Density functional study of HO(H2O)n (n = 1–3) clusters

The hydrogen bonding complexes HO(H₂O)_n (n = 1–3) were completely investigated in the present study using DFT and MP2 methods at varied basis set levels from 6‐31++G(d,p) to 6‐311++G(2d,2p). For n = 1 two, for n = 2 two, and for n = 3 five reasonable geometries are considered. The optimized geometric parameters and interaction energies for various complexes at different levels are estimated. The infrared spectrum frequencies and IR intensities of the most stable structures are reported. Finally, thermochemistry studies are also carried out. The results indicate that the formation and the number of hydrogen bonding have played an important role in the structures and relative stabilities of different complexes. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

MoCo/Y, MoNi/Y氮化物催化剂的结构和CH4+CO2重整反应性能

采用氨气还原法制备了NaY分子筛负载的MoCo/Y、MoNi／Y双组氮化物催化剂，用XRD和EXAFS方法征了样品的结构，并测定了其在CH4＋CO2重整反应中的活性，在氧化态时，MoCo/Y样品中主要存在CoMoO4和Co3O4两种物相，Mo的配位状态接近于CoMoO4，而Co的配位状态更接近于Co3O4，MoNi／Y样品中主要有NiMoO4和NiO两种物相，Mo的配位状态接近于MiMoO4，而Ni的配位状态可能是NiMoO4和NiO两种化合物中Ni配位状态的平均效果，Ni-Mo之间的朴素作用似乎比Co-Mo相对较强，在氮化态时，两种样品中Mo的配位状态较为相似，但即不同于MoO3，也不同于单组分γ－Mo2N.Co和Ni的配位状态都不同于各在氧化态下的状态，且都在相同的位置出现一个新强峰，这似乎表明MoCo和MoNi生成了结构相似的氮化物，在CH4＋CO2重整反应中，氮化态MoCO/Y和MoNi/Y的活性大大超过非负载单组分γ－Mo2N催化剂，其中MoNi/Y的活性相对更好一些，且活性随Ni含量增加而提高。     

A Theoretical Study on the Conductivity of Carbon Doped BNNT

From the changes in energy band, density of state (DOS) and electronic structure calculated by the DFT/B3LYP method, the conductivity of carbon doped boron‐nitride nanotube (BNNT), which is formed by C‐C bond substituting B‐N bond, was discussed. The results indicate that the substitution will strengthen the conductivity of the tube, and its semi‐conductivity might be adjusted by controlling the substitution.     

Study on Extraction Process of Root of Henry Wood Betony Polysaccharides and Their Antitumor Activity against S180

We optimized the hot water extraction of polysaccharides from the root of Henry wood betony (RHWPs) using a uniform test and explored their anti-tumor activities in vitro and in vivo. The optimal extraction conditions were as follows: 40 min extraction time, liquid/solid ratio 30 mL/g, 100 min soaking time, two extraction cycles, 100% ethanol concentration, and extraction temperature of 80 °C. The molecular weight distribution of RHWPs with MWs was 228,600 g/mol and 5001 g/mol. The IR spectrum further indicated that RHWPs are acidic polysaccharides containing pyranose and furan rings. The main monosaccharides found in RHWPs were mannose, ribose, l-rhamnose monohydrate, glucuronic acid, galacturonic acid, glucose, galactose, xylose, arabinose, and fucose. RHWPs inhibited the proliferation of S180 tumor cells and induced apoptosis in vitro. Oral administration of RHWPs to tumor-bearing mice significantly inhibited the growth of the S180 xenografts, accelerated apoptosis in tumor cells, and expanded the necrotic regions. Furthermore, RHWPs also markedly increased the levels of TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-2 in the sera of tumor-bearing mice, and activated immune cells such as lymphocytes, NK cells, and macrophages, thereby inducing tumor cell apoptosis. Taken together, RHWPs are a promising anti-tumor agent that ought to be explored further.     

Synthesis and Characterization of 1,8-bis(ferrocenylmethyl)-5,5,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane, a Macrocyclic Ligand and its Complexes

A new diferrocenyl-substituted macrocyclic ligand (H₂L) and its complexes ML(M = Cu^II, Ni^II, Zn^II, Cd^II) were prepared and characterized by IR, elemental analysis, absorption spectra and FAB mass spectra. The ferrocenyl-substituted macrocyclic ligand was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The superconjugative effect of the cyclopentadienyl (CP) rings increase the activity of the hydrogen atoms in the tetra-azacyclotetradecane macrocyclic ligand. The imine nitrogen atoms lose two protons and coordinate to the metal. The electrochemical properties of these compounds are discussed.     

Boron implantation in Si: Channeling effects studied by SIMS and simulation

The axial channeling behaviour of boron implants in <100>, <110> and <111> silicon wafers is investigated by SIMS. Large differences of channeling characteristics such as channeled projected range (the projected range of channeled ions or channeling peak) and the fraction of channeled to implanted ions are observed among the three major crystal orientations. Within the critical angle, the channeling behaviour is very sensitive to the incidence beam angle with respect to crystal orientations. SIMS measurements are performed at different positions along several critical directions over a whole wafer. Well channeled profiles with an incidence beam angle to crystal orientations of 0 ° are obtained for each ion implantation energy and orientation. The results are used to test various models of ion implantation by simulation. A 3-parameter model for electronic stopping power of boron in silicon was proposed.     

Structure-direct assembly of hexagonal pencil-like ZnO group whiskers

Hexagonal ZnO group whiskers synthesized from Zn(NH₃)₄²⁺ precursor at 145°C in a structure-directing template solvent (2.5% v/v alcohol) show strong photoluminescence at 409 and 420 nm. FE-SEM and TEM observation reveals that the ZnO group whiskers consist of uniform pencil-like whiskers with the diameter of around 1.5 μm and the length of up to 6 μm.

SAPO—11分子筛用i—Pr2NH导向合成及其酸性研究

以ＡｌＰＯ４、Ｈ３ＰＯ４、ＳｉＯ２等为原料采用单一模板剂ｉＰｒ２ＮＨ合成了ＳＡＰＯ１１分子筛，利用Ａｖｒａｍｉ方程等对合成过程进行了定量描述。还利用红外（ＩＲ）、程序升温脱附（ＴＰＤ）、线性丁烯骨架异构反应催化活性测试等手段表征了ＳＡＰＯ１１的酸性。结果表明，合成过程随温度有明显变化，晶化阶段的活化能远高于核化阶段的值。可用Ａｖｒａｍｉ方程的参数来表征合成过程的难易程度。分子筛中存在Ｂ酸和Ｌ酸位，主要在中等强度范围，从而对线性丁烯骨架异构反应有较好的催化活性。提高分子筛中硅含量可明显增大酸位浓度，酸强度也有轻度增强。
