Water/Oil Biphasic Hydroformylation of Higher Olefins over a TPPTS-Rh/SiO2 Catalyst

A novel TPPTS-Rh/SiO2 catalyst, prepared by directly modifying a heterogeneous highsurface-area Rh/SiO2 catalyst with water-soluble TPPTS ligands, could decrease the resistance of mass transfer in water/oil biphasic media for the hydroformylation of higher olefins. The catalytic performance for hydroformylation on this biphasic TPPTS-Rh/SiO2 catalyst system was higher than those of the traditional biphasic HRhCO(TPPTS)3 systems, owing to the chemical bonds between the highly dispersed Rh metal particles and the TPPTS ligands. The catalyst system is applicable for hydroformylation of higher olefins such as 1-dodecene.

Rotational spectrum, potential energy surface, and bound states of the weakly bound complex He-N2O

Pure rotational transitions of the weakly bound complex He-N(2)O and three minor isotopomers (He-(14)N(15)NO, He-(15)N(14)NO, and He-(15)N(15)NO) were measured in the frequency region from 6 to 20 GHz. Predictions for the microwave transition frequencies were based on the infrared work by Tang and McKellar [J. Chem. Phys. 117, 2586 (2002)]. In the case of (14)N containing isotopomers, nuclear quadrupole hyperfine structure of the rotational transitions was observed and analyzed. The resulting spectroscopic parameters were used to determine geometrical and dynamical information about the complex. An ab initio potential energy surface was calculated at the coupled cluster level of theory with single and double excitations and perturbative inclusion of triple excitations. This surface was constructed using the augmented correlation consistent polarized valence triple zeta basis set for all atoms with the inclusion of bond functions for the van der Waals bond. Bound state calculations were done to determine the energies of low-lying rovibrational levels that are supported by the potential energy surface. The resulting transition energies agree with the experimental values to 1% or better.

Synthesis, crystal structure of bis(arylamido)lanthanide methyl complexes and their catalytic behavior for the polymerization of methyl methacrylate

Reactions of [N(C₆H₃i-Pr₂-2,6)(SiMe₃)]₂LnCl(THF) (Ln=Nd, Yb) with two equivalents of MeLi in a mixture solution of toluene and Et₂O gave [N(C₆H₃i-Pr₂-2,6)(SiMe₃)]₂LnCH₃(μ-CH₃)Li(THF)₃·PhCH₃ (Ln=Nd (1), Yb (2)) in good isolated yields as crystalline solids. The single-crystal structural analysis of 2 revealed that the coordination geometry of ytterbium ion is best described as a distorted pseudo-tetrahedron. Both 1 and 2 are active for the polymerization of methyl methacrylate to give syndiotactic-rich and high molecular weight polymers (M_n>10⁴) with relatively narrow molecular weight distributions (M_w/M_n<2).     

Facile amidation of esters with aromatic amines promoted by lanthanide tris (amide) complexes

The development of catalysts capable of catalyzing amidation of esters with amines to construct amides under mild conditions is of great importance. Compared to aliphatic amines, the direct catalytic amidation of esters with less nucleophilic aromatic amines is rather difficult. Employing simple lanthanide tris (amide) complexes Ln[N (SiMe₃)₂]₃(μ-Cl)Li (THF)₃ as the catalysts, it was found a broad range of aromatic amines and esters were efficiently converted into various amides in good yields under mild conditions. A plausible mechanism for this transformation was experimentally supported as starting from an amide exchange reaction between the lanthanide tris (amide) complex and the substrate amine.     

Rare-earth metal derivatives supported by aminophenoxy ligand: Synthesis,characterization and catalytic performance in lactide polymerization

A library of rare-earth metal derivatives supported by an aminophenoxy ligand was prepared and their catalytic performance in lactide polymerization was investigated. It was found that the synthetic strategy had a profound effect on the formation of aminophenoxy rare-earth metal complexes. Amine elimination between Ln[N(SiMe₃)₂]₃(μ-Cl)Li(THF)₃ (Ln = Yb, Y) and 1 equiv. of the aminophenol [HONH] ([HONH] = ο-OCH₃-C₆H₄NHCH₂(3,5-^tBu₂-C₆H₂-2-OH)) in toluene gave the unexpected heterobimetallic bis(aminophenoxy) rare-earth metal complexes [ON]₂LnLi(THF)₂ (Ln = Yb ( 1 ), Y ( 2 )). When the reactions were carried out in THF and TMEDA, amine elimination produced the aminophenoxy rare-earth metal amide complexes {[ON]LnN(SiMe₃)₂}₂ (Ln = Yb ( 5 ), Y ( 6 )) in ca 85% isolated yields. Complexes 5 and 6 could also be obtained from salt metathesis reaction of {[ON]LnCl(THF)}₂ (Ln = Yb ( 3 ), Y ( 4 )) with NaN(SiMe₃)₂ in a 1:2 molar ratio. In addition, treatment of complexes 3 and 4 with NaOAr (Ar = &bond;C₆H₄-4-^tBu) and (SiMe₃)₂NC(NPrⁱ)₂Na in 1:4 and 1:2 molar ratios provided the corresponding aminophenoxy rare-earth metal derivatives {[ON](μ-OAr)Ln(μ-OAr)Na(THF)₂}₂ (Ln = Yb ( 7 ), Y ( 8 )) and {[ON]Ln[(ⁱPrN)₂CN(SiMe₃)₂]}₂ (Ln = Yb ( 9 ), Y ( 10 )), respectively. These complexes were fully characterized, and their molecular structures were determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Polymerization experiments showed that complexes 1 , 2 , 5 , 6 , 9 and 10 were highly active for the ring-opening polymerization of l -lactide in toluene, and complex 1 promoted l -lactide polymerization in a controlled fashion. The polymerization of rac-lactide initiated by the neutral aminophenoxy rare-earth metal complexes 5 , 6 , 9 and 10 in THF afforded heterotactic polymers.     

Determination of fatty acids in soil samples by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry coupled with headspace solid‐phase microextraction using a homemade sol–gel fiber†

Through the use of a homemade sol–gel‐derived fiber, a headspace solid‐phase microextraction technique coupled to gas chromatography with mass spectrometry was developed for the determination of fatty acids with long, even‐numbered carbon chains (C₁₂–C₂₄) in soil samples. The experimental parameters such as reaction time, temperature, and ionic strength that might affect derivatization, extraction, and desorption were investigated. Under the optimized conditions, the linearity of the method ranged from 0.1 to 100 mg/L with a correlation coefficient >0.997. The limit of detection values based on a signal‐to‐noise ratio of 3:1 were determined with the concentration from 0.39 to 39.4 μg/L. The recoveries of the method for the soil samples were from 91.15 to 108.1%. This developed method using a homemade fiber showed a higher sensitivity than that using a commercial polydimethylsiloxane fiber and was also for the analysis of real soil samples from the Paomaling geological park of China.
