Phosphine and Thiophene Cyclopalladated Complexes: Hydrolysis Reactions in Strong Acidic Media

The mechanisms for the hydrolysis of organopalladium complexes [Pd(CNN)R]BF₄ (R=P(OPh)₃, PPh₃, and SC₄H₈) were investigated at 25 °C by using UV/Vis absorbance measurements in 10 % v/v ethanol/water mixtures containing different sulphuric acid concentrations in the 1.3–11.7 M range. In all cases, a biphasic behavior was observed with rate constants k_1obs, which corresponds to the initial step of the hydrolysis reaction, and k_2obs, where k_1obs>k_2obs. The plots of k_1obs and k_2obs versus sulfuric acid concentration suggest a change in the reaction mechanism. The change with respect to the k_1obs value corresponds to 35 %, 2 %, and 99 % of the protonated complexes for R=PPh₃, P(OPh)₃, and SC₄H₈, respectively. Regarding k_2obs, the change occurred in all cases at about 6.5 M H₂SO₄ and matched up with the results reported for the hydrolysis of the 2‐acetylpyridinephenylhydrazone (CNN) ligand. By using the excess acidity method, the mechanisms were elucidated by carefully looking at the variation of k_i,_obs (i=1,2) versus ${c_{{\rm{H}}^ + } }$ . The rate‐determining constants, k_0,A‐1, k_0,A‐2, and k_0,A‐SE2 were evaluated in all cases. The R=P(OPh)₃ complex was most reactive due to its π‐acid character, which favors the rupture of the trans nitrogen–palladium bond in the A‐2 mechanism and also that of the pyridine nitrogen–palladium bond in the A‐1 mechanism. The organometallic bond exerts no effect on the relative basicity of the complexes, which are strongly reliant on the substituent.     

The acidity functionsH 0 s of HCl solutions in EtOH with low water content

The acidity functionsH ₀ ^s of HCl solutions in EtOH-H₂O solvents containing 1.09, 3.0, and 5.0% water have been measured at 25 and 40 °C by the indicator method. The concentration of HCl changes from 10^–2 to 36m. Nitroanilines, for which a protonation mechanism is realized in the studied systems, were used as indicators.For each solvent,H ₀ ^s is temperature independent atm _HCl < 4, and acidity atm _HCl > 4 mol L^–1 increases more rapidly at 25 °C than at 40 °C. The acidity functions of aqueous and water-ethanol solutions of HCl were compared, and the concentrations of proton solvates of different compositions and their relative protonating ability were evaluated.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Reaction of Trimethylbenzene over Alumina-Pillared Montmorillonite

The reaction of trimethylbenzene (TMB) over alumina-pillared montmorillonite (Al-PM) had been investigated in a fixed-bed flow reactor at 300 °C and atmospheric pressure. Al-PM calcined in the range 300-500 °C exhibited decreased layer distance, surface area and acid amount. The strong acid sites of Al-PM calcined at 500 °C were greatly diminished according to measurements of ammonia temperature-programmed desorption. Under our conditions the reaction proceeded mainly via isomerization and disproportionation with little dealkylation. The conversion of reactant decreased in the order 1,2,3-TMB ≥ 1,2,4-TMB > 1,3,5-TMB and the selectivity of isomerization in the order 1,2,3-TMB > 1,3,5-TMB > 1,2,4-TMB, corresponding to the order of diminishing thermal instability. Both the catalytic activity and the selectivity ratio of disproportionation to isomerization decreased with increased calcined temperature and time-on-stream. o-Xylene content in the total xylene produced from 1,2,4-TMB or 1,2,3-TMB greatly exceeded the composition at thermodynamic equilibrium. These results arc consistent with the decrease of both the strong acid sites and the pore size of Al-PM which exhibits the restricted transition state selectivity.     

改性Y分子筛的酸碱性能及吸附性能的研究

吡啶、吡咯、苯、甲苯、乙苯作为探针分子，在Li＋, Na＋, K＋, Cs＋改性的Y型分子筛上进行吸附，用TPD及IR方法系统地研究了不同碱金属离子改性的Y型分子筛的酸碱性能和吸附性能的变化. 结果表明，按Li、Na、K、Cs的顺序, 随着碱金属离子半径的增大, 其L酸酸强度依次减弱，L碱的强度逐渐增强.由于改性Y型分子筛所含碱金属离子的不同，其对芳烃的吸附的强弱及吸附量的大小亦不同.随着骨架外的阳离子的半径逐渐增大，碱的强度逐渐增强，与芳烃的作用愈强烈，导致TPD脱附峰温增高及芳烃和侧链上的C－H伸缩振动谱带向低波数位移愈多.由于位阻的原因，对含同一种碱金属离子的分子筛来说，随着芳烃侧链C数的增加，芳烃的吸附量逐渐减小.     

Toward the preparation of the HAuF6, HAu2F11, and HAu3F16 superacids: Theoretical study

We apply the B3LYP and QCISD theoretical methods with the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set and the LANL2DZ effective core potentials to investigate the reaction paths leading to the preparation of the HAuF₆, HAu₂F₁₁, and HAu₃F₁₆ superacids. The Gibbs free energies of deprotonation of these systems are calculated to estimate their acid strength. The thermodynamic stability of the corresponding anionic precursors ((AuF₆)^–, (Au₂F₁₁)^–, and (Au₃F₁₆)^–) and their vertical excess electron detachment energies are evaluated and discussed. The suggested route of the HAu₂F₁₁ preparation involves the F^– attachment to the Au₂F₁₀ reactant which results in the formation of the (Au₂F₁₁)^– anion whose protonation yields the HAu₂F₁₁ superacid. The suggested HAuF₆ superacid preparation route is based on a qualitatively similar scheme and involves the conversion of the AuF₅ reactant into the (AuF₆)^– anion followed by its protonation. The proposed path for the HAu₃F₁₆ superacid preparation involves the attachment of AuF₅ to HAu₂F₁₁.     

三种分子筛催化苯胺缩合制二苯胺性能研究

分别以HY,Hβ,HMOR为母体,与拟薄水铝石、铝溶胶混合,采用机械挤出法制备催化剂,采用XRD、N₂等温吸附-脱附（N₂-sorption）、NH₃-TPD、吡啶吸附红外光谱（Py-IR）等分析手段进行表征,探讨了其物化性能的差异,并采用固定床反应器考察了上述催化剂对苯胺缩合制二苯胺反应的催化性能.结果表明,分子筛中强酸对催化剂活性有决定性作用,酸类型对催化性能影响不大;分子筛孔径对二苯胺选择性有显著影响,较小的孔径不利于二苯胺的生成和扩散,降低了目标产物的选择性.因此,在设计和选择苯胺缩合制二苯胺催化剂时应考虑酸性质和孔道尺寸对苯胺转化率和二苯胺选择性的影响来优化催化剂.     

Pt/SAPO-11催化剂载体的改性对正十四烷临氢转化性能的影响

以Pt/SAPO-11双功能催化剂为基础,对催化剂载体进行柠檬酸、炭黑改性,以正十四烷为模型化合物,通过催化剂表征和反应评价,探索了催化剂载体的改性对正十四烷临氢转化性能的影响。结果表明,异构化产物以单甲基异构物为主,改性没有改变催化剂的酸强度,但使得酸浓度有所下降。通过柠檬酸调变催化剂的酸性使得催化剂的低温催化活性显著提高,采用炭黑扩孔改性,有效改善了催化剂的传质性能,提高了催化剂的单甲基异构体选择性。柠檬酸和炭黑改性的催化剂裂化产物均以C6为主,改性并没有改变SAPO-11分子筛的孔道限制效应,裂化产物呈现一定的择型效应,裂化产物分布呈现出不对称分布的特点。     

A systematic tandem mass spectrometric study of anion attachment for improved detection and acidity evaluation of nitrogen‐rich energetic compounds

The development of rapid, efficient, and reliable detection methods for the characterization of energetic compounds is of high importance to security forces concerned with terrorist threats. With a mass spectrometric approach, characteristic ions can be produced by attaching anions to analyte molecules in the negative ion mode of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI‐MS). Under optimized conditions, formed anionic adducts can be detected with higher sensitivities as compared with the deprotonated molecules. Fundamental aspects pertaining to the formation of anionic adducts of 1,3,5,7‐tetranitro‐1,3,5,7‐tetrazocane (HMX), 1,3,5‐trinitro‐1,3,5‐triazinane (RDX), pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), nitroglycerin (NG), and 1,3,5‐trinitroso‐1,3,5‐triazinane energetic (R‐salt) compounds using various anions have been systematically studied by ESI‐MS and ESI tandem mass spectrometry (collision‐induced dissociation) experiments. Bracketing method results show that the gas‐phase acidities of PETN, RDX, and HMX fall between those of HF and acetic acid. Moreover, PETN and RDX are each less acidic than HMX in the gas phase. Nitroglycerin was found to be the most acidic among the nitrogen‐rich explosives studied. The ensemble of bracketing results allows the construction of the following ranking of gas‐phase acidities: PETN (1530‐1458 kJ/mol) > RDX (approximately 1458 kJ/mol) > HMX (approximately 1433 kJ/mol) > nitroglycerin (1427‐1327.8 kJ/mol).     

V2O5 / TiO2-SiO2表面酸性对选择性催化还原NO及抗碱金属性能的影响

采用溶胶-凝胶法制备出不同配比的V2O5/TiO2-SiO2催化剂,运用低温氮吸附-脱附、XRD、FTIR对催化剂进行表征,对NH3法选择性催化还原氮氧化物(SCR)的行为及抗碱金属性能进行了研究.结果显示复合催化剂比表面积达125～413 m2·g-1,表面酸强和酸量不同程度增加,其中载体中含50%SiO2的催化剂(V5ST)表面酸量最大,在典型SCR反应温度350 ℃下Lewis酸很稳定,Bronsted 酸稍有减少.V5ST相比传统催化剂V2O5/TiO2表现出更佳SCR活性和抗中毒性能,其原因可能是部分钾优先与催化剂表面酸结合,从而降低了对钒活性物种的毒害.不同温度下失活程度的对比表明:低温条件下SCR活性主要依赖于B酸,随反应温度升高,稳定的L酸逐渐开始发挥主导作用,失活程度相应较低.     

应用原位漫反射红外-质谱技术研究CuO/Al2O3催化剂表面酸性及其反应性能

应用原位漫反射红外-质谱联用、程序升温和暂态响应技术研究了CuO/Al₂O₃催化剂表面酸性及其反应性能. 实验结果表明, CuO/Al₂O₃催化剂表面呈Lewis酸性, 硫化不仅可增强CuO/Al₂O₃催化剂的Lewis酸性, 而且可产生新的Brønsted酸性位; 吸附于Lewis酸性位的NH₃具有选择性催化还原(SCR)活性. 而在硫化样Cu8(400S)中Lewis和Brønsted酸性位同时存在的情况下, 吸附于Lewis和Brønsted酸性位的氨均具有SCR活性, 且后者较前者弱; CuO/Al₂O₃催化剂上的SCR反应遵循Eley-Rideal机理, 即SCR反应发生于吸附态NH₃与气相NO之间.
