pd/Y-zeolite and the adsorbent is 5A zeolite. The simulated feed consists of 17% each of n- and isopentane with the remainder being hydrogen. The mathematical model assumes dispersed plug-flow in both sections, constant velocity in the reactor section but varying in the adsorber, with mass transfer in the adsorber section due to external fluid film resistance and macropore diffusion in series. The fraction of the total column length occupied by the catalyst (denoted by ) is accounted for in the model by solving numerically using orthogonal collocation on finite elements. Parameters varied are the ratio of catalyst/column length (), temperature range (506–533 K), high pressure (15–20 bars), with the low pressure held constant at 2 bars. The catalyst/column ratio has a strong effect at low temperatures. The optimum catalyst/column length ratio appears to be controlled by the low pressure step and occurs at = 0.7 for the assumptions used in this work.
