EFFECTS OF CONFORMATION OF POLYMER LIGANDS IN COPPER(Ⅱ) COMPLEXES ON CATALYLIC ACTIVITIES AND MECHANISM OF OXIDATIVE COUPLING OF β-NAPHTHOL

Copper(Ⅱ) complexes of sericin, chitosan, 6-and 2-aminodeoxystarch were used as catalysts in oxidative coupling of β-naphthol, the effects of conformation of the polymer ligands in these complexes on activities of the catalysts and mechanisms of the reaction were studied. It was found that if the catalysts react with the substrate by mechanism similar to the enzymic catalysis they must be composed of polymer ligands with highly coiled, especially with densely helicoidal, conformations. While catalysts composed of loosely coiled or helicoidal hgands react with the substrate through molecular collision and have relatively lower activities only. Under nitrogen, catalysts from sericin and chitosam reacting with β-naphthol give optically active β-binaphthol, rotating polarized light to right, but the stereoselectivities are rather low.     

STUDY ON POLYMER-Ru-Co BIMETALLIC COMPLEXES CATALYSTS Ⅱ.X-RAY PHOTOELECTRON SPECTROSCOPIC ANALYSIS

Polymer Ru-Co bimetallic complexes have been examined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.The catalyst is highly active only when the mole ratio of Co/Ru is 4: 3. The activity of catalysts does not depend on the total Co/Ru ratio, but on the surface stoichiometry of Co and Ru. When the relative intensities of Co_2_p and Ru_(3d) of XPS peaks are close to each other and both are high,the catalyst exhibits its maximum activity The mechanism ofcatalytic hydroformylation has been discussed.     

EXTENDED KINETIC ISOTOPE METHOD——ITS APPLICATION TO THE ANALYSIS OF BUTENE OXIDATIVE DEHYDROGENATION REACTION NETWORK OVER THREE CATALYSTS

The "Extended Kinetic Isotope Method" (EKIM) is presented in this paper in detail. The EKIM is applied to the analysis of butene oxidative dehydrogenation reaction network over Bi-Mo-P, Sn-P-Li and ferrite catalysts, including reversible isomerization between the three n-butene isomers, selective oxidation of n-butenes to butadiene, and totaI oxidation of n-butenes and butadiene. The reaction orders of selective and total oxidation reactions, as well as the rate constants of the 13 step reactions, have been estimated. From the results obtained, it is suggested that the rate determining step in the selective oxidation of butenes over the Bi-Mo-P and Sn-P-Li catalysts should be the abstraction of first hydrogen to form allyl intermediate. However, over the ferrite catalyst, the second H-abstraction from allyl intermediate rather than the first one might be the rate determining step. Mechanisms of selective oxidation and isomcrization reactions over the three catalysts are also discussed.

STUDY ON HIGHLY ACTIVE ZIEGLERNATTA CATALYSTS FOR POLYMERIZATION OF OLEFINS

In this paper, highly active Ziegler-Natta catalysts of MgCl_2 supported TiCl_4 for synthesis ofpolyolefins, using di-n-butyl phthalate (DNBP) as internal donor and diphenyl dimethoxyl silane(DPDMS) as external donor, have been prepared. The conditions controlling the treatment ofsupport were studied. The interactions of various components present in the catalysts and theirinfluences on catalytic performance were investigated. It is found that by using DNBP and DPDMSas internal and external donors together the polymer products with higher isotactic index can beobtained. Plausible structure model and mechanism were proposed.

环戊二烯基钌配合物催化的高选择性苯乙炔二聚反应

Transition metal vinylidene complexes (M=C=CHR) have attracted a great deal of attention in recent years as a new type of organometallic intermediates that may have unusual reactivity[1]. Their reactivity has been explored and their application to organic synthesis is developed[2]. Recent reports on the ruthenium-vinylidene complexes[3]suggest that the reaction of ruthenium-vinylidene complexes with a base generates the coordinatively unsaturated ruthenium acetylide species, which are involved in a number of catalytic and stoichiometric reactions of alkynes. For example,the coordinatively unsaturated ruthenium acetylide species C5Me5Ru(PPh3)-C≡CPh,formed from the reaction of the vinylidene complex C5Me5Ru(PPh3) (Cl)=C=CHPh with a base was reactive toward a variety of small molecules and active in catalytic dimerization of terminal alkynes[4]. The dimerization of terminal alkyne is an effective method of forming enynes, but its synthetic application in organic synthesis has been limited dueto low selectivity for dimeric products[5]. In this communication, we report that three ruthenium complexes were used as catalysts for the highly selective dimerization of phenylacetylene.     

THE EFFECT OF MODIFICATION OF COORDINATING GROUPS ON THE CATALYTIC BEHAVIORS OF POLYMER CATALYSTS

Several polymer-supported palladium complex catalysts containing two different coordinatinggroups were prepared and the cooperative effect of the coordinating groups on the catalytic behaviorsof polymer catalysts was studied. It was found that poly(acrylic acid-co-acrylonitrile)-Pd complex(PAA-AN-Pd) is a more active and stable catalyst for hydrogenation than both poly(acrylic acid)-Pd and poly(acrylonitrile)-Pd complexes. A marked change of catalytic behaviors of poly(N-substituted maleamic acid-co-styrene)-Pd complexes was observed in comparison with poly(maleicacid-co-styrene)-Pd complex. Acetophenone was reduced to 1-phenyl ethanol by poly(N-phenylmaleamic acid-Co-styrene)-Pd complex (N-1-Pd), but ethylbenzene was obtained using poly(maleicacid-co-styrene)-Pd complex as a catalyst. The influence of solvents, additives and N/Pd gramatomic ratio on the catalytic behaviors of the polymer complexes was investigated.     

Prospects and crucial problems in oligomerization and polymerization with iron and cobalt complex catalysts

<正>The discovery of highly active 2,6-bis(imino)pyridyl iron and cobalt complexes provided a milestone of latetransition metal catalysts for ethylene oligomerization and polymerization with being currently investigated for the scale-up process.The crucial problems are remaining in the catalytic systems:the catalytic systems targeting ethylene polymerization produce more oligomers at elevated reaction temperatures,however,there is a recognizable amount of high-molecular-weight polyethylene remained in the modified catalytic system for the oligomerization process.Beyond the modification of bis(imino)pyridyl metal complexes,several alternative procatalysts' models have been developed in our group.This review highlighted the achievements in exploring new iron and cobalt complexes with tridentate NNN ligands as procatalysts for ethylene oligomerization and polymerization.     

Synthesis of New Ruthenium（Ⅱ）Bipyridyl Complexes and Studies on Their Photophysical and Photoelectrochemical Properties

Two new mixed-ligand ruthenium(Ⅱ） complexes,Ru(dcbpy)-(LL)NCS)2[where dcbpy=4,4‘-dicarboxyl-2,2‘‘-bipyridine,LL=4,4‘-bis(N-methyl-anilinomethyl)-2,2‘‘-bipyridine(2)],were synthesized,and the tphotophysical properties of these complexes were studied.The metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) transitions of these complexes exhibited solvatochromic effect due to the existence of NCS ligands.The MLCT energies also strongly depend on the pH values of the solutions because of protonation and deprotonation of the carboxyl groups.The pKa values of the ground state,4.0 for 1 and 3.8 for 2,were obtained from the titration curves.The photoelectrochemical properties of 1 and 2 as sensitizers in sandwich-type solar cells have been studied.Complex 1 exhibited better photoelectrochemical behavior than complex 2 as expected.It was proved that the design of mixed-ligand complex by introducing electron donating group in one of the ligands should be a promising approach.

Improved catalytic performance of Ni catalysts for steam methane reforming in a micro-channel reactor

Milliseconds process to produce hydrogen by steam methane reforming （SMR） reaction, based on Ni catalyst rather than noble catalyst such as Pd, Rh or Ru, in micro-channel reactors has been paid more and more attentions in recent years. This work aimed to further improve the catalytic performance of nickel-based catalyst by the introduction of additives, i.e., MgO and FeO, prepared by impregnation method on the micro-channels made of metal-ceramic complex substrate. The prepared catalysts were tested in the same micro-channel reactor by switching the catalyst plates. The results showed that among the tested catalysts Ni-Mg catalyst had the highest activity, especially under harsh conditions, i.e., at high space velocity and/or low reaction temperature. Moreover, the catalyst activity and selectivity were stable during the 12 h on stream test even when the ratio of steam to carbon （SIC） was as low as 1.0. The addition of MgO promoted the active Ni species to have a good dispersion on the substrate, leading to a better catalytic performance for SMR reaction.     

氮掺杂碳纳米管负载的Ru和Pd催化剂上异丙醇的转化(英文)

Ru and Pd (2 wt%) loaded on pure and on Ndoped carbon nanotubes (NCNTs) were prepared and tested using the isopropyl alcohol decomposition reaction as probe reaction. The presence of nitrogen functionalities (pyridinic, pyrrolic, and quaternary nitrogen) on the nitrogen doped support induced a higher metal dispersion: Pd/NCNT (1.8 nm) Pd/CNT (4.9 nm), and Ru/NCNT (2.4 nm) Ru/CNT (3.0 nm). The catalytic activity of the supports was determined first. Isopropyl alcohol conversion produces acetone on CNTs while on NCNTs it led to both dehydration and dehydrogenation products. At 210 °C and in the presence of air, the isopropyl alcohol conversion was higher on the NCNTs (25%) than on the CNTs (11%). The Pd loaded catalysts were more active and more selective than the Ru ones. At 115 °C, the Pd catalysts were 100% selective towards acetone for a conversion of 100%, whereas the Ru catalysts led to dehydration and dehydrogenation products. The nitrogen doping induced the appearance of redox properties when oxygen is present in the reaction mixture.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Lanthanide Schiff Base Complex [2-OC6H4CHN（2,6-i-Pr2C6H3）]2ErCl（THF）

1 INTRODUCTION The Schiff base ligands have been used to provide a stereochemically rigid ligand framework in homogenous precatalysts of some metals, such as salen Cr catalysts in asymmetric ring-opening re- action of epoxide[1] and salen Al in ring-opening polymerization of lactide and related cyclic esters[2].

C-H BOND ACTIVATION AND FUNCTIONALIZATION OF METHANE UNDER MILD CONDITIONS

In the presence of Rh(COD)(dppe)Cl (COD=1, 5-cyclootadiene, dppe=1,2-bis-(diphenylphosphino)ethane) and CO, we studied the H/Cl exchange reaction between CH_4 and o-dichlorobenzene, and observed that the active species of the reaction is a complex containing dppe and carbonyl ligands. We suggest that the mechanism of exchange reaction may be described by the elementary reaction of oxidative addition and reductive elimination. In the presence of trans-PtHL_2X (L=PEt_3, P(n-Pr)_3, P(n-Bu)_3, PPh_3; X=Cl~-, Br~-, I~-, CN~-) complexes, we have studied the oxidative chlorination reaction of methane. The catalytic activity was found to be related to the electron-donating properties and the cone angle of tertiary phosphine, as well as the trans-effect of X anionic ligands. In addition to the above reactions, we have also studied the insertion reaction of acetylene into C-H bond of methane catalyzed by organotransition-metal complexes containing heterocyclic chelate ligands, such as bipy, phen and TMEDA, in DMF     

聚合物固载化聚乙二醇季胺盐型相转移催化剂的结构与催化活性

The gelatinous and macroporous phase transfer catalysts with multiple active centers were synthesized by means of quarterisation of PEG tertiary amine and chloromethylated St DVB copolymer. They were examined as phase transfer catalysts in the reaction of n C 8H 17 Br with solid NaI. The experimental results showed that the reaction rate was first order with respect to the concentration of n C 8H 17 Br. The effects of catalyst structure on the catalytic activity were also investigated. The observed reaction rate constant ( k obsd ) increased as the degree of cross linking of polymer decreased. Macroporous catalysts showed a higher activity (2～2 5 times) than that of microporous catalysts with the same degree of cross linking of polymer, particle size and amount of supported PEG. Molecular weight of PEG also showed much influence on k obsd . As molecular weight of PEG rose properly, the catalysts showed a higher activity. The results were discussed from the aspect of triphase catalysis reaction mechanism.
