从“最强酸碱”话题入手介绍超强酸、超强碱

酸碱质子理论是普通化学中的重要模块。学习酸碱质子理论一般从弱酸水溶液入手,若将应用范围扩展为所有含质子的化合物,该理论将被赋予更多的内涵。在含质子的已知化合物中,K_a的范围十分宽广,跨越了100个数量级以上。哪种酸碱“最强”一直是学生间喜闻乐见的话题,以此话题出发,介绍了常见的超强酸、超强碱与相关概念及应用。这些概念的介绍不仅拓展了学生的视野,更能够加深学生对酸碱质子理论的理解,对未来分析化学、无机化学、有机化学的教育产生积极意义。     

Efficient Synthesis of Triarylamines Catalyzed by Copper(I) Diazabutadiene Complexes

Cuprous chloride was coordinated by diazabutadiene (DAB‐R) ligands to form Cu(I)‐(DAB‐R) complexes, most of which have a 1:1 ratio of Cu to DAB‐R as reported. In the case of a special DAB‐ⁱPP, N,N′‐bis(2,6‐diisopropylphenyl)‐1,4‐diaza‐1,3‐butadiene, an unexpected composition of complex was found with the formula Cu(I)Cl(DAB)₂. When employed as catalyst for triarylamine synthesis from the coupling of aryl halides with primary and secondary arylamines, the new Cu(I)‐(DAB‐ⁱPP) complex displayed high efficiency.     

An on-line solid phase extraction-liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method for the determination of perfluoroalkyl substances in the Antarctic ice core samples

An on-line solid phase extraction-high performance liquid chromatography-tandemmass spectrometry method for the analysis of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in water samples was developed. The optimal analytical conditions were obtained through the optimization of the extraction efficiency of online solid phase extraction column, sample loading rate and loading volume, and the concentration of ammonium acetate in mobile phase. Under the optimal condition, the analytical method displayed good linearity (r² > 0.99) for 12 PFASs (C5-C14 perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids and C6/C8 perfluoroalkyl sulfonic acids) over a concentration range of 0.5-100 ng/L. The limits of quantitation for samples were between 0.025 ng/L and 0.5 ng/L and the relative standard deviations (RSD) of five consecutive analyses were less than 10% for 1 ng/L standard solution. Satisfactory results were obtained using this analytical method for the analysis of perfluoroalkyl substances in Antarctic ice core samples. The recoveries of all perfluoroalkyl substances were in a range of 73%-117% when the sampleswere spiked with standards at the concentrations of 2.5 ng/L and 25 ng/L.     

Molecular dynamics studies on the local disordering of Σ3 and Σ11 grain boundaries in aluminium bicrystal

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using Morse interaction potential are performed in studies of [110] symmetrical tilt grain boundary (GB) structures with mis-orientation angles 50.5°(Σ11), 129.5°(Σ11), 70.5°(Σ3) and 109.5°(Σ3) at various tempratures. The GB structures are found to start local disordering at about 0.5T _m (T _m is the melting point of aluminium) for 50.5°(Σ11), 0.32T _m for 129.5° (Σ11) and 0.38T _m for 70.5°(Σ3), respectively. These results agree with conclusions deduced from the anelastic measurements. But, for twin-boundary structure 109.5°(Σ3), this disordering has not been found even when temperature increases up to 0.9T _m .

Bifurcation of flow and mass transport in a curved blood vessel

A numerical analysis of flow and concentration fields of macromolecules in a, slightly curved blood vessel was carried out. Based on these results, the effect of the bifurcation of a flow on the mass transport in a curved blood vessel was discussed. The macromolecules turned out to be easier to deposit in the inner part of the curved blood vessel near the critical Dean number. Once the Dean number is higher than the critical number, the bifurcation of the flow appears. This bifurcation can prevent macromolecules from concentrating in the inner part of the curved blood vessel. This result is helpful for understanding the possible correlations between the blood dynamics and atherosclerosis.

DAMPING OF VERTICALLY EXCITED SURFACE WAVE IN WEAKLY VISCOUS FLUID

In a vertically oscillating circular cylindrical container, singular perturbation theory of two-time scale expansions is developed in weakly viscous fluids to investigate the motion of single free surface standing wave by linearizing the Navier-Stokes equation. The fluid field is divided into an outer potential flow region and an inner boundary layer region. The solutions of both two regions are obtained and a linear amplitude equation incorporating damping term and external excitation is derived. The condition to appear stable surface wave is obtained and the critical curve is determined. In addition, an analytical expression of damping coefficient is determined. Finally, the dispersion relation, which has been derived from the inviscid fluid approximation, is modified by adding linear damping. It is found that the modified results are reasonably closer to experimental results than former theory. Result shows that when forcing frequency is low, the viscosity of the fluid is prominent for the mode selection. However, when forcing frequency is high, the surface tension of the fluid is prominent.
