与时俱进，不断开创物理化学课程建设新局面

As a necessary basic theory course for undergraduates majoring in chemistry, materials, pharmacy, chemical engineering, and biology, physical chemistry plays an important role in cultivating talents to meet the needs of social and economic development. Over the years, the teaching team of physical chemistry of East China University of Science and Technology has carried out the curriculum reform and innovation persistently based on "Team building as the foundation, resource building as the root, mode innovation as the soul, ability training as the origin". This paper will summarize our thinking and experience in striving for the first-class course from the aspects of first-class team construction, first-class resource construction, teaching connotation innovation, teaching mode exploration, and extract the experience that can be used as reference by teaching peers.     

Rheological Properties of Mixed Aqueous Solutions of Geminis (12‐3‐12,2Br−) and SDS

The rheological properties of surfactant solutions are the main parameter that affects the surfactant application. In this work, the rheology of the mixed system 12‐3‐12,2Br^?/SDS/H₂O was discussed particularly. The relationship between the microstructure of surfactant aggregates and rheology of mixed solutions was explored. It is shown that the rheological properties of solutions have different behaviors at different molar ratio of two surfactants under given total concentration. With the increase of molar ratio (12‐3‐12,2Br^?/SDS), the solution change from Newtonian liquid into positive thixotropy then to negative thixotropy, at last turn to positive thixotropy again, and ATPS becomes the dividing line. The difference of rheological properties is the embodiment of difference for surfactant aggregates' microstructures. The cryo‐TEM results shown that the solutions containing aggregates with big size, such as rodlike micelles, multilamellar micelles, show positive thixotropy. However, the solutions containing lamellar micelles or liquid crystal will show negative thixotropy. The positive thixotropy endows the mixied system a potential application in enhanced oil recovery.     

正负离子表面活性剂/离子液体双水相性质研究

本文把短链离子液体(IL)四氟硼酸1-乙基-3-甲基咪唑鎓[C2mim]BF4引入正负离子表面活性剂十二烷基硫酸钠(SDS)和十二烷基三甲基溴化铵(DTAB)双水相体系(SDS/DTAB/H2O)中,研究了IL对双水相相图及相分离体系性质的影响。结果表明,[C2mim]BF4的阳离子性质是影响阴离子表面活性剂过量区域性质的主要因素,IL通过静电作用、氢键作用等改变体系中聚集体的形貌,最终导致阴离子双水相(ATPSa)的消失。IL的阴离子对阳离子双水相(ATPSc)区域性质起着决定作用;IL的盐效应引起的对表面活性剂混合胶束扩散双电层的压缩作用,不但促进胶团的形成,缩短了形成稳定胶团所需要的时间,加快了双水相的相分离速度,而且也造成了形成ATPSc所需DTAB含量的提高。IL的引入改变了ATPSc上、下相表面活性剂的组成及含量,使富含表面活性剂的上相中阳离子表面活性剂含量更高,进而提高了双水相的萃取性能,其上相对甲基橙的萃取效率可高达96.67%。     

Mesoporous SBA-15 materials modified with oxodiperoxo tungsten complexes as efficient catalysts for the epoxidation of olefins with hydrogen peroxide

A hybrid mesoporous SBA-15 material (2a) containing an oxodiperoxo tungsten complex of the type [WO(O₂)₂L] (L = pyrazolylpyridine) was synthesized by a post-grafting route. The organic–inorganic hybrid catalyst was characterized by means of XRD, N₂ adsorption–desorption and FT-IR. The catalytic property of 2a in the epoxidation of cyclooctene with H₂O₂ as the oxidant was investigated in comparison with other three kinds of hybrid tungsten containing SBA-15 materials bearing ethylenediamine, imidazole or 4,4′-bipyridine ligands. It was found that all oxodiperoxo tungsten catalysts were active at the reaction temperature of 55 °C with CH₃CN as solvent. However, only the catalyst with the pyrazolylpyridine ligand showed good recoverability and relatively high stability against leaching of active tungsten species. Moreover, this catalyst showed very high efficiency for H₂O₂ utilization, and its catalytic activity could be further improved by using solvent mixtures of CH₃CN and CH₃COOH.     

离子液体型表面活性剂C12mimBr与普通表面活性剂混合性质的研究

研究了离子液体型表面活性剂C12mimBr与阳离子表面活性剂Gemini 12-3-12, DTAB及阴离子表面活性剂SDS复配体系的性质, 并分别采用Rubingh-Margules模型和Rubingh-正规溶液模型计算了临界胶束浓度和混合胶团组成. 研究发现, 两表面活性剂分子结构的匹配性及带电头基之间的相互作用是影响混合溶液性质的主要因素. 对于分子结构差别较大的C12mimBr与Gemini 12-3-12的混合, 其行为远远偏离理想混合性质; 对疏水链长相同仅亲水头基不同的C12mimBr与DTAB则接近于理想混合; 而对C12mimBr＋SDS的复配体系, 正、负电荷间强烈的相互吸引使得混合体系大大偏离理想行为. 计算发现, 两种理论模型得到的混合胶团组成基本一致, 但Rubingh-Margules模型预测的临界胶束浓度比Rubingh-正规溶液模型要好     

Global existence of periodic solutions on a simplified BAM neural network model with delays

A simplified n-dimensional BAM neural network model with delays is considered. Some results of Hopf bifurcations occurring at the zero equilibrium as the delay increases are exhibited. Global existence of periodic solutions are established using a global Hopf bifurcation result of Wu [Wu J. Symmetric functional-differential equations and neural networks with memory. Trans Am Math Soc 1998;350:4799–838], and a Bendixson criterion for higher dimensional ordinary differential equations due to Li and Muldowney [Li MY, Muldowney J. On Bendixson’s criterion. J Differ Equations 1994;106:27–39]. Finally, computer simulations are performed to illustrate the analytical results found.     

Effect of the spacer group of cationic gemini surfactant on microemulsion phase behavior

The phase behavior of a system of n-butanol/n-octane/water/cationic gemini surfactant, alkanediyl-alpha,omega-(dimethydodecyl-ammonium bromide)(12-n-12, n=3,4,6), has been investigated by determination the pseudo-ternary phase diagrams. The results have shown that the spacer group of gemini surfactant has a great effect on the phase behavior. The longer the spacer group for the geminis, the more similar the geminis properties to the traditional ones. The mixing content of surfactant and cosurfactant needed for forming microemulsions increases with the geminis' spacer group. The study has also shown that the shorter spacer group of geminis is favorable for the formation of higher ordered surfactant aggregates such as liquid crystals. Furthermore, the microstructures of each region for the studied systems have been investigated by electrical conductivity measurements, UV-visible absorbance spectra of pyrene probe, and dynamic light scattering (DLS). All the results are in accord with each other. DLS makes use of the sensitivity of DLS to structural changes and as expected the hydrodynamic diameter of the microemulsion droplet changes as the transformation of microemulsion microstructures take place. Moreover, the spherical and network structures of microemulsion were further verified by freezing-etching TEM.
