关于反应分子数定义的讨论

There are two different views on the definition of reaction molecularity in physical chemistry textbooks and related literatures so far. We give a deep discussion about this conception herein. Starting with the development of chemical kinetics and the definition of elementary reaction and state-state reaction, we clarify that elementary reaction and state-state reaction are the conceptions belonging to macro-and micro-systems, respectively, and reaction molecularity is also belonging to micro-conception. Based on this conclusion, we think that the more reasonable definition of reaction molecularity should be "the number of chemical particles that take part in a state-state reaction (or an elementary chemi-physical reaction) as a reactant".     

Direct partial oxidation of methane to methanol： Reaction zones and role of catalyst location

Direct partial oxidation of methane to methanol was investigated in a specially designed reactor. Methanol yield of about 7%-8% was obtained in gas phase partial oxidation. It was proposed that the reactor could be divided into three reaction zones, namely pre-reaction zone, fierce reaction zone, and post-reaction zone, when the temperature was high enough to initiate a reaction. The oxidation of methane proceeded and was completed mostly in the fierce reaction zone. When the reactant mixture entered the post-reaction zone, only a small amount of produced methanol would bring about secondary reactions, because molecular oxygen had been exhausted in the fierce reaction zone. A catalyst, if necessary, should be placed either in the pre-reaction zone, to initiate a partial oxidation reaction at a lower temperature, or in the fierce reaction zone to control the homogeneous free radical reaction.

对化学反应数据分类获取反应知识的新方法

尽管已有大量化学反应数据可供使用,但化学家仍常常感到很难便捷地从中得到所需的信息.这主要是由于反应数据库基于结构的检索方法与化学家解决问题的方法相去甚远.为解决这一问题而发展了一种通过对反应进行二级分类得到精细描述反应知识的层次模型的方法.第一次分类时不同的同类反应都在由一组普适性好的称作反应结构一级描述符构成的空间中进行.在第一次分类结果的基础上,得到每一类反应的公共结构特征作为第二次分类的结构描述符,利用它们进行更精细的分类,即可从原始反应数据中得到所需的基核反应.由特定反应、基核反应和基型反应就可将反应知识更合理地组织在同类反应知识库中,使它们得到更好的利用.     

Reaction Chemistry of W—Mn／SiO2 Catalyst for the Oxidative Coupling of Methane

Reaction chemistry of the OCM reaction on W-Mn/SiO2 catalyst has been reviewed in this account.Initial activity and selectivity,stability in a long-term reaction,reaction at elevated pressures and a modelling test in a stainless-steel fluidized-bed reactor show that W-Mn/SiO2 has promising performance for the development of an OCM process that directly produces ethylene from natural gas.A study on surface catalytic reaction kinetics and used cataly st structure characterization revealed a possible reason why C2 and COx selectivity changed during the long-term reaction.Further improvement of the catalyst composition and preparation metbod should be a future direction of study on OCM reaction over W-Mn/SiO2 catalyst.     

Effect of a proximal substituent on the triruthenium dodecacarbonyl-catalyzed reductive carbonylation of nitroarenes

Three nitroarenes were submitted to Ru₃(CO)₁₂-catalyzed reductive carbonylation in acetonitrile and in cis-cyclooctene. The main reaction products were the corresponding amines, ureas and six- or five-membered cyclization products. Optimization of the reaction varying the temperature, the CO pressure, the catalyst/substrate ratio and the reaction time and a statistical analysis of conversion and selectivity data allow to suggest a reaction mechanism in some reaction conditions.     

Ni-Catalyzed Cyclization of Enynes and Alkynylboronates: Atom-Economical Synthesis of Boryl-1,4-dienes

We report a novel atom-economical Ni-catalyzed cyclization reaction of enynes with alkynylboronates. The reaction employs a non-expensive Ni salt, a phosphine-based ligand and easy-handling alkynylboronates as boron–carbon source. The reaction provides complex fused-bicyclic compounds containing borylated 1,4-cyclohexadienes in high yields in short reaction times, involving the formation of two C−C bonds in one step. A reasonable reaction mechanism is proposed based on mechanistic experimental results.     

Effect of phase transfer chemistry, segmented fluid flow, and sonication on the synthesis of cinnamic esters

Wittig reaction under Phase Transfer conditions was performed in a flow reaction system. Different bases, aldehydes, phosphonium salts, and flow reaction parameters were investigated, in absence of a phase transfert catalyst. An improvement of the reaction outcome (yield and reaction time) was achieved through the immersion of the reactor into an ultrasound bath.     

Kinetics of Phase Transfer Catalytic Preparation of Benzyl Phenyl Ether

Benzyl phenyl ether is prepared in a well-stirred batch reactor from phenol and benzyl chloride using tetrabutylammonium iodide as phase transfer catalyst. Phenol with sodium hydroxide is dissolved in water as the aqueous phase, and benzyl chloride is dissolved in toluene as the organic phase. Tetrabutylammonium iodide gives high reaction rate without the formation of micelles during the reaction. The reaction mechanism is verified by infrared spectrum study and other experimental observations. The kinetics of the reaction of benzyl chloride is modelled as a first-order chemical reaction. The cocatalytic effect of the iodide ion, and salting out effect on the overall reaction rate are discussed in detail using experimental data.     

异丁烯直接胺化合成叔丁胺反应的热力学研究

叔丁胺是一种重要的有机化工中间体,广泛应用于制备橡胶促进剂,医药,农药,着色剂等诸多下游产物.目前,叔丁胺主要的生产方法,如叔丁脲水解法,异丁烯-氢氰酸法(Ritter法),卤代烃胺化法等存在产品收率较低,涉及强酸/强碱的使用,对设备腐蚀和环境污染严重等问题.异丁烯直接胺化生产叔丁胺,原子利用率100%,是典型的绿色化学反应.20世纪末,BASF公司以β沸石为催化剂,率先实现了异丁烯胺化技术的工业应用.但是,其反应条件苛刻,压力达28 MPa,生产过程能耗大,对设备材质要求高.目前,关于异丁烯直接胺化的文献较少,且相关研究多在远离工业应用的常压条件下进行.同时,对于异丁烯直接胺化反应过程的热力学,特别是缓和反应条件下的热力学尚待进一步系统和深入地研究分析,以期指导低温低压条件下高性能胺化催化剂的研发和工艺条件优化.我们计算了473?573 K间,异丁烯胺化制备叔丁胺反应的ΔrH,ΔrG,Kp等热力学数据.在此基础上,分析了反应温度,压力和氨烯比(摩尔比)对异丁烯平衡转化率(叔丁胺选择性>99%,未予考虑)的影响.结果表明,异丁烯胺化是中等强度的放热反应,升高反应温度会急剧降低异丁烯的平衡转化率,如在5 MPa,氨烯比1的条件下,反应温度从473 K提高到573 K,异丁烯平衡转化率从40.6%降到6.9%.但从动力学角度而言,升温可提高胺化反应速率,因此在特定的反应条件下和催化剂上,必然存在最佳反应温度.提高反应压力和氨烯比有利于提高异丁烯的热力学平衡转化率.开发在低温和相对较低的压力下具有较高胺化活性的催化剂是提高该过程经济性和实用性的关键.在较缓和的反应条件下(523 K,5 MPa,氨烯比4及异丁烯空速0.5 h?1),考察了ZSM-5(R=50和R=412,R为硅铝比,下同),ZSM-11(R=48),MOR(R=10),SAPO-11(摩尔组成,1.6Al2O3:1.0SiO2:1.4P2O5)等不同拓扑结构分子筛以及氧化铝在异丁烯胺化反应中的性能.结果表明,空白试验中,无叔丁胺产物生成.在ZSM-11上的获得最高的异丁烯胺化转化率,为14.2%(达到平衡转化率的52.2%),在ZSM-5(R=50),ZSM-5(R=412)和MOR上,异丁烯转化率分别为13.9%,6.4%和2.9%,叔丁胺选择性均大于99.8%.而SAPO-11和氧化铝未呈现出胺化反应活性.关联氨气程序升温脱附,吡啶吸附红外表征结果及分子筛孔结构特点,表明分子筛胺化活性与其孔径及Br?nsted酸的酸量和酸强度密切相关.为了进一步验证实际反应体系中反应条件对异丁烯胺化反应过程的影响规律,我们在ZSM-11催化剂上,系统考察了反应温度,压力,氨烯比和异丁烯空速对催化剂胺化反应性能的影响及变化规律.结果表明,在其他条件不变的情况下,异丁烯转化率随着温度的升高呈现出先增大后减小的趋势.适当提高原料中氨烯比和反应压力,以及采用较低异丁烯空速有利于促进异丁烯的转化.上述规律与热力学计算结果呈现出较好的一致性.在ZSM-11催化剂上,异丁烯直接胺化反应的较佳反应条件为523 K,5 MPa,氨烯比4,异丁烯空速0.5 h?1.上述结果可为异丁烯直接胺化合成叔丁胺过程新型高效催化剂的研发和反应工艺条件优化提供参考和指导.

Feedback Kinetics in Mechanochemistry: The Importance of Cohesive States

Although mechanochemical synthesis is becoming more widely applied and even commercialised, greater basic understanding is needed if the field is to progress on less of a trial‐and‐error basis. We report that a mechanochemical reaction in a ball mill exhibits unusual sigmoidal feedback kinetics that differ dramatically from the simple first‐order kinetics for the same reaction in solution. An induction period is followed by a rapid increase in reaction rate before the rate decreases again as the reaction goes to completion. The origin of these unusual kinetics is found to be a feedback cycle involving both chemical and mechanical factors. During the reaction the physical form of the reaction mixture changes from a powder to a cohesive rubber‐like state, and this results in the observed reaction rate increase. The study reveals that non‐obvious and dynamic rheological changes in the reaction mixture must be appreciated to understand how mechanochemical reactions progress.     

MNDO study of reaction paths: Hydroboration of methyl cyanide

The hydroboration reaction of methyl cyanide has been investigated by the MNDO method. It has been shown that the reaction requires an activation energy of 25.3 kcal/mol and involves a four-center-like transition state in the rate-determining step. This reaction has been compared with the corresponding reaction of hydrogen cyanide, and the effect of methyl substitution on the reaction has been discussed. The charge-transfer effects accompanying the reaction have also been studied.     

Topological studies on IRC paths of the isomerization reaction of silicon methyl-nitrene

On the basis of kinetic study of isomerization reaction of H_3Si-N, ab initio (RHF, UHF/6-31G) calculations on some points of the singlet and triplet reaction paths were carried out. The breakage and formation of chemical bond in the reaction are discussed. The calculated results show that there is a transitional structure of three-membered ring on each of reaction paths. A 'structural transition region' and a 'structural transition state' in both of studied reaction are found. Our previous conclusion that the structure transition state (STS) always appears before the energy transition state (ETS) in endothermic reaction and after ETS in exothermic reaction is further confirmed. The relationship between the change of spin density distribution and the structural transition state are investigated.

Thermolysis of polyethylene hydroperoxides in the melt, Part 12: Mechanisms and kinetics of thermolysis

The thermolysis of polyethylene hydroperoxides is attributed to the reaction of two hydroperoxide groups. This bimolecular reaction appears as a first-order reaction with the mean values of the hydroperoxide concentrations that can be used for the experimental verification of the kinetics. In low molecular mass liquids and solutions these findings would be irreconcilable. However, in polymer melts, this contradiction is more apparent than real. It is a consequence of the heterogeneous kinetics valid in polymer melts. The bimolecular reaction involves the decomposition of pairs of hydroperoxide groups that are relatively close in the elementary oxidation volumes. By diffusion these hydroperoxide groups can come close enough for reaction. From the chemical point of view the decomposition is a bimolecular reaction. However, from the kinetic point of view it is a first-order reaction of the hydroperoxide pairs. The dependency of the first-order rate on the initial hydroperoxide concentration is explained by the heterogeneous kinetics. The activation energy of the overall process can be related to the sum of the activation energies pertaining to the chemical reaction and to the diffusion process.
