H-ZSM-5分子筛催化二甲苯异构化的反应机理

采用密度泛函理论(DFT)和ONIOM方法, 研究了H-ZSM-5分子筛上二甲苯异构化机理. 描述了中间体物种和过渡态的结构. 反应物吸附和产物脱附对二甲苯异构化的反应趋势有重要影响. 反应活化能的计算结果表明, 在H-ZSM-5分子筛延伸的孔道结构中, 异构化反应沿着生成间二甲苯的方向进行. 但是较高的脱附能使生成的间二甲苯滞留在分子筛孔道中,其进一步异构化生成对二甲苯具有动力学优势. 对二甲苯产物在分子筛孔道的酸中心上可选择性生成. 在H-ZSM-5分子筛外表面, 不受延伸孔道结构的静电限制时, 二甲苯异构化生成间二甲苯产物, 其可以很容易从活性位上脱附. 非选择性异构化降低了对二甲苯的选择性. 因此, 对H-ZSM-5分子筛外表面改性能够抑制二甲苯的非选择性异构化, 因此限制了反应在分子筛孔道中进行, 提高了对二甲苯的选择性. 二甲苯异构化相对反应速率常数的计算结果也表明, 在分子筛外表面上, 生成间二甲苯的异构化反应速率较快. 升高反应温度会降低对二甲苯的选择性.     

Lewis base-catalyzed divergent isomerizations of 5-hydroxyl-2,3-dienoate

A divergent isomerization of 5-hydroxyl-2,3-dienoate 1 catalyzed by Lewis base has been developed, the phosphine catalyst leads to 5-oxohex-2(3)-enoates 2 while DABCO catalyst affords 3-ethoxy α,β-unsaturated lactone 3.     

Structure and isomerization of O,O-phenylene penta-coordinated phosphoryl serine

A stable penta-coordinated serine-carboxylic-phosphoric anhydride may be synthesized at temperatures below −18 °C. Above that temperature, the product was shown to isomerize to another penta-coordinated phosphorus compound, which was proven by the change in the magnitude of observed P–C coupling constants. The mechanism for the anhydride to ester isomerization might provide a clue to the proposal of high-energy supply for biochemistry. Organic bases were shown to exert little influence on the rate of isomerization.     

Synthesis of flavanones using nanocrystalline MgO

The design and development of a truly nano heterogeneous catalyst for the Claisen-Schmidt condensation (CSC) of benzaldehydes with 2-hydroxyacetophenone to yield substituted chalcones followed by isomerization to afford flavanones with excellent yields and selectivity is described.     

Selective isomerization of 1-alkenes by binary metal carbonyl compounds

An efficient and selective isomerization of 1-alkenes to their corresponding 2-alkenes is achieved by using binary metal carbonyls such as Ru₃(CO)₁₂ as catalysts. Possible mechanisms are discussed. Substituents on the 1-alkene have a significant effect on the isomerization.

Light-Controlled Destruction and Assembly: Switching between Two Differently Composed Cage-Type Complexes

We report on two regioisomeric, diazocine ligands 1 and 2 that can both be photoswitched between the E- and Z-configurations with violet and green light. The self-assembly of the four species ( 1 -Z, 1 -E, 2 -Z, 2 -E) with Co^II ions was investigated upon changing the coordination vectors as a function of the ligand configuration (E vs Z) and regioisomer ( 1 vs 2 ). With 1 -Z, Co₂( 1 -Z)₃ was self-assembled, while a mixture of ill-defined species (oligomers) was observed with 2 -Z. Upon photoswitching with 385 nm to the E configurations, the opposite was observed with 1 -E forming oligomers and 2 -E forming Co₂( 2 -E)₃. Light-controlled dis/assembly was demonstrated in a ligand competition experiment with sub-stoichiometric amounts of Co^II ions; alternating irradiation with violet and green light resulted in the reversible transformation between Co₂( 1 -Z)₃ and Co₂( 2 -E)₃ over multiple cycles without significant fatigue by photoswitching.     

Synthesis and Solution Structure of 1H‐Benzo‐1,5‐diazepine Derivatives with a Perfluoroalkyl Side Chain

The reaction of perfluorinated 3,5‐dioxoesters with 1,2‐diaminobenzenes or 2,3‐diaminonaphthalenes afforded two types of 1H‐benzo‐1,5‐diazepine derivatives containing a perfluorinated side chain. 2,5‐Dihydro‐1H‐benzo‐1,5‐diazepin‐2‐ones were formed by cyclocondensation via the central keto and the ester group, whereas 1H‐benzo‐1,5‐diazepines resulted from cyclocondensation via the two keto groups. The tautomerism and isomerization of these compounds have been investigated by ¹H‐, ¹³C‐, and ¹⁹F‐NMR spectroscopy. The 1,5‐diazepines appear in CDCl₃ solution as mixtures of two tautomeric forms, the enaminoimine I and diaminodiene II . In DMSO solution, besides I and II , two further species, III and IV , are formed by (E/Z) isomerization on the exocyclic C=C bond.     

Heterobimetallic [Ru(II)/Fe(II)] complexes: On the formation of trans- and cis-[RuCl2(dppf)(diimines)]

The synthesis and characterization of trans/cis-[RuCl₂(dppf)(diimines)], dppf = 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene; diimines = 2,2′-bipyridine (trans/cis-(1)), the new complexes with 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine (trans/cis-(2)) and 1,10-phenanthroline (cis-(3)) are presented. The complexes were synthesized using two routes and the trans/cis-isomer formation is dependent upon conditions and the precursor applied. The trans-isomer (kinetic) readily isomerizes to the cis-isomer (thermodynamic) when exposed to light (fluorescent) and this process was followed by cyclic voltammetry and UV-vis. The electrochemical studies on these complexes reveal that Fe^(III)/Fe^(II) couples are insensitive to the isomer (trans/cis) formed, but the Ru^(III)/Ru^(II) couples are dependent on the isomer. Transfer-hydrogenation reactions for reduction of acetophenone were conducted using complexes cis-(1) and cis-(2) and the results are compared with that obtained for similar complexes. X-ray structure for cis-(3) are presented and discussed.
