Preparation of Tin Oxide-Based Metal Oxide Particles

Tin oxide-doped hybrid particles were prepared by a wet chemical process with organic-inorganic (phenyl/silica) hybrid particles in an alcoholic solution. The phenyl/silica hybrid particles, with a diameter of ca. 790 nm were used as a new support material for tin oxide (SnO₂) particles from tin(IV) chloride. The surface of the particles was modified via nitration of aromatic groups in the particles, to promote formation of the tin oxide coating on the particles. The thickness and surface morphology of the tin oxide layer coated on the nitrated-phenyl/silica hybrid particles could be controlled by varying the tin(IV) chloride concentration and reaction time. The size and morphology of the resultant particles were investigated with field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The particles obtained were also characterised by infrared (FTIR) and solid-state ¹³C magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (¹³C-CP/MAS NMR) spectroscopy. The effect of processing parameters on the crystallinity and structure of the doped hybrids were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns.

Nitration Reaction Catalyzed by Horseradish Peroxidase in the Presence of H2O2 and NaNO2

The enzymatic nitration of phenol and m-cresol catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase was studied in the presence of H2O2 and NaNO2. The results showed that the nitration products of phenol were 2-nitro and 4-nitrophenols. There was also a small amount of by-products of hydroquinone and catechol. The influences of various reaction parameters, including pH, organic solvent type, and concentrations of NaNO2 and H2O2, on the nitration products were investigated. The yields of 4-nitrophenol and 2-nitrophenol were 14% and 12%, respectively. The nitration products of m-cresol were 4-nitro-m-cresol and 6-nitro-m-cresol, and the yields of 4-nitro-m-cresol and 6-nitro-m-cresol were 19% and 30%, respectively.

NO2气相硝化金刚烷的计算研究

运用密度泛函理论(DFT)和半经验MO-PM3方法研究了NO₂气相硝化金刚烷反应机理. 计算结果表明, NO₂不能直接取代金刚烷H; 在B3LYP/6-311＋＋G(3df,2pd)//B3LYP/6-31G* 较高水平下, 对三个可能机理的反应势垒(E_a)的精确计算表明, 该反应的决速步骤为NO₂中O和N进攻1-H的竞争过程, 且1-硝基金刚烷为主要产物. NO₂中O进攻1-H决速反应过程中, 分子几何、原子自然电荷及IR光谱变化表明, C—H键的断裂和N—H键的形成是一个协同过程; 参与新键形成和旧键断裂原子C(1), H(11), O(28), O(29)和N(27)的原子自然电荷及与其相关的键长、键角有明显的变化. 反应过程中体系偶极矩的变化表明, 极性溶剂能降低反应势垒, 有利于反应的进行.     

The kinetics of vapor-phase nitration of cellulose 2. Nitration with nitric acid under static conditions

The regularities of vapor-phase nitration of cellulose with HNO₃ under conditions of natural convection and hindered heat removal in the absence of air were studied using the nonisothermal kinetic method. It was established that the nitration rate at the depth of conversion of 0.08 to 0.7 is described by the kinetic law d/dt =k ₁ p/(1+), wherek ₁ = 10^4.49±0.6 exp(–A/RT) s^–1 atm^–1, = 10^{–35.5±15.7}exp(B/RT),A = 36.6±3.8 kl mol^–1, andB = 203±88 kJ mol^–1. The diffusion mechanism of vapor-phase nitration of cellulose, which explains the high value of activation energies, is discussed. The effective diffusion coefficient of HNO₃ in cellulose at 25 °3.7 · 10^–7 cm² s^–1) and the activation energy of diffusion (38.3±4.2 kJ mol^–1) were estimated.For Part 1, see Ref. l.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.
