Activity evaluation of carbon paste electrodes loaded with pt nanoparticles prepared in different radiolytic conditions

Three Pt-based catalysts prepared in different radiolytic conditions and supported on graphite powder were packed into a carbon paste electrode configuration. They were compared to each other, to the commercial (Pt) deposited on activated carbon powder (Johnson Matthey) and to pure Vulcan XC-72 for their respective abilities toward the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The Tafel parameters were determined for all these electrodes. From the I–V curves and their quantitative treatment, the following order of activity emerged unambiguously and reads: (PtCO)₂ (fcc structure) > (PtCO)₁ (Chini cluster) > (Pt)_neat > (Pt)_JM (Johnson Matthey) ≫ (Vulcan XC-72). As expected, all the Pt-loaded electrodes were more efficient than Vulcan XC-72. The classification appears to be linked with the mean nanoparticle size, and for comparable sizes, with the surface morphology of the materials. The results and the stability of the electrodes suggest that the small particle sizes and the good dispersity on the carbon support were maintained during the HER.     

Synthesis in solid state, structural regularity and reaction mechanism for [VS_4-Cu_n] clusters

The reaction system (NH4)3VS4/CuCl/PPh3/Et4NBr afforded a series of [VS4-Cun] dusters with various core configurations in the solid state at low heating temperature. The structural regularity of [VS4-Cun] dusters and the influence of the CuCl:(NH4)3VS4 ratio as well as that of reaction temperature and time on the formation of duster core have been summarized. The reaction mechanism of forming V-Cu-S clusters has also been explored.

碳原子簇的结构与质谱的关联（Ⅱ）

根据出现在质谱中的各种大小的碳原子簇的相对丰度,分析了由激光产生的碳原子簇离子的统计分布,研究了这些统计分布与碳原子簇结构的关联。研究结果表明：相同构型的原子簇的相对丰度可以由同一条对数正态分布曲线来描述,由此能够获得碳原子簇构型的变化情况。质谱中分布曲线的数目对应于具有不同构型或不同结构稳定性的原子簇的数目。如果某些簇离子的谱峰明显地高出分布曲线,它们的结构应特别稳定,其成簇原子数就是所谓的“奇幻数”（ｍａｇｉｃｎｕｍｂｅｒ）,例如在石墨质谱中的Ｃ＿（６０）就属于这种情况。原子簇的统计分布还与它们的生成过程有关,由此可能揭示出原子簇的产生机理。     

氧化铽团簇的表面修饰及对其荧光特性影响的研究

采用脉冲激光轰击浸于流动相中的氧化铽固体靶，考察了流动相及其流速、脉冲激光输出功率、修饰剂、添加修饰剂顺序等对所获得的氧化铽有机溶胶荧光性能的影响。UV-Vis和荧光光谱的测试表明：以含有修饰剂的无水乙醇作为流动相，可得到良好荧光性能的氧化铽乙醇溶胶，而环己酮与醋酸乙酯均不适合作为该体系的流动相;最佳流速为0.15 mL·s^-1；脉冲激光输出功率大有利于其荧光性能；最佳修饰剂为乙酰丙酮(acac)和2，2′-联吡啶(2，2′-bipy)，且应原位修饰。

MODIFICATION OF TRANSITION METAL CATIONS TO POLYMER-STABILIZED PLATINUM COLLOIDAL CLUSTERS IN ENANTIOSELECTIVE HYDROGENATION OF METHYL PYRUVATE

Modification of transition metal cations to polymer-stabilized Pt colloidal clusters modified with cinchonidine was studied in enantioselective hydrogenation of methyl pyruvate. Compared to the enantiomeric excess (e.e.) value (71.4%) obtained without the presence of metal cations, obvious e.e. enhancement (up to 82.5%) was resulted from the addition of Zn^2 but with a certain decrease in activity. The reaction parameters in the presence of Zn^2 were also studied. It was found that the Pt colloidal catalysts in the presence of metal cations performed very differently from that in the absence of metal cations.     

Tetra- and hexaatomic cyclic clusters of main-group elements (XY)2 and (XY)3: an ab initio and density functional study

The electronic and molecular structure of planar (cyclic and linear) tetra- and hexaatomic clusters (XY) _n (XY = CC, BN, BeO, LiF; n = 2, 3) was studied using the ab initio CCD(full)/6-311+G** method and density functional approach (B3LYP/6-311+G**). The stability of cyclic clusters C₆, B₃N₃, and Be₃O₃ with D_3h symmetry is mainly determined by the aromaticity of their -electron systems.
