Ship-in-bottle formation of Ru_3(CO)_(12) in NaY zeolite

NaY zeolite entrapped Ru3(CO)12 cluster has been synthesized from RuCl3 ion-exchanged NaY, which is well characterized by IR and Raman spectroscopies and CO chemisorp-tion. When the Ru3+/NaY sample is heated from 298 K to 393 K for 25 h and for 10 h at 393 K, the sample colour changes from dark to brown-yellow. The in situ infrared spectrum exhibits absorption bands at 2130, 2064, 2040, 2017, 1990, 1953 and 1925 cm-1. The bands at 2130 cm-1 arises from the Runm+(CO)l m =1-3;n = 1 - 3; l = 1-12). The bands at 2064, 2040, 2017 and 1990 cm-1 are proposed to be associated with the Ru3(CO)12/NaY, which are close to Ru3(CO)12 crystalline. Furthermore, the Raman results provide bands at 150 and 185 cm-1, which can be attributed to Ru-Ru bonds of the sample as in the case of Ru3(CO)12 crystalline, for which the A1' Ru-Ru stretching mode is assigned to 185 cm-1 and E1' Ru-Ru stretching mode is assigned to a band at 150 cm-1, respectively. CO chemisorption of [Ru3]/NaY gives a CO/Ru ratio of 3.85, which is simila

Efficient conversion of fructose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural over sulfated porous carbon catalyst

Sulfated porous carbon (PC-SO3H) catalyst was successfully synthesized from one-pot treatment of porous polydivinylbenzene in H2SO4 at 250 C, which exhibited very good catalytic performances in the production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural from fructose.     

Selective Oxidation of Methane into Methanol Under Mild Conditions

Selective oxidation of methane to methanol under mild conditions has been considered as a dream reaction but suffers from poor efficiency due to the strong C-H bond of methane and easy overoxidation of the methanol product. For overcoming these problems, a series of strategies has been developed for improving methanol productivity with oxidants of hydrogen peroxide and even a mixture of oxygen and hydrogen at mild temperatures. Significant achievements in these strategies using effective catalysts, such as supported metal nanoparticles, colloidal metal nanoparticles, and metal@zeolites are briefly concluded. Moreover, the current challenges, future perspectives for preparing active, selective, and stable catalysts, have been discussed. The zeolite fixed metal nanoparticle structure has been found to boost the reaction by benefiting the formation and enrichment of peroxide intermediates, which might guide the development of more efficient catalysts.     

Oscillatory Activities in Regulatory Biological Networks and Hopf Bifurcation

Exploiting the nonlinear dynamics in the negative feedback loop, we propose a statistical signal-response model to describe the different oscillatory behaviour in a biological network motif. By choosing the delay as a bifurcation parameter, we discuss the existence of Hopf bifurcation and the stability of the periodic solutions of model equations with the centre manifold theorem and the normal form theory. It is shown that a periodic solution is born in a Hopf bifurcation beyond a critical time delay, and thus the bifurcation phenomenon may be important to elucidate the mechanism of oscillatory activities in regulatory biological networks.     

Melting Transition of Small Aluminium Clusters Al11-20

Heat capacities of small aluminium clusters A111-20 are investigated using MD simulation with empirical many- body Gupta potential. The heat capacities of some clusters A111, A112, A113 and A119 show well-defined peaks while the heat capacities of Alls-ls indicate a gradual melting transition. The spectra of isomers obtained by quenches along the MD trajectory give good interpretation for those results.

Phase transitions,correlations and fluctuations of nuclear multifragmentation

Five different phases of the nuclear equation of state are described: the gas, the liquid, the super heated liquid, the super cooled gas and the mechanically unstable spinodal regions, both for nuclear matter and for the finite nucleus ¹⁹⁷Au, with a density, temperature, and momentum dependent mean field derived from the extended Skyrme force. From realistic simulations in r-space and in p-space for these different phases at a finite temperature T=6 MeV, one can sort all kinds of nuclear clusters by a coalescence model. Correlation analyses of the nuclear clusters demonstrate that, both multifragmentation and intermittent patterns come only from the spinodal region, critical behaviour comes mainly from the spinodal region while there is also a small contribution from the super heated liquid and the liquid regions.
