Ruthenium(II) complexes with mono and ditertiary arsines and phosphines and their reaction with small molecules

Dichlorotetrakis(dimethylsulphoxide)ruthenium(II) reacts with AsPh₃ AsMePh₂, AsMe₂Ph and SbPh₃ in ethanolic hydrochloric acid solution to yield the complexes RuCl₂(DMSO)₂(AsPh₃)₂, RuCl₂(DMSO) L₂ (L = AsMePh₂, AsMe₂Ph, SbPh₃) respectively. The treatment of ruthenium(II) blue solution with AsMePh₂, AsMe₂Ph and SbPh₃ in alcohol resulted in the formation of the complexes; RuCl₂L₃ (L = AsMePh₂, AsMe₂Ph and SbPh₂), respectively. The reaction of RuCl₂(DMSO)₄ with the bidentate ligands 1,2 bis (diphenylarsino)methane (DPAM), 1,2 bis(diphenylarsino)ethane (DPAE) and 1,2 bis (diphenylphosphino)methane (DPPM). 1,2 bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (DPPE), in ethanol gave the complexes RuCl₂(DPAM)₂, RuCl₂(DPAE)₂, RuCl₂ (DPPM)₂ RuCl₂(DPPE)₂, respectively. The complexes thus obtained undergo reaction with carbon monoxide, hydrogen, molecular nitrogen and nitric oxide to yield a variety of mixed ligand complexes.     

SnO_2/TiO_2纳米管复合光催化剂的性能及失活再生

基于微波水热法和微乳液法合成SnO2/TiO2纳米管复合光催化剂.通过X射线衍射(XRD)、配有能量色散X射线光谱仪(EDX)的透射电镜(TEM)和电化学手段对光催化剂进行表征.以甲苯为模型污染物,考察光催化剂在紫外光(UV)和真空远紫外光(VUV)下的性能及失活再生.结果表明,SnO2/TiO2纳米管复合光催化剂形成三元异质结(锐钛矿相TiO2(A-TiO2)/金红石相TiO2(R-TiO2)、A-TiO2/SnO2和R-TiO2/SnO2异质结),促使光生电子-空穴对的有效分离,提高光催化活性.SnO2/TiO2表现出最佳的光催化性能,UV和VUV条件下的甲苯降解率均达100%,CO2生成速率(k2)均为P25的3倍左右.但由于UV光照矿化能力不足,中间产物易在催化剂表面累积.随着UV光照时间的增加,SnO2/TiO2逐渐失活,20 h后k2由138.5 mg·m-3·h-1下降到76.1 mg·m-3·h-1.利用VUV再生失活的SnO2/TiO2,过程中产生的·OH、O2-·、O(1D)、O(3P)、O3等活性物质可氧化吸附于催化剂活性位的难降解中间产物,使催化剂得以再生,12 h后k2恢复到143.6 mg·m-3·h-1.UV和VUV的协同效应使UV降解耦合VUV再生成为一种可持续的光催化降解污染物模式.     

Conversion of rhenium alkylidyne complexes that contain unsupported metal-metal double bonds into relatives that contain μ-alkylidyne ligands

Photolysis of compounds of the type [Re(CCMe₂R)(OR′)₂] (R = Me or Ph; OR′ = O′Bu, OCMe₂(CF₃), or OCMe(CF₃)₂) in benzene with a medium pressure mercury lamp yields compounds of the type [Re(OR′)₂]₂(μ-CCMe₂R)₂ in an intramolecular and irreversible manner. [Re(CCMe₂R)(OR′)₂]₂ and [Re(OR′)₂]₂(μ-CCMe₂R)₂ (OR′ = O′Bu or OCMe₂(CF₃)₂) both react with excess carbon monoxide in several solvents to afford the dimers [Re(OR′)₂(CO)]₂(μ-CCMe₂R)₂ quantitatively. An X-ray study of [Re(O^tBu)₂(CO)]₂ (μ-C^tBu)₂ shows it to consist of two distorted trigonal bipyramids connected by two symmetrically bridging neopentylidyne ligands. The unbridged dimers of general formula [Re(CCMe₂R)(OR′)₂]₂ do not react readily with simple substrates such as phosphines, olefins, or acetylenes, although [Re(CCMe₂R)(O^tBu)₂]₂ can be oxidized by iodine to yield Re(CCMe₂R)(O^tBu)₂I₂ in good yield. In contrast, {Re[OCMe(CF₃)₂]₂}₂(μ-C^tBu)₂ reacts with one equivalent of phenylacetylene to give a species in which one of the two bridging alkylidyne ligands is retained.     

Reactions of the sterically hindered organosilicon diol (Me3Si)2C(SiMe2OH)2 and some of its derivatives

The diol R₂C(SiMe₂OH)₂ (R = Me₃Si) has been shown to react with: SO₂Cl₂ to give R₂ Me₂; SOCl₂ to give R₂C(SiMe₂Cl)₂; Me₃SiI or Me₃SiCl to give R₂C(SiMe₂OSiMe₃)₂; R′COCl; (R′ = Me or CF₃) to give R₂C(SiMe₂O₂CR′)-(SiMe₂Cl); (R′CO)₂O (R′ = Me or CF₃ to give R₂C(SiMe₂O₂CR′)₂; with MeOH containing acid to give R₂C(SiMe₂OMe)₂; with neutral MeOH to give R₂C-(SiMe₂OMe)₂ and probably R₂ Me₂; MeLi to give R₂C(SiMe₂OLi)₂ (and the latter to react with PhMeSiF₂ to give R₂ Me₂). The diacetate R₂C(SiMe₂O₂CMe)₂ reacts with CsF in MeCN to give R₂C(SiMe₂F)₂; it does not react with NaN₃ or KSCN in MeCN, but the bis(trifluoroacetate) reacts with these salts with KOCN to give R₂C(SiMe₂X)₂ (X = N₃, NCS, NCO).     

The formation and stability of hydrated and anhydrous uranyl phosphates

The stabilities of the hydrated uranyl phosphates (UO₂)₃(PO₄)₂ · 4 H₂O, UO₂HPO₄ · 4 H₂O, and UO₂(H₂PO₄) · 3 H₂O have been reinvestigated. The compounds identified by thermal analysis have been prepared isothermally and characterized by their strongest X-ray reflections. During dehydration, oxygen was not evolved and the crystalline compounds (UO₂)₃(PO₄)₂, (UO₂)₂P₂O₇, UO₂(PO₃)₂, and probably (UO₂)₃P₄O)₁₃ were found.

At still higher temperatures, the uranyl phosphates are reduced. The decomposition products lose phosphorus oxide above 1300–1400°C. The present results are summarized in a tentative pseudo-binary phase diagram UO_x(x = 3 to 2)—UO₂(PO₃)₂.     

Template reactions with polynuclear complexes. The reaction of [Mo2(O2CCF3)4(PR3)2] (R = Ph, Et) with 2-aminobenzaldehyde

The binuclear molybdenum(II) complexes [Mo₂(O₂CCF₃)₄(PR₃)₂] (R = Ph, Et) act as templates for the self-condensation of 2-aminobenzaldehyde to give a new class of complexes in which a hydride ion bridges two molybdenum(III) centres, each of which carries a tetradentate macrocyclic ligand (C). The new hydrido complexes [Mo₂(C)₂ (H)(O₂CCF₃)₃(PPh₃)₂] (I), [Mo₂(C)₂(H)₂(O₂CCF₃)₂(PPh₃)₂] (II), and [Mo₂(C)₂ (H)₂(O₂CCF₃)₂(PEt₃)₂]₂ (V) exist in two or more isomeric forms as shown by their IR, ¹H, ³¹P and ¹⁹F NMR spectra. Substitution with thiocyanate, nitrate and tetraphenylborate anions gives the new products [Mo₂(C)₂(H)(CO)(NCS)₃(PPh₃)₂] (III), [Mo₂(C)₂ (H)₂(O₂CCF₃)(NO₃)(PPh₃)₂] (IV), [Mo₂(C)₂(H)(O₂CCF₃)(PPh₃)₂](BPh₄)₂ (VI) and [Mo₂(C)₂(H)₂(O₂CCF₃)(PEt₃)₂](BPh₄) (VII), which also exist in isomeric forms.     

O2/CO2气氛下CO2和H2O气化反应对煤及煤焦燃烧特性的影响

利用热天平对比研究了大同煤及煤焦在O₂/N₂、O₂/CO₂和O₂/H₂O/CO₂中的燃烧行为,探讨CO₂和H₂O气化反应对其富氧燃烧特性的影响。结果表明,在5%氧气浓度下,煤粉在O₂/N₂、O₂/CO₂和O₂/H₂O/CO₂中的燃烧速率按顺序依次降低。氧气浓度降低到2%,由于CO₂和H₂O气化反应的作用,煤粉在高温区的整体反应速率按顺序依次增大。当氧气浓度为5%时,煤焦在O₂/CO₂中的燃烧速率要低于O₂/N₂中的燃烧速率,但燃烧反应推迟后气化反应的参与使得煤焦在O₂/H₂O/CO₂中的整体反应速率显著升高。当氧气浓度降低到2%后,随着温度的升高,在CO₂气化反应的作用下,煤焦在O₂/CO₂中的整体反应速率逐渐高于O₂/N₂中的燃烧速率。在O₂/H₂O/CO₂中,由于H₂O在共气化中起主要作用,煤焦在O₂/H₂O/CO₂高温区的整体反应速率进一步升高。动力学分析表明,在5%氧浓度时,煤焦在O₂/N₂、O₂/CO₂和O₂/H₂O/CO₂中的表观活化能依次升高。随着氧气浓度的降低,在不同反应气氛中的表观活化能均有所下降。     

Electron paramagnetic resonance study of the reactions of tetrathiomolybdate with roussin salts and esters, and with some related iron nitrosyls

The tetrathiomolybdate ion [MoS₄]²⁻ reacts in DMF solution with Roussin esters Fe₂(SR)₂(NO)₄ (R = Me, Et, n-Pr, i-Pr, n-Bu,t-Bu, n-C₅H₁₁) to yield the paramagnetic iron nitrosyls [Fe(NO)₂(SR)₂]⁻ (1), [Fe(NO)₂(S₂MoS₂]⁻ (2) and [Fe(NO)(S₂MOS₂)₂]⁻ (3). The new complexes (2) and (3) have been characterized by EPR spectroscopy and the assignment to them of constitutions based respectively upon tetrahedral and square pyramidal iron is supported by EHMO calculations. Fe₂(SPh)₂(NO)₄ with [MoS₄]²⁻ yields only [Fe(NO)₂(SPh)₂]⁻, and preformed (3) reacts with PhS⁻ to give firstly EPR-silent species, and then [Fe(NO)₂(SPh)₂]⁻. The mononitrosyl (3) can also be formed by reaction of [MoS₄]²⁻ with [Fe₄S₃(NO)₇]⁻, Fe₄S₄(NO)₄, or Fe₂I₂(NO)₄.     

SCR脱硝过程中SO2催化氧化的原位红外研究

采用工业用V₂O₅-WO₃/TiO₂催化剂,基于傅里叶原位红外光谱(FT-IR)技术考察SO₂的氧化过程及烟气组分对SO₂氧化行为的影响;结果表明,SO₂在催化剂表面氧化主要是首先吸附在催化剂表面V₂O₅活性位上,占据其O原子,以SO^2-₃形式存在,后与催化剂表面V⁵⁺-OH发生反应,生成金属硫酸盐(VOSO₄)中间产物,O₂重新氧化催化氧化过程中由于被SO₂夺取O原子而被还原的V₂O₅物种,使V⁴⁺转化为V⁵⁺,促进金属硫酸盐(VOSO₄)向SO₃转化;SO₂与NO、NH₃的竞争吸附阻碍SO₂在V₂O₅活性点位上的氧化;在SCR中,NO的脱除与SO₂的氧化是相互抑制的关系。     

Electron beam treatment of lignite-burning flue gas with high concentrations of sulfur dioxide and water

Experiments were carried out to investigate the removals of SO₂ and NO_x from simulated lignite-burning flue gas containing SO₂ (4800 ppm), NO (320 ppm) and H₂O (22%) by electron beam irradiation. Removal efficiencies of SO₂ and NO_x were achieved to reach 97 and 88% at 70°C, and 74 and 85% at 80°C, respectively, with the dose of 10.3 kGy without NH₃ leakage. The higher removal efficiencies of SO₂ and NO_x were observed in simulated lignite-burning flue gas than in coal-fired flue gas containing 800 ppm of SO₂, 225 ppm of NO and 7.5% H₂O at the same treatment condition. The higher removal efficiencies were attributed to the higher concentrations of SO₂, H₂O, and added NH₃. Simulation calculations indicated that the higher concentrations of these components enhance the effective radical reactions to oxidize NO to form NO₂ with HO₂ radical, and to oxidize SO₂ to form SO₃ with OH radical and O₂. The reactions of NO_x with N and NH₂ radicals to produce N₂ and N₂O also promote the NO_x removal. By-product was determined to be the mixture of (NH₄)₂SO₄ and NH₄NO₃ containing a small amount of H₂SO₄.     

Structural Characterizations of Spherical Octadecavanadates Encapsulating Na+, K+ or I- and Ellipsoidal Octadecamolybdate Encapsulating two Anions of SO42-

Polyoxoanions of tungsten, molybdenum, and vanadium have been the subject of interest since their wide variety of compositions, structures, and properties give rise to numerous important applications^[1]. From the NH₄VO₃/Na₂S_x (or (NH₄)₂S_x) reaction system we synthesized several spherical octadecavanadates with Na⁺,K⁺, NH₄⁺ or I encapsulated using hydrothermal method. These complexes include (NH₄)₁₁[V₁₈O₄₂(Na)]·(H₂O)₂₀ 1; (NH₄)₁₁[V₁₈O₄₂(K)]·(H₂O)₆, 2; (NH₄)₁₀(Na)[V₁₈O₄₂(Na)]·(H₂O)₂₆, 3; (NH₄)₁₁[V₁₈O₄₂(NH4]·(H₂O)₂₀, 4; and (NH₄)₂₀(I)₇[V₁₈O₄₂(I)]·(H₂O)₁₂, 5, in which the structures of 1, 2, 3, and 5 have been determined by X-ray analyses. In the analogous reaction system of (NH₄)₂MoS₄/(NH₄)₂S_x, we also obtained one ellipsoidal octadecamolybdate, (NH₄)₄[Mo₁₈O₅₄(2SO₄)]·(H₂O)₄, 6 with a standard Wells-Dawson structure^[2]. The Ortep drawings of the two kinds of structures are viewed as follows.     

Surfactants having polyfluoroalkyl chains. II. Syntheses of anionic surfactants having two polyfluoroalkyl chains including a trifluoromethyl group at each tail and their flocculation-redispersion ability for dispersed magnetite particles in water

Anionic surfactants having two polyfluoroalkyl chains per molecule, i.e. the sodium salt of bis(1H, 1H, 2H,2H-heptadeca-fluorodecyl)-2-sulfosuccinate, CF₃(CF₂)₇(CH₂)₂OCOCH₂CH(SO₃Na)COO(CH₂)₂(CF₂)₇CF₃, the sodium salt of bis(1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-tridecafluoro-octyl)-2-sulfosuccinate, CF₃(CF₂)₅(CH₂)₂OCOCH₂CH(SO₃Na)COO(CH₂)₂(CF₂)₅CF₃, and the sodium salt of bis(1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-nonafluorohexyl)-2-sulfosuccinate, CF₃(CF₂)₃(CH₂)₂OCOCH₂CH(SO₃Na)COO(CH₂)₂(CF₂)₃CF₃, have been prepared from maleic anhydride, the corresponding alcohols possessing a polyfluoroalkyl chain and sodium hydrogen sulfite. The flocculation and redispersion abilities of these surfactants for dispersed magnetic particles in water have been examined to investigate the effect of the chain length. It was found that this ability was enhanced by an increase in the chain length. The contact angles for water for pelleted surface-modified magnetite have been measured. In order to compare this ability and the contact angles, data for other fluorinated surfactant have been obtained. The Kraff point, the surface tension and the pNa of the aqueous surfactant solutions have also been measured.

Addition of 1,4-dithiols to dichloromethane solutions of [PtCl₂(P-P)] (P-P = (PPh₃)₂, Ph₂P(CH₂)₃PPh₂, Phd₂P(CH₂)₄PPh₂; 1,4-dithiols = HS(CH₂)₄SH, (−)DIOSH₂ (2,3-O-isopropylidene-1,4-dithiol-l-threitol), BINASH₂ (1,1′-dinaphthalene-2,2′-dithiol)) in the presence of NEt₃ yielded the mononuclear complexes [Pt(1,4-dithiolato)(P-P)]. Related palladium(II) complexes [Pd(dithiolato)(P-P)] (P-P=Ph₂P(CH₂)₃PPh₂, Ph₂P(CH₂)₄PPh₂; dithiolato = ⁻S(CH₂)₄S⁻, (−)-DIOS) were prepared by the same method. The structure of [Pt((−)DIOS)(PPh₃)₂] and [Pd(S(CH₂)₄S)(Ph₂P(CH₂)₃PPh₂)] complexes was determined by X-ray diffraction methods. Pt—dithiolato—SnC1₂ systems are active in the hydroformylation of styrene. At 100 atm and 125°C [Pt(dithiolate)(P-P)]/SnCl₂ (Pt:Sn = 20) systems provided aldehyde conversion up to 80%.

Microporous Zinc Formate for Efficient Separation of Acetylene over Carbon Dioxide

Separation of acetylene(C₂H₂) from carbon dioxide(CO₂) by adsorbents is very challenging owing to their high similarity on molecular shape and dimension. Exploring inexpensive and easily available porous materials is of importance to facilitate the practical implementation of the challenging but energy-efficient separation. Herein, we utilize an easily available porous material[Zn₃(HCOO)₆] for the selective separation of C₂H₂ over CO₂. Because of the pore confinement in[Zn₃(HCOO)₆](pore size of 0.47 nm) and accessible oxygen sites for preferential binding of C₂H₂, this material exhibits high low-pressure uptake for C₂H₂(63 cm³/cm³ at 10 kPa and 298 K) and high C₂H₂/CO₂ selectivity(7.4 under ambient conditions) that is comparable to those of out-performing porous materials. The efficient separation of[Zn₃(HCOO)₆] for C₂H₂/CO₂ mixture has also been confirmed by the breakthrough experiments.     

Synthesis, structure and reactions of organometallic compounds of Groups 1–3 containing bulky silicon-substituted alkyl groups

Complexes trans-[PtX(L)(PPh₃)₂]A [1: X = CF₃; A = BF₄; L = NCNH₂, NCNMe₂, NCNEt₂, or NCNC(NH₂)₂. 2: X = Cl; A = BPh₄; L = NCNMe₂ or NCNEt₂] and cis-[PtCl(L)(PPh₃)₂][BPh₄] [3: L = NCNH₂ or NCNC(NH₂)₂], which appear to be the first cyanamide or cyanoguanidine complexes of platinum to be reported, have been prepared by treatment of trans-[PtBr(CF₃)(PPh₃)₂] (in CH₂Cl₂/acetone and in the presence of Ag[BF₄]) or of cis-[PtCl₂(PPh₃)₂] (in THF and in the presence of Na[BPh₄]), respectively, with the appropriate substrate. In KBr pellets or in solution 1 (L = NCNMe₂ or NCNEt₂) undergoes ready replacement of the organocyanamide (under the trans influence of CF₃) by bromide to regenerate trans-(PtBr(CF₃)(PPh₃)₂]. The X-ray structure of 1 (X = CF₃, A = BF₄, L = NCNEt₂) is also reported, and shows the presence of two apical intramolecular contacts of the metal with two ortho-hydrogen atoms of the phosphines, whereas the amine N atom of the diethylcyanamide is trigonal planar in the linear NCN framework with a delocalized π system.     

Übergangsmetall-silyl-komplexe L. darstellung, struktur und reaktivität der Trihydrido-Silyl-und -Stannyl-Komplexe L3FeH3(ER3) (E =Si,

Photochemical reaction of (CO)₂(dppe)Fe(H)(SiR₃) with HSiR₃ (SiR₃ = Si(OMe)₃, Si(OEt)₃, SiMe₃, SiMe₂Ph, SiPh₃) yields the trihydrido silyl complexes (CO)(dppe)FeH₃(SiR₃ ). The analogous complexes (PR′Ph₂)₃ FeH₃(ER₃) are prepared by reaction of the H₂ -complexes (PR′Ph₂)₃FeH₂(H₂) with HER₃ (ER₃ = SiMe₃, SiMC₂Ph, SiMePh₂, SiPh₃, Si(Me₂)OSi(Me₂)H, SnPh₃, SnEt₃). Additional derivates of (CO) (dppe)FeH₃(SiR₃) (SiR₃ = SiMePh₂) and (PR′Ph₂)₃FeH₃(SiR₃) (SiR₃ = Si(OMe)₃, SiH₂Ph, SiHPh₂, Si(OEt)₃, SiMePhCl) are accessible by silane exchange starting from (CO)(dppe)FeH₃(SiMe₃) and (PR′Ph₂) ₃FeH₃(SiMe₃). (PBuPh₂)₃FeH₃(SiMePh₂) was also prepared from (PBuPh₂)₃FeH₂(N₂) and HSiMePh₂, and (PBuPh₂)₃FeH₃(SnMe₃) from (PBuPh₂)₃FeH₂(H₂) and Me₃SnCl. The complex (PBuPh₂) ₃FeH₃(SnMe₃) crystallizes as a toluene solvate in the cubic space group I 3d and shows crystallographically imposed C₃-symmetry. The complexes (CO)₂ (dppe)Fe(H)(SiR₃) and (PR′Ph₂)₃FeH₃(ER₃) are highly dynamic in solution. Low temperature NMR measurements and the E, Fe, H coupling constants strongly indicate that the exchange mechanism involves η²-HER₃ ligands.     

Structure and stability of closo-BnHn−2(CO)2 (n = 5–12)

Closo-B_nH_n−2(CO)₂ (n = 5–12), isolobal analogues of closo-C₂B_n−2H_n, have been investigated at the B3LYP/6-311+G^**density functional level of theory. The most stable isomers of closo-B_nH_n−2(CO)₂ are similar to those of closo-C₂B_n−2H_n in geometric patterns apart from closo-B₆H₄(CO)₂, and closo-B_nH_n−2(CO)₂ is much less strained than closo-C₂B_n−2H_n. Energetic analysis identifies closo-B₆H₄(CO)₂, closo-B₁₂H₁₀(CO)₂ and closo-B₁₀H₈(CO)₂ to be most stable, of which the latter two cages have been prepared experimentally. On the basis of the negative and rather large nucleus independent chemical shifts (NICS), closo-B_nH_n−2(CO)₂ are aromatic. To aid further experimental study, the CO stretching frequencies have been computed.
