2,5-Dimethylthiophene coordination to three metal centers in the complexes (η4, S-μ3-2,5-Me2T)(IrCp*) [M(CO)2Cp]2 where MMo or W

The 2,5-dimethylthiophene (2,5-Me₂T) ligand in the isomers Cp*Ir(η⁴-2,5-Me₂T) (1) and Cp*Ir(C,S-2,5-Me₂T) (2) is activated to react with the dimers Cp(CO)₂M?M(CO)₂Cp[M?Mo (3), W (4)] to give complexes (5,6) in which the thiophene is coordinated to three metals. Oxidation of 5 with Cp₂Fe⁺ removes the Mo dimer to give Cp*Ir(η⁵-2,5-Me₂T)²⁺. Reaction of 5 with CO displaces the Mo as [CpMo(CO)₃]₂ to give Cp*Ir(CO)(C,S-2,5-Me₂T) (7). Ultraviolet photolysis of 1 provides a convenient route to the ring-opened isomer 2. Despite the remarkable nature of the thiophene coordination in 5 and 6, its reactivity does not suggest new pathways that would lead to the hydrodesulfurization of thiophenes.

K-Co-Mo-C催化剂的制备及其合成低碳醇的性能

 采用溶胶-凝胶法制备了含碳的K-Co-Mo-C催化剂,通过改变碳前驱体的添加量以获得不同的碳含量,测试了催化剂上合成气制混合醇的性能. 结果表明,适量的残留碳增加了催化剂中活性相的分散度,提高了合成醇的收率和选择性,但过量的碳导致烃的选择性增加而醇的选择性下降,这是由于随着碳前驱体添加量的增加,催化剂中的Mo物种更容易被还原成金属态. 与惰性气氛中焙烧的样品不同,空气中焙烧的样品中没有碳的存在,氧化物组分容易生成难以还原的物相,合成醇活性较低. 含碳量为2.8%的样品具有最大的比表面积和孔体积,同时也具有最高的醇收率和选择性. 惰性气氛中高温焙烧样品导致其合成醇活性明显降低,但同时高碳醇的选择性增加.     

Selective Oxidation of Methane to Methanol Using Molecular Oxygen on MoOx／（LaCoO3＋Co3O4） Catalysts

Comparatively high CH3OH selectivity (60.0%) and yield (6.7%) were obtained on MoOx/(LaCoO3 Co3O4) catalysts in selective oxidation of methane to methanol using molecular oxygen as oxidant. The interaction between MoOx and La-Co-oxide modified the molecular structure of molybdenum oxide and the ratio of O^-/O^2- on the catalyst surface, which controlled the catalytic performance of MoOx/(LaCoO3 Co3O4) catalysts.     

Selective Electroanalytical Assay for Cysteine at a Boron Doped Diamond Electrode

The electrochemical oxidation of the cysteine‐quinone adduct has been examined as a means of providing an electroanalytical cysteine specific detection protocol. The appliance of square‐wave voltammetry allowed 0.5 μM as a limit of detection. The effects of various biologically relevant interferences including other thiols were studied and found to present no change in the voltammetric profile. The practical applicability and efficiency of the methodology was probed through the determination of cysteine concentration in growth tissue medium.     

Quantum chemical modeling of CO oxidation by the active site of molybdenum CO dehydrogenase

The catalytic mechanism of molybdenum containing CO dehydrogenase has been studied using hybrid DFT methods with quite large chemical models. The recent high-resolution X-ray structure, showing the surprising presence of copper linked to molybdenum, was used as a starting point. A pathway was initially found with a low barrier for C-O bond formation and CO2 release. However, this pathway did not include the formation of any S-CO2 species, which had been suggested by experiments with an n-butylisocyanide inhibitor. When these SCO2 structures were studied they were found to lead to deep minima, making CO2 release much more difficult. A large effort was spent, including investigations of other spin states, varying the number of protons and electrons, adding water, etc., until a plausible pathway for S-C bond cleavage was found. In this pathway a water molecule is inserted in between molybdenum and the SCO2 group. Full catalytic cycles, including electron and proton transfers, are constructed both with and without S-C bond formation. When these pathways are extended to two full catalytic cycles it can be understood why the formation of the S-C bond actually makes catalysis faster, even though the individual step of CO2 release becomes much more difficult. These results agree well with experimental findings.     

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.

An In Situ Copper Plated Boron‐Doped Diamond Microelectrode Array for the Sensitive Electrochemical Detection of Nitrate

The first example of using a copper microelectrode array for use in electroanalysis is explored and exemplified with the electroanalytical quantification of nitrate. The analytical approach is based upon the in situ deposition of copper at a boron‐doped diamond (BDD) microelectrode array. The immobilized copper layer is electrocatalytic for nitrate reduction and exhibits an analytically useful range from 1.2 to 124 μM with a marked selectivity for nitrate ion over nitrate, with a limit of detection of 0.76 μM. The analytical applicability was examined through standard addition determinations of nitrate in drinking and river water samples.
