Mixing of electronic states in molybdenum complexes involved in nitrogen activation

The mechanism for nitrogen activation by molybdenum complexes is a complicated one, involving as it does the coupling of a quartet molybdenum reactant with a singlet nitrogen molecule, passing via a series of quartet and doublet encounter complexes to a triplet intermediate, with the subsequent spin crossing to the singlet surface which then leads via a singlet transition state to the final pair of singlet products. We have investigated in detail a variety of levels of theory to describe the crossing of these electronic surfaces and have calculated both lower-bound and actual minimum energy crossing points for the key spin inversion processes.     

Variational transition state theory without the minimum-energy path

In this paper we propose a method for carrying out variational transition state theory calculations without first obtaining a converged minimum-energy path (MEP). We illustrate the method in two ways, first of all by employing an unconverged MEP and secondly by using a dynamically optimized distinguished reaction path. Preliminary tests of the algorithm for the reactions OH+H₂→H₂O+H and C₂H₅→C₂H₄+H are very encouraging. Received: 22 January 1997 / Accepted: 11 March 1997     

钒氧阴离子团簇与小分子碳氢化合物反应的实验和理论研究

为了在分子层次上揭示相关催化反应的机理, 人们对过渡金属氧化物团簇与碳氢化合物分子反应进行了大量研究. 相比于过渡金属氧化物团簇阳离子, 阴离子对一些碳氢化合物的活性弱得多, 因此研究还很少. 在本工作中, 我们通过激光溅射产生钒氧团簇阴离子VxOy, 产生的团簇在接近热碰撞条件下与烷烃(C2H6和C4H10)以及烯烃(C2H4和C3H6) 在一个快速流动反应管中进行反应, 飞行时间质谱用来检测反应前后的团簇分布. 在VxOy与烷烃的反应中, 生成了产物V2O6H-和V4O11H-; 在与烯烃的反应中, 产生了相应的吸附产物V4O11X-(X=C2H4或C3H6). 密度泛函理论计算表明: V2O-6和V4O-11可以活化烷烃(C2H6和C4H10)的C—H键, 也可以与烯烃(C2H4和C3H6)发生3+2环化加成反应形成一个五元环结构(-V-O-C-C-O-), C—H键活化与环加成反应都需经历可以克服的反应能垒. 理论计算与实验观测结果相符合. V2O-6和V4O-11团簇都具有氧原子自由基(O·或O-)的成键特征, 活性O-物种也经常出现在钒氧催化剂表面, 因而本研究在分子水平上, 揭示了表面活性氧物种与碳氢化合物反应的机理.     

Diels—Alder reaction. Effect of internal and external factors on the reactivity of diene—dienophile systems

The key factors influencing the Diels—Alder reaction rate at ambient and elevated pressures were elucidated using data on the reactivity of various diene—dienophile systems in usual and Lewis acid-catalyzed Diels—Alder reactions, the reaction enthalpy, complex formation, dissolution, and solvation, and the donor-acceptor properties of the reactants. It was found that taking account of both the orbital interaction energy and the balance of bond rupture and formation energies allows correct prediction of the reaction rate in the absence or in the presence of Lewis acids.

Using ordinary differential equations system to solve isoconversional problems in non-isothermal kinetic analysis

The mathematical evaluation of the activation energy, E, of non-isothermal degradation reactions is usually made using the Ozawa/Flynn–Wall isoconversion principle and involves the numerical resolution of a set of integrals without closed form solution, which are solved by polynomial approximation or by numeric integration. In the present work, the isoconversion principle, originally described and maintained until now as an algebraic problem, was written as a set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The individual ODEs obtained are integrated by numeric methods and are used to estimate the activation energy of simulated examples. A least square error (LSE) objective function using the introduced ODEs was written to deal with multiple heating rate CaCO₃ thermal decomposition TG experiments.     

PbO~2纳米粉体的固相合成及其对MnO~2电极材料的改性作用

利用固相氧化反应制备了PbO~2纳米粉体样品，借助XRD，TEM以及循环伏安测试对其性质进行了表征。同时，对反应条件的选择进行了讨论。将所得样品用于改性MnO~2电极，恒流放电测试结果表明，样品掺杂量在1.25%～5.00%间对MnO~2有良好的改性效果，可使改性MnO~2的放电容量得到极大提高。循环伏安测试结果表明，铅的掺入改变了MnO~2的放电机理。在循环扫描过程中，掺杂物与MnO~2均不再以单纯氧化物的形式存在，而是形成了一系列Pb(X)(X=0,Ⅱ)Mn(Y)(Y=Ⅳ，Ⅲ，Ⅱ)复合物的共氧化与共还原，抑制了电化学惰性物质Mn~3O~4的生成和积累，从而有望改善MnO~2的可充性能。纳米PbO~2与常粒径PbO~2与常粒径PbO~2(标记为S)对MnO~2的改性机理类似。但前者对MnO~2的改性效果明显优于后者，当恒流放电至-1.0V时，其放电容量较S样改性MnO~2的放电容量平均高出约30%。     

An attempt on the VOC oxidation using mechanically activated catalyst

A catalytic action of the mechanochemical products of copper hydroxocarbonate with calcium carbonate was investigated in n-butyl alcohol oxidation tests. The solid products of high-energy milling were identified using thermogravimetry supplemented by X-ray diffraction method. It was shown that the mechanical activation induces more effective tested catalyst because it promotes the alcohol conversion at lower temperatures than that unmilled one.
