NOUF6 Revisited: A Comprehensive Study of a Hexafluoridouranate(V) Salt

We have synthesized NOUF₆ by direct reaction of NO with UF₆ in anhydrous HF (aHF). Based on the unit cell volume and powder diffraction data, the compound was previously reported to be isotypic to O₂PtF₆, however, detailed structural data, such as the atom positions and all information that can be derived from those, were unavailable. We have therefore investigated the compound by using single‐crystal and powder X‐ray diffraction, IR, Raman, NMR, EPR, and photoluminescence spectroscopy, magnetic measurements, as well as chemical analysis, density determination, and quantum chemical calculations.     

Proton conduction in 1H‐1,2,3‐triazole polymers: Imidazole‐like or pyrazole‐like?

Proton transport (PT) plays an important role in many biological processes as well as in materials for renewable energy devices. Gaining insights into functional group requirements for PT would aid the design of new materials that provide enhanced proton conduction. In this report, we outline our efforts to understand the most probable proton conduction pathway in 1H‐1,2,3‐triazole systems. In triazole‐based systems, both imidazole‐ and pyrazole‐like pathways are possible. By systematically comparing structurally analogous polymers based on N‐heterocycles and benz‐N‐heterocycles, we find that the imidazole‐like pathway makes a significant contribution to the proton transfer in 1H‐1,2,3‐triazole systems, while the contribution from pyrazole‐like pathway is negligible. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A Mild and Chemoselective Dithioacetalization of Aldehydes in the Presence of Anhydrous Copper (II) Sulfate

Various aldehydes have been protected with different thiols as dithioacetals with excellent yields using anhydrous copper sulfate as a mild and chemoselective catalyst. The reaction is carried out in a solvent and/or under solvent-free conditions. The transthioacetalization of oxyacetals into dithioacetals was also achieved in an excellent yield.

无水烟酸锂的合成、结构表征及热化学性质

选择分析纯烟酸和一水氢氧化锂为反应物, 利用水热合成方法合成了无水烟酸锂. 利用FTIR和X射线粉末衍射等方法表征了它的结构. 用精密自动绝热热量计测定了它在78～400 K温区的低温热容, 将该温区的摩尔热容实验值用最小二乘法拟合, 得到热容随温度变化的多项式方程. 用此方程进行数值积分, 得到温区内每隔5 K的舒平热容值和相对于298.15 K时的各种热力学函数值. 在此基础上, 通过设计合理的热化学循环, 利用等温环境溶解-反应热量计分别测定该反应的反应物和生成物在所选溶剂中的溶解焓, 从而得到此反应的反应焓为: ＝－(20.21±0.41) kJ• mol－1. 最后, 依据Hess定律计算出无水烟酸锂的标准摩尔生成焓为: [Li(C6H4NO2), s]＝－(278.29±1.01) kJ•mol－1.     

NH4+交换度对 CuY催化剂上甲醇氧化羰基化反应性能的影响

碳酸二甲酯(DMC)是一种应用极其广泛的绿色化工产品,其中经济、绿色的甲醇氧化羰基化合成 DMC工艺极具工业前景,而 Y分子筛负载铜(CuY)是有效催化剂之一.众所周知, CuY催化剂上的 Cu+是催化活性中心. Cu+催化活性中心的引入方式用两种：(1) CuCl直接与 HY分子筛固相离子交换;(2) Cu2+与 NaY分子筛溶液离子交换,然后 Cu2+自还原生成活性中心 Cu+.在无溶剂条件下制备 CuY催化剂时,载体 HY分子筛中的可交换位 H+量是决定催化剂 CuY氧化羰基化催化性能的关键因素.文献通过以不同硅铝比的 HY分子筛为载体制备的催化剂 CuY,研究铜离子可交换位 H+量对氧化羰基化的影响,然而,硅铝比的不同也直接影响了分子筛骨架的组成、Si–O–Al的键角、甚至影响了 Al3+的分散度,这些因素都直接影响了 CuY催化剂活性.因此,研究 NaNH4Y分子筛载体中的可交换位(NH4+)的量与 CuY催化剂活性间的关系具有非常重要的意义.本文将 NaY分子筛与不同浓度的 NH4NO3溶液进行离子交换,制得具有不同 NH4+交换度的 NaNH4Y分子筛,以其为载体,以具有易升华、易分解性质的乙酰丙酮铜 Cu(acac)2为铜源,在无溶剂条件下,高温热处理二者固相混合物, NaNH4Y 分子筛中的 NH4+与 Cu(acac)2中的 Cu2+发生了离子交换, Cu2+进一步发生自还原生成活性中心 Cu+,成功地制备了完全无氯的 CuY催化剂,应用于催化常压甲醇氧化羰基化合成 DMC过程,研究 NaNH4Y分子筛中的铜离子可交换位 NH4+与催化剂 CuY催化性能间的关系.通过各种表征及对 CuY催化剂在甲醇氧化羰基化过程中催化活性分析发现, Y分子筛经过 NH4NO3溶液离子交换及催化剂的制备过程,其八面沸石结构和孔道保持良好.以未经过离子交换的 NaY负载的 CuY催化剂上的铜物种完全以 CuO形式存在,且没有催化活性.随着 NH4+交换度增加, CuY催化剂表面 CuO含量逐渐降低,而活性中心 Cu+含量逐渐增加,且其催化活性也随之增加.当 NH4+交换度趋于极限值时, CuY催化剂中 Cu+含量达最大,其催化活性也达最佳, DMC的时空收率和选择性分别为267.3 mg/(g·h)和68.5%,甲醇转化率为6.9%.因此,无溶剂条件下,以 NaNH4Y分子筛为载体, Cu(acac)2为铜源,制备完全无氯 CuY催化剂时, NH4+是形成 Cu+活性中心的必须条件,且 NH4+交换度直接影响催化剂 CuY的催化活性.     

Thermal and structural behavior of Buriti oil/poly(methyl methacrylate) and Buriti oil/polystyrene materials

Melting processes and thermal decompositions of [Ca(H₂O)₄](ClO₄)₂ and [Ca(NH₃)₆](ClO₄)₂ were studied by thermogravimetry analysis (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The gaseous products of the decomposition were on-line identified by a quadruple mass spectrometry (QMS). In both compounds the processes of loss of the ligands start at ca. 340–350 K and continue up to ca. 600 K. Tetraaquacalcium perchlorate dissolves in own coordination water (melts) at T _m=350 K. The decomposition of the sample proceeds in three main stages. In stage I (351–602 K) dehydration of [Ca(H₂O)₄](ClO₄)₂ to anhydrous Ca(ClO₄)₂ undergoes in two steps, in which consecutively 2/4 and 2/4 of all H₂O molecules are liberated. In stage II (602–701 K) anhydrous Ca(ClO₄)₂ has one solid-solid phase transition at T _c=619 K and then melts at T _m=689 K. Stage III (above 700 K) is connected with decomposition of melted Ca(ClO₄)₂ to oxygen and solid CaCl₂. The decomposition of the [Ca(NH₃)₆](ClO₄)₂ proceeds also in three main stages. In stage I (341–601 K) deamination of [Ca(NH₃)₆](ClO₄)₂ to Ca(ClO₄)₂ undergoes in two steps, in which consecutively 3/6 and 3/6 of all NH₃ molecules are liberated. Stages II and III (601–868 K) are exactly the same as they were observed for [Ca(H₂O)₄](ClO₄)₂.
